As soon as Mehad finished speaking, Henry was moved.
In any respect, Mehard's idea was not wrong, but the national situation of Prussia was here, and the current Prussia simply did not have the energy or ability to build a navy capable of running rampant in the world, 12,380,000 silver marks, and this expenditure would completely bankrupt the Prussian finances, which had invested a lot of money to form three army standing divisions.
At the thought of it, Henry's face became solemn again "Mehard, what you said makes a lot of sense, but have you ever thought about it, it is impossible for our Prussian finances to support such a huge naval build!"
"Your Royal Highness, I know this in my heart, so I proposed a five-year deadline, and it should not be too much of a burden on the kingdom's finances to build a strong Prussian navy in five years!"
When Mehard said this, his eyes stared straight at Henry, and under the gaze of his gaze, Henry helplessly spread his hands and said: "12,380,000, even if it is divided into five years, then every year we Prussia need to provide 2,400,000 silver marks for this, do you think such a plan is feasible?"
"Your Royal Highness, although two million four million silver marks per year is a large cost for the kingdom, it is not that it cannot be paid, as far as I know, the army's annual military expenditure is more than five million silver marks!"
Hearing Mehard mention the army's military spending, Henry's face changed, "Mehard, there is a reason why the army needs such a huge military spending, there are many strong enemies around the kingdom.
No strong army can deter these strong enemies, but the navy is different.
By capturing the Danish navy, we already have a certain say in the Baltic Sea, and I don't want you to be so ambitious!
” Henry's words darkened Mehard's face, and although Henry was more cheerful, he was also a supporter of the "Continental Army" theory like other Prussians.
These people seemed to have to keep Prussia a strong army anyway, so that it could guarantee its survival in Europe.
Seeing that Mehard's face gradually showed a look of dejection, Henry's heart suddenly felt a little guilty, after all, Mehard's plan was also for the strength of Prussia.
"Mehad.
I think 12,380,000 silver marks are unrealistic in any case, but if you can reduce it to a reasonable position, I am willing to help you fight for it in the government."
Hearing Henry say this, there was hope again in Mehard's swollen eyes "Yes, Your Highness, but can you determine the range of what can be passed in the next one?"
Henry struggled again.
Originally, he was just comforting Mehard, but he didn't expect this Mehard to hit the snake with the stick like this, which made Henry a little embarrassed "Well, if you can reduce your annual spending to 130 to 1.5 million, I'm willing to do my best to help you get it."
Although this number has broken through Mehard's bottom line, I saw the unobjectionable look on Henry's face.
Mehad had no choice but to reluctantly comply.
At the same time that Henry and Mehad were talking, William's study "Okay, Du Li, I'll do this myself, I'm so embarrassed that you're like this."
"You sit down.
William's dress was cut by myself, so stand up and give me a try." said.
Du Li lifted a white dress and began to compare it on William's body, and seeing Du Li so insisting, William had no choice but to do his job as a model and let Du Li do it.
Just when Du Li excitedly lifted William's shoulder and was about to put it on William, Karina walked in with Christine, and when she saw Du Li dressing William, Karina's face changed significantly, but the excellent education she received since she was a child made Karina hold back a different emotion.
"Du Li, look, I'll help, you're tired alone."
With that, Karina walked over to William's side and grasped the other side of the white dress firmly in her hands "Karina, you light, this dress is the first piece I made myself, don't break it for me!"
Seeing that Karina was obviously ruining the atmosphere, Du Li suddenly said with some dissatisfaction, and after hearing Du Li's words, Karina's face suddenly became very unnatural "You said you made this dress yourself?
How is this possible?
” "How is it impossible, I have been working on this dress for more than three months, if William wears it properly, William will always wear the clothes I made in the future!"
As she spoke, a happy smile appeared on Du Li's face, and it was obvious that she had begun to imagine what William would look like in the future when he wore the clothes he had made.
"Isn't it just a piece of clothing, hmph, I'll do it too!"
