Chapter 382: Come on, show your weapons!

"I'm rubbing! Is the imagination of the Germans still very rich? Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info several common layouts in the dreadnought era are available! Why did the historical Nassau and Helgoland choose the worst layout? The prince sighed with emotion and flipped through the file next to him, which looked like a hill, and couldn't help but shake his head.

"Alright, guys, can we hurry? Don't waste your time on schemes that are destined to be thrown out! The prince knocked on the table. The design of some things is obviously behind the times, even our existing warships are inferior, and some things are too small, we can eliminate these first, and we can also make our work efficiency higher! ”

"Rub, you're starting to eliminate your opponent now? Too arrogant, isn't it?! Tirpitz's head buzzed. I thought to myself, this prince is really a fierce ....... Looking at the few people next to them, they were also a little dissatisfied in their eyes, but they were dissatisfied, and no one dared to say it for a while.

The high authority of the opponent is one aspect, but people also understand technology! There are a few people left, if you don't count the staff, you can't beat the prince if you don't tie them together, of course, you can't beat the staff either, Count Vittorio is too strong, and the level is a line higher! A gangster with the right and money, and a professional counterpart, just ask if you are afraid!

"But we should also give the designers a chance, and just sweep them out without listening to their arguments, right?" Admiral Liao Le looked at Tirpitz who was nested next to him without saying a word, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Originally, Tirpitz's Admiralty was supposed to be in charge of the material preparation of the Navy, including the bidding for warships, and it was naturally most appropriate for him to come out and speak at this time, but obviously, Tirpitz was instigated, so he could only let him, the head of the Naval Office, stand up.

"So can anyone explain to me what is reasonable about the No. 1 scheme that Volkeng Shipyard came up with? 6 turrets were deployed on the battleship in the shape of a diamond. Such a terrible design, except for the fact that I used this method on the warships I sold to the Russians and the Japanese in the first place, who have seen such a terrible layout? "Prince Ruprecht threw one of the documents in front of the other party!

"The design of the Volkeng plant is to consider two situations, the first is that when the fleet is flanked by fire from both sides, it can be fought against both sides at the same time, and the second situation is that after the fire on one side is damaged or the personnel are tired, it can be compensated by the fire of the other side." Admiral Pol said.

"Are you kidding? Now that the German Navy is 7 to 8 kilometers away, how can they coordinate if the other side flanks our warships? Even if we take a step back and they successfully carry out the flanking attack, and each of the other side's detachments is very strong, then I would like to ask, why don't we choose to retreat? Knowing that the fighting situation is extremely bad? The prince laughed angrily.

"We use 6 turrets, but we can only use the firepower of 4 turrets at most, and who can tell me what is the value of this solution? Comparatively speaking, Volkeng's plan No. 2 was more reliable, directly meeting the layout of the Mainz-class armored cruiser, with the fire of 8 main guns in a certain angle on the side chord. The prince said.

"Then you mean, you think Volkeng's plan No. 2 has merit?" Prince Heinrich, who had not spoken, asked tentatively.

"At least better than Plan 1." The prince said.

"Do you think that's okay? Plan No. 1 at the Volkeng shipyard was scrapped, and Plan No. 2 passed the pre-selection. Prince Heinrich said.

"Okay, you can!" The prince said in his heart that this plan of retreating is powerful! Giving up a plan that is bound to fail, and sending another plan to it at the same time, this is a clever way to protect the car. But the prince didn't say much, because this No. 2 plan does have certain merits, and it is not appropriate to throw it away in the first instance. After all, they were designed according to the layout of Mainz.

"Your Royal Highness, I have carefully looked at the Bavarian designs, and in general, they are very good in terms of data, with triple turrets, a new three-row boiler arrangement, a new underwater defense system, and so on. Very thoughtful and very engaging. But what I'm trying to say is, aren't these designs a little too avant-garde? Especially the triple turret. This is a bit difficult. Tirpitz also put down what he was doing.

"There are some avant-garde and some risks, but we are willing to take this risk, if the battleship cannot meet the expected standards because of design problems, we in Bavaria can compensate or improve it for free, this is always okay, right? And if there is a problem with the other shipyards' solutions, can they make the same commitment as we do? The prince asked rhetorically.

"But the battleship, with a total displacement of 26,000 tons, was still a little larger. More than most of our shipyards can do, we can't afford to give all the orders to the Brom-Forss shipyard and the Germania shipyard, right? Admiral Liao Le next to him said.

"Oh, I see, it turns out that you are thinking about how to divide this cake, not how to make this cake! Is it our fault that other factories have hardware shortcomings? What is the purpose of the bidding? Isn't it the best of the best? Competition is efficient, did the Prussian capitalists see the construction of the navy as a feast? Should Bavaria be excluded? The prince said angrily!

"That's not what I meant, Your Highness the Prince. Expanding the navy requires a lot of shipyards, and in order to ensure that a sufficient number of ships can be built, we must consider the technical conditions of other shipyards, and your ships are technically difficult and too expensive, which we must consider. We don't want the most advanced weapons, but the most suitable ones. Prince Heinrich immediately came to the round.

"Do you think that's going to work? If Bavaria can come up with a finished product of 3 turrets, then all the plans for 3 turrets can pass the preliminary review, how about it? Tirpitz proposed a compromise.

"All the twin turrets of the new warships are also new, do you want to ask Krupp to come up with a sample of the new twin turrets now? It's all new turrets, so why do we in Bavaria need to come up with samples now? It's not fair! The prince retorted.

"How about in half a year? Before the battleship lays down the first keel, we take out samples of all the subsystems! The prince said.

"Your Highness, we can't decide this, we can only leave it to the Kaiser to decide. We can put this issue aside for now and move on to other issues. Seeing that the situation was going to be deadlocked, the two sides decided to put it aside for the time being. De-escalate the conflict.
