Chapter 305： Continuous fermentation (1/2)
”The Portuguese are scared! These cowards actually want to use words to separate the two countries in Germany that are as close as brothers! It is a pity that this time, we will not forgive them anyway, do you think? Rupley Hit?” William II said with a smile after throwing aside the newspaper in his hand.
”That's it, Your Majesty, the Portuguese gave us an excellent excuse.” The prince lied and said.
”Then, my respected Mr. Admiral, when can our fleet launch an attack on Portugal? I can't wait now.” There was a combative light in William II's eyes!
”It’s not yet possible. The Portuguese dare to challenge the dignity of the empire, the fundamental reason is that other countries support, the Russians have no reason to do so, the British have no kung fu, then the only possibility is the French! Their fleet in Africa It is the Portuguese's greatest support! And before our other two warships arrive in Africa, we should not take drastic actions!” The prince shook his head and said.
”Damn Frenchman, they never stopped fighting against Germany. Is our fleet in Africa enough? Do you need to send some more warships?” William II said angrily.
”No, even if the worst happens, Count Spey and Colonel Hipper have a 70% chance to kill the French! And our fleet left in the homeland can directly frighten the French, or drive to the shore of Portugal. , Aim at Lisbon with the naval gun!” The prince said calmly.
”But before that, we need to defeat the Portuguese in public opinion! They said that this dispute is only an economic issue, and it is aimed at companies of the Bavarian royal family, so good, we need to change this trend! For domestic propaganda, Change it to a provocation against the German Empire!”
”In terms of external propaganda, we need to continue to describe the Portuguese colonial authorities as slave traders in a new era! Of course, it would be better if there were more uprisings in these two colonies at this time!” After thinking about it.
”Leave these things to others. We now need to formulate a complete set of military plans. Today, the German Empire is not obtained by negotiation and pomp! We will finally end all this with a thunder strike, right?” The emperor felt a little dull at what the prince said, and interrupted directly.
”We have done everything that should be done in the military. In fact, we can use this incident to test the reliability of the German allies!” Although the prince was dissatisfied, he gave up on the news and diplomatic issues, but changed it. Another topic of interest to the Kaiser.
”How reliable are allies? Haha, Fritz is your father-in-law, I think the Austro-Hungarian Empire will support us, and Italy should also follow this agreement?” The German Emperor said with a smile. ”But to be honest, Italy is too weak and too timid. They probably won't do anything.”
”It would be fine if Italy didn't move. I'm even more worried. Italy will stand on the side of France. In fact, I have doubted the value of alliance with Italy a long time ago. They are not a reliable and powerful ally.” The prince sneered.
”They have no reason to help the French?” William II said with a frown.
