Chapter 83
Admiral Redl rushed back to Kiel Port from Bolin overnight and continued to attend the meeting with the furry bear alliance naval delegation.
In this day's meeting, both parties seemed to be no longer ready to talk in circles, but to get straight to the point.
"Your Excellency, we admit that the performance of your country's H-class battleships and P-class battleships is very good. Especially the H battleship, it is definitely a world-class battleship. Therefore, we hope that you can sell us the design drawings of this battleship. And sell us naval guns, power systems, armor steel, fire control systems, etc."Orlov said.
Admiral Redel couldn't help but frowned.
These are very critical technologies. If they are sold to Lao Maozi, then Lao Maozi will be able to assemble a powerful battleship by himself.
Even, Lao Maozi Maozi can also reverse engineer these devices.
By then, the Third Reich will have greatly improved Lao Maozi's technology in these aspects.
And this is obviously not in the interests of the Third Reich.
"Your Excellency, the design drawings are related to the military secrets of the empire. The naval guns, power systems, armor steel and fire control systems are also the military secrets of the empire. The empire is not for sale."Admiral Redl said.
Orlov sighed in his heart, it is really impossible for the Third Reich to sell these technologies and equipment easily.
"Sir, we can satisfy your country on price. Orlov said.
But Admiral Redl still shook his head.
"Your Excellency, if this is the case, then what is the purpose of your country inviting us to visit the Third Reich? Orlov asked rhetorically
"Your Majesty the General. The Third Reich can help your country build these battleships. To put it bluntly, with your country’s industrial strength, you simply cannot build these warships. Even if we provide your country with design drawings and subsystems of each part. It is also very difficult for your country to assemble it. In fact, errors are very likely to occur, which will affect the performance of the battleship. The Third Reich had the best technology and the best workers in the world. Let us build for your country, undoubtedly the best."Admiral Raeder said
"Sir, we want to master the technology ourselves and don't want to be stuck in the future. If this is the case, then we would rather not have these battleships. Orlov said.
Admiral Redel thought for a while, and then said:"Your Excellency, let's do this." Our country is building some battleships for your country. After it is completed, we will authorize the construction to your country. Sell relevant design drawings and subsystems of each part to your country. In this case, your country will be able to gradually master these technologies in the future."
Orlov said that the Third Reich wanted to make a lot of money by helping to build the Bear Alliance.
Although he was very reluctant to be stabbed like this by the Third Reich, he knew that there was no way around it..If the Third Reich is not allowed to transfer enough profits, the Third Reich may sell those advanced technologies and equipment to the Furry Bear Alliance.
"Well, Your Excellency, we can think about it. However, how much is your country prepared to charge for H battleships and P-class battleships? Orlov asked.
Admiral Redl smiled. He had known for a long time that Maozi would compromise.
After all, the Third Reich was the only one with whom Lao Maozi could cooperate.
Other countries in the Western world were boycotting Lao Maozi. , all trying to contain them
"H battleship, US$10 to 20 million apiece. P-class battleship, $80 million a piece!"Admiral Raeder said
"What? Sir, is this price too high? Your country is simply robbing people! Orlov exclaimed.
This price is even higher than the price expected by the Furry Bear Alliance.
"General, the price is not high. On the contrary, it is already very conscientious. As far as I know, when your country made a construction request to the Eagle Country, it offered a price of US$100 million for one vessel. And our H battleship is much more powerful than the battleship your country requested to build at that time, right? Therefore, the price of US$120 million is not high. The power system of P-class battleships and H-class battleships are also the same. Only the caliber of the main gun is smaller and the defensive power is relatively weaker. The price of US$80 million is also a very good deal."Admiral Redl said.
Orlov couldn't help but fell silent. If calculated in this way, the price is indeed not high.
But he knew that the profits of the Third Reich must be very high.
"Your Excellency, our country is not rich in financial resources. The navy, in particular, does not have much funding at all. The price is too high and we simply cannot build many warships. Orlov said
"Don't worry, General, your country doesn't have to pay precious foreign exchange. We allow your country to pay with iron ore, non-ferrous metals, oil and food. Your country is vast and rich in resources. For your country, these resources are not a problem at all. You only need to increase the amount of mining to easily meet your needs."Admiral Redl said.
Orlov nodded. If you don't need precious foreign exchange and just use resources to pay, that would be fine. The
Wooly Bear Alliance is very rich in resources. If you use resources in exchange for these warships and technology , that is undoubtedly very good. It will not have much impact on the economy of the Woolly Bear Alliance.
As Admiral Redl said, as long as the various factories and mines increase production, enough resources can be mined in exchange for These warships, technology and equipment
"Sir, does your country have any other requirements? Orlov asked
"The empire's shipyards need orders for four H-class battleships and eight H-class battleships. In addition to these 12 ships, the rest of the warships can be authorized to be built by your country. The empire will provide your country with a complete set of design drawings and production drawings. The empire can also be sold to your country if your country needs to purchase some of these technologies and equipment. There is absolutely no other store with such conditions in the world."Admiral Raeder continued.
Orlov listened to Raedel.After Jiang's words, his heart seemed to be bleeding.
Four H battleships and one P-class battleship, based on the price offered by the Third Reich, were a full US$1.12 billion.
Even if you pay with resources, you still have to pay a lot of resources.
But he knew that the current Furry Bear Alliance simply had no bargaining capital.
Even though they are technologically inferior to humans?
"Well, Your Excellency, I need to report back home."Orlov said.
He can't make the decision on such a major matter. The decision has to be made by the great elder Joseph._
