Iron Germany

"Are the Germans crazy? They actually want to sell so many battleships in one go!" On the special train back to Berlin, Crown Prince Hirohito roared angrily. Of course, the more expression on his face was envy or even jealousy. At present, there is only one battleship "Fuso" left in the Japanese navy to support the scene, but the German navy wants to sell so many capital ships in one go, which will undoubtedly deal a great blow to the Japanese navy.

You must know that although the "Fuso-class" battleships and the subsequent "Ise-class" battleships are equipped with 356mm main guns, their performance is at most comparable to those of the German Navy's capital ships equipped with 343mm main guns. Now, the German Navy is actually going to eliminate those capital ships. Doesn't it mean that even the capital ships that the German Navy will eliminate are stronger than the most cutting-edge battleships of the island navy? Such a gap made Crown Prince Hirohito feel a deep humiliation and helplessness.

"His Royal Highness, the Germans did it just to save money. After they eliminated so many battleships, they will have more military expenses to build more new battleships. Of course, the Germans did this Buying and selling can be regarded as a steady profit without losing money. Their remaining capital ships are all the most powerful capital ships, and the capital ships they will build in the future will inevitably be the most powerful capital ships. Combining these factors, The German navy will only get stronger!" Kato Takaaki said.

"Baga!" Crown Prince Yuren couldn't help scolding.

The stronger the German navy, doesn't that mean that it will be more difficult for them to defeat the German navy?

"People from other countries are not fools, and they will definitely not let the German conspiracy succeed!" Crown Prince Hirohito said.

Kato Takaaki shook his head: "Your Majesty, those big countries probably won't buy German warships. They are fully capable of building more new-type battleships by themselves. However, those small countries are different. The warships sold by the Germans, the price It should be very cheap. Those small countries do not have the ability to build their own battleships, so buying these second-hand warships from the Germans will be the best choice."

"Damn Germans! Are we just going to watch them get stronger and stronger?" Crown Prince Hirohito was very angry.

"His Royal Highness, the only way is to make ourselves stronger. Apart from this, there is no other way." Kato Takaaki said.

"I believe that the empire will become stronger. At that time, we will be able to defeat the Germans, and we will be ashamed!" Crown Prince Hirohito said firmly.

"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Kato Takaaki nodded.

The German naval expedition fleet destroyed the main coastal cities of the island country, causing great losses to the island country. This has made most islanders regard Germany as the enemy of life and death. There are many people who demand that the government and the army suffer from hardships, develop their military power, and seek revenge from the German navy. It is precisely because of this that the island government has followed the trend and implemented more stringent taxes, trying every means to plunder more wealth from the people of the island country and use it to develop military power.

It can be said that in order to defeat Germany and avenge revenge, the current island country has entered the era of militarism. Even the life of those islanders in the lower class has become very difficult. This made Qin Tian have to admire the tenacity of the islanders. If you were a person from another country, I am afraid that you have already started to resist.

Crown Prince Hirohito and Takaaki Kato had just returned to the Japanese embassy in Germany. Yasuya Uchida, the Japanese ambassador to Germany, reported that the U.S. Secretary of State invited Crown Prince Hirohito and Takaaki Kato to attend a banquet held at the American embassy.

All countries in the world participated in this German military parade. This allowed Berlin to gather the heads of state or representatives of many countries. This has fully developed into an international event. This has also become an excellent channel for countries to strengthen communication and contact.

"Americans, what do they want?" Crown Prince Hirohito frowned.

"Your Highness, there is still a lot that the empire needs to rely on the Americans. We cannot refuse the invitation of the Americans." Kato Takaaki said.

Crown Prince Hirohito nodded. Of course, he knew that the reason why the island nation's navy was able to start rebuilding was that the large loan from the Americans played a vital role. What's more, the island nation still wants to get more loans from the United States. This makes them almost regard the United States as the God of Wealth. Of course, the intentions of the Americans are also very clear to the islanders. However, in order to become stronger in the shortest possible time, they have no other way.

That night, Crown Prince Hirohito and Takaaki Kato attended the banquet held by the US Embassy in costumes. When they arrived, they realized that the US embassy had invited many people. In addition to envoys and representatives from various countries, important ministers from Germany are also invited.

U.S. Secretary of State Bryan became the focus of the audience. He clinked glasses with guests one by one, preaching to them the strength of the United States and the advantages of American products, hoping to further expand the market for American products.

In order to improve the sales of American goods, senior officials of the US government have tried their best. After all, these senior officials are actually elected by big businessmen. Without the support of the businessmen, they could leave the White House at any moment. This made it an unavoidable duty for them to sell goods for merchants after they came to power.

Haven't you seen that the state visits of later generations are followed by a large number of business people?

Crown Prince Hirohito and Kato Takaaki did not stay long at the banquet, and they entered a secret room of the embassy under the leadership of the American ambassador. After entering inside, I found that US Secretary of State Bryan was already waiting there.

"His Royal Highness, Minister of Foreign Affairs, good evening! Sorry, I have to take this opportunity to exchange opinions with you on certain matters." Brian said.

"Your Excellency, Secretary of State, we can understand. After all, this is the territory of the Germans. It is right to be cautious!" Kato Takaaki said.

Brian nodded: "Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Excellency the Minister of Foreign Affairs. The purpose of this military parade held by the Germans must be clear to you, right?"

"The Germans did this out of ulterior motives and wanted to promote their powerful force to the world!" Crown Prince Hirohito said through gritted teeth.

"However, I have to admit that the German military is very powerful! As far as the current situation is concerned, there is no country in the world that can confront them!" Bryan said.

Crown Prince Hirohito and Kato Takaaki had to nod their heads in agreement.
