The Joint Communiqué of the Group of Allies was released and immediately sent back to the Forbidden City.

Li Weiguo was a little surprised when he looked at the report in his hand. Unexpectedly, the Alliance Group successfully broke through the key technologies of steam turbines and mastered the 381mm 50-diameter main gun barrel processing technology.

"Have the message been verified?"

"Report to Your Majesty, our intelligence personnel report that the Allies strictly keep it confidential this time, and our personnel cannot go deep into the shipyards or the ministries of naval ships in various countries, and cannot access documents!"

Li Weiguo frowned slightly. This was the first time that the China God Escape Bureau had hit a wall. It seemed that the Allies had realized the threat of intelligence war and strengthened the confidentiality in this regard.

"So, the communiqué issued by the Allies cannot be fully trusted, as there may be moisture in it!"

Tang Jianzhang replied: "Your Majesty, it is better to believe that it has than to believe that it has nothing. This is the safest judgment!"

At this stage, the time when the Allies and allies are most nervous. No matter which country, they will adopt the safest tactics and do not allow any military adventure. Once the judgment is made, the result will be disastrous.

Li Weiguo is now a big family and has a great career, so he has become cautious instinctively.

Without the support of definite intelligence, we can only believe that the Allies are indeed capable of building super fearless battleships.

"I originally thought that our super fearless battleship technology was at least five years ahead, but now it seems that we are underestimating European and American countries."

"It is my dereliction of duty, and I have not obtained the exact information, so I cannot share your worries!"

Tang Jianzhang hurriedly accused him of guilt.

Li Weiguo smiled and said, "You don't have to blame yourself. Intelligence war itself has limitations. It is impossible for us to control all the enemy's intelligence. Otherwise, there would be no enemy in this world, and it would have been unified long ago."

Tang Jianzhang asked: "How does Your Majesty plan to deal with it? Allied countries plan to start construction of 16 super-defying battleships this time. The Netherlands and Portugal have also allocated two fearless battleships. The Allied countries' main battleships will be added 20!"

Li Weiguo was not afraid and laughed, "This is exactly the result we expected! We will build a super fearless battleship with a cost of up to 20 million yuan. If the Allies follow the construction, the cost will be at least 20% higher than that of us. The more they build, the heavier the economic burden on their economy and the heavier the losses in the future."

Tang Jianzhang always had a question in his mind, and couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, aren't you worried that the Allied Navy will be stronger than the Imperial Navy? What if the Imperial Navy is not an opponent, will your Majesty have a way to turn the situation around?"

Li Weiguo was so happy. Not only Tang Jianzhang, but other civil and military ministers always had this idea. They asked Li Weiguo more than once, wanting to use Li Weiguo's killer tricks.

These people are very curious, but Li Weiguo will not tell them.

"Even if the Allied Navy builds ten thousand super fearless battleships in one go, I have a way to destroy them, but I don't want to tell you now, so you are proud and arrogant."

Tang Jianzhang immediately smiled bitterly, but he didn't dare to ask again.

Not long after the Allied Summit, the Allied Summit was also held.

This time, the venue was not in Beijing, but in Constantinople.

The reason why it was placed in Constantinople was to make the Ottoman Empire feel its importance. Both the Chinese Empire and the German Empire attached great importance to the Ottoman Empire.

Of course, the Allies held summits very targeted.

The goal is to directly target the Allied Summit. The Allied Powers cannot be the leader, and the Allied Powers must also establish an influence all over the world.

This time, in addition to the four official member states of the Chinese Empire, the German Empire, the Ottoman Empire, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the three countries will attend the attendance meeting as observer countries at the invitation of the Chinese Empire, the Brazilian Empire, the United States of Colombia, and the Kingdom of Italy.

The Chinese Empire and the German Empire were both willing to win over these three countries to join the Allied Group, among which the Chinese Empire supported the joining of Colombia and Brazil, so that the Chinese Empire would have allies on the American continent and deal with America together.

The German Empire hoped that Italy would join, so that the German Empire would not have to be attacked from both sides in Europe. If Italy restrained the French Empire, it could reduce the pressure on the German Empire. In addition, Italy was a Mediterranean country. Among the allies, the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Turkish Empire in the Mediterranean were not as powerful as the French Empire's naval force. If the Italian Navy joined, it would relieve a lot of pressure and share the threat of the British and French navies.

Since the Allied Summit was more than ten days later than the Allied States, the member states could fully mobilize their own intelligence personnel to investigate their respective hostile countries, and then submit the problem to the Allied Summit and hand it over to the member states to find a way to solve it collectively.

Although the Allied Summit targeted the super-defying battleships of the Chinese Empire, the member states of the Allied built a total of 16 super-defying battleships and four fearless battleships, which could not threaten the Chinese Empire for the time being. Instead, they posed an imminent strategic threat to the German Empire navy in Europe.

Therefore, the Prime Minister of the German Empire, Bismarck, first raised Germany's maritime military threat, saying that the super fearless battleship plan of Britain, France and Russia posed a serious threat to the German Empire's navy, and hoped that the Chinese Empire could help solve it.

