Chapter 29: The hero sees the same
Everyone is a nobleman, and noblemen have to be decent. It's not good to talk about the exchange of benefits when you meet! After Herbert Bismarck sent Prince Ruprecht to the Prime Minister's study, he turned and left. Faced with the empire’s number one power official, the young crown prince is not nervous, not only because he understands Bismarck in history, but also from a sense of superiority of royal family members. As long as Germany does not fall, even the powerful and powerful will not be able to compete with the royal family. In comparison, as Bismarck said, the prime minister's son is not necessarily the prime minister, but the heir to the royal family must be the king!
"First of all, let me congratulate the Bavarian royal family for producing a capable industrialist and taking a considerable piece of the empire's cake. In the future, I hope that the new stars of the Bavarian royal family will be even more dazzling." After a brief greeting, the Prime Minister The adult's opening remarks showed a hint of kindness.
"The man at the helm of the German Empire, on behalf of the Wittelsbach family, I would like to extend my sincere greetings to you. I hope you can continue to guide German ships to the other side of national rejuvenation in the future!" Flattering, who can do it, His Royal Highness The words made the Prime Minister very happy.
"Thank you very much for your support for the construction of the Imperial Navy. The armor and design of the Kingdom are very important to the Empire. In the next three years, the Empire will build 6 to 7 armored cruisers. I hope you can do this well." Bismarck's face was still smiling.
"It turned out to be what I meant." The crown prince, who has been in the royal family for 10 years and has a professional diplomatic rhetoric of at least level 6, quickly picked out the essence of the prime minister's words-the imperial navy will not have any major achievements in the next three years. The ship is planned, and the profit of armor and design is so small.
"From the perspective of a businessman, we can't just focus on one area. We know the situation of the empire very well, and the pressure on the navy is very small. There really is no need for the empire to expand its army faster. In other countries, there are always some countries in the world that need to build warships, and the construction of warships requires armored steel and design." Ruprecht's answer made the Prime Minister very relieved. First of all, the crown prince and the family behind him agreed to continue to maintain the original The agreement remains unchanged. At the same time, the crown prince told the other party that his goal is the sea of stars and the German market is only part of it.
"Russia is our ally, the two-headed eagle turned to the east, from the perspective of friends, we should help them." The Prime Minister said thoughtfully.
"But this will arouse dissatisfaction with Britain. At present, only Britain and his far-ASEAN friends can stop the Russian bear in the whole world." The crown prince said.
"An ally of the Far East? Japan should not be considered an ally now, but just a pawn." The Prime Minister said disapprovingly.
"This is a race of time. The Russians have to accumulate strength. The Japanese still have a chance to rise. If Japan tears a piece of rotten flesh from a decadent empire, then with the support of the British shipyards and financial system There is still a chance to defeat Russia."
"The British like to fight proxy wars, don't they? Whether it's the Napoleonic era supporting the Spanish government against the French army, or now." The crown prince said with a smile.
"The British prefer to be arbiters. They get rid of the complicated and complicated relations of the European continent, and use balance and neutrality as a guise to profit from it. This time the British hunting ground has been changed to the Far East." The Prime Minister nodded in agreement and said yes. The lack of knowledge of the crown prince should be corrected.
"The French should be on the side of Russia, should we also be on the side of Russia?" the crown prince asked tentatively.
"Talk about the reason."
“Russian Eastern Consultation has benefited us too much. At least Austria-Hungary and Russia will exercise restraint in the Balkans, and France will be at a disadvantage if it is unable to gain support from Russia. In order to curb Russia’s expansion in the Far East, Britain will have to ask us for it. The environment will be very good, and will become the backbone of coordinating the various major powers! Russian orders can meet our industrial needs, while the British will make adjustments in colonies and spheres of influence. Therefore, in order to avoid Russia’s worries, I think we should Support them." The crown prince replied.
"The heroes see the same thing! I really hope that Russia can win in the Far East, so in a few decades, Germany will be very safe." The Prime Minister's words revealed a tone of appreciation.
"But you know that Russia can't win, otherwise you would not use the word hope. On the local battlefield, Russia is not dominant, and there will be the support of the world's most powerful empire in the future. We and France have influence in the Far East The force is too small," the crown prince said.
"So, are you not interested in expanding the influence of the empire in the Far East? His Royal Highness has not mentioned this matter?" The Prime Minister said curiously.
"The Far East is too far away from us. Although it is very rich, it is difficult to control. The British, Russians, Japanese, and the Americans in the near future. They either have geographical advantages, or they are a world-wide empire or later period. The industrial hegemon of Germany. It is not wise for Germany to die with them in such a remote place. We only need economic interests and the colonies need to be cautious." The Crown Prince’s answer satisfied the Prime Minister.
"You can see more clearly than many people, but in reality, wise men are a minority after all. They will always be swayed by people around ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and do some very dangerous things." The prime minister pointed out. Yourself. "The imperial society fell into a kind of morbid enthusiasm under the instigation of some people. They wanted to rely on the German sword to open up more colonies. They were too confident that they thought everything could be solved with fire and sword. Too many powerful nations ultimately fell on their confidence in military force."
“The government’s kind guidance is needed, and the people learn to think about problems rather than follow the crowd. In fact, the colonies owned by the empire have already diverted a considerable part of the capital in the country. But most people feel that this process is too slow and they are not willing to go Build and harvest, they just want to harvest directly.” The crown prince thought for a while and said.
"The empire should be more flexible in its colonial policy. It is not good to be too simple and rude."
"You can talk about your views in detail. I can find a way to solve the funding problem, but the personnel problem may be difficult to solve. No one wants to go to remote and desolate Africa, and the security problems of these personnel in Africa are more serious, you know Yes, the empire has just suppressed the Bantu and Arab uprisings.” The Prime Minister asked the question.
"This aspect requires the guidance and support of the government, and on the other hand, the support of those large companies. Some capitalists have realized that the flow of a large amount of German human resources to the United States is a disadvantage, but because of the nature of profit-seeking, they do not There is no plan to change this situation. The money saved in the construction of the empire’s navy can be used in these areas. Believe me, in a few years, our colonies in Africa will become a land of gold and silver flowing.” The crown prince said sincerely.
"But before that, we must correct some wrong behaviors!"
