Jagged Germany

"Your Majesty, I have to admit that His Royal Highness Prince Oscar is extremely talented in designing warships. Now it seems that what he predicted has come true. Although, we wasted more than a year. But if we catch up If so, it is not impossible for us to catch up with the British." Marshal Earl Tirpitz also said.

King William II nodded, being able to make the stubborn guy on the Naval Technical Committee bow his head and admit his mistake, this can be regarded as rectifying Qin Tian's name. At the same time, the 180-degree turn in everyone's attitude also made him very satisfied. At least, from now on, those guys in the Naval Technical Committee will not be so high above, as if they represent authority.

"Now that the Naval Technical Committee has realized its mistake, I will not pursue this matter any further. However, I hope you can learn from it and such things will not happen again in the future. After all, this damage It is the interests of the German navy and even the whole of Germany, which will put us at a disadvantage in future wars!" Wilhelm II said with a serious face.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Earl von Warren replied hastily. At the same time, he also breathed a sigh of relief.

William II was able to lift it high like this, but put it down gently. For the Naval Technical Committee, it is undoubtedly a good thing. In this case, at least they will not be hit too hard. Of course, after this incident, the prestige of the Naval Technical Committee has been greatly reduced. Those experts no longer dare to know themselves with authority and cannot listen to any other opinions.

"Everyone, I have something to inform you. After his design was rejected, Oscar was not reconciled and decided to build the battleship he designed. Therefore, he bought the Royal Shipyard of the royal family with his own money, and will It has been expanded into a large shipyard. Since November last year, Oscar's Deutsche Shipyard has begun to build the battleships he designed. And, four ships were built at one time. Because he insisted that all the required expenses are all paid by himself To bear the burden. So, I did not stop this issue. What do you think about this?" William II looked at everyone.

The important German ministers present here are naturally not fools. They knew very well that without the support of William II, it would be impossible for Qin Tian to do so. However, the few battleships under construction in Qin Tian's shipyard have become the hope of the German Navy, the hope of the German Navy to catch up with the British Navy, and even surpass the British Navy. At this time, naturally no one would be stupid enough to ask the bottom line.

"Your Majesty, it seems that God blessed the German Empire and sent us a genius warship designer like Prince Oscar. It is also because of his persistence that our navy will not be left too far behind by the British. Since Prince Oscar's The shipyard has already started the construction of four new battleships, so let the navy take over as the next-level capital ship. In this way, the time required for redesigning and starting construction will be saved. Of course, the navy will It can also be paid to Prince Oscar according to the corresponding price." Prince Heinrich proposed.

In this case, it is undoubtedly the best result for the German Navy. Of course, for the Naval Technical Committee and other large shipyards, I'm afraid it's not so good. The Navy's warship orders, especially orders for large battleships, have always been the main source of profit for those large shipyards. Now, if the navy uses the battleships being built by Qin Tian's German shipyard as the next-level capital ship, it will undoubtedly be eating meat from the bowls of several major shipyards.

Count von Warren opened his mouth, but in the end he said nothing. Although several major shipyards have a close relationship with the Naval Technical Committee, they will provide a lot of additional support to the Naval Technical Committee every year. However, after they have made a big mistake, it is clear that they no longer have the capital to bargain on this issue.

Marshal Earl Tirpitz frowned, he also thought of this question. However, in the case that the German shipyard has already started the construction of four new battleships, it is naturally impossible to have extra battleships for other shipyards to build. Of course, several other shipyards also have previous orders for battleships. Although there will be some less profit, the overall impact will not be great.

"Your Majesty, the navy is willing to accept several battleships built by the German shipyard under His Royal Highness Prince Oscar as the new capital ships of the next level of the navy." Marshal Count Tirpitz said.

Other ministers, although they know that this will cause certain losses to several other shipyards. But they also know that the general situation is over now, and if this question is raised again, it will only disgust William II. What's more, don't even think about the orders for the capital ships of the next level, but there will be orders for the next level. Anyway, if the German Navy wants to compete with the British Navy for maritime supremacy, it will not just build a first-class new battleship. Next, more new battleships will definitely be built.

"Since everyone has no opinion, then it is decided. Tirpitz, tomorrow I will let Oscar come back and sign a contract with the Navy!" William II said. fre𝑒𝘸𝚎𝚋n૦ѵℯl.c𝒐𝘮

"Yes, Your Majesty." Marshal Earl Tirpitz nodded. Of course, he will not have any opinion on this. What's more, in his opinion, the battleships designed and built by Qin Tian bought a lot of time for the German Navy to catch up with the British Navy, even though the new battleships they built would enter service later than the British Navy. However, serving four ships at one time and being significantly stronger in performance than the British Navy's "Dreadnought" battleship will give the German Navy a greater advantage.

As the head of the German navy, Marshal Count Tirpitz valued the interests of the German navy and hoped that the German navy could defeat the British navy in one fell swoop in future wars, pull the British from the throne of maritime supremacy, and achieve His long-cherished wish for many years. As for the others, it doesn't matter that much.

Although, this matter is only spread in a small area. However, the Naval Technical Committee was reprimanded. At the same time, the news that the Navy received the new battleship built by the German shipyard as the capital ship also caused a great shock.

Of course, this also made Qin Tian, ??the prince of the German Empire, not only a business genius, but also a shipbuilding genius.
