"Ernst. Foss, what do you think of the proposal of that Bavarian ship design bureau? "Herman. Brom took a sip of his coffee and looked at the silent old man across from him.

"Those abominable nobles! Their proposal is, in a way, an ultimatum! If we refuse, the order for the first batch of armored cruisers may not be our turn! In the coming years, we in the warship industry will be able to survive only by repairing ships and building a few cruisers of the third rank. It will even be thrown far away by the big shipyards! "Ernst. Foss said angrily.

"Our technology and speed are absolutely the best in the German Empire, and by sheer strength, we can definitely get a piece of the pie from the first batch of orders for four armored cruisers! Herman. Brom reassured. Although it is a purely private shipyard, it is not inferior to all German shipyards of the same period, especially the speed of shipbuilding, if they say that Germany is second, I am afraid that no one dares to say that it is first! This can be seen in the comparison with other shipyards in history!

The last book talked about the construction of the 3rd class armored cruiser in which the plant participated, so good, let's analyze it level by level! The first ship of the Prince Albert armored cruiser was built at the Kieldeutsch shipyard, construction began in 1900, and it was completed in January 1904! The whole construction process took almost four years, and the second ship was built at the Brom-Forss shipyard, which began in 1901 and was completed in December 1903! The second ship started several months later than the first ship, but the completion time was a month earlier! The Admiralty's shipyards were the first to lose!

The Kieldeutsch shipyard, which lost for a while, expressed dissatisfaction, claiming that the sample had the ability to continue to compare! So, in the construction of the next class armored cruiser Ron-class, the two shipyards once again competed! Kiel Shipyard is responsible for the first, and Brom-Forss Shipyard builds the second! It turns out that there are always striking parallels in history! The Kiel Naval Shipyard began in 1902 and the Brof-Foss Shipyard in 1903, and then the difference in time for completion was even greater than the first! The first ship was commissioned in April 1906, while the second ship was completed in November 1905! The construction period of a 10,000-ton armored cruiser was actually compressed to less than 2 years! Who can match this achievement?

As one of Germany's three major shipyards, the Kieldeutsch Shipyard said that it was not convinced! And another Bremen Wieser shipyard jumped out and said that his brother was not convinced! So, during the construction of the famous Scharnhorst-class armored cruisers, the two sides competed again! This time it was the opponent who started construction first, Wiesel started construction in 1904, when it lasted more than 3 years, and finally delivered to the Navy in March 08, they were suddenly surprised to find that the opponent started construction in 05 and delivered to the Navy in October 07! It's not too much to say that it's been almost 1 year! Since then, the speed of construction of the Brom-Foss shipyard has been well known throughout Germany!

What would happen if everyone spent the same amount of time building? The Kiel shipyard later undertook the construction of the armored cruiser Blücher, who in turn built the battlecruiser von der Tann, the first German capital ship to use a steam turbine and the first battlecruiser! Without any reference, both shipyards completed these two battleships in almost the same amount of time!

To put it bluntly, at the same time, the latter can come out with a pure BC, while the former can only complete a final loading! This TM is the gap!

In the years that followed, almost all of the BC was built by this shipyard, and when the famous Deflinger-class battlecruisers were put under construction, the shipyards of Danzig competed with them, and then the result is well known! Chocolate started work in January 12, and entered service in November 14, and Ryutsov? It seems that construction began in May '12 and was commissioned in March '16. ‘

However, it was this NB shipyard that did not build a single battleship in the entire history of the 1st World War in Germany! Personally, I think it's not as difficult to build BC as a BB of the same level, right? (The author doesn't know anything, everyone makes up for it by themselves!) ）

"In Germany, it's never technology and competence that determine status. Germania Shipyard, Kiel Shipyard, Kaiser Wilhelmshaven Shipyard, and Volken Shipyard all have state support behind them, or the support of large industrial groups, even if our technology is powerful, we still can't compete with their policy advantages! Fox sighed and said, "Unless we have that advantage too!" ”

"Didn't the Italian come up with an idea that suited our requirements?" Brom said with some curiosity. "If we work with them, won't we be able to get the coveted order? And after the recent incident, the Admiralty will not trouble the prince. Because those who don't have long eyes have been cleaned up! ”

"The point is that their requirements are too high, 30% of the dry shares! Together with the two of us, they will become the largest shareholders of the shipyard, and if they join the other shareholders, they will easily have an overwhelming majority on the board! This ratio is absolutely intolerable to us! This is tantamount to handing over the shipyard that we have worked so hard to do! Foss said in disgust.

So the two founders fell into a dilemma, the first option was to give up the partner with the other party, and then say goodbye to the Navy's order. Maybe it won't even have anything to do with the Navy's order in the future. The second option is surrender. However, this is tantamount to saying goodbye to your own shipyard! In other words, it is a knife to stretch out the head, and it is still a knife to shrink back. It's the same knife, what do you say?

"Why do we have to control the equity? If we want to take control of this shipyard, we can take it slowly, hold a small number of shares, and then join some other shareholders in the attack, or spread the shares in the name of multiple companies, and then sell them in a centralized manner. Around the same time, the traverser asked his chief ship designer and salesman.

"I don't care whose name this shipyard is, after all, even if the controlling stake is completed, it will be the Bavarian royal family, not me! Do you say? The baron said, rolling his eyes.

"I'm TM." It's just a little bit, and the national scolding is exported!!

"The key is that I want to take control of the direction of this shipyard! I want them to keep up with us! The pace of German shipyards is so slow that not even a single 10,000-ton warship has been built until now! The Munich-class armored cruisers were nothing more than a transitional item! We also have blueprints for more powerful warships! And this battleship is not something that Germany can build at the moment! The more the design bureau earns, the richer I can get! So, let's take a long-term view! Our goal is not Germany, but the whole world! Baron Vittorio said this, and the light emitted by his two eyes made the traverser a little trance for a while,

"Obsession! Without such an obsession, how can you succeed? The traverser couldn't help but sigh! If this person travels into the flood novel, the most difficult self may come out at once! The pace of the Germans is indeed slow, and the speed of a little turtle movement really cannot keep up with the trend of the world!

"The Munich-class armored cruiser is for export, in fact, from the bottom of my heart, I don't like this tonnage, and this ability, although it is enough to match all the current opponents, but it can't deal with those who are more powerful."

The traverser is telling the truth, no matter how strong Garibaldi is in history, he can't compare to the 6 ACRs of the Japanese. By 1905, it can only be said that it was not outdated. And in this plane, Garibaldi's early appearance, who knows what butterfly effect will be triggered? It's better to prepare as early as possible. After all, Germany's naval military spending cannot be compared with Britain, if Britain is a potential opponent, not to mention dealing with the invincible BC, at least it must be able to fight back under the blows of these ACRs of the Minotaur, right?

Thanks to the book friend zhouyu1976 for the tip~~~. From today, the recommendation is coming~~~. The author will be updated at least twice a day during the recommended period ~~~, and the collection will be more than 200 plus a chapter on the same day~~~, which shall be subject to the starting point data network ~~~~~.
