The Rise of the Empire

"This, this, this is unimaginable!" Looking at the telegrams handed to him by the Kaiser, Tirpitz suddenly felt a sorrow. He could not have imagined that he had been the Minister of State of the Navy for more than 20 years. Up to now, his most capable and capable generals actually support Ruprecht to obtain the command of the navy. This is like a teacher who trains his own students with due diligence. However, after the students have completed their studies, they have directly switched jobs to others. ....

Tirpitz can understand Hipper’s choice. After all, Hipper is a Bavarian. He can go to the present, and the help of the prince is inseparable. And the prince’s suggestion did have reasonable support, and it was not surprising that Hipper chose Tirpitz in this way.

Tirpitz also understands Su Xiong's choice. After all, now that Su Xiong can be so beautiful in the Indian Ocean and ready to be promoted to lieutenant general, the plan designed by the prince for him has made great contributions. It is not too much to say that this plan has achieved Su Xiong. Moreover, the prince also gave Su Xiong suggestions and tips, so Su Xiong supported it.

Then there are Earl Spey and Scheer. From the internal navy system, the two and Hipper are in a competitive relationship. Well, Earl Spey may be worse because he has become the commander of the Allied Mediterranean-Black Sea Fleet and will be homeland. The possibility of becoming commander of the High Seas Fleet is relatively small.

But what about Scheer? He is a person valued by himself and the Kaiser. Now letting him command the two battleship squads is also a pavement for him to take office. In the end, Scheer not only agreed to let Ruprecht be the commander, but even reportedly convinced some doubts. Major General Becken! What rhythm is this tm? Tirpitz said he really couldn't understand it.

"Then what about General Ball, does he know about this?" Tirpitz wiped the cold sweat from his head and said. When it comes to Boll, Tirpitz finally balances his mind. He is just the Secretary of State of the Navy. Boll must be the saddest person. Asking himself that Boll is not wrong, all of his generals support outsiders to command the fleet. This kind of thing is no one...

"I have arranged someone to tell General Boll, I want to hear your opinion now." The Kaiser looked at Tirpitz and said.

"I.... This incident exceeded my expectations. I always thought you were just on a whim." Tirpitz really didn't know how to answer this question. From the bottom of his heart, he did not want the prince to directly intervene in the command of the fleet, but now, in the face of the attitude of the high-level fleet officers and the powerful Ruprecht, he really dare not say any objections, because in addition to the prince, he needs to take care of the east. Outside the line, even Tirpitz thought he was more suitable to dominate the overall situation of the navy.

After all, the current record of the Imperial Navy, whether it was the submarine break-through operation or the Su Xiong fleet, was carried out according to the prince's plan. This record cannot be faked. If you change to another admiral, you may already be the commander of the High Seas Fleet.

"Don't even have the guts to say no?" The Kaiser said jokingly. "Do you know why I like to discuss with Ruprecht when I have a problem, rather than with you or with Xiao Moqi? Your ability is limited. One reason is that you can't come up with a solution. More importantly, you You don’t even have the determination to express what you want! You dare not say everything you think. When you say every word, you will suffer from gains and losses. And a real soldier does not like such a boss, so our The generals chose Ruprecht. Little Mochi is better, and you are not suitable for participating in the formulation of wartime naval strategy."

"If this is the case, then so be it. The Bavarian prince can mobilize the fleet when he thinks it is appropriate. I will arrange for him a naval liaison group to act with him. When he has time and when the environment is right, he is on the high seas. Commander of the fleet!" said the Kaiser.

"Yes, Your Majesty. But how does the prince arrange time?" Tirpitz said with some shame.

"You don't need to worry about it. Boll and Hipper have already gone to discuss these matters with Ruprecht. You only have to cooperate with him." The Kaiser waved his hand and said.

At the same time, Scheer and Hipper also came to the prince's temporary residence. At this moment, what they saw was a group of soldiers entering and exiting placing various items on the vehicles parked in the courtyard. It was obvious that the Bavarian crown prince was about to move.

"Hippel, where do you think our prince will go?" General Boll said sourly.

"I don't think he will go to Kiel Harbour at least now." Hipper said blankly.

"We have to plan a large-scale operation, but the person in charge is on the Eastern Front, Munich or other places." General Boll frowned.

"This is the emperor's order, and we can only follow it. In fact, when the prince suggested that General Su Xiong go to the Indian Ocean, he also proposed it in the palace in Munich." Hippel spoke neither softly nor hard.

"Okay, okay, to be honest, I'm not accustomed to discussing naval affairs next to a group of army officers." Admiral Boll can't say anything now, with the support of the major fleet commanders and the authorization of the Kaiser~ www.wuxiaspot.com~ plus the prince is also considered "experienced". He, the commander of the navy, is actually equivalent to a mascot.

"General Ball, General Hipper, Your Royal Highness is waiting for you in the conference room, please follow me." The prince's chief of staff personally greeted the two.

"I think you should have seen your majesty's appointment. That is to say, this time the plan is ready to begin. You should come to me for this matter." The prince saw the visitor, no nonsense. It is him today. It’s the last day of the Western Route, and tomorrow we will embark on the train back to Munich. He didn't want to waste time.

"That's it, Your Highness," General Ball said.

"Well, I now need you to do some preliminary work, collect necessary information, and interfere with the judgment of the British." The prince said.

"preliminary work?"

"Yes, it's the preliminary work. Let me give you a very simple example. Who can be sure whether the British Queen Elizabeth-class battleship has left the British mainland? This is a prerequisite for our plan. If Thomas does not leave, the entire plan cannot be implemented. "The prince asked the question first.

"This is difficult to answer. After all, the British guard the anchorages of the Great Fleet very strictly." General Boll's face changed slightly, a little embarrassed, because as the naval commander, he really didn't know the most powerful in the British navy.
