Chapter 51: It's a man, tell me something!

"As for? Isn't it the launch of an armored cruiser? This scale is up to the level of the King of Saxon's enthronement ceremony, right?" Ruprecht led a group of doglegs on the road to the shipyard, watching the lights outside. The arrangement and the busy crowd said.

"The key lies not in this ship, but in the meeting of the crown princes of the two major powers of Germany and Russia. The political significance is far greater than this launching ceremony. Of course, your visit also adds to the ceremony." Count Schelling said.

"I heard that the Russian crown prince came on a new armored cruiser that they had just been in service for a short time? If I remember correctly, it should be called the Nakhmonov, right?" The prince is not interested in the topic of pomp. , But very interested in the Navy!

"Yes, although the fleet of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Russia this time is not as large as last year, but the quality is good. This armored cruiser has a displacement of more than 8,000 tons and is equipped with 8 8-inch guns and 10 6-inch guns. "Earl Schelling said.

"Well, wait for a while to get on the ferry, let's lean on it!" The prince is still very interested in this cruiser that was sunk in the naval battle. After all, this warship was the most popular ship before the Russian service of the Rurik. A powerful cruiser, and its cross main gun is really good, as long as the main gun terraces on both sides are staggered, it is more in line with the prince's aesthetics.

　　 "Okay, as you wish, my lord." The protagonists of this ceremony are naturally the two princes. Although his master is important, he is only a foil. Relatively speaking, there is not so much business. Arrange it to satisfy the prince’s curiosity.

　　Although it has been so long, this is the first time the prince has observed the completed battleship of this era... I carefully compared the pictures I have seen in my mind. Although the sails covering the entire deck reveals a strong smell of earthy turtles, the huge hull, dense artillery and extended angles of attack still make people feel a kind of Excited.

　　 The ferry approached to a position only 700 meters away from the Russian fleet. However, because this ship was to welcome the bigwigs of both sides, while flying the German and Russian flags, it did not cause any reaction from the Russian fleet. Then, what the prince did not expect was that there were not only Germans on this ship, but also Russians! Some of them are still celebrities!

　　 "What else are those people doing?" Makanov, who was sitting on the corner of the ferry, pointed to Prince Ruprecht and his party in the distance. The tone was full of dissatisfaction. Based on his experience, he knew that the opponent was observing the Russian fleet close at hand, among which Russia's cutting-edge armored cruiser was the top priority. The sense of responsibility of a naval general made him feel very disturbed, even angry. When he stood up and was about to walk over, a person next to him immediately grabbed him.

　　 "Mr. Major General, pay attention to your words and deeds. They are just curious." Alessheko Kuropatkin grabbed the somewhat reckless Rear Admiral.

　　 "The opponent is the eldest grandson of the royal family of Bavaria, the future king of Bavaria, you are very rude to go up like this now. And it may put His Royal Highness in an embarrassing situation." The infantry lieutenant general carefully explained.

"But they are..." Before Major General Makanov finished speaking, he saw Kuropatkin shook his head: "They just looked, and judging from their expressions, they are very good to us. The battleship is just interested, not necessarily eye-catching."

　　 "That can't be the case either." Makanov couldn't help it, because he was worried about running into a future king, which was obviously inappropriate, and it was in conflict with the tone of the meeting. If I go up like this, I am afraid that the Russian crown prince will not allow it!

"Now is the time for our canary to play. I think if it were a beautiful lady, the prince would not have overreacted, at least he would not continue to focus on the navy ships. "Kuropatkin looked at a girl who was sitting not far away, and said meaningfully.

At this time, Ruprecht still did not realize what was happening next to him. After a brief curiosity, he began to despise the warship from the bottom of his heart. There was no rapid-fire gun, terrace-style turret, low armor belt, Overweight, stubby boat type... His eyes were full of contempt. With a tonnage of 8,500 tons, this stuff will come out in the end. If you leave it to me... The prince fell into YY.

　　 "What are you looking at?" There was a slightly trembling voice beside him.

　　 "Hmm. Nakhmonov." The traverser said subconsciously, and then set his gaze on the other cruiser behind the Nakhmonov.

　　 "What do you think of it?" Against the surprised or even mocking gazes of the people around, Countess Ajielena, who was assigned by Curropatkin to change the subject, insisted on biting her head. The other party didn't seem to realize his existence, only the next earl looked suspiciously at her and the Russian officer next to him.

