"As for it? Isn't it just an armored cruiser launched? This scale is as high as the King of Saxony's throne ceremony?" said the crosser and his tramping group on the way to the shipyard, looking at the decorations outside with their lights and busy people.

"The key is not this ship, but the meeting of the princes of the two major German and Russian powers. The political significance is far greater than this launch ceremony. Of course, your visit also adds a lot of color to this ceremony." Earl Schelling said.

"I heard that the Russian Crown Prince was riding on a new armored cruiser that they had just served not long ago? If I remember correctly, it should be called Nashimonov, right?" The time traveler was not interested in the topic of pomp, but he was very interested in the navy!

"Yes, although the Russian Crown Prince's escort fleet is not as large as last year's, it is of good quality. This armored cruiser has a displacement of more than 8,000 tons and is equipped with 8 8-inch cannons and 10 6-inch cannons." Earl Schelling said.

"Well, I'll get on the ferry later, let's go up and take a look!" The Crossover was still very interested in this cruiser that sank in the sea and sea battle. After all, this warship was the most powerful cruiser before Russia was in service with the Lurik, and its cross gun was indeed good. As long as the main gun terraces on both sides were staggered, it would be more in line with the Crossover's aesthetic.

"Okay, as you wish." The protagonist of this ceremony was naturally two princes. Although his master was important, he was just a foil. Relatively speaking, there was not so much trouble. It is okay to arrange it to satisfy the prince's curiosity.

Although it took so long to travel, this is the first time that the time traveler has observed the completed warship of this era at close range... I carefully compared the pictures I had seen in my mind. Although the sailing suits covered with the entire deck revealed a strong rustic atmosphere, the huge hull, dense cannons and extended corners still make people feel excited.

The ferry was only 700 meters away from the Russian fleet. However, because the ship welcomed the bosses of both sides and hung the German and Russian flags at the same time, it did not arouse the reaction of the Russian fleet. What the travelers did not expect was that there were not only Germans, but also Russians on the ship! Some of them were celebrities!

"What else do those people do?" Makanov, sitting in a corner of the ferry, said, pointing at Prince Ruprecht and his group in the distance. His tone was full of dissatisfaction. With his experience, he knew that the other party was observing the Russian fleet that was close to him, among which the latest Russian armored cruiser was the top priority. The sense of responsibility of a navy general made him feel very uneasy, even angry. Just as he stood up and was about to walk over, a person next to him immediately pulled him.

"Mr. Major General, pay attention to your words and deeds. They are just curious." Alexeko Kuropatkin grabbed the somewhat reckless Major General.

"The other party is the eldest grandson of Bavaria's royal family, the future Bavarian king. It's very rude to go up like this now. And it may put His Highness in an embarrassing situation." The infantry Lieutenant General explained carefully.

"But they are..." Before Major General Makanov finished speaking, he saw Kuropatkin shook his head: "They were just looking, and judging from their faces, they were only interested in our warship and might not be able to see it."

"That can't be like this either." Makanov had no choice, because his little concern was obviously not suitable to collide with a future king, and it also conflicted with the tone of the meeting between the two sides. If he did this, the Russian crown prince would not allow it!

"It's time for our canary to appear. I think if it were a beautiful lady, the prince wouldn't have had an extreme reaction. At least he wouldn't continue to focus on the navy's warship." Kulopatkin looked at a girl sitting not far away and said meaningfully.

At this time, the time traveler was still unaware of what was happening next to him. After a brief curiosity, he began to despise this warship from the bottom of his heart, without rapid-fire cannons, terrace-style turrets, too low armor belts, overweight, short and thick ship shapes... His eyes were full of contempt. 8,500 tons tonnage, and finally he created this thing. If he gave it to me... the time traveler was trapped in yy.

"What are you looking at?" A slightly trembling voice came from beside him.

"Well. Nashimonov." The traveler said subconsciously, then set his sights on another cruiser behind Nashimonov.

"What do you think of it?" Earl Ajielina, who was assigned by Kuropatkin to change the subject, seemed to be unaware of her existence, and only one count next to her looked at her and the Russian officer next to her with some suspicion.

