What does an advertising slogan mean? Diamonds will last forever, and one will be passed on forever! Even good things, even if people in later generations look at them from the perspective of hindsight, those classic things can still be called the pinnacle of a certain era. Even if time travelers pass by, they may not be better!

After several months of hard work, Baron Vittorio Kuniberti finally created the famous warship in history with the inspiration and encouragement of the time traveler (mainly money)! The Garibal, well, is now called the Munich-class armored cruiser, making a brilliant debut! When the newly promoted Baron came over with his own design drawings and planned to discuss the bonus issue this year with his boss, His Royal Highness expressed his dissatisfaction! It was not that he felt sorry for the little money. But that this design has not changed much from history! He spent several days instilling in him the advanced ideas of later generations, how could he finally create an enhanced version of Garibaldi?

There are still some changes. The original Garibaldi chaotic main gun was uniformly equipped with a single-mounted 11-inch gun. In order to adapt to ocean-going operations, the displacement of the Garibaldi prototype ship was increased to 7,200 tons. The boiler system was still tangled between the water pipe and the fire pipe boiler. The mixing and matching of the 6-inch and 4.7-inch guns on the side string were changed to a unified 150MM rapid-fire gun. Then, then that's all... The armor protection and power output have almost not changed, and the number of compartments has increased a little.

"Be conservative." His Highness the Prince was very unhappy. The two-unit 240MM gun he wanted did not appear, and the 210MM double-unit second-class main gun did not appear. The displacement was huge and the standard difference of 10,000 tons he expected. The combat effectiveness limit of the Munich-class armored cruiser is still similar to that in history. The difference is too big with the combat effectiveness of Liurik 2 or PISA in his mind. "The combat effectiveness of the 7,000-ton armored cruiser is very limited, which is not enough to suppress the armored cruiser that appears in the next 10 years. Moreover, the 2-level main gun represents the development direction of advanced combat effectiveness, why don't you understand?"

"Your idea does represent the future development direction of the navy, and there are indeed many unique features. It is indeed a powerful warship! However, it is definitely not an armored cruiser suitable for Germany today. If you are a prince of the UK, you can suggest that designers design such a warship according to your ideas." Mr. Baron said sincerely.

"What is your purpose in designing a warship?" asked Mr. Baron.

"Of course it overwhelms all the cruisers at present. We have the best armor, and with good design, we can achieve this goal!" His Highness the Prince blurted out! If you can't get a strong enough warship, what's the difference between such a time traveler and a salted fish?!

"Wrong! A big mistake! Your purpose of designing a battleship is to win the bid! As for what the battleship needs to fight against, that is what the men of the Admiralty are meant! We are just designers, there is no need to interfere! Maybe our enemy is just a French cruiser. And if you insist on getting a warship that is enough to match the British first-class cruiser Black, that is a waste! The Admiralty will not spend an extra mark because of your excellent design! Because they don't need it?" said the Baron with a heartbroken feeling. Why can't your boss be in the right position? You are a businessman now, not a prince, and you can't be the master of those guys in the Admiralty!

"I'll go, you are definitely the top leader in sales!" The prince's words were full of admiration. This guy is talented, and technical sales must be strong when grasping both hands!

"So, our designs must not scare those men! The largest cruiser built by the German Empire does not exceed 5,000 tons. You can directly come up with a 10,000 tons plan. What will they think? What will their wallets think? Have you considered the ability of their hearts to bear? Customers are God! We must follow their thoughts." The Baron's earnest teaching sounded in his ears.

Although it was very uncomfortable, the prince had to admit that what the Baron said was very reasonable. If Garibaldi was really built as the same as PISA, could Argentina buy 4 ships at once? The cost of Japan's 10,000-ton armored cruisers was only higher than that of Fuji at the time! The cost of the later Liurik 2 was as high as more than 1.4 million pounds! Even if its own ship was cheaper, it would probably be difficult to get 1 million pounds. This price is difficult for the current German Navy's budget, and in order to ensure that there are always enough warships to be useful in the ocean, the number must be maintained! This can also explain why during the treaty period in history, the total tonnage of the British light cruisers exceeded the tonnage of heavy cruisers.

