The fourth chapter old rivals and new enemies (4)
Erpitz resigned, and the stubborn old man who made Wang Haidi resent the younger generation actually resigned. He even left a strong impression on Wang Haidi’s contribution to the great victory of Howell Golan Bay.
Coming out of the meeting room of the Navy Headquarters, Wang Haidi’s narrow corridor was dizzy, and Erpitz resigned, Ingenohl warned, and more than ten years of painful memories made the burned-out otaku keenly aware of something, but every time the otaku tried to concentrate on thinking deeply, that terrible inspiration always slipped away from his mind easily.
Wang Haidi is no stranger to this old and aging building. He once took charge of the secrets of the naval office. He stumbled in the naval headquarters building, followed the memories of the old year, turned several forks and bypassed several corners, and unconsciously came to the door of the office of the familiar and unfamiliar Imperial Navy Secretary.
"Not Erpitz, but Emperor William!" It seems that Wang Haidi has been enlightened and happy, and the cold sweat has wet his shirt chest and back.
In 1997, hot-headed Wang Haidi published "On Asymmetric Warfare in Battleship Age". Major General Reicher, the president of Kiel Naval Academy, got the school file and copied it personally. Wang Haidi solemnly gave it to Erpitz, predicting the disappearance of almost evil accurately. In the voluminous official document of the Admiralty, it was said that Erpitz could not read the science fiction paper that was almost Verne, and it was collected by the emperor who was overjoyed.
After 19 years of youthful years, Wang Haidi Erpitz had a fierce quarrel, which changed from the initial theoretical dispute to a simple passion. After the otaku Erpitz became hostile, he was exiled overseas, from the first gunboat gunner in the Far East to the commander of the Baltic reserve fleet to the desolate East African Marine Corps. At last, Wang Haidi was at the end of his rope, and he paid a generous salary, even though he abandoned the otaku’s "An" principle, and braved the war to come to Istanbul to follow the mountains and rivers, and the Balkan region of the Ottoman Empire was abandoned by God.
In January 1914, hippel Lei Deer attacked by innuendo in front of Erpitz, trying to get him to give up his hatred for otaku for 16 years, but he was paranoid. He shouted, "I’m not prepared to accept writing or describing his views by him until he gets rid of his disgusting arrogance and boasting, even if his views are right."
In July 1914, General hippel took care of Wang Haidi’s ocean fleet with ease. However, the Secretary of the Navy would never give up suppressing this unruly young man. He repeatedly made excuses for Wang Haidi’s rude remarks and interfered with his promotion. If hippel had not given up the post of chief officer of Hewan Defense Command due to physical problems, I am afraid there would not be Wang Haidi’s lofty sentiments in the war month.
Otaku has always been his enemy. Erpitz and George von Mueller are the first admiralty veterans. Although the former is in a bad situation, he has a lofty position. Although the latter is not in control, they are either the emperor’s minions or their students, or they rely on the old or fear that they have enough influence on the head of the ocean fleet and the weak general Ingenohl.
In Wang Haidi’s view, there must be a World War I in the old world system of emerging Germany. Whether it’s time or people and World War I is the best time for Germany to break the shackles. The history of Germany’s defeat in the rear workers’ movement, the Black Death and the two-front war are all external factors. In the end, Germany lost to the war of attrition.
In this regard, Wang Haidi, the chief officer of the Helgolan Bay Defense Command, played the cards in his hand to the extreme. One sword after another went sideways for quick success and instant benefit, and the gambling victory was almost risky. The glory and glory of the Royal Navy tore off the coat of "seeking defeat alone" and told the elderly navy elders that the navy would always be an offensive arm, trying to create a fait accompli in front of public opinion. Wang Haidi did not feel frustrated after being promoted and lowered by the Admiralty. He also dreamed of saying that the emperor could rule out the old man Erpitz and the interference of the Admiralty elders to break the British sea blockade.
Knowing the cruelty of the First World War and the tragic situation after the defeat of Germany, the otaku may not be without fear. However, the otaku is not fooling around. Now that the young people have settled down in Kiel, there is enough for him to protect this magnificent land in Germany. On the 4th of April, the horn of war sounded, and Wang Haidi turned back and stood up. He was castrated by the foreign policy of peace and crab world for 30 years, and his sense of responsibility and mission was gradually recovered. Wang Haidi tried to save the low morale of the ocean fleet, tirelessly sought trouble, and tried to find trouble in front of the huge royal navy.
Just as Wang Haidi rallied and shouted, the otaku suddenly found that it was not some out-of-date old man, nor was he his real enemy. On the contrary, maybe it was not the Kaiser but Erpitz who had been hiding in the dark all these years!
