Chapter 11: Deep cooperation
"The other party's professional knowledge is excellent, buddy, although you are quoting the active battleships and planned battleships of Britain, France and Russia, but you always feel that the strength is not enough. A bunch of professional terms and calculations are directly made by others. We don't want it. What to do?" In a recent letter from the Black Hawk Lord, Ruprecht saw the other's anxiety and his own disadvantage!
The so-called interlacing is like a mountain. The prince is really not a shipbuilder. It's okay to chat with people at the same hobbyist level on the Internet, but it won't work if you are really serious. You must find a professional person! But it's not easy to find professionals. As far as Germany's shipbuilding level is, it was impossible to mention before Caesar came out. Even if you find a professional to open your head, but in your bones these gunmen still agree with the other party's point of view, this is still not strong! It's a trivial matter to lose a mouthful, and it's impossible to delay your promotion!
"Well, send a telegram to Baron Vittorio Cuniberti immediately and ask him to write an article according to our requirements! The remuneration is paid separately, not included in the annual salary!" Ruprecht called his own The younger brother began to arrange the work, things have been fermented almost, it is time to make a killer trick, by the way, let's also see if this comrade-in-arms is worth the money!
Vittorio Cuniberti! A must-chosen person for shipbuilding in modern times! Born in a small country, a cruiser sold in two figures! Serve in the navies of 4 countries! So the record of NB asks you whether you accept it? Thanks to the blessings of the Internet in the past life, but also to a famous online navy enthusiast who founded the Garibaldi Church. The traverser knows that there is still a navy designer who is not very famous now in the world today! There is such a talent, and he met him when he hadn't made a fortune, so naturally he had to be dug out!
And what is even more shocking is that this buddy proposed the idea of an all-heavy gun battleship in 1900! The way of thinking is so advanced and the brains are so big that people have to admire it! (This is from a magazine. Interested book lovers can search for "Steeds in the Mediterranean—The Dreadnoughts of the Italian Navy" on Baidu.) What's more terrifying is that this buddy, after the troubles of the pre-fearless era, When other contemporary designers gradually lost their talents, and the front wave was pushed to death on the beach by the back wave, the great Italian designer became more and more courageous and personally worked on the design of Italy's first-class dreadnought battleship Dante class!
Triple turret, 4 turret central axis layout! The maximum firepower on the sideboard is 12 12-inch heavy guns! The design speed is nearly 23 knots, and the maximum sea trial even ran out 24 knots! In terms of compulsion, which battleship started in 1909 could surpass it? ? Regarding the layout and design of artillery, almost all the German warships must be willing to bow down! Of course, limited by funds and tonnage, Dante's combat effectiveness can only be described in general. But after all, the design concept is still very good.
"Give me 1 million pounds! I will make you an earl with a fief!" When the prince's younger brother brought a letter from Wang Changsun to the Italian designer who is still unknown at present, this name The future designer and God of Wealth of the Italian Navy seemed to be stunned by a huge cake! The eldest son of one of the most powerful nobles in Europe and one of the most powerful royal families employs himself with an annual salary of 60,000 marks per year as a guaranteed minimum salary. You know, the annual salary of the German Prime Minister from the government is only 52,000 marks! (Of course, they have other income.) In an instant, the fledgling Italian designer really couldn't find an excuse to refuse!
When the representative of the Bavarian royal family photographed a cheque worth 20,000 marks and the baron’s title directly on his desktop, the somewhat congested designer immediately said that he would deliver everything in Italy in the shortest time. Go to Germany! It took only one month before and after, with huge money and background power. His Royal Highness got his wish!
Face the employees with the most potential and the employees with the most money. After several contacts, the prince found that the money was absolutely not spent! This Italian designer is not only very proficient in shipbuilding, but also very good at marketing, interpersonal relations, etc.! An Italian not only quickly became enthusiastic with German colleagues recruited from other places, but also gave Peng Yi an eye-opener with some sales suggestions! Shouting that the money was not spent in vain! A lot of his follow-up hype is based on his suggestions! And now, the fire is here, and it's time for a big killer!
"It's time for those stubborn guys to accept the baptism of advanced design ideas!" In the first sentence of Ruprecht's letter to the Lord of the Black Hawks, this is how it was written! "We will not only defeat our opponents in the newspapers, 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, and it depends on whether you can handle the German Admiralty. After the event is over, the profit of our design can be three or seven! I am seven and you three!"
Be generous with allies! How could the Krupp family be the largest family in Germany at the time of Wilhelm II, and the liquidity in the bank was as large as 500 million marks? Because the Kaiser is his partner! Why was the German shipyard able to rise up in the 1890s? The order for battleships is only one aspect, and the other aspect is that the German government requires major domestic shipping companies to support the country's shipbuilding industry! Someone is easy to handle! You must know that Krupp had hardly set foot in other naval businesses except artillery before 1890.
In the exchanges with each other, both parties were weighing each other's weight. If at the beginning, the German crown prince participated with the idea of play, but as things got worse and bigger, the money was spent more and more. His Royal Highness began to doubt the identity and motives of the other party! Tens of thousands of marks turned into black and white words in the newspaper without blinking. How can it be possible to say that there is no attempt 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 still has an appetite for him so far, so some things should be discussed, such as what to do next and how to divide the profit!
And this time, Ruprecht directly gave the opponent an answer! You take care of things in Berlin and leave the rest to me. I will give you 30% of the net profit! Promise or not, just one sentence, you can figure it out! As for each other’s identities, it’s better not to talk about it. After all, it’s not direct communication, and some things are still inconvenient. Up to now, the two parties are still partners, but they are still various transits. This is not a question of caution, after all, the prince thought he had done nothing illegal. It's just that all preparations are being done secretly now. It is best not to alarm those potential competitors. It's best to do less of this kind of thing with power.
"Well, not bad, I really want to see this partner now." Prince William nodded in satisfaction after receiving the letter. He had no idea that what he had done for a while would develop to the present level, UU Reading www.uukanshu. com has become a business. The first business I did, I am excited just thinking about it! It is still possible to divide the proportion. The other party is not a stingy person, after all, they provided design and personnel. And I just walked a doorway.
There is such a proverb in Europe. Kings always have the most secrets. Whether it is Prince William or Ruprecht, they try to make their actions more concealed. But none of these moves escaped the eyes of Kaiser Friedrich III. He knew this from the beginning. And as the speculation gets hotter, his attention continues to rise. He knew the content of the communication between the two parties, after all, it was in the court of others! I don't know but hell!
He even knows the approximate identity of the other party. The reason is very simple. In a letter, his attendant found that the handwriting on the letter completely overlapped the handwriting of a letter sent by the Bavarian royal family. In other words, the collaborator of the crown prince is the Bavarian royal family! "They are very active recently." Frederick said with a smile after listening to his subordinates' report.
"Then your majesty, do you have any instructions?" the palace chief bent over and asked.
"Let's go with the flow, if their design is really good, they can be selected. If the prince has any needs, as long as it does not violate the principle, he can provide some help." Frederick replied easily. In fact, he is happy to see it happen, and his crown prince has done a business. And if the opponent’s design is really as good as their armor, it will also be very beneficial to the German Navy. Politically speaking, if Prussia and Bavaria can establish a good relationship, there will be fewer contradictions within Germany in the future. Personal relationship? Sometimes it needs to be developed.
