The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 299: Before the fleet departs



"The future of the German Empire is at sea! We have proved the strength of the German Empire on land with blood and fire! And in the future, warriors of the German Navy, you must turn into the long sword in the hands of the empire and open up the territory for the empire. ......" At the German naval base in Kiel, Wilhelm II personally saw off the upcoming ocean fleet.

;At this moment, in the Kiel naval base, the elite of the German navy gathered! In addition to the Mainz-class armored cruiser No. 3 Luen, which is undergoing trials in the North Sea, and the Mainz-class armored cruiser Cologne, which is being prepared in the dock, there are three Kaiser Friedrich III-class battleships and two A Brandenburg-class battleship, 2 Mainz-class armored cruisers and 3 Munich-class armored cruisers are all concentrated here.

William II uses the new flagship of the German High Seas Fleet, the Kaiser Karl the Great as the background. On the left side of the podium is the German High Seas Fleet Commander Admiral von Boll, and the German High Seas Fleet Commander Admiral Von Boll will be the head of the German fleet executives, while on the right is The civilian navy officer headed by Tirpitz, but Prince Ruprecht was not among them.

;It’s not that the prince’s position is not enough to find a place to sit in, but because, at the moment, the prince is in an office not far from meeting the US Navy personnel who came to contact him. Those who came this time were also the prince’s old friends, the new U.S. Navy Brigadier General Ma Jifen, and the U.S. military attache to Germany, Colonel Benson.

"Your country’s fleet is really rich!" Majifen looked out the window, three Caesar Friedrich III-class battleships lined up, and a little further away were two Brandenburg-class battleships. The former can be seen as an upgraded version of the latter, with 3 huge turrets arranged on the centerline. The slightly slender hull, the huge turret and the profile shape give a refreshing feeling. Putting aside combat power, from the standpoint of appearance, this is almost the most beautiful warship Ma Jifen has ever seen!

; On the other side of the port, there are two Mainz-class armored cruisers and three Munich-class armored cruisers moored. The latter can be regarded as the beginning of a strong German navy. The emergence of the Munich-class armored cruiser did not only give Germany the world’s best warships, but also because of the unexpected battles that the German navy can taste The taste of victory!

After that, I realized that the navy can bring huge benefits, and realized that our strong Germans began to pay more and more attention to their navy! The motivated Germans began to rapidly expand the naval force! The Americans also did a similar path, but unfortunately, in the Far East, the Americans were blocked by the emerging regional powers and ancient empires. How did the Germans do this time?

; "Germany and the United States are, to a certain extent, a kind of country, both of which are newly emerging countries. Our action to seek benefits in the Far East failed. So how does your country view further expansion in Africa? Considering some bad results?" Ma Jifen asked after taking his gaze back from the warship in the distance.

"There will be bad consequences, but we can't give up food because of choking. The countries most likely to interfere are now overwhelmed. Other big countries are indifferent to this matter. I don't think anyone will risk a war with Germany to maintain a small country." The prince laughed. Said.

"This is the weak and the strong?" Ma Jifen still resisted such a straightforward statement.

"In this era, who did not use blood and fire to open the way when rising, and succeeded by stepping on the other's corpse? The same is true for your country, but it failed." The prince said calmly.

"If you fail, you can come again. We have once again launched a challenge to the old order of this world. This time, the two countries will walk side by side!" Benson on the side looked at the atmosphere a little dull and said.

; "Cheers to our upcoming cooperation!" The prince said after pouring a glass of wine for the two American guests. Magifen and others came to Germany on the grounds of the visit and negotiated with the high-level German navy on bilateral cooperation. And officially issued an invitation letter inviting the German fleet to the United States to confuse other countries.

;At the same time, in order to show the sincerity of the German side, the German navy allowed the US military corps to visit a series of naval infrastructure including the Kiel military port, Brom-Forth Shipyard, and the Kiel Naval Academy, and expressed its willingness to accept the US Navy. The officer came to Germany for further study.

After the end of this series of things, the US Navy delegation headed by Magifen will board the German warships to be responsible for liaison work and the subsequent operations of the US fleet in Africa. What surprised the prince was that this time the Americans took the initiative for the first time and expressed their willingness to use American ships to transport German fighters when necessary! As a report, the prince expressed his willingness to promote the establishment of a long-term liaison mechanism between the two navies!

"It seems that His Majesty's speech is over." The cheers outside the window once again attracted the attention of the three people. In the voice of the German navy officers and soldiers shouting long live the emperor, Wilhelm II waved to the officers and soldiers under the field. Subsequently, under the leadership of Earl Spey, the commander of the fleet, the crew of the four warships began to board the ship. The US Navy personnel who participated in the ceremony also boarded these powerful warships for the first time.

"Let’s go~www.novelhall.com~ Let’s take a tour of this fleet together. It is fortunate to be able to see all the first-line battleships in Germany at once. These battleships are the spears, swords and daggers of the Imperial Navy! The sea power system of the Imperial Navy.” The prince said with a smile.

"Your description is very appropriate. The Caesar Friedrich III-class battleship is the imperial navy's spear. The target of this spear is the enemy's main fleet, and the Mainz-class armored cruiser is a sword. Although the lethality is lower, But the victory is quick and agile. The former main force Munich-type armored cruiser is responsible for the tasks of breaking through and covering at sea. Although its strength is weak, it can pose a fatal threat to the opponent's weakness." Majifen said after a moment of contemplation.

"I have to say that your country’s naval construction plan is very good, and the warships designed and built are even better. If it is convenient, can you tell us what guidelines the U.S. Navy should follow? Faced with a severe external environment, the U.S. fleet How to ensure the interests of the United States abroad." Ma Jifen pleaded.

"Hehe, did you think of asking me this time?" the prince said in his heart. However, for the Americans who are already quasi allies at this time, in order to better trouble the Japanese and the British, the prince is still willing to mention the somewhat dizzy Americans who were beaten at this time.
