    Large heavy cruiser?

    Actually, it is better to say that it is a battlecruiser with thickened armor.  {./Book friends upload updates}

    Two years later, the whole world will reflect on whether the existence of battlecruisers is necessary, but in Yang Qiu's eyes, battlecruisers are very suitable for him.  In the tragic North Sea and Atlantic environment, the battle cruiser will be weakened a lot, and the mistakes of the commanders have even caused the battle cruiser to become a flash in the pan.  However, in the vast Pacific Ocean, due to factors such as the far distance between the naval bases of various countries and the slow dispatch of battleships, the fast battle cruisers are more effective.  To put it simply, "Those who can catch up cannot be beaten, and those who can be beaten cannot catch up."

    Of course, Yang Qiu never wanted a model similar to the King Kong-class with more than 20,000 tons but only 203 mm of vertical armor, so he thought of the Alaska-class large cruiser in the parallel world that was also born at the wrong time.  It's just that it's a fantasy to build an Alaska class now. Not to mention electronics and power, the mk8 triple-mounted 305mm naval gun that countless BB fans can't forget is not achievable with current technology, and the ship type is even more impossible. The only thing that can  What is imitated is the armor distribution and layout.

    In addition, in order to ensure future modification needs, Yang Qiu also put forward higher requirements for Shen Redundancy.

    Of course, Hangel couldn't give an immediate answer. Even a layman could roughly calculate that according to these requirements, the standard displacement of a battleship is likely to exceed 23,000 tons.  To make matters worse, the requirement of a speed of 27 knots must be ensured. You must know that the biggest problem of American battleships is power. Due to insufficient technical reserves of boilers and steam turbines, even they cannot build a fast battlecruiser comparable to the King Kong class, so whether they can start from it.  Obtaining relevant technology in the hands of Britain and France will determine whether this big deal can be completed.  Although his outstanding work over the past two years has brought valuable benefits to the United States.  He also pried open a huge market with a population of more than 400 million, but this did not make him arrogant. Instead, as Yang Qiu and China gradually changed, he became a little cautious, so he only agreed to send the information back to the country first.  As for whether it can meet the standards and construction, we must wait for a clear response from the country.

    In addition to waiting for a reply from the United States, Yang Qiu also purchased an additional 12 Sea Wolf-1 submarines from Jiangnan Factory to ensure that it will have 18 submarines by the end of 2016.

    When Yang Qiu worked hard to strengthen the navy and prepare for five years later, the official residence of the Japanese Prime Minister's Office was also full of people.  Everyone including Inukai Takeshi and Takahashi Korekiyo and others were all present. Although they all advocated peace talks to end the war, they could not help but feel angry from the bottom of their hearts in the face of the harsh Min Hachijo.  Fortunately, the politicians in the Taisho period were relatively wise, and even the military were not all paranoid and lunatic.  """ (.) finally made a decision after losing Jinzhou and Sinuiju successively and not getting any support from the international community.

    "Your Excellency Prime Minister"

    Takahashi Korekiyo bowed to Okuma Shigenobu, glanced at the calendar that had been turned to November 20, and watched the cabinet members speak in a low voice: "Our allies said. They have tried their best to obtain Taiwan's condominium  As a result, if they are unable to reach the final negotiation today, they will completely withdraw from mediation and terminate all previous commitments!¡±

    "I also think it should be over! There is still hope to obtain co-administration of Taiwan. If the UK withdraws from mediation and does not reduce debt, and confiscates German islands in Asia without distributing them, then our country's losses will be even greater!"

    "It is already winter, and the troops in Lushun are short of clothes and food. After the Pyongyang-Sinuiju railway was blown up, even the 20th Division could not be replenished. If it cannot be ended as soon as possible, the severe cold will make the losses even greater!"

    After you hit the mark, Okuma Shigenobu, who was at the desk, took out his pocket watch.  After checking the time, I picked up the revised eight-article civil contract and read it several times. The cabinet members around me were also staring intently.  I saw him picking up the pen and just about to put it down, but it froze in mid-air. He raised his head with tired eyes: "I heard that the Chinese have started to replenish the navy?"

    "Yes."

    Since the peace talks began, Takahashi Korekiyo realized that this was the only option, so he became a lot more active in the political arena.  He didn¡¯t want to hide it now, and said: ¡°The Chinese government has sent an inquiry to the United States. From the current situation, it should be two battlecruisers with 305mm main guns, but whether the order can be truly completed still requires the United Kingdom and the United States.  It can only be solved through negotiation. So I think we can block the deal through our allies. Of course, even if they get it, it will not be comparable to the King Kong class. Our navy still has a big advantage."

    ¡°But they have submarines!¡±

    "The French government has promised to deliver one of the latest submarines to our navy immediately after the contract is signed, and to help build five of the same model." Korekiyo Takahashi saw that Okuma Shigenobu was still struggling for his political future and continued.  : "Your Excellency, Prime Minister. With all due respect, the Empire of Japan can no longer bear the war. It is time to end and give the country a period of quiet development. Only by overcoming the current difficulties can the Empire continue on the road to prosperity and wealth.".  "

    Prosperity?  rich?  !

    After Yamagata Aritomo acquiesced, Riku Xiangoka Ichinosuke also realized that it must end, but he was still very dissatisfied in his heart. He snorted: "Is Takahashi-kun too optimistic? It is no longer possible for the Empire and China to coexist. Now they are constantly taking advantage of the opportunities of the European War.  Make money to develop their own industries. If they sign the agreement, they will have an unhindered development period, and the empire's dream of dominating Asia and co-prosperity will disappear! I still say what I said, our Ministry of War does not approve of this agreement."