In 1994, Wang Haidi’s old enemy, Erpitz, met. At that time, Erpitz was not the founder of the ocean fleet, and Wang Haidi was far from chatting on such a famous campus today. However, Erpitz’s appreciation of Wang Haidi, who was notorious at that time, was beyond words. Erpitz strongly advised Stenzel to understand Wang Haidi more in hindsight.
In 1997, Wang Haidi first put forward the concept of "asymmetric warfare", which was grandstanding for a while and was immediately shelved by the Admiralty. Wang Haidi also heard of it, but he was in charge of the secret period of the Naval Office. Wang Haidi saw the article "On Asymmetric Warfare in the Battleship Age" which was criticized by Erpitz in the locker. It was proved that Wang Haidi was still young. Now that I think about it, maybe Erpitz paid more attention to Wang Haidi’s paper than anyone else. After Hill presided over the construction of the dreaded ship and the perfect cruiser, the Germans quickly took it out.
In 1914, hippel and Lei Deer lobbied Wang Haidi to finally return to the ocean fleet. Wang Haidi had every reason to be grateful to the German emperor William, but Lei Deer had already taken on the royal yacht of the emperor William as early as 199, and Wang Haidi, the voyage chief of the hohenzollern, had reason to doubt the emperor.
At the beginning of July, 1914, the admiralty meeting, Wang Haidi, lashed out at the vague ocean strategy of the navy’s top management. At that time, the otaku was unreasonable. He didn’t realize that George von Muller, the secretary of the navy cabinet, was just a jester. Admiralty elders are still influential, but they haven’t decided on the strategic direction of the empire. At this time, Admiralty’s highest prestige is held by Imperial Admiralty Minister Erpitz, who is actually the commander-in-chief of the ocean fleet. Although they have some flaws in one way or another, after all, they are only two generals of the German Navy for a while. Even if they can’t give constructive opinions, they can’t always make the ocean strategy of the German Navy ranked second in the world contradictory and ambiguous. You must know that Erpitz created the number one imaginary enemy of this ocean fleet by himself. Wang Haidi of the British Empire didn’t even realize that he could escape George von Muller’s investigation and was unexpectedly promoted to the university at the end of July. The chief officer of the Cheng He Bay Defense Command was just Erpitz hippel’s joint performance.
Wang Haidi suddenly understood the reason why the navy went crazy in recent years, like building a capital ship, but refused to equip the ocean fleet with enough cruisers and auxiliary ships. Wang Haidi suddenly realized that the navy has always been conservative about the new technology movement in recent years, but it can always easily come from behind; Wang Haidi suddenly understood the reason why the ocean fleet was enthusiastic when it was in full swing ten years ago. The higher General Ingenohl was, the softer his bones became. Wang Haidi finally understood the reason why she had to resign at the same time because of the victory of the naval battle in Erpitschel Golan Bay.
"It turns out that I have been manipulating my ups and downs for more than ten years, and my fate has made me work hard to write an investigation report. The sinking of the sea has made the ocean fleet take detours. That person is not Erpitz." The bursting mood is full of awakening. Haidi turned her head and looked at Charlottenburg Palace, and her blue eyes were full of bloodthirsty taste. "The ocean fleet has never been Alfred von Erpitz, the imperial navy minister, and it has never been Al Fresi von Ingenohl, the commander-in-chief of the fleet. It does not belong to the German people! The fate of truly controlling this fleet can be that the Hohensolen family can be the German emperor! "

The fourth chapter old rivals and new enemies (5)
The office of the imperial secretary of the navy is now swinging on the windowsill, and the potted plants are gone. The paintings in the 17th century are gone, and the golden pens and high-placed documents have disappeared from the wisteria desk.
Expensive Persian carpets are still slightly broken due to the clearing workers these days. The bell in the corner is still ticking away, and the doors and windows are closed and spread in the dark.
The half-closed door was pushed open, and the dazzling light shone in, and the pale light came in. Marshal Irpitz had carved his face over the years.
"West Lyme, you have come after all" said Erpitz, sitting on the sofa with his old face moving slightly. "Ingenohl predicted that you would never guess this game, or guess it but pretend you didn’t know it, but I didn’t expect you to change for a day! Haha, it seems that I am right to insist! "
Wang Haidi sat on the edge of the door frame, not knowing what to say. After more than ten years of deep hatred, he realized that it was just a dream of accumulating resentment, and he had to be grateful for the absurdity of fate and the funny life, which made him feel a little uncomfortable for the rigid and rigorous otaku who belonged to Germany.
