.On September 7, 1927, more than a hundred warships from countries around the world gathered in the North Sea to participate in a grand celebration to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the birth of the Prussian Navy, the predecessor of the German Empire naval. For a time, warships were everywhere on the sea and flags were covered with sunlight. As Germany's largest naval base, Wilhelmshaven, which was built in 1853, was also full of a festive atmosphere of heavy makeup and heavy colors. The heads of state visiting various countries will inspect the huge world fleet with the German Emperor here.

For this celebration, the main ships of the German Atlantic Fleet, Pacific Fleet, Mediterranean Fleet, North Sea Fleet and Baltic Fleet all sailed back to their homeland. The 15 battleships, 8 battlecruisers, 5 heavy aircraft carriers, and 8 medium aircraft carriers all appeared in front of the world, which gave politicians, generals and military enthusiasts from all over the country a chance to feast their eyes.

As a loyal ally of Germany, Turkey sent three of its best battleships. The Kingdom of Britain is one battleship plus five heavy cruisers. The Irish Navy, the Spanish Navy and the Italian Navy all sent one battleship and one heavy cruiser to come. In addition, there is a battleship from Mexico, two battleships from Chile and one aircraft carrier, one light cruiser from the United States, one heavy cruiser from Brazil, and one light cruiser from Argentina came to Germany as a reference ship.

Until then, although Japan used 1/3 of the navy, 7 army divisions and a large number of fighter jets to defeat the main force of the Australian and New Zealand coalition, the war in Oceania had not ended. The determination of the Australian, new government and military and civilians to resist was unusually powerful with the support of Britain and other countries. Without air and sea power, they fought guerrilla warfare with the Japanese army in the vast mountainous areas of Australia. Although the Japanese army was well-trained and well-equipped, Australia's vast land and complex land of 7.68 million square kilometers.

The situation hurt them. At present, the Japanese military is still considering continuing to increase troops to Australia. However, in order to show off their naval strength, they still sent two battleships of the 1st Fleet, one battle patrol, one aircraft carrier and 22 frigates to form a strong visiting fleet. Germany is just the first stop for this fleet to visit in Europe. Next, they will go to Britain, Ireland, Italy, Turkey, and Egypt, and finally transfer from Southeast Asia to the Australian frontline.

Among the most interesting ships from various countries, the Russian battleship "Nicholas I" may be the Russian battleship "Nicholas I" that came from St. Petersburg. This is the first battleship newly built by the Russian Navy after the ascension of the Russian Empress Diana I. The old "Nicholas I" was an armored battleship with a displacement of less than 10,000 tons. It was captured after being severely damaged in the Japanese-Russian naval battle. The new ship's displacement was 28,000 tons, which was not as good as the German-Japanese battleship. However, it is already the largest battleship in the history of the Russian Navy. It is equipped with three 3-mounted 343mm naval guns and the carrying No. 2 turret muzzles facing the back. This layout is also unique to the Russian Navy.

As the Russian Empress's throne ship and one of the only Russian battleships in the Baltic Sea, the "Nicholas I" attracted more than just the attention. A team of specialized "photographers" took the battleship from all angles. These photos will become a powerful basis for bomber pilots to identify it from the air in the future.

In the autumn of 1927, "Barbarossa" was just a secret of the top leaders of the German army, but all signs showed that the Germans were preparing for war against Russia. Before the diplomatic deteriorated between the two countries, there was still some time left for the Russian government. With this purpose, Diana I, the place of travel, seemed particularly active, and made people feel a decent affinity.

Eleven years later, Chen Tian once again met the Iron Blood Queen of Russia who was praised and criticized by the world. Perhaps this woman carried too much and too much emotion. Chen Tian felt sadness and resentment surged into his heart. After winter and spring, it was time to make a conclusion, but now, he could not write all this clearly on his face.

"Your Majesty, you have not seen for a long time, and you are becoming more and more heroic! Oh, I seem to see His Majesty, Emperor Joseph Franz, when I was young. You have many similarities in God, all full of strength, wisdom and ambition!"

Chen Tian carefully looked at the lady who spoke fluent German in front of him. There were a few traces of time in the corners of Linda's eyes, but her delicate skin and small face shape were still full of youthful vitality. The fragrance on her body was very attractive, but it was no longer the natural and fresh body fragrance she used to be! Today, she was wearing a beige long skirt, with round pearls dotted on her milky white shawl, and an equally exquisite and luxurious ladies' top hat on her head. The overall decoration showed a generous and decent atmosphere.

