Apart from the diphtheria antitoxin and vaccine matters that made Joey happy.

The second thing that made Joey happy was the contract of the purchase intention of the quick gun signed by Minister Baland and the Qing Dynasty.

At first, when Ambassador Barland sent the intention of Qing to buy a quick gun back to Berlin by telegram, Joey, who saw the content of the telegram, almost turned his back, "The prince and Minister Li of the Qing Dynasty actually asked for Mauser's quick gun and Krupp cannon!"

"What does it mean? I have worked hard for a long time to plan, but the Qing people wanted to buy Mauser and Krupp?!" Joey looked at the telegraph hand and shook his anger.

"Don't they know that the performance of Gruthson's artillery is not inferior to Krupp's artillery?!"

"I actually called Mauser's quick gun. Now Mauser has that quick gun! Could it be that Lee Enfield rifle, which I worked hard to copy, lose to Mauser's 1871 Type?! You know, brother Mauser, now I don't even know where Mauser's 1871/84 Type is!" Joey felt like he was going crazy!

"If the Qing Dynasty wanted the Mauser 1898 style, I can only say that everyone has different visions and different preferences for rifles, so they cannot force it. Now Mauser's ge.98 shadow is not visible, so you dare to dislike my gun! It's so outrageous!" Joey has really started to go wild.

Looking at Joey who was so angry that he was almost rolling around, the crown prince was kind-hearted.

On the one hand, the crown prince himself knew that if Joey provided his old friend Sir Grusen, if he could really make it, he would definitely be a good gun. The Mauser 1871 style, which is now the German 6th Army standard.

On the other hand, the crown prince also wanted to provide this business opportunity to his old friends from the bottom of his heart to reward Sir Lauglusen's long-term support for him.

In the end, I just couldn't bear to watch my baby son was really angry.

So Crown Prince Frederick privately hinted through telegram that Sir Barland had the latest guns currently under development in the German Empire. If possible, I hope Sir Barland suggested to the Qing Dynasty to wait patiently for the new German weapon.

Sir Barland soon understood the hinting in the Crown's telegram, and then suggested to the Qing Dynasty's senior officials, Prince Gong Yixin and Li Hongzhang, hoping that they could wait patiently for several months, when the Germans would provide the Qing Dynasty with a new type of fast gun, and a continuous-bead fast gun produced in accordance with the most advanced Western technology.

Finally, according to Joey's suggestion, he stated that in order to allow the Qing army and senior management to understand the great power and advancedness of this gun more intuitively, the German side will send people to Beijing and Tianjin for on-site demonstrations, and ask the Qing army to actually experience the power of this gun.

This kind of weapon sales method that emphasizes user experience is generally popular in Europe. There has never been a European arms chamber that sent people to East Asia so hard to promote arms.

Previously, the Qing people usually listened to the descriptions of Western compradors. The compradors said that the weapon was the first purchase of the West. The officials of the Qing Dynasty recognized that it was the first purchase of the goods, and they all paid the money first and then delivered the goods. Therefore, it is not uncommon to be deceived during the purchase of weapons.

This method of first demonstrating, listening to customer opinions and then improving, and finally paying in installments made the senior executives of the Qing Dynasty feel respect that they had never encountered, and deeply felt the friendship of the Germans who were willing to export the latest technology to the Qing Dynasty.

Joey's move made the high-ranking officials of the Qing Dynasty, especially Prince Gong Yixin and Li Hongzhang, satisfied and moved, subconsciously slowly separated the Germans from other foreign groups, thus feeling that foreigners were all bad guys and liars, while the Germans were real people who treated the Qing Dynasty sincerely.

In fact, making the Germans independent from foreigners gave the Qing Dynasty a different and good psychological impression. This was just a psychological trick played by Joey.

Of course, in real life, in addition to having strong product strength, talking about feelings and respect, such sales methods often bring you good business luck.

An equal, mutually respectful and affectionate business method has always been the business practice of the Germans.

Finally, after the unremitting efforts of Minister Balander, when Joey saw the telegram from Minister Balander, noting that the purchase date of the Qing Dynasty equipment was changed to the beginning of next year, he was relieved and happy, knowing that he still had the opportunity to grab the order of the Qing Dynasty's quick gun from Mauser.

"Isn't it an option to grab the Qing artillery business from Krupp? After all, there are many types of artillery from Uncle Herman!" Joyyou thought without understanding.

The third thing that made Joey happy was that in the telegram from the Minister Barlander's reply, the Qing people finally agreed to send people to inspect the British shipbuilding industry while also inspecting the German shipbuilding industry to evaluate the next step of purchasing British or German warships.

When he received this news, Crown Prince Frederick was still worried that his own people knew his family affairs. After all, Crown Prince Frederick lived in Britain for many years and knew that the British's level of shipbuilding was far beyond the Germans.

