The Rise of the Empire

"There are also turret and turret armor! The 230mm turret front and 200mm turret can't resist the attack of the opponent's armor-piercing projectiles. At a normal combat distance, Skoda's new 12-inch L45 main gun can easily defeat a turret with this level of defense. Burning iron boxes one by one! It’s like setting off fireworks, with a bang!” The prince resolutely added two more knives. \u003c/p\u003eSeveral pictures and appraisal reports were sent to the desktops of the Kaiser and other naval personnel. The photos clearly showed the damage effect of the new 12-inch L45 artillery and the new shells on the hardened armor plate. A hole appears in the middle of the target. The radial metal traces formed after melting are clearly visible. ,\u003c/p\u003eThe icons on the photos and documents clearly mark the experimental conditions, such as the initial velocity of the shell, the drop angle of the shell, the thickness of the target plate, the penetration situation, etc. The whole experiment was done 3 times, respectively with 12 Inch artillery simulates the hit situation at 10km, using armor plates with thicknesses of 7 inches, 9 inches and 11 inches. The foothold is tentatively set at 20 degrees. The 7-inch and 9-inch armor plates were easily pierced, and they were shot 3 times respectively, and both were easily pierced. The 11-inch armor plate and the 9-inch armor plate placed at 15 degrees blocked the shells. \u003c/p\u003e"From this document, we can easily see the damage of the new artillery shells to the hardened armor. Especially the advantages of the inclined armor, Bavaria's plan fully considers the challenges of the new artillery to the defense, and chooses the correct The way to deal with it." The prince said with a smile. \u003c/p\u003eIn fact, the data in the test field is higher than the actual combat. After all, the vertical and horizontal angles when the shell hits the target are considered to be greater than 20 degrees in actual combat. Moreover, during the experiment, the explosive cavity inside the shell is filled with Sand is used as a counterweight, and in actual combat, shells may explode early or not. But even so, in front of the official test report of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, everyone must admit that there are major hidden dangers in Wegner's design. \u003c/p\u003eWhen the problem is not found out, it is nothing, but after it is found out, the problem becomes serious. As the bidder, Wegener cannot continue to participate in the bidding. The reason is very simple. The loopholes in this plan are too big. If it is to be changed, almost all of it must be changed, and the Kaiser has clarified the requirements for armor protection, which further reduces the interests of the shipyard. Even Wigner doubted whether the bosses of the shipyard would withdraw voluntarily after learning about this incident. \u003c/p\u003e "Okay, let's stop here, the Royal Wilhelm Shipyard disappointed me." The Kaiser made a final decision. Although not stated, it can be expected that Wigner's plan is out. "Prince Ruprecht, after the meeting is over, come to me. We have something to say in private."\u003c/p\u003e Admiral Liole and Tirpitz are like roosters who have lost a fight. This time the loser is So thorough. Naturally, they had no intention of staying longer, and Prince Heinrich and Admiral Bohr were in charge of the aftermath. After all, the shock was too great, and it was not just a plan that was overthrown this time. The battleship plan of the Royal Wilhelm Dockyard needed to be re-evaluated. On the other hand, Major General Scheer has no sense of presence. In the original setting, it was regarded as a role for the prince to study. \u003c/p\u003e "You are very good, your ability really opened my eyes!" William II said with a gloomy face. \u003c/p\u003e "Thank you for the compliment." The prince said calmly. \u003c/p\u003e "Do you think I'm praising you?" The Kaiser said with a livid face. If the person sitting opposite was not a prince, but a German official, no matter who he was, the Kaiser would have picked up his cane Knock it over! But it's a pity that the opposite is a prince, and a prince with real power. This stick will lead to diplomatic disputes! And the latter is also the son-in-law of the Austrian Emperor, which is tantamount to a slap in the face of the two families.... \u003c/p\u003e"You must have done it on purpose. You know that there is something wrong with Wigner's plan, so you made such a show? It's a shame to us.

Do you feel particularly accomplished? Watching our plan being swept into the trash can, you are proud and happy! Then regard the German navy as your private land? is that so? "William II said angrily.\u003c/p\u003e"That can only be blamed on some people for not making progress. Your Majesty, do you think this will work? Let's take a step back. The battleship plan of Royal William Dockyard is not bad. We can help to change it. The first battleship order is handed over to Royal William Dockyard. My Brome \u0026 Forth shipyard has taken the order for the first battlecruiser. How about using ours for naval guns? "The prince thought for a while and said. He did not continue to entangle the face issue with the Kaiser. Instead, he directly discussed the issue of profit sharing.\u003c/p\u003eBecause not too much weight and cost were invested in power, the battleship plan of the Royal Wilhelm Shipyard was still It's okay, just strengthen the horizontal armor, the change will not be big. And judging from the conditions of this shipyard, it is considered appropriate to build such a warship. It is impossible for the prince to monopolize all the plans. Instead of doing this, it is better Take a step back and look at the situation first.\u003c/p\u003e "What about the battleship plan? In this round of military expansion, we may build 7 capital ships, and there are 5 battleships left. What are you going to do? "The Kaiser asked.\u003c/p\u003e" Everyone depends on their ability! I believe Bavaria's battleship program agreed to be more advanced than the other side, we gave them time to improve their hardware, if they still use the excuse of building difficulty as an excuse, it will not be justified. "The prince said.\u003c/p\u003e "Okay, but I want to remind you, don't think that you can win the game, you have run out of cards this time, if the designers of the Royal William Dockyard carry out the plan according to your suggestion If you modify it, then your plan will have no advantage. I can tell you clearly that unless your plan has benefits that are hard to refuse, otherwise, I will not choose the Bavarian plan. "The Kaiser said bluntly.\u003c/p\u003e"I hope you can remember what you said today, Your Majesty. "The Kaiser's attitude is very clear. Whether you say you are angry or threatening, anyway, the attitude now is that the central government will choose Prussia instead of Bavaria under the same conditions. This is already a serious unequal attitude. .But Ruprecht did not object, because he still has cards!\u003c/p\u003e"Haha. The Kaiser laughed dryly, "If you were a Prussian, we would get along better." "\u003c/p\u003e "Hehe, if I were a Prussian, I wouldn't be where I am today!" "The prince sneered in his heart. Now the prince has seen through it. When the interests are divided at the critical moment, William II still prefers Prussia. I'm afraid I really won't get any benefits, and then how will the Kaiser, who is extremely powerful, treat his little brothers including southern Bavaria? It's really intriguing!