Previously, the Chinese Empire agreed to export four super fearless battleships to Colombia, which made the members of all alliances very envious.

Bismarck proposed this time, intending to ask the Chinese Empire for the acquisition of super-defying battleships. Even if the Chinese Empire does not provide technology, at least it will help the German Empire navy build super-defying battleships.

Wang Kaitai, the Prime Minister of the Chinese Empire, attended the summit. Wang Kaitai said that he could understand Bismarck's idea and was willing to help the German Empire obtain super fearless battleships.

Wang Kaitai said that in principle, the Chinese Empire does not oppose the export of the most advanced weapons and equipment to the member states of the allied countries, but considering the concerns of countries about the confidentiality of advanced weapons systems, the Chinese Empire will not directly provide technology, but countries can obtain licenses to purchase finished weapons and equipment from the Chinese Empire.

To put it bluntly, countries need to pay money to purchase from the Chinese Empire.

This is not only for the German Empire, but also for other member states of the Allied States. Even observer countries can obtain advanced weapons and equipment from the Chinese Empire without harming the interests of the Allied States.

The representatives of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Ottoman Empire, the Kingdom of Italy, and the United States of Colombia applauded happily. They all liked the advanced weapons and equipment of the Chinese Empire, especially the United States of Colombia. Recently, they all had all kinds of Chinese equipment. The entire team was changing clothes, using the weapons and equipment of the Chinese Empire, training with the instructors of the Chinese Empire, using the military organization of the Chinese Empire, and even the Colombian army collectively tutoring Chinese. They completely followed the power of the Chinese Empire. Once fully built, they would become a world-class military power.

This made other members of the Allied States very envious, and they all hoped to localize the Colombian model and achieve leapfrog development of their respective military forces.

Especially the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Ottoman Empire, and the Kingdom of Italy, the military strength of these three countries can only be considered second-rate in the world, and it is still a big gap from the first-class German army, and it is even more different from the first-class Chinese Empire Shen Ce Army. Therefore, if it can obtain the full military support of the Chinese Empire, it is undoubtedly very happy.

Only Bismarck was smiling bitterly. He was not against it, but felt sorry for money.

The Chinese Empire is a pit!

Specializing in cheating allies' money!

The German Empire has a deep understanding of this.

In those days, the German Empire navy happily ordered the world's most advanced ironclad ships from the Chinese Empire. As a result, a few years later, the Chinese Empire launched the former fearless battleship, making the ironclad ships obsolete overnight. Since then, there have been dreadnoughts instead of the former fearless ships, armored cruisers instead of guardless cruisers, battleships instead of armored cruisers, etc. The German Empire navy is not afraid of.

Of course, it not only deceived the German Empire's navy, but also deceived the navies of all countries around the world.

However, for the German Empire, he did not want to be cheated by his allies!

At least the Chinese Empire should say hello to its allies in advance so that they will not cheat them together!

Now the Chinese Empire has launched the Super Fearless Battleship, which will replace the Dreadless Battleship. God knows whether the Chinese Empire will have another killer weapon in a few years to replace the Super Fearless Battleship.

Whenever the Chinese Empire has stronger killer weapons and equipment, it will sell second-level weapons and equipment to other countries.

Now the Chinese Empire is willing to sell the Super Fearless Battleship to Colombia, which shows that the Chinese Empire also has killer weapons and equipment that can restrain or suppress the Super Fearless Battleship.

Bismarck feels sore whenever he thinks of this.

However, if you want to take the Chinese Empire, even if you feel hurt when you walk, you have to keep going!

The question raised by Bismarck is the maritime military threat faced by the member states of allies.

The Chinese Empire's navy is not afraid. It still under the banner of "freedom of navigation" in all seas around the world. Neither the surrounding countries dare to provoke it. Even the navy of the Allied Powers will infringe on its territorial waters (the country's maximum range of coastal artillery fire), all countries will basically tolerate it.

As for the navies of other allied countries, there is no such treatment. Both sides are hostile. Once they approach the waters where the other side's sphere of influence are located, they will be intercepted by the navy of the Allied countries. Serious military confrontations often occur, and it is easy to get fire.

Therefore, the navies of the member states of the Allied States urgently need to obtain the super fearless battleship technology of the Chinese Empire. Even if they cannot obtain the technology, they can at least be customized in the Chinese Empire, and even if they spend more money, they will recognize it.

"Relax, our Chinese Empire has the most advanced shipbuilding technology in the world. Eight of the top ten shipyards in the world are in the territory of the Chinese Empire. We not only have the ability to build super fearless battleships for our own navy, but also have the ability to build for allies. Don't worry about this."

Wang Kaitai smiled slightly and added: "In addition, we have decided to transfer the six fearless battleships built by the French Empire and the Tsarist Russian Empire in our country to the Ottoman Navy and the Austro-Hungarian Navy at the original price."

The representatives of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Ottoman Empire were first happy and then smiled bitterly.

Fortunately, after several years of negotiations, the Chinese Empire finally gave up and was willing to transfer the two fearless battleships ordered by the Tsarist Russian Empire to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the other four fearless battleships built for the French Empire's naval to the Ottoman Turkish Empire.

