Jagged Germany

   Qin Tian succeeded as the acting crown prince of the German Empire, which also caused quite a stir internationally. After all, Germany is one of the most powerful countries in the world, and the change of Germany's heir to the throne is undoubtedly worthy of attention for other countries. Many countries will even adjust their strategies towards Germany because of this, so that they can deal with it calmly in future international exchanges.

  Compared to Crown Prince William, Qin Tian has never been reused before. However, Qin Tian's talent in business has made people have to face it squarely. Now, Qin Tian has become the crown prince of Germany, which makes them have to pay more attention to Qin Tian. After all, as the crown prince, Qin Tian has a huge voice and influence in the country's internal and external affairs.

  Britain, Downing Street Prime Minister's Office, British Prime Minister Sir Henry Campbell Benavan, Chancellor of the Exchequer Herbert Henry Asquith and Foreign Minister Sir Edward Gray are talking about Qin Tian's becoming the Crown Prince of Germany.

   "Gentlemen, Germany has changed its crown prince. Is this a good thing or a bad thing for us?" Sir Benavan asked.

"Your Excellency, I have to admit that Crown Prince William is probably the saddest person in the world. He fell off his horse at such a juncture and fell into a vegetable state. However, compared to Crown Prince William, the newly appointed Crown Prince Oscar is obviously more Difficult to deal with. Crown Prince William is a man of great ambition and talent, but Crown Prince Oscar is different. His business operations are classic. If he is equally good at politics, then we will face a very difficult opponent ’ said Asquith.

  Sir Benavan nodded. As Germany's old opponent, they spared no effort in collecting intelligence from Germany. Naturally, he also knows the high-level people in Germany very well. Judging from the information they have now, Qin Tian is obviously more difficult to deal with than Crown Prince William.

"Your Excellency, the contradiction between us and the Germans is getting bigger and bigger. I can even assert that war will be inevitable. In order to ensure the interests of the British Empire, the only thing we can do is to prepare for war , to crush the Germans in the middle of the war, and crush their ambitions to replace us," said Sir Edward Gray.

  Although, Sir Benarvin also knew this. However, he also knows that once a war breaks out, unless they can win the war in the shortest possible time. Otherwise, there will be no winners in this war. The loser will lose everything, but the winner will also deplete the wealth of the country, and the future will be difficult. Therefore, no matter how you look at it, this is a lose-lose result.

"Is it possible to influence Germany's foreign policy through Germany's newly appointed crown prince. For example, let the Germans give up challenging us. For this, we can even pay certain benefits. In this case, it is the best for us. A good result," said Sir Benavan.

   Asquith and Sir Edward Gray couldn't help shaking their heads. They both thought that Sir Benawen's idea was too naive.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, this is almost impossible. Unless God can come. Otherwise, it is impossible to make the Germans bow their heads. Over the years, the Germans have been working hard to prepare to challenge us. Since they spared no effort It can be seen from the development of the navy. As long as the Germans do not give up their extravagant hope of challenging the British Empire, there will be no peace between us and them." Sir Edward Gray said.

"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister. Until now, we must recognize reality and give up illusions. There is only one war between us and the Germans. Only by defeating the Germans can our colonial system be stabilized, and the hegemony of the British Empire will also be Only then can it be maintained for a long time." Asquith said.

   Prime Minister Bannavin nodded helplessly, even though he believed that there would be no winners in the war. But judging from the current situation, everyone regards war as the only way to solve the current dispute. They all want to defeat their opponents in the war, so as to completely solve their opponents once and for all.

"Hey! Now that the matter has come to this point, let's make all the preparations as possible! Once the war starts, the British Empire must win. And it must be won at the lowest cost. Otherwise, the hegemony of the British Empire will be extremely difficult. It may end because of this. Such a result is absolutely not acceptable to us. We cannot become sinners of the British Empire because of this." Sir Benavan said.

   "Yes, Your Excellency the Prime Minister." Both Asquith and Sir Edward Gray nodded repeatedly.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, we are stepping up liaison with the Russians. If we can reach an agreement with the Russians, then our encirclement circle against the Germans and their allies will be formally formed. This will give us greater control in the war odds." Sir Edward Gray smiled.

  Using the power of other countries to besiege the strongest country on the European continent has always been the usual strategy of the British, and they are also good at it. For hundreds of years, they have played with great proficiency. This was the case with the previous French Empire, which was besieged by the British with a group of countries. And now, it was the turn of the German Empire again.

   "Very well, we can properly give some benefits to the Russians. Everything is to defeat the Germans as the first goal. As long as the Germans are defeated, everything else is not a problem." Sir Benavan said.

   "Yes, Your Excellency the Prime Minister." Sir Edward Gray nodded.

  In January 1907, after Qin Tian became the crown prince of the German Empire, the "Nassau-class" battleship built by the German shipyard began to be fitted out, which was regarded as a congratulatory gift for his succession.

  Two months later, the German Navy's second-level dreadnought ship, the "Witchersbach-class" battleship, started construction in five shipyards.

  In June, the "Blücher-class" battlecruiser that Deutschland Shipyard started to build was launched and outfitted, which made the strength of the German Navy begin to leap.

   While the strength of the German navy continued to improve, the British did not sit idle. They actively carried out the siege of Germany, and achieved remarkable results.

   On August 31, 1907, Russian Foreign Minister Izvolsky and British Ambassador to Russia Nicholson signed an agreement to divide the colony in Petersburg. In this way, the dispute between Britain and Russia on the colonial issue was resolved, allowing the two countries to put aside their conflicts and come together to deal with Germany. The Triple Entente was formally formed.
