Chapter 8: Fight backstage with me? Are you funny?

　　As an emerging power, as an empire that has solved its internal problems and is preparing to expand to the world, it will be a matter of time before the German Empire's navy is built. As a large country, can it not have a powerful navy? Look at the predecessors, from Spain and Portugal at the very beginning to Britain, France and Russia, to the newly emerging Germany and the United States. At this point in time, everyone will decide to build! This is not based on personal will, whether it is William II or Prime Minister Bismarck in power! This process is necessary.

　　 And now Bismarck, the chief executive officer of the Deutsche Group, is also worrying about this. He is ready to make a big construction, but he has no goal yet! To say that playing strategy, playing internal affairs, playing diplomacy, Bismarck is at least the strongest king. But when it comes to the navy, even the German admirals haven't figured it out yet. How can he do it with a sweat? Although the direction is uncertain, he already has a general direction based on the principle of strategically commanding guns. The large-scale fleet construction should not be too large. Germany is now very safe, and the reinsurance treaty still exists. France dare not make trouble with Germany, and Russia does not care. I can't live with myself. Italy and Austria are friends, and Britain and myself are not enemies. The environment is unprecedentedly good. A huge fleet has no effect on Germany except to bring pressure and make others taboo!

　　 And now, the iron-blooded prime minister has no time to think about this strategic issue, because Hesner, State Secretary of the Imperial Navy Office, has come to the prime minister's residence and is reporting to the prime minister. He provided an approximate budget in accordance with the requirements of the Navy Department, and some of the above conditions attracted the attention of the Prime Minister.

　　 "The navy's shipbuilding budget is a bit high. And the armor budget among them seems to be ridiculously high. The imperial armor manufacturer has never quoted such a high price." Bismarck said, pointing to one of the numbers.

"This is a quotation from a new company called the Bavarian Mechanical Design Bureau. Their quotation is more than 50% higher than that of other companies! I don’t know what they think. The Admiralty does not intend to adopt their armor. "Hesner said with some dissatisfaction.

　　 "How about the quality of their armor?" The Prime Minister did not seem to want to dwell on the offer, but directly asked about the performance of the new armor.

　　 "It is stronger than the steel armor of Hallberg's company and other companies, but the strength is limited." Hesner's words were very vague, causing the Prime Minister's brows to frown.

　　 "Then you mean, is it better to purchase armor from an old manufacturer for a new battleship?" Bismarck asked.

　　 "At least their prices are the most reasonable, and the old manufacturers have guaranteed quality after all." Hessner said lightly, as if the Prime Minister did not intend to entangle this issue.

　　 "Have you read the test report of this armor?" Bismarck asked.

　　 "I have seen it!" Hessner said without hesitation.

　　 "That's good, tell me, how much did those armor manufacturers give you and ask you to speak for them?" Bismarck's eyes coldly swept the opponent, causing the latter to shiver involuntarily.

"This is the limit of goodness? According to the description in this report, the performance of this armor is about twice as high as that of ordinary steel-faced iron armor!" The Prime Minister threw another document in front of him, his muffled words full of anger. ! "You are going to deceive the empire for your own personal gain! How brave you are!"

　　 "Your Excellency Prime Minister, listen to my explanation..." Hessner's face was pale, and he couldn't even say anything!

"Wait until the court to explain it! His Majesty the Emperor already knows about this. He is very disappointed and very angry with some people in the Imperial Admiralty. Some capitalists have stretched their hands too far! You are the best now. Go back and think about your own problems. Then confess your complicity in exchange for the emperor's mercy." Bismarck didn't want to listen to the other party's explanation, and left the living room after speaking the last sentence.

　　 "God, who the **** could let His Majesty the Emperor personally intervene in this matter? Wasn't this something that could be done within the navy?" Hesner still didn't understand who he was offending! And the story of this incident has to be talked about a week ago.

