Chapter 265: How can there be any rewards for not paying?

It seems that the Russian emperor really intends to talk to himself this time. However, considering that the Russian emperor and the Bavarian royal family were not in the same system, Nicholas II asked his cousin, the newly appointed Kaiser, to write a letter to himself, and the newly elected Kaiser Wilhelm II also couldn't save face. Nicky came all the way to attend his enthronement ceremony, and in the end he didn't even accept such a small request. It was a bit of a loss of face.

  But considering the bad things between Bavaria and Russia in recent years, William hesitated again. After all, you can't order Ruprecht over this kind of thing, can you? Even if they don't come, the emperor will not do anything. So I asked my younger brother to deliver the letter in person, and after a long time talking about it, it's you to give me some face!

  "This is an opportunity. The people who can make decisions in Russia are here. What can be the result of talking with those young people? Or it will be effective to talk directly with the Lord." The prince thought about it and decisively agreed to the request of the Russian emperor.

  In terms of status, the gap between Ruprecht and Nicholas II is huge. They are at the same level as the Kaiser, but he is at the emperor's grandson level, and his father has not yet ascended to the throne. But even so, Nicholas II did not dare to despise the prince from Bavaria before him.

"There are some misunderstandings between us, and these misunderstandings have brought us a lot of trouble at the same time." Nicholas II looked at the prince with his usual face and continued: "And if you and I can sit here, it is clear that we all I hope to end the trouble caused by this misunderstanding. Isn't it?"

"I have asked for trouble-solving. Many things cannot be explained by simple troublesome words. The trouble in your opinion is more like a disaster in my opinion, and the loss you cause should be compensated if If understanding can be exchanged for everything, then why do you need the law and the army?" The prince said calmly.

   "But Bavaria did not suffer this time. The real loss is that we and the Americans! The warships you built for Japan easily defeated my Far East and American fleets!" Nicholas II said angrily.

"But the cause of this incident lies in your country. You personally handed the war knife into the hands of others. Then you can only blame some people for their greed and malfeasance. In addition, I need to remind you that you You can completely treat this as a business. I will make an offer and you can bargain. If you can negotiate, then cooperate. If the negotiation fails, you will part ways. There is no need to say anything else." The prince was already a little impatient. Up. What Nicholas II said can only reveal his helplessness.

"The conditions you put forward are too high. This is blackmail. Even if we consider it only from the perspective of the dignity of the empire, we cannot accept this. If you think that a few warships can determine the situation in the Far East, you can only say that you are too I overestimated myself." Nicholas II sighed and started to talk business.

"We can build our own ships. We have established an advanced shipbuilding industrial system with the help of the French. Even if we can't build advanced warships like Russian-class armored cruisers, we can still crush our opponents with powerful production capacity. "

"Crush the opponent? That's good. How long does it take to build such a powerful fleet? When do you plan to start this war? You have never figured out what Russia lacks most now, and you don't know that Russia is the largest in the Far East. What is the weakness, if you don't even understand this, how can you defeat Japan?" His Royal Highness sneered.

  "The French can give you money, can help you design warships, can help you build shipyards. But the only one can't give you! And this only we can give!" The prince smiled mysteriously. "That's time! In the shortest possible time, build a fleet that is enough to maintain the balance of the Far East! The French are very slow to build warships for themselves, and the efficiency of your country's shipyards, I think you know very well. "

"The war will not start as you imagine. Before the completion of the Far East Railway, the Japanese will launch an offensive. What will Russia use to support the Far East army? The army cannot get enough supplies, and the navy is even more crushed by the Japanese. Fight. When the railway is repaired, I am afraid that the Far East will have changed."

"We can build a warship that is stronger than the Russians in two and a half years! We have enough berths to start construction of these warships, give us the money, and before the end of 1901, we can give the German Far East Fleet Equipped with 4 ships that can crush the existence of Russia!"

"These four new-style warships will determine the outcome of Russia's expansion in the Far East, and even determine Russia's national transport to some extent, so compared with all this, what is a mere 7 million pounds? The Japanese cost 4 million pounds. Won the Philippines. Couldn't Russia even get the 7 million pounds? If that's the case, you deserve it!" The prince's tone was rather pungent.

"Well, it seems that you still don't have a clear understanding of Russia's situation in the Far East. Looking at the overall situation, the Americans have lost sight of the Far East in a short time, and neither we nor the French will make any major moves. Then Japan, which has received the strong support of the United Kingdom, will take the initiative. The Japanese Navy relies on the excellent ports of the country to occupy the geographical advantage, and the originally weak Far East fleet is divided into Lushun and Vladivostok. Once the war begins, The Far East Fleet is divided. Naturally, the combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced."

"If I were the commander of the Japanese navy, I would first command the main fleet to conduct an inshore blockade of Lushun. Under the cover of the main fleet, mines and sunken ships would block the Lushun military port. Lushunkou is indeed a good defensive base. The warships in the port provide defense. But unfortunately, the channel of the entrance port is too narrow and the water depth is relatively limited. In this case, it is easy to be blocked."

"And after Lushun is blocked, then the movement of the Russian fleet will have a big problem. The Japanese can use limited forces to neutralize the Lushun fleet, and the remaining fleet can be deployed to deal with the challenges of Vladivostok. If Vladivostok is facing the challenge. If the squadron of Japan is strong enough, then it can still find a chance to comeback by defeating the Japanese squadron, and if the force is not enough, then the entire sea in the Far East will serve Japan."

"Japanese troops and supplies can continue to come to the mainland. Your country's supplies will have to be transported from Europe thousands of miles away by rail to the Far East. By the way, horse-drawn carriages may be used in some areas. Because the Japanese may not necessarily It will give Russia a chance to complete the railway."
