Chapter 1134 This is not over yet 2

There was no compromise or concession in the prince's words! This made everyone present feel uneasy and even a little scared. The prince is famous for his toughness. At first, his fight against Krupp could only be said to be casual. But in order to promote his ideas, he could even ignore the face of the Prussian Army and the Kaiser on the training ground and put the enemy far ahead of Bavaria. The legion-sized Prussian army was pressed to the ground and rubbed. This courage and determination made everyone present feel uneasy. It can even be said that in today's Germany, no one except the Kaiser has the ability to really have trouble with this prince.

Moreover, what if you really plan to make it difficult? Is what you are doing working? Yes, Prince Heinrich, Tirpitz and others could submit their reports to the Kaiser and explain their unoptimistic views on naval aviation. It really made the Kaiser suspicious.

But equally, if the prince asks for another exercise, or even allows the Kaiser to observe it in person, it will definitely be done! Apart from anything else, the prince's status, strength and achievements were enough for the Kaiser to come to Wilhelmshaven. The Kaiser must give him this face! The Kaiser could not give face to his brother and could replace Tirpitz when necessary.

But if the prince really wrote a fiery letter, the Kaiser would have to come whether he wanted to or not. Think about it, in history, when Scheer became commander of the High Seas Fleet, the Kaiser could come to the Navy and personally announce that he would delegate command to Admiral Scheer. So what if the prince asked the Kaiser to come to Wilhelmshaven in winter? Anyway, there won’t be any big action on the east and west fronts in winter.

"Your Highness, I think we should first focus on how to break the British Navy's blockade of the North Sea. This issue of naval aviation can be discussed in the long term. After all, the Wittelsbach still has several months left to serve. So do you think it's better first? Slowly?" Admiral von Boll on the side also felt that something was wrong with the limelight.

"I have my own arrangements, so you don't need to worry about this matter." After the prince said that, he turned his eyes to Prince Heinrich and Tirpitz again, his eyes making them feel like a double-barreled shotgun. Very uncomfortable...

"Damn it, something is going to happen!" Tirpitz felt that he was overplaying his hand. To be honest, the choice of the target ship this time was actually due to his manipulation. This was not because he was biased against the prince or deliberately opposed him. But because he thought the prince was making a fuss. It will cost at least 50 million marks to modify two high-speed cruise ships. Spending so much money to invest in a completely new field, especially during a war, was too risky.

But it is obvious that he is no match for the opponent, so he seems to be able to limit the size of the aircraft carrier through some other means, and then invest the remaining funds in it. After all, the Germans are not the British, and the naval funds will never be enough. ! Therefore, he suggested to the people below to get a "smaller" one when choosing a target ship... In his opinion, this matter is not a big deal, but if the prince is allowed to hold a grudge against him, then no matter how small it is, it will become a big deal!

Actually,

Historically, Tirpitz had a lot of interference with naval armaments, such as the choice of artillery caliber. German battlecruisers were actually able to carry 12-inch guns or even 15-inch guns very early on. (For example, the original Mackensen plan had 6 15-inch guns) but they were all abandoned because of him. Tirpitz was more concerned with budget issues, and had a very limited understanding of the performance of battleships. It can be said that Tirpitz was to blame for the problem of the German fleet's large ships and small guns. And this time, Tirpitz's old problem in history happened again...

But it is a pity that this time, Tirpitz faced not his subordinates, nor the easy-to-fool Kaiser, but the prince who wanted to make the naval aviation force bigger and stronger, and was ready to intervene in the naval personnel work. !

"Is this okay? We still maintain the original plan. I will not mention the results of this exercise in the report. If you are willing to use high-speed merchant ships to modify the two aircraft carriers, just modify them directly."

Prince Heinrich really felt like he was riding a tiger now. To be honest, he had not colluded with Tirpitz. He came here just to take a look. According to the Kaiser's words, he came from a neutral and impartial perspective. look at this exercise. The prince directly asked the Kaiser to come in person, which already contained his dissatisfaction with him. So, now Prince Heinrich is thinking about how about everyone taking a step back and letting it go? !

"Do you think I'm being angry? I'm the Crown Prince of Bavaria, so I'm betting on you? Wrong! You are all wrong! I just want everyone to face the importance of aviation! I admit that I was right this time, so I I just want to do it again. Is this too much? If you think it is too much, please speak up." The prince said without giving in at all.

"Your Highness, everyone can accept this result. You still ensured that the previous plan can proceed smoothly. And we have also avoided some trouble. And if the Kaiser comes and the second exercise is still not good, then reduce the number of aircraft carriers Tonnage and budget are the inevitable result, and you can't change it. Have you thought about the risks involved?" Tirpitz said.

"Then I admit it!" The prince's answer was extremely simple!

"Okay, let's get ready. I believe there is a 70% chance that His Majesty will come and take a look. Neither you nor we should let His Majesty down." Seeing that things have reached an irreversible situation. Tirpitz could only agree, and the two sides prepared for the next back-to-back exercise.

Of course, Tirpitz will not signal any further obstacles this time. An unfriendly action may still be forgiven, but if it happens a second time, they will really become enemies. The two sides just have different philosophies, so there is no need for them at all. You can't do it! What's more, in Tirpitz's opinion, if a warship is really chosen as a target, the situation will only be worse than now! After all, most of the German battleships are fast battleships. Even a ship that can hit 8 knots is so bad, let alone a faster battleship? !

"What will happen if there is another discrepancy between His Royal Highness Crown Prince Ruprecht's expectations and reality this time?" After breaking up, Tirpitz walked up to Prince Heinrich and asked. .

"Well, maybe it won't be anything like that. After all, the navy still wants him to be in charge. Even if the prince fails in the next battle, His Majesty may not remove the prince from the navy. After all, we can't find anyone better." Prince Heinrich glanced at Tirpitz, and then said meaningfully.