"In 1997, I began to bear the pressure from the Imperial Admiralty, the Emperor and the Parliament. I am a professional soldier. I inherited the military unification creed from the Prussian era. However, I was forced to learn politicians to play with the curve to save the country. Selim, you have been wandering overseas for 16 years. I have also been suffering from this furnace for 16 years. I have racked my brains to get the parliament to agree to my expansion plan. In order to practice your concept of "asymmetric warfare" in disguise, I kept an eye on the British shipbuilding plan and made the emperor pay attention to Britain’s possible blockade strategy. I personally applied for your retirement detention and handed it over to the emperor after revision. Now the emperor no longer believes me. Edward von capelle (deputy secretary of the navy) has taken my place, and it is almost certain that I will be proud and stubborn for most of my life. I never want to be a laughing stock of the navy and resign in such a decent way to end my military career. "Erpitz has resigned from his post by relying on a soft sofa to point to cigarette butts in the white light. Suddenly, the soothing tone gradually rose and then sublimated into a kind of aggressive coercion. "I still can’t let go of my hard work for half a life after all. I have one last wish or one last question!"
Erpitz stood up with his marshal’s staff and put on his rank marshal’s body. Facing the bright light, he said loudly, "Major General Heidi Selim, can I entrust the ocean fleet to you?"
"Marshal, don’t you hate me for countless curses, abuse and nagging in the past 16 years?"
With hesitation, Wang Haidi carefully took a step to re-set foot in a familiar area. The otaku was not very broad. After crossing the gate, he unconsciously blocked the light from coming in and made it clear for a moment. The office suddenly fell into a mass of black ink.
"No, Selim needs to apologize. It’s me!" In the dark, there were cigarette butts and Erpitz sincerely apologized. "In 19 years, the debate in the office of the Secretary of the Navy came to the emperor’s ears, and he was bent on building a battleship, the main ocean fleet. The emperor could no longer tolerate your heresy, safeguard you and let you learn that a naval soul should have knowledge and temperament. I could exile you to the far east. In January 1914, Lei Deer and hippel came to see me and begged me to transfer you back. I refused because I felt that there was no pressure of war. The emperor looked at you negatively. The law will not change. After the event, General hippel came to me alone to understand what you have been through these years. Forgive me for the divorce of lovers and the illness of relatives in West Lyme, and I was at the end of my tether in 1912. I really didn’t expect this … "
Stubborn and proud for most of my life, Erpitz has never been so depressed as he is today. From Erpitz’s sincere apology, Wang Haidi heard an old German navy’s enthusiasm for the sea, devoted himself to the ocean fleet that had abandoned him, and devoted himself to the German navy and the Germanic nation for life. Before the old navy, Wang Haidi could taste the bitterness alone with her conscience and dissipate the west wind from those false past.
"Marshal Ingenohl, did you bury the chess?" The otaku was silent for a little. He looked forward to it and asked a seemingly irrelevant question.
In 1913, Friedrich von Ingenohl succeeded Hertzendorf as commander-in-chief of the ocean fleet. In front of the emperor, Friedrich von Ingenohl of Nuo Nuo was the only one who faced his company. The imperial navy minister Erpitz was very tough and fought without bloodshed. At that time, Istanbul wasted years in Erpitz, and Wang Haidi also rejoiced. Now it seems that Ingenohl Erpitz should have some tacit understanding, and Ingenohl’s reputation of "the emperor should be worm-ridden" is not worthy of the name.
Irpitz is silent and intelligent. Haidi already knows everything. Irpitz resigned and saved the emperor’s letter to Ingenohl. The 60-year-old navy has done everything he can in the post-Irpitz era.
"Heidi Selim, can I entrust the ocean fleet to you?" Erpitz repeated it and gave it to Wang Haidi. There was an option, multiple choice questions.
"Old adversary George von Mueller, new naval minister Edward von capelle, powerful new adversary Imperial Emperor, Friedrich William Victor Albert von hohenzollern and perhaps my old friend David Betty …" The otaku caressed his military hat, took a deep breath and shook his arms. "Old adversary and new enemy, even though the road ahead is difficult and the road ahead is blocked, can be as long as the emperor. I am afraid of it!"
"In the post-Erpitz era, you will be an indispensable soul of the big fleet. What you lack is an opportunity, a bigger stage than the first battle cruiser sub-fleet, and I can give you all these!"
Hill promised to make David Betty dizzy. In an instant, Betty vaguely saw the heavy clock of London Bridge, the solemn Buckingham Palace and Downing Street in the fog. He seemed to hear the melodious bagpipes in the Scottish Highlands and the sword of the king who had been flowing in England for more than a thousand years. He said that he really wanted to defeat the Spanish enemy fleet for 15 years, and the horn of Trafalgar rang Nelson’s Z flag for 15 years.
"Maybe Winston Churchill and my old friend Heidi Selim will become my new enemies when I get out of this stream …"
