"After spending the quiet and stable 1893, the turbulent 1894 is about to begin!" When the first day of 1894 was approaching, the time traveler couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The days of making money were about to end, and from now on to 1898, it was turbulent! As a time traveler, can you be worthy of yourself if you don't mess with me?

"Your Highness, the garment of the admiral sent from Berlin, and the letter from Prince William." A servant walked up and whispered.

"Well, let it go." Although he was just a honorary admiral, he greatly satisfied the vanity of the time traveler. In history, the royal families of European countries had the privilege of obtaining honorary titles and the right to be awarded honorary titles. For example, William II had many military ranks granted by the British royal family. During the war, the German royal family also awarded the Ottoman Turkish Empire Sultan the title of Imperial Marshal.

The honorary rank of this admiral was specially awarded by the German royal family to thank the time travelers for their "excellent contributions" to the German Navy. Although one rank and several sets of clothes were useless, it paved the way for another plan of the time travelers.

"It's done!" Putting the dress aside, the time traveler took apart the letter and swept it roughly, with a satisfied smile on his face. The content on the letter is very simple. Prince Ruprecht can participate in the German Navy's global voyage! The time traveler was as an admiral!

1894! The entire Far East was in turmoil. According to the understanding agreement reached between Germany and Russia, the German government needed to show its strength in the Far East to ensure the interests of the Far East. Moreover, six armored cruisers have not yet been in formations after they were put into service. Germany also has islands in the Pacific, so this time the German Navy plans to withdraw 4 Munich-class armored cruisers and 2 supply ships to form an ocean formation for a global navigation!

The destination this time is not only the Far East, but also the United States, Africa and South America! The fleet will begin to be divided into two groups. One of them will set off from the North Sea, pass through the North Atlantic Ocean, then sail along the west coast of Africa, and finally bypass the Horn of Africa into the Indian Ocean. The other fleet will enter the Mediterranean Sea, visit Spain, Italy and Austro-Hungarian Empire, and then enter the Indian Ocean through the Suez Canal. After the two fleets merge, they will enter the Far East together, visit Singapore, and Hong Kong, and go north to visit and replenish the Qing coastal ports.

Among them, in order to show respect for old customers and support for the Qing Dynasty, the armored cruiser of Mainz will visit the Lushun military port in Beiyang. The fleet will then visit Vladivostok in northern Shanghai and visit the Russian Far East Fleet.

After leaving Asia, the fleet crossed the Pacific Ocean and entered the west coast of the United States. Visiting the United States is also a certain degree of shock. The fleet will also go south along the west coast of the United States. Bypass the Strait of Magellan and then head north to visit Argentina and Brazil. However, the crossers in these two places cannot go because the crossers will conduct a state visit to the United States with government representatives. When the German fleet arrives on the east coast of the United States, they will leave by boat.

There are three main purposes for the Time Traveler this time. The first is naturally to look at his homeland. It may be very difficult to change history. His reputation as an general is useless. The second is to go to the United States. In addition to diplomatic visits, the Time Traveler also wants to poach someone! The third is to establish good relations with the future naval senior management. The people who participated in this long voyage are amazing!

Major General Tirpitz served as the commander of the fleet. The captain of the Mainz armored cruiser was von Ingnol. The commander of the German fleet after the war began in history. The gunner was Earl Spee. Hippel also served in the fleet. Because of the Bavarian relationship, the time traveler specially made him his adjutant... When he thought that such a person was actually his younger brother, the time traveler was very proud! By the way, there was another person, that is William's younger brother, Prince Heinrich. In history, he was the commander of a German squadron at the beginning of the World War 1. This time he also came out with the rank of colonel, but his rank was real!

In order to cooperate with the Germans' operations, the Russian Navy will also send the Hero of the Azov cruiser to sail with the German fleet and sailed to Vladivostok with the German fleet! The political significance of this is already very obvious! Germany and Russia have common interests in the Far East, and their attitudes are consistent!

What surprised the time travelers even more was that this time France also wanted the two countries to show goodwill, saying that the Russian and German fleets could dock in French Indochina and get supplies! This was unexpected by the time travelers. I don’t know if it was the Russians doing diplomatic work in place, or the French also felt that a newly emerging country might threaten France’s interests in the Qing Dynasty!

On March 5, 1894, Prince Ruprecht finally boarded the deck of the Mainz armored cruiser. Four armored cruisers and two supply ships lined up in the port of Kiel. As the fleet flagship, the USS Munich armored cruiser and also the fleet commander Major General Tirpitz. The second is the Mainz armored cruiser, which is the traverser's ship. The third is the Armored cruiser, which is the traverser's ship. The fourth armored cruiser, which is the traverser's ship. The fourth armored cruiser, which is the traversing ship of Prince Heinrich. The fourth ship will walk around Africa with a supply ship, and after joining the Russian fleet, the other three armored cruisers and a supply ship will go directly to the Mediterranean and cross the Suez Canal to enter the Indian Ocean.

The German Navy's high-profile dispatch naturally attracted practical attention, especially when the Russians expressed their willingness to go together, and even France, as their old enemy, expressed some kindness, this signal could be described as shocking the world! Italy and Austro-Hungary are friends. The entire European continent seems to have formed a consensus on one issue. This puts the British feeling extremely stressed!

"What exactly do they want to do?" British Prime Minister Saltzpoli said irritably after receiving the news. Supporting Japan to defeat the Qing Dynasty and then resisting Russia's eastward expansion is the established national policy of Britain and an important link in whether Britain can maintain global hegemony. Russia seems to have noticed this, and they are almost confused about all the powerful European countries showing their strength in the Far East.

"The power of Russia, Germany and France in the Far East will seriously affect the direction of this war. Japan will definitely attack the Qing Dynasty this year. At this time, the German-Russian fleet has arrived in the Far East! It is difficult for me to understand what the Germans' purpose is?" Chamberlain said with a pale face.

"The Germans only appeared in a sensitive period of time. They were not interested in the Far East. This fleet would not stay in the Far East for a long time. Then they would complete the first global navigation of the German Navy's large fleet. We have communicated with the German Prime Minister about the relevant situation. Bismarck said that Germany just wanted not to harm its own interests and would not directly intervene in this war."

The Prime Minister doesn't think the Germans will search the guys themselves. What he is worried about is what Germany will do after the war! After all, winning the battle does not mean everything!
