The Rise of the Empire

"In the previous paragraph, a lot of embarrassing things happened between the two sides. Under the frustration and deceit of some people with ulterior motives, we have some misunderstandings. Today, we are here to resolve these misunderstandings so that we can have a better The future.” It is Palokin and Makanov, the former is responsible for diplomatic matters, and the latter is responsible for naval technical matters.

"Shut up! If you waste my precious time with these nonsense, please go out and tell Moscow to change another negotiator! Because I don't see a trace of sincerity in your words, it's all coping! Coping! And cheating!"

"You don’t even know what I care about the most! You don’t even know what I want! And what you want to give me may not be what I want. I can give you what you want. The steel behemoths that ravage the Far East are not impossible. Deal with them because we made them. We have a better plan, but before that, you must find ways to heal the psychological damage I have suffered and prepare enough money for these stronger guys." Rupp Prince Recht said impatiently.

   "The cost of the battleship can be discussed, but first we must see some basic data, only then can we report to the country." Palokin explained.

"You still don’t understand what I’m trying to say. Before ordering a battleship, you must heal the psychological damage I have suffered. Understand? These are two different things, and when we receive your order, your country will definitely ask for it. We no longer provide warships for Japan, and these are losses for me. First make up for this and then talk about other things, I understand very well." The prince shook his head and said.

   "I wipe it, this is asking for money directly! And after the money is given, there is no benefit at all! Can you not be so shameless?" Palokin finally understood the prince's thoughts before him. Give a sum of money for nothing, and then discuss the money for the boat. But even with such harsh conditions, Palokin could not refuse, because the Russian Navy had no other choice.

  The four Asama-class armored cruisers are like a sword of Damocles hanging over the head of the Russian Far East Fleet. The Russians must find something that can deal with these four warships as soon as possible. It is definitely not possible to build them yourself, Americans? The newly built Brooklyn was beaten violently. The Russians had no confidence in American warships.

French? Really think the French are good people? Their loan interest rates are terrifyingly high, and the price when using the loan to buy a French battleship is equally terrible. More importantly, 80% of the products provided by the French can't beat Asama. Terrible low cost performance. So now Russia can only choose German warships! Since it's a seller's market now, what's so vague, just sharpen the knife and kill it!

"I don’t have the right to decide on your request. But in order to save our time and avoid misunderstandings, can I ask if all the costs are added together, we probably need to buy a newly designed warship from your side. How much is it?" Palokin took a deep breath, calmed his nervousness, and then said.

  "1.8 million pounds a ship!" The prince gave an offer simply.

   "Hiss..." The two people on the opposite side took a breath of air, the price far exceeded their expectations, "1.8 million pounds? Why don't you grab it?" Palokin almost shouted.

   "Do you think an armored cruiser Russian, well, now called the Asama-class armored cruiser, is it worth 1.5 million pounds in this war?" The prince asked with a smile.

"Let’s review the history and then assume. If your country did not unsubscribe these two warships, then your country will have two super cruisers in the Sulu Sea battle, which will coincide with the two ships purchased by the Japanese. To offset, the US and Russian fleets will be an overwhelming advantage. In fact, the Japanese spent less than 3 million pounds in additional military expenditures to win this war that determines the national transport!"

"The Americans lost the fleet they had accumulated for more than 5 years. Your country lost 3 armored cruisers and thousands of navies. More importantly, Japan gained the Philippines and won the market and colony needed for development. In the future If your country wants to defeat Japan completely, don’t say 3 million pounds. Is 30 million pounds enough? I don’t think it’s necessary, right?”

"A dozen battleships, a large number of cruisers, and hundreds of thousands of armies have to be deployed to the Far East, thousands of miles away from Europe. The supplies and fortresses needed by the army will cost money, as well as the war expenses once a war begins. Two battleships The ownership changed the fate of the two countries."

"If you agree with what I just said, then you should think that the price I asked for is really not high. This is a battleship that is much stronger than the Asama level! Even considering that your navy is worse than Japan. Some, performance advantages can still allow your navy to completely overwhelm the opponent." The prince said.

"I know what this lieutenant admiral wants to ask! I can introduce this powerful warship now! I have to say that the design of the Asama class is already perfect and meets the needs for a long time in the future. Therefore, if we want to beat this boutique, we must adopt some more advanced technologies! The use of these technologies will cost money, and the initial cost will be very high. Because we have to share the cost of various new equipment, so The cost of these warships will also be higher."

"The so-called "you get what you pay for," your country can of course continue to order the original Russian-class armored cruisers. The Japanese bought 4, so you can buy 5 or even 6~www.readwn.com~ relying on the quantity advantage. It's okay to defeat your opponent, of course. In this way, your expenses may be even greater." The prince said very easily, and the content made the Russians feel terrified.

  A Russian armored cruiser, even if it uses Russia’s own artillery, costs about 1 million pounds, while 6 ships cost 6 million pounds! This price and personnel cost is really beyond the acceptable range of Russians! The Russians did not expect to spend so much money on their armored cruisers! Want quality or quantity? The Russians are in a dilemma!

"Don't think that you can complete this warship by yourself. You can't. Otherwise, you would rather start working on the Russia yourself now and never come to me again. This will be a super warship with a displacement of 18,000 tons! The super high speed above 20 knots! Your country can't achieve these two points alone!" the prince said proudly.
