My Italian: Chapter 476 buy drawings

Marshal Tirpitz spent a week in Venice with the German naval officers. During this week, Tirpitz boarded the deck of the Dreadnought four or five times. Doorman, love for this ship.

During this period, the Intrepid went to sea three times, and each time the ship was accompanied by German officers, they took a small notebook while reading and taking notes, trying to record everything they saw on the Intrepid.

As for Marshal Tirpitz, he even experienced the high speed of the ship for the first time after boarding the ship for the third time.

According to the observations of Italian Navy test officers and soldiers, when the Intrepid is at full power output, its maximum power reaches 31,318 horsepower, so that the Intrepid rushed to a high speed of 23 knots in one fell swoop. The actual power far exceeds the design power by so much, which not only surprised the Italian military officers, but also the German military officers who visited together.

For the power system to be able to explode such surging power under full power, it all depends on the role of the oil-fired boiler. This product, which combines the technologies of marine power boilers from Germany and Italy, has a high explosive capacity, which is amazing. Not to mention the use of fuel oil that can burn more fully, which increases the output power of the boiler.

The power increase is definitely good news for the Dreadnought, and this also strengthened some of the ideas of the German Navy. After visiting the Dreadnought several times, the German Navy finally made a request to Italy to purchase the complete set of Dreadnought technology.

"Admiral Yagier, your country's battleship Dreadnought is an epoch-making masterpiece. I hope that your country can share the blueprint of the ship with our country in accordance with the alliance agreement."

"No problem, but I hope that your country can exchange the following technologies."

As he spoke, Admiral Yagier took the document handed over by the officer beside him and placed it in front of Tirpitz.

Although Germany and Italy are an alliance and can provide technical materials to each other at the same time, the premise of all this is the principle of equivalence, that is, whether it is technology or goods provided by the two parties, the value of the two must be equal.

That's right, they are equal in value. Because this is also an exchange principle formulated with full consideration of the actual conditions of the two countries. After all, no one wants to suffer a loss, so an exchange of equal value is also in line with the actual situation of the two parties. Of course, when two parties have disputes over a technology or material, they can adjust their differences through negotiation. If the disagreement is too great, then the two parties can choose whether to terminate the exchange, or one party to meet the other party's requirements.

Of course, under normal circumstances, the two parties seldom reach the final step, because they usually reach a consensus in the first step.

And this time, Germany has also done a good job in purchasing the complete set of technology of the Intrepid. It knows what technologies Italy needs. For example, in the chemical industry, Italy has already coveted it. Among other things, German dyes dominate the world, and every textile factory that wants to render will basically purchase German dyes.

But this time, in order to get the full set of drawings of the Intrepid, Tirpitz already had Italians ask him for chemical, optical, electrification and other technologies.

However, when he accepted the conditions put forward by Italy, he found that the Italians did not ask for the purchase of these technologies at all, but put forward several conditions one after another that made him feel a little confused, such as asking to participate in the research and development of synthetic ammonia technology , in addition to synthetic ammonia, there are several studies that Italy hopes to participate in.

Obviously, the Italians want to take the shoulders of Germany and obtain the right to use new technologies with them.

Regarding the minds of the Italians, although Marshal Tirpitz is only a soldier, there is no reason why he does not know the intentions of the other party. "As for the conditions given by your country, we need to consider it."

Facing Tirpitz's words, Admiral Yagier immediately replied. "No problem, you can discuss it carefully."

Although Admiral Yagier said so, he didn't think that the head of the German navy would turn out tricks. Because in this matter, Germany needs Italy, and the urgency is still very high.

I didn’t see that Germany passed two naval laws in a row, especially the 1900 Navy Act, which doubled the size of the Navy formulated in 1898 and required that the size of the German Navy’s warships be increased to 36 battleships by 1917 , 14 heavy cruisers, 38 light cruisers and about 100 torpedo boats, the scale of its construction ranks second in Europe.

With such an urgent shipbuilding plan, how could it be possible to let the epoch-making battleship Dreadnought go.

Admiral Yagier was not worried at all, the Germans did not agree to their request. Speaking of which, the Italian navy has sacrificed so much this time, so in terms of funding, perhaps His Majesty the King should consider the difficulties of the navy.

Especially in the case of non-stop shipbuilding in European countries, the Italian navy must keep up with the footsteps of other countries, otherwise, among the navies of the great powers, the Italian navy will become the bottom existence again.

It needs to be explained here that although Britain and Germany are currently building ships at a relatively fast speed, there is another country that is building ships very fast, and that is the United States across the Atlantic Ocean.

Although the United States lost the previous Spanish-American War, this stimulated the young and energetic America. In the following time, American warships were like dumplings. So far, the United States has as many as 19 battleships under construction and in service, which is much faster than Germany, which is full of clamor all over the world (15 battleships under construction and in service). He is worthy of being the chosen son of wealth and wealth.

Of course, from the perspective of the naval powers of the United States, the performance of these warships in the United States may be a little bit behind that of the ships of other countries. Make up for it, Americans with deep pockets are not short of money. (Currently, the U.S. shipbuilding expenditure ranks first in the world, and the annual shipbuilding cost of at least 15 million pounds is enough to make the navies of other countries drool.)

Of course, it is also fortunate that there is an Atlantic Ocean, otherwise, such unscrupulous shipbuilding by the United States will inevitably trigger larger-scale shipbuilding in various countries.

Admiral Yagier was not kept waiting for long. After about three or four days, Marshal Tirpitz finally returned to the negotiating table.

"As for your country's request, our country considers it acceptable after careful consideration."

Facing Tirpitz's words, Admiral Yagier smiled. "Marshal Tirpitz, I believe that in the near future, your country's new battleship will surely surprise the world."

In fact, it is not necessary for him to say that, it is impossible for Tirpitz to give up the ship. For him who is currently trying to build 70% of the naval strength of the British Empire, this new type of battleship is an inevitable thing, otherwise he would not spend a lot of money to persuade the Kaiser. After all, the German navy relied on the emperor's attention to develop so rapidly.
