MTL - Jagged Germany

"The inertia of history and the ability to correct errors are really powerful! Unexpectedly, the 'Nassau-class' battleships still appeared after going around. However, the 'Nassau-class' battleships I designed, compared with the 'Nassau-class' battleships of the German Navy in history. The Nassau-class battleships are undoubtedly much stronger!" After leaving the office of King William II and returning to his room, Qin Tian lay on his bed and said speechlessly.

Under the decision of the wise and mighty William II, the four battleships built by Qin Tian's shipyard in the future will be named the "Nassau-class" battleships, the first ship "Nassau" and the second ship "West**" *, the third ship 'Rheinland', and the fourth ship 'Person'.

  Of course, these four battleships will be used to repay Qin Tian's debt to the royal family. As for the next level of battleship that Qin Tian promised to donate to the navy, it can only be pushed back. Donate one of the next more powerful battleships to the German Navy. In this case, it will undoubtedly make Qin Tian pay a greater cost. However, by that time Qin Tian's net worth will be even more expensive. Qin Tian would not care about such a little money at all.

  After Christmas, Qin Tian became busy. William II sent someone to officially transfer the Royal Shipyard to Qin Tian. When Qin Tian signed his name on the transfer document, it meant that he became the owner of the shipyard. In addition, the loan of 120 million marks was also transferred to Qin Tian's account. However, William II put forward strict requirements, that is, the money must be used for the expansion of the shipyard, and it is strictly forbidden to be used for other aspects. Of course, Qin Tian would not have any objections to this.

   Regarding the management of the shipyard, William II asked Qin Tian to find Essen von Jonnerette. Essen von Jonareit recommended a candidate for Qin Tian, ​​and that was Brutt. He is forty-two years old this year, and he was originally the deputy director of the Germania Shipyard. However, he left because of some things. But there is no denying his ability in managing the shipyard.

   Qin Tian met with Brutt under the introduction of Essen von Jonareit, and then decided to hire Brutt as the director of the Deutsche Shipyard under his name. What pleased Qin Tian was that Essen von Jonareit did not leave the Germania shipyard alone, but also brought a group of management and technical backbones with him. This undoubtedly saved Qin Tian a lot of trouble.

  Since the Royal Shipyard has been losing money year after year, he will not retain any of the original management of the factory. Originally, he still had a headache on how to make up for these loopholes, but the appearance of Brut undoubtedly solved all these problems.

   When changing ownership, Qin Tian also changed the name of the Royal Shipyard to Deutschland Shipyard. Same name as Deutsche Welfare Lottery. In the future, Qin Tian will start more enterprises, such as the German Automobile Manufacturer, the German Aircraft Factory, etc., to form an industrial group named after Germany.

  Just after New Year's Day, Qin Tian and Brutt boarded the train to Danzig. This time I went to Danzig to fully take over the Royal Shipyard, which has been renamed Deutschland Shipyard.

"Your Highness, I have carefully studied your design drawings of the 'Nassau-class' battleship. I have to admit that this is an epoch-making design. However, it may be very difficult for the new technologies adopted to become a reality. "Brut was a little worried.

   On the "Nassau-class" battleship designed by Qin Tian, ​​the triple installation of main guns, oil-fired boilers and steam turbines, as well as the deployment of full-heavy artillery are all new technologies. Even for those large shipyards, it is not easy to implement these technologies immediately. Not to mention that the foundation of Deutsche Shipyard is still a medium-sized shipyard, even after expansion, its strength is still limited.

Qin Tian nodded: "I know, but we still have enough time. The expansion of the shipyard will start immediately. In this way, construction can start in the second half of the year. It doesn't matter if the technical strength is insufficient, we can slow down The speed of construction is enough to be in service before 1908. The required technology can be purchased immediately, or developed by yourself. In terms of talents, you can dig the corners of major shipyards. As long as there are people with real talents and practical knowledge, we can Can be hired with a high salary."

   "Your Highness, if this happens, I'm afraid it will further offend other shipyards!" Brut frowned.

"Don't worry, they won't have the energy to target us soon. And the navy will recognize us. At that time, we will continuously receive orders from the navy, and they can only watch." Qin Tian said with a look on his face. smile.

  He believes that as long as their'Nassau-class' battleship can succeed. Then, many people will be slapped in the face. Especially the guys from the Naval Technical Committee. And the navy will naturally prefer to place orders with their shipyards. Other shipyards, in order to get orders, naturally have to ask for theirs.

   "Okay, Your Highness." Brutt nodded. Now that Qin Tian has made a decision, he just needs to follow it.

  The Friedrich Royal Shipyard is located on the left bank of the Vistula River, across from the Shuoxiao Shipyard. Both of these two shipyards have a history of more than 100 years, and they were originally owned by the Prussian royal family. Later, Shuoxiao Shipyard resold them to the outside world. However, its business philosophy obviously failed to keep up with the trend of historical development, so far it is still only a medium-sized shipyard with more than 300 workers.

  After Qin Tian and Brutt arrived here, they immediately called a meeting with the management personnel of the shipyard. Those mediocre managements were almost all cleaned up, leaving only a few truly capable people. As for ordinary workers, only a very small number of thorns were fired. The rest of them were still employed, which made these workers breathe a sigh of relief. After the shipyard was transferred out, they worried about losing their jobs. Fortunately, the new owner of the shipyard, Prince Oscar of the German Empire, does not seem to be a vicious person.

   After staying in the shipyard for two days, Qin Tian left the shipyard and returned to Berlin after handing over the responsibility for the future development of the shipyard to Brutt. He has other things to do.

   "Although the Deutsche Shipyard is still a gold swallowing beast. But soon, the whole of Europe will be shocked by it. The fate of the German Empire may be changed because of this."

   On the return train, Qin Tian thought secretly. This shipyard will soon begin to continuously build more new battleships, even aircraft carriers and submarines for the German Navy, to reverse the outcome of the war for Germany.
