1890 King of Southeast Asia

\\"That's all I have to say... Lord Lu, please think about it carefully. We are very sincere." Wang Tinghan tapped the table lightly.

After returning from Transvaal, Wang Tinghan lived a leisurely and comfortable life. He had a noble title, did well in the Boy Scout system, and got a wife and had two children.

Then last year, Jiang Wang snatched Hu Xihua from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Lin Anmin insisted that Jiang Wang come out alone.

The stingy Jiang Wang thought of Wang Tinghan. After reading Wang Tinghan's resume, Lin Anmin also agreed with a pinch of his nose.

After all, if you don't want it, maybe you will have nothing.

Wang Tinghan was still studying children's education, and he was transferred to the Security Affairs Section of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as deputy director.

This trip to the north involved the issue of naval warship data, and Wang Tinghan was responsible for security issues.

After the crisis of distrust broke out, Wang Tinghan was promoted to deputy director of the Asian Affairs Bureau on the spot, responsible for negotiation issues.

"Director, is it still not working?" After Lu Chuanlin left, Wang Tinghan's secretary stuck his head out to ask.

\\"Still not giving in. I want to ask the intelligence department for cooperation. I suspect someone has made a price quote for warships to the Qing Empire." Wang Tinghan picked up the teacup and shook his head slightly.

"Yes! Then what about today's work report?" the secretary asked.

"Still the same." Wang Tinghan smacked his lips, somewhat helpless.

Now the Qing Empire is responsible for external affairs of Lu Chuanlin and Lu Chuanlin is playing Tai Chi with him. Zaifeng is like a stone in the pit, smelly and hard. Prince Qing asked for 500,000 taels of silver in cash, but Zhang Nanpi avoided him.

This made Wang Tinghan have nowhere to start, after all, his trade experience is limited, and he is in a seller's market.

In Transvaal, people always ask him to sell, so where are there so many entanglements?

"Why not start with the debt? We have been here for a month. If we continue like this, the secretary mentioned it lightly and turned to go out. Qian Qian Ren

He had to write a work report, although there was nothing to write about.

"Debt?" Wang Tinghan drank tea, not knowing what he was thinking. On April 20, ambassadors from many countries gathered in Machen Port, eating and chatting around the table, so happy.

"John, your market development seems to have failed." Cyril's face was full of gloating.

When John heard this, his face, which was originally okay, immediately turned black.

In the previous war, the United States worked hard to support Japan and Russia. It was clearly agreed that the two countries' spheres of influence and markets would be shared with the United States, but there was no follow-up after the war.

\\"Tsarist Russia and Japan are too greedy. Fortunately, they still owe us loans, which is better than nothing. However, in the Near East, we still have gains, which is a pleasant surprise. John immediately raised his glass in response.

Cyril hummed twice.

The gains of the United States in the Near East mentioned by John refers to the Ottoman Empire.

The Ottoman Empire, like the Qing Empire, has been bullied.

Perhaps it was stimulated by Nanhua again, and started a comprehensive military reform in advance, planning to increase the size of the new army from 100,000 to 500,000, and equipped with machine guns and cannons.

This matter was intervened by the Americans, whether it was the officers of the reform, the choice of weapons and equipment, or the funds needed for the reform, all had American marks.

The British wanted to intervene, but were rejected.

\\"Isn't it said that today is another warship delivery ceremony? Where is the warship?\\" After a few words, Cyril felt bored and changed the subject.

\\"Who knows? But every time Nanhua invites us to visit, there are always some surprises. Sir, do you think Nanhua will have a warship equipped with 406mm naval guns this time? "John took a sip of wine, puffed out his chest, like a general who had just won.

\\"Impossible! Nanhua has no experience in equipment manufacturing such large-caliber artillery.\\" Cyril retorted seriously.

\\"What about the original 356mm? Isn't there any? Nanhua's long-barreled 305mm artillery technology also comes from Germany. There are rumors that Krupp is developing a super cannon. \\" John shrugged.

Cyril was silent. John's words made sense and he couldn't refute it.

Nanhua originally went directly from 305mm to 356mm, causing the British Royal Navy to lose its leading position again. Then Germany also had the King-class equipped with 350mm artillery.

