"But believe me, this time Britain cannot confront Germany like it did back then for more than ten years. Our submarines and other sea power pretenders will completely destroy the British Empire. They only need one opportunity, and we can create this opportunity!" Ruprecht said.

"Submarines are indeed a despicable weapon, but I don't agree with what you said later!" said Belfort.

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, but I think Prince Mountbatten should be able to understand what I said. Let's put it simply. If the High Seas Fleet decides to fight a decisive battle with your country, then for your country, is the result of whether the Great Fleet wins?" Ruprecht said with a smile.

"Damn it! I have never seen someone like you. This is purely harmful to others and not beneficial to oneself!" In an instant! Prince Mountbatten, who once served as the British Navy Minister, immediately understood what Ruprecht said meant!

The king is fixedly lonely, and a king who is about to decline is even more enemies all over the world! From a tactical perspective, even if the British fleet can severely damage the German high seas fleet, the large fleet will also suffer a lot of losses! Not to mention how many warships can the large fleet be left after a war. But at least, the British were unable to compete with the United States and Japan in the Far East. They could not face the United States in the Atlantic Ocean! And if they lose the navy's maneuverability advantage around the world, no one would let the British colonies go!

Although the Japanese are allies now, who can guarantee that the Japanese will be allies of Britain in ten or twenty years? Without the powerful Far East Fleet as a footnote, the British do not trust the Japanese's integrity! As for the Americans? Not to mention, they will try every means to fan the flames within the British sphere of influence. To be honest, the British army has never stopped, from the Indian National Uprising and the Sultan Mah Uprising in the last century, the Afghanistan War, the Myanmar War and the Boer War! Britain, with vast colonies, has always been fighting against various independence movements! And if the navy did not guarantee the delivery of the army's troops, what would the result be? You can refer to the British army during the American Revolutionary War, where sea and land were cut off by the French and the Dutch, and Britain could only fail!

By the way, the Germans will not let Britain go! So what if the high seas fleet is destroyed? So what if Britain ends the war with the victory of the Battle of Trafalgar? The Germans are a mainland country. If the Americans support it, the so-called blockade will be difficult to work, and the Germans also have submarines as a weapon for blockade. The fleet is not the most important thing for countries like Germany. Therefore, the losses of the fleet are affordable.

What's even more terrifying is that Germany has too great development potential. A 1.5 million square kilometers of Germany occupies almost the richest area in Europe! It has a population of over 100 million! Such a Germany can once again establish a stronger high seas fleet. If the Germans are determined to fight the British to the end, how will you let the British, who are internal and external troubles face the challenges of the Germans in ten or twenty years? If a country like the United States and Japan just cuts its flesh with a blunt knife, then Germany's newly established high seas fleet is a sharp blade that is pressed on the British's neck! It may take your life at any time! I'll ask you if the British are afraid!

If such a thing really happens, the result will be obvious. The new empire will crazily tear the British Empire's colonial system to pieces! Then eat them one by one! And those originally independent free states may have to find a backer at that time, and a huge colonial empire will be wiped out in an instant! This is the so-called wall falling down and everyone pushing it! What caused all this was just a decisive battle between the large fleet and the high seas fleet! And it was a decisive battle regardless of winning or losing!

"This decision will put nearly 100,000 officers and soldiers of the High Seas Fleet into crisis, and the one that benefits the most is definitely not Germany, but other countries. This is a very irrational decision." Prince Mountbatten said with a pale face.

"But I think that it is the greatest benefit for the German Empire to be destroyed by the closest British Empire! Because we are already invincible on the European continent, and Britain, the powerful empire closest to us, has collapsed. The United States and us are separated by the Atlantic Ocean, and Japan is even further away. So, can I say that we have solved the war that has lasted for hundreds of years in Europe with a war?" Ruprecht said with a smile.

"This is just your personal assumption. France and Russia may be defeated, but they will never be conquered. The times are different! It is no longer an era where violence can solve all problems!" said Belfort.

"But at least, the British Empire is really over! The former Empire of Sun-Downset will gradually shrink back to the island before its rise, and then become a second-rate or even third-rate country! Our threat is much smaller after all." The prince said: "Okay, now I have finished what I want to say. If you just want to refute me, then this meeting can be over. You can also return to Britain and tell the British King and your parliament what I said. If you agree with me, then we can continue to discuss!"

Although the prince said this, he might not necessarily do so. It is not in Germany's interest to completely destroy Britain at this stage, because you have to consider the occurrence of a special situation. For example, if Britain really reaches a time when the empire cannot be maintained, what if Britain surrenders to the Americans... After all, there is a saying that "getting far and near"! Great powers that are far away are more likely to become friends, and even if great powers that are very close to each other can cooperate, they will also confront and guard against each other in their bones!

This is completely possible! Judging from the recent goals of the Americans, if the British are willing to cooperate with the United States, the US Navy can completely use the British base in Southeast Asia. At this time, the German Navy will not be so useful. To put it bluntly. If you do not consider historical and political factors, just from a military perspective, the possibility of the United States and Britain killing Japan is much greater than that of Germany! Because Germany can only provide navies, while the United Kingdom can provide all needs, including warships, logistics supplies and ports!

If we look at the long-term strategy, the cooperation between the United States and the United Kingdom is also very good. First of all, once the British accept their position as a second-rate country, they can help the Americans restrain Germany in Europe. The United States can only provide material and economic support to make the German navy feel like a thorn! The United States can also help the British maintain their colonies overseas! This is completely mutually beneficial. Before Germany falls, the Americans will definitely be happy to allow Britain to exist as a top second-rate country!
