Chapter 321: Chapter 281: St Vincent-class battleship_3

Name:The Rise Of Australasia Author:
Arthur saw that King George V was very interested in the Monarch-class battleship and invited him to visit the Australasian Battleship.

This move won the favor of King George V, and Arthur joyed a warm relationship with him during his time in the British Empire.

Arthur took the opportunity to propose deeper cooperation with the British Empire in warships.

Specifically, Arthur was willing to exchange the blueprints and information of the Monarch-class battleship with the blueprints of the St Vinct-class battleship, which was currtly under construction in the UK, to strgth the warship design in Australasia.

This request from Arthur made King George V somewhat difficult.

The St Vinct-class battleship is an upgraded model of Bellerophon-class, with increased combat effectivess compared to the Dreadnought and Bellerophon-class battleships.

In terms of firearms, the St Vinct-class battleship is equipped with 305mm 50 caliber twin-gun, while the previous two dreadnoughts had a 305mm 45 caliber gun.

After all, Arthur is now the darling of the British public, and establishing a good relationship with Arthur is undoubtedly the right move.

In addition, Australasia is not without paymt. The Monarch-class battleship contains many German technologies, which also help Britain to better understand German technology.

Although King George V had already agreed to the deal in his heart, he did not make a direct promise but said he would try his best to discuss it with the Cabinet Governmt.

Arthur nodded in understanding. After all, King George V had not yet ascded the throne, and ev th, his influce in the Cabinet would not be too great in the short term.

It was up to the UK Cabinet Governmt to make the decision, but King George V's lack of opposition was a good indication.

After the negotiations, Arthur ordered Chief David to arrange for secret visits to some British Cabinet officials late at night.

Some officials had a good relationship with Duke Old Arthur, and after Arthur's operation, there should be a few who would support him.

As long as a quarter of the Cabinet officials directly support him, Arthur is confidt that the deal can be reached.
