Chapter 52 The Famous People in History 1
"Aren't you going to smash a champagne bottle at the bow?" asked the time traveler carefully.
"Your Highness, that's the launch ceremony. Baron Vittorio had already knocked on champagne for you a year ago. Is this a service ceremony?" Earl Schelling said with some heartache. Since quarreling with the Russians, Earl Schelling felt that his master was completely out of shape!
"Tell me about the activity arrangements below." The time traveler rolled his eyes and asked.
"You just sit here and wait until the Admiralty Department name this warship, and then the officers and soldiers will be reviewed by Prince William and the Russian Crown Prince, and the captain will arrange for officers and soldiers to board the ship. The service ceremony will be over."
"What you really need to care about is the subsequent visit. Senior officers from both sides will participate in this new warship and have lunch at the Officer's Restaurant. You will meet with the two princes, and you should know the content of the talks." Earl Schelling reminded.
"Oh, I understand. Before doing the serious business, I only need to be a passerby first and then have a meal. It's not bad, it's quite relaxing." The time traveler said with some depression. He was afraid of trouble, but he refused the speech arranged by Prince William and asked Baron Vittorio to attend. Now, it's good that I'm so relaxed.
During the time traveler was an audience, Prince William first delivered a passionate speech, saying that it took only 2 years for the Mainz armored cruiser to be put down his first keel to be completed and put into service. This speed is unprecedented. Brom-Foss Shipyard and the Bavarian Ship Design Bureau have completed a miracle in industrial history! The continued service of Munich-class armored cruiser will inevitably enhance the Imperial Navy's ocean-going combat capabilities. The future is bright, so everyone should work hard!
The Russian Crown Prince then appeared. Compared with the German Crown Prince's nonsense, what Nikola said was a bit intriguing! In the speech, the Russian Crown Prince did not hide his anger towards the small country in the Far East. The deep scar on his face twitched as the facial muscles contracted.
"On the other side of the earth, a dwarf who has not yet entered a civilized society holds a short knife in his hand. It stares at the Far East with greedy eyes! Like a robber trying to take away interests that do not belong to him from the hands of various countries. For this evil goal, they spent more than ten years honing their weapons. In the upcoming war, which other countries in the Far East will be victims! Do we ignore the actions of our opponents and do nothing? Are we retreating because there is a huge figure behind the barbaric robber? No! Absolutely not! We must defend our rights with blood and fire!"
"Damn, so NB? Although there is no British person here, is it really okay for you to say this?" The time traveler suddenly felt that things were a little out of control. Russia and Germany would not reach any agreement on the Far East issue, right? Although we know that there was a three-country intervention in Liao after the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, it was too early now?
After this incident happened in history, Russia did not react so much. So what is the reason? Time travelers fell into deep thought. Soon, they also gave a general idea. Russia's current external environment is much better than in history! The reinsurance treaty not only relieved Germany's pressure, but also made Russia's external environment much better!
Let’s look at Russia now. The trade and financial ties between Russia and France determine that no matter how bad the relationship between the two countries is, it will not be too bad. The renewal of the Russian-German reinsurance treaty and the subsequent trade war ended, made both sides become friends. Austro-Hungary would not dare to stab at the slaughter without Germany’s support. So who is the enemy of Russia now? I’m afraid it’s the UK that hangs alone outside the continent?
The environment is great, we will win directly by A! If Russia hadn't been unable to reach the forefront of the Far East and could not face the British Far East Fleet, I'm afraid the Russian government would have taken advantage of the issue and directly aided Japan! A letter from William II gave the possibility of further contact between Russia and Germany.
"Your Highness, it's time for us to board the ship." Earl Schelling reminded that the princes and accompanying personnel of the two countries have left first. According to their status, it's time for themselves. The corresponding person is also a historical celebrity - Admiral Andrey Alexander Drovich Popov!
The most classic and tragic thing about this guy's life is that he designed a circular warship, which has become the most coffee table in the history of world shipbuilding! Now, he is the highest representative of Russia except the Russian Crown Prince.
"Your Highness, please ask first." Popov stood up and said first. The time traveler nodded. After all, his prince's sign is still very intimidating, the future king! And just as he stood up, he saw someone who had a conflict with him just now!
"Oh, no wonder it looks familiar. Isn't this guy Makanov who has appeared on many PDFs? The unlucky guy who was solved by a mine in the Japanese Navy!" The time traveler finally remembered his identity. At the same time, Makanov also felt that he was being watched by the other party, and his heart was beating violently! He could catch up with the three-expanded vertical steam engine that was moving at full speed!
"Forget it, I won't ask for trouble for that guy." It's a bit of a loss for him, a prince, to find trouble for the major general. The time traveler glanced at the other party and boarded the new armored cruiser under the guidance of the guide.
I have to say that looking at the photos is a feeling, standing on the dock is a feeling, and after boarding the battleship, I stepped on the thick teak deck, touched the thick 280MML40 artillery, and looked at the high and upright mast. It was another feeling. Although the Munich was not big, it still shocked the traversers who boarded a large warship for the first time.
"Your Highness, please go here." The visitor said respectfully.
"Yes." The time traveler nodded and walked past the officer, but after walking for a few steps, he turned around suddenly! It felt like this accent was a bit like a Bavarian!
"Are you Bavarian?" asked the time traveler calmly.
"Yes, my hometown is Wilheim, my family is a wine-making family with a very historical heritage. Some of the wines in your palace come from my family." The officer's attitude was even a little humble.
"So it's my own person, so if you have the chance, you can consider promoting it." The time traveler suddenly became interested. Well, promotion also has to go the curve. At least he doesn't have the right to do so, please ask Tirpitz. By the way, where did Tirpitz go? I didn't see him!
The time traveler intends to ask what the eternal Tirpitz is doing. According to status, he should be ranked fourth or fifth, so what about people now? But soon, the time traveler doesn't care about finding Tirpitz!
Dear book friends, this guy is also a powerful guy. Can you guess who it is? If you guess, the author will add a new one~~~. A very famous person.
