"Sir Foreign Minister, I have only one goal. Whether I am Imperial Crown Prince or an ordinary Prince, I hope to do my best so that Empire can defeat the enemy and win the war in the future. The outcome of the future war is so important, it is related to the future of the German Empire and Germanic nation. If we lose, Empire will no longer exist, and Germanic nation will have no future." Oscar answered firmly.
Oscar's answer made Feng Kidron Wachth a little moved. In many aspects, the performance of Oscar is much stronger than that of Crown Prince Wilhelm. Feng Kidron Wachth believes that Oscar is undoubtedly the best Crown Prince candidate for the German Empire. Even Prime Minister Bernhardt von Bülow thinks so.
This also caused the attitude of Germany's civilian faction to gradually change, from being neutral before to now clearly expressing support for Oscar. Of course, they do this to protect their interests. Otherwise, once Oscar succeeds to the throne, he will definitely take action against the civil servant faction. They don't want to have to think of a solution when things come to an end. Although investing in advance will involve some risks, you will also get more benefits.
"Crown Prince, Prime Minister and I, as well as other Cabinet Ministers, all approve of Your Highness. From now on, we will fully support Your Highness." Feng Kidron Wachth said solemnly.
Oscar felt very happy after hearing this. With the support of the civilian faction, his last shortcoming can be considered to be filled. His Crown Prince position will also be extremely stable.
"Is this what Prime Minister also means?" Oscar asked.
"Yes, Your Highness. Prime Minister also means the same." Feng Kidron Wachth nodded.
In fact, the reason why he showed his favor to Oscar was entirely because of Prime Minister Bernhardt von Bülow's intention.
Oscar nodded. "Thank you for your trust and support in me. I promise that in the next few years, I will fulfill my obligations as a Crown Prince. And I will try my best to ensure that Empire wins the war in the future!"
Next, Oscar and von Kidron Wachth exchanged their views on the international situation. As a latecomer, Oscar naturally understands the direction of history. Many of his views, although very novel, are also recognized by von Kidron Wachth. This makes Feng Kidron Wachth very happy for today's choice. No matter what, it's better to support a truly talented person than to support an ignorant, ignorant person!
In the afternoon of the next day, the 'Nassau' Battleship arrived at the mouth of the River Thames river. This is not far from London. According to British government's previous notification, warships from various countries will be berthed at the port of Gravesend after arriving. When Prince George ascends the throne, a grand Naval Review will be held at the mouth of the River Thames River. Warships from various countries will also participate in this Naval Review.
"We are about to arrive at London. Next time, if our warships want to arrive here, we will probably have to defeat Britain!" Oscar said with emotion. This place is not far from the Britain capital, London, and has always been the focus of Britain people's defense.
The 'Nassau' Battleship has encountered the British Navy ship many times after entering the River Thames estuary. However, they are basically just destroyers or cruisers.
"Your Highness, we will definitely have the opportunity to come here again!" A young general stood next to Oscar and said to him. He is High Seas Fleet's chief of staff, Major General Reinhard? Scheer.
Oscar nodded, convinced of this. The current German Navy is not even a bit more powerful than in another time and space. In the Battle of Jutland in another time and space, German Navy achieved tactical victory. Then, in this time and space, German Navy will have a greater chance of winning. As long as British Navy can win in the naval battle, Germany will definitely win this battle.
Major General Reinhard? Scheer is also a naval general that Oscar values more. In another time and space, he was Commander of High Seas Fleet. In terms of personal ability, he is undoubtedly excellent.
The 'Nassau' Battleship continued to sail westward, but half an hour later, it was discovered that there were two more British Navy and Battleship ahead.
"Your Highness, Britain people sent Battleship to greet us!" Major General Reinhard? Scheer said.
"Welcome us? I don't think so. The Britain people sent two Battleships at one time. The demonstration may be bigger!" Oscar said with a smile. He didn't pay attention to these little tricks of Britain people at all.
"Britain's two Battleships look smaller than our 'Nassau' Battleship!" Foreign Minister von Kidron Wachth said.
"Your Excellency Foreign Minister, this is because they are far apart. In fact, the two Battleship owned by Britain are not much smaller than our 'Nassau' Battleship. According to the data we obtained, the displacement is only 500 tons less. However, In terms of combat effectiveness, our "Nassau" Battleship can definitely defeat Britain's Battleship. Even if one ship is used against two ships, the chance of winning is very high." Major General Reinhard? Scheer looked very confident.
Although the displacements of 'Nassau-class' Battleship and 'St. Vincent-class' Battleship are similar, the firepower and defense of both sides are still superior to 'Nassau-class'. The defense power of 'Nassau-class' Battleship is stronger than that of 'St. Vincent-class' Battleship who pursues speed excessively. Similarly, the 305mm Main Gun with fifty times the caliber of 'Nassau-class' Battleship is far superior to Britain's 'St. Vincent-class' Battleship in terms of armor-piercing ability.
While Qin Tian and others were talking about the British battleship, a young British naval admiral on the British Navy's battleship 'St. Vincent' was also observing the battleship 'Nassau' with a telescope. He is Commodore David Beatty, the captain of the British Navy's battleship HMS St. Vincent.
"Hmph! The Battleship built by the Germany people is really ugly. The stubby hull looks like a fat pig. It is not as beautiful as British Empire's Battleship, which is like a work of art." Commodore David? Beatty put down the telescope in his hand and said disdainfully. As a noble Royal Navy general, he has his own pride.
