"Your Majesty, I have to admit that His Royal Highness Prince Oscar has a very high talent in the design of battleships. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Now it seems that his prophecies have come true. Although, we wasted more than a year. But if we try to catch up, it is not impossible for us to catch up with the British. Marshal Count Tirpitz also said.

Wilhelm II nodded, being able to make the stubborn guy on the side of the Naval Technical Committee bow his head and admit his mistake, which can be regarded as justifying Qin Tian's name. At the same time, the 180-degree turn in everyone's attitude also made him very satisfied. At least, from now on, those guys in the Naval Technical Committee will not be so high up and look like they represent authority.

"Now that the Naval Technical Committee has recognized its mistake, I will not pursue this matter anymore. However, I hope that you will learn from this and that it will never happen again. After all, this is to the detriment of the German Navy and the interests of Germany as a whole, which will put us at a disadvantage in future wars! Wilhelm II said with a serious face.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Feng? Count Warren hurriedly replied. At the same time, he was relieved.

Wilhelm II was able to hold it high like this, but gently put it down. For the Technical Committee of the Navy, it is undoubtedly a good thing. That way, at least they won't be hit too hard. Of course, after this incident, the prestige of the Naval Technical Committee has been greatly reduced. Those experts no longer dare to know themselves with authority, and they cannot listen to any other opinions.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is one thing for you to inform. After his design was rejected, Oscar was not reconciled and decided to build the battleship he designed. Therefore, he himself financed the acquisition of the Royal Shipyard and expanded it into a large shipyard. Since last November, Oskar's Deutschland shipyard has been building the battleships he designed. And, four were built at once. Because he insisted that all the expenses needed should be borne by himself. All, in this issue I did not stop. What do you think about this? Wilhelm II looked at the crowd.

Naturally, none of the German ministers present here are fools. They knew very well that Qin Tian would obviously not have been able to do it without the support of Wilhelm II. However, the battleships under construction in Qintian's shipyard have become the hope of the German Navy, and the hope of the German Navy to catch up with the British Navy, or even surpass the British Navy. At this time, naturally no one will be stupid enough to get to the bottom of it.

"Your Majesty, it seems that God has blessed the German Empire by sending us such a talented battleship designer as Prince Oscar. It was also because of his persistence that our navy would not be thrown too far by the British. Now that Prince Oscar's shipyard has already started building four new battleships, it is better to simply let the Navy accept them as the capital ships of the next level. In this way, the time required to redesign and start construction is also eliminated. Of course, the naval side can also pay Prince Oscar at the corresponding price. Prince Heinrich proposed.

In this case, it was undoubtedly the best outcome for the German Navy. Of course, for the Naval Technical Committee and other large shipyards, I'm afraid it's not so good. Orders for warships in the Navy, especially for large battleships, have always been the main source of profit for those large shipyards to compete for. Now, if the navy takes the several battleships under construction at Qin Tian's German shipyard as the capital ships of the next class, it will undoubtedly be eaten from the bowls of several major shipyards.

Feng? Count Warren opened his mouth, but in the end he said nothing. Although several shipyards have a close relationship with the Naval Technical Committee, they also provide a number of additional support to the Naval Technical Committee each year. However, in a situation where they have already made a big mistake, it is clear that there is no longer the capital to bargain on this issue.

Marshal Count Tirpitz frowned, he also thought about this question. However, with the German shipyards already building four new battleships, it was naturally impossible to have any more battleships for other shipyards to build. Of course, several other shipyards also had orders for previous battleships. Although there will be less profits, the overall impact will not be huge.

"Your Majesty, the navy is willing to accept several battleships built by the German shipyards under the command of His Royal Highness Prince Oscar as the cutting-edge capital ships of the next class of the navy." Marshal Count Tirpitz said.

The other ministers, though aware of the fact that this would cause some damage to several other shipyards. But they also knew that the tide was over, and that raising the issue again would only disgust Wilhelm II. What's more, although don't think about the order for the capital ship of the next level, there will be orders for the next level. Anyway, if the German Navy wants to compete with the British Navy for supremacy at sea, it will not only build new battleships of the first class, but there will definitely be more new battleships to be built in the future.

"Since everyone has no opinion, then it is decided. Tirpitz, I'll let Oscar come back tomorrow and sign a contract with the Navy! Kaiser Wilhelm II said.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Marshal Count Tirpitz nodded. Of course, he won't have any opinion on this. What's more, in his opinion, the battleships designed and built by Qin Tian bought the German Navy a lot of time to catch up with and surpass the British Navy, even if the new battleships they built would be commissioned later than the British Navy. However, the entry into service of four at once, and significantly stronger in performance than the British Navy's 'Dreadnought' battleship, would give the German Navy an even greater advantage.

As the head of the German Navy, Field Marshal Tirpitz valued the interests of the German Navy and hoped that the German Navy would be able to defeat the British Navy in one fell swoop in future wars, pull the British down from the throne of maritime supremacy, and realize his long-cherished wish for many years. As for the rest, it doesn't matter so much.

Although, this matter has only spread on a small scale. But the technical committee of the Navy was reprimanded, and at the same time the news that the Navy had received the new battleships built by the German shipyards as capital ships also caused a great shock.

Of course, this also made Qin Tian, the prince of the German Empire, in addition to a business genius, have another reputation as a ship-building genius.
