    Shortly after Song Ziqing left, Cheng Biguang led Hakan to knock on the Yang family door again.

    Two years ago, Yang Qiu promised to start building battleships after Li Yuanhong was re-elected for the third time. So the navy was eagerly counting its fingers to wait until today, so it couldn't wait to "force the palace" with the new five-year naval plan.  This obsession with battleships really gives Yang Qiu a headache. Although he knows very well that aircraft carriers will replace battleships as the maritime hegemon, in this era, even the most open-minded United States still cannot get rid of the big-ship and cannon mentality, let alone China, which is just starting to build.  Navy people.

    He glanced at Cheng Biguang and Hakan: "Has the model been chosen?"

    "Heavy patrols and light patrols are no problem." Cheng Biguang, unlike Sa Zhenbing, did not dare to show his seniority in front of Yang Qiu, so when he submitted the plan, he did not forget to drag along Hakan, whom he had a close friendship with: "General Hakan  Played a key role in selection.¡±

    The plan is well done, well organized and well thought out, and very detailed from the start date to model development.

    The four heavy cruisers to be built in 1927 are smaller versions of the Taiwan Island class.  The naval gun is the same, the standard displacement is slightly higher than 10,530 tons, the full load is 12,970 tons, it can carry 2 aircraft, the speed is 32 knots, and the endurance is 15 knots/10,000 nautical miles.  Protection I didn't look at it directly. I didn't even look at the protection of the Treaty Heavy Cruiser. It was nothing more than continuing to improve the German watertight cabin design to make it more redundant.

    Light Cruiser The Navy plans to build two 10,000-ton light cruisers first. The ship type is similar to the Taiwan Island class. In terms of firepower, since the Washington Naval Treaty stipulates that a single warship cannot have more than 10 155mm naval guns, the Navy uses 3223 piggy-back naval guns in an ingenious way.  layout.  However, the size of the gun mounts and the internal equipment of the two twin 155mm turrets are arranged as triples, so that they can be immediately changed to four triple 155mm naval guns if necessary in the future.  It seems that the Navy is not stupid Yang Qiu, the destroyer at the back, just turned over it a little and thought of designing and installing the twin turrets according to the triple turret. This alone shows that the Navy has initially grasped the pulse of the times, so  He didn't make any comments, but instead mentioned that small warships should be used to hone welding technical capabilities and experiment with fully welded ships.

    "The battleship still has some problems." Yang Qiu turned to the last battleship.  After Cheng Biguang nodded and promised to consider building an all-welded destroyer for testing, he hesitated and looked a little embarrassed.  Hakan, on the other hand, was very direct: "Washington has restricted designers, whether to use 15-inch or 16-inch naval guns. It is impossible to balance firepower and protection within the treaty tonnage, so we have two options. The first is to use the Mackensen class  Based on the design, taking into account the different requirements of combat conditions and sea conditions. It uses the British high-freeboard and long forecastle ship type with better wave resistance. The firepower is 4 twin German naval guns, 8 twin 120mm secondary guns, 12  The dual 40mm and 12 dual 25mm anti-aircraft guns continue to use the Anhai-class American box-type key protection layout. The main armor is 320mm / tilted 18¡ã. The front of the turret and command tower has 107mm horizontal armor, and key parts are reinforced with 50mm dome armor. Standard  The displacement is 35,900 tons and the full load is 43,800 tons. The power unit is a small water tube high-pressure boiler produced in Jiangnan, using 4 impulse steam turbines with reduction gearboxes, four shafts and four propellers. The maximum speed is 26 knots and the endurance is 15 knots/110 million nautical miles.

    The second choice is the naval gun being developed by Chongqing, which is enlarged from the Anhai-class prototype. The ship shape, watertight compartment and internal layout are similar to the first one.  Standard 35,500 tons, full load 42,500 tons, using three triple naval guns.  The caliber and turret weight were reduced and used for protection. While the thickness of the turret and command tower remained unchanged, the main armor belt protection was enhanced tothe torpedo protection compartment was 152mm, the horizontal armor was enhanced to 127mm, and 57mm dome armor was added to important parts.  Because the naval gun is smaller.  Four more boilers can be installed to increase the speed to 28 knots and the endurance to 15 knots/12,000 nautical miles.  "

    In Yang Qiu's eyes, the only role of battleships is to train the country's high-end manufacturing capabilities. After all, the battleship project in this era has almost as much as the Manhattan Project in improving the country's overall industrial capabilities, so he patiently listened to Hakan's detailed data on the two options.  Finished.

    Taking out two models at once shows that the Navy has taken great pains to build battleships.  Cheng Biguang and the navy preferred the enhanced Mackensen, but the Washington Naval Treaty restricted the production of good battleships.  According to designers from several major shipyards, unless the standard displacement is relaxed to 40,000 tons, protection and power will never be up to standard.  However, Hakan strongly suggested building a second model. Perhaps the influence of the German large ship and small guns was too deep. He believed that the triple-mounted layout could make the hull shorter and the corresponding protection more concentrated and stronger. And this naval gun  Judging from the data, it is very powerful, not inferior to old naval guns.

