Compared with the maintenance costs of warships, the navy's salary is simply insignificant. When you keep a navy without a ship, you have to pay a salary (the inland fleet is caught in the shooting), even if you find a difficult country, you have to pay a salary. Going to sea means an extra subsidy for going to sea.

Moreover, the main income of the navy is not salary but a wide range of wealth. You should know that a great country's navy always has to visit or escort abroad. This represents the face of a country. Every time you go to sea, you can bring some local specialties and buy them at least, and you will get a few times or dozens of times the profit. This is also the practice of the navy. Just turn a blind eye and understand it in your heart.

The Ministry of Military Affairs of Peking and Nanjing were thinking very well. While selling a Zhongshan-class battleship at a high price, they bought a Zhongshan-class battleship at a low price to earn the profits in the middle while calming down bad public opinion among the people and the navy.

Jin Batian was very pleased that the Zhongtian family could still actively buy ships after the war, and finally did not waste his energy. In fact, the symbolic significance of the iron-armored battleship at this time was far greater than its combat effectiveness at sea. It is reasonable that the people's voices against the selling of ships were rising.

What is the most feared by an arms dealer? If there is any, it is world peace. After world peace, a large number of ships will be retired, and it is even more delusional to build new ships. What Jin Batian has to do now is to add fuel to the fire and show off his next show in the 1930s, the most glorious battleship. Even on the train back to Beijing, Jin Batian would get a lot of benefits before and during World War II. He accidentally calculated again how many houses he could buy and how many opera troupes he could raise.

Why do we need to raise an opera troupe? As a newcomer who has been caught by material civilization and spiritual civilization, we must of course be strong when we catch both hands.

When Jin Batian returned to Peiping, he once again guaranteed that the Nanyang Military Union would provide a Zhongshan-class battleship within five to six days. The newspaper wind direction of the next day changed. Of course, the Nanjing government would not say that it would not sell the ships, but that the Central Navy would maintain the scale of the two Zhongshan-class battleship formations in peacetime to deal with various emergencies.

This is naturally the public opinion and the government compromised, but in fact the government set the scale for the navy. When the first Zhongshan-class battleship was in place, the naval officers and soldiers who had not bought new ships for more than ten years had rolled on the deck after boarding the ship. When the second Zhongshan-class battleship was in place, the Japanese surrendered without fighting, and the morale of the army and the people reached a peak.

However, there are still very few people who know how to be content. Nanjing believes that the ship was bought from the state's debt (it is still in installments), so it is naturally entitled to be sold after the war. However, the news leaked a little and was subjected to a large wave of opposition. The principal's reaction was naturally that he was not in charge of his family and did not know that the firewood and rice were expensive.

Nothing can be done at any time. Of course, the principal also wants to have as much battleships and aircraft carriers as much as they want (Jin Batian is caught in the gun). Naval officers and soldiers can be trained, but money will not fall from the sky. In order to limit the navy, which is in the expansion period, the principal has to limit the size of the navy in a tactful way.

Six days later, Qingdao.

As the third transaction, this time it included a three-party transaction between the two countries. Jin Batian also arrived at the scene as one of the members of the Northern Bureau. Speaking of which, Jin Batian also saw the Zhongshan-class battleship for the first time in the picture album.

The first personnel of the Zhongshan battleship to be served were transferred to the new Zhongshan with their personal belongings, while the Hans were busy painting the paint with the words "Zhongshan" and changing it to "Bismar". This was originally used as the name of the first Hans' new battleship, which was moved here because it was already behind on the drawings. After all, the name of the Iron-blooded Prime Minister is worthy of this super battleship.

This time, a group of staff advisers who were preparing to return to the country were more than 300 who could only control the ship and return home and could not exert all combat effectiveness. At the same time, those who boarded the ship were international students who went to Hans' home, including 50 navy, 150 army, and 500 students from each science. These 700 international students will learn German and simple etiquette during several months of voyage.

After boarding the Bismarck, the temporary fleet commander of the Hans family, said: "Although it is not the first time I have seen her, I still want to say that she is really beautiful. One hundred and sixty million marks (equivalent to eighty million oceans) is very suitable for her value. Even being her temporary commander is my honor, and this will be recorded in my diary to become the most glorious moment in my life."

Although Chen Shaokuan, as the captain, had changed into a brand new ship, he was still a little reluctant to leave the place where he had lived and fought. When he finally got off the ship, he politely embraced the temporary commander of the Bismarck: "The friendship between the two countries will last forever."

"Friendship lasts forever."

This time, the Hans family completed the ship transaction of 80 million foreign countries with one-quarter of cash and three-quarters of the goods, which means that Jin Batian will continue to wait for installments. Jin Batian came this time, in addition to watching the ceremony, he also brought a questionnaire, which was to be an after-sales service staff, symbolically asked if there was any improvement in the ship.

In fact, the space in Jinbatian's dock is limited (100,000 tons). If there is no buyer, the 100,000 tons of ship assembly line will automatically stop production due to the full warehouse. This is of course a scene that no businessman wants to see. The factory product backlog of assembly line is shut down, which means that a steady stream of small money will be cut off.

However, the naval officers and soldiers did not solve the problem of Jin Batian. In addition to agreeing, such as adding a collision angle - do you think it was still a medieval naval battle (the Dingyuan was caught in the gun), etc. are all boring suggestions.

Looking at the ship's departure and the boring suggestions list, Jin Batian thought: Could it be that he really wants to play military reform and civilians? Then the Shanghai shipyard will be closed. He is not here to crack down on national industries. As for fishing boats, don't even think about it, it is better to protect the offshore fishery.

An old farmer who drove cattle looked into the direction of the ship leaving the distance and said to himself: "Be good, how much steel does this ship have to use."

This reminds Jin Batian on the side: Yes, we can sell materials directly. Now, it is not like when I came back. A large steel mill produces tens of millions or hundreds of millions of tons of steel every year. The whole country only produces tens of thousands of tons of steel and hundreds of thousands of tons of iron every year. It should be a good idea to dismantle the ship. There are various diesel units, generator sets and turbine units on the ship, even magnet telephone lines and telegraph machines. These should be very popular goods. With a standard displacement of 10,000 tons, thousands of tons of steel plates, you can remove tens of eight ships a year. Demolition of tens of eight ships a year is equivalent to double the national steel production. If you sell the surplus steel ingots from the refinery, it seems that there are still sales channels, but your own thoughts are rigid.

Turning on the system, Jin Batian canceled all assembly lines outside the Zhongshan-class battleships and changed to producing alternative battleships. The newly designed 10,000-ton battleship steel plate is only two millimeters thin, which is not even able to withstand the puncture of the diamondfish. The bridge is just a two-meter-high rectangular double-layer iron plate box. In addition to loading the maximum number of diesel engines, generators and steam turbines, there are multiple magnet telephones and radio stations.

Ten days later, a newly opened Limin Shipbuilding Factory in Tanggu District, Tianjin welcomed its first customer. A specially made 10,000-ton ship sailed into the simple dock of Limin Shipbuilding Factory. The reason why the ship did not sink halfway is because it did not go out of the sea and the three-story interior compartment.
