To be honest, the Chinese Navy does not attach much importance to the "Queen Elizabeth" battleship and the "Massachusetts" battleship! Although these two battleships are equipped with 381mm main guns, their real combat power is the Tang-class of the Chinese Navy.

'There are still quite a gap between battleships. Even the Chinese Navy's "Hanxin-class" fast battleships have the strength to fight with these two battleships. Of course, the prerequisite is to conduct artillery battles at a long distance, and China

The Navy's "Hanxin-class" battleship can only exert its advantages in shelling accuracy! Otherwise, if you fight at close range, the armor of the "Hanxin-class" fast battleship will not be able to withstand the shelling of 381mm armor-piercing bombs!

In addition, Marshal Li Dingxin is now the deputy minister of the Chinese Navy and will be promoted to the Navy in the future. Naturally, he knows that the core of the future development of the Chinese Navy is the aircraft carrier fleet. He also knows that battleships will inevitably be eliminated. However, in a specific environment,

Battleships still have an irreplaceable role! Although the Austro-Hungarian Empire is now increasingly close with China, it is not China's most determined ally. If two powerful battleships are sold to them, it may be for China to

Interests around the Mediterranean have adverse effects!

"God of General, the Chinese Navy has no plans to sell these two battleships yet! Moreover, these two battleships are of great importance and I cannot make a decision. I have to ask Lord Zhang for instructions!" Marshal Li Dingxin said.

"Okay, Mr. Marshal. However, please tell Mr. Marshal Zhang Cheng that we are very sincere!" Major General Lucart said!

Then, Marshal Li Dingxin whispered a few words to an officer who was keeping the meeting minutes beside him. The officer nodded and quickly left the conference room, obviously going to report to Marshal Zhang Cheng, the Minister of Navy!

"His Ambassador, General! In addition to the battleships of the Queen Elizabeth and the battleships of the Massachusetts, we also have many super battleships equipped with 343 mm main guns! The power of these battleships is also very good, if the Austro-Hungarian Empire wants to buy them

If so, we can sell you a batch!" Marshal Li Dingxin said!

"Oh? Then would we be fine if we want to buy the 'Hanxin-class' battleship and the 'Han-class' battleship?" asked Ambassador Anton Huber.

Marshal Li Dingxin shook his head and said, "The Han Xin-class battleship and the Han-class battleship are no longer available for sale! However, if it is ten years later, it may be sold to the outside world!"

, it is still the main battleship of the Chinese Navy, with many advanced technologies on it. If obtained by the enemy country, it will pose a certain threat to China. Therefore, the Chinese Navy will not sell these two battleships for the time being, unless it is ten more.

In 2019, China may not sell these two battleships until these technologies are lagging behind!

Major General Lucart had such an expression. He knew that although the British Navy's "Orion-class" battleship, the British King George V-class battleship and the "Iron Duke-class" battleship were known as the "Han-class" battleship of the Chinese Navy.

And the battleship of the Hanxin-class battleship of one level, but in fact, the gap is still quite large. Even the most powerful battleship of the Iron Duke-class battleship is different from the Chinese Navy's Han-class battleship,

Not to mention the 'Hanxin-class' battleship!

"Marson, then, how are these super battleships priced?" asked Major General Lucater. The navy of the Austro-Hungarian Empire was too weak. Even these battleships that China didn't like were worthy of, they needed them!

"The British Navy's 'Orion-class' battleship and the US Navy's 'Wyoming-class' battleship, priced at 10 million yuan per ship! The British Navy's 'British King George V-class' battleship and the US Navy's 'New York-class' battleship

, the price is 13 million Chinese Yuan per ship! The British Navy's "Iron Duke-class" battleship and the US Navy's "Nevada-class" battleship, 16 million Chinese Yuan per ship!" Marshal Li Dingxin said!

"Marson, this price is too expensive, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire cannot accept it!" Major General Lukat immediately shook his head. Although the Austro-Hungarian Empire did not know how much the cost of the Chinese Navy's 'Han-class' battleship, they generally estimated that

It was about 15 million yuan! These second-hand battleships were so expensive that they couldn't accept it!

"Major General, this price is very reasonable! These battleships are new battleships that have only been in service for two or three years. Even if they are damaged in the war, they have been repaired, just like new ones! The performance of these battleships

, It is totally worth the price!" Marshal Li Dingxin said! These battleships can be regarded as powerful battleships. Even if China does not need them much, it is impossible for the Austro-Hungarian Empire to buy them without some blood!

Major General Lucart shook his head. He didn't think these battleships were worth this price!

