848 Basemarck's new plan
Zhiyuan is a secret weapon shared by Prussia and Ryukyu. For his safety, everyone racked their brains to start improving the plan of this big adventure.
This is an adventure that has never been seen before. An iron-armored steamship that has not been tested in the ocean actually has to conduct a very long voyage across most of the earth, and it cannot be replenished and repaired in the port in the middle.
This is not a task that ordinary people can complete, but this time Xiao Letian chose not only the first class of class one, but the top students in class two and three.
The international students of Ryukyu and the later military academy students were all fanatical and extremely enthusiastic worshippers of Xiao Letian. The brainwashing has been deeply rooted. Not to mention crossing the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, even if they are allowed to expedition to the moon now, they will probably not be hesitant.
The Prussians are the source of the rigorous character of the Germans in later generations. Yes, people in later generations say that the Germans are rigorous, stubborn and meticulous. In fact, this was originally the Prussian character, but later it gradually became the label of the entire German after Germany was unified.
A group of extreme fanatics, coupled with a group of stubborn madmen who do not know how to surrender in the face of difficulties, they combine with any unimaginable puzzles that will not make them retreat.
People began to carefully plan the details of this adventure little by little. Countless islands on the Atlantic map were linked by pencils, and the inhabited port fleets did not dare to approach them, but these small islands must be used well to at least replenish some fresh water and food.
The spare parts must also be prepared. Kevin is the chief designer and he knows where the weak links of the battleship are, so a large number of spare parts must be prepared. If there is a problem in the vast ocean, at least it must be able to perform simple repairs.
After sleepless all day, even Fang Guan was busy preparing delicious meals for them. After 24 hours, they finally prepared a road map for the fleet to go to sea and a list of supplies that needed to be prepared in advance.
Just as Volkeng Shipyard began to purchase supplies separately, the Wing King and the others welcomed another VIP, the Prussian iron-blooded prime minister, Beth Mai, secretly visited Szczechin.
The old man stood at the bow of the Zhiyuan ship, touching the 210mm double-connected Krupp main gun, and remained silent for a quarter of an hour. Carl and the Wing King stood behind him without saying a word to show respect.
"I'm sorry..." After a long time, the Iron Blood Prime Minister spoke. "Actually, at the earliest, I always thought that you and Xiao Letian were making a mess, playing a game of wasting money, but after all, it was fund provided by Xiao Letian, so I didn't say anything..."
"But a year ago, when the main keel and the hull deck were closed, I came here secretly once...that time my view was a little loose... Until now I can only apologize to you."
"To be honest, if you wanted to build a warship like the British Warrior, I would definitely agree with it. Not only would I agree with it, but I would also allocate funds to our Prussian Navy to build one... Later, when I saw Xiao Letian's drawings, I thought he was a lunatic."
"There are only three main guns, two secondary guns, and eight small defensive guns... The main gun still needs to rotate, not rotate, but also need the central axis division... At that time, I really didn't like this warship."
"But today, I realized that I was wrong. Xiao Letian has completely created a new naval battle mode. If he didn't have a complete set of new naval combat ideas and new tactics in his mind, he would never design such a warship."
When Carl and the Wing King heard the Prime Minister blaming themselves, he quickly explained, "You don't have to blame yourself so much. This warship has not conducted long-distance experiments, nor has it experienced the test of actual combat. It is not yet said how excellent he is..."
"No, you don't have to be free for me. Right is right or wrong is wrong. My intuition never lie to me. When I just stood here, I had a premonition that he would become the king of the sea. Xiao Letian's idea is correct, and I believe it now..."
Speaking of this, Beismai smiled and said, "The self-criticism has ended. Now I want to give you a big gift. I have a brand new plan. Let's discuss it..."
The three of them sat together and whispered quickly. After a while, the Wing King raised his head excitedly and shouted to Fangguan under the deck, "Come here..."
Pesme is worthy of being a European hero. His plan made Carl and the Wing King dumbfounded, and he exclaimed in his heart, "This is the realm."
That night, Fangguan took the train south and received an invitation from the Dutch side to attend an earl's cocktail party. Three days later, Fangguan's beautiful singing rang out in the villa in Amsterdam.
The Netherlands is now under the rule of William II. At this moment, the Netherlands no longer has the glory of the sea coachman. Even Belgium’s independence, the Netherlands can only nod and admit that at this time, the Netherlands only hopes to retain some limited colonies around the world, and it is already a luxury to be able to do business well.
The foreign policy that is approaching neutral has boosted the economic vitality of the Netherlands. Amsterdam not only controls the pricing power of spices in Europe but also controls the flower market.
A peaceful and prosperous small country is happy, and Fangguan is very attractive to the exhibition invitations from countries such as the Netherlands, Belgium, and Switzerland. There is no aggressive and grand state style, and even the royal family is very amiable.
The atmosphere is good and the people are more relaxed and are willing to say a few more words. I don’t know that after three or five glasses of red wine, people somehow talked about the current Spanish Civil War. The reformist general Juan Prim and his rebellious army had surrounded Madrid. The pro-Queen army was defeated step by step. Any military strategist and politician were desperate about the rule of Isabella II.
Europeans are as happy as people on earth. Queen Isabella, who ruled Spain since 1843, is one of the gossips that people in Europe love to talk about. As long as the Spanish are not present, people will joke about the debauchery.
Isabella has ruled Spain for 25 years, and the lives of the people have not improved at all. The overseas colonies have been lost one by one. The queen herself has countless lovers. It is said that even his own son was born of an affair with a guard.
Private life is extremely chaotic, and internal affairs are not successful. In 25 years, the 34th government was replaced. In the end, all the groups of slander officials were left behind, and the government was extremely corrupt.
Such a person is destined to be the focus of ridicule at European cocktail parties. If it weren't for the intimate connection between Isabella and the French Bourbon dynasty, if the French supported her, this woman wouldn't have been able to last for even ten years of rule.
As a rookie in the European social circle, Fang Guan is very familiar with these secret events. One by one, true or false pornographic jokes and jokes can always make everyone laugh. Soon, many people joined in, and the chat atmosphere was very lively.
The atmosphere became better and better, and the wine became more and more. Until the end, Fang Guan accidentally told a secret, a secret that shocked the French people present.
It turned out that Prim and Serano rebels had secretly been with Prince Reop, a distant relative of the German royal family, before the rebellion was launched. The Provisional Government actually intended to choose a German as the king of Spain.
The faces of several French people who had just smiled and toasted each other changed color. They put down their wine glasses and left the party early, and the war of inheritance rights that shocked Europe began.
Note: Last night, my book friend was really amazing and got angry. Such a big red envelope scared me so much... Today, I will give him two warship names by the third update.
