"Your Majesty, Burussia has officially replied to us and is willing to cooperate with us." Imperial Foreign Minister Vahit said with a smile.

Several agreements reached by Qin Tian and Joseph were approved. When the news came, Qin Tian and the military and political ministers of the empire were a little incredulous. After all, what Germany gave to Burussia was candy smeared with poison, and those people in the Buenos Party were not fools, so it was impossible not to know this. Qin Tian even thought at one time that there was any conspiracy of the cloth party in this.

However, even if there is some conspiracy. Burussia agreed to these conditions, which also had great benefits for Germany. Whether it's helping Burussia rebuild its industrial system or building a transportation network, it costs money. If there is no real money in Burussia, it will use agricultural products and mineral resources to pay off its debts. Germany will help them build as many factories, sell as much machinery and equipment, and build as many railways and roads as they give them agricultural and mineral resources.

In this case, the construction period is almost entirely determined by Buo. In order to speed things up, they will certainly step up the exploitation of those peasants. In the case of hunger, will those peasants have a good impression of Buo? When Germany attacked Russia, they announced the allocation of land to them, and at the same time lowered taxes. You don't have to think about it to know that those Russian peasants will immediately become the leading party.

"Then let's start implementing it according to the agreement!" Qin Tian said.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The Imperial Leader nodded.

Although much of this cooperation with the Russian Federation involves the future military deployment of the empire, most of the projects are basically civilian projects supported by the government. Of course, in order to meet the needs of the military, the military will definitely secretly send people to participate in it. This will ensure that the military gets what it wants and has a head start in future wars.

"How many battleships did Burussia ask us to build them?" Qin Tian asked.

Germany's assistance to the construction of a number of battleships in Bros. is also a key project of this cooperation.

"Your Majesty, Burussia has proposed to build four battleships of this class." This was stated by the Minister of the Navy, Field Marshal Reinhardscher.

"Four? It's pretty much it. Their financial resources are inadequate. Qin Tian touched his chin. Although he wants to pit Bu Russia ruthlessly, but Bu Russia only has such a little financial resources, so there is no way!

"When the Navy builds these warships for Burussia, it must leave a good loophole. In this way, we can ensure that we can easily sink these battleships when we go to war! Qin Tian said.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Designers are already starting to figure it out. When the time comes, the Russians will find out that they have spent a lot of money, and they will buy back nothing more than a pile of scrap metal! Field Marshal Reinhardschel said with a smile.

Although, this seems a bit immoral. However, for the sake of the empire, in order to be able to win the war, it is natural to do everything.

"That's right, Your Majesty. The Ottoman Turkish Empire also raised hopes of ordering a batch of battleships from the Empire. Field Marshal Reinhardschel continued.

"What warships are they going to buy? How many to buy? Qin Tian asked.

"They want us to build two battleships for them, modeled after the Mackensen-class battleships."

Qin Tian thought for a while: "Promise them!" However, the profit must be guaranteed. ”

Field Marshal Reinhardschel nodded.

The last time Germany held a battleship auction, the Ottoman Turks bought the battlecruisers Von der Tannen and Leopold, as well as the battleship Ostfrisland. But now it seems that the Ottoman Turkish Empire was obviously not very satisfied with these warships.

Of course, this is not to say that these battleships are bad, but compared to those warships bought by Austria-Hungary, the naval strength of the Ottoman Turkish Empire is too weak. It can be said that if the Ottoman Turkish Empire and Austria-Hungary went to war, their navy would probably only be cowered in the Black Sea, and they would not even have the courage to go out of the strait into the Mediterranean.

The current Ottoman Turkish Empire, although in decline. But they also don't want to be suppressed too much. This was especially true when Austria-Hungary was pressing on the Balkans.

Since the Ottoman Turks were interested in strengthening their naval strength, Germany certainly wanted to help them. Although, this will take the naval strength of the Ottoman Turkish Empire to a higher level. This makes the situation in the Mediterranean even more complicated. However, this is also very advantageous for Germany. After the rapid rise of the Austro-Hungarian Navy, the Mediterranean Fleet of the German Navy was simply unable to control the entire Mediterranean Sea for a short time. At this time, if the Ottoman Turkish Empire could confront Austria-Hungary, it would allow the German Navy's Mediterranean Fleet to gain more time to develop.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Field Marshal Reinhardschel nodded.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Navy's Mediterranean Fleet has been stationed in the Mediterranean. However, there is currently no suitable military port. We are building military ports on the islands of Corsica and Sicily. But in a short period of time, it is not possible to move in. The fleet is currently only in civilian ports. This is very detrimental to me for the safety of the fleet. Admiral Reinhardschel continued.

Qin Tian nodded, the fleet's military port was different from the ordinary civilian port. Not only do you have to build fortifications, but you also have to build all kinds of military buildings, such as ammunition depots, oil depots, command centers, barracks, and so on. The German Navy had already begun to build military ports on the islands of Sicily and Corsica. However, there is still some time before the military port is put into service. Although, the war will not be fought for a while, but it would be great if the Mediterranean Fleet could get a military port as soon as possible.

"What does the Navy have in mind?" Qin Tian asked.

"Your Majesty, isn't there a ready-made military port in the Mediterranean? If we take it, the Mediterranean Fleet will be ready for entry at once. Moreover, the geographical location is also very good, and it has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times! Marshal Reinhardschel said.

"You mean Gibraltar?" Qin Tian asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Gibraltar is still in British hands for the time being. However, the British no longer deployed a fleet there. At present, only a small number of troops control the entire fortress of Gibraltar. If we send the fleet and the marines to attack, we can definitely take it. By taking the fortress of Gibraltar, the Mediterranean Fleet will have an ideal military port, and at the same time we will be able to hold the main communication routes in the Mediterranean. Marshal Reinhardschel said. 89
