Judging from the situation on the battlefield, the Japanese fleet is undoubtedly the winner of the naval battle. They sank the Russian Pacific Fleet's main ship twice its main ship at the cost of losing 40,000 tons of ships, laying the foundation for the Yellow Sea to control the sea within the next six months. However, it is confusing that after defeating the Russian main force, the Japanese fleet did not search for the Russians' transport ships, but cast a large net in the direction of Makarov's retreat before nightfall, completely annihilation.

The Russian fleet was swearing to stop. When the Japanese side realized that the Russian remnant fleet had left their control, the Russian troop transport ship had disappeared on the sea for more than a day and a half. Due to the tactical maneuvers carried out by the fierce battle between their own fleet and the Russians, and the unyielding search for the sea for the next day, the Japanese fleet and the Russian transport fleet were already far apart and could hardly judge where they were now.

Toyoto ordered the main force of the fleet to return. Five battleships and two armored cruisers dragged their devastated bodies and slowly drove back to Sase Port under the escort of six torpedo boats. For his joint fleet, this mission had been achieved: the main force of the Russian Pacific Fleet suffered heavy damage and had to stay in his nest for a long time since then. The Japanese Navy got the sea control power above the Yellow Sea as he wished. However, he did not give up searching for the Russian transport fleet. While the main force returned,

He also asked the old protective cruisers led by Takasago to take action separately and search the Russian fleet. Just as he returned to the base, good news came from Tsushima Strait: four new-style patrols built by British and German commanded by Uemura successfully caught and defeated the Russian patrol team including two slags; the Trash Liurik, which started construction in 1890, was sunk in the Sea of ​​Japan without any suspense due to its slow speed, low armor height, and a scammer layout.

After about half an hour, William finally turned the report in his hand to the last page. He looked up at Bilo and said with some confusion: "Where did that Russian transport fleet go? Didn't they act with Makarov? We not only rented a large number of ships to the Russians, but also specially arranged a large number of sailors to accompany the ship and the Russians to create opportunities for me, Germany in a specific situation. This naval battle broke out because of the transport fleet, why is the protagonist no longer here now?"

"Report to your Majesty, four hours before the contact between the main fleets of both sides, Makarov ordered the transport fleet to disband and retreat, and then led the fleet to maneuver to the other side to attract the attention of the Japanese. The Japanese didn't know what was going on, so they cooperated to chase the Russian fleet and fought fiercely until the main force of the fleet returned the next day. "Bilo had a hint of regret on his face and said softly, "I hope that God will help the Japanese find these transport ships, and it is best to sink our ships with artillery fire; in this way, it will not only make the Russians suffer more heavy losses, but I, Germany, also have enough excuses to interfere in it and obtain the benefits we expect."

William exhaled a long breath and sighed: "Makarov is truly the leading general in the Russian Navy. In a situation where he is almost dying, he can still make the situation look like he is now, almost allowing him to return safely with all his warships and transport ships. Although the commander of the Japanese fleet made a lot of mistakes during this period, his ability to accurately intercept the Russian fleet with such a strange route is enough to show his wisdom and strategy. Although I, Germany, can build the world's top warships and can build large quantities with strong economic and industrial strength, no matter how powerful the lineup is, it needs to be controlled by people. I don't know if there are any outstanding commanders in the Imperial Navy like Makarov of Russia and Hirahachiro Togo of Japan?"

Bilo's mouth was slightly snug, and he couldn't help but feel helpless. His original intention of reporting this situation to William was not to discuss naval affairs with him; in fact, as the Prime Minister, he had no feelings about it in this field that the emperor and the crown prince were keen on. Bilo coughed and whispered: "The imperial navy is thick and long, and with General Tirpitz in charge, it will definitely give birth to a fleet commander who can compete with Makarov or even surpass. Your Majesty, after this battle between Japan and Russia, the opportunity for my German expansion to the outside world will follow."

"Huh?" When William's eyes lit up when he heard the word expansion, his face showed an expression of excitement and expectation. What this guy liked the most was the magnificent naval fleet and the colonies in the sun. Due to the role of Qingying, the number of ships built by the German navy in the pre-Defensive era suddenly decreased, and William was always in a state of depression of dissatisfaction. Although the successive start of construction of the fearless battleships and battle cruisers in the past two years made his empty heart quite filling, it was like a beggar who had been hungry for three days and got two meat bags to satisfy his hunger, which was far from satisfying. Therefore, when he heard Bilo mention that Germany might expand abroad again after annexing the Philippines, William could no longer remain calm.

