"I have to say that there is one thing that is very sad in your country, that is, the three main fleets have been completely divided. It is impossible for the Black Sea Fleet to sail out of the Black Sea, so the only fleets that your country can mobilize are the Baltic Fleet and the Far East Fleet. Let me start by saying that if there is a discrepancy, I hope you can add it to me, can you? Mr. Makanov? I'm a person who likes to perform, especially when I'm trying to suppress my opponents in terms of intelligence, and I'm always happy to answer their questions. Ruprecht said with a smile.
"The Black Sea Fleet is excluded, too old warships and too small warships are excluded, what warships can be used in your country, we take the warships that served after 1890 as the standard, and the warships of more than 8,000 tons can be used as the bottom line that can be mobilized.
"Judging from the timeline, there are a total of 2 Alexander II-class battleships in service in 1891, although they meet our requirements in terms of time and tonnage, but what performance I think everyone knows, 2 12-inch L30 guns, 4 9-inch L35 guns, no turret structure, the rate of fire is terrible slow, the armor belt is still the ancient steel-faced iron armor, which may not be able to block heavy artillery fire, and the coverage area is very small, and rapid-fire guns can be burned to death! What's even more unbearable is that the speed is only 15.3 knots! This is still the data when it was first built, can it run 14 knots now? Whether these two battleships can be counted, everyone should understand it better, right? ”
"The Navarin, which was commissioned this year, is no less wonderful, launched in 1889 and commissioned only this year! The steel armor is still used, and the firepower seems to have improved. 4 12-inch L35 main guns and 8 6-inch guns can't beat the Japanese second-class battleships, nor can they beat the Russian-class 10,000-ton armored cruisers, and what's worse is that the speed still doesn't exceed 16 knots, and they can't run. Let's just count one. ”
"The great battleship Siessos, this battleship is not great. It's almost the same level as the Navarin, but it doesn't matter, let's count it, now Russia has 2 barely okay battleships that can be transferred to the Far East. ”
"There are only 2 battleships, of course, if your country can let Alexander II go to the Far East, then even if there are 4 of them, but what about the combat effectiveness, I think everyone knows better. But fortunately, your country also ordered 2 Munich-class armored cruisers from my shipyard. 2-4 battleships plus three cruisers, this combat power I personally think can barely fight a dozen. ”
"But I still don't like you as a result, for the simple reason that the firepower of one Russian is about the same as that of two Munich. The remaining Japanese still have 3 10,000-ton warships, and 4 10,000-ton warships to fight your country. And then the Japanese had a huge advantage over the dome cruisers. This naval battle, you tell me who can win? ”
"If you consider the port situation, then the Japanese have a greater advantage. How many ports do people have? Repairs, resupply and port defense are excellent. And what about your country? Is there anything else but a Vladivostok? Of course, if the Japanese choose to go to war in winter. Your navy will be saved, the frozen waters of Vladivostok prevent the Japanese from attacking, and at the same time leave your country without a little power in the seas of the Far East! ”
"Well, to sum up, I think that if Japan had attacked in 1898. You don't have any chance of winning, and you can't win with God on your side! Do you have any comments? Who has anything to say? I could add to that. After speaking, His Royal Highness sat back.
What the prince said is already very clear, Maozi, you are too brainless to do things, and you just yin the opponent and abandon your martial arts. How about having money? When you have money, you can get a warship right away? The construction cycle of this thing is a rigid indicator. Do you know what rigidity is? That's an objective law, and it can't be changed! You can't even have money. Japan is also amazing! Directly seized this gap, took advantage of your illness to kill you, and directly reversed the disadvantage in the Far East Sea. If Japan really moves you, what will you do with Russia? Russia and North Korea barely share a border, the Far East Railway has not yet been built, the Far East Army is considered to have nothing to play, and now the Navy is also at a disadvantage, aren't you dying?
"Make a price, let's buy it back!" Lobanov finally came to his senses and said with a pale face. After Ruprecht finished speaking, Makanov didn't even fart, which means that the actual situation is really the same as the prince said. If there is a fight, the Russians will definitely not have a chance. Otherwise, Russia will abandon North Korea and choose for itself. Of course, no matter how you choose, you are dead.
"Relations between Russia and Germany have always been very friendly, and I am responsible for the rift in relations between the two countries caused by some previous changes. I'm sorry for the damage caused to your country, but it can be remedied. We were allies, at least during the Qing-Japanese War. And you and the Japanese fleet once fought. Fixed price, £850,000, let's buy it back, okay? Lobanov said in the most sincere tone.
"£850,000 won't make up for my trauma." Ruprecht smiled slightly. "In business, don't talk to me about any national relations, this thing is just a rag for you, wipe it twice when you use it, and throw it away directly when you don't use it, don't expect Prime Minister Bismarck to help you. He had no influence on Bavaria. The Kaiser can't control who I want to sell my ship to. Hurry back and tell Nicholas II all this. And then come up with a higher price than the United States, Britain and Japan, otherwise everything is not to be discussed, from my personal point of view, I would like to see you spend the rest of your life in prison. ”
"Will Japan really do anything to Russia in 1898?" Standing on the terrace of Swan Castle, Tirpitz said with some skepticism.
"It's not necessarily, if everything continues to develop like this, don't do it, the Russians will also be cowardly." Ruprecht said.
"The Russians really made a very bad move." Tirpitz lamented.
"If this can be done, then it will be fine. Although I hate Japan as a country, I have to say that sometimes, their planning is really good. Remember what I said today, 1898 must have been a wonderful year! It's definitely not just Russia that is unlucky! The prince smiled mysteriously.
"How much more could it be?" Tirpitz came interested.
"Very big thing. I'm afraid that the world's first-rate countries will be involved. ”
"Then I would venture to ask, if the Russians were willing to pay the price of 900,000 pounds, would you still give these two warships back to the Russians?" Tirpitz didn't understand what the prince said earlier, and he was too embarrassed to ask again, so he rationally changed the topic.
"No!" The prince replied very simply.
"Because Japan will send 950,000! Or even higher! Plus, money is just one aspect. More benefits are not measurable in terms of money. There is still one year left before the completion of the two battleships, and I have time to play with them. The prince said with a smile.
"Where does Japan get so much money?" Tirpitz said in disbelief.
"Neither Britain nor the United States wants Spain or Russia to get these two warships, where do you say Japan's money comes from? Okay, let's sort out the content of today's talks, and then I'll go talk to the Americans. Ruprecht said.
