"I know what you are thinking. You have unconsciously brought Britain and Germany into Russia and Japan. A mainland country is trying to expand its power at sea. This is the case for the Russians and the Germans. And a maritime country wants to project its influence on the mainland, this is the case for the British and the Japanese. So, you hope that the Russians can win from the bottom of your heart! In addition to continuing to let the Russians focus on the Far East and share the pressure from Germany, you also want to prove that their theory is correct and prove that Germany's future is full of hope? Is that true? You probably have heard what I said to Moltke? And you came to Bavaria thousands of miles to tell me that you were wrong, right? Is that true?" Prince Ruprecht's words were already a little sharp.

"I didn't mean to offend you, I just talk about the matter." Tirpitz retreated, a little afraid of the prince in front of him.

"Okay, I can tell you responsibly that the Russians will lose this time, whether it is sea or land! They will face complete defeat at sea, and on land must also give in! If you don't believe it, I can make a bet with you. As for the bet? What is the future naval construction plan and development direction?" said the prince.

"You must be joking, right?" Tirpitz said in a little frightened manner. He couldn't figure out whether the prince was serious or joking, or both?

"It's boring, there's no responsibility at all." A trace of disdain appeared in the prince's eyes. "I can tell you responsibly, of course, you can also tell the German emperor what I said today. What I said is still reserved. I can only say that the whole of Germany is too confident in itself! And we don't have much time left. After the Russian-Japanese war is over, the next war will break out in Europe. This is a war that determines the fate of the world. The losers will fall into the abyss!"

"From the current situation, I don't think you will do better than me. Little Moltke has admitted it. So what about you now? Tirpitz? Are you willing to make this bet with me?" the prince said sternly.

"What you said is a bit..." A drop of cold sweat flowed down Tirpitt's forehead. If it was not Prince Ruprecht sitting opposite him, but someone else's words, or even Prince Heinrich's words, he would dare to jump up and refute. But only when facing this prince, he did not dare, not only because he was the heir of the second largest kingdom of the German Empire, but also because he was far-sighted! History has proved the correctness of what the prince said again and again! Tirpitt, who was originally full of confidence, was a little shaken.

"Okay, I don't like to have verbal disputes with people because it's a waste of time and meaningless behavior. What's more, these boring arguments with you are useless, and you can't give me what I want." The prince waved his hand and said. "I will write a letter today and you will bring it to the German Emperor. The content in the letter is very simple. I ask it to guess, just guess what method the Japanese will use to defeat Russia and the outcome of some key battles. This is a game, but it's a little larger. I will ask the German Emperor for the first prize of this victory!"

"I really didn't expect things to be like this. Everything about hanging with this prince is so unreasonable!" Tirpitz didn't expect these things to happen in Bavaria once. Tirpitz admitted that he had indeed brought the two sides of the Russo-Japanese War into England and Germany, and he really wanted to prove that Germany, as a mainland country, had the necessary and capable of moving towards the ocean at this point in time. He even wanted to prove that a powerful mainland country had a huge strategic advantage over the ocean countries when it had a fleet, but now..."

"Forget it, I won't say much, I'd better be a messenger." Tirpitz said with a little discouraged. He must send the prince's handwritten letter! Tirpitz felt that he had been in trouble recently. First, the recent British spy case made him feel overwhelmed, and then he lost his battle for military expenses with Moltke. The German Emperor has made it clear that the original naval expansion plan must be modified, at least one main ship can be cut off to free up military expenses to improve army equipment. Now, he has been scolded again when he came to Bavaria... He ran thousands of miles to find a scolding?

"Ruprecht, are you really that optimistic about Japan?" Tirpitz was scolded and then flashed in shame. However, there are many people who have similar ideas to Tirpitz, such as his wife, His Highness Mary****.

"A country that has been corrupt and old, although it is huge, has to fight against an emerging country thousands of miles away in the unfavorable international situation. What an unwise thing. The whole world hopes that the Russians will lose. This is the case with the British and the French. We are for money, and the Americans are for Russia to be cannon fodder. Tell me, how can Russia win?" the prince asked. "And the German emperor also hopes to use this war to consume the Russians' strength. It is true that we are bystanders in this war, but we still need to take action! According to my plan, within 8 years after the end of this war, we will have to break up with all our opponents! Otherwise, we will have no chance!"

"Dear, are you serious?" Princess Mary said in surprise.

"When did I joke about these things?" the prince asked back. "I even think that 8 years have been a bit too long. I want to shorten the war's outbreak to less than 6 years. This time point is when our strongest and our opponents are the weakest. If the Russians are given enough time, the gap between us and them will become smaller and smaller! After the alliance between Britain and France, their cooperation will become smoother and smoother. So we must seize this opportunity, which is also the reason why I ask the German Emperor for power!"

"Actually, compared to Germany, what I am more worried about is the Austro-Hungarian Empire. To be honest, the Austro-Hungarian Empire is really not a good ally. Until now, they are still ignorant of the arrival of the war. They fantasize about relying on the German Empire to solve all problems, but they do not know that it is the worst that they cannot see their own strength and hand over their destiny to other countries!" When they think of the recent cooperation with the Austrian Emperor, the prince was a little angry. Hungary's inaction and Austria's inefficiency made the prince see it in his eyes and anxious in his heart!

"So, this country needs to be changed. A brand new country will be reborn in the ashes." Princess Mary was not dissatisfied, because as the princess of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, she knew better than the prince what the Austro-Hungarian Empire looked like. The result was certain. What he really cared about was what kind of country she and his husband would have in the future.
