Expedition to Europe

In the 21st century when Qin Zhiyuan lived, there were some people in Western countries who had deep prejudices against Chinese people. They always tried their best to discredit the Chinese people and wished that the Chinese people would disappear from the earth overnight so that it would suit their wishes.

In this time and space, Qin Zhiyuan would never allow such a thing to happen.

If there is going to be smearing, then well, it can only be Qin Zhiyuan smearing others.

This involves an issue of the right to speak.

If you don’t have the right to speak, you don’t have the right to speak. If you want to argue with others, you have no position. That would be such a sad thing.

Therefore, Qin Zhiyuan wants to build Penglai Island into a holy land of culture. When people mention Penglai Island, the first reaction in people's minds is culture and justice. By then, Qin Zhiyuan's goal will be achieved.

Of course, this starting point is a bit evil, Qin Zhiyuan can only bury this idea in his heart, even William III next to him has to hide it.

The right to speak!

I guess William III wanted it too.

Just chatting all the way, the convoy soon arrived at Black Swan Castle.

Julie's due date was within these days, so it was impossible to go to the port with Qin Zhiyuan. However, when Qin Zhiyuan and William III returned to Black Swan Castle, Misha supported Julie and was waiting in front of the door to greet them.

"Oh, God, be careful..." Seeing Julie with a big belly, Cecilia immediately went up to her and raised her hand to hold Julie's arm.

"Welcome, please forgive me for being rude..." Julie smiled and said to Yan Yan. Although she was obviously inconvenient, she still made a small squatting salute.

"Oh God, be careful..." Even William III couldn't stand now and took two hurried steps with a concerned expression.

To be honest, squatting is definitely a dangerous move for pregnant women who are about to give birth. It would be really tragic if something happened to Julie when she came out to greet William III and his wife.

"Okay, let's go in." Qin Zhiyuan was reluctant to let Julie stand for too long, and he couldn't blame her, so he could only come out to smooth things over.

So the group went to the living room and sat down separately, and naturally formed two groups. Cecilia and Julie sat on a big sofa, and looked for a common language among women with Misha.

Qin Zhiyuan and William III sat at the wine cabinet and prepared to have a drink. William III specially called his eldest son Christian Olaf and second son Michael Hubertus over.

The two royal heirs are actually still young, one is 13 years old and the other is only 12 years old. However, they both try to maintain serious expressions and try to make themselves look more solemn. With their immature faces, they give people a very good impression. weird.

"Hey guys, why don't you introduce yourself?" Qin Zhiyuan used the Chinese magic weapon: teasing children.

The two royal heirs glanced at William III's encouraging eyes, and then quickly looked at each other. The taller one spoke first: "Your Majesty, my name is Wilhelm Friedrich Franz Joseph Christian Olaf. , greetings to you.”

"Oh... Hahahaha, welcome to your arrival, Olaf, I hope Lanfang can leave you with good memories." Qin Zhiyuan performed the demeanor of an elder in a decent manner.

"Your Majesty, my name is Louis Ferdinand Victor Edouard Albert Michael Hubertus. Nice to meet you." The younger one said.

"I'm also very happy to meet you, little guys. Let me introduce you to each other. I am Qin. Qin Zhiyuan is the 'Eastern Overlord from the Far East'. I guess your father should have mentioned me to you." Qin Zhiyuan made a bold statement. .

"Yes, my father did mention you, but I have heard more stories about you from my attendants." Olaf answered fluently, without any stage fright.

The children of the royal family have received elite education since childhood. Their starting point is much higher than that of ordinary people. They have seen a lot of big events, and they have also seen a lot of big shots. Therefore, it is not easy to find out of their behavior and language such as gaffes.

"Oh, what does he think of me?" Qin Zhiyuan was curious.

"You... are very powerful..." Olaf answered a little hesitantly. It was obvious that Olaf's attendant's original words were probably not so tactful.

"Hahaha..." Qin Zhiyuan and William III burst into laughter at the same time, and then Qin Zhiyuan pretended to complain to William III: "Look at the attendants you have found for the crown prince. This is not conducive to maintaining friendship between our two countries."

This problem is not big or small, but if you follow the meaning of Qin Zhiyuan's words, it is not a good sign.

"Hahahaha...Actually, you are more like the same generation, and I am already old, so I brought them here this time just to let the friendship between us continue." William III expressed a sincere expression.

Crown Prince William was born in 1882 and is 37 years old this year. In fact, he is far from being called "old".

Of course, if compared with Qin Zhiyuan, who is only 23 years old, he is indeed old.

