The crown prince's wedding made the country bathe in a joyful atmosphere, but the Moroccan crisis was always like a flowerpot hanging on the edge of the balcony, which could fall down at any time and smash people into the head. Under the instruction of the German emperor, the army adjusted its deployment in the name of celebrating the royal wedding. A large number of elite troops set off to the western border or along the railway. Workers at the Krupp factory began to work overtime to make guns, cannons and ammunition. A large number of German reserve personnel received orders to wait for battle at any time. The whole country turned to the state of preparation for war like a sophisticated machine.

Under the struggle of romantic reform, it is impossible for France's military to complete effective military mobilization in a short period of time. Ironically, because of fear of Germany's attack, on the same day when the German crown prince's wedding, the French government and parliament forced Foreign Minister Del Casse to resign, and tended to be the foreign minister of Germany's eased French Prime Minister Rovier, who also served as Foreign Minister, advocated direct negotiations between France and Germany to resolve the Moroccan issue. Regarding the French's poor performance, William II commented contemptuously: "I threw out white gloves to the French, and the French dared not pick it up."

(The European tradition is to throw white gloves at the other party during duels)

Although France's weak attitude was to a ridiculous level, the German emperor and his political staff also made a great negligence at this time. They felt that the goal of intimidating the French government by force had been achieved and there was no need to show an aggressive attitude on this issue, so as not to intensify the French military and civilians' sense of hatred against Germany. Therefore, they proposed to negotiate and resolve the Moroccan dispute in the form of an international conference. In the view of German policymakers, France's plan to dominate Morocco has damaged the interests of most powerful powers. When Germany's military dominance is dominant, the great powers should support Germany and suppress France at international conferences. However, this is obviously just a wishful thinking. The German government's initiative was only echoed by the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the cold situation was embarrassing.

With the international situation in the summer of 1905, even if an international conference was not held, Germany would not be at a disadvantage on the Morocco issue. It was an accident that no one expected that the situation would change drastically. In July 1905, at the suggestion of William II, Tsar Nicholas II, who was in a hurry due to the defeat in the Far East war and the domestic revolutionary movement, took a royal yacht to the Gulf of Finland to meet with him. On the German royal yacht "Hohenzollern", William II took out a text of the Russian-German treaty and asked the Tsar about his opinion. Because he was placed in a relationship between the British during the Russo-Japanese War, the Tsar hoped to use the German-Russian alliance.

The treaty strongly returned to London. Unexpectedly, the good wishes of the two empire rulers failed to get the support of their respective ministers. The Russian ministers not only strongly opposed the German-Russian alliance, but also deliberately leaked the content of the treaty in order to disrupt the matter, which immediately aroused strong protests from the French and made the British unable to sit still. At the instigation of the British government, France became tough on the Morocco issue. Faced with the military threat of Germany's mobilization of the reserve army, the French mobilized tit-for-tat and sent large-scale troops to the French-German border at the beginning of the new year in 1906. The two countries were once on the verge of war.

Although the British government promised to send 105,000 expeditionary forces to France, if the two sides started a war, the German army would still be very sure to win. At the critical moment, US President Theodore Roosevelt was invited to mediate and promised to protect Germany's investment in Morocco. On the issue of using cannons or diplomatic settlement of disputes, the German emperor unexpectedly chose the latter, and he decided to send representatives to attend an international conference held in Algeciras, Spain. As it turned out, William II

Shihe, his current Prime Minister Bernhard von Bilo, did not have the diplomatic ability of Bismarck at all. At the Algeciras Conference, except for the Austro-Hungarian Empire supporting Germany, the rest of the powers stood on the side of the French. The isolated German government finally had to accept the "Algeciras Resolution" with the military advantage: France withdrew some of the control imposed on Morocco, but still controlled some important places, and the control of Morocco's police was controlled by Spain.

For the ambitious William II, the Algeciras Conference was an absolute failure. His relatively moderate alliance proposal was severely criticized by the pro-war factions in the country. This failure also gave him an overly absolute concept: it is meaningless to resolve international disputes in the form of multilateral conferences when he has military advantages. At the same time, the German ruling class realized the extreme necessity of establishing a powerful fleet for fighting for overseas colonies and dealing with Britain, a world order arbitrator with no credit.

