What would be the best way to keep Friedrich von Hollmann as State Secretary of the German Imperial Naval Office (and keeping Tirpitz out), and what would the effects be?
For starters, Hollmann was a lot less of an Anglophobe than Tirpitz, and his preference for long-range cruiser squadrons would be much less likely to irk the British. No Anglo-German arms race seems a distinct possibility.
The POD would have to be in the 1890s, but I'm mainly interested in the effects which would be post-1900 which is why I stuck it here. Hope that's alright.
