One day in mid-November 1934, the island of Rügen, in northern Germany, was bathing in the warm sunshine. With a loud roar, a large seaplane with four engines landed on the sea surface adjacent to the dock. It has a pure white paint like clouds, and its fuselage is much spacious than ordinary aircraft, and its contour lines are therefore very full. The middle of the fuselage is equipped with a thick canard-like balance plate. When it moves on the water at a faster speed based on its own power, the fuselage stability is significantly better than that of ordinary seaplanes. This is the Irish design. The intercontinental aircraft "Libertarian 1" has been in service for nearly ten months. It uses a supercharged engine with a maximum ceiling of 12,000 meters and is equipped with a fully sealed supercharged cabin. It has the ability to fly passengers at high altitudes and a range of 7,200 kilometers, which is enough to conduct non-stop transatlantic flights. Two months ago, this long-range seaplane took off from Stockholm, Sweden, and arrived in Istanbul through the Baltic, North Sea, Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea. It completed a very successful flight around Europe, causing a lot of sensation along the way.

As the latest masterpiece of the Irish aviation industry, the cost of "Libert 1" is as high as 3.3 million yuan, or about 1.6 million marks. After mass production, the estimated cost of a single aircraft can be reduced to 1.2 million marks, which is more than three times that of the German heavy bomber Ju-28. If the corresponding airborne weapons are assembled according to the design plan, this "intercontinental flight ship" will become the most expensive military aircraft in history. Considering its slow flight speed, it is not ideal for both bombers and reconnaissance aircraft. However, if it is used for air passenger transport, large range, large load and stability, it has sufficient conditions to become an air luxury cruise ship on transoceanic routes. Therefore, the 12 orders received by the Limerick Aircraft Manufacturing Plant so far are 10 from airlines operating intercontinental routes, and only 2 were ordered by the German Navy.

Rügen Island is a famous resort in northern Germany. The port here is very small and not enough to accommodate large ships. Exquisite private yachts can be seen everywhere in the harbor. Under the skillful control of the pilot, "Libertarian 1" relies entirely on its own power to the designated berth, and then the crew members threw fixed cables from the nose and belly hatches respectively. The white water giant bird finally docked steadily next to the dock, and passengers could directly board the dock via the gangway provided by the plane.

"His Majesty the King of the Kingdom of Ireland and the Kingdom of Will, we are hereby entrusted by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Empire to welcome you..."

After Feng Carson respectfully completed the crown ceremony, Xia Shu shook hands with him very enthusiastically and said, "Aha, my old friend, look, what a shining star... Now it's time to call you the General of the Imperial Army! This is a true honor... Congratulations!"

To be the youngest general from the African royal family in the German army, Von Carson's own talent and the merits he has accumulated through hard work are of course important, but the trust and importance of Crown Prince William's Serena William are the key factors that are well-known. Because of this, in the face of Xia Shu's humorous praise, Von Carson's performance lacks confidence. He shrugged: "In front of your glory, the faint light is really not worth mentioning."

After a few simple greetings on the dock, Xia Shu and Von Carson got into a car and headed to Frederick Castle in the south of Rügen Island. This seaside building was the royal property of the Prussian Kingdom and was established as a senior sanatorium for the German army in 1914. Since the end of the Battle of Britain, the German General Staff team led by Crown Prince William Jr. has moved from Paris to this beautiful and warm resort. However, they gave their bodies a vacation and did not relax. For several months, William Jr. and his right-hand men have been brewing a trans-ocean combat plan that has never been seen in history. The ultimate goal of this plan is to defeat the United States and make the German Empire a world overlord in this time and space.

"I heard... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been so ill that he has not attended several important banquets?" Not far from the port to his destination, Natsuki still tried every means to obtain some important information from the straightforward Feng Carson to help him avoid the minefield when communicating with his jealous elder brother.

Von Carson replied frankly: "Those are just unreasonable speculations, your Majesty doesn't have to worry about it. His Royal Highness rides horses and swims every day, so how could he get sick easily? The reason why he turned down those banquets is mainly because he is too serious about the results of the war chess deduction."

"Hey? What's going on?" Xia Shu asked with the flow.

Von Carson whispered: "Your Highness pursues a perfect victory, but judging from the situation of wargame deduction, the progress is far from what he expected."

"It doesn't look like His Royal Highness the usual style of the crown prince," said Natsuki.

Von Carson nodded, then shook his head helplessly.

Even if the other party does not explain in detail, Xia Shu can guess a rough idea. People can easily expand due to continuous victory and fall into a paranoid pursuit of perfect victory. Cross-ocean operations are an unprecedentedly difficult proposition, a huge and complex strategic task, and have extremely high requirements for military organization and logistics support. What's more, they are facing a country like America with a vast territory, rich resources and developed industry. If they want to gain a foothold on the US coast, they must proceed step by step, build a solid foundation, and be mentally prepared to pay a large price. Any idea of ​​achieving it overnight and winning smoothly is unrealistic.

