"As soon as Dewey left, Sevilla came? Is this more relaxing?" Ruprecht was Dewey who received the meeting in the morning. As a result, he had just had a meal with Dewey and was about to go back for lunch. In the afternoon, Admiral Sevilla from the Spanish Navy came! He was an admiral, so he had to wait for him. So, the yawning prince washed his face, drank a cup of coffee and continued to fight.

"According to the news I have received, the highest quotations from our country and Argentina, both of which are 750,000 pounds. It's not too much for us to want one?" Sevilla didn't have so many twists and turns, and she went straight to the point.

"Haha, are you anxious?" Ruprecht sneered in his heart. The United States and Spain have been in conflict with the colony issue for a long time. Otherwise, Spain would not have built a large-scale naval force after the 1990s. And now, Spain can feel the malice of the Americans as physically as they are! The former world empire now has only a few colonies left. It can be called Spain's last fig leaf, so this strip cannot be thrown away at will. So the Spanish government also decided to be a little cruel to itself.

"The bidding has just begun, and there are still some people who have not entered the market. Your quotation is just now with a certain advantage. Why don't we wait? The two warships are still under construction, and the delivery date will not be delayed. As long as the price is appropriate, it will be completed in the second half of next year." The prince said with a smile.

"Although the price is the same, we can accept a full range of German ordnances. If the Japanese government wants to buy it, their artillery will inevitably use British ordnances. So we still have an advantage. Don't we?" Sevilla said calmly.

It is not a secret that the Japanese will enter the game. Shortly after the Spanish bought it, Shuzo Aoki sent a telegram to buy from the UK. Then Muro Osunami came from Europe with great fanfare. The Spanish could figure out what the Japanese wanted to do. After Japan entered the game, the already nervous bidding would naturally become more intense. However, the Spanish were not very worried. The very important point was that Spain could accept German artillery, but Japan should not! After all, is the latter raised by the British?

"This is indeed a question, but it is not impossible to discuss. Why don't we wait and see?" Ruprecht asked back. The Japanese might build ships in other countries, but their weapons are generally made by the British, which has been confirmed in history. The two 10,000-ton armored cruisers built by Japan in France and Germany use British artillery. But this plane is not necessarily the case, because His Royal Highness thinks he has grasped the Japanese's weakness! An unavoidable weakness!

"Haha." Sevilla's face froze slightly, and then hurriedly concealed. He now understood that this time he seemed to have been in vain, but he still wanted to work harder. "770,000 pounds, how about we buy one first?" The price was 20,000 yuan, which was close to the bottom line of the Spaniard.

"Ten birds in the forest are worse than one bird in hand. I know your concerns very well. But I have to say that the West Indies cannot be defended. However, the Philippines can still fight for it." Ruprecht decided to play a big game after careful consideration! The Spanish-American War will definitely break out, and this is not based on personal will. However, there is still room for operation of how the specific process works.

"So what about your country's attitude in an inevitable war in the future?" Sevilla's face changed and she said solemnly. He naturally knew what the prince was referring to.

"The attitude of the empire can only be neutral, and my personal attitude is also neutral, or at least we will not take too tendency to act after the war breaks out. I have to say that your country's procurement is in trouble, and this is very troublesome, and the Kingdom of Bavaria must also consider it by itself."

"But for your personal friend, I am still willing to remind you about some things. When one thing cannot be restored, it is better to give up and focus on another thing. Today, I will say what I say from my mouth, flow in from your ears, and leave this door, I will not admit it." After Ruprecht said that, he leaned on the seat of the body net, leaving time for the other party to think slowly.

In history, the Spanish sent a fleet that was quite a bit worthwhile to the door of Americans' homes, which was definitely a failure, but a fleet of four large warships could face the four battleships of the US Navy, two first-class cruisers, and a bunch of protective cruisers and coastal defense warships? At that time, the US Navy was expected to reach the top five in the world, which might be a little stronger than Italy. Isn't this little Spanish strongman seeking death at his doorstep?

The final result was that in the Battle of Santiago, the Spanish fleet was directly crushed. The Philippines in the Far East was also killed by the weak Dewey fleet. The naval battle in the Philippines was simply a battle of bad luck! The Dewey fleet's possessions were already bad enough, and the Spanish were even worse than Dewey! A typical tragic event that would not die if you don't commit suicide, but it was still a tragic event of death!

So Prince Ruprecht's meaning is very clear. Cubanagada can't hold on anymore. Forget it, let's concentrate on defending the Philippines. If you concentrate your fleet in the Philippines, you have the advantage of geographical advantages. Make more preparations. Then, if you wait for it, you will still have a little chance.

After all, Hawaii is not from the United States now. Although the Americans have controlled well, it lacks the infrastructure to provide a large fleet. In this era, the Panama Canal has not been repaired. After the fleet on the west coast of the United States has to bypass the entire America and go to the east coast. After replenishing, it will take several months to fight. As long as you don’t commit suicide, you can still fight in a good manner. Moreover, the ocean-going seaworthiness of the American battleships is very average. It belongs to the type of offshore NB and ocean-going coffee table. Think about it carefully.

Later, someone asked, since Ruprecht planned to move closer to the United States, why did he help the Spaniards? The Prince's answer was very simple. First, whether the Americans were willing to cooperate with Germany is still an unknown. What's more, this is just a private exchange, and even if it is spread, it doesn't matter. Second, no one remembers your goodness, but it's different to help in time. Germany still has some bases in the Far East. Third, the Prince's answer is simpler - this is a secret!

"This suggestion is really good. Thank you for your reminder." Sevilla nodded. After all, he knew the expansion of the US Navy. By next year, the Americans will have 4 battleships, and there is no future to fight to the death under fair conditions. Sevilla also knew that Cuba could not defend it. Whether for Spain or for his reputation, he naturally hoped to defend the Philippines. There was no place to cherish what was destined to lose!
