Chapter 3 German West Africa (1)

[The chapter uploaded last night said that there were sensitive words and waited for review, but the result was not reviewed until 9:30 in the morning. Well, I admit that I was afraid of the river crabs at Qidian, so I got a river crab tester, deleted a few innocuous words, changed the chapter title, and sent it again.]

Kiel at dusk is in a perfect scenery. The bleak setting sun cannot leave the sea and the sky, quietly coating the sea with an old yellow like an old photo. The fishing boats sing in the evening, accompanied by the intoxicating scenery, the hardworking fishermen sang songs that had been passed down for centuries and manipulated the star-pointed sails back to the harbor. Next to the small dock of the Naval Academy, the broken waves swayed gently on the hull, the Friedrich-Karl torpedo training ship, which was covered with seaweed shells. The greedy seabirds dived from time to time, frightening many naval cadets who were potentially conducting algae removal training underwater, causing the quiet Baltic Sea to be filled with the angry curses of young and vigorous students.

After physical training, Wang Heidi seemed to be running from time to time. Perhaps it was because of Principal Laiche's warning that the Philosophy teacher Piriels Ferdinand, who annoyed Wang Heidi, never asked to accept him as a closed disciple. In the following few light weapons training, Wang Heidi could occasionally score five of ten shots and nearly qualified results. He also had the experience of persevering the whole process of the queue training hosted by Teacher Stenzel himself. Even Wang Heidi's seasickness that he once regarded as a nightmare was alleviated.

Whether it was the cold-blooded animal Stenzell or the arrogant Oden, their attitude towards Wang Heidi was getting better and better as he progressed, so the otaku's self-confidence began to expand again, thinking that time travel was just that. Although the process was a little twists and turns, for the time traveler, it was just a plate of appetizers before the main meal.

Just when the otaku was imagining, Stenzell stood up and used a sentence to talk to you to bring back the ignorant Wang Heidi back to her true form.

Seaweeds attached to the hull have always been a big problem for ships. It not only affects the speed of the ship, but also accelerates the aging of the hull, so the hull must be cleaned regularly. Wang Heidi is potentially cleaning the phytoplankton underwater. When he heard Stenzell's call, his heart tightened. He drank several sips of sea water, grabbed the knife and got out of the water in a daze, and helped the rusty hull of Friedrich-Carl to breathe in big mouthfuls.

"Look for me?" Wang Heidi raised her head slightly, glanced at Stenzel, whose frost was accumulated on her face, and shrank timidly.

"You are Heidi Sileme?" A middle-aged naval officer with a rank of colonel and two clusters of people who looked very literary, gentleman and noble to the eyes of the Germans. He looked very Zhang Jizhong's goatee and a shiny forehead. He stood at the side of the training ship and leaned his head toward Wang Heidi.

"Sir, are you looking for me?" Wang Heidi saluted a military salute in the sea, scratched her head and asked in a low voice. Wang Heidi did not know the naval officer in front of her. He confirmed that the naval colonel was not a teacher at Keel Naval Academy.

"Young man, let's talk?"

The middle-aged officer stood there with a faint smile on his face, his eyes were sharp, and his every move exuded a very strong and heroic aura. Even though Wang Heidi had a second-generation official and second-generation official in his previous life, he still respected his father who pursued stick education, and could not fight against his willful girlfriend, and his legs trembled when he saw his girlfriend's parents, let alone the middle-aged officer with a domineering aura.

Amid the blessings of Redel asking for blessings, Wang Heidi climbed ashore pitifully, following the middle-aged officer tremblingly, not far away or close.

The Navy Colonel seemed to be familiar with the Naval Academy. He led Wang Heidi through the tree-lined path of the military school and soon walked to the pavilion deep in the woods.

"I am Alfred von Tirpitz, the Imperial Navy Colonel." The middle-aged officer introduced himself, squatting on the grass casually, took out a box of well-packaged cigarettes and shook them in front of Wang Heidi, and said politely: "Do you smoke?"

Wang Heidi was flattered and took the cigarette and put it in front of her nose and smelled it. This is a high-end cigarette produced in Berlin, far from comparable to homemade cigarettes like Bronte.

"Silem, I've read your entrance exam answer sheet. I heard that you had expected the end of the naval battle before the outbreak of the Qing and Japanese war in the Far East." Tirpitz held a cigarette that had not been lit in his mouth and asked, "Silem, what impact do you think the Yellow Sea Battle will have on the development of the world's naval?"

"College, I'm just a military academy student, and it's less than a month since I joined the Navy..." Wang Heidi was still a Chinese in her bones and pursued the doctrine of the mean. He avoided the sharp eyes of the middle-aged officer and subconsciously hid his weakness.

"Silem, confidence is the most valuable quality of our Germans!" Colonel Tilpitz patted Wang Heidi on the shoulder and said half-truely: "A few days ago, I met Major Stenzel in the principal's office. He had a very high evaluation of Bernhard von Oden and Erich Redel, but his evaluation of you was very bad, but I don't think so. Siemem, although your basic military literacy is quite poor, I believe you are a genius, no less than a naval strategic genius like Wolfgang Wegener!"

