Chapter 94 German Arms Company

"Congratulations, Your Royal Highness. This time your design is a great success." On the train back to Berlin, Marshal Count Tirpitz came to Qin Tian's special compartment.

"Your Excellency, Marshal, thank you. This is all for everyone's support. It is my honor to be able to design a powerful warship for the navy!" Qin Tian is not proud of his achievements, but is still very humble. He has always believed that humility is an essential quality of success. If you can't even do this, then success is far away.

"His Royal Highness, the 'Moltke-class' battlecruisers and the 'Kaiser-class' battleships are both excellent warships. Once the German Navy has these warships, our strength will surpass that of the British Navy. It will be even more important to defeat them in the future." I'm sure." Marshal Earl Tirpitz said confidently.

At least, from the current point of view, the British have not yet started building warships with 343mm main guns. The German Navy already has two tiers of ten battleships equipped with 343mm main guns under construction or about to start construction. There are also three battlecruisers armed with 343mm main guns. These are important capitals for the German Navy to defeat the British Navy in the future!

"No, Your Excellency the Marshal is too optimistic. Although, we seem to have surpassed the British Navy now. However, we must not take it lightly. As far as I know, the British have completed or are about to complete a large-scale naval vessel equipped with a 343mm naval gun. The battleship has been designed. It's just that there is a bottleneck in the development of their naval guns. Once the naval guns are successfully developed, they can immediately start building large battleships. They even start construction at a speed faster than ours. After all, the British have a lot of experience in shipbuilding , but no one can match." Qin Tian had a serious expression on his face.

The smile on Count Tirpitz's face also subsided. He knew that he had become a little carried away because a large number of battleships were about to start construction. The British have been the world hegemon for hundreds of years, and they have not encountered challenges during this period. However, in the end the British survived and became the final victors. From this, we can see the background and determination of the British in maintaining sea power.

Qin Tian also sighed, although with his support, the German navy began to develop rapidly. However, it is not so difficult to overthrow the British Empire! It's just that, now he is already on the verge of riding a tiger. As the crown prince of the German Empire, he has no other choice but to go all the way to the dark.

As a person who was reborn, Qin Tian naturally knew how powerful the british soldiers were when they felt the crisis and began to go crazy.

In another time and space that Qin Tian is familiar with, the British began to build ships frantically in 1909. In 1909, four "Orion-class" battleships equipped with five double-mounted 343mm main guns were started. In 1911, four ships were equipped with five. The 'King George V-class' battleship with twin 343 mm main guns, started construction in 1912 to build four 'Iron Duke class' battleships equipped with five twin 343 mm main guns. Even in 1912 and 1913, four "Queen Elizabeth-class" battleships and "Revenge-class" battleships with twin 381mm main guns were started successively. There are five ships in each of these two classes of warships. It can be seen how terrifying it would be once the British shipbuilding capabilities exploded.

"His Royal Highness, we really cannot underestimate the British. There is only one chance to challenge the British's maritime supremacy. If you miss it, it will be impossible to challenge the British again!" Marshal Earl Tirpitz said. Said with a serious face. He knows very well what it means to Germany if it fails this time. It is estimated that the whole of Germany will cease to exist because of this!

Qin Tian nodded: "Indeed, this is our only chance. We must seize this opportunity. Otherwise, we will regret it too late."

"By the way, Your Excellency the Marshal. As far as I know, the British have already started the development of a larger caliber 381mm main gun. And we have not yet started the main gun of this caliber. Therefore, We also have to speed up our pace. Once the British capital ships are equipped with 381mm main guns, it will be even more difficult for us to deal with them." Qin Tian said.

"Well, we need to provide more support to Krupp. However, it's hard to imagine that the caliber of the battleship's main guns will increase so much in such a short period of time. This was almost unimaginable before. matter," said Marshal Count Tirpitz.

Qin Tian smiled and didn't say much. Will he tell Marshal Earl Tirpitz that the crazy little Japan will equip battleships with 460mm main guns in the future?

"His Royal Highness, now your Deutsche Industries Group has covered many fields. I am personally curious, what field will you set foot in next?" Marshal Count Tirpitz asked with a smile.

In the business field of Germany and even the whole world, Qin Tian is undoubtedly a miracle. The company he founded has been integrated into the Deutsche Industries Group, with a young man named Carl von Jonareit as the president of the group. The Deutsche Welfare Lottery Company under the Deutsche Industries Group is known as the most profitable company. There are also Deutsche Shipyard, Deutsche Energy Company, Deutsche Engine Manufacturing Company, and Deutsche Motor Vehicle Manufacturing Company.

"I have asked Karl to register the German Arms Company. And, the construction of the factory building has begun, and workers and related engineers have been recruited." Qin Tian said with a smile.

"Deutsche Arms Company? Is His Highness the Crown Prince planning to design the arms field?" Marshal Earl Tirpitz asked.

Qin Tian nodded: "It's not a complete design, it's mainly for the manufacture of individual weapons. I noticed that the German Army's individual weapons and squad firepower are relatively weak. I hope to make up for this defect for the Imperial Army."

"Your Highness, your original intention may be good. However, I am afraid that this will touch the cake of some people. The equipment of the Imperial Army has always been in charge of Mauser, Rheinmetall and Krupp. Your Highness hastily set foot in this The domain is undoubtedly going to share their cake!" Marshal Earl Tirpitz sighed.

"Who made them fail to make the German Army's combat effectiveness stronger? In order to win future wars, I must do so." Qin Tian shook his head, a flash of determination flashed in his eyes.

"Your Highness, you may be able to seek some advice from Your Majesty," Marshal Earl Tirpitz suggested.

Qin Tian nodded and understood what he meant.
