"I only now know what it means to lose one's life... What does it mean to have a hundred miles away... What does it mean to shoot yourself in the foot..." Ruprecht's mood when he came out could be described as grief!

Ruprecht ran to Berlin regardless of the carriage, Malaoton, as soon as he got off the ship, wasn't it just to get the endorsement of the German Navy? Not to mention the losses caused by the warships being half-pulled and half-pulled, even if they could be sold in the end, the loss of interest on the capital occupied by the capital will make Ruprecht very sad!

Logically speaking, if you are more conservative, Ruprecht could simply not do this business. Anyway, the shipyards will not lack orders in the short term, and there is no economic problem at all. But Ruprecht knew that he had a reason to have to make this order! It was not just economic, but multifaceted!

Ruprecht didn't ask whether the construction mission of the Brandenburg-class battleship would fall at Brom-Foss Shipyard! Because he knew that this was definitely impossible! To be honest, this design was taken out by Fuerkeng Shipyard, so they would have to get at least one. How many large shipyards in Germany are? How difficult is it to grab an order for a ship? Last time in the second phase, Brom-Foss Shipyard had already obtained orders for two domestic warships and a bunch of overseas orders, so this time, his own shipyard could not get this order at all!

In the future, the tonnage of the German Navy's battleships and cruisers will be at least 13,000 tons! Now the largest battleship built by the Brom-Foss Shipyard is only 7,500 tons! This tonnage of 80% is not easy to handle! So the shipyard needs a process of adaptation, and if it cannot get domestic orders, it can only join forces with the Russians. So this time the order was not only because of money, but also to deal with the upcoming naval construction! Training the team to accumulate experience.

Another reason is where the Russians imported artillery. The Americans had industrial volume, but the quality was still poor. The French would not say anything about it, and they would basically not sell it. The British themselves were still using 12-inch l35... and the Italians did not. So Ruprecht could only obtain 12-inch large-caliber naval guns from Russia! This is not just a matter of arms trade. Ruprecht wanted to use this advantage of time to occupy a dominant position in the German naval military field!

As long as the next round of construction begins, Ruprecht can produce mature 12-inch cannons and 260mm cannons, then Krupp will probably not be able to turn over within 10 years! Unless they come up with the design of 14-inch cannons! And after taking the cannons, Bavaria can still take over a large order including turrets and servos. This is a lot of money, and the profit margin may not be lower than that of warship armor!

In other words, this transaction is based on everyone's mutual needs. The only difference is that Ruprecht is well aware of the needs of both sides, while the Russians only know their own needs, but not Ruprecht's plan, which gives Ruprecht the dominant position in this transaction! If the Russians know what Ruprecht thinks, then their conditions will only be more excessive!

If Russia does not order warships from itself, the artillery transaction will likely be shelved, at least postponed. This will have a great impact on Ruprecht's plan! And if the Russians sell artillery to Krupp in revenge, then Ruprecht's biggest advantage will become a disadvantage! The naval gun field may not be able to intervene in the next ten years! So Ruprecht is playing fighting without breaking! That's all!

"Your Highness, you don't seem to have achieved your goal." When Ruprecht returned to his residence, he found that Earl Schelling had been waiting for a long time. Judging from Ruprecht's somewhat depressed expression, he already knew the reason. It was difficult for the German Navy to take over his family!

"If the Russians break the contract without their own support, half of these two ships may fall into our hands," Ruprecht said.

"So you're hesitating now? Hesitating for millions of pounds?"

"This is not a decimal, and we have reasons to make this list. The Earl should be very clear." As the bond between Ruprecht and his father, although the Earl is only a royal minister, his actual power is still very high. You must know that Princess Sissi's father was also a private minister at the time!

"If the Russians don't want it, this ship can be sold to Japan!" the Count said calmly!

"This is a bit difficult. The backstage of Japan is the British. The British provide loans and protections to Japan, and arms transactions are political." Ruprecht was shocked! He felt a little underestimated by this count. He thought he was just a person who was proficient in ownership and socializing, but now it seems that it is not just that.

"The British are now looking for opportunities to improve relations with us, while the Japanese need other countries to be at least neutral. There is no political problem in purchasing one to two warships from Germany. And because the Russians advance part of the funds, even if we sell them at a cheap price, we can still make a much higher profit than ordinary warships! Use the British artillery and sell it to Japan for 800,000! Plus the 350,000 advance paid by the Russians! We can earn at least about 300,000! (The artillery fee of Japan pays for Britain)" Earl Schelling calculated the Monclerical qualifying!

"I don't know why you are very resistant to Japan. This reason is hard for me to understand. It may be because the battle in Huanghai made you feel threatened. Or some other unknown reasons!" Earl Schelling's seemingly careless words were full of temptation.

"I hate this nation! Despicable, shameless, without bottom line, cruel!" Ruprecht expressed his anger at this Eastern country without hesitation!

"Then let them send the money they have worked hard to earn into our purse, and you also hate the Russians! We cannot blindly support one of these two countries! Only by betting at the same time can we get along with each other, not to mention that we still have what they need in our hands now." The Count said.

"So what you mean is to let me contact Japan now?"

"No, it's not possible now. When we beat the Japanese and get beaten to the death, we'll be beaten to death! When they saw an army equipped with Bavarian weapons, they would throw a sweet date to them! The cold light in the earl's eyes made Ruprecht shudder.

"Then according to this principle, we will delay the negotiations with the Russians. After the Russians have blind confidence in our equipment, we will have a more advantage?" Not only the navy, but also the army's equipment! Ruprecht understands the Count's meaning. When Bavaria makes this brand and hold it up, Japan and Russia can only kneel down and lick it! Then, how do you do it yourself!

"Sir, please tell the Russian representatives and ask them to come to Munich to find me! Negotiate in one month!" Ruprecht said.

"Yes, Your Highness the Prince!" The Count was very satisfied, with a sensible smile on his face.
