Chapter 65: I see
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your generosity! If the army's military expenditure is a little more relaxed in the future, we may purchase more motorcycles." Little Moqi tried hard to force a smile on his face. But no matter how he looked, he was smiling on the surface.
Qin Tian nodded, and didn't say anything more. He knew that little Maoqi was just talking on the scene. It would be very difficult for the army to buy things from his companies, especially when Mao Qi continued to be the chief of staff.
An activity to sell motorcycles to the army turned into an activity to donate a large number of motorcycles to the army, which made Qin Tian very speechless. However, he was able to spend 50 million marks to make most of the army's main generals change their views on him. Qin Tian thought that the money spent was not a loss. In many cases, even if you spend money, you may not achieve such an effect.
After Qin Tian and the army reached an agreement, the activity ended. Little Maoqi took the lead to say goodbye and leave. However, the moment he turned around, the fake smile on his face disappeared completely, replaced by a gloomy face.
"It seems that His Royal Highness Prince Oscar is really an ambitious person. He is such a good military at no cost, obviously he wants to get the support of the military, so as to shake the throne of Crown Prince William! Crown Prince William seems to be as stable as Mount Tai Can the throne remain stable under the impact of Prince Oscar?" Xiao Maoqi thought secretly.
However, Little Maoqi soon felt that the throne of Crown Prince William, which seemed stable, was actually already crumbling. William II has become increasingly dissatisfied with Crown Prince William, thinking that Crown Prince William is like mud that cannot support the wall. In all fairness, Crown Prince William is still outstanding. However, compared with Qin Tian, ??the evildoer, the gap is not even a little bit.
"His Royal Highness, thank you for your support to the Army." Von Falkenhain held Qin Tian's hand, his face full of gratitude. As the Minister of War, you can imagine the pressure on him when the military expenditure is not enough. If there were a few more people like Qin Tian who were willing to donate generously for the military power of the empire, his life would undoubtedly be much easier.
"Your Excellency, you are too serious, this is what I should do!" Qin Tian was still very humble.
Von Falkenhain patted Qin Tian on the shoulder, then left, feeling in his heart: "It would be great if His Royal Highness Prince Oscar is His Majesty's eldest son!"
Obviously, von Falkenhain felt sorry for Qin Tian. In his opinion, Qin Tian is obviously more suitable to inherit the empire than Crown Prince William. Because, once Qin Tian inherits the empire, the empire will develop even stronger. However, it would be hard to say if Crown Prince William inherited the empire. Unfortunately, it is almost impossible for Qin Tian to replace Crown Prince William.
The other generals of the army also left one after another. They all had smiles on their faces, shook hands with Qin Tian, ??and said words of thanks. From their eyes, Qin Tian felt their sincerity. In addition, he also felt something else. For example, sorry. Of course he knew what these generals were lamenting. However, there was nothing he could do about it.
Marshal Earl Tirpitz was the last person to leave, and when he left, he invited Qin Tian to ride in a car with him. Qin Tian knew that Marshal Earl Tirpitz had something to say to him.
Qin Tian strongly supports the development of the navy, and this also brings great rewards. At least Marshal Earl Tirpitz, the head of the navy, is very optimistic about him. Of course, many people were dissatisfied with this approach of Marshal Earl Tirpitz. It's just that Marshal Earl Tirpitz didn't take it to heart at all. Outsiders didn't know how much Qin Tian supported the navy, and Marshal Earl Tirpitz didn't want to pay attention to their words.
"Your Highness, you did a very good job today. I am very grateful for your strong support for the navy. However, many people have opinions on this. The guys in the army are also very unbalanced. However, after After what happened today, they should feel much better." Marshal Earl Tirpitz said with a smile.
Although Qin Tian donated 50 million mark motorcycles to the army, Marshal Earl Tirpitz didn't feel any imbalance in his heart. After all, Qin Tian's support for the navy is undoubtedly much greater. Not to mention a "Helgoland-class" battleship, even a low-interest loan of 100 million marks per year is also a huge help. Otherwise, the German Navy would have no way to launch advanced warships like dumplings. Not to mention, because of Qin Tian's influence, William II also agreed to provide the navy with a loan of 100 million marks every year from the wealth of the royal family. 𝑓re𝘦𝔀𝗲𝘣𝘯𝘰νℯ𝒍.c𝗼m
"Your Excellency Marshal, the navy is very important in future wars, but so is the army. After the navy defeats the enemy, it still needs to rely on the army to occupy the enemy's territory. After all, our warships can't go ashore, right? So , I also value the army very much. However, our army is already very strong, and the enemies we face are not as strong as those faced by the navy." Qin Tian shook his head. He didn't want the German army to be crippled like the British. The British navy is the most powerful in the world, but the British pocket army is not flattering. Qin Tian hopes that the German army, like the navy, has the strongest power in the world.
Marshal Earl Tirpitz nodded in satisfaction, agreeing with Qin Tian's point of view. The enemies of the German Navy are too strong, and their debts are too great. In order to catch up, it is necessary to increase investment. Relatively speaking, the pressure is a little less. However, this does not mean that the Army is not important.
"Your Highness, do you feel the hostility towards you from that little Moltke?" asked Marshal Count Tirpitz.
Qin Tian nodded: "That's right, the Chief of Staff seems to be deliberately targeting me today. I don't seem to have offended him, right?"
"Your Highness, sometimes it's a sin to be too dazzling alone! Your Highness is like this now. The outstanding talent shown by His Highness has already made someone feel threatened. And Xiao Maoqi naturally doesn't want the worst. The situation happened. That's why he jumped out and wanted to contain His Highness. However, it seems that he has not been able to succeed." Marshal Earl Tirpitz raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
"Your Excellency Marshal, you mean that this was ordered by His Royal Highness Crown Prince William?" Qin Tian frowned.