At this time, Marshal Zhang Cheng, the Minister of Navy, entered the office with a smile on his face. This time, the navy's warships were sold so easily, in exchange for more than 200 million yuan in funds, which made him very satisfied!

"Hello, Marshal!" The Austrian-Hungarian Ambassador Anton Huber and Major General Lukat quickly stood up to say hello. You should know that the Chinese Navy Minister Marshal Zhang Cheng's position in the Chinese army is very high, almost

He can be regarded as the third or fourth person.

"Hello everyone, let's sit down!" Marshal Zhang Cheng said with a smile.

"Marcel, what happy things have happened? I'm smiling like this?" Marshal Li Dingxin also said with a smile.

"Well! That's right. So far, all the warships we decided to sell have been sold! None of them are left. And, all the super battleships have been sold!" Marshal Zhang Cheng said!

"What? It's sold so quickly?" Marshal Li Dingxin was also shocked. He was worried that these second-hand warships would not be sold much. But now it seems that his previous worries were completely redundant!

Major General Lucart and Ambassador Anton Huber were also completely stunned. This time the Chinese Navy took out hundreds of warships! But in less than an hour, they were all sold out. This is really amazing!

"Marson Marshal, is this true? Why is this happening?" Major General Lucart asked with some doubts!

"Of course it's true! The Ottoman Turkish Empire, Saudi Kingdom, Chile, Mexico, Colombia, Brazil, Romania and Bulgaria all ordered warships from us, and they bought a lot, so they were sold out soon!

Especially the Ottoman Turkish Empire and the Saudi Kingdom, they also purchased super battleships! Among them, the Ottoman Turkish Empire bought three ships, namely the Thor in the "Orion-class" battleship and the "Wyoming-class" battleships.

The No. 'Louisiana' said Marshal Zhang Cheng!

"His Excellency Marshal, congratulations. It seems that this Chinese Navy warship sales conference was a great success!" said Ambassador Anton Huber!

"The warships we sell are of high quality and low price, and everyone is rushing to ask for them. Some countries that are too late have not yet obtained them! I wonder, when will we hold another sales conference like this?" Zhang

Marshal Cheng smiled!

However, Major General Lucart and Ambassador Anton Huber's faces became much heavier! Before, they thought that not many countries would buy these second-hand warships, so they could take the opportunity to lower the price. However, they did not expect the Chinese Navy's

These second-hand warships would be so popular. What worries them the most is that the Ottoman Turkish Navy purchased three super battleships, and if other battleships were added, this would make the Ottoman Turkish Empire's naval strength surpass that of the Austro-Hungarian Navy.

You know, the Ottoman Turkish Empire has always been regarded as the sick man of West Asia. If their navy surpassed the Austro-Hungarian Navy, where would this make the Austro-Hungarian Empire stand?

"Two marshals, the Austro-Hungarian Empire is also very sincere this time. We sincerely hope to cooperate with China in naval cooperation! However, the price given by your country is too expensive!" Major General Lucart said!

Marshal Zhang Cheng nodded and said, "This is how, the 'English King George V-class' battleship and the 'New York-class' battleship, for sale price of 11 million Huayuan, the 'Iron Duke-class' battleship and the 'Nevada'

The price of the Class' battleship is 14 million Chinese Yuan! This is our bottom line! If the Austro-Hungarian Empire can accept it, then we can reach an agreement!"

Major General Lukater hesitated for a moment. Such a price was somewhat beyond the budget of the Austro-Hungarian Empire! But he also knew that it was already a seller's market. If the Austro-Hungarian Empire had to cut prices, the Chinese side would definitely not agree!

"Marson, the Austro-Hungarian Empire agreed to purchase the battleships in your country at this price! Among them, we want four battleships of the "Iron Duke-class"! We also want two battleships of the "English King George V"! However,

We still have one more condition, and I hope your country can agree!" Major General Lucart said.

"There are only one battleship left in King George V class of Britain, and the other two were sold to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. However, there is also a "New York-class" battleship Texas, which has almost the performance of the British

King George V-class battleship is the same! If your country wants it, you can sell it to you!" Marshal Zhang Cheng said!

Major General Lukater nodded. Now the Austro-Hungarian Empire is no longer qualified to be picky!

"So, what are your conditions?" asked Marshal Zhang Cheng.

"The Austro-Hungarian Empire hopes to buy the battleships of Queen Elizabeth and the battleships of Massachusetts! In addition, we hope that China can build two 'Five-Yue Class' aircraft carriers for us!" Major General Lucart said! (To be continued. Please search
