As soon as Qin Tian looked at the expressions of William II and Marshal Count Tirpitz, he knew that they seemed to be thinking wrong. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Father, Your Excellency the Marshal, when I say 100 million marks, I do not mean 100 million marks in total, but 100 million marks a year. After all, although the income of the welfare lottery company is quite a lot now, I have other investment projects and a lot of places to spend money. Therefore, only 100 million marks can be drawn out every year. Qin Tian explained.

If too much profit is withdrawn from his industry every year, it will have a very big impact on Qin Tian's next industrial layout. In addition, such a large amount of money flow will also be more easily detected by other countries.

"A hundred million marks a year? Very good, very good. Oscar, you've done a great job, and I'm so proud to have such a son as you! "Wilhelm II was greatly satisfied.

"Your Royal Highness, one hundred million marks a year, until the war begins?" Marshal Count Tirpitz asked excitedly. If this were the case, it would be a huge additional amount of support for the German Navy. With this funding, the financial pressure on the German Navy will be much less as a result. They will have enough money to develop armaments and build warships.

"100 million marks a year until the end of the war!" Qin Tian said solemnly.

Qin Tian didn't even think that the current German high-level people would probably not have thought that the future war would last for a long time. In another time and space, the war was fought for four whole years, and it was completely unexpected by everyone. You know, at the beginning of the war, everyone from Wilhelm II to ordinary soldiers thought that they would be able to defeat the enemy and end the war in a few months. At this time, even if Germany's military power is strengthened, it will still be very difficult to end the war in a short period of time. Therefore, Qin Tian hoped that Germany would be ready to fight a protracted war.

Marshal Count Tirpitz nodded: "Thank you so much, Your Royal Highness. Your support for the Navy will definitely pay off. We will definitely defeat the British in future wars. ”

Marshal Count Tirpitz was full of confidence. Originally, compared to the British Navy, the German Navy was at a great disadvantage. One of the main reasons is probably that the financial strength of the British Navy is definitely not comparable to that of the German Navy. Now with Qin Tian's support, everything is different. Every year, he gets a loan of 100 million marks from Qin Tian, which is almost enough to build two battleships. The construction period of a first-class battleship is often as long as two or three years. And the German Navy usually had four or five first-class battleships. In other words, basically with Qin Tian's loan, they will be enough to guarantee the construction of the capital ship. The German Navy's own military expenses could be invested in the construction of other light surface ships. In this way, it was enough to make the strength of the German Navy grow by leaps and bounds. As a result, they will soon catch up with the British Navy, and even surpass it. In addition, the battleship designed by Qin Tian was originally able to crush the British battleship in terms of performance. Combined with these favorable factors, if the German Navy could not win against the British, then the German Navy would just buy a piece of tofu and kill him.

"Oscar, when I am external, I will announce that it is the loan provided by the royal family to the navy, so that the British and French should not suspect you." Wilhelm II said. He was very satisfied with Qin Tian's performance.

Qin Tian shook his head: "Father, there is no impermeable wall in the world. The British and the French, sooner or later will know. However, if they dare to use an executive order to expel the Deutsche Welfare Lottery from the markets of both countries, they are deliberately destroying the market. Even if we can't do anything about them for the time being, after the war is over, we can still liquidate them and let them compensate us for our losses! Now, I just want to be able to drag it out as long as possible. In this way, it will also give us enough time to earn more wealth from Britain and France. ”

As the so-called gentleman takes revenge for ten years, it is not too late, as long as Germany wins the war in the end. Then, naturally, there are enough reasons to get Britain and France to compensate for the losses.

William II and Marshal Count Tirpitz both nodded their heads again and again, this world is already very cruel. If you lose a war, the consequences will be very serious. And if they are victorious, they can plunder the wealth of the defeated country at will. The law of the jungle preys on the weak, and the plundering of the weak by the strong is the essence of this world.

"Your Royal Highness, do you have any specific ideas for the next level of battleships?" Marshal Count Tirpitz asked.

"Your Excellency, this is the blueprint." Qin Tian directly took out a drawing from the suitcase he was carrying with him and spread it out on the desk.

This design drawing was designed by Qin Tian a long time ago. With the design drawings of the 'Nassau-class' battleships in front, the capital ships of the new class only need to be enlarged by the 'Nassau-class' battleships. Of course, some areas also need to be changed.

"Father, Your Excellency Marshal, this is the next class of battleships I have designed." Qin Tian began to introduce William II and Marshal Count Tirpitz.

This new type of battleship designed by Qin Tian is 158 meters long, 26.5 meters wide, 8.7 meters draft, with a standard displacement of 23,500 tons and a full load displacement of 25,500 tons. It is armed with three triple 343 mm 50 x caliber main guns, 14 150 mm 45 x caliber secondary guns, and 16 88 mm 45 x caliber anti-torpedo boat guns. It is powered by 16 Sulzer oil-fired boilers, four Chlutis steam turbines, the main engine has a maximum power of 32,000 horsepower, four axles of propulsion, and a maximum speed of 23 knots. Armor defense defense, the main armor belt defense is 330 mm, the turret frontal armor and the conning tower armor are both 330 mm. Deck armor is 55 mm.

The main difference with the 'Nassau-class' battleships was that the main gun caliber was larger, using a 343 mm 50 times caliber main gun. In addition, the armor is also thicker, and the main armor has been increased from 305 mm to 330 mm, which has a more powerful defense and improves the survivability of the battleship in naval battles. At the same time, by installing boilers, the power of the battleship was increased, so that the speed of the battleship could be further increased, reaching 23 knots. This is undoubtedly amazing for a battleship with a displacement of up to 25,000 tons. After all, the speed of the capital ships of various countries is generally only a dozen knots.

This also makes the comprehensive performance of the capital ships of the new class a step higher than that of the 'Nassau-class' battleships. Of course, the cost is more expensive.
