"Your Excellency, are our submarine force and Battlecruiser ready?" Oscar asked.

"Everything is ready. After the Austro-Hungarian Empire declared war on Serbia, preparations for the war began!" Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz said. As the head of German Navy, Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz also has a very keen political sense. He also realized that the war was about to begin. German Navy, whether you can defeat the powerful enemy depends on this time.

Oscar nodded. "Tomorrow night, let our submarine and Battlecruiser Squadron go to sea! The war will begin soon. The warships we have spent a lot of money to build must be put to use."

"Your Highness, Britain people haven't made their stance clear yet. Will they declare war on us immediately?" Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz asked.

Although, everyone knows that there will definitely be a war between the two countries British-German. However, judging from the current situation, Britain is still debating whether to join the war. Therefore, it seems a bit premature to send the fleet to sea now.

Oscar shook his head. "I can guarantee that in three days at most, the Britain people will declare war on us!"

Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz is a little unconvinced. Why is Oscar so sure?

"Don't forget, the most important part of Western Front Operation Plan is to use Belgium to attack northern France. Will Belgians agree to our request? That is almost impossible. Once our army enters Belgium, The Britain people will definitely not sit idly by. The Britain people have always implemented a continental balance of power strategy. They will not watch the fall of the Belgium people, so it will be inevitable for the Britain people to join the war soon!" Oscar analyzed.

"Well, it seems that we do have to prepare in advance. Tomorrow night, the submarine force and Battlecruiser Squadron will go to sea. Once the Britain people declare war on us, we will immediately launch an attack on their sea transportation lines and completely strangle them!" Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz said.

In order to strangle the Britain people's sea transportation lines, German Navy specially built hundreds of submarines. And, after the war broke out, an order was once again placed with the shipyard to build one hundred submarines. Regarding Battlecruiser, although 'Mackensen-class' Battlecruiser has not yet entered service, 'Blücher-class' Battlecruiser, 'Moltke-class 'Battlecruiser and 'Derfflinger class' Battlecruiser are each more powerful than the last. They have an overwhelming advantage against British Navy's Battlecruiser.

Oscar can predict that under the joint stranglehold of German submarines and Battlecruiser, Britain's maritime transportation line will definitely suffer a devastating blow. By then, the situation in Britain's country will be very bad. In order to protect its maritime transportation lines, British Navy had to send more warships to escort. But whether it is a cruiser or Battlecruiser, it will not be the opponent of German Navy's Battlecruiser, and it will only make them pay greater losses. It will even force British Navy and German Navy to have a decisive battle in advance.

"How is the construction progress of our 'Bavaria-class' Battleship and 'Mackensen-class' Battlecruiser? Will they be able to serve in the first half of next year?" Oscar asked.

"Your Highness, the construction period has been accelerated now. There should be no problem if it is put into service in the first half of next year." Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz nodded.

"In this case, the decisive battle between us and British Navy will be scheduled in the first half of next year! I believe that the Britain people who are driven crazy will definitely be eager to have a decisive battle with us by then." Oscar said with a smile.

Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz also laughed.

Once Britain's sea transportation line is hit, it will undoubtedly be fatal for Britain. As long as Britain people don't want to be hanged bit by bit by Germany, they can only make a desperate move. And when the time comes, German Navy and Capital Ships may not be able to take advantage in terms of quantity. But in terms of quality, German Navy can definitely take advantage. At that time, the possibility of German Navy winning will be very high. Once German Navy wins, Britain will be completely finished.

Early the next morning, Oscar put on a military uniform. Germany has declared war on Russia, so Oscar must rush to the front line as soon as possible. It is estimated that Russians's troops attacking East Prussia are already on the way.

Although, Oscar is very confident in 8th Army Corps. But this time, they have to face enemies that are twice or even three times their size. Therefore, Oscar still has to be careful. If 8th Army Corps fails to withstand Russians's attack, it will be a fatal blow to Germany. At the same time, he may not have the shame to continue to rely on Crown Prince's position. Therefore, for the benefit of the Empire, and also for its own benefit, Oscar must win in the next war.

Oscar went to Wilhelm II's office and bid farewell to Wilhelm II.

"Father Emperor, I will rush to 8th Army Corps soon. I guarantee you that 8th Army Corps will definitely resist Russians's attack and fight for a month or even longer for the Western Front!" Oscar said firmly.

Wilhelm II looked at his son in military uniform and nodded with satisfaction. "Oskar, go ahead with peace of mind. Don't worry about things at home. I know you are worried about the war on the Western Front. But you have to believe that Imperial Army is invincible. French is our defeated enemy, and this time, we can defeat them too!"

Wilhelm II seemed confident, so Oscar naturally couldn't pour cold water on him anymore. The only thing he can do is to find a way to win for Germany when the Western Front cannot open up the situation.

"Yes, Father Emperor!" Oscar didn't say much.

"Go, Oskar. I believe you will win." Wilhelm II said.

"Germany will win!" After Oscar finished speaking, he turned and left.

Oscar then returned home and said goodbye to his wife and children. Gundelinde's eyes were red, and his three-year-old son seemed to realize something and started to scream.

"Gundelinde, don't worry, I will come back safely." Oscar said with a smile.

"Well, Oskar, I'll wait for you to come back!" Gundelinde nodded. She is a very well-behaved wife. Even if she is worried, she will not stop Oscar. Because she knew she couldn't stop it.

Oscar kissed Gundelinde and his son, and then, under the protection of the guards, went to the train station, took a special train to Königsberg, and headed to the front line to prepare for battle.