The German Navy wants to update its cruiser fleet, and the number must be guaranteed, especially when internal news comes out that after the Imperial Prime Minister puts the development of the cruiser fleet at the top of the naval development, the number is definitely large, at least more than 4 ships. Since this is the case, the cost of a single ship must not be too high. His own requirements obviously exceed the ability of the German Navy to bear. According to current estimates, the cost of a warship cannon at around 650,000 pounds should be a suitable price. Garibaldi is almost in this price range. The Baron's idea is very good!

"Then can you also use the double 240MM main gun?" The prince was still very unhappy. Even if the double 210MM second-level main gun representing the development direction of advanced combat effectiveness is removed, you have to install two double turrets on the front and tail of my warship to support the storefront, right?

"Please look at the news provided by the inside line. The Admiralty Department requires new warships to participate in the fleet decisive battle! Do you think the 140 kilogram shells fired by the 240MM artillery pose a threat to the battleships? This gun is really not very good, the initial speed is only 690 meters per second, and the armor-piercing power is worrying! And if the 240KG shells weighing more than 800 meters after being equipped with Krupp's 11-inch naval gun, the shells weighing 240KG will attack at an initial speed of more than 800 meters, it will be enough to threaten most warships." The Baron said.

"We can suffocate our opponents with high explosive bombs and high projection. In the future, as long as we have new armor with a thickness of more than 7 inches, it will be enough to be immune to the attack of almost all main guns. The defense of the new armor can be described as amazing!" The knowledge reserve of the time traveler took effect at this moment.

"I think this experimental report is correct, but there are still many old warships in the enemy fleet, and the 11-inch gun can still play a greater role. And if it is necessary to project, a large number of 150MM guns can already bear the output of high-explosion bombs. Our single-sided firepower is sufficient to have 7 150MM guns!"

"In addition, there are three reasons. First, the Navy believes that the 11-inch gun is more powerful, and they may prefer more powerful than more numerous guns. Second, the dual-mounted turret structure is relatively complex. Should you bear the cost and R&D funds or the Navy? Things involving money will be very troublesome! Third, most of the British Empire cruisers do the same. We call it in line with the international community..." The Baron's words were so reasonable that it made the time travelers speechless.

High-explosive bomb accelerating guns were the key to Japan's victory in Sino-Japanese War in history. Hardened armor can effectively deal with various shells. It was discovered later, and it was later than the Sino-Japanese War. Time travelers knew about these things, but the bureaucrats in the Navy did not know that, so it was useless? The Germans also used battleships equipped with 240 guns that were only developed after absorbing the experience of Sino-Japanese War. They were indeed good for a certain period of time, but with the development of the times, large-caliber artillery still had advantages over small-caliber artillery with higher firing rates. Moreover, considering the weight of the bullet, the 11-inch gun had a good rate of fire after using the turret structure, and the projection may not be small.

"I have embarrassed the time travelers of all generations..." There was no domineering, no younger brother turned his head and bowed, and no brainless aura. The prince completely knelt in front of the powerful Baron... But in order to maintain the last dignity of the time travelers! The prince insisted that the baron change the design of the battleship and install a double-equipped 150MM fake turret behind the 10-inch main gun in the front.

"A very good idea! We can get the output of 7 single-sided cannons with 12 guns!" The Baron's first sentence made the time traveler feel proud. "But if possible, I hope to put the double 150 guns behind. In this way, the smoke of the cannon will not affect the bridge in front. There is no need to worry about the damage to the bridge in front after being shot! That's it!" The Baron didn't pay attention to the time traveler who was in tears and cried, and directly finalized the final firepower plan. As for the power, let's watch the dish and take a look!
