As for letting the French rebuild the warship? Sorry, the design of French warships in this era is still very rubbish. It is far inferior to the dazzling stars that appeared in the French Navy during World War II. For example, the Utopian destroyer leader with a speed of 45 knots or more, for example, the treaty cruiser. Among the top heavy cruisers of the Algiers class, such as the Strandsburg-class fast battleship of the Xiaoqiang King, such as the famous Cardinal and Richelieu-class battleship. The French navy design in this era is a salty fish, and in terms of construction period, it is much slower than the American self-built warship. After all, you design and build from scratch. You give the American a reason. Why does the U.S. Navy buy the French? Politically correct is not good either!

However, this is not enough. Ruprecht must let the enmity between the United States and France accumulate deeper! The starting point is still the arms trade! The crown prince decided to provide the French with the technology of large submarines! In history, because the French navy’s main operations were in the Mediterranean, the displacement of French submarines was too small. Not to mention the largest German submarine of 2000 tons in history. The French did not have any submarine above 1500 tons. !

And on this plane, even if the French have acquired submarine technology in this area, in addition to their own use, takeaways are certain, and the target is not surprisingly Japan! Submarines are very difficult to prevent now, and are submarines different from other warships? Its construction period is very short! And if the submarine provided by the French caused several things similar to the Lusitania incident in history in the hands of the Japanese, then the relationship between the United States and France can be regarded as completely yellow!

"What about Italy?" Prince Baden asked. Regarding the French question, the crown prince's answer satisfied him, so how can Italy solve it? Compared with the French navy, the Italian navy's family property that has not experienced the baptism of war is still possible, and now the Italian navy is available in stock! The hard work of the Italian Navy-the Caraggiono class fast battleship is quite good!

"At present, the most conservative way is to squeeze out the Italians through competition! You know, what the Americans need now is just a transition. If it is not a last resort, they are not willing to equip a 15 that has never been used by their navy. Inch artillery battleship! This will bring some trouble to supply and maintenance. If we provide enough fast battleships to the Americans, then the Americans may not pack all the Caraggiono-class battleships." The crown prince said.

"So, what you mean is that the Japanese might also buy this class of battleship?" Prince Baden asked.

"It's not possible, but I will definitely buy it! The reason is simple. Now, of all the battleships that can be sold to Japan, there are only the Caraggiono class and the Rage class. The Japanese have no choice!" said the crown prince.

"Then the Americans will give up ordering Helgoland-class battleships from us and choose to buy all the Caraggiono-class battleships? After all, we cannot sell warships to the Japanese." Grand Duke Baden asked.

"If there is no time limit, then it is possible for the Americans to do so, but if the Japanese act immediately and force the U.S. Navy to urgently need ready-made battleships, then the Americans may not be able to wait for the completion of the Caraggiono-class battleships and can only rely on us I bought it in my hand! As for eating all of us and the Italian battleships at the same time? This cost is really high! Because now, we offer each Helgoland-class battleship to 3.5 million pounds! Caraggiono will only Higher!" the crown prince said with a smile.

Yes, you read that right. The Helgoland-class battleship, which cost less than £2 million in the year, is now close to £3.5 million. The reason is simple, inflation! The so-called Queen Elizabeth-class construction cost fluctuated between 2.5 million and 3.2 million pounds in history. Now, it is a seller's market. Germany requires a high price, right? After all, this is an existing ship!

Buying a battleship is not just a matter of just spending money to buy it back. You also need to buy a complete set of various maintenance and staffing. Think about it, even with the national strength of the United States before the Second World War, battleships are not just casual. It can be exploded. Now, the Helgoland-class battleships of Deo can be sold 4-6, and there are 4 Caraggiono-class battleships in Italy. Considering the battleships under construction on the American berth, the US Navy has How much can you eat all these warships? Even if the money is fine, what should the staff do?

And to be honest, from the perspective of time, the Caraggiono-class battleship is really a bit of a taste for the US Navy, because if you need to use it in a hurry, it is better to buy a German ship directly. If you want performance, the time is not much late in the US The battleship is much stronger than Caraggiono. The only reason the Americans must buy is probably because they are afraid of the Japanese snapping them up, right? But this kind of panic buying is only possible, not inevitable. Are Americans willing to use tens of millions of pounds to bet on this possibility? Not necessarily? After all, sometimes the crown prince can see things clearly, but Americans may not understand them!

"So what if the Italians choose to equip the Caraggiono-class battleships instead of selling them? If this is the case, we will not be able to bury a nail between Italy and the United States." Prince Baden said.

"Italian Navy will not be equipped with Caraggiono-class battleships~lightnovelpub.net~ The crown prince smiled mysteriously. "The reason is very simple, because the US Navy may help us deal with old-style battleships, so the German Navy’s new ship construction plan can Greatly ahead of schedule, we will build a new ship with a displacement of more than 38,000 tons and equipped with nine 16-inch naval guns. The Austro-Hungarian Empire will follow suit, and the French Navy will follow suit! "

"The French still have plans to build a new ship?" Prince Baden exclaimed.

"Political building is only a matter of fact. In fact, in the form of the Mediterranean, even if the Chinese people do not have this economic condition now, they will also build momentum, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire will definitely build a 16-inch battleship. That’s good, tell me, With Faw in the middle of Italy, why should he continue to spend a lot of money to equip the warships that have fallen behind before launching? Isn’t it a better choice to sell these warships and build new ships? Even if new ships are possible It will be completed in the next 6 years, but it doesn’t matter, there will be no threat in Italy anyway!” The crown prince explained with a smile.

"And if Italy takes action to expand its armaments, then France will also take action. After all, the Mediterranean bath is really small, and maybe a fake will become a real one!" said the crown prince.
