Jagged Germany

Chapter 95: united krupp



   "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seeks an audience." In the luxury compartment of the special train, William II was reading the document. Essen von Jonareit told him.

   "Let him in!" William II put down the pen in his hand and rubbed his aching eyes.

   "Father, good evening." Qin Tian said hello as soon as he came in.

   "Sit down, Oscar. I haven't rested so late, what's the matter?" William II asked pleasantly.

  William II became more and more satisfied with this son. He even thought about whether to remove the pronoun of Qin Tian's Acting Crown Prince. However, thinking of Crown Prince William who is still in a vegetative state, he could not make up his mind, so he could only go on like this for the time being.

   "Father, there is one thing that I am not sure about, so I want to hear your suggestion." Qin Tian said.

   "Oh? Oscar, is there anything else that bothers you? I'm very curious about it." William II asked with interest. You know, in his eyes, Qin Tian has always been very decisive.

  Thus, Qin Tian confessed to Wilhelm II that he planned to establish a German arms company and enter the field of light weapons.

   After hearing this, William II couldn't help frowning.

"Oscar, your idea is good. However, the Imperial Army's light weapons have always been provided by Mauser and Rheinmetall. Over the years, they have formed a huge chain of interests. Once you touch them Their interests will inevitably lead to their counterattack. Even if you are the crown prince, I am afraid you will pay a considerable price for it." William II looked serious. You know, even if he is the emperor of the empire, he doesn't want to over-stimulate those industrial capitalists.

"Father, is there no other way? Although, the combat effectiveness of the German Army is the best in the world. But I think they still have a lot of room for improvement. I hope that the weapons and equipment produced by the German Arms Company can make Germany The army's combat effectiveness has been raised to a higher level. In this way, our chances of winning will be even greater in future wars. I hope that more young people can survive the war." Qin Tian looked sincere.

  Perhaps moved by Qin Tian's innocence, William II also began to actively use his brain to find a solution to the problem. After a while, he really thought of a way.

   "Oscar, it is not impossible for your plan to succeed. The key is whether you are willing to give up part of the profits." William II said.

   "Father, you mean to unite with other people?" Qin Tian asked. Being smart, he figured out William II's approach immediately.

   "Yes, only in this way can you resist their pressure." William II said.

   "Then, Royal Father, who should I seek alliance with?" Qin Tian asked. He doesn't care about sharing part of the profits. What he wanted was for his plan to succeed. As for whether he can make money, or how much money he can make, he doesn't care much.

   "Krupp. I heard that you have a good relationship with them. If you can unite with Krupp, it should be very good." William II said.

"Deutsche Shipyard and Krupp have indeed cooperated very happily. Krupp's large-caliber naval gun was developed at our request. Now, they are doing their best to publicize the 343mm naval gun. It is precisely because of the Our request." Qin Tian said.

"There is another reason, because Krupp has always been the largest and most influential among the many arms companies in the empire. If it can be united with Krupp, then the other arms companies The pressure can be ignored. For a long time, Krupp has always wanted to enter the field of light weapons, but it has not been able to succeed due to the boycott of other arms companies. If you can take this opportunity to get involved in the field of light weapons, I don't think they will refuse," said William II.

   "Yes, Father, I understand, thank you for your guidance." Qin Tian said.

  Krupp is undoubtedly a giant in the German arms industry, and its position in the field of artillery is unmatched by anyone. In addition, Krupp has also been involved in many fields, such as steel and shipbuilding. However, in the field of light weapons, Krupp has made little achievements. If Qin Tian can unite with Krupp, it will undoubtedly be a strong alliance. It can be of great help to break Germany's current monopoly in the field of light weapons. In addition, as William II said, if you unite with Krupp, you don't have to worry about resistance from other arms companies. After all, Krupp is a real giant in this regard.

   "Do it well, Oscar, I really want to see what kind of achievements you will make." William II's expectations for Qin Tian are getting bigger and bigger.

   "Father, I will definitely not let you down." Qin Tian promised.

  After returning to Berlin, Qin Tian immediately asked Karl to contact the Krupp Company. He was going to visit the head of the Krupp Company, the Krupp couple.

  The last time Qin Tian went to Krupp, Miss Beta Krupp was still in power. They reached an agreement, which made Krupp accelerate the research of large-caliber naval guns. This allowed the "Nassau-class" battleship and the "Blücher-class" battlecruiser to be completed on time. Otherwise, just like in another time and space, use the 280mm main gun instead. As a result, the capital ships of the German Imperial Navy had solid armor, but no sharp spears to strike the enemy.

  Of course, the two-tier warships have a total of 24 triple-mounted 305mm 50-caliber main guns, which also made Krupp a lot of profits. This enabled Krupp to carry out research on the 343mm main gun with high morale. After all, the Navy has a greater need for a 343mm main gun than a 305mm main gun.

   After Gustav Krupp joined the Krupp family, he and Miss Beta Krupp began to take charge of the largest arms empire in the German Empire. However, when he learned that Qin Tian was coming to visit, he still showed great importance. After all, compared to the last time, Qin Tian's identity has also undergone earth-shaking changes.

  The previous Qin Tian, ​​although he was called a business genius, was just an ordinary prince after all. But now it is different, Qin Tian is the crown prince. Although there is a generation character, it is also the crown prince!