"Oh. Your Majesty has been awarded for many years. Your Majesty's face is still as beautiful as before, as if the years have never passed. This is really enviable!"

Linda smiled slightly at Chen Tian's completely polite complimentary words, "Your Majesty's praise is really intoxicating! I remember that your Majesty's birthday is approaching, so I specially prepared a small gift. I hope Your Majesty will not be disgusted by it because of its simplicity!"

The attendant wearing classical Russian serf costumes walked to the two of them with a small wooden lacquer box. From the appearance, the box was indeed nothing special. Even if it was carved with exquisite decorations and gold buckles, the price was probably no more than 10 European marks. I guess what was inside was the key.

"I beg your majesty to open it after you go back!" Linda said with a smile.

"Oh? That's good!" Chen Tian took the box and handed it over to his servant.

When the two of them didn't know what to say, Prince Hirokyo Fushimiya, who came to congratulate the Japanese royal family and government, and Yoshiichi Tanaka, who came to congratulate him on behalf of the Japanese royal family and government, came. Fushimiya had been on missions to Germany many times since the South American War. He was familiar with Chen Tian and Linda and spoke a little more easily. He saw that Chen Tian and Linda were standing face to face, so he spoke Japanese with a gaze. The translator then conveyed his original intention:

"The two Majesties stand together, one is comparable to Emperor Alexander and the other is comparable to Emperor Ekaterina. No matter how you look at it, you think it is a pair made of heaven and earth!"

After hearing the messy metaphor of Fushimigu, Chen Tian couldn't help laughing, but thinking about the meaning behind this sentence, he further realized the fact that Russia and Japan were colluding - if nothing unexpected happens, Fushimigu is here as a "child caregiver" this time.

Peace? Marriage? Chen Tian laughed at the vulgar imagination of the two people in front of him. If peace can be understood as the Russians willing to surrender, marriage is to make the two strong together, rather than the powerful party being dragged back by the weak party. Given the current situation in Russia, they are neither willing to make peace. They do not have the conditions for marriage, and they will only become a joke for others. The only thing that can make people imagine is that Chen Tian and Linda lost their wife but were not married, and the other lost their husbands but were not married, but no one would suspect that there was another close person in their bedroom. The secrets of the palace are always longing for but difficult to get something.

"It's been a long time since I've been missing, Your Highness Prince Fumimi Palace!" Chen Tian shook hands with the other party and said with a smile: "Your Highness Prince comes with such a powerful fleet this time. Isn't it that he wants to take over the master?"

After listening to the translator's translation, Fushimigu bowed repeatedly, "Your Majesty, don't misunderstand. This is the emperor's will to promote his country's determination to defend peace, and it is not to show off his strength! In the Pacific and America, his fleet also had a friendly party with the residents of various countries. I dare not fake this!"

"Oh, just a joke. Your Highness the Prince doesn't have to worry about it so much! This is the leader of your new cabinet!" Tan Tian said as he turned his attention to the person behind Fushimi Palace. After the Ruoka Cabinet resigned due to economic crisis and financial problems. Tanaka Yoshiichi formed a cabinet as an opposition party with the support of the political veteran Nishimoto Kotoshi. Although he was an opposition party, the identity of the leader of the Shigeshu clan of Tanaka Yoshiichi should not be underestimated.

"Yes, this is Tanaka Yoshiichi, the current cabinet of our country, the first minister of Foreign Affairs!"

After the official introduction of Fushimigu, Tanaka said respectfully: "Tanaka Yoshiichi's name is known to His Majesty. I am so frightened!"

Chen Tian snorted coldly in his heart. To the Germans, this Tanaka Yoichiko was not a famous figure, but as a descendant like Chen Tian, ​​Tanaka's daimyo meant that Japan had embarked on a comprehensive invasion of China. Tanaka had nothing to praise in internal affairs, but diplomatically made the Japanese government move from coordinating diplomacy to tough diplomacy. The Prime Minister came to power in April, when the war in Oceania had just broken out. Since then, Tanaka not only supported the army to repeatedly increase troops to Australia, but also actively planned the action to annex the three northeastern provinces of China.

"I heard of the famous name for a long time!"

