Chapter 11 Deep Cooperation
"The other party has excellent professional knowledge. Although you quote a lot of people, you are talking about the current warships and planned warships of Britain, France and Russia, but you always feel that the strength is not enough. Their professional terms and calculations are what we don't want, what should we do?" In a recent letter from the Lord of the Black Hawk, the time traveler saw the other party's anxiety and his own disadvantage!
As the saying goes, it is like a mountain. Time travelers are not really a shipbuilder. It is okay to talk to people of the same enthusiast level on the Internet, but it is not possible to be serious. You must find professionals! But it is not easy to find professionals. As for Germany's current shipbuilding level, Caesar could not mention it before it came out. Even if you find professionals to show your attention, these gunmen still agree with the other party's point of view in their bones. This is still not good to fight! It is a trivial matter to lose the word, and it is not possible to delay your promotion career!
"Well, send a telegram to Baron Vittorio Kuniberty immediately and ask him to write an article immediately according to our requirements! The remuneration is paid separately, not counted as an annual salary!" Ruprecht called his younger brother to start the job. Things have almost fermented. It's time to use a killer move. By the way, let's see if this comrade is worthy of his continued investment in capital!
Vittorio Kuniberti! A must-have person for modern time travelers to build ships! Born in a small country, a cruiser sold for two figures! Serve in the navy of four countries! I ask you if you accept this NB record? I thank the Internet for my previous life. At the same time, I also thank a famous online naval enthusiast who founded the Garibaldi God Cult. Time travelers know that there is a naval designer who is very famous in the world today who is not very famous now! With such talent and encountering him when he is not successful, he will naturally have to dig out!
What is even more shocking is that this guy proposed the idea of a full-heavy artillery warship in 1900! His ideas are so advanced and his imagination is so great that I have to say I admire you! (This is from a magazine. Interested book lovers can search "The Horse in the Mediterranean - Italian Navy Dreadnought" on Baidu) What is even more terrifying is that after this guy was in a pre-fighting era, when other designers of the same era gradually ended and the previous wave was pushed to death by the next wave on the beach, the great Italian designer became more and more courageous and personally took charge of the design of the Italian first-class dreadno-class battleship!
Triple turret, 4 turret central axis layout! The maximum firepower of the side side is 12 12-inch heavy artillery! The design speed is nearly 23 knots, and the maximum trial sailing even ran 24 knots! If it comes to style, which warship started construction in 1909 can surpass it? In terms of artillery layout and design, almost all the German warships were to be at a disadvantage! Of course, due to the limitations of funds and tonnage, Dante's combat power can only be described in general. But after all, it is still very impressive in terms of design concepts.
"Make me 1 million pounds! I will make you an earl with a fief!" When the time traveler's younger brother brought Wang Changsun's handwritten letter to the hands of this Italian designer who was still considered unknown, the future designer and God of Wealth of the Italian Navy seemed to be knocked out by a huge big cake! The first-class nobles in Europe, the eldest son of one of the most powerful royal families, hired himself with an annual salary of 60,000 marks per year. You must know that the annual salary obtained by the German Prime Minister from the government is only 52,000 marks! (Of course, others have other income) In an instant, the fledgling Italian designer really couldn't find an excuse to refuse!
When the Bavarian royal representative took a check worth 20,000 marks and the Baron's seal directly on his desk, the designer, who was slightly congested, immediately said that he would complete everything in Italy in the shortest time and go to Germany! In just one month, under the power of huge money and background, His Royal Highness got what he wished!
Facing his most potential employees and the employees who get the most money, after several contacts, Peng Yi found that the money was definitely not spent in vain! This Italian designer not only had a mastery of shipbuilding, but also had great knowledge of marketing, interpersonal relationships, etc.! An Italian not only quickly became a hot topic with his German colleagues recruited from other places, but also had some suggestions on sales that also opened Peng Yi's eyes! He shouted that this money was not spent in vain! Many of his subsequent hypes were formulated according to his suggestions! And now, the time is here, it's time to use a big killer!
"It's time for those stubborn guys to be baptized by advanced design ideas!" The first sentence in Ruprecht's letter to the Lord of the Black Hawk was written like this! "We not only have to defeat our opponents in the newspaper, but also use this as an opportunity to completely change the status quo of the German Navy! All technical and design matters can be left to me to handle, it depends on whether you can handle the affairs of the German Navy. After the matter is completed, the profits of our design can be paid 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30% for 30%
You must be generous with allies! Why did the Krupp family become the largest family in Germany when William II? The bank had a working capital of up to 500 million marks? Because the German Emperor was his partner! Why was the German shipyard able to rise in the 1890s? Warship orders were only one aspect, and the other aspect was that the German government required major domestic shipping companies to support their shipbuilding industry! Some people were easy to do! You should know that Krupp had almost never entered the naval business except artillery before 1890.
In the exchanges between each other, both sides were weighing each other's weight. If the German Crown Prince participated in the idea of having fun at the beginning, but as things got bigger and bigger, the more money they spent, the Crown Prince began to doubt the other party's identity and motives! Tens of thousands of marks were not stuck, and they turned into black and white words in the newspaper. How could it be possible to say that there was no intention behind it? Judging from the other party's expenses and actions, the other party should be planning to enter the German shipbuilding industry. And this person is still in his appetite at present, so some things should be discussed, such as how to do it next and how to share the profits!
And this time, Ruprecht directly gave the other party an answer! You can handle the matter in Berlin, and leave the rest to me, and I will give you 30% of the pure profit! Whether to agree or not, just say, just do it! As for each other's identities, it is better not to talk about them first, after all, it is not a direct communication, and some words are still inconvenient. Until now, both parties are partners, but they are still in various transfers. This is not a matter of caution. After all, His Royal Highness the Prince believes that he has not done anything illegal. But now all preparations are in secret. It is best not to disturb potential competitors. It is best to do less of a thing that suppresses others with power.
"Well, it's pretty good. I really want to meet this partner now." Prince William nodded with satisfaction after receiving the letter. He never expected that the things he had done for a moment would develop to this level. This matter has become a business. The first business he did, so excited when he thought about it! The share ratio is still OK. The other party is not a stingy person, after all, he provides design and personnel. He is just taking a path.
There is such a saying in Europe. The kings always have the most secrets. Whether it is Prince William or Ruprecht, they try to make their actions more concealed. However, these moves failed to escape the eyes of Emperor Frederick III. He knew about this from the beginning. And as the popularity became more and more popular, his attention continued to rise. He knew the content of the communication between the two sides. After all, this was in someone's palace! I don't know, but he was a ghost!
He even knew the general identity of the other party, and the reason was very simple. In a letter, his servant found that the handwriting on the letter was completely coincided with the handwriting in a letter sent by the Bavarian royal family. In other words, the prince's collaborator was the Bavarian royal family! "They have been very active recently." After listening to the report from his subordinates, Frederick said with a smile.
"So your majesty, do you have any instructions?" the palace chief asked.
"Let it go with the flow. If their design is really good, you can be selected. If the prince needs anything, as long as it does not violate the principles, you can provide some help." Frederick replied easily. He was actually happy to see it, and his prince was considered a serious matter. If the other party's design can be as good as the armor they made, it will be very beneficial to the German navy. From a political point of view, if Prussia and Bavaria can establish a good relationship, then there will be much less conflicts within Germany in the future. Are private relations? Sometimes it is necessary to develop it.
