"And the gun mount and turret armor! The front of the 230mm turret and the 200mm turret are simply unable to withstand the attack of the opponent's armor-piercing shells, and at the normal engagement distance, Skoda's new 12-inch L45 main gun can easily break this level of defense turret into a burning iron box! It's like putting flowers, bang! The prince decisively made two more stabs. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Several pictures and appraisal reports were sent to the tables of the Kaiser and other naval personnel, which clearly showed the damage effect of the new 12-inch L45 gun with the new shells on the hardened armor plates, and a huge bullet hole appeared in the middle of the target. The radial shape of the metal is clearly visible when it melts. 、

The icons on the photographs and documents clearly indicate the conditions of the experiment, such as the muzzle velocity of the shell, the angle of fall of the shell, the thickness of the target plate, the penetration situation, etc., and the whole experiment was carried out three times, using a 12-inch gun to simulate a hit at a distance of 10 km, using armor plates with a thickness of 7 inches, 9 inches, and 11 inches. The footing is tentatively set at 20 degrees. The 7-inch and 9-inch armor plates were easily pierced, and after 3 shots each, they were easily penetrated. And the 11-inch armor plates and the 15-inch armor plates, which were placed at 9 degrees, blocked the shells.

"From this document, we can easily see the damage to hardened armor caused by the new shells. In particular, the advantages of inclined armor were taken into account in the Bavarian scheme to meet the defensive challenges posed by the new artillery, and the right way to deal with them was chosen. The prince said with a smile.

In fact, the data of the test site is higher than that of the actual combat, after all, the vertical and horizontal angles of the shells when hitting the target are considered to be greater than 20 degrees in actual combat, and during the experiment, the explosive cavity inside the shells is filled with sand as a counterweight, and the shells in the actual combat have the situation of early explosion or no explosion. But even so, in the face of the official Austro-Hungarian test report, anyone must admit that there were significant hidden dangers in Wigner's design.

When the problem was not picked up, it was nothing, but after it was picked up, the problem was big, and Wegener, as the bidder, could not continue to participate in the bidding at all, the reason was very simple, this plan was too loophole, and it would have to be changed almost completely, and the Kaiser had made clear the requirements for armor protection, which made the interests of the shipyard further smaller. Even Wigner doubted that the bigwigs of the shipyard would take the initiative to withdraw after learning about it.

"Alright, that's it, I'm disappointed at the Royal William Shipyard." The Kaiser made the final decision. Although it was not explicitly stated, it was to be expected that Wegener's plan was already out. "Prince Ruprecht, come to me after the talks. There are some things that we say privately. ”

Admiral Liao Le and Tirpitz are like defeated roosters, and this time they lost so completely. Naturally, Prince Heinrich and Admiral Boll were in charge of the aftermath, after all, the shock was too great, and it was not just a plan that was overturned this time, the battleship program at the Royal William Shipyard needed to be re-evaluated. Major General Scheer, on the other hand, has no presence. Originally, in the setting, even if it was a role for the prince to read.

"You are very good, your ability, it really opened my eyes!" Wilhelm II said with a gloomy face.

"Thanks for the compliment." The prince said calmly.

"Are you complimenting me?" The Kaiser said with a pale face, if it was not the prince sitting opposite, but a German official, no matter who he was, the Kaiser would have picked up his cane and knocked it over! But alas, there is a prince on the other side, and it is a prince of real power. This rod is going to cause a diplomatic dispute! And the latter is also the son-in-law of Emperor Ao, which is equivalent to a slap in the face of the two families......

"You must have done it on purpose, you know that there is something wrong with Wigner's plan, so you made such a scene? After sweeping our face, do you have a special sense of accomplishment? Watching our solutions being swept into the trash, you are proud, you are happy! And then see the German navy as your own territory? Is that so? Wilhelm II said angrily.

"That's to blame some people for not growing. Your Majesty, do you think this will work? Let's take a step back, the battleship scheme of the Royal William Shipyard is okay, we can help change it, and the first battleship order is given to the Royal William Shipyard. My Brom-Forss shipyard received the order for the first battle cruiser. Naval artillery with ours, how? The prince thought for a moment and said. He did not continue to dwell on the issue of face with the Kaiser. Rather, it is directly about the issue of profit sharing.

Because not too much weight and cost were invested in power, the battleship plan of the William Royal Shipyard was still okay, as long as the horizontal armor was strengthened, and the changes would not be significant. And judging by the conditions of this shipyard, it is suitable to build such a battleship, and it is impossible for the prince to monopolize the entire plan, so it is better to take a step back and see the situation first.

"And what about the battleship plan? In this round of expansion, we may have to build 7 capital ships, and there are 5 warships left, what are you going to do? The Kaiser asked.

"Everyone has their own ability! I believe that the Bavarian battleship program agreed to be more advanced than the other side, and we gave them time to upgrade the level of hardware, and if they still prevaricate on the pretext of the difficulty of construction, it will not be enough. The prince said.

"Alright then, but I would like to warn you, don't think you're going to win, you've run out of cards this time, and if the designers at the Royal William Shipyard make changes to your plan based on your suggestion, then your plan won't have any advantage. I can tell you clearly that unless your plan has benefits that are hard to refuse, I will not choose the Bavarian plan. The Kaiser said bluntly.

"I hope you remember what you said today, Your Majesty." The Kaiser's attitude is already very clear, whether you say that you are angry or angry, or you say that you threaten, anyway, the attitude that is now clear is that the Central Committee will choose Prussia instead of Bavaria under equal conditions, and this is already a serious unequal attitude. But Ruprecht didn't object, because he still had his cards!

"Huh." The Kaiser laughed dryly, "If you were Prussian, we would get along better." ”

"Hehe, if I were a Prussian, I wouldn't be where I am today!" The prince sneered in his heart. Now the prince has seen through it, and at the critical moment when the interests are divided, Wilhelm II is still inclined to Prussia, and this is still when everyone has a common goal. If the first battle is won, there are not enough chips, Bavaria may not really get any benefits, and then how will the extremely powerful Kaiser treat the little brothers, including southern Bavaria? It's really intriguing! Princess Mary is right, there are some things that should be considered as early as possible!
