Chapter 25 Our goal is the world!

"Enster Foss, what do you think of the Bavarian Ship Design Bureau's suggestions?" Herman Brom took a sip of coffee and looked at the silent old guy across the street.

"Those hateful nobles! Their suggestions are to some extent ultimatums! If we refuse, the orders for the first armored cruisers may not be our turn! In the next few years, we can only make a living by repairing ships and building some third-class cruisers in the warship industry. We will even be thrown far away by those big shipyards!" Ernst Fors said with some angrily.

"Our technology and speed are definitely the first-class in the German Empire. With just strength, we can definitely get a share of the orders of the first batch of four armored cruisers! Hermann Brom comforted that although it is a purely private shipyard, it is no less than all German shipyards of the same period, especially the shipbuilding speed. If they say they are the second in Germany, no one dares to say they are the first! This can be seen from the comparison between history and other shipyards!

Last book talked about the construction of the third-class armored cruiser that the factory participated in. So good, let’s analyze it one by one! The Prince Albert armored cruiser No. 1 was built at the Kielders Shipyard and started construction in 1900 and completed in January 1904! The entire construction process was nearly 4 years, and the No. 2 was built at the Brom-Foss Shipyard. It started construction in 1901 and was completed in December 1903! The No. 2 started construction several months later than the No. 1, but it was completed a month earlier! The Navy’s shipyard was defeated first!

Kielders, who had lost for a while, expressed dissatisfaction and claimed that the sample had the ability to compete! So, in the construction of the next-class armored cruiser Ron-class, the two shipyards competed again! Kielders were responsible for the first ship, and Brom-Foss Shipyard built the second ship! Facts proved that history always has amazing similarities! Kielders Naval Shipyard started construction in 1902, and Brov-Foss Shipyard started construction in 1903, and the completion time difference was larger than the first time! Ship One was put into service in April 1906, while Ship Two, which was built by the latter, was completed in November 1905! The construction cycle of a 10,000-ton armored cruiser was compressed to less than two years! Who can match this achievement?

As the three major German shipyards, Kielders Shipyard said that his brother was dissatisfied! Another Breme Weisel Shipyard jumped out and said that his brother was dissatisfied! So, during the construction of the famous Scharnhorst-class armored cruiser, the two sides started to compete again! This time, the opponent started construction first, and the Weisel Company started construction in 1904. After more than three years, it finally delivered the navy in March 2008, they were suddenly surprised to find that the opponent started construction in 2005 and delivered the navy in October 2007! It was not an exaggeration to say that it was almost one year! From then on, the construction speed of the Brom-Foss Shipyard was well-known in the entire German country!

What would happen if everyone spent the same time building? Kiel Shipyard later built the Blücher armored cruiser, which the latter built the von der Tinn battlecruiser, which was the first German battleship to use steam turbines and the first battleship! Without any reference, the two shipyards completed the two battleships almost in the same time!

To put it bluntly, at the same time, the latter can produce a pure BC, while the former can only complete one last-generation installation patrol! This TM is the difference!

In the following years, almost all the BCs were built by this shipyard. When the famous Deflinger-class battlecruiser started construction, Danze's Shuofei Shipyard competed with it, and then everyone understood the result! The chocolate started construction in January 2012 and was in service in November 2014, and did Luciov? It seemed that it started construction in May 2012 and in March 2016...'

However, this shipyard with such an NB has never built a battleship in the entire German War 1 history! I personally think that the difficulty of building a BC is not smaller than that of a BB of the same level? (The author has no idea, please make up for it yourself!)

"In Germany, it is never a matter of technology and ability to determine their status. Germanic Shipyard, Kiel Shipyard, Wilhelmshaven Emperor Shipyard, and Volkeng Shipyard have state support or large industrial groups. Even if our technology is powerful, it still cannot compete with their policy advantages!" Fouss sighed and said, "Unless we have this advantage too!"

"Didn't the idea raised by the Italian just meet our requirements?" Brom said curiously. "If we cooperate with them, wouldn't we just get the order we had always dreamed of? And after experiencing that incident not long ago, the Admiralty would not cause trouble for the prince. Because those who were blind have been cleaned up!"

"The key is that their requirements are too high, 30% of the dry stocks! They will become the largest shareholder of this shipyard with both of us. As long as they join forces with other shareholders, they can easily gain an overwhelming advantage in the board of directors! This ratio is absolutely unbearable! This is equivalent to giving up the shipyard that we have put in countless hard work!" Fox said disgustedly.

So the two founders fell into a dilemma. The first option was to give up and say goodbye to each other's partner, and then say goodbye to the Navy's orders. It may even have nothing to do with the Navy's orders in the future. The second option is to surrender. However, this is to let your shipyard say goodbye to yourself! In other words, it is to stretch your head and cut it back or a knife. The same is a knife, what do you think you should do?

"Why do we have to control the equity? If we want to control this shipyard, we can take it slowly, first hold a small amount of shares, then join forces with other shareholders to launch an attack, or use the names of multiple companies to distribute the shares, and then sell them in a concentrated manner." At almost the same time, the time traveler asked his chief ship designer and salesman.

"I don't care who this shipyard is under. After all, even if the holding is completed, the controller will be the Bavarian royal family, not me! Do you think so?" the baron said with his eyes rolling over.

"I tm..." Just a little bit, the national scolding was uttered!!

"The key is that I have to control the development direction of this shipyard! I want them to keep up with us! The German shipyard's footsteps are too slow. So far, I have never built a 10,000-ton warship! The Munich-class armored cruiser is just a transitional product! We have a stronger blueprint for warships! And this warship is not something that Germany can build at present! The more I make, the richer I can get! So, let's look at it longer! Our target is not Germany, but the whole world!" Baron Vittorio said here, the light emitted by his two eyes made the time traveler a little dazed for a moment.

"Obstinence! How can you succeed without such obsession?" The time traveler couldn't help but sigh! If this person traveled to the prehistoric novel, the most difficult self, would probably come out in an instant! The Germans' pace is indeed slow, and the speed of moving a little bit can't keep up with the trend of the world!

"The Munich-class armored cruiser is exported. In fact, from the bottom of my heart, I don't like this tonnage that is neither up nor down, and this ability that is neither up nor down. Although it is enough to match all the opponents now, it cannot deal with those more powerful guys."

The time traveler is telling the truth. In history, no matter how strong Garibaldi is, he is not as good as the six Japanese acrs. By 1905, it can only be said that he was not out of date. In this plane, who knows what kind of butterfly effect will be triggered by Garibaldi's early appearance? It is better to prepare as soon as possible for everything. After all, the German naval military expenditure cannot be compared with the United Kingdom. If Britain is the potential opponent, not to deal with the invincible BC, at least it must be able to fight back against the attacks of Minotao and other Acrs, right?
