"Father, it also takes a lot of money to expand the shipyard, add large slipways, recruit enough skilled workers and engineers, etc. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info conservatively estimates that it will need about 120 million marks. This amount of money, again, is an astronomical amount. If my father can lend me this money, then I will consider taking over the Royal Shipyard. Qin Tian said.

Now that it was a foregone conclusion to take over the Royal Shipyard, Qin Tian naturally hoped to get as many benefits as possible.

"120 million marks? Do you want to get so much? Wilhelm II frowned.

"Of course, if I take over the Royal Shipyard, I plan to build eight slipways capable of building warships of more than 30,000 tons. as well as adding some small and medium-sized slipways. These are all expensive to cost. Qin Tian said.

"Eight slipways for the construction of battleships of more than 30,000 tons? Even a few other large shipyards don't have so many large slipways! In addition, is it necessary for slipways of more than 30,000 tons? Wilhelm II was incredulous.

After all, the current battleships generally have a displacement of less than 20,000 tons. Even this new type of battleship designed by Qin Tian has a displacement of just 20,000 tons. In Wilhelm II's view, building a slipway of more than 30,000 tons was a waste at all.

"Father, with the continuous development of technology, the power of large-caliber artillery will also increase. In order to deploy larger caliber guns, thicker armor has been installed, and the displacement of the battleship will naturally increase. A battleship with a displacement of more than 30,000 tons seemed to be huge. But I believe that in a maximum of ten years, all the major powers will build battleships of this displacement. So, we have to prepare early. Avoid wasting a lot of time by rushing to upgrade the slipway. Qin Tian said.

All this he did was naturally for the sake of the German Navy and the fact that Germany would be able to win the war in the future. Increasing the strength of the German Navy as much as possible will give the German Navy a better chance of winning in future naval battles.

Wilhelm II hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded: "Okay, I will give you 120 million marks from the wealth owned by the royal family." Including the transfer fee of 50 million marks from the Royal Shipyard, the total is 170 million marks. It was fully repaid in three years, plus interest, for a total of 200 million marks. You don't have any objection to that, right? ”

Although 200 million marks is a lot, for Qin Tian, it is just a year's profit of the German Welfare Lottery Company. What's more, Qin Tian's future industry will not only have the German Welfare Lottery Company. When he's done with the shipyard, he'll start investing in other areas. In his opinion, the early twentieth century, although very backward. But it's also full of opportunities. There are many opportunities to make money.

"Alright, Oscar, then we'll settle it. I will get the lawyer to write the agreement as soon as possible and assist you with the relevant procedures. Wilhelm II smiled. He was very happy to be able to get rid of the Royal Shipyard.

However, Qin Tian immediately thought of another idea.

"Father, what do you think of the battleship I designed this time? If, after completion, the data is not much different from my design data, can it become the main battleship of the next class of the German Navy? Qin Tian asked.

Wilhelm II nodded: "Of course, although the Naval Technical Committee vetoed your design, I think that your design still has a lot of merit." If the battleships built can really reach the data on paper, they will be much more powerful than the existing battleships of the German Navy, and as the battleships of the next level of the Navy, it is completely okay. ”

Qin Tian nodded, and then laughed happily.

"Father, so be it, anyway, I owe you 170 million marks, and if you count the interest, it's 200 million marks. Let my shipyard build you four battleships! In that case, even if you pay off all the money I owe you. Qin Tian smiled.

"Ahh William II was stunned, he didn't expect Qin Tian to still fight this idea.

But he immediately frowned, the battleship of the next level of the navy, this is very important, how can it be easily handed over to Qin Tian's shipyard? Even if Qin Tian would invest a lot of money in the shipyard, it still couldn't change the fact that the Royal Shipyard was only a medium-sized shipyard. Even if it was expanded, it still lacked experience in building battleships. Besides, the construction of the Navy's capital ships is a matter of importance, design to the interests of major shipyards, and internal interests. If Wilhelm II had done so, it would have aroused strong opposition from those with vested interests. When the time comes, there will definitely be big problems.

"Father, the Royal Shipyard has been losing money, and if there are not enough orders, even if I spend a lot of money to expand the scale, I will also close down because of the serious losses. As for the opinion of the Technical Committee of the Navy and other shipyards, if they see how good the battleships we have built, what will they have to say then? What's more, it will save us a lot of time catching up with the British.

Also, Father. The Naval Technical Committee is now in the twilight. Although I do not deny that in those years of the rapid development of the German Navy, the Naval Technical Committee played a very large role. But now, their experience is outdated, stuck in the last century. This was very detrimental to the future development of the German Imperial Navy. If the Navy uses the battleships built by my shipyard as the capital ships of the next class, this will also be a lesson for them. ”

Qin Tian said bitterly. In order to get enough orders for his shipyard, Qin Tian also tried his best.

Wilhelm II thought about it for a while, but finally nodded. He was also a little dissatisfied with the performance of the Navy's Technical Committee in recent years.

"Alright, Oscar, just do as you say! However, the prerequisite is that the battleships built by your shipyard have the same performance as you promised, or at least not too different. Otherwise, I wouldn't have taken those battleships! Wilhelm II said with a serious face.

If the battleships built by Qin Tian were all rubbish, then naturally they would not be able to join the service of the German Navy and become a burden to the fleet.

"Don't worry, Father, there is absolutely no problem." Qin Tian patted his chest and reassured.

Subsequently, Qin Tian asked Kaiser Wilhelm II to name the new battleship. Wilhelm II thought about it and named it the 'Nassau-class' battleship.