"Not a good thing, the product of a completely outdated subsystem. If my subordinates designed this kind of warship, I would immediately let him get out. The simple terrace cannon made this warship have a huge number of main guns but no output. The sub-cannon lacks defense. The most unbearable thing is that the speed of the warship is too slow. It is difficult for me to understand whether such speed can be called a cruiser..." I thought it was a colleague who asked himself that under the influence of the crosser's arrogant heart, Prince Ruprecht had completely entered the state and began to play the role of Baron Vittorio...

"Your Highness, I think it is not appropriate for you to discuss this kind of thing with such a beautiful lady." Earl Schelling, who couldn't stand it, immediately walked up and said. Then he looked at the two Russian generals nesting in the corner and showed strong dissatisfaction.

"Hmm?!" The time traveler who realized something was wrong turned his head and looked over. A tall figure in a long skirt was standing seven or eight steps away from him. Facing the circle of servants next to him, the girl might be nervous, even a little scared, and her body trembled slightly.

"What's going on?" The time traveler looked at Count Schelling beside him.

"There are two Russians who have some opinions about what you have done, but they dare not raise it directly, so they let this poor lady divert your attention." Earl Schelling said with his eyes to Makanov and Kulopatkin hiding in the corner.

"What did I say just now?" The time traveler's face turned pale.

"Some things that are not suitable for saying to beautiful women." Earl Schelling was also speechless. His master was a little confused! He actually commented on a warship with a beauty! The Baron would not be like this here!

"Sorry, I'm a little out of my composure, I don't care about your business." As Kulopatkin expected, the time traveler is indeed inconvenient to get angry at a young noble woman.

Ruprecht walked over and comforted him. "Not to say, the quality of Russian beauties is really good." There seemed to be another trace of tears on his pretty white face, and his long golden hair was wrapped around his head. His slightly three-dimensional face and delicate facial features were fascinating. Coupled with his weak and crisp voice, the time traveler had to admit that this girl was really beautiful.

"You can speak German?" the time traveler asked in embarrassment.

"My mother is from Germany and I was born in Kiev." Ajielina whispered.

"There are many beauties in Ukraine, and the ancients did not deceive me!" The time traveler sighed in his heart.

The time traveler was very depressed. Not only because the people around him had some weird or even surprised eyes, but more importantly, the time traveler sounded a "multiple choice" before the time traveler. Do you want a girlfriend or to lol? Well, now when chatting with the beautiful woman or continuing to observe the Russian fleet, the time traveler's subconscious mind has made a choice for him for many years! The prince himself despises himself. There is this beautiful girl standing beside him. You actually discuss the warship with her? It's unreasonable!

The time traveler is very angry. The girl is innocent, so now His Highness the Prince must find the culprit who embarrasses him, and at least find the scapegoat. And lying in the corner of the cabin, lowering his head to drink coffee, and making a two Russian general who I don’t know anything has become the target of His Highness the Prince’s venting.

"I'll go! Another one is from the navy? Vittorio said that the Russian naval officer visited the Mainz armored cruiser two days ago. Do you see that my ship is not more careful than I do? Now I have the attitude to say that I am?" The time traveler was very upset and immediately turned his thoughts into actions.

"Two gentlemen, you can say something to yourself without instigating an innocent girl. Do you have no courage and responsibility?" The time traveler walked over and said mercilessly.

"Your Highness, what you did just now..." Makanov explained with a red face.

"If you have any opinions, I will say it!" The traveler frowned: "If I had what I did just now, I can ask His Highness Nicholas II if there is any of His Excellency in the Russian Navy delegation visiting the armored cruiser of the Mainz. If so, I will protest to His Highness the Crown Prince! Because his actions endanger the security of Germany."

"Sorry, everything is our fault. On behalf of my friend, I apologize to you, the respected Bavarian prince." Kulopatkin immediately stood up and said, and pressed Makanov, who was still trying to defend himself. At this time, the situation was stronger than others. Talking less, and admitting his timidity is done! Waiting for the boat to lean on the shore, let's go their own way? If you insist on going on, you must be at a disadvantage! The other party's actions cannot be considered wrong, but to some extent, what they did was a bit offensive.

"Your Highness, the ceremony is about to begin." Earl Schelling next to him reminded.

"Is this person a little familiar?" The moment the time traveler who had vented, he suddenly felt that the guy in the Admiral's uniform looked like someone... Forget it, don't worry, it's important to be busy with the important things first!
