Chapter 165: Which One Do You Want?

After seeing that everyone else was out, Admiral Golek showed a wry smile. "Two designers, you've got a problem for me."

The admiral's words made the two designers not know what to say, but as the heads of the two major shipyards, they needed to find a way at this time.

"Your Excellency Admiral, according to our warship plan, we only need 24.8 million lira to build one."

It was the head of the Venetian Navy Yard who spoke, and when he saw His Excellency the Admiralty in a dilemma, he came up with a killing move.

And seeing that the enemy was so unreasonable, as the head of the Andosal shipyard, he was not polite, and he immediately answered without waiting for Admiral Golek to answer. "Our plan only needs 25.4 million lila."

Don't blame the Andosal shipyard for a higher price, because the power requirements in its scheme are a lot, and this money cannot be saved at all.

Admiral Golek, who was worried about how to choose, watched the two shipyard leaders start a price war, he was a little angry and laughed, although the price is very important, but the current problem of choosing a battleship is not solved by price, well, he is indeed a little moved. However, considering that the purchase of warships came from behind the forces behind this time, he temporarily put aside the idea of using the price to determine.

"Both, but so be it. I need to talk to two, not three designers. ”

So the two shipyard directors could only stop the intention of winning with price, and could only look at their chief designers, hoping that they could win next.

It was only after the two shipyard directors had left that Admiral Golek spoke. "Three, I honestly want your design plan, but the Navy only has so much money at the moment, so I want to ask if you can synthesize the plan and come up with a more perfect warship."

Well, in the face of Admiral Golek's words, the three designers made eye contact. In fact, for Admiral Golek to let them stay, there is this psychological preparation.

"But it's going to take time, and it's not much worse than a redesign."

Brin was the first to speak, and his words were acquiesced in by Bran and Vittorio.

Because the idea of the admiral seems simple, but in practice it is very difficult, and changes require precise calculations, not to mention the integration of two design drawings to extract their respective advantages. Brin opened his mouth to say three months, and it was all according to the situation that everything went well.

Faced with the words of the three designers, Admiral Golek thought for a moment and replied. "Then you go and prepare first, let me think about it."

Faced with the Minister of the Navy, who has the final decision on the new warship, the three designers have no choice but to wait for themselves to consider.

However, although it was not decided on the spot, Admiral Golek would not let the three of them go like this, and then the Admiral personally sent the three out of the door, and there was no one else who was courteous.

Outside the Navy building, two horse-drawn carriages were waiting for the three designers. After leaving, the three people appeared in front of the two carriages.

And the two old rivals naturally need to greet each other cordially, "Brin, this time I feel that your work is very different from your previous style, are you asking someone to help?" ”

Bran, who spoke, looked at Vittorio, who was standing on the side, with a very obvious intention.

In the face of the mockery of his old rival, Brin did not deny it. "What if you find someone to help, that's because you have no one to help, this stinky mouth doesn't know how many people are angry, who wants to work with you."

Two famous Italian warship designers, like little children, talked to each other outside the naval building, and were not afraid of the guards next to them to see jokes.

Subsequently, the designers belonging to the two shipyards got into their own carriages and left.

Vittorio, who was sitting with the chief designer Brin, was in a trance and a little silent in the carriage.

Brin, who noticed that his situation was a little strange, asked with concern. "What's wrong, Vittorio?"

In response to Brin's inquiry, Vittorio replied nonchalantly. "It's nothing, it's just that I feel a little unwell and want to go back and rest."

Faced with Vittorio's answer, Brin didn't pay much attention. "Alright then, go back early and get some rest, it's not over today, we have a lot to do."

As the three designers left in the carriage, Admiral Golek, who was the Lord of the Admiralty, sat in the carriage with a package next to his seat, containing drawings from the two designers.

The carriage made its way to the palace, and Admiral Golek came to Carlo with the package and led by the guards.

That's right, Admiral Golek, undecided, intends to ask His Majesty the King's opinion. Of course, this is not because he thinks that the king's knowledge of warships surpasses his own, but when he can't make up his mind, he can let the king choose, which can also increase the king's goodwill towards the navy.

"Your Majesty, please see, these are the two most favored design drawings of our navy."

Admiral Golek opens the drawings and introduces the performance of the ships with the two drawings like Carlo. And Carlo stood beside him, listening attentively to his explanation.

When Admiral Golek finished explaining, Carlo couldn't help but praise. "Very good, both drawings are excellent."

This is a sincere compliment, although he does not know much about the navy, but he still knows some of it. You must know that there are no warships equipped by various countries that can compete with them, as long as the warship is built, it will be a well-deserved benchmark in the world.

Not to mention anything else, just its speed of up to 18-19 knots is beyond the reach of other battleships, which reaches the speed of the current cruisers of various countries, with the speed of cruisers, as well as the armor and firepower of battleships, who can be its opponent?

"Your Excellency the Admiral, do you mean to let me choose?"

Since Admiral Golek took great pains to show himself two drawings, his intention was self-evident.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Our Admiralty is very difficult to choose, so it can only be decided by His Majesty. ”

In the face of Carlo's inquiry, Admiral Golek did not deny it at all. Of course, he still has a little bit of caution, if His Majesty looks at both and likes both, what if he says that he will build two of each?

Although this probability is out of reach, but everything is afraid of what happens, if this is the case, it is not the Navy to make another one.

Unfortunately, Carlo did not say what the Admiralty Chancellor wanted to hear, but asked him. "So what's your Navy's choice?"

In the face of Carlo's questioning, Admiral Golek said truthfully. "We asked the designers of the two sides to work together to come up with a warship that combines the advantages of the two."

"In that case, let's do as you do."

Carlo also did a tai chi and threw the problem back. Because he, like Admiral Golek, was very satisfied with both plans, so the professional things should be left to the professional people.

And Carlo's words surprised Admiral Golek a little, he did not expect the king to give himself such an answer.

So he stepped forward to put away the blueprints and prepared to go back to the Admiralty to study them.

But at this time, the voice of the king came from behind him. "Maybe the new warship should think more about the advantage of speed."

Carlo's words made Admiral Golek smile.

I'm in a good mood
