Chapter 26: Mess With Us!

In a sense, the traverser is as powerful as a certain baron's obsession, and everyone wants to build better warships and make more money! As for reversing the historical trend and beating the British Navy or something, this will be at least 10 years later, after all the subsystems needed for dreadnoughts come out!

For the Baron, who is quite ambitious, and has a good hand of cards in his hand, and has strong operability, the traverser is naturally strongly supportive! Thus, Mr. Baron became the plenipotentiary of His Royal Highness the Prince! Involved in negotiations with the Brom-Forss shipyard!

"That. After all, it's a partner, leaving some room for language. Before entrusting Baron Rio Cuniberti to leave, the traverser made a point of reminding. The other party hummed twice and nodded, as for how much he listened, only he knew!

Two days later, in Brom's villa, a baron and an earl's brother arrived at the chosen negotiating facility! Professional things should be left to professionals! The latter count from Bavaria is just an assistant and a means of intimidation! After all, Germany's real title still carries a lot of weight!

"Two dear gentlemen, you must have seen our offer, and I'm sure you don't know how many times you've discussed it in the course of a few days! And we may have been seen as devils and beasts behind our backs! And today, the reason why you are sitting here is that I think you two should have a certain judgment of the situation, which is very good! But it's not enough! "The Baron has long since thrown the traverser's advice to Java! He's a businessman at heart! Since you have the advantage, it will be too embarrassing to be able to press yourself if you don't press it again! And after listening to his words, the faces of the two gentlemen opposite suddenly became gloomy!

"Now, then, we can discuss the plans of the Bavarian royal family! First of all, the Bavarian royal family was not very interested in controlling a shipyard far from its own homeland. We just fancy your management level and the efficiency of your shipyard! That's all! Even if we acquire a controlling stake, we have no interest in the management of the business, provided that you are as efficient as we are satisfied with! "Entrust Baron Leo to say!

"Can this guarantee be written into the cooperation document?" Foss's eyes lit up and he said immediately.

"Absolutely! But only if your shipbuilding speed can reach this standard! Since then, it has risen year by year. "Count Leo was entrusted with the delivery of a document to Foss.

"The first Munich-class armored cruiser will be completed in 30 months? And the second one to be completed in 25 months? Although the requirements are a little higher, I am more concerned about the fact that in the first batch of construction plans, can you help us get an order for 2 ships? Foss asked.

"The first batch of construction is planned to be 1 ship, and the second batch of construction is planned to come with 1 more! As long as you can finish it in 30 months, then everything is fine! And friends, we need to take a long-term view! How big is the domestic market for warships in Germany? The overseas market is very broad, it depends on whether you have the ability to take it! The baron said confidently!

The first batch of four battleships was given 30% of the profits from the design of the first batch of warships! If he can't even get an order for two armored cruisers, he, the crown prince, is too watery! The premise of the benefits given to him by the traverser is not just that the navy wins the bid! You must know that in history, after Krupp acquired the Germanana shipyard, he got an order for 10 battleships from the German Admiralty! The German royal family, as a shareholder, must have contributed a lot in it!

"Your shipyard must be expanded! Because in 3 years, we may start construction of 3 Munich-class armored cruisers at the same time! In addition to the German Navy, I can pull you at least 1 more order! "Baron Vittorio dropped another bombshell! Let the other party be confused!

Although Baron Vittorio verbally expressed his extreme dissatisfaction with "state capitalism", it was because he began to be an outsider! When he acts as an agent of the state, he immediately colludes with the traverser and strikes his potential opponents with all kinds of non-"government power" and "monopoly advantages"! And when the traverser asked the baron where his previous "impassionedness" and "sense of justice" had gone, the baron immediately said that the need for survival always comes first, and the honor of morality and justice can only be enjoyed by the victor!

"There are absolutely no problems with the price and speed of the supply of armor. Under the condition that the production capacity allows, you will be the first to obtain the new hardened armor manufacturer, and in order to facilitate you to win the order, we will provide some convenience in the price and payment method of the steel plate, even if you encounter financial difficulties, the kingdom's finance will be your biggest backing, so you don't have to worry about the problem of breaking the capital chain, the only thing you need to consider is how to make our shipyard more efficient! The baron said.

This is also a kind of monopoly that monopolizes the supply and sale of some parts! The Bavarian royal family will be responsible for managing everything outside of the shipyard, such as introducing business, coordinating relations with the government, supplying armor, and so on. However, it is not easy to interfere in the specific production process and internal personnel arrangements.

"If this is the case, I agree in principle with you, but I have some doubts, and that is, why do you want to emphasize ownership of aborted warships? It stands to reason that the warships abandoned by these customers should be the most headache for shipyards, whether it is to find a new buyer or to dismantle it at a loss. Brom said with some doubts, he never let go of any doubts about the contract!

"This, anyway, didn't harm your interests, as for the specific reason? I can't tell. The baron wiped a cold sweat rarely. He really didn't know what his boss thought.

Naturally, the traverser will not tell how the two Agile-class second-class battleships entered the British naval sequence in history, and only how the two Garibaldi-class armored cruisers entered the Japanese fleet. A warship is never a simple commodity, and it is even a powerful weapon at a critical moment! Just imagine, if two Garibaldi-class cruisers had joined the Essen fleet, then it would have been the Japanese who would have been hanged in the Ulsan Navy! And if the Japanese lost the Battle of Ulsan, then what would have been the course of the Russo-Japanese War as a whole? It's infinitely reverie! This kind of thing that controls a war or even the fate of a country is the favorite thing for the traverser to do!

"We don't seem to have a better choice. Isn't it? Brom said, looking at his partner.

"We agree in principle, but until we see the order for the first battleship, we still have reservations about you." Foss was still a little unwilling, but his conditions were not difficult for the baron.

"Within three days! This order will come to me. "We've won!

The second is more present~~~, and the author doesn't seem to have a cover yet. What a tragedy!! Let's take pity on the author's first recommended book!
