Knowing that the Mongol Khanate was going to purchase a large number of capital ships to build a modern navy, even the Emperor Lin Ziran was alarmed, and he personally paid attention to it, asking all departments to cooperate with the arms trading company and strive to win this large order!

That's an order for battleships.

Over the years, the Daheng Empire has also sold a first-class battleship and several second-class battleships to the Orr Kingdom, but the arms trade with the Orr Kingdom is relatively special, because the Empire has no competitors at all, and the Orr Kingdom cannot obtain them from other countries except for the purchase of battleships from the Empire.

In addition, the Orr Kingdom is facing a great threat of war, and it is not short of money, so it will continue to order battleships from the Daheng Empire, but even so, the order in the early years was only the second-class battleship Princess class.

This year, because of the threat of war, the Orr urgently ordered a battleship, but the order for this battleship was full of twists and turns, although it had been finalized before the outbreak of the Orr War, but after the outbreak of the war, the Orr people proposed to modify the design of the battleship.

All countries can learn from the experience and lessons of the Battle of Ian, and as a participant in the Navy, the Aer Kingdom Navy is even more deeply touched.

Low-freeboard battleships were no longer useful, they had to have high freeboard, and the number of secondary guns had to be increased to deal with the torpedo boat threat.

But after improving the design, the tonnage has increased, and the price has come up all of a sudden, although the Orr Kingdom has money, but now it is at war, the funds are extremely tight, and this new warship will not be completed in a few years, and by that time, there is a high probability that the Orr War has ended.

It is impossible for them to spend the most precious funds on hand now for the battleship that they can get in a few years, so they have not given the money for a long time, and now they say that the 300 mm 30 times caliber naval gun is not powerful enough, and they want 350 mm and 30 times the caliber naval gun, so the previous design has been overturned again!

Therefore, the improved high-freeboard version of the Endless Sea-class battleship built for the Orrs has not actually started until now......

As for the two armored cruisers of the four countries on the east coast, although that was also the first time in the history of the Great Heng Empire that armored cruisers were exported to countries other than the Orr Kingdom, they were not battleships after all.

The meaning is not the same!

In order to win orders, especially when it was learned that the Mongol Khanate was inclined to go to Krull to order capital ships, the Daheng Empire acted quickly.

In the Daheng Arms Trading Company, a team led by a number of senior negotiators was dispatched, and at the same time, the Navy Ship Administration Department and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also sent heavyweights to participate in the tour to start the tour of selling battleships.

In order to obtain orders, in addition to the new generation of battleships of various types that were kept secret, the Daheng Empire even took them to see all the cutting-edge battleships under construction, and at the same time recommended to them the high-freeboard battleships improved from the Endless Sea-class battleships, with a displacement of 12,000 tons, four 300 mm 300 mm 30 times the caliber main guns, and a larger number of 70 mm and 40 mm guns, especially 40 mm machine guns.

But what made Daheng Arms Trading Company helpless was that the Mongol Khanate didn't look down on this thing at all......

The representative of the Mongol Khanate said: "The high-freeboard design is indeed the latest contemporary design, which meets the needs of ocean-going operations in the latest era, which is also our clear warship design requirements, but this main gun is a little less powerful!" ”

"These 300 mm caliber 30 times the artillery is no longer able to keep up with the times, before coming to your country, we have already contacted the Krull Kingdom, they can provide us with 350 mm 30 times the caliber of the main gun!"

Hearing this, the delegation of the Daheng Empire on the opposite side did not show disappointment, and after the representatives of the Daheng Empire turned around and said a few words, the person in charge of the delegation immediately said: "If your country needs advanced naval guns with 350 mm and 30 times the caliber, we can also provide it!" ”

The representative of Mongol immediately said: "Can you provide it?" ”

When he said this, he was expectant, and he wanted to hear the answer he wanted to hear!

The representative of Daheng said: "Yes, if you have time, we can take you to watch the live firing of this type of naval gun!" ”

Immediately, the young man in the center of the Mongol delegation stood up: "Then go and see!" ”

This is a young man dressed in the uniform of a naval officer in Mongol with the rank of colonel, although he has not spoken before, he is the head of the delegation of the Mongol Great Khanate, and he is also the younger brother of the current Great Khan of the Mongol Khanate: Prince Sani.

Since he opened his mouth and made a decision, then it will be easy to do next, and the people of Daheng took them directly to the testing ground!

When Prince Sani saw the well-prepared naval guns in front of him, he couldn't help but take a few deep breaths!

This is really a 350 mm 30 times caliber naval gun, the top naval gun on the contemporary Blue Star!

I didn't expect that these Daheng people had really succeeded in research and development, and they became the third country on the Blue Star to successfully develop this kind of large-caliber long-barreled naval gun in addition to the Krull Kingdom and the Valya Kingdom.

If the arms trade of the Great Heng people is really as cheap as rumored by the outside world, and there are no political conditions attached, then the capital ships of the Khanate will be lost.

In fact, the Mongol Great Khanate had already been in contact with the Krull Kingdom before, and made a request to purchase naval guns equipped with 350 mm and 30 times the caliber.

The Krull Kingdom is willing to provide it, they are similar to the Great Heng Empire, except for the weapons and equipment in the secret state, the others are basically bought, but their quality is good, and the price is generally expensive, and the top naval guns are naturally extremely expensive.

The price of the warships of the Krull Kingdom is already very high, and the price of this warship with 350 mm caliber guns is basically sky.

The sky-high price of battleships is unacceptable to the Mongol Khanate!

What's more, the Mongol Great Khanate, like the original Olisa Empire, hoped not only to buy finished warships, but also to take advantage of this opportunity to develop their own shipbuilding industry, so they proposed a series of technology transfers, including the manufacturing technology of 350 mm and 30 times the caliber of naval guns.

Although the Mongol Great Khanate boasted that its comprehensive national strength could enter the top ten in the world, and there were some industries in the country, there was a lack of heavy industry, at least they themselves could not build this advanced warship on their own, and they could only purchase it externally.

Not only battleships, cruisers and even torpedo boats, they all wanted to introduce technology and finally achieve their own creation.

When the delegation of the Krull Kingdom heard about this request, they were overjoyed, and their foreign minister inquired and personally led the team, and then urgently contacted the bosses of almost all the large enterprises in the Krull Kingdom, and many people worked tirelessly day and night to make a list of more than 500 pages!

It's all a list of various factories and technologies.

Then the foreign minister of the Krull Kingdom personally handed the list to Prince Sani: "Boss, this is the list of technologies you want, which involves a total of twenty-six major categories and more than one thousand two hundred sub-categories. ”

"We have carefully counted, this is the minimum requirement for the industrial system to build a battleship!"

"And look at how cheap this is, you only need to spend five billion to build a complete industrial system, and then build the most advanced battleship of our time!"

"It's not me who blew it, in the entire Blue Star, only our Krull Kingdom can provide a complete set of industrial systems, you see those Heng barbarians, they have purchased billions of dollars from us in the past few years, this can be regarded as setting up a shelf for the industrial system, otherwise they are still shaving in the fields!"

"But they have a good background, so it only cost a few billion yuan, boss, your industrial background is a little worse, we estimate that even if you only build battleships, it will take at least five billion to build it!"

Five billion Hengyuan!

Are you crazy or am I crazy?

If five million battleships, I can buy a thousand!
