The Second Reich: Beginning with the Prince of Prussia

"Your Majesty, the Japanese are here again!"

"Well, got it, what about the Qing court?"

"They haven't acted yet!"

Andrews sighed in his heart: It's really calm!

It seems that if they don't teach them a lesson, they will probably be immersed in their dreams all the time.

"In addition to the Brandenburg-class battleships, other battleships can be sold to the Japanese people!"

......

Fujiwara Komi thought that he would have to grind and soak for a long time on the side of the Second Empire, but he didn't expect the Second Empire to nod and agree so quickly.

"His Majesty the Emperor has agreed to your request, but there is a very large order for the Brandenburg-class battleships.

If you place an order now, I'm afraid it will be five years from now.

I'm afraid that this kind of warship will not be the most advanced in five years, are you sure you still insist on buying this kind of warship?"

Although the emperor said that he would not sell the Brandenburg-class battleships, he did not say how long this time would last.

Therefore, the foreign trade department found other reasons to prevaricate the Japanese people.

However, this reason is not entirely an excuse,26 but a large part of the truth.

The Brandenburg-class battleships were very popular in the world, and the Japanese were well aware of this.

So they didn't doubt this statement, and the other party agreed to sell their warship, which was already burning high incense.

What other luxury could there be?

"So, are there any other warships that you can sell here?"

The Japanese did not know much about the navy of the Second Reich, only about their Brandenburg-class battleships.

As for the rest of the products, they basically didn't know anything.

"Of course, there is!"

Seeing that the Japanese people accepted the reality so quickly, the foreign trade department of the Second Empire also breathed a sigh of relief.

Although I don't know why the emperor didn't want to see the Japanese people, the Japanese people are also a potential big customer after all.

For such a big customer, they naturally don't want to miss it!

Therefore, they enthusiastically recommended a few models to the Japanese people that were slightly smaller than the tonnage of the Brandenburg-class battleships.

But the combat effectiveness of the battleships is also excellent, including battleships of the second class, cruisers and dome armor guards.

What the Japanese people need is a capital warship, and only a strong capital warship can give them a chance of victory in the face of the Celestial Empire Navy.

So they chose the second class battleship recommended by the Second Reich - the Nuremberg-class battleship.

The tonnage of this battleship was 2000 tons smaller than that of the Brandenburg-class battleships, and the full load displacement was about 6500 tons.

They were armed with 4 280 mm naval guns, 6 150 mm deputies.

Among the battleships of the same tonnage class, their firepower is already outstanding!

The battleship has a maximum sailing speed of 19 knots and a cruising range of 4,900 nautical miles.

The maximum speed of 19 knots can almost catch up with a cruiser of two or three thousand tons.

When facing the main battleships, they had a clear speed advantage.

If they can't fight head-on, they can use their speed advantage to break up the engagement.

Because the tonnage is relatively small, plus the caliber of the weapon is a lot smaller.

So compared to the Brandenburg-class battleships, the price of this battleship is much cheaper.

It was built at a cost of £200,000 and sold for £350,000.

The profit is around 70%, and of course, even if the profit is high, this price is still very attractive for buyers.

Therefore, whether it is considered from the price aspect, or from multiple perspectives such as firepower intensity, maneuverability and endurance.

This is a very suitable for a poor and weak country like Wakoku!

After Fujiwara Offshore got the detailed data of this battleship, his eyes immediately straightened.

This battleship was a notch ahead of the similar ships they had seen before in Sunset and Gaul!

And the price is much lower than the other party!

Sure enough, the arms of the Second Reich are a real conscience!

It is no wonder that all countries in the world like to do arms business with the Second Reich, and the Japanese did not understand it before. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

But now they have thoroughly figured it out!

The weapons and equipment of the Second Reich had good performance, good reputation, and cheap prices.

And the after-sales service is good, and the price is not raised indiscriminately when selling.

They treat arms as if they were other ordinary commodities!

How can such a professional attitude not be welcomed by all countries?

Therefore, Fujiwara Offshore immediately decided to buy this battleship!

And place 4 orders first!

He believed that the Empire itself would have known about it.

I will definitely approve of his move!

......

Fujiwara Offshore's expectation was right, and the Japanese mainland learned about this transaction.

No one felt that the deal was a loss, but they were all praising him for saving a lot of money for the Wa Kingdom!

Although at first they wanted to buy Brandenburg-class battleships.

But it's also nice to buy a Nuremberg-class battleship!

After all, the Brandenburg-class battleships were in line after all, and they were now in dire need of ready-made combat power.

The performance of the Nuremberg-class battleships was completely sufficient for them, and their opponents did not have such powerful ships at all. 440

So, as long as this battleship arrives in the Wa Kingdom.

They will be able to immediately widen the gap between them and their opponents in terms of naval strength.

At that time, with the superiority of the navy, they not only did not have to fear the attack launched by the other side from the sea.

You can even change the previous passive situation and try to take the initiative to attack the enemy's coastal areas!

......

The news that the Japanese had purchased new warships from the Second Empire soon reached the ears of the imperial court.

After learning this news, Emperor Qianlong could not sit still.

"The Holy One, the wolf ambition of the Japanese people, and now they have purchased advanced warships from the Hans.

That's a big threat to us!"

"Hmph, the land of the Japanese projectiles, the glow of fireflies, but I want to compete with the Celestial Empire, which is rich in land and has the light of the bright moon.

I really don't even know how to write dead words!"

Emperor Qianlong was very angry, thinking that he had taught the Japanese a lesson before.

can let them be honest and settle down for a few days.

But who would have thought that the Japanese people would be so restless.

He even went to Europe to buy weapons, which is determined to fight them to the end!

"They can buy it, can't we buy it?"

"Let the Minister of War and Shen go to Europa and buy a batch of more advanced warships back!".
