"Your Excellency, Minister of Foreign Affairs, I have only one goal. Whether I am the crown prince of the empire or an ordinary prince, I hope to do my best so that the empire can defeat the enemy and win the war in future wars. The outcome of future wars is so important, it is related to the future of the German Empire and the Germanic nation. If we lose, the empire will cease to exist, and the Germanic nation will have no future." Qin Tian resolutely answer.

  Qin Tian's answer made von Kidren Wachter a little moved. In many respects, Qin Tian's performance was much better than Crown Prince William's. Von Kidren Waschter believed that Qin Tian was undoubtedly the best candidate for the crown prince of the German Empire. Even Prime Minister Bernhard von Bülow thinks so.

   This also caused the attitude of the civil servant faction in Germany to gradually change, from the previous neutrality to the current clear statement of support for Qin Tian. Of course, they did this to protect their interests. Otherwise, once Qin Tian inherits the throne, he will definitely attack the civil servant faction. They don't want to think of a solution when things come to an end. Investing in advance, although there will be some risks to some extent, will also result in more returns.

"His Royal Highness, His Excellency the Prime Minister and I, as well as other cabinet ministers, all recognize His Highness. From now on, we will fully support His Highness." Von Kidren Wachter said solemnly .

  After Qin Tian heard this sentence, he was very happy. With the support of the civil servant faction, his last shortcoming can be regarded as filled. His crown prince position will also be extremely stable.

   "Is this also what the Prime Minister meant?" Qin Tian asked.

   "Yes, Your Highness. Your Excellency the Prime Minister also meant the same thing." Von Kidren Wascht nodded.

  Actually, the reason why he showed his favor to Qin Tian was entirely on the intention of Prime Minister Bernhard von Bülow.

Qin Tian nodded: "Thank you for your trust and support in me. I promise that in the next few years, I will do my duty as a crown prince. Moreover, I will try my best to ensure that the empire will survive in future wars." Victorious!"

   Next, Qin Tian and von Kidren Wachter exchanged views on the international situation. As a latecomer, Qin Tian naturally knew the direction of history. Many of his views, although very novel, are also recognized by von Kidren Wascht. This also makes von Kidren Wacht very grateful for today's choice. No matter what, it is better to support a truly talented person than to support a person who is ambitious, talented and ignorant!

  In the afternoon of the next day, the battleship "Nassau" arrived at the mouth of the Thames. It's not far from London. According to the previous notice of the British government, after the warships of various countries arrive, they will berth at the port of Grace. When Prince George ascends the throne, a grand ship review ceremony will be held at the estuary of the Thames River. Warships from various countries will also participate in this ship review ceremony.

   "We will arrive in London soon. Next time, our warships will have to defeat the British if they want to arrive here!" Qin Tian said with emotion. This place is not far from London, the capital of the United Kingdom, and has always been the focus of British defense.

  The battleship 'Nassau' has encountered British Navy ships many times after entering the Thames estuary. However, they are basically destroyers or cruisers.

   "Your Highness, we will definitely have the opportunity to come here again!" A young general stood beside Qin Tian and said to him. He is the Chief of Staff of the High Seas Fleet, Rear Admiral Reinhard Scheer.

  Qin Tian nodded, convinced of this. Compared with another time and space, the current German navy is not even a little bit stronger. In the Battle of Jutland in another time and space, the German navy achieved tactical victories. Then, in this time and space, the German Navy will have a greater chance of winning. As long as the British navy can be defeated in the naval battle, Germany will win this battle.

  Major Admiral Reinhardt Scheer is also an admiral that Qin Tian values. In another time and space, he was the commander of the High Seas Fleet. In terms of personal ability, it is undoubtedly very good.

  The battleship 'Nassau' continued to sail westward, but half an hour later, it was discovered that there were two more battleships of the British Navy ahead.

   "Your Highness, the British have sent battleships to meet us!" Major General Reinhard Scheer said.

   "Welcome us? I don't think so. The British sent two battleships at once, and the elements of the demonstration may be bigger!" Qin Tian said with a smile. He didn't care about these little tricks of the British at all.

   "The two battleships of the British look smaller than our battleship 'Nassau'!" Foreign Minister von Kidren Wachter said.

"Your Excellency, Minister of Foreign Affairs, this is due to the distance between them. In fact, the two British battleships are not much smaller than our battleship 'Nassau'. According to the data we have obtained, the displacement is only 500 less. It’s just a ton. However, in terms of combat effectiveness, our battleship 'Nassau' can definitely defeat the British battleships. Even if one is used to deal with two ships, the chances of winning are very high." Major General Reinhard Scheer , appearing very confident.

  Although the displacement of the 'Nassau-class' battleship and the 'St. Vincent-class' battleship are similar, the firepower and defense of both sides are still dominated by the 'Nassau-class'. The defensive power of the 'Nassau-class' battleship is stronger than that of the 'Saint Vincent-class' battleship that pursues speed too much. Similarly, the 305mm main gun with fifty times the caliber of the "Nassau-class" battleship is far superior to the British "St. Vincent-class" battleship in terms of armor-piercing ability.

  While Qin Tian and others were discussing about the British battleship, a young British admiral on the battleship 'St. Vincent' of the British Navy was also observing the battleship 'Nassau' with a telescope. He is Brigadier General David Beatty, captain of the battleship St. Vincent of the British Navy.

"Huh! The battleships built by the Germans are really ugly. The short and thick hull looks like a fat pig, not at all as beautiful as the battleships of the British Empire, just like a work of art. Brigadier General David Beatty put down the binoculars in his hand and said disdainfully. As a noble admiral of the Royal Navy, he has his own pride.