"Ah, then Julie and I have to work hard. As an uncle, I can't hang out with my nephews all day long. That would be disrespectful." Qin Zhiyuan looked at Julie and Cecilia who were chatting enthusiastically. .

Women are very magical animals. If two women intend to make good friends with each other, the speed at which the relationship will deepen can be described as "rapid".

Julie and Cecilia were obviously deliberately catering to each other, which made the atmosphere seem much more lively than Qin Zhiyuan and William III.

"I really wish time could stay at this moment!" William III has been under too much pressure during this period, and he couldn't help but sigh when he saw the happy scene.

"Stop at this moment? No, no, no, I don't think so. Germany's current situation is not good, and you need to work harder; and our Lan Fang's situation is also very bad. Maybe you know that just a few days ago, Lan Fang had a dispute with Japan, and we were forced to choose to give in..." Qin Zhiyuan felt really suffocated, and raised his head and drank the wine in his hand.

"The Japanese are just jumping clowns, don't worry about them. A nation that can't innovate but can only imitate has no future. It won't take too long for Lan Fang to surpass Japan in all aspects. By then, you don't even need to fight, the Japanese will bow down in front of you." William III sneered at Japan.

William III was right. So far, Japan is the largest copycat country in the world, no one else.

From imitation to innovation, this is also the only way for all countries, and Lan Fang will also take this road.

However, it seems that Lan Fang's starting point is much better than the Japanese. At least Lan Fang people have currently developed penicillin and nylon, both of which can be attributed to the greatest inventions of mankind in the 20th century.

"No country can rise peacefully. It always has to fight a few wars to show its muscles and make people feel fear. Japan is destined to be just a stepping stone for Lan Fang. This will be confirmed soon, and we don't even have to wait until the near future." Qin Zhiyuan was full of confidence.

After yesterday's celebration party, Qin Zhiyuan had ordered the General Staff to formulate a production plan and organize the production of torpedo planes as the most important military supplies at present.

Lan Fang's aircraft factory is also under intensive construction and is expected to be completed within one or two months. It does not need too many. As long as it has two torpedo plane squadrons, Qin Zhiyuan dares to declare war on the Japanese.

"From what you said, you are very confident." William III looked curious.

"Of course, you will know soon... Lan Fang has developed a killer weapon to deal with battleships, which is also effective for Germany." Qin Zhiyuan considered again and again, and he would never hide it from Crown Prince William.

Germany was a defeated country. The Treaty of Versailles stipulated that Germany was not allowed to have an air force. This was undoubtedly the biggest restriction for Germany. Even if Qin Zhiyuan told Germany the concept of "torpedo planes", the Germans would not pose a threat to Lan Fang in a short time.

"Tell me about it..." William III was very interested.

In the World War, the huge fleet of the British put great pressure on the German Navy. In the middle and late stages of the war, the German fleet was forced to stay in the port by the British fleet and did not even dare to sail. Therefore, it is conceivable how much pressure the British battleships brought to the Germans.

It is also conceivable how curious William III would be now that he heard that there was a way to deal with battleships.

"Torpedo..." Qin Zhiyuan raised a finger and pretended to be mysterious.

"..." William III's expression was wonderful. It is estimated that if it was not in front of the children, William III would have cursed.

"If the launch carrier is a warship or a submarine, the threat to the battleship is indeed not great, but what if it is an airplane?" Qin Zhiyuan revealed the mystery.

The current torpedoes have a range of only four or five kilometers, but the range of battleship guns has exceeded ten thousand meters. It can be said that even if the warship launches a desperate charge, it is estimated that it will be sunk before reaching the launch distance. Even if it is barely launched, the hit rate will probably be terrible. And because of the emergence of sonar, the range of submarines has become smaller and smaller, and it is wishful thinking to approach battleships without being discovered.

"Plane..." William III's expression suddenly fell into a sluggish state.

"Yes, it's an airplane. Think about it, if you hang a torpedo on an airplane and use an airplane to attack a battleship, then if the battleship does not have enough anti-aircraft firepower, what will the result be?" Qin Zhiyuan persuaded.

"Plane..." William III's voice became sad, and you could hear the reluctance and regret from the bottom of his heart.

Just when he said these two words, William III raised his head slightly, but a tear still slipped from the corner of his eye uncontrollably.

"Father..." Olaf hugged William III's arm and comforted him.

Hubertus didn't say anything, and also hugged William III's other arm.

Cecilia and Julie also felt that the atmosphere here was a bit solemn, and looked over here with doubtful expressions.

"It's okay, children..." William III couldn't hold back his tears, but he had already pulled out his arms to hug the two crown princes: "Remember, you must not ignore technology, you must not ignore wonderful ideas..."

What a painful realization.
