"A few embarrassing things happened between the two sides in the past. Under the instigation and concealment of some people with ulterior motives, some misunderstandings occurred between us. Today, we are here to resolve these misunderstandings so that we can have a better future." It is also Parokin and Makanov, the former responsible for diplomatic affairs, while the latter responsible for naval technical affairs.

"Shut up! If you use these nonsense to waste my precious time, then please go out and tell Moscow to change another negotiator! Because I didn't see any sincerity in your words, all of them are dealing with it! Coping with it! And deceiving!"

"You don't even know what I care about the most! And what I want is not necessarily what I want. What you want is what I want, I can give you what you want. Those steel beasts that ravage the Far East are not unbearable, because they are made by us and we have better solutions. But before that, you must find ways to heal the psychological harm I have suffered and prepare enough money for these stronger guys." Prince Ruprecht said impatiently.

"The cost of the warship can be discussed, but first we need to see some basic data. Only in this way can we report to the country." Parokin explained.

"You still don't understand what I want to say. Before ordering a warship, you must heal the psychological harm I have suffered. Do you understand? These are two things, and when we take your order, your country will definitely ask us not to provide warships for Japan, and these are all losses for me. Make up for this first and then talk about something else. I understand what I said very clearly." The prince shook his head and said.

"Damn, this is asking for money directly! And after giving this money, I can't get any benefits! Can you not be so shameless?" Parokin finally understood the idea of ​​the prince in front of me. I first gave a sum of money for free, and then discussed the money for buying a ship. But even with such harsh conditions, Parokin couldn't refuse, because the Russian Navy had no other choice now.

The four Asama-class armored cruisers were like a sword of Damocles hanging above the head of the Russian Far East Fleet. The Russians must find something that can deal with these four warships as soon as possible. It is definitely not possible to build them by themselves. Americans? The newly built Brooklyn was beaten up. The Russians were very unconfident in American warships.

The French? Do you really think the French are good people? Their loan interest rates are so high, and the prices when buying French warships with loans are also terrible. More importantly, the products provided by the French are 80% that cannot beat Asama. The cost-effectiveness is terrible. So now Russia can only choose German warships! Since it is now a seller's market, what else is there to be ambiguity? Just sharpen the knife and kill it to death!

"I have no right to decide your request at the moment, but in order to save us time and avoid errors in understanding, can I ask, if all the fees are added together, how much does it cost to buy a newly designed warship of your party?" Parokin took a deep breath, calmed down his nervousness, and then said.

"1.8 million pounds per ship!" The prince gave a simple offer.

"Hiss..." The two people on the opposite side took a breath. The price was far beyond their expectations. "1.8 million pounds? Why don't you go and grab it?" Parokin almost yelled.

"Do you think a Russian armored cruiser, well, is now called the Asama-class armored cruiser, worth 1.5 million pounds in this war?" the prince asked with a smile.

"Let's review history and then assume. If your country did not unsubscribe these two warships, then in the Battle of Sulu, your country would have two super cruisers, which would offset each other with the two purchased by the Japanese. The US-Russian fleet would be overwhelming. In fact, the Japanese spent less than 3 million pounds of military spending, and won this war that determines the destiny of the country!"

"The Americans lost the fleet they had accumulated for more than five years, and your country lost three armored cruisers and thousands of navy. More importantly, Japan won the Philippines and won the market and colonies needed for development. In the future, if your country wants to completely defeat Japan, don't say 3 million pounds, is 30 million pounds enough? I don't think so?"

"More than a dozen battleships, a large number of cruisers and hundreds of thousands of troops will be deployed to the Far East, thousands of miles away from Europe. The supplies needed by the army, fortresses, and the war expenses after the war begin. The ownership of the two warships has changed the fate of the two countries."

"If you agree with what I just said, then you should think that the price I want is really not high. This is a warship that is much more powerful than the Asama class! Even if your navy is worse than that of Japan, your performance advantage can still make your navy completely overwhelm your opponent." The prince said.

"I know what this lieutenant general wants to ask! I can introduce this powerful warship now! I have to say that the Asama-class design is already perfect and meets the needs of a long time in the future. Therefore, if we want to defeat this fine product, we must adopt some more advanced technologies! It costs money to adopt these technologies, and the initial cost will be very high. Because the funds for various new equipment must be evenly allocated, the cost of these warships will be relatively high."

"The so-called pay for you, your country can certainly continue to order the original Russian-class armored cruiser. If the Japanese buy 4, then you can buy 5 or even 6. It is also possible to crush your opponent by relying on the advantage of quantity. Of course, in this way, your expenses may be even greater." The prince said very easily, and the content made the Russians terrified.

Even if a Russian armored cruiser uses its own artillery, it costs about 1 million pounds, while 6 pounds are 6 million pounds! This price and personnel cost are really beyond the acceptable range of the Russians! The Russians never thought of spending so much money on their armored cruiser! Do quality or quantity? The Russians are in a dilemma!

"Don't think that you can complete this warship yourself. You can't complete it. Otherwise, you would rather start construction on the Russian ship yourself than come to me again. This will be a super warship with a displacement of up to 18,000 tons! It has an ultra-high speed of more than 20 knots! Just these two points, your country cannot achieve it!" said the prince proudly.
