In order to get the order from the Russians, German designers have designed more than 20 warships of all sizes based on the new type of battleships that have been started in their country (German warships will not be named after they are launched). In order to obtain orders from the Russian Navy for several months, Tirpitz, who has been promoted to the major general of the army, sent these draft drawings to St. Petersburg, hoping to hand them over to the Russian Admiral by the German ambassador to Russia. Unexpectedly, the things had just been delivered, but the poor Raster suddenly fell seriously injured in his home.

Speaking of this, Rastel coughed, avoiding Qingying's staring gaze, and then said, "After learning about this situation, Your Majesty means that since this idea was proposed by Your Highness, then Your Highness, you must take full responsibility for this matter. Now Your Highness happens to be in the Winter Palace again, so let you sell warships to the Russians."

Qingying widened her eyes and said in disbelief: "What, let me go? This is your plan? Mr. Rustel, even if you are unable to move, you must have other people under you; are all my German diplomats in St. Petersburg except you, Mr.?"

Hearing Qingying's words a little angry, Rastel quickly explained: "His highness calms down. In addition to me, Germany does have two senior diplomats here, and can be ordered at any time; but it is Your Majesty's intention to ask Your Highness to sell warships to the Russians!" Qingying was surprised and said: "Is it my father who asked me to go? Even so, I still have to say something, it's too incredible!"

Rastel smiled slightly and said, "In fact, this interference in the Three Kingdoms has returned Liao, and Russia has already owe us a favor; and this time selling warships to the Russians is also an act that is in line with the interests of both countries. Due to the special identity of Your Highness, if you are asked to do this, it will represent the German Empire and even achieve better results than I can go. As for diplomatic and verbal negotiations, Your Highness does not have to worry at all. I will tell you everything I need to use later." He showed a hint of envy on his face and said with a sigh: "The emperor has high hopes for Your Highness, and his intentions do not require me to say anything more, right?"

Qingying let out a long sigh. After a while, a complex look appeared in his eyes, and he nodded slowly and said, "Sir, please tell me, what level should the sales ship reach this time, and what should I do specifically?" Rastel hushed, tinkered at the bedside table, and then took out a piece of bound materials and placed them in Qingying's hand.

"Your Highness, this is the information I received yesterday from Berlin. It contains nearly 30 design plans, all of which were prepared for this naval military sale. Unfortunately, I don't understand the knowledge of the navy at all, and I didn't see anything after reading it for a day. Your Majesty said you still have some understanding of this aspect, which is also one of the reasons why he handed over this task to you." Seeing Qingying turning the first page of the information, Rustel paused and continued: "Every design here can be chosen by the Russians. Your Majesty means that when the Russians are preparing to hold a large naval, it is best to get all the orders of the entire Russian Far East fleet into my German Empire shipyard!"

After hearing the last sentence, even though Qingying had already understood William's temperament, he was still frightened by his cheap father's ambition. According to Qingying's original intention, he was to sell some good ships of conscience to let the Russians fight to the death with Japan. He also said this in the telegram. However, he did not expect that William's ambition was so great that he wanted to take all the orders of the Russian Pacific Fleet. When the Russo-Japanese War broke out in history, the number of main ships of the Russian Pacific Fleet reached half of that of Japan. With some scattered auxiliary ships, the cost of building ships alone was almost 10 million pounds! Qingying smiled bitterly and did not comment on this issue. All his mind was attracted by the material in front of him.

This document has about 40 pages, covering information about 8 battleship designs, 11 patrol designs and 6 dome cruisers. Although all are handwritten, with a little blue-black ink stain on the edges, the text is neat and the image is clear and clear, which is a rare and excellent material. In order to prevent the key design secrets of this material from being leaked due to the loss, only three views of the warship after completion were drawn, some general weight distribution and performance data were marked, and a series of most critical things such as the structure of each part were not drawn. Qingying's naval accomplishments happened to be able to understand the information listed above. Qingying, who discovered this, was overjoyed and began to greedily analyze each design on it. While reviewing these warships, Qingying also wanted to see what the German Navy Design Bureau would have produced after his influence?

The sun sets, and the lights are on, golden and bright. Before I knew it, Qingying sat in front of Rustel's bed for 3 hours.