And Britain, which has just finished nibbling 343mm naval guns, is developing 381mm. If the German super cannon plan is 406mm, then the Royal Navy will be at a disadvantage again.

This is an issue that needs to be taken seriously and needs to be taken extremely seriously.

"By the way, why haven't I heard any news about your American Navy recently? \\" Cyril originally just responded subconsciously, and then suddenly realized that he really hadn't heard any news about the US Navy for a long time.

John was stuck, and then simply looked at the sea.

"The last time I heard about the news about the US warship was last year. It was a battleship with a displacement of more than 16,000 tons, eight guns and a speed of 18 knots. Why not make it faster?" Cyril asked with a smile.

\\"That's huge!" John looked at the huge monster that appeared in the bay and pointed at her in surprise.

"Bigger, more Cyril looked at the giant ship that was slowly entering the berth and said softly.

At this time, more and more people saw the ship, and almost all pointed at it, with surprised or solemn expressions on their faces.

"It is longer than Xuchang, and the overall outline feels more slender. The tonnage should be larger. Is it to increase the speed? \\" Cyril took out his finger and compared it.

\\ "Is 30,000 tons? \\" Must be started immediately to start the Florida level. 'John's face twisted.

The United States is still trying to raise the speed to 21 sections to reach the normal level of the world navy. The warships are just 22,000 tons of Drava -class, and Ten Wushu Ten 305mm 45 -fold Cannon.

According to the character of South China, the speed of the new warship will not be slow, and the United States is behind.

"No right! \\" Silil looked at the Arabian that was parked in the berth.

"What? \\" John took a deep breath and asked.

Siril was silently took out the briefcase and kept looking for.

It didn't take long for him to take out a stack of photos, mainly South China's main battleship.

\\ "Here is the photo before the improvement of Changan. This is after the improvement, you see their changes." Silil put two photos together.

"Replaced the 305mm artillery with a 356mm artillery? \\" John didn't know what he was talking about, and tentatively cooperated with Siril.

\\ "Yes, at this time, the Changan had been renovated for the first time, and changed the main gun from a 45 -fold aperture to 50 times. \\" Silil picked up the photo and looked at the mooring warship.

\\ "There is another! Do you like to play like this? Why no news came out! \\" John pointed at the Xiawaii of Bay Road.

\\ "Two John, if it was what I imagined, we were in trouble. \\" Silil compared to John and laughed bitterly.

"What's wrong?" John asked curiously.

\\ "If I didn't guess it was wrong, this class of warships were equipped with a 305mm artillery. You see, the shape of the 305 mm 50 times diameter artillery of Changan is exactly the same. Essence

John scratched his head, and Silil sighed when he saw this.

\\ "From the appearance, equipment, this is likely to be a speed warship. Such a huge warship should not have a bad battery life. \\" Siril said.

"In other words, this was a attack ship" John's eyes widened.

"Almost, it's too far, this weapon is too dangerous!" Siril said seriously.

"Yes, it's too dangerous" John said painfully.

Americans's warships can keep up with the progress, whether it is armored or artillery, although not to mention the first echelon, the second echelon is still fine.

The only speed, the South Carolina -class speed that has just been mentioned is only 5 knots, and the Drava level, which is being built, is 21.

The Florida -level design that is undergoing technical demonstrations is only 22 knots, but it is equipped with a 356mm artillery to prepare to deal with Xu Chang's class.

Americans want to come to Asia, and they need to cross half the earth. If the South China Development attacks the fleet, it is undoubtedly not good news for the United States.

Peng!

As the Hawaii also entered the berth, the ritual cannon, the flags fluttering, the military music played, the sun, moon and star flag slowly rose to the highest point of the warship.

\\ "Dear guests, leaders, good morning everyone! In this sunny, windy and sunny \\"

Silil listened silently, hoping to hear some useful news.

\\ "Now, I will introduce it to everyone. The new weapon of the South China Navy, the Arabian, and Hawaii. We have used many current technology to learn from the British Navy's experience. The speed of the warship reaches 25 knots, which can effectively help vessels affected by the pirates nearby. The 305mm artillery equipped with the equipment can effectively combat all criminals. The battery life can reach the sea, and Wu Han, commander of the Pacific Second Fleet for a long time as a host.

"There are His Majesty Emperor below, and give you a speech"

Liu Yiming stepped up, "friends"
