Chapter 341: Infighting

"You may not know that in the Royal Navy, we always think that you currently have 10 battleships. And such a fleet is simply more terrifying than the 15 French or Russian battleships. They are agile, powerful, and all new. Ship! I have always wondered why the Mainz-class armored cruiser can’t be called a second-class battleship? It can even be called a first-class battleship. Do you think it?"

As a sophisticated Royal Navy officer, Fisher naturally would not relax his vigilance against the Germans just because the prince said a few words. He even pointed out some small actions made by the prince rather obscurely. The content of these words is not necessarily malicious, it's just that Fisher does not like others to fool himself with some ambiguous concepts!

"Well, this is just a conceptual issue. It is not wise for us to argue over what a battleship equipped with 10-inch guns is, but I think there is a question that you should be clear about, no matter in your eyes we have 6 battleships. Or 10 battleships, is there a difference for the Royal Navy?"

There was a hint of hostility in the British words, which made the prince very upset, but the situation is stronger than the others. Germany needs time to develop and prepare. At this time, it is inevitable to take the initiative to recognize it. What's more, the current fleet is indeed unable to be huge. Compared to the Royal Navy. But the necessary counterattack is still needed.

"I think the Royal Navy should pay more attention to the Russian Navy instead of focusing on the German navy that is trapped in the North Sea. The Russians are very sincere, and our return is also full of sincerity." The prince said with a smile.

"Haha." Fisher smiled embarrassingly. Naturally, he knew exactly what the prince was talking about, that is, the image of the Rurik 2 armored cruiser that has been posted on the most prominent position in his office! Fisher still remembered how surprised he was when he got this imaginary picture!

"Four 12-inch guns, 8 10-inch guns! A 17,000-ton battleship! It can still run 20 knots?! Is this true?" The British intelligence capabilities are really strong, and the Russian battleship has just begun construction. Soon after, some general data were sent to the desks of the British navy executives. At that time, Fisher was quite skeptical of this report, because the data above was too much!

This time the Russians did not hide it. They did not "define" Rurik 2 as an armored cruiser, but defined it as a fast battleship according to the Germans' suggestion! This thing is horrible! If the British can still deceive themselves with our artillery when facing Asama and other warships, so the opponent can't beat me to deceive themselves, then facing Rurik 2, the British division is really scared! This thing is now the strongest and largest warship in the world!

After learning of this news, the British once expressed through diplomatic channels the British Empire’s dissatisfaction with the German government’s sale of warships to Russia. Of course, this was useless... No one will have trouble with money. And this time, when the prince mentioned it again, Fisher started thinking about more questions. For example, if the previous sale of Rurik 2 to Russia was due to economic factors, will there be a clear political orientation now? !

"What do you mean?" Fisher looked at the prince weirdly. Looking forward to his following.

"Just tell the truth, the strength of the shallow level has become the past. I am afraid that the glory of the Sulu Sea battle will not appear again. To be honest, I think that the great power in Europe that has the best relations with Germany is Russia. The country is hostile, and the most important thing is that he has limited interest in Europe, don't you think?" The smiling face of the prince looked terrifying to Fisher!

This has been said very clearly. At least from the language analysis, Fisher can draw the conclusion that Germany is willing to support Russia’s expansion in the Far East. The Russians put their energy in the Far East, so Europe will naturally be overwhelmed. On the European continent, the Russians are silent, so who can compete with the powerful German and Austrian?

If this is said from the German Prime Minister, then I am not afraid, because the current Prime Minister’s influence is very limited. It is not too much to say that it is an echo bug of the German Emperor, but it would be different if it was said by the prince. It's because this person's performance over the past few years is so shocking, he belongs to the kind who is capable, has an idea, works as soon as he thinks of it, and most of it can be done!

Fisher once spent a lot of time studying the prince, and he found that although the prince did something inexplicable and even ill-considered, it was done by various coincidences! When the German emperor began to transfer the military factories and shipyards under the royal family to the capitalists, the prince decided to engage in military industry by himself. He did not expect it to be done in just a few years! Whether it is hardened armor or rapid-fire guns, Bavaria's economic strength has risen to a higher level.

The latter content is even more called "Liao Zhai"! The conflation at hand caused Japan to pay a tragic price in the Qing-Japanese War, and then another conflation, pitting the United States and Russia! That's right, it's the United States and Russia. Fisher's instinct told him that the prince actually hoped that the United States would lose to Japan in the Philippines! Because all this is a coincidence! Four battleships were finally delivered to the Japanese! Then turned around and used it on the Americans~www.wuxiaspot.com~ In addition, the recent dispute between Germany and Portugal is said to be the prince’s plan. Therefore, Fisher believed that the prince possessed the energy and power second only to the Kaiser in the top German ranks, and could easily influence Germany’s political tendencies. If Germany and Russia really reached a certain understanding, then for Britain It is undoubtedly a very bad thing!

"These things you said seem to have nothing to do with me. You should say these to the British Empire's ambassador to Berlin. In this way, your intentions may be more easily conveyed to the upper echelons of the empire." Fisher said.

"The British ambassador? He knows me, I don't know him! Besides, for professional issues such as the Navy, it is natural to talk to professionals. Just 3 days ago, I received a telegram from China , The Russians have ordered the fourth Rurik Class 2 battleship. And the Americans’ next loan will be sent to Russia soon, plus this time from the French. Russia has enough funds to order two more ships. , Then I would like to ask you, if Japan wants to win, how much additional cost will it need?"

The prince's smile was still bright, but it made Fisher shudder! The so-called threat, of course, requires people to feel the danger, then this threat is useful. Since it is a naval business, the prince will naturally talk to Fisher, who knows how to do it, because he understands, he cares, and he knows the severity. And it won't take long for this guy to return to the Admiralty! Work hard, great use! What's the matter with the British ambassador?