Originally, the Chinese Empire had a high price, but as the Chinese Empire started construction of super fearless battleships, the quotation of the fearless battleships naturally had to be lowered a little. In the end, considering the ally between the Ottoman Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Chinese Empire, the two countries were relatively poor and could not afford too much silver, so they finally sold them to the two countries for a cost price.

Everyone knows that even if you sell it at a cost price, the Chinese Empire will make a lot of money.

After all, the French Empire and the Tsarist Russian Empire both paid 90% of the construction costs, and the Chinese Empire has not yet returned this money to both countries. Just like the J-8 aircraft that America trapped China in the 21st century, it refused to return more than one billion US dollars, which is a typical bully.

In this life, under the leadership of Li Weiguo, the Chinese Empire was preparing to take revenge on the United States. They originally planned to cheat America, but America did not take the trap. In the end, France and Tsarist Russia were cheated and tens of millions of yuan were cheated. Neither France nor Russia had the money as rich as the United States, and these tens of millions of yuan really made them miserable.

Now, the Chinese Empire has transferred the fearless battleships of France and Russia to the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Ottoman Empire at a cost price. If they go out, France and Russia will probably be so angry that they will hit the wall.

The Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Ottoman Empire were still very happy. After all, buying fearless battleships at cost is enough for their own coastal defense.

Neither the Austro-Hungarian Empire nor the Ottoman Empire had money, but the German Empire had money. The former could only buy second-hand fearless battleships from the Chinese Empire, while the German Empire ordered super fearless battleships from the Chinese Empire.

In fact, the German Empire also wanted to build it itself, but this time the Chinese Empire did not share more advanced steam turbine technology. At the same time, the 381mm 50-caliber main gun cannot be built. At present, the German Empire* factory cannot be built, so it can only be imported from the Chinese Empire.

The most critical point is that the German Empire's large shipyards were limited, and the number of large docks was even limited. When the Chinese Empire started construction of super fearless battleships two years ago, the German Empire found that they did not have a 40,000-ton dock, and even if they wanted to build it themselves, they could not make it.

Now two years have passed. Although the 40,000-ton dock has been built, the relevant supporting equipment has not been improved. For example, the gantry crane used to hoist core equipment and main gun equipment. When it comes to the super fearless battleship, the weight of a triple main gun turret alone is as high as 2,000 tons, and an ultra-large gantry crane is required to hoist.

Since the Chinese Empire was prepared for a long time, only the Chinese Empire could build the largest gantry crane in the world.

The German Empire ordered four large gantry cranes that could lift 3,000 tons of equipment from the Chinese Empire, but the Chinese Empire always delayed it. In fact, it deliberately made the destiny of the empire and did not give them gantry cranes. Even if the German Empire had a 40,000-ton dock, it could not build super fearless battleships, forcing the German Empire to spend money to order super fearless battleships from the Chinese Empire.

Bismarck doesn't want to mention the stories behind these, but he burst into tears!

In the end, after repeated negotiations between Bismarck and Wang Kaitai, a new military purchase order was finalized.

The German Empire Navy paid 320 million gold marks to the Chinese Empire, equivalent to 90 million yuan, to purchase four Thor improved super-fair battleships, as well as related supporting facilities, including one-year free maintenance service, one-base ammunition, 4 and 381mm main gun backup barrels, etc.

Although it is an improved Thor, it is actually just a reduced performance version of the Thor-class battleship used by the Chinese Empire, which is slightly better than the one built by the Chinese Empire for the Colombian Navy. It is for the sake of the Germans spending money.

However, it is also very scammed. For example, a free maintenance service in one year. It seems that the Chinese Empire has already made great discounts. After all, it only costs millions of RMB to repair a super fearless battleship. However, if the distance between Germany and the Chinese Empire is included, you will know. It will take several months to drive back to Germany from the Chinese Empire to accept warships, and it will take more than half a year to travel back to Germany. In the remaining half a year, the warships will hardly have any problems. Even if there are some minor problems, will the German Empire Navy take half a year to drive to the Chinese Empire for repair?

Obviously it is impossible!

So it's a scam!

However, the Chinese Empire could not make German friends too disappointed, so after the two sides signed the ship purchase contract, the Chinese Empire immediately released the export of the gantry crane to the German Empire.

In this way, after the German Imperial Navy obtained a large gantry crane, it could build its own super fearless battleship.

Of course, key equipment such as steam turbines and main gun barrels must be imported from the Chinese Empire at a high price.

Even so, it is quite cost-effective to build a super fearless battleship of the same level by the German Empire itself, which is about one-third less expensive than that of the Chinese Empire.

In addition to the main battleships, countries also need a large number of auxiliary battleships.

The Allies carried out allocated tasks for the number of auxiliary warships and tonnage of the Allies, most of which were undertaken by the Chinese Empire and the German Empire, after all, these two countries have strong financial resources.

The German Empire was under great pressure, after all, it had to face the threat from the navy of Britain, France and Russia.
