Chapter 862: Battleship Trade (3rd update)
Qin Tian saw Joseph\'s perfunctory, but didn\'t say anything. Anyway, it is not an easy task for the German Empire to defeat Bu Russia. It doesn\'t hurt to start planning ahead of time. Once any layout is successful, it can play a big role in combating Bu Russia.
After saying some unnutritious words, it seems that it is time for this meeting to end. However, Joseph put forward new requirements at this time.
"Your Majesty, during this military parade, I deeply felt the military power of the German Empire. Especially the German Navy, which dominates the world. If possible, I hope Bu Russia can order a batch of warships from the German Empire !” said Joseph.
This is what he decided after careful consideration. Now the Russian navy is completely blank. Although they inherited some naval officers and warships from the Russian Empire, they are all light warships, which can only play the role of offshore patrol. If you want to go to the far sea, it is impossible.
Before the Russian Empire was destroyed, although some battleships were built. But compared with those battleships of the Germans, the performance gap is too big. Besides, all the battleships of the Russian Empire were taken away by the Germans. Of course, because of the poor performance, it was eventually dismantled into scrap iron.
In addition, after the fall of the Russian Empire, most of those naval experts also fled abroad. At the time of the civil war, the cloth party did not have the energy to care about these. After the establishment of Bu Russia, it was discovered that there was a serious shortage of naval personnel, which made Bu Russia powerless even if it wanted to build a powerful navy. Because, they simply don\'t have the ability to build battleships anymore. No matter how many small and medium warships are built, they cannot make them a naval power.
After the fall of Britain, the strength of the German navy is the world\'s number one. At the same time, Germany\'s shipbuilding strength is also number one in the world. If Bu Russia wants to have a group of powerful battleships, ordering from Germany is undoubtedly the best way. In addition, maybe Bu Russia can learn more from the German battleships, so as to regain its own ability to build capital ships.
"Helping you build battleships? That\'s no problem. Your country can place orders directly with our shipyard. I believe that our shipyard is capable of fulfilling your order! However, is this what your government means? "Qin Tian asked.
Joseph hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty, this is only my idea at present. However, I believe Comrade Ulyanov will definitely agree."
The reason why Joseph is so anxious to strengthen the strength of the Russian Navy is that on the one hand, he has seen the strength of the German Navy, and he is afraid that after a war with Germany in the future, they will be threatened by the German Navy. On the other hand, he also wanted to penetrate his own power into the army. Among the Russian Army, Trotsky had a strong influence, and Joseph could not compete with Trotsky at all. If a powerful navy can be established, Joseph can use it to compete with Trotsky. After all, among the candidates for Ulyanov\'s successor in the future, it was the two of them who competed most fiercely.
Qin Tian nodded and helped Bu Russia build battleships, which did not have much impact on Germany. After all, it is impossible for a powerful navy to rely solely on purchasing warships from abroad. In addition, almost all the seas in Europe are under the control of Germany. Even if Bu Russia has a powerful fleet, Germany has many ways to destroy it. In addition, you can also get a lot of profits from the warship trade. The arms trade was originally the most profitable. What\'s more, Bu Russia\'s strength is not strong in the first place. If it is necessary to maintain a strong army and develop a powerful navy at the same time, this will undoubtedly further consume Bu Russia\'s strength.
In the war between Germany and Russia, it was still the army that ultimately decided the outcome. When the limited resources of Bu Russia are divided by the Navy, the strength of the Bu Russia Army will inevitably be weakened. At that time, it will be relatively easier for the German Army to defeat Bu Russia. Therefore, Qin Tian wished that the Soviet Union would vigorously develop its navy, and it would be best to develop a powerful navy.
In order to be able to defeat Bu Russia in the future war, Qin Tian has exhausted all means.
"Your Excellency Joseph, as long as your country agrees, then there is no problem in helping your country build a batch of battleships!" Qin Tian said.
"Your Majesty, that\'s really great!" Joseph immediately beamed with joy.
"However, Your Majesty the Emperor, I hope that the battleships that Germany helped us build will be the most powerful battleships in the world! In addition, I also hope that the payment for these battleships will be paid for with agricultural products and mineral resources!" After Joseph finished speaking, He took a careful look at Qin Tian, for fear that Qin Tian would refuse.
Qin Tian thought for a while, then nodded. Of course he knew that Boo didn\'t have enough money to pay the bills. It doesn\'t matter what method they use to pay the bill, as long as they can pay, it\'s great. Anyway, Qin Tian\'s purpose is not here.
"Your Excellency Joseph, I assure you that the battleship built by Germany for your country is definitely the most powerful battleship in the world. It has a displacement of more than 40,000 tons and is equipped with a 410mm main gun. Such firepower is definitely the strongest It’s too big. I’ll let the shipyard tell you about the other parameters!” Qin Tian said.
"Thank you so much, Your Majesty!" Joseph\'s face was full of joy. Although he doesn\'t know much about the navy. However, after having this idea, he made up his knowledge in this area, knowing that the main guns equipped by the most powerful battleships of the navies of various countries are undoubtedly 380 mm or 381 mm. The battleship built by Germany for Russia is actually equipped with a 410mm main gun. Well, nature is very powerful.
