The Second Reich: Beginning with the Prince of Prussia

Second Reich, East Prussia.

Municipality of Stettin, Pomeranian Province.

Taking advantage of the eagle-chan's big white fleet to sail around the world, it was an opportunity to attract the attention of the whole world.

Andrews quietly took the naval commander Tirpitz to East Prussia.

Here, there is a shipyard with the largest and strongest comprehensive strength in the empire.

This is the ——- Volken shipyard that Andrews bought in the first place!

In the past few years, thanks to the fact that the empire has taken on a large number of shipbuilding orders.

The performance of the Volkeng shipyard is booming, and the scale is getting bigger day by day.

Compared to when they were first bought by Andrews, they are now twice as large.

The number of workers has tripled, and the number of slipways has increased by 4!

The ability to build ships has also increased several times!

At present, the Volkeng shipyard can already build super-large ships of more than 50,000 tons!

It is precisely because they have such strong strength that they are the first choice for the Second Empire to build super warships!

Of course, the choice of them has a lot to do with the fact that the shipyard belongs to him.

Compared to other shipyards in the Empire, this is a shipyard that he himself created and supported.

Undoubtedly, it has condensed more of his efforts and is more worthy of his trust.

After all, the Empire was going to build such battleships next, before they were built and launched.

Andrews didn't want it to leak the slightest bit of information

If the news leaks, other countries are bound to follow suit.

In that case, the Empire's technological lead may be difficult to maintain for too long.

The current director of the shipyard is a former servant at Andrews' side.

He was the son of Arnold, the steward of the Prussian prince's palace - Neil Arnold

Neil had been with Andrews for a while, though he wasn't a very smart person.

But he is hard-working, down-to-earth and conscientious, very sincere, and extremely loyal to Andrews.

Therefore, Andrews was relieved to hand over the shipyard to him.

And the original designer, Anderson Sr., has been promoted to the shipyard's chief technical adviser by this time.

It is precisely with his excellent work experience and business ability that Volkeng Shipyard can be so smooth sailing and stronger and stronger.

By this time, Neil and Anderson had arrived, and were carefully studying the brand-new design drawings that the Emperor had brought with them.

"Well, can these kinds of warships be built?"

Seeing the expressions on the faces of the two, Andrews asked casually.

"Your Majesty, with the current capacity of the shipyard, I'm afraid that this kind of 40,000-ton warship can't be built for the time being!"

Anderson said with some embarrassment.

Andrews glanced at what he was holding.

It was the design drawings of the Bismarck-class battleships that he bought from the system.

The Bismarck-class battleship was the main battleship of the Third Reich during World War II, with a standard displacement of more than 40,000 tons and a full load displacement of more than 50,000 tons!

And its ship is more than 250 meters long!

The largest slipway at the Volkeng shipyard is only 250 meters, which simply cannot accommodate it.

Warships are not the same as merchant ships, and warships pursue maximum speed.

So their style is slimmer, and the captain is longer.

Merchant ships, on the other hand, don't care about maximum speed, but they do care a lot about interior space.

So their style is more bloated, the width of the ship is large, but the length is not too long.

In this case, the 250-meter shipyard can fully meet the construction of 50,000-ton or even 80,000-ton merchant ships.

But it can't undertake the construction of a 4-ton warship, because the length is too long!

Since the Bismarck-class battleships could not be built, the longer aircraft carriers were naturally even more hopeless.

When the Emperor heard Anderson's words, he was not too disappointed.

With the strength of the Third Reich, the construction of Bismarck-class battleships was very reluctant. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Not to mention them now?

It's best if you can build it, and it doesn't matter if you can't build it.

Anyway, he has a subordinate replacement!

"And what about this battleship?

It's only 235 meters long, so the shipyard's slipway should suffice, right?"

Tirpitz had another design in his hand, a design for the 30,000-ton Scharnhorst-class battlecruiser.

Compared to the Bismarck-class battleships, the tonnage of the Scharnhorst-class battlecruisers was much smaller.

However, it is still more than one circle larger than the warships in service in various countries in this era, and even those that remain on the design drawings.

Therefore, even if the ultimate killer of the Bismarck-class battleship cannot be built.

As long as the Scharnhorst-class battleships can be brought out, the navy of the Second Reich will still enjoy an unparalleled huge advantage in the face of the enemy.

Seeing Tirpitz's new design drawings, Anderson's eyes lit up.

Hurriedly took it and looked at it carefully, the more he looked at it, the more excited he became.

With his ability, it is naturally not difficult to see.

How brilliant is this design drawing, and can design such a battleship.

I'm afraid that the strength of that designer has long surpassed him, and he is not even lost to the top designers at the moment when the sun never sets!

Thinking of this, Anderson couldn't help but ask:

"Your Majesty, who drew this blueprint?"

Andrews glanced at him, taking in all the expressions he had just made.

It is known that he is very happy with the ship, but the blueprints were purchased by Andrews from the system.

He didn't know who it was.

So he said: "This is an imperial secret, you don't have to worry about it, you just have to answer, can the shipyard build a battleship of this class?"

Anderson was awe-inspiring, such an excellent designer, the emperor naturally wanted to protect him.

It will not be easily made public, otherwise, once the sun never sets or people from other countries know about it.

At best, they will be poached, or they will be kidnapped or even assassinated!

In either case, it would mean a huge loss for the Empire!

I was so stupid to ask such a question that shouldn't have been asked.

Fortunately, His Majesty did not blame, otherwise, I am afraid that I would have been in trouble.

Thinking of this, Anderson replied honestly:

"If it is such a battleship, with the current capacity of the shipyard, it should be able to complete it smoothly!"

"Very well, then from now on, the big will immediately start building this kind of battleship!".
