1890 King of Southeast Asia

"Welcome to join the civilized world." Lord Milner held the hand of the Boer guerrillas on behalf of the General Shi Mo.

On January 20, 1902, after a difficult negotiation, the only more than 20,000 Boer guerrillas surrendered to the British, and the Boer War officially ended.

"Article 1: Boer Field Forces and armed citizens put down their weapons, pay all the guns and warfare materials controlled by them, to terminate any attempts to continue to resist the government of the King of Edward VII, and acknowledge that His Majesty the King is it. Legal sovereignty ...

Article 8: When the conditions are mature, the agency system is implemented in South Africa ...

As for the support of the Qing Empire and South China? Liu Yiming welcomed, and then the United States knew what meat buns were to fight dogs.

"How is the design of the new warship?" Liu Yiming looked at Zhao Jiaxing.

According to normal, the second -level warships should be designed when the Great Han -class service.

"The plan has come out, because there are many small problems with the big Han -class battleships, and the Ministry of Navy is more inclined to a more conservative design." Zhao Jiaxing took out a document.

"It is 185 meters long, 6 meters wide, 8 meters wide at full load, a standard displacement of 23,000 tons, and a full -load displacement of 26,800 tons. The improved Great Han -level power system is used, and the speed of 30,000 horsepower is 22." Zhao Jiaxing handed the document to Liu Yiming.

"So big guy, how much money?" Xie Hui couldn't help asking.

"It is expected to cost about 9 million." Zhao Jiaxing said casually.

"9 million ~" Xie Hui took a breath, and the 1/3 Army appropriation.

"What about weapons?" Liu Yiming asked.

"There are two types of main guns, one is 12 305mm artillery, which is equivalent to the mass production type of the big Han -class battleship. The other is the eight -door 356mm artillery.

The auxiliary cannon consists of a large number of small and medium -caliber quick -fired guns to form an anti -strike firepower network. There are six 127 mm dual -combined artillery, 12 alone, and 6 66 mm anti -strike guns. Zhao Jiaxing said.

"The tonnage has increased, and the speed of the speed has not been significantly improved. If you still use a 305mm gun, is it a waste?" Yang Tao asked.

"The main reason is that the artillery factory is not sure if it can complete the development of the 356mm L45 artillery as scheduled. If it cannot be completed within one and a half years, in order to avoid no artillery available, the production of 305 mm artillery will begin." Zhao Jiaxing explained.

You can't stop the warship in the dock, wait for the artillery to develop successfully, and then slowly manufacture? At this time, the cost is a bit high.

"Since it is a technical meeting, I will leave first. There is also a summary meeting in the afternoon. The meeting two days later is remembered to attend." Xu Hui told Liu Yiming.

"Okay, I won't get it." Liu Yiming nodded and knew.

The big members took the eyes and sent Xu Hui to leave, waiting for the door to close before continuing the meeting.

"I have a question. The 305mm artillery can be competent for the current task. Is it necessary to engage in a larger caliber? After all, other countries do not correspond to the big Han -level warships." Xie Hui asked.

"In fact, we have conducted damage experiments. About 250 mm armored and a layer of cabin can effectively block 305 mm artillery at a long distance." Zhao Jiaxing said.

"With the expansion of the caliber, the resistance of armor -piercing has increased, and the power of 356 mm artillery is double the power of 305 mm."

"The protection of this warship must continue to strengthen to adapt to the new main gun." Liu Yiming said.

"yes!"

Liu Yiming's words are equivalent to making decisions and using 356 mm artillery as the main gun of the next battleship.

"Consider the problem of strategic fraud." Liu Yiming was right.

"This class of battleships still manufacture two ships, claiming to be a supplementary model to improve mass production on the Great Han -class battleships, and keeps the cannon caliber." Liu Yiming positively said.

"Yes!" Everyone replied.

"In addition, the Navy is ready to arrange for Changan to visit Europe. By the way, I will participate in the Wardland VII Navy's Margin." Liu Yiming wanted to test the British background.

With British industrial capabilities, a battleship can work in the water for a year when a battleship is urgently rushed to work. If the British care about the new battleship, it should now be completed.

According to the Royal Navy's practice, we must receive warships of other countries who have participated in the warship -type warships at the same level, which will not only explore the British bottom, but also let the British out of the limelight.