    "You are still so arrogant even though you can't win the fight. You obviously have ulterior motives!"  Not to mention Takahashi Korekiyo, even Inukai Takeshi couldn't stand it, and snorted coldly: "Then don't sign it, your army can continue to fight! And don't ask for support from the empire."

    Inukai Takeshi has a high position, and a cold snort made Okaichi Nosuke lose his temper. No matter how crazy the army is, it cannot win without a nationwide mobilization.

    "I hope our descendants can understand that this contract is for the greater future of the empire." After the last voice disappeared, Okuma Shigenobu picked up the pen again.  At that moment, he only felt that the tip of the pen was heavy, his wrist was stiff, and his breathing was about to stop.  When I signed my name and the word "agree" on the final telegram, it felt as if all my strength had been drained away.  When he raised his head, several cold lights with murderous intent immediately locked onto him.  Okayama Nosuke and other radicals who disagreed with the signing were unwilling to leave.

    But Okuma Shigenobu could no longer think too much about these looks. He put down his pen and consoled himself by emphasizing: "Everyone, please remember that this is an armistice! It is not a final peace agreement. I hope everyone will work together to encourage each other and wait for the empire to come back again!"

    "Coordinates 210. Wind speed is resting"

    Outside Wugu City, 24 105mm Warhammer 14 howitzers sprayed out huge orange fireballs after adjusting their positions. A moment later, the surrounding areas of the Piziwo Manchu Army camp 10 kilometers away were filled with artillery shells, and there was a violent explosion.  The shock and shock made the Manchurian and Mongolian army look pale, but there was a large group of Japanese troops behind them and no one dared to run around. You must know that those Japanese were much more ruthless than the opposite, so they could only curl up and wait for the shelling to end.

    "Stand up. Get the hell up, prepare to fight!" Tang Jiyao waved his gun with a ferocious look on his face.  Intimidating the soldiers to get up and prepare.  A few months ago, he was confident that he would have a rematch with Yang Qiu to avenge Guangxi.  But I never expected that the enemy would be killed at the doorstep again before revenge was taken, and that the Japanese army, which had been arrogant in the past, would be defeated so quickly and miserably.  Except for Jinzhou, all the territory has been lost, and Shandong has lost more than 30,000 people in one go.

    Just when he was gritting his teeth and kicking and kicking to get those boneless banner soldiers to fight, the guards rushed to him and rolled around, shouting nervously: "Sir, Japanese Japanese  Run away!" "What!" Tang Jiyao quickly pushed aside the guards and looked back.  I saw that the Japanese army behind them began to retreat, leaving no flags behind. It was obvious that they had completely given up on the establishment of the Piziwoman camp.  Before he could figure out what was going on, the flag soldiers and bandits who had been frightened out of their wits and dared not move due to the pressure of the Japanese army rushed out of the trenches and fled backwards.

    No matter how capable Tang Jiyao was, he could not stop the mountains of defeated soldiers.  He quickly ran to the headquarters to ask what was going on.  But when they arrived, they found that Tie Liang and Zai Tao were packing their things, and Prince Su Shanqi found the former Qing Dynasty uniform from nowhere.  There are court beads hanging on the chest, and even the prince's hat inlaid with east beads is turned out and put on.  Sitting on the Grand Master's chair, his face looked ashen, and he refused to do anything to persuade the servants at his feet.  Next to him, Kawashima Satami saw that he was unwilling to leave, and shouted anxiously: "Prince, leave quickly! You can continue the great cause of restoring the country back to Japan, why sacrifice here?"

    Before Prince Su could speak, Tang Jiyao couldn't help but shouted: "What's going on? What's going on?"

    Seeing that he still didn't understand the situation, Zai Tao suddenly pointed at his nose and shouted: "Tang! Don't be so fucking hypocritical. Didn't you know that Japan surrendered? In my opinion, all of you Han people deserve to die."  ! They should all be killed."

    Japan surrendered?  Everyone in Tang Jiyao was stunned!  Looking directly at Kawashima Satami, the latter's face turned red and he tried to argue: "It's not a surrender! It's a temporary armistice. Sooner or later, the empire will return to Manchuria and Mongolia." Although he kept arguing that it was an armistice agreement, everyone still  I'm not a fool. With Japan's national strength, how could it possibly come back without the resources of Manchuria and Mongolia?  When he thought about his long journey to escape Japan, and after joining the Manchurian Army for revenge, he worked even harder. But in the end, this was the result. Tang Jiyao's emotions completely lost control. He cursed and yelled: "Son of a bitch! I knew it."  , you little Japanese are unreliable! He¡¯s the fucking emperor, he¡¯s worse than the pretty boy under the waistband of a bitch.¡±

    Kawashima Satami's face turned black after being scolded by him. It could be seen that the guards behind him did not dare to get angry, so he ignored Prince Su Shanqi. He glared at Tang Jiyao and walked out the door, but as soon as he stepped out,  When the gate was opened, a cannonball hit accuratelyCome down.  The violent explosion blew up the entire front yard, and two stones slid across Shanqi's face. The bloodshot eyes and pain made the old man who helped Yuan Shikai come to power, but regretted it and started to support the independence movement, closed his eyes.

    Under the guidance of a Haidongqing, hundreds of artillery shells killed Kawashima Satami, Shanqi and Tang Jiyao.  After a while, the last golden dragon flag on the flagpole in the center of the camp slowly fell down and turned into ashes.

    On November 20, the National Defense Forces broke through Piziwo, and the Manchu Army disappeared within four months of its establishment.

    On the same day, at the last moment before the end of the peace talks, Kato Takaaki, who received the telegram of instructions from the Prime Minister, and Wu Tingfang, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China, signed the "Eight Civil Articles" Sino-Japanese Armistice Treaty after British mediation and modification in Shanghai