But Joyla came to his engineering teacher, Mr. Patrick Barnaby, and carried out his nearly completed "Caesar Frederick III" former Fearless Battleship model.

When Crown Prince Frederick saw the model in Joey's hand, he couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Jojo, are you going to build such a warship for the Qing people?!"

Joey looked at each other with his engineering teacher and smiled, "It's almost the same, the general design style is similar. As for tonnage, number of artillery and caliber, it's time to see how many gold marks the Chinese are willing to spend."

Looking at the silver-shining warship model in front of him, Crown Prince Frederick could no longer look away. Crown Prince Frederick's good friend General Stotch often invited the Crown Prince to take a vacation at the beach, so Crown Prince Frederick was also a person who loved the navy.

After all, no one who has been subjected to British liberal ideas does not love giant ships and cannons.

This is a super-large silver warship model with a length of 1.3 meters, a width of 3 meters and a height of 76 meters. At the same time, according to the warship standards of the Royal Navy of the German Empire, everything is available from naval flags to well-equipped masts, including main guns, secondary guns, lamps, lifeboats, propellers, stern decorations, etc.

The entire model is placed on a base made of ebony, with clear black and white, and a strong contrast.

This is a masterpiece of silver ship model that is extremely exquisite.

According to Mr. Patrick's suggestion, Joey canceled four 88cm guns with a 35-caliber secondary gun, thus bringing the overall level of the warship to the level of the "Admiral" that the British are now building.

However, it must be admitted that with the same tonnage and the same airspeed, the German Navy's gun caliber was worse than the "Admiral-level". The British had 4 12-inch/3o5mm caliber guns, while Joey, a warship that actually took 19 years to serve, had a gun caliber of 24mm.

The change in the caliber of the gun cannot be completed in one or two days, so Joey can only follow the current level of gunmaking in Krupp.

The armor protection level of this former Fearless Class battleship that arrived nearly 20 years ago, or the armor design of this warship prepared for the Qing Dynasty, Joey is preparing to quietly adopt the advanced view of "a11                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      

However, after learning that Joey was developing new marine armor, based on the new armor protection data provided by Joey, Mr. Patrick strongly opposed Joey's key protection view and demanded that the waterline armor belt continue to be added, turning the armor design of the battleship into a full armor protection that Joey can't laugh and cry.

Mr. Patlek's view is also very clear. There is no armor protection on the bow and stern, and being penetrated means water inflow. Inflow means warships lose buoyancy and tilt, which will inevitably lead to the main gun being unable to fire.

Compared with the key armor protection, the waterline armor belt that is unable to fire after being penetrated during the battle fully reflects its own value. Therefore, Mr. Patrick clearly supports comprehensive protection.

Joey was silent, and finally thought about his past life carefully. The US Navy, which proposed key protection, was forced to limit the post-war treaty and the navy and Congress to fight wits and courage in shipbuilding funds, and the US Navy finally put forward the view of key protection. On the other hand, it was the US Navy's devastating damage control measures, which could support them to focus on combat ships.

"Oh, it seems that the German Navy has a long way to go. Although it can build a large hull, it does not have the support of subsystems such as artillery and power, and does not have the ability to damage the pipes that are so powerful that it is not as powerful as a navy." Joey sighed in his heart that the German Navy was lagging behind.

As for the soon-to-be-popular armor technology, Joey and Mr. Patrick have the same attitude. For battleships/iron armor, it is a stupid and useless technology, but it is just a detour in the history of warship armor.

Those low dome armors are simply incompatible with the personnel of the damage management. The only purpose of the dome armors of those protected boilers is nothing more than to avoid the escape of the warship after being beaten. However, the low dome armor compresses the height of the power compartment and cannot fit into the powerful ship power, so in the end, they still cannot escape after being beaten.

If you really want to show the protection of battleships and iron armored ships, you must do a good job in armor research on horizontal armor and vertical armor belts, as well as invincible and deteriorating damage pipe technology.

As for the armor technology of destroyers and cruisers, Joey relies on the Harvey armor technology that Sir Grusen is driving and the future Krupp armor. With these two powerful tools, there is no need for any stupid dome armor.

"I heard that you are going to invite Master Michel Fardryen to go out for a long trip and let him go to the Qing Dynasty?" Crown Prince Frederick's eyes did not leave the warship. He obviously looked reluctant and asked Joey, "You are going to ask Henry to give the Emperor of Qing Dynasty, including this ship?"

"Hehe, dad, right?" Joey smiled and kept him in a silence.

"Oh, Jojo, what does this mean?" the crown prince raised his head and asked curiously.

"Master Fardryan will not take this warship away. Master Fardryan and the royal servants took away silver plates. They will replicate a new ship on the ship from Hamburg to Shanghai, which is a warship with the characteristics of the Qing Dynasty, and this ship will stay here."

"I want to save it until October and give it to someone I love to be a birthday gift." Joey smiled sly like a little fox.
