"Your Highness, you seem to be very happy recently." When Ruprecht stepped into the Palace of Worry again, he happened to meet the Navy Secretary Tirpitz. The latter said hello to the prince very friendly.

"Winning a game will eventually make people feel better." The prince said with a smile. As a close minister of the German Emperor, Tirpitz's natural way of what bets did his emperor and his majesty make with this ****.

"I'm also very happy recently. I feel relieved that being able to recognize the weak nature of the country next to me." Tirpitz said with a smile.

"Actually, judging from the situation at that time, General Makanov's response and disposal could be scored more than 8 points. Don't judge heroes by success or failure. There are not many people in this world who can do better than him." To be honest, the prince really didn't expect that Makanov could take away three Japanese main battleships, destroyers and torpedo boats with more than 2 fights. You should know that in history, there were a total of 700 casualties in Japan in the Battle of Ma Hai. This time, the Asama and its escort fleet killed more than 1,400 Japanese!

With such a huge difference in strength, it is not easy for Makanov to run away. This is different from the battle between the British and German fleets in the Jutland period. The Germans are not far from their base and have relatively strong strength. The Russians are different. First of all, they are always exhausted troops, not enough escort warships, and even have not enough coal and ammunition. The Japanese intercepted their way back from the beginning, and after the battle, they still have thousands of miles to go. This difficulty is hell!

The prince took good care of Tirpitz's face this time. In a slightly remote place, the prince answered the naval minister like this. Russia is very weak, but it is absolutely impossible to despise Russia. Moreover, even in World War 1, when the Russian Baltic fleet was almost in proportion to the high sea fleet, Russia's mine warfare and submarines still caused great trouble to the German navy.

"But our biggest enemy is the British, right?" Tirpitz sighed: "To be honest, the purpose of my construction of this fleet is not to defeat the British at sea, it is just a bargaining chip, a shock. I hope that the British will face up to the strength of the German navy and make concessions. But now it seems that the British choose to expand their troops to deal with the threat."

The news that a large number of warships in Germany started construction cannot be hidden from anyone. As a large number of warships were completed and launched and installed, the British quickly evaluated the scale of the new warships in Germany - about 4 to 5, but the specific model was uncertain. The British quickly made adjustments in shock. According to the German intelligence, the British Parliament passed a new naval expansion bill, and a new batch of warships will be built 6 to 8, which is almost twice the size of the German fleet estimated by the British.

The British did not hide their actions. They even told the Germans through diplomatic channels that in this new arms race, the British government would never retreat! "It is irrational to Germany try to have strong troops at sea, and it is even more ridiculous to use this method to threaten the British Empire. If your country builds a main ship, then the British Empire will build two. In terms of maintaining maritime rights, the British Empire will never retreat." The British envoy said to Tirpitz in a blunt manner.

Tirpitz knew that his plan had failed. To put it bluntly, the so-called risk fleet is a bluffing fleet. If the other party is afraid, then the natural goal is achieved. But if the other party is not afraid, then you have to "educate" the other party with facts. Unfortunately, facing the British Empire fleet, even Tirpitz did not have the confidence to defeat, and at the same time did not know how to defeat such an enemy! In the prince's opinion, Germany in one battle requires a fleet, but how to build this fleet, how to use it, and how to hit the British foot pain is the key!

"Do you feel a little confused now? You know the British plan, you know that the British will not retreat but there is no better way to deal with it, so you want to continue your fleet plan so that you can expect the British to surrender in the future? Are you betting right? You don't even know how confident you may win?" said His Highness ****.

"But you have no way to defeat the British, right? From this point of view, we have no difference." The Navy Secretary said tit-for-tat.

"The possibility of us destroying the British fleet on the front is very small, but it does not mean that we have no choice over the British's maritime power. The British can use fleets to restrict our use of the ocean, and we can also use submarines to deal with British merchant ships. War is aligned and integrated. You emphasize too much on the confrontation on the main fleet, while I focus on the fundamentals of maritime interests - the use of sea channels. This is our first difference. Submarine warfare is a brand new crisis, a crisis that has never happened before. I cannot guarantee whether it will be useful in the future, but when it first came out, its lethality was huge."

"As for the main fleet, we have different things. How do you say it? You are more like a politician, just considering the relationship between construction costs and quantity. What you care about is how to use limited funds to build a large fleet, without considering whether this fleet is suitable for fighting against the British, nor how to fight against it. It is impossible for us to defeat the British, and even say that it can be achieved in time, the high seas fleet will be fought all over. This ending of death is not good for both sides."

"My naval main fleet plans to settle three points. First, this fleet must be able to ensure the safety of the German coast. Second, this fleet can help us gain sea control over the Baltic coast and assist the army in combat. Third, this fleet can make the British afraid by attacking the large fleet. Your focus is to intimidate the British and give up, while my focus is to consume the British fleet through actual actions."

"By the way, I have to add one more thing. My fleet's strength can be very consistent with national strategy. In my plan, the navy assists the army in combat. Submarines force the British to not obtain enough resources. This is to help the army. The confrontation between fleets is to shake the British's determination to war, and this is to shake the British's determination to war. I have a complete and feasible plan, but you don't. You just saw the increase in the number of warships, without considering more important strategic issues." Ropresit **** believes that it is necessary to talk to the Navy minister before attending the meeting. He needs to make the other party consider the problem more realistic and comprehensive.
