"Damn it! Is the German imagination still very rich? There are several common layouts in the era of Dreadnoughts! Why did Nassau and Helgolan in history choose the worst layout?" The prince looked through the files next to him with emotion, and shook his head.

"Okay, everyone, can we hurry up? Don't waste time on those plans that are destined to be thrown out!" The prince knocked on the table. "The design of some things is obviously behind the times, and even the warships we already have is not as good as those of them. Some things are too small in structure. We can eliminate these first, and we can also make our work more efficient!"

"Damn, are you starting to eliminate your opponent now? You're too arrogant?!" Tirpitz's head buzzed. He thought to himself, this prince is really strong enough... Looking at the people next to him, they also had some dissatisfaction in their eyes, but no one dared to say it for a while.

The high position and power are one aspect, but they also know the technology! If the remaining few people are not considered staff, they can't even argue with the prince. Of course, if you include the staff, you can't even argue with them. Earl Vittorio is too strong and has to be on the top of the line in terms of level! A gangster who has power and money, professional and versatile, ask if you are afraid!

"But we should also give the designer a chance. It would be better to just sweep it out without listening to their defense, right?" General Liao Le couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw Tirpitz who was nestled beside him and said nothing. It was originally supposed to be Tirpitz's Navy Department responsible for the material preparation of the navy, including the bidding of warships. It was naturally the most appropriate for him to speak out at this time, but obviously, Tirpitz was cowardly, so he could only let him, the director of the naval office, stand up.

"So who can explain to me what the No. 1 plan proposed by Volkeng Shipyard is reasonable? The six turrets are deployed in diamond shapes on the warships. Such a bad design, except for the warships I sold to the Russians and Japanese, who have ever seen such a bad layout?" Prince Ruprecht threw one of the documents in front of the other side!

"The design of the Volkeng Factory considers two situations. The first situation is that when the fleet is attacked by firepower on both sides, it can fight against both sides at the same time. The second situation is that after one side is damaged or people are exhausted, the firepower on the other side can be compensated." Admiral Boer said.

"You guys are kidding? The German navy's combat distance is 7 to 8 kilometers. If the other party launches a pincer attack on our warships, how can they coordinate? Even if they take a step back, they successfully carry out pincer attacks, and each of the other party's squadrons are very strong, then I would like to ask, why don't we choose to retreat? We still have to fight to the death even though we know that the battle situation is extremely bad?" The prince smiled angrily.

"We use 6 turrets, but we can only use the firepower of 4 turrets at most. Can anyone tell me what value this plan has? Relatively speaking, Volkeng's No. 2 plan is more reliable. He directly contacted the layout of the Mainz-class armored cruiser, and the firepower of the 8 main guns within a certain angle," said the prince.

"What do you mean, do you think Volkeng's No. 2 plan is worthy?" Prince Heinrich, who had not spoken, asked tentatively.

"At least better than plan No. 1." said the prince.

"So do you think this is OK? The No. 1 plan of Volkeng Shipyard is invalidated, and the No. 2 plan is pre-selected." Prince Heinrich said with the flow.

"Okay, yes!" Wang Zixin said that this plan of retreating to advance is amazing! He abandoned a plan that would inevitably fail and sent another plan to the other plan. This method of throwing away the pawns and protecting the car is so clever. But the prince didn't say much, because this plan No. 2 does have certain advantages, and it is not appropriate to throw it away after the preliminary review. After all, they designed it according to Mainz's layout.

"Your Highness, I have carefully looked at the designs in Bavaria. Overall, these designs are very good from the data, such as triple turrets, new three-row boiler layout, new underwater defense system, etc. It is very thoughtful and very attractive. But what I want to say is, are these designs too avant-garde? Especially triple turrets. This is a bit difficult." Tirpitz, who was standing aside, also put down his work.

"There are some avant-gardes and some risks, but we are willing to take this risk. If the warships cannot meet the expected standards due to design problems, we in Bavaria can compensate or make free improvements. This is OK, right? And if there is a problem with the plans of other shipyards, can they make the same promise as us?" the prince asked back.

"But this battleship with a total displacement of 26,000 tons is still a little larger. It exceeds the construction capacity of most of our shipyards. We can't give all our orders to Brom-Foss Shipyard and Germania Shipyard, right?" said Admiral Liaole next to him.

"Oh, I understand. It turns out that you are considering how to divide this cake, not how to make it well! Is there any hardware shortcoming in other factories or our fault? What is the purpose of bidding? Isn't it better to get the best out of the best? Competition is efficient. Do Prussian capitalists regard the naval construction plan as a feast? Should Bavaria be excluded?" the prince said angrily!

"I don't mean that, Your Highness. Expanding the navy requires many shipyards. In order to ensure that a sufficient number of warships can be built, we must consider the technical conditions of other shipyards. Your warship is technically difficult and the cost is too high. This is what we must consider. What we want is not the most advanced weapon, but the most suitable weapon." Prince Heinrich immediately came to smooth things over.

"Do you think this is OK? If Bavaria can produce the finished product of the three-unit turret, then all the three-unit turret plans can pass the preliminary review. How about it?" Tirpitz proposed a compromise plan.

"All the twin-mounted turrets of the new warship are also new. Do you ask Krupp to take out samples of the new twin-mounted turrets now? They are all new turrets. Why do we Bavaria need to take out samples now? This is unfair!" the prince retorted.

"How about it within half a year? Before the warship put down the first keel, we take out samples of all subsystems!" said the prince.

"Your Highness, we cannot decide this, we can only leave it to the Emperor of Germany to decide. We can put this issue aside and discuss other issues first." Seeing that the situation was going to be stiff, both sides decided to put it aside for the time being and ease the conflict between them.