Karina's words were full of jealousy, not to mention Du Li and William, even Cristini on the side could hear the jealousy in Karina's words "Then you do it, and no one will stop you" As soon as Du Li's words were finished, William knew that he was going to suffer, and sure enough, after Karina listened to Du Li's words, the state between the two instantly turned into a confrontation, and William seemed to be able to see the spark that popped out of the two people's eye contact.
But as a spectator on one side, William felt that it was better not to make a sound, otherwise it would not be good to sweep himself in, after all, this situation has happened many times before.
And the result each time is that the two people who were originally inseparable aimed at William after William spoke, and then insisted that William make a judgment, and every time William fled.
At this moment, Christine on the side spoke "Alright, Du Li, Karina" With that, Christine walked between the two "I said let's go out and play, it's so stuffy in the room" Hearing Christine's words, the two girls who were originally facing each other instantly became friendly again "Yes, yes" "I also think it's boring in the palace, it's better to go out for a walk" Seeing that the two girls had returned to their usual state, William secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and William naturally understood the thoughts of the two girls.
Among William's brothers and sisters, William's favorite is this Princess Christianie, this news is no secret, often Christianie wants, William will give her, so that Christianie's position in the kingdom immediately reached a considerable height.
And Du Li and Karina naturally know Christine's place in William's heart, so sometimes, the two girls are also very gentle and even doting on Christine.
Maybe there is something wrong with the word spoiling, after all, the three daughters are about the same age, but as this word reflects, it can be said that in Sanssouci Palace, what Christine wants, as long as it is within the scope of her ability, everyone will meet her requirements.
After the three girls agreed, they all looked at William's body, watching the three girls move in unison, William shook his head, and then put on the half-worn white dress.
After William put on the dress, the eyes of the three girls were full of brilliance, worthy of being the man of the Hohenzollern family, William's height at this moment has reached the level of one meter eighty-two, and the figure can be described as the top, after all, the perennial exercise has given William a strong but not high-profile figure (the so-called high-profile refers to the kind of European bodybuilder's big man), black hair, blue eyes, high nose bridge, resolute face, the combination of facial features makes William's body exude a bewildering smell, Especially a slight smile is even more addictive.
A white dress sets off William like a prince in a fairy tale, oh no, William is a king who doesn't need such a low title as a prince.
Seeing the expectant eyes of the three girls, William smiled helplessly, William was not very happy to be pulled by Du Li, as a king, he has a lot of affairs, the newly established three divisions, the aftermath of Denmark, Schleswig and Holstein, Hamburg and other miscellaneous things make William want to be able to divide himself into several parts, if it weren't for Du Li's stunt of crying when he says, William will not be so idle.
However, at this time, William naturally did not want to live up to the good intentions of the three daughters "Okay, it's okay to go out for a walk, but don't leave Sanssouci Palace" "What's so fun if you don't leave Sanssouci Palace, you have to take us to Potsdam to play today, otherwise I will ignore you in the future!"
The one who dared to talk to William like this was naturally the Christine who had been spoiled to a certain extent "This .....
All right, my princess, but you are not allowed to run around, I will not go out with you if you don't agree."

"Hee-hee, okay, got it, let's go!"
Christine jumped up in front of William and smiled, then grabbed William's left arm and dragged him away.
William accompanied the three little beauties to leave Sanssouci Palace in a very ordinary carriage, William was originally going to take the royal carriage, but Cristinie was firmly opposed, she said that if you take the royal carriage, those people will bow their heads and salute when they see it, which will make her lose interest in playing.
William and Christinee sat on one side, while Durie and Karina sat opposite each other, and the faces of the two girls were very stiff when they saw Christine snuggling in William's arms.
But then I thought about it, Christine was William's sister after all, and no matter how good the two were, it was impossible for anything beyond the brother-sister friendship to happen, otherwise, the gossip of the whole of Europe would make the Hohenzollern family embarrassed.
Thinking of this, the faces of the two women improved again, thinking of this, the two women looked at each other, and then realized again that the other party was their biggest opponent, and the two women snorted in unison, and William in the carriage was quite speechless.