    Yang Qiu believes this, because he provided the blueprint of this naval gun to Chongqing. The prototype is the 330mm naval gun used by the French Dunkirk-class battlecruiser 6 years later. It is enlarged as a whole by combining the advantages of the Joint Force-class main gun.  .  The data of the French 330mm naval gun is very strong, and coupled with the method of fierce firing from the large chamber, it is more powerful than the 356mm naval gun currently used by various countries.  Moreover, the elastic loading system equipped with it can realize loading at any angle, without having to reset the barrel after each shot.  ??Theoretically, this elastic filling system can enable the 360mm naval gun to fire at a rate of 3 rounds per minute, which is higher than the average level of various countries.

    However, the Navy has concerns. First, it is unclear whether the 360mm naval gun and elastic loading system can be completed on time. Secondly, the 380mm naval gun can directly use Krupp's old design, which will make it easier to upgrade in the future. The last and most important reason is that the Navy  It has always been hoped to build a capital ship that is comparable to or even surpasses the Japanese Nagato-class battleships.

    If Yang Qiu chooses, he will definitely prefer low caliber and high speed, and he pays more attention to the details of battleships.  Such as endurance, seaworthiness, naval gun gyro lateral stabilizer, large range finder, seaplane catapult, gun mount bearing, high-power generator, electronic equipment, sonar, upgrade of Lunpo fire control, air defense control tower  Waiting for new technologies, he completely ignored the threat of the Nagato class, because he felt that even if he built the Iowa, he might not be able to easily defeat the Nagato, so it was better to develop aircraft carrier and carrier-based aircraft technology.  Considering that the naval thinking was still difficult to overcome at once, and that battleships were also needed to practice high-end manufacturing, he did not interfere in the selection. He only explained that enough tonnage must be reserved for future upgrades, especially the installation of more anti-aircraft firepower, and he was happy  He signed his name on both design drafts, allowing the Navy to decide whether it needed speed or firepower.

    ¡°However, he finally added one, that is, starting construction of two more aircraft carriers around 1928.  Cheng Biguang and Hakan were both surprised that he was obsessed with aircraft carriers, but they did not object. After all, the Navy also wanted as many warships as possible, not to mention that the total tonnage of aircraft carriers in the Washington Naval Treaty could not be wasted.

    When the Navy was torn between speed and protection, some people have helped them make the choice.

    The green rainforest in Dongwanlu is like an indestructible emerald, and the vines and overgrown weeds make Jiang Feng, who was born in the north, feel sultry and uncomfortable.  This was the headquarters of Lanfang Company at that time, and it was also the deepest thorn in the hearts of Nanyang Chinese.  The cruel reality that hundreds of thousands of Lanfang people were slaughtered reflects the hardships of the Chinese in Nanyang. Even after so many years, the number of Chinese in this "capital" is still much smaller than that in Pontianak.

    It was the rainy season, and the sparse drizzle made the jungle more dull and humid. The young men from the Foreign Affairs Section of the Security Bureau were trudging through the mud. Their destination was an indigenous tribe deep in the jungle north of Dongwanlu.  Jiang Fan raised his telescope. As a senior special operator of the Foreign Affairs Division, he had participated in the Tianjin Operation and witnessed Song Jiaoren being stabbed to death. He also "brought down" Chen Qimei's brother in a smelly ditch.

    In the distance of the lens, there is an indigenous tribe in the Dongwanlu area that has the deepest collusion with the Dutch. The tribal sultan participated in the Lanfang Massacre and obtained a large amount of the original Lanfang wealth from the Dutch. However, decades later, because he did not understand business,  Back to the rainforest in despair.

    The outside world has also had a big impact on these natives. Hundreds of dark-skinned and short locals seemed to be making a noise. The entire tribe looked like a small town.  A sentry post and several old French rifles can also be seen through the telescope.  However, this level of armament was completely ignored in the eyes of the young men in the Foreign Affairs Department. After more than twenty machine guns were quickly loaded, Jiang Feng waved his hand to disperse the encirclement and personally led the team to sneak towards the tribe.

    A sharp-eyed indigenous sentry spotted the approaching stranger and tried to raise an alarm, but his voice was still in his throat and the machine gun had sprayed out dense bullets.

    Jiang Feng took the lead and rushed to the front. The sound of gunshots shocked the entire rain forest. When the fat Sudan, who could hardly move, appeared in a hurry with a woman, Jiang Feng had already finished two magazines and was surrounded by corpses.  "We are here for revenge!" After saying this, Jiang Feng inserted a new magazine and pointed it at the Sudan and his woman. The bullets hit the fat flesh and opened seven or eight bloody holes in the blink of an eye.

    The young men from the foreign affairs department all around also started ruthless killings. The indigenous people who had almost no ability to fight back were mopped down in droves. A team member rushed into the cave full of frightened eyes and finished three magazines before coming out with blood.  The mixed underground river keeps flowing out from the cave.  After the gunfire stopped, the tribe was almost completely wiped out, leaving no one alive.

    Facing the mountain of corpses and sea of ??blood, Jiang Feng let out a long sigh. The mission had been completed. He believed that the situation here would soon be discovered by other indigenous tribes.  The corpses and blood will stimulate these ignorant natives to carry out revenge. At that time the motherland navy will have enough excuses and reasons to come here to carry out the operation to protect overseas Chinese Apologize!  I have been traveling in Singapore for the past two days, so I am very sorry that I cannot update in time.  I'll go back to Shanghai tomorrow and start work the day after tomorrow.  I hope that I can get rid of the recent chaotic coding thoughts as soon as possible, reorganize and update normally.  rs!  ~!
