"We've got rid of the Admiralty who took other people's money to make trouble for us, but there are still a lot of people within who question our designs. Are you ready for them to question our design on the grounds of stability, firepower in high sea conditions, and whether they are overweight? The traverser asked the baron who was preparing to participate in the naval tender.

"It's not a big problem, you should know very well that the warships of the Italian Navy are generally heavier, and there have been no major problems in the position so far, and our design is completely within the safety factor, although the proportion of this weapon may be a bit excessive in the eyes of the Germans." The baron didn't care.

"Attention! The warships of the Italian Navy are in the Mediterranean Sea like a bathtub, and our warships are to operate in the North Sea, the Atlantic, the Indian Ocean, the Pacific Ocean! "Although the traveler knows that there is no big problem with Garibaldi in history, when it comes to millions or even millions of pounds. The traverser is beating a drum in his heart, such a large amount is also a lot of expenses for the Bavarian royal family! He even regrets it a little now, could it be too early for him to get this design bureau? Is Vittorio Cuniberti still a little immature compared to him five years later?

The battleship is a system engineering, and no matter how good the design is, there will be some problems, and the kind that can definitely find something wrong with the thorns in the bones, the only difference is that there are big things and small problems. FOR EXAMPLE, THE BRUTE-CLASS ARMORED CRUISER WAS OVERWEIGHT, AND THE 9,000-TON HULL WAS EQUIPPED WITH 4 234MM GUNS AND 10 6-INCH GUNS, AS WELL AS A LARGE AMOUNT OF ARMOR, WHICH EXCEEDED THE EXPECTED WEIGHT. The famous Edgar-class armored cruisers in the case of high sea conditions, the rapid-fire guns in the lower part were affected by the waves.

AS FOR THE AGILE CLASS BATTLESHIP, ALTHOUGH IT HAS THE STRONGEST SIDESTRING FIREPOWER IN SERVICE, THE 12,000-TON HULL IS EQUIPPED WITH FOUR 10-INCH GUNS AND 14 190MM GUNS. And it has decent speeds. But the problem of this cargo is the biggest of all warships. ACCORDING TO THE DESCRIPTION IN A CERTAIN GHOST INFORMATION "BRITISH BATTLESHIPS IN THE PRE-DREADNOUGHT PERIOD" THAT THE TRAVERSER HAS READ, THE WEIGHT OF THE BATTLESHIP'S ARMAMENT IS TOO LARGE, AND THE POSITION OF THE SECONDARY GUN IS TOO LOW, SO THAT WHEN THE SPEED REACHES 15 KNOTS, THE 190MM GUN ON THE SIDE CHORD MAY BE AFFECTED BY THE WAVES AND CANNOT BE DESIGNED! Verse 15! Nabs! This TM is still in good sea conditions!

Therefore, on the one hand, the traverser expanded the tonnage of the battleship in order to make the German-like Garibaldi have better stability and seaworthiness, and finally the range and stability of the Munich-class armored cruiser with a tonnage of 7,500 tons have been greatly improved. If the official German price is acceptable, the traverser can consider replacing the water-tube boiler with a higher success rate to reduce the weight of the power system.

In the end, the mouth cannon ammunition originally prepared by the baron was not used. Everything went according to the pre-designed script of the two princes, and the German Navy agreed to the proposal of the Bavarian Ship Design Bureau for armored cruisers of the Munich type, but the number of the first batch of construction was only 2! Far from the four that were negotiated in advance! This puzzled the traveler and the baron. And the best way to solve the doubts is naturally to communicate directly with the German imperial family, after all, the Admiralty also has to listen to the emperor.

"The empire needs to reduce the risk, after all, this cruiser is for its own use, not for export. Excessive accumulation of firepower is quite attractive for those small countries, but for the German Navy, they value stability more. So the first batch of construction is planned for 2 ships. The way you did the pool experiment was very good, but the Admiralty had to do it again. If that's all right, start building the second batch. Crown Prince William said apologetically, after all, this is a little different from his original script.

"Understandable, but in exchange, one of the first two cruisers must be built at the Brom-Forss shipyard!" The traverser still trusts their partners very much, and with their historical "record", they can get a second order.

"If nothing else, the number of ships built in the second batch should be four or five, and there is no problem at all in allgiving them one." Crown Prince Wilhelm agreed, if this plan can continue, one of the three major German shipyards can guarantee this, then the remaining shipyards will compete on their own!

In the end, the number of Munich-class armored cruisers finalized for construction was 6-7 units! This program will be completed in 5 years, and they will replace the old German cruiser formations, 3 of which will cruise around the world as the backbone of the German overseas fleet. The other four will serve as substitutes and the backbone of the home defense. In terms of cost, their total construction cost was somewhat lower than that of the four historic Brandenburg-class battleships, but considering that it was a long process, rather than requiring construction to start in 1890, the financial pressure was not great. And when looking through the information provided by the prince, the traveler also found another problem, this construction plan seems to be a little different from the historical one!

"Is the Reich going to start construction of only half a dozen armored cruisers in the coming years? Isn't there a single coastal defense ship built? Looking at the document in front of him, the traverser said curiously. If historically the Germans had built only 4 Brandenburg-class battleships in 3 years, then this resolution would not have been difficult in parliament at all, for the simple reason that 4 battleships cost 4? That's just over £4 million! The annual expenditure on the construction of ships is converted into more than 20 million marks. That's a penny!

Then there is only one explanation, and that is that these 4 Brandenburg-class battleships were nothing more than part of the German morning plans of the early 90s! Historically, the Germans, while trying the former dreadnought battleships, continued to build coastal defense battleships in large numbers! From 1890 to 1892, the Germans started construction of 7 shore defense warships of the Siegfried type alone! Although the displacement of these warships is not much, only about 3,700 tons, but there are many of them! And there is also a 6,200-ton cruiser that was also started in 1890, and these things together are the entire shipbuilding plan of the German Navy in the early 90s!

Because of the existence of the reinsurance treaty, the threat of the Russians to the Baltic Sea has been greatly reduced, and as the Russian double-headed eagle gradually looks to the East, in the foreseeable future, Germany will be very safe in the Baltic direction, so invisibly, the Siegfried type shore defense warship was cut down! This saves a lot of money!

"Although the Munich type armored cruiser is indeed excellent, but its tonnage is too small, and the armament it carries is still far from the first-class warship, the empire needs a good enough warship as the pillar of the fleet, your Excellency should be able to understand what I mean?" Wilhelm II said meaningfully.

"Bigger cruisers, or battleships?" Ruprecht asked rhetorically.

"After the Munich type armored cruiser is fully completed, there are enough armored cruisers in the Reich, and I hope that there will be a battleship that can rival the latest British battleship to serve as the flagship of the High Seas Fleet!" The crown prince said with a smile.

"As long as you have a budget, we'll take care of the rest!" The traverser replied very dryly.
