The Rise of the Empire

"Tirpitz, our partner status is not simple. By chance, the heirs of the two most powerful families in Germany successfully fought back against those shallow and arrogant guys who dared to offend the dignity of the emperor!" Sanssouci Palace In the middle, the future Kaiser, the current Crown Prince Wilhelm said very comfortably to his trusted servant.

"The prince of the Bavarian royal family, the future king of the kingdom, it is really rare for such a talent to come out of the Catholics in the south. I thought it was just a barren land lacking industry. In the fields, there were only sparse crops and some textiles. There is nothing outside the factory!" Crown Prince William made no effort to hide his disdain for this country. But he was right. Bavaria is indeed poor, even in agriculture. The unit yield of many crops is only three-quarters of that in rich areas! From 1871 to 1913, government revenue in Prussia quadrupled! Saxony is 3 times! And Bavaria is only 2 times!

"Of course, at least now this state has brought a lot of good things to our navy and army, and its role is worthy of recognition. And we are now considered comrades-in-arms and partners." Looking at a slightly dissatisfied court next to him Attendant, William realized that his words had gone too far. My own words will definitely reach the ears of His Majesty the Emperor through the mouths of some people. It would be bad if it caused my father's displeasure or caused other things! Although William can't control his mouth sometimes, he is not a stubborn person.

"This is also an opportunity for you. I hope that you, as a representative of the royal family, will go to Munich and Bavaria to discuss related matters in person. This is definitely not a private meeting. What we talk about may have a great impact on the Admiralty. A lot of positions have been vacated because of armor procurement, but this time, it works well, and we can go further! So, this time, you will cooperate with Prince Ruprecht and his design bureau to obtain the Navy's Order!" After dismissing other idlers, Prince William said to his confidant Tirpitz.

"Also, this time the representatives of the government will also go together. They seem to be Bismarck's confidants. Some things should not be said in front of this person." At the end, William reminded again that in history, William II did not want to get rid of Bismarck twice a day. God, the root cause is William II's desire for power and policy conflicts with the prime minister. Although he has moved his mind now, it is obvious that as the crown prince rather than the emperor, he can't do anything to this old guy who has been in German politics for decades. And in order to save some trouble, he had to point out his little brother!

"Okay, I will complete the mission His Highness told you!" Tirpitz responded in a low voice. After leaving the palace, the future Minister of State for the Navy, Tirpitz, who is still a captain of the Navy, has been thinking about what he should do! The reason why the eternal Tirpitz can be called "forever". The fundamental reason is still the same interests as the Kaiser. His Grand Fleet plan coincides with that of the Kaiser. He knows the current Prince William, knows how to please him, and how to get support from him. And this time he needs to face a prince he has never met. Even from various records there is not much content about each other. Although the other party has a prominent status, he is only the grandson of the emperor after all, and he is also a Bavarian!

But soon, Tirpitz made up his mind. In his opinion, after all, everyone's direct goal is to order the navy, so let's talk about bidding and naval design. I hope the prince Don't be so ignorant. Although His Royal Highness, who was aliased as the Sword of Bavaria, spoke sharply and well-founded in the newspaper, he believed that these contents should be written by someone else. Just like his current master.

If possible, he even wanted to describe the High Seas Fleet in his heart with this prince! The sea steel queue composed of dozens or even hundreds of various ships is enough to inspire any ambitious person! not to mention,

Such a large-scale naval construction is also a good thing for Bavaria itself, at least one-third of the profits will go to his pockets. In Tirpitz's view, the prince had almost no reason to refuse!

Tirpitz thought so, and Bismarck thought so too! He even more keenly felt that there was an impatience in the country! The newly established Naval Association was ostensibly a non-governmental organization composed of a group of enthusiasts, but at the beginning almost all members were the bosses of those big companies. They have money, and if some politicians or intellectuals join in, then their agitation will be stronger. If there are some high-level support from the empire, I am afraid that this time, their moderately expanding naval policy will change.

The German Central Committee already has a crown prince. If the Bavarian side makes further moves, the Federal Parliament is likely to propose a larger and more offensive naval proposal! With the influence of Prussia and Bavaria, this proposal can definitely be passed, but even as the prime minister, he cannot veto it. I can argue with the king, but I can't make it difficult with the Federal Parliament, and this proposal complies with the demands of the capitalists, and the possibility of the Imperial Parliament's approval is very high. At that time, a series of problems will be caused that the Prime Minister does not want to see! Because this is very likely to shake his overall strategic layout!

"That prince, or the Kingdom of Bavaria will definitely support a larger military expansion plan! It will definitely! They can get shocking benefits from the new wave of shipbuilding orders!" The more Bismarck thought about it, the more terrifying he felt. But he couldn't prevent all this from happening. You can't interfere in the personal communication between the two princes, can you? Although Frederick III asked for his opinion in a questioning tone, he knew that this was just a formality. The relationship between Frederick III and himself is not as harmonious as that of the old emperor. And Bavaria even dared to file a lawsuit with Prussia on the Kaiser title issue, so why would it care about its own prime minister?

"I need at least one of my own people to watch them and see what will happen along the way." The so-called soldiers come to cover up the water and the earth. Although some things cannot be changed, he still hopes that he can take precautions in advance! Therefore, he specially found a confidant of his to go to Bavaria with Tirpitz to exchange matters about the royal meeting.

As for our protagonist, he never imagined that the meeting he was looking forward to would happen so soon! Before I even set off, a famous historical figure had already come to my door, planning to discuss the issue of the navy and warships with me!
