Vienna, Austria.

"Ruprecht seems to be very busy lately." Emperor Ao said casually.

"It seems that except for Princess Mary who can meet with the prince for an hour a day, the prince has been in contact with the German military officers and ambassadors in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It seems that they are going to make some big moves recently."

"I'm really curious now. What exactly can Ruprecht do? The Germans have said they will not directly intervene in the war between Italy and Turkey. Why do he still do this?"

"Although Germany finally decided to sell the Prince Albert armored cruiser to the Turks by loan, the Italians launched an early attack and blocked the ******* Strait. The Germans gave Turkey the largest ace, which the Germans gave Turkey, was useless. Will the German fleet escort the warship to Türkiye? This is simply impossible." Emperor Ao sneered.

"Maybe the prince can do it through other channels? This matter will be announced soon, let's wait and see." Earl Taff said.

In the German Embassy not far from the Oshu Palace, the prince is making final preparations for the entire fleet's breakthrough plan. This time, it was done in detail. How to get a large 10,000-ton cruiser to reach the Dardanelles under the noses of the Italians? This is not the largest operation of the German Navy, but it is definitely the most test of IQ!

"How are our K fleet ready?" asked the prince.

"The project volume is a bit large, and it is almost time to demolish all the superstructures of a ship. Although we tried our best to keep it, it still takes 5 days to complete it." said the naval representative next to him.

"What about Fleet A? Have the materials and docks prepared for them been prepared? When will it be completed?" the prince asked again.

"Don't worry, the place we chose is very remote and has been checked around. Not to mention Italian spies, foreigners will not have them. The buildings around which can see the situation inside the port are all from the Navy, and the ship will stay in the port for 3 days! The remaining auxiliary work will be completed at sea." The naval representative guaranteed.

"Has the timetable, communication and coordination completed?" the prince asked again.

"No problem, we have all been deployed in the Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean, the Adriatic and the Aegean Sea. But I can't figure it out, if we don't let the Austro-Hungarian Empire cooperate with our actions in the Adriatic Sea?

"Because I am worried that the Italians would know about this before the ship of the Austro-Hungarian Empire left the port!" The prince did not dare to expect the confidentiality of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and was even very dissatisfied with the confidentiality of the Axis powers in history. Not only did the Russians seize the German password book and then used a war, but the effects of other password communications and confidentiality were also very dissatisfied. In the middle and late stages, the German radio communications and passwords were not difficult for Britain and France...

Therefore, the prince can only take the most primitive and effective method. First, narrow the scope of people who can know this. Second, try to avoid the public's eyeliner and arrange more bait to confuse the other party's attention!

"So good, the last question, when will our voyage in the Atlantic Ocean begin?" asked the prince.

"Tomorrow, the Imperial Foreign Ministry will issue a statement, and then Admiral Tirpitz will arrive at Keel Harbor at 10 a.m. to see off the fleet. The fleet will be led by Earl Spee." The other party replied.

"That means everything is ready. I just have to wait for news of success or failure. Is that true?" The prince smiled slightly and said with relief.

"That's right, you can now devote yourself to your wedding preparations. The Imperial Navy will never let you down and will give you a generous gift on the day of your wedding!" said the navy representative respectfully.

"I look forward to your generous gift!" the prince said confidently.

"Ruprecht, are you really going to fight against Italy to the end?" After dealing with these things, the prince came to the palace where he was staying and met Princess Mary who was waiting here. The latter's eyes were filled with anxiety and unwillingness. She also wanted to persuade her father to help the prince, but the former never let go and even warned her not to interfere in government affairs, which made His Highness the Princess very worried.

"Of course. Don't worry, Italy will lose a bad loss this time." The prince comforted.

"I have met my father and hope he can help us..." Princess Mary said with a gloomy face.

"But your father doesn't agree. Is that true? I said a long time ago that no one else can rely on. I am the only one you can rely on. I also trust you completely and will help you achieve your goals!" This was the first time Ruprecht had agreed to Princess Mary's request positively. As for what the so-called goal is, His Highness, naturally, knows it. And the prince's promise made the princess's depression disappear!

"Okay, do something useful. If you really want to help me, let your people start to tamper with the financial and food markets in Italy. Our war with Italy is not just at sea!"

"The financial market will be easier. After all, money has no borders, but hoarding food may take some time and enough manpower." Princess Mary thought for a while and said.

"I have arranged the manpower and funds. Don't you want to be the queen? This time I want to see how much you can do to train your future throne. A king who can't use methods is unqualified." The prince gently pulled Princess Mary's hand and kissed the back of her hand.

"Ruprecht, don't you worry that one day you are the king and I am the emperor?" Princess Mary chuckled.

"There is no way, who made you my wife, and I believe in my own abilities! Okay, let's not talk about these annoying things." Ruprecht kissed after saying that.

The next day, when the prince took his fiancée to visit Emperor Ao, the German Foreign Ministry issued a statement that the German high seas fleet would conduct a routine cruise. During this period, led by Caesar Frederick III, a fleet of two battleships and two cruisers would go to the Atlantic Ocean and then bypass the Strait of Magellan to enter the Pacific Ocean. Of course, due to the increasingly tense situation in the Mediterranean, in order to ensure Germany's maritime interests, the German fleet might take a trip to the Mediterranean.
