1890 King of Southeast Asia

It really did not prepare for interference, as Mikhail guessed.

After all, interference in the war of other countries is a very sensitive issue. If you don't pay attention to it, the war will erupt, and the power of South China is also more scattered.

It is mainly reflected in strategic goals. The eastern eastern end of South China is located at 34 ° east longitude, and the western end is located at 178 ° 75 ′ in the west.

To a certain extent, South China is also a sunset.

Under this breadth, South China can only learn the United Kingdom. The core forces -large fleets are gathered in Southeast Asia, and small ships patrol or station.

It can maintain deterrence and strikes at a small cost, coupled with the secrets of the Southeast Asian islands in the South China core, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Since 1, it is fine.

"His Majesty, the cruise fleet has been returned, and it is expected to arrive at Manila before 108. The Xuchang has also entered the dock and began to maintain work. It is expected to take 10 days." Gu Fan, chief of staff of the Navy.

Zhao Jiaxing went to Guinea half a month ago. Where can I have a submarine research base? He went to study the submarine and had not returned yet.

The first generation of South China submarines was independently developed. The biggest help given by Liu 1 Ming was to draw a shell, and then the submarine sank when the submarine entered the water ...

The designer hopes that this submarine can run out of the speed of 20 sections in order to keep up with the fleet. I hope to install artillery to enhance the waterfighting capacity and put armor on the submarine ...

If it is a gunboat, this design is still excellent, but this is a submarine.

After that, South China obtained two submarines, a mermaid -grade, and one elves through France through the Alliance. The two were not much different.

The mermaid displacement is 213 tons, the speed is 97 knots/water surface, under 56 water sections, the battery life is 970 km/7 knots, and the weapon is 4 450 mm torpedoes.

The elf displacement is 207 tons, the speed is 61/water surface, 48/underwater, the battery life is 213 kilometers/5 knots, and the weapon is also 4 450 mm torpedoes. However, this submarine uses variable -distance propeller and can retreat without reversing the engine.

France has transferred the corresponding technology, design drawings or something, and also helped South China to establish a production line.

After absorbing the concept of the French submarine, the test model of the South China new submarine has been completed in the Guinea submarine test base.

The work fell to Gu Fan, who had just become the chief of staff. After all, Zhao Jiaxing did not expect that as soon as he left his front foot, the battle of Mesopotamia was over, and South China immediately responded to the north.

"How is the manufacturing work of the new main battleship?" Liu 1 Ming asked.

"It is being carried out, and it is expected to join the naval sequence next year. Speaking of this, there are only two docks built by ships in the country in the country. We hope to expand 1 down and expand to 6."

Gu Fan already belongs to the new generation of navy. They are more professional, have stronger strategy and tactical capabilities, and have weak political capabilities. Moreover, they will no longer have the relaxed atmosphere of veterans.

"We will not make too many large cruiser -level ships, but the expansion of the dock is also necessary. With the development of technology, the ships are getting bigger and longer ... Shipyard, Manila Naval Shipyard, each built 1. "Liu 1 nodded.

The big tour, as early as 1902, set the tone, officially started in 1905, and started two times.

186 meters long, 256 meters wide, 78 meters full of water, 27500 tons/standard, 31,000 tons/full load.

The weapon configuration is relatively abundant. There are 3 main turrets of 305 mm 50 times the main turret, and the first two rear layouts.

127 mm 42 times diameter cannon 12 doors, double -loaded 152 mm 50 times caliber and 4 -caliber auxiliary guns, and 10 762 mm sub -gun.

The main armor is 270 mm, extended to 100 mm back and forth, 100 mm horizontal deck, and 55 mm front and rear deck.

The front of the turret is 305 mm, the top is 102 mm, and the side is 254 mm.

The power system provides steam by 12 fuel boilers, driving two Nezhay -type 4 steam turbines, which can provide 75,000 horsepower, maximum speed of 28 knots, and 15th verse 8,000 nautical miles.

