Jagged Germany

Chapter 841: fleet sale

??The ship review conducted by Germany was also very successful. The German navy fully demonstrated their strength in front of representatives of other countries and the people of the empire. Those huge steel ships undoubtedly represented the powerful force of the German navy, so any country that attempted to confront Germany had to weigh whether they had the strength to confront Germany.

??After the ship review ceremony, the representatives of various countries participating in the ship review ceremony had different ideas in their hearts. Those small countries don't care about it. Originally, they had to act according to the face of big countries in international affairs. It's just that before, it was to look at the faces of the British. Now it's just looking at the faces of the Germans. But those big countries are different. They are well aware of the strength of Germany, and they know that if they want to challenge Germany, they may have to pay a higher price.

??After the ship review ceremony, the German Navy held a grand dinner at the naval base to entertain representatives from various countries.

??Qin Tian made an appearance at the dinner party, and then left. He needs to discuss with Marshal Earl Tirpitz which warships need to be sold.

?? "Your Excellency, Marshal, have you discussed with the Navy?" Qin Tian asked.

??Although, at the military reform meeting, it has been determined that the navy will sell a large number of warships. Moreover, Qin Tian already had a clear statement on which warships to sell. However, the generals of the navy are still a little unwilling to sell so many warships at once.

"Your Majesty, the generals hope to keep some more warships. For example, those warships equipped with 343mm main guns. If so many warships are sold at once, there will be a big vacuum in the power of the Imperial Navy. After all, we are from the British It will take a lot of time for the warships obtained from the people to actually serve. Even the most complete warships will take a year. Let alone the other warships." Tirpitz The Earl Marshal said.

??Once a large number of warships are sold according to Qin Tian's request, within at least one year, the German Navy will only have 16 battleships left. Although, the number of 16 battleships is quite a lot, and they are all powerful battleships. However, if they are scattered in various fleets, it seems slightly insufficient. After all, the interests that the German Navy needs to take into account now are on a global scale.

Qin Tian nodded: "You're right, this will cause the Imperial Navy's strength to be empty for a period of time. However, this is not serious. After all, the Empire has just won the World War, and the strength of those enemies of the Empire has been affected. Different degrees of weakening. It is no longer a threat to the empire. Not to mention, in addition to these capital ships, the imperial navy has six aircraft carriers. Even if all other countries add up, it is impossible to be the opponent of the empire .As long as you persist for a year, the Imperial Navy will have battleships in service one after another. By then, the strength of the Imperial Navy will be on the right track and become stronger and stronger."

?? "Yes, Your Majesty!" Marshal Earl Tirpitz nodded. He actually agreed with Qin Tian's point of view. After the war, the German navy was indeed too powerful. In addition, the German Navy will soon have more cutting-edge capital ships entering service, and it would be a complete waste of military expenditure to retain such a large number of capital ships. What's more, the top leaders of the German Navy know that the future main force of the navy will no longer be capital ships, but aircraft carriers. Only by building more aircraft carriers can the German Navy become stronger.

??Subsequently, Marshal Count Tirpitz appeared in the banquet hall. His appearance immediately attracted the attention of others. After all, although Marshal Count Tirpitz is old, he is the head of the German Navy. Even though everyone thinks that he will retire soon, this does not hinder his influence.

?? "Everyone! I'm sorry to disturb everyone!" The words of Marshal Earl Tirpitz reached everyone's ears through the microphone.

??Everyone stopped talking or dancing, and looked at Marshal Earl Tirpitz, not knowing what he was going to say.

"Gentlemen! As we all know, the German Empire is a peace-loving country. The war that has just passed has caused the countries involved in the war to pay a heavy price. In this war, there is no winner." Tirpitz The Earl Marshal said.

??After listening to the words of Marshal Earl Tirpitz, many people curled their lips in disdain. Is Germany a peaceful country? From the beginning of German reunification to the present, Germany has fought many wars. Moreover, Germany has won every war. It can be said that without those victories, there would be no strong Germany today.

?? Besides, Germany is the biggest winner of this world war. These words of Marshal Earl Tirpitz are completely ridiculing other countries!

"The war is over, and the world needs peace. In order to bring peace to the whole world, the German Empire decided to sell a batch of warships. Of course, the price is very favorable. I hope that countries that are determined to build a powerful navy can seize this opportunity." Opportunity!" Marshal Count Tirpitz continued.

??Germany actually wants to sell a batch of warships, which is beyond everyone's expectations. Still, it's easy to understand in retrospect. After all, the German navy is strong enough. Selling some warships can save a lot of military expenses.

"The warships for sale include battleships, battlecruisers, armored cruisers, light cruisers and destroyers. Here, I will only introduce the capital ships we will sell. For other specific lists, interested friends can ask the Ministry of the Navy The capital ships that the Imperial Navy will sell this time include five 'Caesar-class' battleships, four 'Helgoland-class' battleships, four 'Nassau-class' battleships, and three 'Moltke-class' battlecruisers , two 'Blücher-class' battlecruisers!" said Marshal Count Tirpitz.

?? This can't help but make many people gasp. They thought that Germany was just trying to make fun of it. But I didn't expect Germany to be playing for real. There are as many as 13 battleships and 5 battlecruisers for these capital ships for sale alone! With so many capital ships, no country in the world can compete with it except Germany. It can be said that after the sale of these capital ships, the strength of the German Navy has shrunk by nearly half. Of course, they have to admit that even if the strength of the German navy has shrunk by half, no country can confront it at this stage.
