Qin Tian saw the expressions of William II and Marshal Earl Tirpitz, and knew that they seemed to be wrong.
"Father, Your Excellency Marshal, the 100 million marks I'm talking about is not a total of 100 million marks, but 100 million marks per year. After all, although the income of the welfare lottery company is quite a lot, I still have other investment projects. There are also many places to spend money. Therefore, we can only withdraw 100 million marks every year." Qin Tian explained.
If too much profit is extracted from his industries every year, it will have a great impact on Qin Tian's future industrial layout. In addition, the flow of such a large amount of funds will be more easily discovered by other countries.
"100 million marks per year? Very good, very good. Oscar, you have done a very good job. I am proud to have a son like you!" William II was very satisfied.
"His Royal Highness, 100 million marks per year until the war begins?" Marshal Earl Tirpitz asked excitedly. If this is the case, it means that the German Navy has received a huge extra amount of support. With this amount of funds, the financial pressure on the German Navy will be greatly reduced. They have enough funds to develop armaments and build warships.
"100 million marks per year, until the end of the war!" Qin Tian said solemnly.
Qin Tianzhi, the current high-level Germans probably would not have imagined that the future war would last for a long time. In another time and space, the war lasted for four full years, completely beyond everyone's expectations. You know, at the beginning of the war, everyone from William II to ordinary soldiers believed that they could defeat the enemy within a few months and end the war. In this time and space, even if Germany's military power has been strengthened, it may still be very difficult to end the war in a short time. Therefore, Qin Tian hoped that Germany would be ready for a protracted war.
Marshal Earl Tirpitz nodded: "Your Highness, thank you very much. Your support for the navy will definitely be rewarded. We will definitely defeat the British in future wars."
Marshal Earl Tirpitz is full of confidence. Originally, compared with the British Navy, the German Navy was at a great disadvantage. One of the main reasons is probably that the financial resources of the British Navy are definitely not comparable to that of the German Navy. Now with Qin Tian's support, everything is different. Qin Tian gets a loan of 100 million marks every year, which is almost enough to build two battleships. The construction cycle of a first-class battleship often takes as long as two or three years. The first-class battleships of the German Navy usually have four to five ships. In other words, basically using Qin Tian's loan, they are enough to guarantee the construction of the battleship. The German Navy's own military expenditures can be invested in the construction of other light surface ships. In this case, it is enough to make the strength of the German navy grow by leaps and bounds. Because of this, they will soon catch up with the British Navy, and even overtake the British Navy. In addition, the battleship designed by Qin Tian was able to crush the British battleship in terms of performance. Combining these favorable factors, if the German navy can't beat the British, then the German navy should just buy a piece of tofu and kill them.
"Oscar, when speaking to the outside world, I will announce that the royal family provided the loan to the navy. In this way, the British and French should not suspect you." William II said. He was very satisfied with Qin Tian's performance.
Qin Tian shook his head: "Father, there is no impenetrable wall in the world. The British and French will know sooner or later. However, if they dare to use administrative orders to expel the German Welfare Lottery Company from the markets of the two countries, Then they are deliberately sabotaging the market. Even if we have nothing to do with them for the time being, we can still liquidate them after the war is over and let them compensate us for the losses! Now, I just hope that it can be delayed as long as possible. In this way, it can also give us enough time to earn more wealth from Britain and France."
As the saying goes, ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge, as long as Germany wins the war in the end. Then, there are naturally enough reasons for Britain and France to compensate for the losses.
William II and Marshal Count Tirpitz nodded repeatedly. This world is already very cruel. Once defeated in the war, the consequences will be very serious. And once they win, they can wantonly plunder wealth from the defeated country. It is the essence of this world that the weak prey on the strong, and the strong prey on the weak.
"Your Highness, do you have any specific plans for the next level of battleship?" Marshal Earl Tirpitz asked.
"Your Excellency, Marshal, here are the design drawings." Qin Tian directly took out a copy of the blueprint from the suitcase he carried with him, and spread it out on the desk.
This design drawing was designed by Qin Tian a long time ago. With the design drawings of the "Nassau-class" battleship in front, the new class of capital ships only needs to enlarge the "Nassau-class" battleship. Of course, some changes are needed in some places.
"Father, Your Excellency Marshal, this is the next-level battleship I designed." Qin Tian began to introduce William II and Marshal Count Tirpitz.
This new type of battleship designed by Qin Tian is 158 meters long, 26.5 meters wide, 8.7 meters draft, with a standard displacement of 23,500 tons and a full load displacement of 25,500 tons. Armed with three triple-mounted 343mm 50-caliber main guns, 14 150mm 45-caliber secondary guns, and 16 88mm 45-caliber anti-torpedo boat guns. The power is 16 Sulzer oil-fired boilers, four Curtis steam turbines, the maximum power of the main engine is 32,000 horsepower, four-axis propulsion, and the maximum speed is 23 knots. Armor defense defense, the main armor belt defense is 330 mm, the front armor of the turret and the armor of the conning tower are both 330 mm. The deck armor is 55mm.
The difference from the "Nassau-class" battleship is that the main gun has a larger caliber, using a 343mm main gun with a 50-caliber main gun. In addition, the armor is also thicker, the main armor has been increased from 305 mm to 330 mm, with a stronger defense, and the survivability of the battleship in naval battles has been improved. At the same time, by installing boilers, the power of the battleship is improved, so that the speed of the battleship can go further, reaching 23 knots. This is undoubtedly amazing for a battleship with a displacement of up to 25,000 tons. After all, the speed of the capital ships of various countries is generally only a dozen knots.
This also makes the overall performance of the new class of battleships a step higher than the "Nassau class" battleships. Of course, the cost is naturally more expensive.