The Algeciras Conference had a far-reaching impact on Britain, France and Russia. The French saw the benefits of the agreement. They realized that only by uniting Britain could Russia fight against the powerful military Germany. To revenge Germany, to take back Artsas and Lorraine, to wash away the shame of Versailles and Sedan, it was necessary to intensify the conflict between Britain and Germany and Germany and Russia, which made it more inclined to take a provocative attitude towards Germany in all aspects. The British believed that Germany's intention was to break through the existing world order and dominate the world. The strategic focus of the British Empire therefore changed from the Eastern colonies to Europe, and Germany surpassed Russia and became Britain's primary enemy. Soon, Britain and Russia signed the Agreement on Persia, the Exclusive Treaty on Afghanistan and the Agreement on Tibet, which downplayed the long-standing contradiction between the two countries, and Britain, France and Russia were able to truly establish a close strategic alliance.

The year after the end of the Algeciras Conference, El Crow, a senior official of the British Foreign Office, submitted the famous "Crow Memorandum: The Current Situation of Britain's Relations against France and Germany" to the cabinet. The core view is that Germany's pursuit of the status of a "world power" makes the contradiction between Germany and Britain irreconcilable; the evidence is that Germany's pursuit of world powers will inevitably require maritime hegemony, which is inconsistent with the survival of the British Empire; the conclusion is that to maintain the survival of the British Empire, Germany must be defeated in all aspects, and Britain must maintain a tough policy towards Germany. The "Crow Memorandum" has since become the British counter-party.

Germany is politically uglier, military siege, diplomatically isolated, and economically striking the containment policy. In this case, Germany's hostility to the outside world has increased significantly. In a parliamentary speech, the Imperial Prime Minister Von Bilo declared: "A policy aimed at surrounding Germany and forming an encirclement composed of major powers around Germany in order to isolate and paralyze Germany will be catastrophic for peace in Europe. Forming such an encirclement cannot bring pressure on Germany, and pressure will inevitably lead to a rebound. The result of this pressure and pressure resistance will eventually produce explosive results."

Time flies, the completion of the Crown Prince William Stadium, the opening of the "Crown Prince William Cup" and the wedding of Crown Prince William have become stories a year ago. Xia Shu, who was reborn as the German prince Joachim, grew one year longer, and the age of the soul cannot be calculated. The physiological age of this body is 16 years old. This year, the smoke of the Russo-Japanese War gradually dissipated, and the shadow of the Moroccan crisis made most of Europe feel uneasy. Fortunately, the war was finally avoided. Germany, France and Britain each canceled the military mobilization order, and the reserve soldiers were lifted from service and returned to their lives. The trade routes that had never stopped were still coming and going, and they were busy. During this period, the "Bremen Sailors" team

The Royal Royal Cup and huge prizes were won with excellent performance. This event also greatly promoted the development of football in Germany, and the circular football league held within the German Navy and Army has also begun. On the other hand, the Friedrich Royal Shipbuilding Factory, which was handed over by the German Royal Family to Xia Shu, has fully completed the expansion and upgrading. Based on the additional investment of the royal family and Xia Shu's personal investment, the equity structure of the shipyard has changed. Its main shares are still held by the German Royal Family. Xia Shu has changed from a pure operator to a "major shareholder" with 20% of the shares. Another 10% of the shares originally owned by him were distributed as rewards to 7 key personnel of the shipyard including Nicolas Wizel.

By expanding the scale and introducing new equipment and technicians, Friedrich Shipyard not only continued to monopolize the German Navy's high-speed torpedo boat orders, but also successfully obtained the German Navy's 1906-grade large torpedo boat construction orders, responsible for 19 of the 59 total planned ships. This means that in the next four years, its medium-sized docks will all be in full capacity. The number of workers employed exceeded 1,000 not only recreates the glory of the shipyard's heyday, but also has endless potential for people to appreciate.

With the experience of the British Sunnycrov Shipyard, Friedrich Shipyard can win a lot of profits even if it only focuses on torpedo boat construction. However, with the strategic structure of the German Navy, Xia Shu decided to make up for its shortcomings in a public-private win-win form, that is, to use Friedrich Shipyard to design and build more types of naval equipment for the platform. The submarine division led by John Holland showed amazing efficiency. They successfully built the first 150-ton test submarine in the winter of 1905, and with their good performance, they caused
