Jagged Germany

Chapter 105: Diamond king and five (for collection)

??After discussions with the generals of the Imperial Army, they finally decided to purchase 20,000 trucks from Daimler. However, the payment needs to be paid in five installments. The army's military expenditures are very tight, and if they can buy trucks with more than 100 million marks, it will already make them tighten their belts.

??Of course, in Qin Tian's view, 20,000 trucks are far from enough. Once war breaks out, Germany needs to mobilize more than 3.5 million troops. The army alone may have more than three million people. This also means that the Army needs more trucks to transport personnel and supplies.

??However, Qin Tian also knows that the army is now headed by little Maoqi. Although, he and Little Maoqi were no longer fighting head-to-head. However, the relationship between the two parties is still not good. It is obviously impossible for Little Maoqi to agree to purchase in large quantities. Unless, replace Maoqi and let another person serve as the chief of staff.

?? However, even if Qin Tian has now become the crown prince of the empire, it is impossible for him to have the power to replace Mao Qi in a short period of time. Therefore, he could only think of other ways.

??Qin Tian decided to ask Daimler to produce more trucks as a reserve. Once a war breaks out, it can be delivered to the army immediately, or even in the form of a loan, first handed over to the army for use, and the relevant payments will be paid after the war is over. In this case, the pressure on the Army can be further reduced. At the same time, it can also make the army remember his goodness.

??On the other hand, it is increasing the sale of such trucks to the private sector. In this way, after the outbreak of war, these trucks can be requisitioned in the name of the military, so that the military can have enough trucks to go to the front to support the battle.

??In addition to the 20,000 vehicles purchased by the Army, the Navy also purchased 5,000 vehicles. Trucks are much less useful in the Navy than in the Army. After all, the naval bases are all built by the sea, and they use ships to transport them, which can almost solve most of the problems. Of course, the navy is the most supportive of Qin Tian, ??and of course it will support Qin Tian's products. It can be said that now the German Navy and Qin Tian are completely wearing a pair of trousers.

?? On the way back to Berlin, Marshal Count Tirpitz and Qin Tian took the same car. Qin Tian's car had already been replaced by a Daimler Class B car.

"Your Highness, although it is our navy, from my personal experience, the army's demand for trucks is obviously greater, and it is simply not enough for 20,000 trucks." Earl Tirpitz The Marshal sighed.

??Qin Tian nodded his head, his expression was a little unsightly. Trucks can be used not only to transport troops, but also to tow artillery and transport logistical supplies. Compared with mules and horses, trucks do not need to be fed, and they hardly need to rest, and their load capacity is larger than that of mules and horses. Compared with the overall efficiency, it is naturally far above that of mules and horses. However, this is obviously an extremely useful piece of equipment for improving the combat effectiveness of the army, but because of some people's obstruction, it has encountered a big problem in promoting it in the army.

?? Qin Tian was very angry about this, if possible, he would like to shoot such a guy. But it is a pity that now he is only the crown prince, and he is still the 'acting' crown prince, not the emperor of the empire. He has no right to replace the chief of staff who is highly valued by the emperor.

?? "Your Excellency, Marshal, there is no way to do it. Father trusts little Mao Qi too much." Qin Tian shook his head, looking a little helpless.

?? Marshal Earl Tirpitz naturally knew the character of William II very well. Although William II was very talented, he was headstrong and conceited, and could not listen to other people's opinions. Even though he knew that Maoqi's ability was problematic, he would not easily replace him. After all, little Maoqi is his man.

??Of course, the reason why Marshal Earl Tirpitz became the head of the navy is also because he is deeply trusted by William II. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to speak his mind in the navy.

?? "Your Highness, if I have the opportunity, I will raise this point with Your Majesty. With His Majesty's wisdom, I believe he will know what to do." Marshal Count Tirpitz hesitated, then said.

??Qin Tian shook his head: "Let's forget it, this will definitely arouse the disgust of the father."

??Navy and Qin Tian are very close, which already made William II feel a little dissatisfied. If Marshal Earl Tirpitz accused another minister who was heavily used by William II in front of William II, it would definitely make William II even more disgusted. Qin Tian hoped that Marshal Earl Tirpitz would be in charge of the navy and lead the navy to defeat the Royal Navy. He didn't want to cause extra problems because of this.

?? Marshal Earl Tirpitz nodded and had no choice but to stop talking about this topic.

?? "By the way, Your Highness, you will soon come of age!" Marshal Earl Tirpitz asked suddenly.

??Qin Tian was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.

Yes! The current Qin Tian is about to turn twenty years old. There is only one month left before his twentieth birthday. And it has been five years since he was reborn into this world. During these five years, he tried every means to strengthen Germany's military strength, and took this opportunity to become the acting crown prince of Germany by accident.

?? It can be said that the five years of Qin Tian's rebirth were not wasted. Thanks to his efforts, the German navy has made great progress compared with another time and space. At the same time, the strength of the German Army is also improving little by little. Qin Tian believes that once war breaks out in the future, the combat effectiveness of the German army will be even more terrifying. The possibility of winning this world war will also be greater.

??Although, if Qin Tian's mental age is added together, he is more than forty years old, and he can be regarded as a middle-aged man. But his current biological age, after all, is less than twenty years old. Compared with his previous life, he is stronger and stronger. But it's a pity that, as the acting crown prince, he is still a virgin because he is too busy, and he has never even held a girl's hand. It has to be said that among the royal family of the empire, and even among the heirs of various countries, this is definitely the only one.

"Your Highness, I learned from His Majesty that on your twentieth birthday, His Majesty will hold a grand coming-of-age ceremony for you in the palace. At that time, important ministers and celebrities of the empire will be invited to attend. Especially those young The beautiful ladies of the nobility are probably already looking forward to it." Marshal Earl Tirpitz couldn't help laughing.

??Qin Tian was speechless for a moment. As he was about to become an adult, it was indeed time for him to find a girlfriend and get married. Moreover, in terms of his identity and status, Wuyu is the biggest diamond kingpin in Germany and even the whole world, and many girls are staring at him.
