Chapter 62: Battleship Blueprints

Alfred thought that Sun Hao was a gift and brought some famous oriental paintings to him, so he didn't care about it at first. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

But as the drawings unfolded, Hender Harley, the ship's designer, immediately came over to take a closer look when he saw that the drawings were actually a battleship.

When Wang Xiaoshan completely opened the drawing, Alfred also saw that it was a drawing of a battleship, and it was quite beautifully drawn, still in color.

Although Alfred was the governor of the German colony, he did not know much about the specific construction of battleships, so he stood aside and did not make a sound. Henderhari, a ship design expert, crouched down and carefully looked at the battleship's drawings to determine whether the drawings were real.

Half an hour later, Henderhari finished reading the drawings and asked excitedly, "Hello Commander-in-Chief Sun, the blueprints of this battleship are your Zheng He battleship, right?" If this warship can be built, it will develop and improve the overall strength of our German Imperial Navy by leaps and bounds. ”

Alfred was born in the army and didn't know much about warships, and after hearing his friend's words, he also asked excitedly, "Is it true?" Are you sure this battleship drawing is real,"

"I assure God that these are real drawings, and they are the most advanced battleships, but they still lack specific and detailed design and construction drawings." Hender Harry said helplessly.

"Since it is true, I believe that the detailed construction drawings must be in the hands of Commander-in-Chief Sun, plus their battleship has been built, as long as our German Empire pays a certain price, I believe that we will get the drawings of this battleship, you don't have to worry about it as an expert." Alfred said happily.

Sun Hao sat on the sofa with a cigar in his mouth and watched where the two were talking. From the expressions of the two, Sun Hao had already seen the approximation. Such a warship is exactly what Germany needs, the German army has risen and it is not an exaggeration to say that it dominates Europe, but the navy is a short board. Both France and Britain are firmly pressing Germany in the navy, especially the navy of the British Empire, which is like a mountain, and the German navy is unable to kick it.

Miao Feng saw that the two had finished talking, so he introduced: "Your Excellency Governor, this battleship is our Zheng He, with a design length of 196 meters, a width of 27.4 meters, and a draft of 9.2 meters.

Historically, the Queen Elizabeth-class battleships served not only in World War I, but also in modern modifications, and remained in service until the end of World War II. In this day and age, the Queen Elizabeth-class battleship was definitely a formidable battleship.

Alfred didn't know about warships, but Hender Harry, the ship's designer, was an expert. Originally, the purpose of coming to the East this time was to sell the warships of the shipyard to the Great Qing Kingdom, and by the way, I came to see old friends, but I came across such a good thing.

Ship designer Heng Dehari listened carefully to the parameters of the battleship that Miao Feng said, and after listening, he took the parameters of the battleship to himself and checked it in detail.

Henderhari kept looking at the parameters of the battleship, and then looked at the battleship on the design drawings, while considering the reliability of the battleship. It was an hour before Hender Harry finished comparing the ship's information.

"Dear Commander-in-Chief Sun, I am Hendharley, a ship design expert at the German Royal Shipyard, thank you very much for your battleship drawings, I know that this drawing is very precious, I don't know what Huaxia wants to get from my German Empire, so that I can give us the complete construction drawings." Hendhari asked with a smile in German.

After Alfred heard Henderharry's words, he also nodded in agreement, Alfred didn't believe that Sun Hao directly sent the battleship blueprints to the German Empire for some bullshit friendship. Both of them know this very well.

Miao Feng translated Henderhari's words. After Sun Hao heard this, he immediately said: "Hello Hind Hari expert, this commander is very sympathetic to the plight of your Germans, who have a powerful army that is enough to sweep across Europe, but no strong navy, and are crushed by the British Empire, which is a shame for you Germans. ”

After translating, after Henderhari and Alfred heard it, the muscles on their faces kept shaking, the German navy has always been Germany's shortcoming, but I didn't expect that even Sun Hao knew it and said it bluntly. It is said that Oriental people speak implicitly, but they didn't expect this Sun Hao to speak so directly, and he didn't give face at all.

"Commander-in-Chief Sun, I suppose you didn't come to our colony of the German Empire to talk to me about the German Navy, did you? We, the German Empire, would love to get this drawing, but we don't know what price we would have to pay to get the detailed design? "After all, Alfred is an eight-sided figure, and he doesn't care about what Sun Hao said at all.

Seeing his old friend Hender Harry's affirmation and desire for this battleship, he wanted to take down the battleship blueprints, and even more importantly, he wanted to take down the battleship drawings for his own country. Anyway, the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, Herman. Red has authorized himself to negotiate first and find out the bottom line of the other party's requirements.

Miao Feng translated it, and after Sun Hao heard it, he immediately said: "Two friends, this commander personally likes the German Empire very much, and he also admires His Majesty Wilhelm, under his leadership, your German Empire's national strength is thriving, whether it is industry or army, earth-shaking changes have taken place. For the sake of our friendship, this drawing can be given to you. ”
