In Berlin, the capital of the Kingdom of Prussia, King William I of Prussia was dreaming of unifying the entire Germany and establishing the Great German Empire. Of course, the pace of the Kingdom of Prussia would not stagnate at the German Empire. William I's ultimate goal was to defeat the Chinese Empire and build a powerful empire that dominated the world.

To this end, breaking the old world order and establishing a new world order is just the first step. Next, the Kingdom of Prussia must prepare to challenge the Chinese Empire. To this end, the Kingdom of Prussia must not only continue to develop an already world-class army, but also build a powerful navy above the blank space.

William I knew very well that if there was no strong navy, once the Kingdom of Prussia went to war with the Chinese Empire, it would inevitably fall into a blockade. At that time, the Empire of China could completely drag the Kingdom of Prussia to death with its strong national strength. Therefore, the Kingdom of Prussia had only one way to seize world hegemony from the Chinese Empire, that is, to defeat the Chinese Empire at sea first.

The telegram sent back from Istanbul was sent to William I. After reading it, the expression on his face continued to change. The Chinese Navy actually sold two-thirds of the warships to the Kingdom of Spain, the Kingdom of Belgium and the Ottoman Turkish Empire, which was much beyond his expectations. If the Chinese Navy only sold a small number of warships to the Kingdom of Spain and the Kingdom of Belgium, William I would have been the only one who could have sold a small number of warships to the Kingdom of Spain and the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of Belgium,

It makes sense. However, now only one-third of the warships are left in the Chinese Navy, which undoubtedly makes the Chinese Navy's maritime hegemony prevail. Originally, the main battleship of the Chinese Navy was 24 to zero compared with the Kingdom of Prussia. Now it has become 8 to zero. After the "Brandenburg-class" battleship of the Kingdom of Prussia is put into service, this ratio will become 8 to four. At that time, the strength comparison between the two sides will be further narrowed.

"What do they want to do for those cunning Chinese people? Come and invite General Raihell!" William I ordered.

In order to ensure sufficient benefits were obtained at the Istanbul Peace Conference, the delegation sent by the Kingdom of Prussia to Istanbul this time gathered important officials of the Kingdom of Prussia. The Prime Minister, Foreign Minister, Deputy Chief of Staff and Crown Prince all joined the delegation, which shows that the Kingdom of Prussia attached importance to this Peace Conference. This also made William I have no one to discuss when encountering major events.

Soon, General Raicher, Chief of Staff of the Kingdom of Prussia, arrived. After saluting, William I went straight to the point.

"His Chief of Staff, what do you think of this abnormal behavior of the Chinese?" asked William I.

"Your Majesty, I think the conclusion drawn by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and others is correct. The Chinese sold two-thirds of the warships, which will certainly make the Chinese Navy weak in the next two or three years. However, this is actually not dangerous for the Chinese Empire. The world's maritime power is still in the hands of extremely hard-core allies of the Chinese Empire. Our "Brandenburg-class" battleship will not be able to serve in three years. In the past two years, we have not challenged the strength of the Chinese Navy at all. After our "Brandenburg-class" battleships are put into service, the Chinese Navy's new first-class battleships will definitely be in service. At that time, we still don't have much advantage!" said Admiral Raihell.

William I's face looked a little bad. He originally thought that the Chinese navy's abandonment of martial arts was an opportunity for the Kingdom of Prussia. But now it seems that the advantages are still firmly grasped in the hands of the Chinese Empire. It is still impossible for the Kingdom of Prussia to challenge the Chinese navy's maritime hegemony.

"What should we do?" asked William I. For world hegemony, the Kingdom of Prussia has been preparing for a long time, and William I was unwilling to give up like this. In addition, given the recent series of suppression by the Chinese Empire on the Kingdom of Prussia, it can be seen that peace between the two countries is impossible. If the Chinese navy cannot be defeated, those who wait for the Kingdom of Prussia will be destroyed.

"Your Majesty. Now we have no way out. The confrontation with the Chinese Empire has begun. All we can do now is to put all the chips in. Only in this way can we have a glimmer of life!" said Admiral Raiheer.

William I nodded and said, "I understand! I immediately ordered all major shipyards to start construction of four Brandenburg-class battleships within one month. In addition, the subsequent four "Caiser Frederick III-class" battleships will also start construction. At the same time, the design of the third-class "Vitelsbach-class" battleships must also start as soon as possible!"