I felt a lot of dissatisfaction in my heart, but Chen Tian still had the same imperial indifference as an emperor, and then shook hands with Tanaka proudly. Japan's ambition was obviously not something that could be controlled by one Tanaka alone. Even if Tanaka was killed, there would be a second Tanaka to lead the evil war of aggression in the future. The source of all evil lies in people's endless desires.

Isn’t his “Barbarossa” also a sinful war of aggression for the Russians? Chen Tian smiled bitterly in his heart.

When all the ships gathered on the sea outside Wilhelmshaven, the grand ship reading began on the morning of September 15. The host's mighty battle fleet announced the celebration of the German Navy with the deafening sound of cannons. This navy walked step by step from nothing to something, from weak to strong, and experienced countless large and large naval battles along the way, many of which were still regarded as classics until a hundred years later. This navy once faced the test of life and death. To the left is sinking, to the right is glory, courage, wisdom and blood, which allowed it to reach its heyday, and will bloom one brilliant fireworks after another at its peak.

Next, Chen Tian inspected the warships of various countries on his ship "William the Great". Each warship sounded a salute representing high respect when it passed by, one after another, one after another, from morning to evening. The honor that could only be enjoyed during the heyday of the British Empire finally became a proof of the prosperity of another country's naval power. On this sea surface, Chen Tian saw more than half of the world's main ships, especially those battleships and battle cruisers that would soon withdraw from the stage of history. This can also be called the last gathering in the era of large ships and giant cannons.

When a lonely, thin but freshly painted warship sailed past in front, Chen Tian recognized the five-colored flag on the mast - from top to bottom, red, yellow, blue, white and black. In 1927, the Beiyang warlords were the legal government of China recognized by countries around the world, and Zhang Zuolin's Fengli warlords were controlling the political situation in Beijing.

That is the cruiser "Haichen" of the Northeast Navy!

Just this summer, the Northeast Navy of the Fengtian clique had just annexed the Bohai Fleet and became the most powerful navy in China. As an independent sovereign country, they sent the cruiser "Haichen" to participate in the 100th anniversary celebration of the German Navy. Before reading the ship, under Chentian's arrangement, the German military not only did not arrange it in the darkest corner, but also repaired and repainted the warship sold in the country for free. When it passed by the German Imperial ship, the entire warship had been renovated.

The people present did not seem to take this small cruiser seriously. Its displacement is only 2,950 tons, equipped with three 150mm naval guns and a quadruple torpedo launcher. It was also a light cruiser purchased from Germany during the Qing Dynasty in the last century. It can be said that it was the oldest warships of various countries. More than a hundred sailors on the ship were neatly dressed on the front and rear decks and on both sides. When the salute sounded, the emperor of the German Empire, Gianluji William III, saluted it a solemn military salute.

Inspired by the German Emperor, the Chinese on the warship opposite also straightened their chests. At this time, all the German naval generals saluted them. A few years later, the Chinese man who was forced to sank the warships to block the waterway were given the due courtesy in this distant Europe.

This time, the order of ships of various countries' ships was arranged according to the country's name, so Japan (j) was arranged behind China (c). Therefore, although the Japanese visiting fleet was powerful, it was inspected by the German Emperor after the Chinese Navy. At this time, Japan and the Chinese Fengtian warlords were still in their honeymoon period, so they did not raise any objections. When the "Weizaka" battleship headed by the Japanese fleet appeared in people's sight, everyone was shocked by the huge body of the warship that had just been completed last year - this long forecastle-type battleship was 250 meters long, with a waterline length of 234 meters, a maximum side width of 308 meters, a maximum draft of 97 meters, and a standard displacement of 43,000 tons, which was simply Yamato of this era!

In contrast, Chentian, the "William Great", completed last year, is the last battleship built by the German Navy. Its standard displacement is 420,000 tons, and its size is similar to the current "Ki" and "Weizhang" in Japan, but it only has four dual-mounted 406mm naval guns, which is slightly inferior to the five dual-mounted 410mm naval guns of the Japanese Kii-class. However, the "William Great" not only has strong defense, but also has a very high degree of modernization. The Hawkeye I-type radar equipped on the ship is Germany's first non-test radar, which can detect ships 10 kilometers away and aircraft 40 kilometers away. Of course, this technology is absolutely confidential to the outside world!
