Chapter 149:Global Naval Race (3/10)
"Commander, the British battleship Orion, was successfully launched three days ago, the Orion-class battleship, the British planned to start the construction of four, and at the same time design and build the next class of new battleships, for which the British allocated funds to build a total of twelve super-unnecessary class battleships."
"In order to maintain the dominant position in terms of firepower, the new 45 times diameter 14-inch caliber main gun was installed to replace the original fearless class battleship unified caliber main gun.And for the first time, the main turrets were all arranged along the longitudinal central axis of the ship, five double-mounted main turrets, the hulls were two each, and one of the cassette was located behind the chimney, which made it easy for all the main guns to carry forward the side fire with the side fire.
“The ship was first fitted with a central fire control system, and the firing command arm, invented by Royal Navy officer Major General Percy Scott, was mounted below the firing command post on the front-sang.The firing and aiming of the artillery on the control ship by the fire control center control ship can focus on observation and correction of the cassation point during the main gun malfeat, and the unified calculation of the shooting points, the artillery adjusts the direction according to the instructions, and according to the assessment of a large number of experts of the intelligence center, the Orion is equipped with a shooting command arm plate, six times the rate of conventional fearless-class warships.
...
In Tokyo, Japan, the still-unchanging manor, in Fan Yize’s personal office, a young man in a suit, combed his back, with dark glasses, and stood straight, introducing the main international intelligence recently obtained.
Countries have begun to build their own fearless-class warships, and even Britain, France, the United States, Germany, have begun to design the most fearless warships comparable to the fearless first battleships.
The displacement is all more than 25,000 tons, and the caliber is generally about 355 mm, and the speed is the lowest of 23 knots, or even higher.
Unified armor protection, improved old naval warfare technology, because of the relationship between the Red Police Corps and the Navy, the development speed of warships in various countries is one or two years ahead of the original history.
In this regard, Fan Yize also has no way, the day to rain the mother to marry, the only thing that can be done is to understand the shipbuilding situation of various countries as much as possible.
Even Russia built and launched the battleship Gangut, but only this fearless class of warships.
Compared with the countries are several ships built together to build a desperate position, although Russia also has a considerable standard of technology, but the financial is really unable to afford, coupled with the domestic regime contradictions, the Duma even wants to kill all Russia's shipbuilding plans.
This was Russia’s last-ditch effort to save the Far East, although a large number of technologies were borrowed from foreign countries, and even with the help of the British, only to eventually build warships of this class.
However, compared with the countries are building the 13.5-inch main gun or the ultra-fearless 14-inch main gun, the four warships of Russia, the main gun is still 12 inches, which is too much.
As a result, with the strong insistence of Nicholas II, Russia recently began to build three warships of this class, and officially named the Sevastopol class battleship.
As the leader of the global navy, although Britain has been pressed by the Red Guard Navy over the years, after years of catching up, it has finally been able to come up with a main battleship that is enough to counter the fearless first-class battleship.
The Orion-class battleship, which the British recently launched, and the Queen Elizabeth-class battleship, which has begun laying keel, will be deployed in the Far East fleet in the future.
This obviously for Fan Yize's crazy shipbuilding plan, the British also did not avoid the feeling of 讳樊楉泽, in the announcement of the new Queen Elizabeth class battleship, also announced that this will be a comprehensive beyond Fan Yize under the Navy battleship of the strongest battleship.
However, as a European power, Germany, on the one hand, faces Russia and the United Kingdom, while the British are crazy to build ships, the Germans are not far behind.
As a country that is also aimed at Britain in Russia, Germany bought a lot of advanced technology from Fan Yize in shipbuilding.
This is also why the British began to openly anger Fan Yize, and even if Germany wanted to, the fearless first-class battleship Fan Yize would be sold to Germany.
At present, there are thousands of engineers in German shipyards to help, the German new warships, or these engineers to help design.
The strength of the German Navy was not weak, although the British rose, as if the accumulation of technology to make it rich, but the Germans are not far behind.
With the help of Fan Yize, the design of German warships directly got rid of the main gun caliber of warships of all levels of the German Navy's fleet, which is always smaller than that of the British Royal Navy's class of ships, from light cruisers to battleships.
At this time, the British completed the Orion-class battleship of the 355 mm main gun, and began to build the Queen Elizabeth-class battleship of the 381-calibre main gun. When the intelligence was handed over to Germany, the Germans also decisively abandoned the previous Nassau-class battleship.
Directly began to build the new Bavarian class battleship, purchased the advanced 355 mm battleship main gun directly to Fan Yize, and with the help of Red Police engineers, redesigned the battleship of this class, and also purchased four powertrains directly.
The Bavarian-class battleship, equipped with five double-coated ships, not only has a strong firepower, but also has a speed of up to 25 knots.
In order to compete with the British, Germany also built six Bavarian-class battleships in one fell swoop, and was also designing a new battleship in the next class, and also spent heavy money to design the main gun of 381 mm independently.
The German shipbuilding plan is confidential, so the outside world is difficult to find in time, the outside world only know that Germany has received a lot of advanced shipbuilding technology from Fan Yize, the new level of battleship tonnage, is likely to break through 30,000 tons.
But the British are just as confident, after all, the Queen Elizabeth class battleship is not weak.
France, the United States are not far behind, all kinds of warships are also launched.
Only Fan Yize, it seems that suddenly destroyed the world, did not explode any news of new warships, but the outside world can not dare to underestimate, and even most people think that Fan Yize must be secretly building new warships.
However, Fan Yize himself is well aware that the Red Police Base now has no new warship units, and the construction is still a fearless first-class battleship.
Fortunately, the Red Police Navy is still not weak, even after the full upgrade of the barracks to the second level, the comprehensive strength of the Red Police Corps has been a good improvement.
