Chapter 261: The Rapture of Wilhelm II

    On the night of September 5, 1914, at the Wilhelmshaven Naval Base, Kaiser Wilhelm II, Crown Prince Qin Tian, ??Minister of the Navy Marshal Earl Tirpitz, Chief of Naval Staff Marshal von Pohl and others all arrived here. They are here to wee the battlecruiser formation of the Imperial Navy that has returned from a great victory.


    During the naval battle in the mid-Antic, the Imperial Navy severely damaged the British Navy, sank seven battleships and three battlecruisers, and severely damaged one battleship and one battlecruiser. Fell into ecstasy. For a long time, William II has been supporting the development of the navy, for, isn''t it just the hope that there will be such a day?


    Wilhelm II will surpass the British Navy as the target of the German Navy. Although, previously, this seemed like an impossible goal. But now it seems that this goal is within reach.


    At 8 o''clock in the evening, under the illumination ofrge searchlights, the entire military port was illuminated as if it were daytime. One after another, the battleships sailed into the berths of the naval port. It can be clearly seen that these battleships still have bullet marks left in the battle and traces of being burned by the fire. This allows those who have not personally experienced this naval battle to appreciate how difficult this naval battle is.


    But fortunately, the final victory is still the Imperial Navy.


    Admiral Reinhard Scheer, Lieutenant General Hipper and Lieutenant General Spee walked down the gangway and came to William II.


    "Your Majesty, the ministers fulfilled their mission and defeated the British Navy." Admiral Reinhard Scheer said.


    "Okay, very good, thank you for your hard work. I am proud to have generals like you and brave naval soldiers!" William II''s face was full of smiles.


    "The British have been the hegemony of the world for hundreds of years. Therefore, they dictated to the German Empire and ignored the legitimate demands of the German Empire. But now, the German Empire has taught the British a lesson and let them know that the German Empire It''s not so easy to bully. Any act of provoking the German Empire will pay a heavy price. I hope that you will be able to lead the Imperial Navy to greater victories in the future!" William II told Admiral Reinhard Scheer The others said.


    "Yes, Your Majesty!" Admiral Reinhard Scheer and others said.


    Next, William II gave a passionate speech for the returning naval officers and soldiers, which made the naval officers and soldiers even more confident in the future war.


    For the officers and soldiers of the Imperial Navy, this victory has indeed given them full confidence in future wars.


    Everyone, including William II, probably did not expect that this time the war would be so smooth. Although, before the outbreak of the war, the German Navy had already entered the fastne of development, possessing arge number of advanced warships. However, these battleships are only advanced data on paper, and have not been tested in actualbat. So, everyone is a little worried.


    But now it seems that the performance of the warships of the German Navy canpletely suppress the British Navy, which finally makes them feel relieved. At the same time, he has even more admiration for Qin Tian, ??the designer of the capital ship of the German Navy. If Qin Tian hadn''t designed these warships and single-handedly led the construction of these warships, it would have been almost impossible for the German navy to achieve such a brilliant victory.


    Next, there is a grand celebration. The Admiralty has already been at the pier, preparing a lot of food and all kinds of alcohol. Except for the officers and soldiers on duty, everyone can participate in the celebration. This is also of great help in improving the morale of the troops.


    However, William II, Qin Tian and others did not participate in the celebration. They listened to the report of Admiral Reinhard Scheer and others in the conference room of the base, as well as the deployment of the next battle.


    Admiral Reinhardt Scheer, Lieutenant General Hipper and Lieutenant General Spee madebat reports respectively. From their reports, it can be known that although in this naval battle, the number of capital ships dispatched by the German Navy is far inferior to that of the British Navy. But, almost from the start of the fight, they were in the upper hand. And, gradually transformed into an overwhelming advantage. This enabled the German Navy to win a brilliant victory at the cost of a battlecruiser being severely damaged in this naval battle.


    "I didn''t expect that our battleship would be so powerful. Oscar, you did a good job. If the Imperial Navy can defeat the British in this war, you will be the first!" William II said.


    Other senior naval officials also nodded. They have no objection to this statement of William II. Although, Qin Tian didn''t personally go to the front line to fight against the British navy. However, the role he yed was much greater than that. Without the warships he built, the German navy would have been blessed by God, not to mention defeating the British.


    After all, if the shipbuilding ideas of the experts of the Naval Technical Committee are followed, they have always followed the British ass. Although it is safer and will not take detours, it cannot achieve overtaking on curves and surpass the British. Of course, it is now even more proof that the British attach importance to firepower and speed, and underestimate the design ideas of defense, which is fundamentally wrong. The emphasis on defense and survivability that the German Navy has always insisted on is correct. In Qin Tian''s design, this point was brought to the extreme, which enabled the German navy to easily win this battle.


    "Father, marshals and generals, I just did what I should do. Whether the imperial navy can defeat the British navy in this battle is crucial. This is rted to whether we can break through the British navy. The people''s blockade will continue the war. The sinister intention of the British is undoubtedly to use their powerful navy to block our coastline, cut off our overseas trade, and slowly drag us to death. However, after this naval battle , I think the goal of the British should be impossible to achieve." Qin Tian said with a smile.


    "It is impossible for the British who have suffered heavy losses to continue to blockade the German Empire. Our overseas trade may be restarted. Of course, the British will definitely learn from us and attack our merchant ships. Therefore, In my opinion, overseas trade should not be carried out for the time being, and will be restarted after the imperial navypletely defeats the British. Anyway, the supplies the empire had stored before the war are enough for us to use for a long time." Marshal Count Tirpitz said.


    William II and Qin Tian both nodded in agreement.
