The Rise of the Empire

"The opponent's professional knowledge is excellent, buddy, although you quoted from many sources, using the active warships and planned warships of Britain, France and Russia as an example, but I always feel that the strength is not enough. We don't want to use a bunch of professional terms and calculations directly. What should I do?" In the latest letter from the Lord of the Black Eagle, Ruprecht saw the other party's anxiety and his own disadvantaged position!

The so-called interlacing is like a mountain. The prince is really not a shipbuilder. It’s okay to talk to people who are also amateurs on the Internet, but it’s not good if you want to be serious. You must find a professional! But it's not easy to find professionals. As far as Germany's current level of shipbuilding is concerned, there is no way to mention it before Caesar came out. Even if you find a professional to open your eyes for you, these gunmen still agree with the other party's point of view in their bones, which is still not enough to fight! It's a trivial matter to lose your mouth, but it's not okay to delay your promotion career!

"Well, send a telegram to Baron Vittorio Cuniberti and ask him to write an article immediately according to our requirements! The remuneration will be paid separately, and it will not be included in the annual salary!" Ruprecht called his own The little brother started to assign work, the matter has almost fermented, it's time to use the trump card, and by the way, let's see if this comrade-in-arms is worth it to continue to invest in it!

Vittorio Cuniberti! Modern time traveler must choose a shipbuilder! Born in a small country, a cruiser sold double digits! Serve in 4 navies! With such a NB record, I ask you whether you are convinced or not? Thanks to the blessing of the Internet in the previous life, and also thanks to a famous naval enthusiast on the Internet who founded the Garibaldi religion. The traveler knows that there is a future famous naval designer in the world who is not very famous now! With such a talent, and meeting him when he was not making a fortune, then naturally he must be dug out!

And what's even more shocking is that this buddy proposed the idea of ​​an all-heavy artillery warship in 1900! Its thinking is advanced and its brain hole is so big that people have to say admiration! (This is from a certain magazine. Interested readers can search "Steams of the Mediterranean - Italian Navy Dreadnought" on Baidu.) What's even more frightening is that after this buddy flourished in the pre-dreadnought era, When other contemporary designers gradually ran out of talents, and the front wave was pushed to death on the beach by the back wave, the great Italian designer became more and more courageous, and personally took care of the design work of the first Italian dreadnought Dante-class battleship!

Triple turrets, 4 turrets arranged on the central axis! The maximum firepower on the side is 12 12-inch heavy guns! The design speed is nearly 23 knots, and the maximum test voyage has even exceeded 24 knots! In terms of force, which warship started in 1909 can surpass it? ? In terms of artillery layout and design, almost all German warships are willing to bow down! Of course, limited by funds and tonnage, Dante's combat effectiveness can only be described as average. But after all, it is still very good in terms of design concept.

"Earn me 1 million pounds! I will make you an earl with a fief!" When the prince's younger brother brought a letter written by Wang Changsun to the hand of the currently unknown Italian designer, the name The future designer and God of Wealth of the Italian Navy seemed to be knocked out by a huge cake! The eldest son of one of the most powerful royal families in the whole of Europe, the first-class nobleman, hired himself with an annual salary of 60,000 marks as a guaranteed minimum annual salary. You know, the German Prime Minister's annual salary from the government is only 52,000 marks! (Of course, people have other incomes) In an instant, the fledgling Italian designer really couldn't find an excuse to refuse!

When the representative of the Bavarian royal family took a check worth 20,000 marks and the baron's letter directly onto his desktop, the designer with a bit of blood in his head immediately said that he would deliver everything in Italy in the shortest possible time and then Go to Germany! It took only one month before and after, under the huge money and background power. Your Royal Highness has got his wish!