　　 To be honest, the future leader of Bavaria, Ludwig III, is still in a good mood recently. The baby son made out is not armor at all, but a chicken that can lay golden eggs! According to the information provided by the attendant, he has a basic understanding of the world armor market, especially the profit in the German armor market, so to speak, relying on the excellent performance of the new armor. The factory opened by the Bavarian royal family can completely crush other competitors, and it is not difficult to monopolize German shipbuilding and armor! No one can live with money, so Prince Ruprecht is in a very good mood!

　　 But when the letter sent by the plenipotentiary of Bavaria in Berlin mentioned that the German Navy did not intend to purchase the new products of the Bavarian Mechanical Design Bureau solely funded by the Bavarian royal family, the prince felt very confused, then dissatisfied, and finally angry! Laozi's things are so good, how dare you not? Bullying Laozi is a foreigner? In terms of performance and cost performance, the new hardened armor directly throws the old armor out a few blocks! You don't want it? This is absolutely abnormal!

　　What should the general manufacturer do if this happens? Naturally, it is to find a relationship and find ways to find a way to find the Admiralty. By the way, stuff a red envelope or something! But the Bavarian Heavy Industries Group will not do this, and the prince will not do it. People from the Admiralty know me, I don't know him! What are those guys? Even if you talk about things, you should talk to someone at the Kaiser or Prime Minister level directly.

　　 After the prince’s grandfather knew about this, the old regent was also very angry, thinking that he had been insulted by those lowly fellows in the Admiralty! Immediately instruct the Bavarian plenipotentiary in Berlin to ask the Kaiser. As the boss of the second largest state in the empire involved in the lawsuit, the German emperor naturally needed to intervene in this matter. So His Majesty the Emperor knew.

　　 Coincidentally, the nephew of Prime Minister Bismarck happened to go to Bavaria as the representative of Prussia. (This is true, but the time may not match up in history.) When visiting the Bavarian royal family, the angry prince asked in a very harsh tone: "Why are the Bavarian royal companies being treated unfairly in Prussia? What is the dignity of the royal family? Is it that the imperial government is corrupt enough to buy everything with money? What did Bismarck do?"

　　 These remarks are so heavy that they scared the fledgling Mr. Earl. Where does this matter start? Your uncle did not offend this noble majesty, right? Is something wrong? Then Ruprecht walked away, leaving the palace chief Count Schelling and the other party to tell all this in detail. Then that evening, the new representative immediately reported the incident to his uncle. UU reading www.uukānshu.com So, what Hulse thought was not a big deal was stabbed to the top of the empire by the angry Bavarian royal family!

　　 Now not only is Hesner thinking about what to do in the future, the prime minister and the emperor of the empire are also thinking about what to do! This is indeed what the imperial government did. Well, it was the criminal behavior of a small man in the navy department of the imperial government that stained the image of the imperial government. All relevant personnel must be dealt with, these are certain, and then how to repair the relationship with the Bavarian royal family must be considered.

　　Everyone is a royal family, and they will use their positions to make some money. This is a tacit thing. The German royal family has shares in major shipyards and Krupp factories. Therefore, buying Krupp guns for both the army and the navy is tantamount to giving money to the royal family. I can't say that you can do it with the Hohenzollern family, but can't the Wittelsbach family do it? Moreover, the stuff produced by other people's factories is really good. It is not too much to say that it will contribute to the construction of the Imperial Navy. If it is exported, it will also contribute to the imperial finances!

　　 So with a swipe of his majesty, the Imperial Admiralty directly asked the Imperial Navy’s future new warships to purchase the new hardened armor of the Bavarian Machinery Design Bureau solely funded by the Bavarian royal family. And the Wittelsbach family who achieved their goals also accepted it as soon as they saw it. They didn't stabbed the matter out. Everyone considers hello and I am good, so it passed!

　　 And our prince Ruprecht never thought that his first order would be so tortuous! But after learning about this, he had to sigh with emotion, his family is really awesome, being an official business, no, it feels good to be a royal business! When it is reasonable, it is invincible, that is for sure!
