Chapter 870: Gibraltar (11th update)

    "Your Majesty, Bu Russia has officially replied to us and is willing to cooperate with us." Imperial Foreign Minister Vahit said with a smile.


    Several agreements reached between Qin Tian and Joseph have been approved. When the news came, Qin Tian and the military and political ministers of the empire couldn''t believe it. After all, what Germany sent to Bu Russia was poisoned candy, and those people in Bu Russia are not fools, so it is impossible not to know this. Qin Tian even once thought that there might be some kind of conspiracy by the Bu Party.


    However, even if there is some conspiracy. Bu Russia agreed to these conditions, which is also of great benefit to Germany. Whether it is to help Burusa rebuild its industrial system or build a transportationwork, it will cost money. Bu Russia has no real money, so it uses agricultural products and mineral resources to pay off debts. How many agricultural products and mineral resources are given, and Germany will help them build as many factories, sell as many machinery and equipment, and build as many railways and roads.


    In this case, the construction period is almost determined by Buer. In order to speed up, they will definitely step up the exploitation of those farmers. Would those peasants take kindly to Boo when they were starving? When Germany attacks Bu Russia, it will announce the allocation ofnd to them and reduce taxes at the same time. You don''t need to think about it, but those Russian peasants will probably be leaders in no time.


    "Then let''s implement it ording to the agreement!" Qin Tian said.


    "Yes, Your Majesty." The imperial prime minister Biluo nodded.


    Although many of the cooperation with Bu Russia this time involve the future military deployment of the empire, most of the projects are basically civilian projects supported by the government. Of course, in order to meet the needs of the military, the military will definitely send people secretly to participate in it. Only in this way can we ensure that the military gets what it wants and take the lead in future wars.


    "How many battleships did Bu Russia ask us to build for them?" Qin Tian asked.


    Germany helped Russia build a batch of battleships, which is also a key project of this cooperation.


    "Your Majesty, Bu Russia proposed to build four battleships of this ss." Marshal Reinhard Scheer, Minister of the Navy, said.


    "Four ships? It''s about the same. Their financial resources are not enough." Qin Tian rubbed his chin. Although he wanted to cheat Bu''e hard, but Bu''e only had such a little financial resources, there was no other way!


    "When the navy builds these warships for Bu Russia, it must reserve some loopholes. Only in this way can we ensure that we can easily sink these battleships when we go to war!" Qin Tian said.


    "Yes, Your Majesty. The designers have already started to think of a way. At that time, the Russians will find out that they have spent huge sums of money, and what they bought back is just a pile of scrap iron!" Marshal Reinhard Scheer smiled. Said.


    Although, this seems a bit immoral. However, for the benefit of the empire, in order to be able to win the war, it is natural to do everything possible.


    "By the way, Your Majesty. The Ottoman Turkish Empire has also expressed the hope of ordering a batch of battleships from the Empire." Marshal Reinhard Scheer continued.


    "What warship do they want to buy? How many ships?" Qin Tian asked.


    "They want us to build two battleships for them based on the ''Mackenson-ss'' battleships."


    Qin Tian thought for a while: "Promise them! However, the profits that should be made must be guaranteed."


    Marshal Reinhard Scheer nodded.


    Thest time Germany held a battleship auction, the Ottoman Turkish Empire bought the battlecruisers ''Von der Tann'' and ''Leopold'', as well as the ''Ostfriend'' battleship. But now it seems that the Ottoman Turkish Empire is obviously not satisfied with these warships.


    Of course, this is not to say that these warships are not good, but thatpared with the warships bought by the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the naval strength of the Ottoman Turkish Empire seems too weak. It can be said that if the Ottoman Turkish Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire went to war, their navy would probably have to hide in the ck Sea, and they would not even have the courage to go out of the strait and enter the Mediterranean Sea.


    The current Ottoman Turkish Empire, although it has fallen. But they don''t want to be suppressed too much. This is especially the case when the Austro-Hungarian Empire is pressing harder and harder on the Balkan Penins.


    Since the Ottoman Turkish Empire intends to strengthen their naval strength, Germany will of course help them. Although, this will bring the naval strength of the Ottoman Turkish Empire to a higher level. This makes the situation in the Mediterranean moreplicated. However, this is also very beneficial to Germany. After the rapid rise of the Austro-Hungarian Navy, the German Navy''s Mediterranean Fleet could not control the entire Mediterranean in a short period of time. At this time, if the Ottoman Turkish Empire can confront the Austro-Hungarian Empire, this will allow the German Navy''s Mediterranean Fleet to gain more time for development.


    "Yes, Your Majesty!" Marshal Reinhard Scheer nodded.


    "Your Majesty, the Imperial Navy''s Mediterranean Fleet has entered the Mediterranean Sea. However, there is currently no suitable military port. We are building military ports in Corsica and Sicily. But in a short period of time, they will not be able to move in. The fleet is currently only staying in the Inside the civilian port. This is very detrimental to the safety of the fleet." Admiral Reinhard Scheer continued.


    Qin Tian nodded, the military port of the fleet is different from the general civilian port. Not only to build fortifications, but also to build a variety of military buildings, such as ammunition depots, oil depots,mand centers, barracks and so on. The German Navy has begun to build military ports on Sicily and Corsica. However, there is still some time before the military port is put into use. Although the war will not start for a while, it would be great if the Mediterranean Fleet can obtain a military port as soon as possible.


    "What does the Navy think?" Qin Tian asked.


    "Your Majesty, isn''t there a ready-made military port in the Mediterranean Sea? If we win it, the Mediterranean Fleet will be able to enter immediately. Moreover, the geographical location is very good, and it has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times!" Reinhardt said. ? Marshal Scheer said.


    "You mean Gibraltar?" Qin Tian asked.


    "Yes, Your Majesty. Gibraltar is still in the hands of the British. However, the British have not deployed a fleet there. At present, only a small number of troops control the entire Gibraltar fortress. If we dispatch the fleet and marines to attack, It can definitely be taken down. Taking down the Gibraltar fortress will give the Mediterranean Fleet an ideal military port, and at the same time, we will be able to guard the traffic arteries of the Mediterranean Sea." Marshal Reinhard Scheer said.