Although the German crown prince invited him to come in the name of vacation, Natsuki knew that he hoped that he would help him check his combat plan in a low-key manner. In addition to this obvious purpose, there might be a deeper intention to place Wales into the Irish range of strength. Germany had promised before the war. However, at that time, the Germans did not expect that the Irish king could conquer the hearts of Wales in such a short time. With Wales' coal and iron resources and industrial production capacity, Ireland was like a tiger, and its comprehensive national strength surpassed Italy, and its military strength entered the forefront of Europe, and its future development was unlimited. The Germans broke the geopolitical constraints through two wars, but they did not want another powerful British country in the British Isles, even if its ruler was from the Hohenzollern family.

Compared with William II who was in his twilight years, the crown prince William, who would sooner or later, would be more concerned and vigilant about this.

After a moment, von Carson changed the topic and said: "By the way, your majesty, revolutionary activities in the Kingdom of Latvia have been very rampant recently. This should be another conspiracy created by the Russians with the support of the United States. It is said that the Russians intend to provoke some troubles in Britain, so your majesty should prepare early."

Since the establishment of the Soviet regime, the Russians have been constantly trying to "revolution export", intending to use this method to disintegrate the Allies' camp, then recover lost territory, expand the sphere of influence, and ultimately realize the ultimate ideal of world harmony. France was their first test field in Europe. In the 1920s, the revolutionary wave swept across southern France, causing protracted armed conflicts, hundreds of thousands of people died, and half of France became scorched earth. The rich France is still a turbulent place today, and the national strength has long been reduced to the third-rate. This revolution did disperse the energy of the Allies' camp for a long time. Germany, love, Italy, and Austria have paid high costs for military operations in France.

After France, the revolutionary movement was surging in Belarus, Ukraine, Poland, Hungary, Spain and even the Ottoman Empire, but it was not possible to form a prairie fire under the suppression of the ruling authorities. After the outbreak of World War II, although the Soviet Union did not directly participate in the war, it had been receiving funds, materials and technical assistance provided by the United States and Britain. On the one hand, it actively reorganized the army and prepared for war in China, forcing the German and Ottoman Empire to deploy a large number of troops in the border areas of Eastern Europe and the Caucasus. On the other hand, it sent experienced "revolutionary mentors" to take advantage of the dissatisfaction of the people of the lower classes in various countries to launch a new revolutionary movement. The Welsh unrest was the most representative one.

Xia Shu was not surprised at all about Von Carson's reminder. As a time traveler of history, he was more clear about the influence and appeal of revolution than most people in this time and space. However, he also saw the limitations of the current form of revolution from history. The best proof of the Russian revolutionary mentors' lack of foothold in his Ireland Kingdom, but not every country is in a stable development state like Ireland. The independent Latvian Kingdom, which was a little later than Ireland, has been troubled by economic downturns and bureaucratic corruption for a long time. Although Frederick William, the king of the Sigmaringen system of the Hohenzollern family, was diligent in government affairs, he failed to lead the country out of the haze and failed to establish a lofty prestige in the minds of the people. The only thing he could rely on was Germany's support.

The situation in Lithuania is not much better than Latvia. Former German Army General William Karl, Duke of Ulah in Württemberg, was nominally the king of the Lithuanian parliament voted, but he was not expected, but was relying on the support of the German royal family and the deterrence of the Lithuanians to wear this crown. In recent years, William Karl has been in deteriorating, and most of the military and political affairs are left to his eldest son. The young crown prince imitated the Irish king everywhere, valued German officials, and built large-scale construction in the capital Neusville and invested in the establishment of factories, but he imitated the enemy and did not understand the key points. A few people made profits from it, and most people complained. The revolutionary movement had already grown in seemingly calm places.

"Is Your Highness the Crown Prince going to send additional troops to Latvia?" asked Xia Shu.

Von Carson replied truthfully: "Yes, at the request of His Majesty Frederick William I, His Highness has ordered two infantry divisions and an armored brigade of the 9th Corps to enter Latvia, and if necessary, further troops will be sent."

"Are you planning to send additional troops to Lithuania?" Xia Shu asked again.

Von Carson was a little surprised. After thinking for a while, he made a positive statement.

"Smelling the storm is coming?" Xia Shu asked again.

Von Carson frowned but did not answer.

"British and France were our biggest enemies, and they blocked our way to become a world power, so we completely defeated them through war and cleared the obstacles. Now, we feel that the United States is our biggest enemy, because it is the only country that can threaten us economically and militarily, so we still want to completely defeat it through war. Is this path really right?" Xia Shu asked himself.
