"You know Ruprecht, the Empire has a lot more complicated things to deal with than Bavaria, I admit that you are very profitable, you are very sensitive to technology, you have a very unique view of the military, whether it is the navy or the army, and aviation, but you need to face many troubles to achieve this. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info need to deal with all kinds of people. The more Wilhelm II spoke, the more proud he became, he stood up and walked behind the ****, pressed the latter's shoulder, and then glanced at the "Big Three" of the Navy opposite

"You have to deal with not only them, but also the members of parliament, the parties behind them, the capitalists and even the people. The rapprochement between you and Krupp makes me happy, because you are not the one who will never give up for the sake of the goal in your heart, you have learned to compromise, but this is the first step, you have to learn a lot, okay, go deal with those annoying things, I'm a little tired. Wilhelm II patted the prince on the shoulder, and then called the meeting to a disappointment!

"I need a night to gather my thoughts, can we talk about it tomorrow?" Ruprecht **** thought for a while and said.

"Of course, as long as you think you can solve the problem in 5 days, then the time is up to you." Tirpitz said very respectfully. "Your Highness, this will be the last battle for you to stay in the navy, fight it well, and then I will be your assistant!"

"Thank you." Ruprecht didn't expect the other party to be so honest, first stunned, and then solemnly returned the salute.

"Money, fleet numbers, naval bills!" After a hasty dinner, His Royal Highness **** began to think about how to deal with the problem of Tirpitz, Tirpitz attaches great importance to the problem of quantity, and the most important thing is to maintain a balance with the British on the surface, which is the case with the naval bill in history. And this plane, although there have been many changes, Tirpitz's idea is the same as in history.

In fact, there are two relatively large versions of the German Navy Act in history, the earliest one was proposed in November 1897, in this naval bill, the German High Seas Fleet will eventually have 19 capital ships, which will be replaced every 25 years. But soon, in 1900, when the Second Navy Act was passed, the number of first-line capital ships was to reach 38. These contents are clear to everyone, but in fact, there are 3 additions to the Second Navy Act! These additions took place after the appearance of the dreadnought!

In May 1906, Tirpitz pushed for the passage of the first addendum, which was in response to the launch of the Dreadnought! In this addendum, the Germans started construction of four dreadnoughts in 1907, the Nassau-class battleships, and one battle cruiser each year from 1907 to 1909, which was the first three battle cruisers of the German High Seas Fleet.

In March 1908, the Germans reformulated the plan for the expansion of the Navy from 1908 to the first half of 1912, changing the number of additional warships from 7 to 12! On average, 3 capital ships will be started every year! The expansion of the German Navy reached its peak in 1911, a year in which the Germans began construction of one Kaiser-class battleship and three King-class battleships, as well as one battlecruiser. Although there were 5 ships in 1907, the quality and cost are not at the same level at all!

And in May 1912, the Reich Navy's Third Naval Supplement was passed, and this bill set the number of first-line capital ships of the German Navy before 1919 at 41! What is this concept? Excluding the 4 Brandenburg-class battleships that had been decommissioned, the German Navy had 20 former dreadnoughts and 21 dreadnoughts.

Although this plane because of the Prime Minister and Frederick III, Germany kept a relatively low profile in the pre-dreadnought period, and because of the ****, Germany entered the dreadnought era several years in advance, but Tirpitz was still obsessed with the number of fleets, and in the naval bill just passed, he set the number of dreadnoughts in 1912 at 24! And from the current point of view, it is somewhat difficult to realize this plan, some people may ask, since 1900 Germany has been dreadnought, by 1912, less than 2 warships were built per year, why before the 1st World War the German Navy could start construction of 5 warships a year, but now Germany is difficult to complete? Is there less money in Germany?

Of course not, it was the German battleships that were expensive! And it should be noted that in the fleet plan of this plane, Tirpitz demanded that 21 battleships be put into service in 1912, not including the battleships on the slipway, that is, the last battleship in service could not start construction later than the second half of 1909! According to the original Tirpitz plan, after completing the second dreadnought expansion plan in 1906, there were still 3 years to go, and he planned to start construction of 3 warships every year, with a cycle of 2 and a half to 3 years, then this plan could still be completed in 1912, but unfortunately, it would never be possible to let the prince do this!

To put it simply, there is not enough money! Although Bavaria has achieved great economic growth in this plane, and by the way, Germany has also gained some benefits, but on the whole, the basic market is still the same, coupled with the renewal of the new equipment of the German Army, as well as the strategic reserves that may be established in the future, in the case of not too many changes in the input, the German Navy can allocate funds will not change much, and even because the German Army is clamoring to get armored forces and aircraft, the Navy may be ...... lower. It's all possible.

The prince wants the high speed, strong firepower, and strong defense of the battleship, all of which are to be piled up with marks, and the cost of the first German dreadnought Nassau in history is about 37.4 million marks. And in this plane, the standard of the first Nassau-class battleship is almost on the Caesar-class that came later! The performance is probably even stronger than that of Caesar, and the counterfeiting has soared to 44 million marks!

In the same way, the cost of the first battle cruiser on this plane is also much higher than in history, not to mention, 9 12-inch L45 guns are much more expensive than 8 11-inch L45 guns, although the power system has shrunk slightly, but the cost of defense has increased and this redundancy is easily recovered, and finally the cost of the first battle cruiser in this plane is as high as 42 million marks, which is the same as the battleship, and the cost of von der Tann in history is only 36.52 million marks.......

And the cost of the first 12-gun fast battleship Goben, which was obtained by the prince, was even more terrifying, and it went directly to 47 million marks, with a displacement of 28,000 tons, a speed of 25 knots, and 12 12-inch L45 guns. These performances can be described as fantastic in their contemporaries, and of course, the cost is also a fantasy-level ....... This is still thanks to the purchase of a large number of 12-inch guns and turrets, and the price of weapons has dropped by a few ...... compared with the original.

By the way, there is one more point that is not said, that is, these battleships will be replaced in the future, and an additional amount of money will be needed to replace the guns, so it is no exaggeration to say that the prince's 6 battleships will cost at least enough to cover the expenses of 7 or 8 dreadnoughts in history!