After a long time, Qingying closed the text in front of her, then let out a long breath of turbid breath, and her eyes showed an expression of unconcealed joy. Since the lead duck storm, William II, in a rage, drove several conservative and incompetent old guys out of the design bureau. Under heavy pressure, the design of the Navy headquarters has made a leap forward like a thousand miles, which is far from comparable to the same period in history. The Germans began to boldly equip more powerful artillery on warships, basically solving the problem of serious redundancy in structural strength in another plane; and the optimization and innovation of underwater line type has made Germany's proud ship boiler technology fully utilized.

Judging from the data shown in this material, even if it cannot win, even if it cannot be defeated. (You are not wrong, the warship design in the late 19th century must be the first to be recommended by Italy. Although the combat effectiveness of their army was widely criticized by later generations, their design concept is no one can match: the concept of full-heavy artillery of the dreadnought was first proposed by Italian designer Vittorio in 1903. In addition, in the pre-Fearless era, Italy determined its supreme status in the field of warship design with just one Garibal level, and became the eternal godship and legend in armored cruisers.)

Now there are good ships, but what kind of ship is suitable for the Russians, and can play the role she deserves in the Maoist Pacific Fleet in the Russo-Japanese War? Is it a battleship with heavy artillery and thick armor, an armored cruiser with balanced performance, or a cheap and mass-produced dome cruiser? Qingying no longer has to worry about this question; before traveling through, there was already the clearest answer in the world where he was.

The dome-armored cruisers are very easy to get into water because they have no waterline armor. They have already lagged behind in the late 19th century when rapid-fire gun technology has made rapid progress and can only exert their residual heat in second- and third-rate naval countries. However, by the beginning of the 20th century of the Russo-Japanese War, they have basically no effect and can only bully some ships that are lower than themselves than themselves. If they are pulled onto the main battlefield, they can't stand a round under the armored cruisers and battleships. The Russian Navy has been defeated miserably in the Russo-Japanese War. Qingying must strengthen the Russian fleet and let them fight to the death with the Japanese Navy.

Since the low-protection dome cruiser is useless, what about the battleship with strong helmets and thick armor? As soon as this idea appeared, it was immediately rejected by Qingying. Since the German Navy is currently only active in the North Sea and the Baltic Sea, the combat distance is very close, the rate of firing of the main gun of the battleship is particularly important. In order to pursue a rate of firing of 2 rounds per minute, Germany equipped the battleship with a 283mm caliber main gun, and the bullet weight is only 240 kilograms; while the mainstream equipment of the battleships of the great powers in the same era

The 305mm heavy artillery can fire shells weighing more than 360 kilograms. The 283mm main gun on the German battleship is much inferior in terms of caliber and power (of course, the initial speed of the German 283mm artillery is faster, reaching 820m/s). In this document, all battleship designs are only equipped with 283mm main guns; with the Russians who pursue roughness, Qingying did not expect them to like the German battleships with delicate style.

Although with the strength of Krupp's military industry, it is possible to develop a standard main gun of 305mmL40, with the current metallurgy level and mechanical industry, it is difficult to quickly load nearly 400kg shells. The reason why the German 11-inch gun still maintains a 240kg light flicker, but does not increase to the normal 300kg. In addition to achieving high initial velocity and having a straight and accurate trajectory, another very important reason is to reduce the pressure of the bullet-transportation system and enable it to meet the shooting ability of two rounds per minute. If the main gun of a battleship cannot shoot one round in a minute, this kind of pursuit of single-shot power is of no practical significance. At the end of the 19th century when the fire control of the warship was underdeveloped, the main function of the low-fire large-caliber artillery was to deter the enemy, rather than the actual effect achieved after the hit.

What can truly help the Russians recover the naval decline in the Far East is not a battleship with strong helmets and thick armor, but an armored cruiser with balanced performance. Due to its slow speed, the battleship greatly limits its tactical performance and can only perform the mission of a fleet's decisive battle, but armored cruisers are not. Closing the battleship with a speed of more than 20 knots can effectively avoid battleships with speeds of around 17-18 knots, cruising the ocean, and eliminating any immediate enemy other than battleships. Japan is a country that relies heavily on maritime shipping, with daily throughput tonnage

All are counted in ten thousand tons; as long as there are several large armored cruisers swaying at their doorstep, it will seriously affect Japan's war potential and thus directly feedback to the land war situation. Armored cruisers cruising on the waterway that Japanese merchant ships must pass. When the battleship comes, I will leave, when the battleship goes away, I will come again, and when other ships are encountered, they will sink directly. At the beginning of the 20th century without aircraft reconnaissance, this kind of vulgar tactic of placing patrols is almost unsolvable. The only factor that restricts the battleship is its own range!