Wolfgang-Wegener, born in the port city of Stettin on the Baltic Sea, has now made his mark at the Plun Navy NPC Academy. Tirpitz, who had just visited Plun Navy NPC Academy not long ago, still remembers the nineteen-year-old Wegener.

Wang Heidi traveled through time and caught up with the drama of hero saving the United States and being bravely injured. Then, due to life, he had to choose a dock porter, a career that was insulting the status of a time traveler. After being admitted to the Keil Naval Craft, he made many mistakes and became a laughing stock of the navy. Wang Heidi felt that his time travel career was quite failed. He suddenly heard someone praise him, and this person seemed to be quite powerful and background, which greatly satisfyed the otakus's extremely lack of self-identity.

"Col. Tirpitz, I think with the development of modern technology, the future naval war will inevitably undergo earth-shaking changes, and the Qing and Japanese War in the Far East is the forefront of this change!" Wang Heidi decided to repay his favor and gave the only thing in his stomach.

In fact, Wang Heidi is not unprepared for traveling. According to the law of traveling, traveling guests will definitely meet noble people one day, use their skills of plagiarism, and gain the appreciation of noble people with a perfect speech. Since then, the lucky stars shine brightly. During this period after traveling, Wang Heidi was looking forward to his noble people, while recalling the scattered memories of past and future generations, summarizing his heard knowledge, and painstakingly summarized some epoch-making views on the future development direction of the navy in case of emergencies.

In fact, the biggest advantage of Time Traveler is not the eloquence of speech, physical fitness, adaptability and practical operation, but the strategic vision of the era that is far away. Wang Heidi is not a person with a firm will. He is not only afraid of death but also hardship. His physical fitness, execution and adaptability are also quite poor. Thanks to the cheating college entrance examination, his academic performance and strategic vision can be far away from those of his contemporaries, so that the otaku was useless in 1894, Germany.

"In the sailing era, naval battles mostly use side-side shooting, jumping gangs to fight in close combat; after the appearance of iron armored ships and breech guns, the distance between naval battles continued to widen, and various naval powers began to pursue larger caliber artillery and stronger iron armor; after the Battle of Lisa, no country in the world dared to give up underwater hitting corners; after the appearance of torpedoes, the Green Water Navy was rampant, and the French were surrounded by them; before the outbreak of the Qing and Japanese war in the Far East, optical rangefinders, rapid-fire cannons and triple-expansion machines were already

Invented, Ma Han's "Theory of the Sea Power" also demonstrated the value of fast cruisers in the naval territory, and the naval construction of countries around the world is accelerating. The battle of the Yellow Sea, the joint fleet used rapid maneuverability, rapid-fire cannons, the mistakes and a little luck of the Qing people. This largest steam-era naval battle in the 19th century proved the powerful strength of the ironclad ships, the value of fast cruisers, and the role of rapid-fire cannons. Its impact on the world's naval will surely be far-reaching."

Wang Heidi waved her fist, cooperated with her strong tone, and tried her best to imitate the momentum of Emperor Taizu's endless rebellion, and pointed out the country and inspired the words. The manure of the ten thousand households said:

"The larger caliber main gun, new defensive armor, rapid-fire guns are widely used as secondary guns, safe and effective command systems, and high-power steam turbines, these will become the standards for the strength of warships. New technologies and the use of technology by naval personnel will become the key to the success or failure of naval battles!"

****

When Wang Heidi turned back to the school building, it was getting late and the lights were on, and the otakus's cautiousness disappeared at all, and instead he was full of complacency.

"Silem, who is looking for you? What are you saying?" Redel broke into Wang Heidi's dormitory, and Wang Heidi asked. Although Oden, who was cleaning up the green algae and shellfish wrapped in a knife, pretended to be indifferent, it was not difficult to see from his gradually slowing down movements that Oden's appearance was different.

"A naval colonel named Tirpitz." Wang Heidi looked at the direction where Tirpitz disappeared, touched his nose, and said angrily: "I chatted with him in a confused manner for more than an hour. He said that I looked like a person he had long admired, as if he was named John Abbasnot Fisher, and he was a British Rear Admiral."

"I haven't heard of two people..." Redel said with a shrugged.

Oden turned his head, and his arrogance and disdain were re-written on his face. Redell and Wang Heidi were no longer surprised by Oden's expression of beating. They were discussing how to spend the rare vacation tomorrow, and the navy colonel named Tirpitz was soon left behind by a group of unrestrained young people.

They didn't know that the naval colonel named Alfred von Tirpitz they met today was the well-deserved commander-in-chief of the German Navy in history books, the famous high seas fleet creator, who provoked the German-English naval competition and in a sense instigated the naval madman of World War I. Major General John Abbasnotte Fisher, who had been with great friendship for a long time, was Tirpitz's lifelong enemy, the British First Navy Secretary, and the founder of the dreadnought.
