C848 Bismark's new plan

The Zhiyuan Warship was a secret weapon shared by Prussia and the Ryukyu. For his safety, everyone racked their brains to perfect this great adventure.

This was an unprecedented adventure. A steamboat that had not been tested by the ocean had to sail for a long distance across half of the Earth. Furthermore, it couldn't be resupplied or repaired at the port.

This was not a mission that an ordinary person could complete, but this time, Xiao Letian had chosen different people from Class 1, and they were all top students of Class 2, Class 3.

Ryukyu, the foreign students, as well as the later military students were all fanatical fans of Xiao Letian. Their brain had already been washed so deep that they would not hesitate to travel to the moon, let alone cross the Atlantic and the Pacific Ocean.

Indeed, the people of the later generations all said that the German was strict, stubborn, and meticulous. Actually, this was originally the personality of the Prussian, but after the unification of Germany, it gradually became the label of the entire German.

A group of fanatics, plus a group of obstinate lunatics who did not know how to give in to difficulties, combined with any unimaginable problem, would not make them cower.

People began to plan the details of the adventure in detail. Countless uninhabited islands were linked up with pencils on the Atlantic map. The inhabited fleet didn't dare to approach them, but they definitely had to make good use of these small islands to replenish at least some fresh water and food.

Kevin was the Chief Designer. He knew where the weakness of the battleship was, so he had to prepare a large number of spare parts. On the vast ocean, if there were any problems, he had to at least be able to do some simple repairs.

Even Fang Guan had to busy himself to prepare delicious meals for them. After 24 hours, they finally managed to draw up a map of the sea for the fleet, as well as a list of items that they needed to prepare in advance.

Just as the Voltaire Shipyard started to split up to purchase supplies, they received another VIP. The Prussian Iron Blood Prime Minister Bismark had secretly visited Shi Qqing.

The old man stood at the bow of the Zhiyuan Warship, touching the 210mm dual Krupp main cannon. He stayed silent for a whole fifteen minutes, while Karl and King Yi stood behind him without saying a word to show their respect.

"I'm sorry …" It took a long time before Iron Blood Prime Minister opened his mouth, "Actually, at the very beginning, I always thought that you and Xiao Letian were messing around and playing a game that wasted money. But Xiao Letian was the one who provided the funds, so I didn't say anything …"

"But a year ago, when the main body of the dragon bone and the deck of the ship closed, I secretly came here once … That time, my opinion was a bit loose... Until now, I can only apologize to you all! "

"Honestly, if you had wanted to build a battleship like the British Warrior, I would have approved with both hands, not only that I would have given money to our Prussian navy, but that we would have built one as well. When I saw Xiao Letian's blueprint, I felt that he was a madman! "

"There are only three main cannons, two secondary cannons, eight small defensive cannons …" The main cannon still needed to rotate, and if it wasn't spinning, it still needed to be split into axes... At that time, I really did not think highly of this battleship! "

"But today, I realized that I was wrong. Xiao Letian had completely created a new mode of warfare in the ocean! He would never have designed such a warship without a complete set of new naval warfare ideas and tactics in his head! "

Hearing that the Prime Minister was blaming himself, Karl and the King Yi quickly explained, "You don't have to be so self-reproachful. This battleship has never been tested on long distances, nor did it undergo actual combat.

"No, you don't have to help me. Right or wrong is wrong, my intuition would never lie to me. When I stood here, I already had a premonition that he would become the king of the sea! Xiao Letian's line of thought is correct, I now believe without a doubt … "

Saying that, Bismark laughed: "The self-criticism is over, now I am going to give everyone a big gift, I have a new plan, everyone can go over it …"

The three of them sat around the deck and soon whispered to each other. Not long after, the King Yi raised his head excitedly and shouted out to Fang Guan, "Fang Guan, come here!"

Bismark was indeed worthy of being called a temporary hero in Europe. His plan stunned Karl and King Yi as both of them exclaimed in their hearts, "This is the realm!"

That night, Fang Guan rode the train south. She had received an invitation from the Dutch side to attend a Count's party. Three days later, Fang Guan's beautiful song came out from the villa in Amsterdam.

The Netherlands is currently under the rule of the William II, and right now, the Netherlands no longer has the glory of being a sea coachman. Even with the independence of the Belgium, the Netherlands can only helplessly nod and admit that right now, the Netherlands only hopes to retain a limited number of colonies around the world.

The move towards a neutral foreign policy had instead boosted the Dutch economy. The Amsterdam had not only taken control of the price of spices in Europe, but also the control of the flower market.

The peaceful and prosperous small countries were blissful, and Fang Guan was very attractive to the Dutch, Belgium and Switzerland in accepting invitations to perform.

The atmosphere became more relaxed as a good person. They were willing to say a few more words, but after three to five glasses of red wine, people started talking about the civil war in Spain and the general of the Reformist, Juan'er. Prim had already surrounded Madrid with his rebel army, and the Queen's army was being pushed back. Any militant or politician would have despaired of Yi Suobeila's rule.

The Europeans were just as fond of gossiping as the rest of the world. Since 1843, Queen Yi Suobeila who had ruled Spain was one of the most popular gossips in Europe.

Yi Suobeila had ruled over Spain for 25 years now, and the lives of the people had not improved at all. The loss of the overseas colonies, the Queen's innumerable lustful lovers, and it was said that even his own son had been secretly born into an affair with a guard.

Private life was in disarray, and internal affairs were in vain. In 25 years, 34 governments had been changed, leaving behind groups of deceitful officials. The government was completely corrupt.

This kind of person was destined to be the laughingstock of the European royal ball. If it wasn't for the fact that Yi Suobeila and the French Bourbon dynasty were inextricably linked, this woman would not even be able to last ten years under their rule.

As a rookie in the European courtesan kingdom, Fang Guan was extremely familiar with these secret events. One after another, fake and true jokes and lies always made everyone burst into laughter, and very soon, many people joined in on the conversation.

The atmosphere was getting better and better, and they were drinking more and more wine until finally, Fang Guan, who was drunk, unintentionally revealed a secret, a secret that shocked all of the Frenchmen present.

It turned out that before the rebellion had begun, Prim and Serrano had secretly carried out it with Prince Leopold, a distant relative of the German royal family. The Interim Government actually wanted to choose a German to be the king of Spain.

The faces of the Frenchmen who had been toasting each other changed. They put down their glasses and left the party. The shocking battle of Spanish succession began.
