Qin Tian spent a lot of time perfecting the drawings of the battleships he had designed, and it was not until Christmas Eve that they were completely completed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Appears on the drawing of a majestic battleship, a battleship with a very different style from the existing battleships.

Before the British Navy's 'Dreadnought' battleship was put into service, the battleships of various countries generally had a displacement of only more than 10,000 tons, and the main guns were divided into two stages, that is, the first large-caliber main gun and the second stage of small-caliber main gun. The rate of fire of smaller-caliber guns compensated for the lack of firepower of large-caliber guns.

However, starting with the battleship 'Dreadnought', the battleship entered the era of all-heavy artillery. That is, the second-stage main gun was canceled, and all the first-stage main guns were adopted, so as to further strengthen the strike capability of the battleship.

This battleship designed by Qin Tian is also the same all-heavy artillery battleship. The appearance is roughly the same as that of the 'Nassau-class' battleships that the German Navy will build in the future. It's just that the number of main guns and the way they are deployed are different. The German Navy's 'Nassau-class' battleships had a total of six twin 280mm guns, one on the fore and one on the fore deck, and the other four were deployed on either side of the battleship. In this way, the Nassau-class battleships could concentrate four main guns when firing to the side side.

The battleships shot by Qin Tian replaced the six twin 280mm guns with three triple 305 mm guns. After all, Qin Tian, who is familiar with the development trend of later generations, knows that the triple main gun is the trend. The main battleships of World War II were all deployed in this way. For example, the 'Yamato-class' battleships of the Japanese Navy and the 'Iowa-class' battleships of the US Navy are all like this.

In addition, the use of triple main guns can also save space and the length of the hull, so that the defense of the battleship can be greatly improved.

It is precisely because of this that the battleship shot by Qin Tian has improved its defense, in addition to the difference between its main gun and the 'Nassau-class' battleship.

In terms of power, Qin Tian did not use coal-fired boilers, but oil-fired boilers. The steam engine was also converted from a three-expansion reciprocating steam engine to a steam turbine. In this way, the speed of the battleship can be made faster.

"I hope Wilhelm II will like this battleship. In this way, the German Navy would be able to crush the British directly from the moment they entered the dreadnoughts. In the event of a war between the two sides, the German navy would have a slightly better chance of victory. Qin Tian looked at the battleship on the drawing and muttered.

Now that he has the money and wants to fulfill his promise to donate battleships to the German Navy, Qin Tian naturally hopes to be able to provide powerful battleships to the German Navy, instead of those junk-like former dreadnoughts that have built more than twenty before.

In addition, Qin Tian also hoped to gain the attention of Wilhelm II. After all, Wilhelm II was an emperor who loved the navy. If he can reuse Qin Tian, this will allow Qin Tian to gain more power, and he will also have a greater say in the affairs of the royal family and the state. Perhaps it could turn Germany's fortunes around.

If he could, Qin Tian naturally didn't want to see the Second German Reich fall. When the empire was strong, he was the prince of the empire and had various privileges. And once the empire falls, he, the prince, may have to go into exile. Even if you have money, what can you do? It's not like it's going to be fat in the eyes of others.

As for the right to inherit the throne, Qin Tian didn't think about it. Because he knew that as long as Crown Prince William did not die, he would not have a chance. Even if Crown Prince William died, he still had three older brothers waiting in front of him.

Time passed little by little, and the development of the Deutsche Welfare Lottery company was also on the right track. Now, the two-color ball has become the most popular lottery ticket for German lottery players. In particular, the one with the lucky winner who won the first prize inspired others to go ahead and put their money into the lottery. However, after all, there are very few people who win the first prize. The vast majority of people are constantly investing, and at most they win a small prize.

This also made Qin Tian's wallet constantly bulge. With the support of the royal family, no one dared to fight their ideas anymore. Qin Tian and Carl plan to open up foreign markets from next year. The outbreak of the war is less than a decade away, and if it can use the lottery to plunder more wealth from other countries, it will also strengthen Germany in disguise. If there is an opportunity, Qin Tian certainly hopes to invest this wealth in the expansion of armaments, so that Germany's military strength can further reach its peak.

Christmas, for Westerners, is a very important holiday. It was also a day of reunion for the German royal family. In order to strengthen ties with the various powers in the Reich, Kaiser Wilhelm II held a banquet at the Imperial Palace in Potsdam on Christmas Eve, to which the royal families of the kingdoms of the Second German Reich, the Grand Duchy, the royal families of the Duchy, high-ranking officials of the government, the main generals of the military, celebrities and envoys of various countries in Germany were invited.

Originally, Qin Tian thought that he would not be able to attend this dinner this time. However, unexpectedly, some time ago, I learned from Karl that Wilhelm II agreed to his return to the palace. This was undoubtedly a surprise for Qin Tian.

"Your Highness, I'm ready, when are we leaving?" Carl asked excitedly.

Although, in previous years, he also attended a dinner hosted by the Royal Palace. However, this time his identity and status are different. In the past, he was just a waiter in the palace. Today, he is the managing director of the Deutsche Welfare Lottery and has amassed a personal fortune of five million marks.

"Well, I'm ready, let's go." Qin Tian nodded, carried a suitcase, and went out. Inside the suitcase, Qin Tian prepared gifts for his parents and siblings. Now he is already a rich man, and during the holidays, he naturally can't be too shabby.

After the two went downstairs, they got into the Mercedes-Benz car that had been prepared long ago and rushed all the way to Potsdam.

Although, Mercedes Benz cars have been on the market for many years. But in Qin Tian's view, the current cars are too simple in terms of appearance and interior, and there is no comparison with the cars of later generations.

"The welfare lottery company is constantly absorbing money, so much money in the bank, it is a complete waste, maybe you can consider the next investment direction. And in the automotive sector, it seems to be good. Qin Tian thought secretly.

If you can design those beautiful cars for the future, they will definitely sell well. Qin Tian had no doubt about this.
