The Second Reich: Beginning with the Prince of Prussia

Second Reich, Wilhelmshaven.

Wilhelmshaven, which is usually deserted, has been in a state of crowds for several months.

The seaside where you can see the sea is almost crowded with people, and you can't even see a superfluous place.

Two short people, with a small handful of beards under their noses, and obvious oriental faces, tried their best, and finally squeezed through the gap to the front by virtue of their height weakness.

"Endo-kun, look, that's the Second Empire's newest Brandenburg-class battleship!"

"Saito-kun, I saw it!"

The two of them lay on the protective fence of the coast, and their eyes were completely attracted by the beautiful white battleship in the distance!

"What a beautiful warship, she's so beautiful!"

"Yes, if our Great Wa Kingdom can also get this kind of warship, then there is no need to fear the threat of the enemy!"

"Yes, that's right, that's what we're here to do in the Second Empire!"

"In any case, we must negotiate this deal and buy this kind of battleship!"

............

On the other side, a representative from the North American Eagle Sauce is using a telescope to observe the battleship on a trial voyage in the distance. 26

Eagle Sauce, which has just set off a ship-building frenzy, has launched a challenge to the supremacy of the sea on which the sun never sets.

In order to improve the strength of their navy in the shortest possible time, they urgently need to get more capital battleships.

In this case, in addition to building in a shipyard on their own, they don't mind sourcing from other countries.

As long as the ships provided by the other side can meet their requirements and the price is right, then they will really pay for it.

By this standard, this battleship of the Second Reich simply met their requirements perfectly!

The performance is strong and the price is low, as long as the Second Empire is willing to sell, with the financial resources of the Eagle Sauce people, they buy as much as they want!

Moreover, with Eagle Sauce's alliance with the Second Empire, if they really want to buy it, the Second Empire will definitely give priority to them!

......

Next to the Eagle Sauce Man, envious saliva flowed from the corner of the mouth of the representative from Yi Duli.

It would be great if such a warship could join the Italian navy!

If there were a dozen of these ships, they would not have to be afraid of the Mediterranean fleet, where the sun never sets.

Even, even if the main fleet of the sun never sets, they are qualified to wrestle with each other!

It's just that I don't know if with their current relationship with the Second Empire, will the Second Empire sell them this advanced warship?

In addition to the Italians, the two nations of the Iberian Peninsula, Spain and Grape, also took a keen interest in the ship.

They were the pioneers of the Age of Discovery, and they once dominated the seas.

But as their national power weakened, they were gradually eliminated in the competition of the Great Voyage.

But even so, they still have a lot of colonies overseas.

In order to maintain these colonies, they needed to maintain a strong navy.

It's just that, judging from the tight budgets of these two countries, they can't afford to buy a battleship that is too expensive for the main battleship, and this battleship of the Second Empire is currently the most in line with their requirements.

However, their relationship with the Second Empire was more prosaic and almost unsociable.

In this case, even if the Second Reich agreed to sell such ships, it was unknown when and when it would be their turn.

There are many small countries with the same idea, and they are all coming for this kind of warship!

There are very few countries in this world that can build and afford 10,000-ton warships. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

But for countries that have an urgent need for powerful warships, there are no less at all.

With the exception of top powers such as the Sunset, Eagle Sauce, and the Second Empire, the world is more of a country with a lower average national power, lacking the ability to build large warships, but desperately needing a large warship to protect their coastal defenses.

For such a country, they simply cannot afford a million-pound 10,000-ton battleship.

And the performance of the second-class battleship with cheap construction is too weak, and it will not work too well when you buy it back.

In this context, this warship of the Second Empire, which is inexpensive and extremely powerful in combat, is undoubtedly the most in line with their requirements!

It is precisely because of this that there are so many onlookers at the scene who watched the launch of the new warship of the empire.

This battleship was named Brandenburg and the battleship by Andrews, and in terms of tonnage, it should belong to the category of second-class battleships.

But in terms of its combat effectiveness, it is the main battleship!

Andrews originally planned to directly build a fifteen-thousand-ton former dreadnought, but warships of this tonnage were too expensive for ordinary countries to afford, so the sales prospects were not good.

And after doing market research, he found that the sales prospects of the second class battleships, which were cheaper, were better. []

Of course, a normal second-class battleship is not very good.

The second-class battleship is too far behind the main battleship in terms of performance, and there are many countries that can build second-class battleships, and it is difficult to compete with other countries if there are no outstanding advantages.

Therefore, Andrews produced the Pocket Class Former Dreadnought that was smaller in tonnage than the capital battleship, but comparable in performance to the main battleship in all aspects, 883 This is the Brandenburg-class battleship currently on sea trials.

By the standards of this era, this ship is indeed a perfect choice.

The performance indicators in all aspects are comparable to the main battleships, not to mention, but the cost is half cheaper.

Such a good thing, not to mention that all countries in the world want it, even the Second Reich's own navy is tempted.

Considering that the price of this battleship is relatively cheap, the cost performance is very good, and if you buy it yourself, it can also increase the confidence of other countries to buy it.

After all, if you don't buy such an excellent battleship yourself, then other countries will definitely wonder if this battleship has any hidden performance concerns.

In addition, the navy also needs warships for daily combat training, and the future expansion of the navy will require the training of a large number of talents in advance, and these people must have warships for them to train on board.

So Andrews purchased five ships for them, which could not only meet the needs of the military, but also lay the foundation for future expansion in advance.

Those buyers who came from all over the world to buy them, seeing that the Germans themselves had given priority to the purchase of a number of such warships, the last scruples in their hearts were completely dispelled.

So, almost everyone is waiting for the results of the trial of this battleship, and as soon as the results come out and prove that there are no problems with the quality, then they will immediately start placing orders for this battleship with the Second Reich!
