Chapter 341

"You may not know that in the Royal Navy, we have always believed that you currently have 10 battleships. And such a fleet is simply more terrifying than the fifteen battleships of France or the Russians. They are agile, powerful, and all new ships! I have always wondered why the Mainz-class armored cruiser cannot be called a second-class battleship? Even a first-class battleship can be called. Do you think so?"

As an experienced Royal Navy officer, Fisher naturally would not relax his vigilance against the Germans just because of a few words from the prince. He even pointed out some of the little moves made by the prince in a rather obscure way. The content of these words may not be much malicious, but Fisher doesn't like others to fool himself with some ambiguous concepts!

"Well, this is just a conceptual question. It is not wise for us to argue over what a battleship equipped with 10-inch artillery is, but I think there is a question you should be clear about, whether in your eyes we have 6 battleships or 10 battleships, is there any difference for the Royal Navy?"

The British spoke a hint of hostility, which made the prince very unhappy, but the situation was stronger than that of the people, and Germany needed time to develop and prepare. It was inevitable to take the initiative to admit defeat at this time. What's more, the current fleet is indeed impossible to compare with the huge Royal Navy. However, necessary counterattacks are still needed.

"I think that instead of focusing on the German Navy trapped in the North Sea, the Royal Navy should pay more attention to the Russian Navy. The Russians are very sincere, and our return gifts are also full of sincerity." The prince said with a smile.

"Haha." Fisher smiled a little embarrassedly. He naturally knew exactly what the prince was talking about, that was the imagination picture of the Liurik 2 armored cruiser that had been stuck in the most conspicuous position in his office! Fisher still remembered the inexplicable surprise when he got this imagination picture!

"4 12-inch cannons, 8 10-inch cannons! A 17,000-ton warship! It can still run 20 knots?! Is this true or false?" The British intelligence capabilities were indeed powerful. Shortly after the Russian warships were first built, some rough data was sent to the desks of the British Navy's senior executives. At that time, Fisher was quite skeptical about the report, because the data above was too sarcastic to Chinese Studio!

This time, the Russians did not conceal it. They did not "define" Liurik 2 as an armored cruiser, but defined it as a fast battleship according to the German suggestions! This thing is really terrifying! If the British can still use our artillery to be larger than the opponent's caliber when facing warships such as Asama, so the opponent can't beat me to deceive myself, then the British division is really afraid when facing Liurik 2! This thing is the strongest and largest battleship in the world now!

After learning the news, the British expressed their dissatisfaction with the German government's sale of warships to Russia through diplomatic channels. Of course, this was useless... No one would be unable to get over money. And this time, when the prince mentioned this matter, Fisher began to think of more questions. For example, if the previous sale of Liurik 2 to Russia was due to economic factors, would there be a clear political tendency now?!

"What do you mean?" Fisher looked at the prince with a strange look, looking forward to his next sentence.

"To be honest, the power of the Asama level has become a thing of the past. The glory of the Sulu Sea Battle may not appear again. To be honest, I think the best relationship between Europe and Germany is Russia. He is hostile to your country, and the most important thing is that he has limited interest in Europe. Do you think?" The prince's smile was so terrifying to Fisher's eyes!

This is already very clear. At least from a linguistic analysis, Fisher can draw the conclusion that Germany is willing to support Russia's expansion in the Far East. The Russians focus on the Far East, so Europe is naturally overwhelmed. On the European continent, the Russians are silent. So who can still compete with the powerful Germany and Austria?

If these words come out of the words of the German Prime Minister, then you are not afraid, because the current Prime Minister has very limited influence, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the German Emperor's voice worm. However, if it is the words of the prince, it would be different, because this person's performance in recent years is so shocking, and he is of the kind who has ability, has ideas, does it when he thinks about it, and most of them can still succeed!

Fisher spent a lot of time studying the prince. He found that although this prince was inexplicably and even lacked consideration, it was done by all kinds of chances! When the German Emperor began to transfer the military factories and shipyards under the royal family to capitalists, the prince decided to do military industry by himself. Unexpectedly, in just a few years of hardened armor or rapid-fire cannons, it brought Bavaria's economic strength to a higher level.

The content behind is even more tantamount to the Chinese Studio! The random mixing made Japan pay a tragic price in the Qing and Japanese war, and then it made the United States and Russia cheat again! That's right, it was cheating the United States and Russia. Fisher's intuition told him that the prince actually hoped that the United States would lose to Japan in the Philippines! Because all this was a coincidence! Four warships were finally sent to the Japanese! Then they turned around and used them on the Americans...

In addition, the recent dispute between Germany and Portugal is said to be due to the prince's plan. So Fisher believes that this prince has the energy and rights second only to the German emperor among the top German leaders, and can easily influence Germany's political tendencies. If Germany and Russia really reach some understanding, it will undoubtedly be a very bad thing for Britain!

"What you said doesn't seem to have anything to do with me. You should say this to the British Ambassador to Berlin, so that your intentions may be easier to convey to the upper level of the empire," Fisher said.

"British Ambassador? He knows me, I don't know him! Besides, professional issues such as the navy naturally need to be discussed with professionals. Just three days ago, I received a telegram from China that the Russians had ordered the fourth Liurik-class 2 warship. The next loan from the Americans will be delivered to Russia soon, plus this time the French. Russia has enough funds to order two more ships. So I want to ask you now, how much additional cost will be required if Japan wants to win?"

The prince's smile was still bright, but it made Fisher shudder! The so-called threat naturally requires people to feel danger, so that this threat is useful. Since it is a naval matter, the prince will naturally tell Fisher who knows it because he understands it, he cares, he knows the importance. And this guy won't take long to go back to the Navy! It's great use! What's the relationship with the British ambassador if he doesn't have anything to do?
