Jagged Germany

"His Royal Highness, Krupp has just completed the development of the 280mm main gun. We have successfully implemented rapid-fire on the 280mm main gun, which has greatly improved the rate of fire. If it is a 305mm main gun If so, there are only old-fashioned 305mm main guns at present. In addition, we have never manufactured a triple-mounted 305mm main gun. Our engineers believe that when the main gun salvo is formed, the muzzle storm formed will affect the accuracy of the main gun. It has a fatal impact." Miss Beta Krupp shook her head.

   "Miss Krupp, Krupp represents the most advanced artillery manufacturing level in Germany. I believe that Krupp will be able to manufacture naval guns that meet my requirements." Qin Tian shook his head. Although the 280mm main gun is good, the armor-piercing ability is too weak after all.

  Although, the armor-piercing capability of the 280mm main gun manufactured by Krupp even surpasses the 305mm main gun of the British Navy. However, Qin Tian was still not satisfied with it. You know, in another time and space. Among the several dreadnoughts of the German Navy, the 'Nassau-class' battleships are equipped with 280mm main guns, and the following battleships, except for the 'Bavaria-class' battleships which are equipped with 380mm main guns, the rest are equipped with 305 mm main gun. The battleships of the British Navy are equipped with 305mm main guns, 343mm main guns and 381mm main guns. In terms of the caliber of the main gun, the German Navy is at a disadvantage. Despite the good performance, the performance of the main guns of the German Navy is no worse than that of the British Navy. But if the German Navy can not lag behind the British in terms of caliber from the beginning, this will undoubtedly make the German Navy's battleships more powerful.

  In future naval battles, it can pose a greater threat to the British Navy. You must know that the British Navy originally sacrificed defense in pursuit of firepower and speed. In front of the powerful main gun of the German Navy, this is clearly a dumpling with thin skin and big stuffing.

   "Your Highness, this is really too difficult. The triple 305mm 50-caliber main gun you requested is completely beyond our current capabilities." Ms. Beta Krupp shook her head. Now the main naval gun promoted by Krupp is still 280mm and 45 times the caliber. It was more than a star and a half behind the 305 mm 50-caliber main gun that Qin Tian requested.

  Although, with Krupp's scientific research strength, if it invests a huge amount of money, it may not be impossible to develop the main gun requested by Qin Tian in a short period of time. However, such an investment is somewhat too large.

"Miss Krupp, our purchase quantity will exceed 12 seats and 36 doors. And this is only the first phase. Maybe we will purchase some in the second phase. Such a quantity is already very large!" Qin God persuaded.

   "More than 12 seats and 36 doors?" Beta Krupp was lost in thought. For large-caliber artillery, such a purchase quantity is not too small. However, after investing a huge amount of money in research and development, Krupp will not make any profits in this regard, and may even experience certain losses.

"Miss Krupp, although Krupp is the top arms manufacturer in Germany, I have to admit that compared with the British arms company, we have lagged behind seriously in terms of the caliber of the main gun. The British The new 305mm main gun is probably finalized. They have even started research and development of a larger caliber main gun. If we don't catch up, we will be left farther behind by the British. In this way, once the war breaks out , we may be at a disadvantage. I am afraid this is not what Miss Krupp wants to see!" Qin Tian said.

  The Krupp family and the German Empire have long been tied together, the so-called prosperity and prosperity, and the loss and loss. Once the German Empire fails in future wars, the Krupp family will inevitably suffer heavy losses.

  If war breaks out in the future, the Krupp family naturally hopes that the German Empire can win. In this way, their arms empire can also gain greater benefits along with Germany's victory. After all, once a war starts, a lot of weapons and ammunition are needed. It is obviously impossible for the country to immediately take out cash to purchase in the middle of a war. It is often only after the end of the war that it is paid out of the war dividend. Once you lose, you will naturally lose everything.

  Miss Beta Krupp did not make a decision immediately, but thought it over carefully. Indeed, in terms of the 305mm main gun ordered by Qin Tian, ​​Krupp hardly has much profit in scientific research. But if Qin Tian continues to order more large-caliber main guns, Krupp will still be profitable after all. However, because of the huge investment in research and development, the profit will not be too large.

  Of course, many times the accounts cannot be calculated like this. Although on the surface they don't make much profit, they can make up for it in other ways.

"His Royal Highness, is Deutschland Shipyard ordering so much steel, armor, and main guns to build the next-level battleship for the navy? However, I have not received relevant information!" Ms. Beta Krupp frowned. He frowned.

   If the German Navy starts building the next level of capital ships, it will definitely be a big deal. Judging from the information Ms. Beta Krupp received, it seems that the Navy has no such plan. The last three of the German Navy's "Brunswick-class" battleships, as well as the "Deutschland-class" battleships, are still under intense construction. At least until these battleships under construction are almost completed, they will not consider the next level of battleships.

Qin Tian nodded: "That's true. However, I started the construction first because of my commitment to the navy. However, if the battleship I built is approved by the navy, then it will become the navy's next-level ship. Capital ships. Even the capital ships of the next level will be built by my shipyard.

  I hope to have a long-term cooperation with Krupp. Because this is very beneficial to both of us. "

   "Your Highness, can you guarantee that the battleship you build will definitely win the favor of the navy?" Miss Beta Krupp looked serious.

"Of course, if I can't be accepted by the navy, then I have to repay the debt of 200 million marks. Although, that is nothing to me. However, 200 million marks is a big amount after all." Qin Tianyi Confidence in the face.

  Beta Krupp hesitated for a moment, and a flash of determination flashed in his eyes: "Okay, Your Royal Highness, I hope we can cooperate happily!"

"Happy cooperation, Miss Krupp. Soon you will find that you have made a wise choice today. However, I still want to remind miss that the caliber is the truth. The caliber of the main gun must be continuously expanded. It is best to Fifty times the caliber. In this case, it will be more powerful." Qin Tian reminded.

   Beta? Krupp nodded heavily.
