If everything is as expected by the Japanese, with the cooperation of the British, Japan will really be able to defeat the enemy without fighting. If nothing else, at least it is possible for the US and Japan to occupy it. As long as it does not fight, it can be discussed together. The Americans are not stupid and know that they cannot take action at some time. For example, in Samoa, both sides have been struggling for more than ten years, and have not fought but failed? But this result is something that Prince Ruprecht cannot accept! How can you fight to death if you don’t fight?

Therefore, this cannot be done, and the Japanese must fail to deter the Japanese, and at the same time, it must make the Americans feel that they have a chance! Therefore, the delivery date of these two warships must be postponed! If the Japanese Navy only has two second-class battleships and two 10,000-ton armored cruisers in its hands, then will they get on the US fleet? Or will they not get on?

Of course it is the former! It’s now, what else can I retreat? The Japanese will definitely go on! And after learning that the Spanish-American War broke out, their actions may be faster than those of the Americans! Japan has troops stationed in Tainan, how long does it take to depart from Taiwan to the Philippines? Dewey at least has to wait for domestic telegrams. And the starting point of the US fleet this time is likely to be Samoa instead of Hong Kong!

What will the Americans do when the Japanese take the lead? Ruprecht is not easy to infer this point. After all, this incident has not happened in history, and Japan can send a large number of troops to the island as soon as possible by relying on its geographical advantages, and then create a certain fact. It is really hard to say what the Americans do at this time, but considering that the Japanese fleet has not yet obtained the most important two chips, the confidence may not be very strong. In the case of lack of confidence but not a disadvantage, the Japanese may take risks.

Maybe the Japanese government would calm down, but radio was not popular in this era. When the news reached Japan and the Japanese cabinet held a meeting and then came to the fleet, the daylily was cold. The Japanese fleet might be desperate. After all, the strength of both sides was roughly equal. At this time, whoever takes action will have the advantage! The Americans also have reasons that they can't bear it. After all, in history, the Americans' army came three months after the end of the Battle of Manila... If the Japanese were allowed to occupy it, the Americans would not have to come three months later!

Therefore, both sides have reasons to fight, and the situation is that those who take action first have the advantage. In this case, His Highness the Prince really can't guess who will take action first! Of course, it doesn't matter who takes action first, as long as the fight can be fought in the end! When both sides are bound to win, the possibility of peaceful coexistence is even smaller.

After all, if you can't solve the problem with your mouth, you have to use your fists. Japan, which has a geographical advantage, will definitely garrison troops on the major islands of the Philippines, and the Americans must stop all this. Well, it will be inevitable to get fire! Because sometimes this thing is not something that can be controlled by reason, and you can't expect thousands of people in the entire fleet to be rational, right?

Of course, these two warships will eventually be sent to the Japanese. Japan wants to make enemies with the United States, so what kind of enemies cannot be solved for the United States? Naturally, all Spanish colonies in the East fell into the hands of Japan. So according to the script arranged by His Highness the Prince for Japan, it is like this: the process is tortuous, but the result is certain, and the Philippines must be Japan!

Therefore, according to this script, His Highness the Prince plans to deliver these two warships later. It is hard to say when it is specific. If everything is the same as in history, Ruprecht plans to deliver it in early April, and it will be mid-April after the Japanese and British have arranged it. If it is included in the return flight, it may have to be delayed until around May before returning to Japan. At that time, it is estimated that the United States and Japan have already fought. What if it is different from history? It really depends on the situation. The prince has no better way.

As for delay, this is too simple. For example, a minor engineering accident caused the warship to tilt a little, or a certain part was shortened, or it was simply said it was not completed. Anyway, the ship was bought by Brazil on the surface, and Brazil was not in a hurry to use it. It was just not a big deal for Bavaria. And if it was really delayed until the war between the United States and Spain started, the United States and Spain might really be buying it! At this time, His Highness the Prince believed that with the strength of the Americans, the price would still be doubled! After all, there was no more suitable warship in the whole world at this time! If Japan knew about it, don't make a fuss!

The script has been written and everything is ready. Just wait for actors from all sides to arrive and then start acting! Look at how many countries are involved, Japan, Britain, the United States, Spain! Well. Wait, there seems to be a less important actor. Thinking of this, Ruprecht focused his attention on the north side of the map, the huge huge country that accounts for almost one-sixth of the world!

"Russia! There are also Russians! They may also take action. Especially when things are delayed longer, the greater the possibility of the Russians taking action!" Ruprecht said to himself. What country is Russia? As long as they are in their own place, they will always use various opportunities to fight for profit. Not to mention anything else, Russia's biggest enemy in the Far East and the United States will start filming, it would be strange if the Russians can sit still! At least they have to threaten it with force!

His Highness the prince remembered what he said when he scared the Russians back then. They should be very nervous now? Even the warship Nashimonov, which was already slightly outdated, has been sent over, but at least the ship has a displacement of 8,500 tons, and has the firepower of 6 8-inch guns and 5 6-inch guns. It is still very intimidating on paper! If only Russia is one, it may not dare to fight against the strengthened Japanese Navy, but if Japan and Spain go to war with the United States at the same time, it will not be certain. If Russia participates in the war, what attitude will Britain have? This is intriguing.

It is difficult for His Royal Highness to grasp Russia's attitude, but now it is obvious that the Russians plan to restore relations... Although there is no intention to purchase new warships, there are still many discounts in terms of grain exports and army equipment. For example, the food sold to Bavaria is about 8% cheaper than the food sold to other parts of Germany.

Just as His Highness gradually refined the layout of the future Spanish-American War, the Japanese personnel responsible for picking up the ship had already set off from Japan. I don’t know if it was intentional or coincidentally, the two people who picked up the ship this time were the prince’s old acquaintances, one was Hirahachiro Togo and the other was Hiroyuki Uemura. Acquaintances! We fought in the Far East back then, and your two ships were sunk by brother!