Very advanced, very powerful warship, leading in Europe for more than 5 years (many technologies are in Europe, which is useless, because warships can only use "mature advanced technology", not enough investment, mature slowly.)

Originally expected to start in March 1905, the water was launched in 1906, and it was served by the end of 1907. It was almost 3 years of construction cycle.

But until now, the new battleship's installation progress is less than one and a half. Only the power system has been initially debugged. The weapon system has not been installed, let alone integration.

This kind of project cannot be concealed. Therefore, South China declared that in the manufacture of warships, Britain quarreled one by one. After the new German warship laid off the water, he was not interested in governing Nanhua.

"This matter can also be talked about at the reporter's press conference. This time, the new battleship is used." Liu 1 Ming looked at the construction progress.

"Have you arrived in Ryukyu? Does the Japanese react?" Liu 1 Ming looked at the pattern of the big patrol.

The battle patrol is a very strange ship. In the decisive battle of the battle, because the armor is weak, it is disadvantaged, but the 1 series of activities before the decisive battle cannot lack this mobility force.

Liu 1ming also thought about building this kind of warship again and again. In the end, he built a level 1 warship on the grounds of deterring others, leaving room for upgrading. In the future, it can be changed into an escort warship for the aircraft carrier fleet.

"The Japanese have stepped up patrols, but they have not made any radical actions. I heard that there has been no protest from the Japanese?" Gu Fan asked in confusion.

Liu 1ming felt something was wrong, but it seemed reasonable. In Japan, as long as you are stronger than him, he will be more obedient than anyone else.

But is he really so easy to surrender? Liu 1ming didn't quite believe it.

"Your Majesty, Minister Jiang from the Audit Department is here." Secretary Wang knocked on the door gently.

"The General Staff has something else to do, I will take my leave first..." Gu Fan stood up.

Liu 1ming nodded: "Sort out the data, beautify it, don't be too exaggerated, use the standard of battleships, and use it at the press conference."

"Yes!" Gu Fan saluted, packed up the documents and left.

"Your Majesty, our informant in Japan sent back a message that Japan is urgently requisitioning supplies for unknown purposes. We speculate that Japan may want to go to war." Jiang Wang handed Liu Ming a file bag.

Director Lin frequently talked with the American and Russian envoys. There was a sudden shortage of supplies in the Japanese market. The transport ships received the news and were asked to gather at the port.

"It looks like they are about to face war." Liu Ming didn't quite understand. Did Japan want to take a risk?

It's not impossible, but it's too hasty. The chance of winning is not high.

Ring...

"Hello... OK." Secretary Wang held the receiver.

"Chief Jiang, the audit department is calling."

Jiang Wang took the phone.

"What's the matter? When did it happen? Is it confirmed? OK... pay close attention." Jiang Wang's face darkened a little, nodded, and hung up the phone.

"The Russian army has prepared for the attack. Currently, there are 100,000 troops stationed north of Longjiang. Material preparations have been completed. Our people lack communication equipment and the message is delayed." Jiang Wang said heavily.

He knew Liu Yiming's idea, deterrence, try not to use force - this try, should be above Nanhua's bottom line, Nanhua will not join the battle.

Nanhua is preparing to "advocate peace" at the press conference on the 18th, and is gathering strength for this, but now it seems that Nanhua's strategic intention has been seen through.

Liu Yiming did not react much, but just clenched his fist and looked at the sun, moon and star flag on the table.

"Notify the Qing Empire, the rest will proceed as planned."

Liu Yiming could not bet on Nanhua for the old witch. Perhaps the Qing Empire also needs these hardships to promote some people to awaken and overthrow this corrupt dynasty.

"Recall Sun Zairen, the military attaché of the embassy in Thailand, establish an intelligence system in the Qing Empire, and expand some weapons." Liu Yiming clasped his hands together.

Since it cannot be avoided, it is better to speed up.

There are many resistances in the Qing Empire, but they are all fighting on their own. Therefore, the reason why some people are remembered by history is not as simple as the times creating heroes. Heroes may not be perfect, but they always have certain qualities.