The gap between the Kingdom of Prussia and the Chinese Empire was too big. In order to enhance the chances of winning of the Kingdom of Prussia, William I had to desperately build warships. Although this would have invested a lot of money in the Kingdom of Prussia, the Kingdom of Prussia had no way out. If it was defeated by the Chinese Navy, they would truly lose completely.

The Kingdom of Prussia received 1,200 tons of gold from the British as naval development funds. This fund will be used specifically for naval construction. This money is no longer a small amount. More than 1,200 tons of gold is equivalent to 160 million pounds and 320 million gold marks. If it is used to build warships similar to the "Eastern Han-class" battleship, dozens of ships can be built. Therefore, in a short period of time, the Kingdom of Prussia does not have to worry about not having enough shipbuilding funds.

Under the order of William I, the navy of the Kingdom of Prussia developed faster. However, the naval foundation of the Kingdom of Prussia was too weak. Even with the full help of the British, many British people even joined the German navy directly. However, it was still difficult for the Kingdom of Prussia to challenge the hegemony of the Chinese Empire at sea.

The confrontation between the Chinese Empire and the Prussian Kingdom at sea did not attract the attention of the whole world. At this moment, everyone's attention was on Istanbul. As the meeting was approaching, delegations from various countries arrived here one after another. In terms of the victorious countries, except for the host Ottoman Turkish Empire, delegations from other countries had already arrived.

As for the defeated countries, the United States has been completely destroyed, and they are not qualified to send delegations. Of course, the Kingdom of Prussia is very dissatisfied with this. North America is undoubtedly a virgin land that has not been fully developed. Of course, they would not agree to the Chinese Empire if it wants to dominate North America. However, the Navy of the Kingdom of Prussia is still in its inception and cannot cross the Atlantic to interfere in North America. However, this does not mean that the Prussians will not take the opportunity to cause trouble for the Chinese Empire.

The main figures of the British delegation were Prime Minister Stanley, Foreign Minister Earl Granville, and French delegations had two. One was the delegation sent by Napoleon III, which was led by Prime Minister Emile Olivier and Foreign Minister Duke Valevsky. In addition, Louis Charles Philip, the heir of the July Dynasty, also sent a delegation, headed by Adolf Thierre, Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Earl of Karl Ferdinand von Buor, and Foreign Minister Roden Loven. Russia, government adviser Zhukovsky and Foreign Minister Earl Nessel Rodidi. The Italian Kingdom came with the Earl of Government Gafur and Foreign Minister Betino Ricasoli.

In addition, the Republic of Ireland and the Kingdom of Scotland also sent delegations with the support of the Chinese Empire. Although these two countries have been established, they have not been recognized by countries around the world. The Chinese Empire officially hopes to use this peace meeting to integrate the two countries into the international community. This will be of great help to the empire's subsequent deployment in Western Europe.

In addition to the delegations of the Asia-European Military Alliance and the North Atlantic Military Alliance, many neutral countries have also sent special envoys to participate in this peace meeting. Everyone knows that a new world order will be established at this peace meeting. Everyone hopes to have their own place in the new world order.

At 9:00 a.m. on November 6, 1855, delegations from all countries gathered in the large conference room of the Istanbul Palace. This was originally the place where the Sultan met with the Ottoman Turkish Empire, but now it has become the main venue for this conference. Of course, given the too many compromises and exchanges of interests, and the need for private communication between countries, Sultan Abdul Maijid I had already assigned all the rooms near the conference room to this conference.

At the opening of the peace conference, the Ottoman Turkish Sultan Abdul Maijid I made a speech on behalf of the Asia-European military alliance. He was the highest in his position when neither the Emperor of the Chinese Empire nor the King of Prussia was present.

Abdul Maijid I was also very excited to speak in front of representatives from all over the world. In his opinion, this was undoubtedly a good opportunity to increase his international prestige and the entire Ottoman Turkish Empire.

"Gentlemen, ladies. Welcome to Istanbul and contribute your strength to world peace. The war in the past year has caused too much suffering and left countless people homeless. Fortunately, the war has finally ended, and peace has once again come to the world,..."

Abdul Maijid I began his own long speech. This empty and useless speech made everyone drowsy. However, during the speech, Abdul Maijid I did not forget to put the responsibility for the war on the North Atlantic Military Alliance, which made the representatives of the countries of the North Atlantic Military Alliance look ugly. To put it bluntly, this is just a success or defeat. If the North Atlantic Military Alliance won the final victory, how could Abdul Maijid I be so arrogant?
