1054 The Angry Little Prince
As the saying goes, care is confusing. Perhaps Benjamin is too patriotic and cares too much about Britain's maritime interests, so he is very sensitive to all threats on the ocean, such as that mysterious warship.
"Her Majesty, for the sake of the Royal Navy, please make sure to quickly eliminate Xiao Lotte! The two naval battles between Iquik and Dakar have proved the outstanding performance of this mysterious battleship, and I have also conducted research with naval engineers before..."
"Our experts were very shocked. From the broken intelligence, they deduced some basic attributes of this warship... This should be a purely armored warship. From the keel to the shell, all of them are cast in steel. Only such a hull structure can install a 210-caliber cannon..."
"That's right, judging from the destruction of the two naval battles, the main gun of this warship must be about 210 mm... Give up the quantity and choose power. This idea is very bold. Even our British Navy dare not make such an attempt easily!"
"The power of artillery is increased but the number is reduced, so you can only use rotating turrets to conduct full-angle attacks through the central axis arrangement. This new artillery arrangement will naturally give birth to a new naval battle tactic. This tactic has been verified in these two naval battles..."
"Based on the above, our experts unanimously believe that Xiao Letian has mastered a set of mature new warship technology. What's more terrifying is that he has developed a complete set of new tactics. This is so terrible how did he do it? Can he deduce such a feasible new ideas for naval combat before the new warship was launched?"
"Is he a prophet?"
"Threat! This is the biggest deterrent of our British Navy..." It was enough to say this, but the Queen and the Earl of Derby were already a little shaken, but Benjamin's subsequent words angered someone.
"The greater threat is Prussia! This warship must be produced by Prussia. There are not many countries that can have such an industrial level now. It is absolutely impossible for us and Britain. The United States is now prevalent in isolationism and they will not mix in the battle for maritime hegemony..."
"The Russians and Xiao Lotte are completely enemies. The remaining countries such as the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Italy, Spain, etc. do not have such a strong industrial foundation... The only possibility is Prussia!"
"Only this coal and iron power, only Prussia, which is rich in rigorous engineers and soldiers, is the only country that can produce and is willing to produce warships for Xiao Lotte. This means that Prussia has now fully mastered the production technology of this warship and the tactics that match it!"
"This is the most terrifying place. If Prussia joins the Navy Club, if their strategic focus shifts to the ocean, our British Empire's colonies will be threatened!"
"No, absolutely not... Prussia cannot become a maritime country. He should be a landlocked power under our baton. They are only worthy of eating the leftovers under our trade chain. The British Empire will never allow Prussia to join the competition for maritime power! It is absolutely not allowed..."
"Why!" A childish voice followed by a thump. The door of the concert hall was knocked open. A **-year-old boy walked out of it. His face turned red with anger in his palace dress.
"Say it again! Why can't we Prussia have a navy? Why can't we own a colony? Why should we eat your leftovers? Mr. Benjamin, if you don't give me an explanation, then you will give the entire Kingdom of Prussia..."
Benjamin and Earl Derby saw that the child had appeared, their faces turned red and immediately stood up, "Dear little prince... you misunderstood... you really misunderstood..."
This child is Queen Victoria's biological grandson, and the first grandson, the prince's biological grandson, Prince Carl's son, William Little.
This is the monarch of the Prussian Kingdom in the future, so everyone calls him the little prince. In addition, his current eldest daughter of Queen Victoria, which makes Little William's status very strong and belongs to the top prince in the European aristocratic circle.
Just now, he accompanied his grandmother to listen to piano music in the concert hall, but Benjamin and the others interrupted the little prince's enjoyment. In order to avoid suspicion, the little prince and others came to the small hall on the side of the concert hall, and opened a book to pass the time.
As a result, Benjamin's voice became louder and louder, so loud that William could hear it clearly. At first, he didn't care much. After all, the distant China had little to do with him, but Benjamin dared to attack Prussia in the end, and the little prince was angry all of a sudden.
He ignored the obstruction of the court servants and knocked open the door and whispered to question Benjamin's remarks.
Although Benjamin is a mature politician, he knows that there is something wrong with what he says. Prussia is a country that is married with Britain no matter what. Some words can be said behind them but cannot be put on the surface.
The little prince looked at Benjamin, who was blushing and speechless and said, "Whether Prussia is going to the ocean? The Kingdom of Prussia should make a decision by itself. I would not believe that my grandmother would jamm my grandson's neck and let the Kingdom of Prussia starve and be poor! Do you think my grandson would create a grandmother's rebellion? Will I compete for the marine interests of Britain?"
"Yes, even if Prussia goes to the sea, it is just looking for a way out under the protection of her grandmother's wings. This is my love for me, and this is definitely not a leftover!"
The angry little William's eyes turned red and he turned his head and ran to Queen Victoria and cried and pulled his grandmother's clothes. "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
If you want to say that you are a relative of different generations, it is a true love! Even if Queen Victoria is a politician, don’t forget that she also has a grandmother nicknamed the European royal family. His children and descendants almost monopolized the European high aristocratic circle in the future, and his love for the children is definitely true love.
Especially William, the eldest princess's son, was her first grandson, and she raised it by herself. The nine-year-old William spent more time in London than in Berlin, and his relationship with his grandmother even surpassed his grandfather.
In fact, in the 19th world, there has been a soap opera in which the elderly fight for their grandchildren. Who will raise their grandchildren or grandparents? This problem is as unsolvable as the wife and mother who will save first after falling into the water.
Prince Carl married the eldest princess of the British royal family, and the British national strength must be much stronger than Prussia, so the husband's lineage was a little sluggish at home, and Carl dared not stop the decision of his wife, especially the issue of educating children.
The eldest princess hoped that William would receive education from London, so she brought William to England, grew up under the knees of her grandmother and had a good relationship with his cousin, who was later George V.
It is worth mentioning that during World War I, these two cousins were the most fiercer to fight, but this is off-topic. At least 9-year-old William is definitely the queen's treasure in Buckingham Palace. Who dares to suffer grievances?
"Oh my little William, don't cry, how could my grandmother let you eat leftovers? Benjamin just made an indefinite example. This is Wuxin's words, not that Britain really wants to do... Okay, be obedient, and you can eat with grandmother for lunch later!"
"No... I still want to be a general of the admiral, I must be!"
"Okay, okay, I promise you that when you are eighteen years old, I will definitely make you a general of the Royal Navy. Is it good? Then my grandmother will give you a beautiful warship with a sail as white as a cloud..."