Facing the most potential employees under him,

And the employees who get paid the most. After several contacts, the prince found that the money was definitely not in vain! This Italian designer is not only very proficient in the main skill - shipbuilding, but also very good at marketing, interpersonal relationship and so on! Not only did an Italian quickly get along well with his German colleagues recruited from other places, but also some suggestions on sales made Peng Yi eye-opening! Shout out that the money is not wasted! A lot of my follow-up hype was formulated according to his suggestion! But now, the fire is here, and it's time to use the big killer!

"It's time for those stubborn guys to accept the baptism of advanced design ideas!" This is the first sentence in Ruprecht's letter to the Lord of the Black Hawk! "We not only want to defeat our opponents in the newspapers, but also take this opportunity to completely change the status quo of the German Navy! All technical and design matters can be handed over to me, and it depends on whether you can handle the affairs of the German Navy Ministry, After the work is done, the profit of our design can be divided into threes and sevens! I seven you three!"

Be generous to your allies! Why was the Krupp family able to become the largest family in Germany during the time of William II, with liquidity in the bank as high as 500 million marks? Because the Kaiser is his partner! Why was Deutsche Werft able to rise in the 1890s? Warship orders are only one aspect. The other aspect is that the German government requires major domestic shipping companies to support the country's shipbuilding industry! Someone is easy to handle! You must know that Krupp hardly got involved in other naval businesses except artillery before 1890.

In the communication with each other, both sides are weighing each other's weight. If we say that at the beginning, the German Crown Prince participated with the idea of ​​having fun, but as things got worse and more money was spent, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince began to doubt the other party's identity and motives! Tens of thousands of marks turned into black and white letters on the newspaper without blinking an eye. How could it be possible that there was no intention behind it? Judging from the other party's expenses and actions, the other party should intend to enter the German shipbuilding industry. And this person's current position still suits his appetite, so some things should be discussed, such as what to do next, how to divide the profits!

But this time, Ruprecht directly gave the other party an answer! You handle the affairs in Berlin, leave the rest to me, and I will give you 30% of the net profit! Promise or not, just a word, you can figure it out! As for each other's identities, it's better for everyone not to talk about it, after all, it's not a direct communication, and some words are still inconvenient. So far, the two parties are still partners, but they are still in various transits. This is not a matter of prudence, after all, His Royal Highness believes that he has not done anything illegal. It's just that all the preparations are going on in secret now. Best not to alarm those potential competitors. It's better not to do things like using power to overwhelm people.

"Well, it's not bad. I really want to meet this partner now." Crown Prince William nodded in satisfaction after receiving the letter. He never thought that what he did in a moment of brainstorming would develop to the present level. This matter has already become a business. It's his first business. Thinking about it makes me excited! A ratio is still possible. The other party is not a stingy person, after all, they provided the design and personnel. And I just walked a door.

There is such a proverb in Europe. Kings always have the most secrets. Whether it is Crown Prince William or Ruprecht, they try to make their actions more concealed. But none of these actions escaped the eyes of Kaiser Frederick III. He knew about it from the beginning. And as the hype gets hotter, his attention continues to rise. He knew the content of the communication between the two parties, after all, this was in his court! I don't know but hell!

He even knew the approximate identity of the other party, for the simple reason that in a letter, his attendants found that the handwriting on the letter coincided with the handwriting on a letter sent by the Bavarian royal family. In other words, the crown prince's collaborators are the Bavarian royal family! "They've been very active recently." After listening to his subordinate's report, Frederick said with a smile.

"Then, do you have any instructions, Your Majesty?" the palace steward asked stoopingly.

"Let's go with the flow. If their design is really good, they can be selected. If the prince needs anything, as long as it doesn't violate the principle, he can provide some help." Frederick replied easily. In fact, he is happy to see the success, and his crown prince has done a serious job. And if the opponent's design can really be as good as the armor they made, it will also be very beneficial to the German Navy. From a political point of view, if Prussia and Bavaria can have a good relationship, then there will be much fewer internal conflicts in Germany in the future. Personal relationship? Sometimes we still need to develop it.
