Chapter 860: Battleship Trade (Part 3)

"Your Majesty the Emperor, I am very touched by the selfless help of the German Empire to our country. When I return home, I will definitely report back to Comrade Ulyanov. I am sure that Comrade Ulyanov and other party comrades will agree. Joseph looked grateful.

Although he already knew that the Germans had such good intentions and were completely ill-intentioned. But he wasn't stupid enough to say it to his face. Not to mention, he has already put the power to decide on Ulyanov. Even if Burussia rejected the German proposal at that time, it had nothing to do with him. The Germans want to blame, and they can't blame him.

Qin Tian saw Joseph's perfunctory, but he didn't say anything. Anyway, it will not be easy for the German Empire to defeat Burussia. It doesn't hurt to start the layout early. Once any of the layouts are successful, they can play a big role in the fight against the Burussians.

After saying a few things that were not nutritious, it seemed that it was time for the meeting to end. However, at this time, Joseph made a new request.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, during this military parade, I deeply felt the strength of the military power of the German Empire. The German Navy, in particular, dominates the world. If I could, I would like the Burussia to order a batch of battleships from the German Empire! Joseph said.

This was decided by him after much deliberation. Now the navy of Burussia is completely blank. Although they inherited some naval officers and warships from the Russian Empire, they were all light warships that could only serve as coastal patrols. If you want to go to the open sea, it's not possible.

Before the fall of the Russian Empire, although a number of battleships were built. But compared to those battleships of the Germans, the difference in performance was too great. Besides, all the battleships of the Russian Empire were also snatched by the Germans. Of course, because of the poor performance, it was eventually disassembled into scrap metal.

In addition, after the fall of the Russian Empire, most of those naval experts also fled abroad. It was a civil war, and the party didn't have the energy to pay attention to it. After the establishment of Buo-Russia, it was discovered that there was a serious shortage of naval talents, which made Bu-Russia powerless even if it wanted to build a strong navy. Because, now they simply do not have the ability to build capital ships anymore. Those small and medium-sized warships, no matter how much they are built, will not make them a naval power.

After the fall of Britain, the German Navy was the strongest in the world. At the same time, Germany's shipbuilding strength is also the largest in the world. If the Burussians want to have a strong group of capital ships, ordering from Germany is undoubtedly the best way. In addition, perhaps Burussia will be able to learn more from the German battleships and regain the ability to build capital ships on its own.

"Help you build battleships? That's fine. Your country can place an order directly with our shipyard. I am confident that our shipyard is capable of fulfilling your orders! But is that what your government meant? Qin Tian asked.

Joseph hesitated for a moment, then said, "Your Majesty, this is just my idea for now. However, I am sure that Comrade Ulyanov will agree. ”

The reason why Joseph was so anxious to increase the strength of the Russian Navy was that he had seen the strength of the German Navy and was afraid that after a war with Germany in the future, they would be threatened by the German Navy. On the other hand, he also wants to penetrate his own forces into the army. In the Russian Army, Trotsky's influence was so strong that Joseph could not compete with Trotsky at all. If a strong navy could be built, Joseph would be able to stand up to Trotsky. After all, among the candidates for Ulyanov's successor in the future, the two of them are the most competitive.

Qin Tian nodded and helped Bu Russia build battleships, which did not have much impact on Germany. After all, a strong navy simply does not work by buying warships from abroad. In addition, almost the entire European sea was under the control of Germany. Even if the Burussians had a strong fleet, Germany would have many ways to eliminate it. In addition, you can make a lot of profit from the warship trade. The arms trade is inherently the most profitable. What's more, the strength of Buenos and Russia is not strong in the first place, and if it is necessary to maintain a strong army and develop a strong navy at the same time, this can undoubtedly further deplete the strength of Bu and Russia.

In the war between Germany and Burussia, it was still the army that ultimately decided the outcome of the war. When the limited resources of the Buff and Russia are divided by the navy, the strength of the Buff and Russian army will inevitably be weakened. At that time, it will be relatively easier for the German Army to defeat the Russians. Therefore, Qin Tian wished that Soviet Russia would vigorously develop its navy, and it was better to develop a strong navy.

In order to be able to defeat Bu Russia in the future war, Qin Tian can be said to have tried all means.

"Your Excellency Joseph, as long as your country agrees, then there is no problem in helping your country build a batch of battleships!" Qin Tian said.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, that's wonderful!" Joseph's face was overjoyed.

"However, Your Majesty, I hope that the battleship that Germany has helped us build will be the most powerful battleship in the world! In addition, I also hope to pay for this batch of warships with agricultural products and mineral resources! After Joseph finished speaking, he glanced at Qin Tian carefully, for fear that Qin Tian would refuse.

Qin Tian thought about it and nodded. He knew, of course, that Buu simply didn't have enough money to pay the bills. No matter how they pay their bills, as long as they can pay for it, that's great. Anyway, Qin Tian's purpose was not here.

"Your Excellency Joseph, I assure you that the battleships that Germany has built for your country are definitely the most powerful in the world. With a displacement of more than 40,000 tons, it is armed with a 410 mm caliber main gun. This kind of firepower is definitely the most powerful. I'll let the shipyard know the rest of the parameters! Qin Tian said.

"Thank you so much, Your Majesty!" Joseph's face was full of joy. Although he doesn't know much about the navy. However, after having this idea, he made up for this knowledge, and knew that the main gun of the most powerful battleship equipped with the navy of various countries at present was undoubtedly 380 mm or 381 mm. The battleships built by Germany for Burussia were actually armed with 410 mm guns. Well, nature is very powerful. 4610
