Chapter 26 Hang out with us!

In a sense, the time traveler is as strong as a certain baron's obsession. Everyone wants to build better warships and make more money! As for reversing the historical trend, beating the British Navy, this will take at least 10 years later, and then let's talk about it after all the subsystems needed by the dreadnoughts come out!

When the Baron is quite ambitious, and he has a lot of cards in his hands and is very operational, the time traveler naturally strongly supports him! So, Mr. Baron became the plenipotent representative of His Highness the Prince! He participated in the negotiations with Brom-Foss Shipyard!

"That. After all, it's a partner, so there's some room for language." Before entrusting Baron Rio Kuniberty to leave, the time traveler specifically reminded. The other party ummed twice and nodded. As for how much he heard, only he himself knew!

Two days later, in Brom's villa, a baron brought an earl's younger brother to the selected negotiating factory! Professional matters must be left to professionals! The earl from Bavaria behind is just an assistant and a means to shock the other party! After all, the real title of Germany's real power is still very important!

"Two respected gentlemen, you should have seen our offer, and I believe that you will definitely not know how many times you discussed in the past few days! And you may have regarded us as devils and beasts behind you! And today, the reason why you can sit here is that I think you should have a certain judgment on the situation, which is very good! But it is far from enough!" The Baron had long thrown the time traveler's advice to Java Island! He is essentially a businessman! Since he has the advantage, it would be too sorry for him to stop pressing him! After hearing his words, the two gentlemen on the opposite side suddenly turned gloomy!

"So now, we can discuss the plans of the Bavarian royal family! First of all, the Bavarian royal family is not very interested in the control of a shipyard far away from its own local area. We just look at your management level and the efficiency of your shipyard! That's all! Even if we obtain controlling rights, we have no interest in the management issues of the company, provided that your efficiency can reach the level of satisfaction we are!" said the commissioned Baron Rio!

"Is this guarantee possible to be written into the cooperation document?" Foss's eyes lit up and he immediately said.

"Of course it's possible! But the premise is that your shipbuilding speed can meet this standard! It will increase year by year from now on." Earl Rio commissioned to send a document to Fox.

"The first Munich-class armored cruiser will be completed within 30 months? And the second one will be completed within 25 months? Although this requirement is a little higher, what I care more about is that in the first construction plan, can you help us get two orders?" Fox asked.

"The first batch of construction plans is planned for one ship, and the second batch of construction plans is planned for another ship! As long as you can complete it within 30 months, everything will be fine! And my friend, we must look at it longer-term! How big is the domestic warship market in Germany? The overseas market is very broad, it depends on whether you have the ability to get it!" The baron said confidently!

The first batch of four warships gave Prince William 30% of the design profits! If he could not even get the orders for two armored cruisers, he would be too humble! The premise of the benefits given by the time traveler was not just the navy to win the bid! You should know that in history, Krupp had obtained orders for 10 battleships from the German Navy after acquiring the German Navy shipyard! As a shareholder, the German royal family must have made great contributions!

"Your shipyard must be expanded! Because within three years, we may start construction of three Munich-class armored cruisers at the same time! In addition to the German Navy, I can at least bring you another order!" Baron Vittorio dropped another bombshell, which made the other party confused!

Although Baron Vittorio verbally expressed his extreme dissatisfaction with "state capitalism", that was because he was an outsider! When he was the agent of the country, he immediately colluded with the time traveler and used all kinds of "government power" and "monopoly advantage" to attack his potential opponents! When the time traveler asked where the "inspiring" and "sense of justice" had gone before the Baron, the baron immediately stated that the need for survival is always the first priority, and the honor of morality and justice can only be enjoyed by the winner!

"There is absolutely no problem in the price and speed of armor supply. Under the conditions of capacity allowance, you will be the first manufacturer to obtain new hardened armor. In order to facilitate you to obtain orders, we will provide some convenience in the price and payment methods of steel plates. Even if you encounter financial difficulties, the finance of the kingdom will be your greatest backing. Therefore, you don't have to worry about the break of the capital chain. The only thing you need to consider is how to make our shipyard more efficient!" said the Baron.

This is also a monopoly, which monopolizes the supply and sales of some parts! The Bavarian royal family will be responsible for managing all things outside the shipyard, such as introducing business, coordinating relationships with the government, armor supply, etc. However, they do not easily interfere in the specific production process and internal personnel arrangements.

"If this is true, I agree with your opinion in principle, but I have some questions, that is, why do you emphasize ownership of aborted warships? Logically speaking, the warships that these customers abandoned in the middle should be the most troublesome thing for the shipyard. Whether it is looking for a new buyer or demolishing them, it is a loss." Brom said with some confusion. He was so meticulous that he never missed any doubts on the contract!

"This, it has not harmed your interests anyway. As for the specific reason? I can't explain it clearly..." The Baron wiped his cold sweat rarely. He really didn't know what his boss was thinking.

The time traveler naturally would not tell how the two Agile-class second-class battleships entered the British naval sequence in history, but would only tell the two Garibal armored cruisers how they entered the Japanese fleet. Warships are never a simple commodity, and they are even a powerful weapon at critical moments! Just imagine, if two Garibal class cruisers joined the Essen fleet, then the Japanese would be beaten in the Ulsan Navy! And if the Japanese lost the battle in Ulsan, what would the direction of the entire Russo-Japanese War? It makes people imagine endlessly! This kind of thing that controls a war or even a country's fate is what the time traveler likes to do the most!

"We don't seem to have a better choice. Don't we?" Brom said, looking at his partner.

"We agree in principle, but we still reserve your opinion on you until we see the order for the first battleship." Foss was still a little unwilling to give up, but his conditions were not difficult for the Baron.

"Within three days! This order will come to me." We will definitely win!