"In fact, from the moment the war broke out between Japan and Russia, Germany ushered in an unprecedented opportunity for expansion. Due to Russia's unity towards the east, the German-Austrian alliance formed an absolute suppression of France on the European continent. We can now do whatever we had been concerned about the French-Russian alliance but did not do it. Now the Russian Navy's miserable defeat has made the actions we will take more fearless." Bilo smiled faintly, and a light flashed in his gray-blue eyes. He stood up and walked to William's side, and then pressed his palm on the huge world map behind the emperor.

"For example, Morocco in northwestern Africa! It is located in the north of the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean to the west, and it can firmly jammed the lifeline of Britain, Gibraltar, and has an excellent strategic position. In recent years, France has rapidly expanded its power to Morocco and carried out economic infiltration, which has rapidly increased their control over the Moroccan region. And because Germany cannot carry out their strategy of raising loans to the outside world, its influence there has been gradually replaced by France. Now, taking advantage of the opportunity of Russia's eastward advance is the time for us to make efforts! It is necessary for us to kidnap Britain and Spain, which also has covetous and economic interests in Morocco, and coerce France to sign a treaty to recognize Morocco's independence, so as to avoid becoming its protectorate state - that is, a colony under the infiltration of French forces." Bilo's eyes flashed and he said in a slightly excited tone.

William nodded quietly and signaled Bilo to continue.

"Then the construction of the Middle East Railway. Under the Mesopotamian plain, there is a massive amount of oil that makes the whole world fascinate, and the infiltration of the Ottoman Empire is an indispensable part of our world expansion policy. Although their Sultan Abdul Hamid II has a great favor for me, Germany and His Majesty, most of the finances of this country are still controlled by the French, so that they have many concerns when working with us. To break this situation, go straight from Berlin to the Persian Gulf Bahru to break this situation from Berlin to Bahru, the Persian Gulf.

The Middle East Railway in Sla is the best medium." Bilo stroked his gray beard and smiled, "Now we can start to squeeze out the French elements that were inserted into this railway, so that the figures of this group of Gauls will disappear completely in the Middle East Railway. As long as I, Germany, can grasp this Ottoman artery and vigorously promote trade between the two sides, we can penetrate the power into all areas of the Ottoman Empire within 5 to 8 years, thus playing a decisive role in Germany's implementation of world policies."

William nodded slowly and said, "Before this, I always thought that the Ottoman Empire was the most weak and sick man in Europe. He would fall down and die completely. He never regarded these pagans living on the Asia Minor as allies worthy of win over. However, what surprised me was that although this country was in decline and dying, it survived year after year, holding the keys of the safe tightly and refused to let go. If this regime could exist for a long time, we really need to help, and not let them fall into the arms of the British or French."

"British and France, especially Britain, have always been fighting for the European sick man Ottoman. They just waited for the country to fail to persevere in the collapse, and they plundered the gold, silver and jewelry they wore and stored wealth treasures on their bodies. The barbarity, backwardness, tyranny and cruelty of this pagan autocratic country have caused the British who regarded themselves as a celebrity and gentleman and the French who were proud of their elegant art to have a heartfelt disgust. When the Russian bear paw was about to extend to Constantinople, Britain would reluctantly support them for their own interests. After the bear crisis was eliminated, it immediately abandoned itself; and the French were only concerned about issuing amazing loans with high interest rates to the Ottoman and extorting their finances. Russia

The Ottomans are even more determined to die and always covet Constantinople. In the past two centuries, they had a full 10 large-scale confrontations. Therefore, in the face of the warm embrace of my Germans being able to open their assistance to them, they will definitely walk with us with tears of gratitude and happily take the lead in my great cause of the German Empire dominating the world, and swear to be loyal to death." Bilo said softly, his words contained strong confidence, "This is a wise choice for a country to seek profit and avoid harm, and it is also an eternal law and law. No one can interfere with other means. The shocking energy bursting out from the German steel furnace will be the most solid backing for this action!"

"My German Empire has been dormant for too long. If I don't move, I'm afraid the world will forget our most powerful country on the European continent." William slowly stood up from his seat and turned his back. Looking at the huge world map that was so familiar that it was too familiar to me, he murmured, "When I have made enough money in silence, it is reasonable to make a big news?"
