The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 386: Care about

"His Royal Highness, why did you agree to Prince Ruprecht's rude request? In the absence of a majority vote, he actually had to hold a hearing to prevent the Royal Shipyard's proposal from being shortlisted?" Admiral Liao Le Said dissatisfied.

"Feel very arbitrary?" Prince Heinrich asked calmly.

"Isn't it? Except him, almost everyone expressed support for the William Royal Shipyard's plan. This plan has passed the primary election. There is no need to hold this hearing!" Admiral Liao Le said.

"Scheer and I did not express our support, but were more satisfied with this plan at the beginning, pay attention to your wording!" Prince Heinrich corrected slightly displeased. "Don't think that the prince of Bavaria is an arrogant guy. He is more proficient in politics than you can imagine. He knows where the emperor's bottom line is. Therefore, every seemingly reckless action is successful. This time is the same."

"The voting will take place in 2 days. Our current attitude can be changed, so there is no non-compliance with the rules. Secondly, according to the procedure, the designer needs to accept questions. Although the time is a bit wrong, these are minor issues."

"More importantly, the emperor supports this question, because the prince has always done a good job and has never let the empire down. The empire needs people who can do things, and the rest are small sections. The emperor believes that he should be given such a chance. Of course, if this time, the Wigner designer of the Royal William Shipyard can defeat the prince, the emperor will naturally give the reward he deserves."

The attitude of Prince Heinrich is the attitude of the Kaiser. The prince has already said very clearly that everything in this naval bidding is based on efficiency. Bavaria and Prussia are engaged in competition, and it is okay to use some means that are not on the table! The Kaiser is very clear about the relationship between certain people in the German Navy and the shipyard. These are tolerable within a certain range, but don't forget the premise-the Kaiser needs excellent warships!

"I believe that Mr. Wigner's level and loyalty to the empire, I will let him prepare well." Admiral Liao nodded and said, he understood the bottom line of the Kaiser, and he also knew that some key issues were absolutely detours. If you can't open it, you can only face it!

"His Royal Highness, you are tantamount to driving yourself and your opponent to a dead end at the same time. This is a big bet. The winner wins and the loser loses all the games. This method is too fierce, and even the German emperor is touched. , Once we lose, it will be over!" Count Vittorio said worriedly. He is a businessman, and he likes to leave a way for himself at all times. The prince makes him very uncomfortable.

"To be honest, Wigener's design still has some merits. Their plan is faster. The power of more than 50,000 horsepower can make this warship run at a high speed of 25 knots. The firepower is relative to the Mainz class. For armored cruisers, there has also been a substantial improvement. Although the armor is tricky, it is also much better than Mainz. I don't know why you have to decide to start with the battlecruiser plan?" the count asked.

"First, I don’t have time to negotiate a marathon with them. After finishing this matter, I will return to Bavaria to see the research and development of a new generation of combat vehicles. By the way, I will solve my personal problems. The latter two things are comparable. This matter is much more important. I need time."

"Second, the new thing I got is very specific to Wigener’s battlecruiser plan. Our chances of success will be even greater! I am now 60% sure, if your calculated weight and data are correct. , I am at least 80% sure to get rid of this plan!" The prince said confidently.

"You say so, I can rest assured." As a good employee, Vittorio will naturally not take the place of his boss. Now that the boss has decided, he won't say anything more, and he won't ask. What is his boss? No one will put eggs in a basket. The prince must have other channels to get some extra help. This is the secret of the superior, and the count must respect it.

At the same time, in the study of the Kaiser, Prince Heinrich also gave a detailed account of the Kaiser.

"Ruprecht seems to be very confident about this matter." After listening to this, the Kaiser was also a little curious. Although the prince looked very reckless in the eyes of outsiders, Wilhelm II had been dealing with him since 10 years ago. It is very clear that the so-called recklessness of this good friend is based on adequate preparation. If you don't fight insecure battles, you will either do nothing. If you want to do something, it will be ripe and natural!

"I am also surprised. If only from the design point of view, both sides have their own merits. Bavaria's defense and firepower are definitely more advantageous, but the speed is slightly slower. Their rated power is only 45,000 horsepower, and the speed is only 24 knots. The cost is also higher."

"Wegener's plan weakened the firepower, but the defense is still good on paper. The thickest part is 270mm, which is gradually weakened. The speed is the stabilized Bavarian plan, with a rated power of 52,000 horsepower and a maximum of 25.5. The key to saving speed is cheap."

"My opinion is that each has its own advantages. If you are a navy general, you will probably choose the Bavarian plan, and if you are the Chancellor of the Exchequer, you will probably choose Wigner's plan." The prince said half-seriously and half-jokingly.

"In other words, this time the Prussian design is done well~lightnovelpub.net~Well, in this case, if Ruprecht can't come up with some other innovative things, then we will use our own The plan!" The Kaiser said proudly.

"Brother, are you predetermining the result?" The prince said unexpectedly.

"Haha, set the result in advance? Remember, when you think you are about to win, many things are when you are the furthest away from success. What we can see, Ruprecht can definitely see why he is so Confidently using this fierce method, it must be depended on!" The Kaiser shook his head and said.

Is the prince confident? Of course confident! As long as the prince saw this battle cruise plan, he was very confident. This thing, the prince knew, was almost a replica of the Mochi-class battlecruiser in history. The tonnage, power and firepower were almost the same, artillery. It's 11 inch l50 like in history! Apart from the designer, no one knows the actual situation of this class of battleship better than him!

How is Mao Qi? If it is the first generation battle cruiser, it is naturally good. It is not that the design is more nb, but that the products of the same period are not good. If you dig a little bit, there is still a lot of dark history of Mao Qi!