"Not so good. It is a product of completely outdated subsystems. If my subordinates designed this kind of battleship, I will immediately let him go. The simple terrace guns make this battleship have a huge number of main guns but not The output, the secondary artillery lacks defense, and the most unbearable thing is that the speed of the battleship is too slow. It is difficult for me to understand whether this speed can be called a cruiser..." I thought it was a colleague who was asking myself, Under the inner influence of the prince's arrogance, Prince Ruprecht has completely entered the state and began to play the role of Baron Vittorio...

　　 "Your Royal Highness, I don't think it is appropriate for you to discuss this kind of thing with such a beautiful lady." Earl Schelling, who couldn't stand aside, stepped forward and said. Then he looked at the two Russian generals nestled in the corner and showed deep dissatisfaction.

　　 "Huh?!" The prince who realized that something was wrong turned his head and looked over. A tall and beautiful figure in a long skirt was standing seven or eight steps away from him. Facing a circle of attendants next to her, the girl might be nervous, even a little scared, and her body trembled slightly.

　　 "What's the matter?" The prince looked at Earl Schelling beside him.

"There are two Russians who have some opinions about what you have done, but they dare not directly raise them, so they let this poor lady divert your attention." Count Schelling motioned to hide in the corner with his eyes. Said Makanov and Kulopatkin in Li.

　　 "What did I just say?" The prince's face was a little green.

　　 "Some things that are not suitable for speaking to beautiful women." Earl Schelling was also a little speechless, and his master was a little too confused! Evaluation of a battleship with a beautiful woman! The baron wouldn't be like this here, right!

　　 "Sorry, I'm a bit gaffe, regardless of your business." As Kuropatkin expected, the prince is indeed inconvenient to be angry with a young noble woman.

　　 Ruprecht walked over and comforted. "Not to mention, the quality of Russian beauties is indeed good." There seemed to be a trace of tears on the bright white face, and the long golden hair was tied on top of her head. The slightly three-dimensional face and exquisite facial features are fascinating. Coupled with a soft and crisp voice, the traveler has to admit that this girl is really beautiful.

　　 "Do you speak German?" the prince asked embarrassedly.

　　 "My mother is from Germany and I was born in Kiev." Azelina whispered.

　　 "There are so many beautiful women in Ukraine, the ancients don't deceive me!" The prince sighed with emotion.

　　 Ruprecht is very depressed, not only because the people around him have some weird or even surprised eyes, but more importantly, the prince remembered a "multiple choice" before crossing. Want a girlfriend or LOL? Well, now the prince's subconscious mind for many years has made a choice for him when it comes to chatting with beautiful women or continuing to observe the Russian fleet! The prince himself despised himself, and this beautiful girl stood beside him. How could you discuss warships with her? No reason!

　　 The prince was very angry. The girl is innocent, so now His Royal Highness must find the culprit who has embarrassed herself, or at least find a scapegoat. Nesting in the corner of the cabin, drinking coffee, and making a pair of two Russian generals that I don't know about became the target of His Royal Highness's vent.

"I'm going! Another one is from the navy? According to Vittorio, UU read www.uukanshu.com. Two days ago, Russian naval officers visited the armored cruiser USS Mainz. You see that Lao Tzu's ship is no better than Lao Tzu's. Careful? Now there is a face to say Laozi?" The prince was very upset, and immediately turned his thoughts into actions.

　　 "Two gentlemen, there are some things you can say by yourself without instigating an innocent girl. Don't you even have this courage and responsibility?" Ruprecht walked straight over and said mercilessly.

　　 "His Royal Highness, what you just did..." Makanov blushed and was born to defend.

"If you have an opinion, say it yourself!" The traveler frowned: "If I said what I did just now, I can ask His Royal Highness Nicholas II. In the Russian navy delegation visiting the armored cruiser Mainz, Is there a sir. If so, I will protest to His Royal Highness! Because his behavior endangers the security of Germany."

　　 "Sorry, everything is our fault, I apologize to you on behalf of my friend, dear Prince of Bavaria." Kuropatkin immediately got up and said, and pressed hard against Makanov, who was trying to defend him. At this time, the situation is better than people, talk less, just admit it and it's over! Waiting for the boat to get to the shore, will it be over if they go their own way? If you have to keep going, you must be at a disadvantage! Originally, this kind of thing done by the other party could not be counted as wrong, but to some extent what the two of them did was offensive.

　　 "Your Highness, the ceremony is about to begin." Earl Schelling reminded him.

　　 "Is this person a bit familiar?" As soon as the venting traveler left, he suddenly felt that the guy in the rear admiral suit was like someone... Forget it, don't worry, it's important to do business first!
