The end of the military era

It also ordered 30 Xianyuan-class all-main-gun battleships, 30 Xiandao-class all-main-gun battleships, 30 traditional-class battlecruisers, and 30 order-class battlecruisers from several shipyards of the Liangyan Empire.

However, the six orc nations have also started construction of many full-armed battleships and battlecruisers, and the overall number exceeds ours.

The navies of the other six orc nations can also add more capital ships to their combined naval fleet, and our Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet may not add many capital ships in a short time, so I suggest that we should cooperate with the six warships as soon as possible. The combined naval fleet of the orc nation launched a decisive battle. "

The other formation commanders all agreed with Liu Ergou's suggestion.

The Zhou family relied on the support of the Liangyan Empire, and the Liangyan Empire relied on a large number of orders from the Zhou family, which made the shipbuilding capabilities of the Zhou family and the Liangyan Empire not weaker than that of ordinary orc nations.

However, don't forget that there are six orc nations. In terms of shipbuilding capabilities, these six orc nations are enough to crush the Zhou family and the Liangyan empire.

The Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet is doing everything it can, and can only gather 494 battleships with full main guns and 208 battlecruisers. The orc nations also did their best to allow the combined fleet of the six navies to add hundreds of battleships.

In the Governor’s Mansion in Morning Star City, the second capital of the Golden Lion Empire, the Second Vice Minister of the Navy Silit reported to the Governor Kosnohui: “Using the first batch of war bonds issued by the Ministry of Finance, several major shipyards of our Golden Lion Empire have already At the beginning, 60 Longshi-class battleships with full main guns and 60 light cavalry-class battlecruisers were built at the same time."

The Longshi-class battleship with full main guns and the light cavalry-class battlecruiser are the latest capital ships of the Royal Navy of the Golden Lion Empire, both equipped with 380mm main guns.

Governor Kosno nodded slightly, "The Royal Navy lost too much in the battle of Dragon Whale Island, and more battleships and battlecruisers with full main guns must be built to supplement the losses of the Royal Navy.

When will these 60 Longshi-class battleships with full main guns and 60 light cavalry-class battlecruisers join the Royal Navy? "

Sillit pondered for a moment and said, "At least it will take about a year."

Governor Cosno said: "I hope that when these 60 Longshi-class battleships with full main guns and 60 light cavalry-class battlecruisers enter service, the Six Events Alliance has completely defeated the Zhou family of the Han and Tang Empire."

"Governor, this time our six Spirit Race nations unite together, and we will definitely be able to eliminate this human force that should not have appeared!"

"I also believe in winning.

However, if we want to defeat the Zhou family of the Han and Tang Empires, the price must be very high. At least those warships of our Golden Lion Navy that joined the combined fleet of the six navies will definitely lose a lot.

How is the development of the 400mm naval gun? "

"The 45mm naval gun with 400 times the caliber has been successfully developed, and the range can reach 3 meters. The armor-piercing shells can even penetrate 5-meter-thick concrete fortifications."

"Has your Admiralty started designing a capital ship equipped with 400mm naval guns?"

"The Governor, our Ship Design Bureau under the Ministry of the Navy, is already designing full-armor battleships and battlecruisers equipped with 400mm main guns.

But the cost of building these two new capital ships? "

Governor Kosno said decisively: "The problem of funding is up to me to solve, and I have asked the Ministry of Finance to prepare to issue the second batch of war bonds.

I want to know, with the capabilities of the major shipyards of our Golden Lion Empire, how many new capital ships can we build while building 60 Longshi-class battleships with full main guns and 60 light cavalry-class battlecruisers? "

"After some large shipyards have been remodeled, it should be possible to build capital ships equipped with 400mm main guns.

According to my estimates, it should be possible to build another 40 or so ships at the same time. "

"Too little, I will ask people to immediately allocate funds to major shipyards to build some 4-ton docks."

"Governor, a capital ship equipped with a 400mm main gun needs at least a 45-ton dock."

"Then let the major shipyards build a new batch of 45-ton docks. Even if our Royal Navy of the Golden Lion Empire has lost the title of the world's number one navy, our shipbuilding capacity of the Golden Lion Empire will still occupy the world's number one." One!"

At present, in addition to the Golden Lion Empire, which has built another 60 Longshi-class battleships with full main guns and 60 light cavalry-class battlecruisers, the Red Tiger Empire, Black Bear Empire, Flying Leopard Empire, and Silver Wolf Empire have all built a batch of new ships. capital ship.

Only the Bull Empire, because of the previous naval policy, was powerless even if it wanted to build a new capital ship.

In the Governor's Mansion in Detrika City, the second capital of the Bull Empire, Governor Trofe said to Taras, the First Vice Minister of the Navy: "The fish plan formulated by Larion has been proven to be wrong. .

The strength of our Royal Navy of the Bull Empire is therefore far behind the navies of the other five Eldar nations. "

Taras hesitated for a moment, and then defended Minister of the Navy Larion: "Governor, Larion made the fish group plan in consideration of the financial difficulties of the empire, so..."

Before Talas could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Governor Trophy, "I didn't blame Larion, after all, I agreed with the Fish Project.

But next, our Buffalo Empire must build new all-main-gun battleships and battlecruisers, and the number must not be small.

I will transfer a sum of money from the imperial treasury and the royal treasury to build large docks and new capital ships. "

Most of the large shipyards in the major shipyards of the Barbarian Empire have been sold before, so if the Barbarian Empire wants to build a large number of capital ships at the same time, it can only build a new batch of large shipyards first.

"Governor, at present, our Buffalo Empire's naval gun manufacturing factory can only manufacture 300mm naval guns with a caliber forty times that of the others, while the latest capital ships of other Eldar nations are already equipped with 380mm naval guns."

The last all-main-gun battleship built by the Bull Empire before, that is, the Punisher-class all-main-gun battleship, used a 300mm main gun with forty times the caliber.

After the Punisher class, the Buffalo Empire completely abolished the construction of large warships, so the Buffalo Empire's research on large-caliber naval guns also became stagnant.

Governor Trophy said: "I have secretly reached an agreement with the Golden Lion Empire, and the Golden Lion Empire will provide our Buffalo Empire with the technology of a 45mm main gun with a caliber of 360 times for free.

As the saying goes, you can't eat a fat man with one bite. Let's build a batch of capital ships equipped with 360mm main guns first in the Bull Empire! "

When Taras heard this, he couldn't help being a little excited, "Governor, how many battleships are you going to build with 360mm main guns?"

"At least 30 new all-main-gun capital ships and battlecruisers must be built at the same time.

The Royal Navy of our Barbarian Empire has fallen behind a lot, and we must work hard to catch up! "

On the afternoon of June 1545th, 6, in a study room in the southwestern tutelary mansion of Ganyang City, Kang Huai, the person in charge of the Zhou family’s industry, told Zhou Rui: “Marshal, the six major shipbuilders of our Zhou family are currently factory, plus the ship repair shop at Crescent Island Naval Base.

2万吨以上的干船坞，包括82座4万吨船坞、116座35万吨船坞、92座3万吨船坞、108座25万吨船坞和112座2万吨船坞。

另外还有36座3万吨浮船坞、16座4万吨浮船坞和12座5万吨浮船坞。”

The floating docks were all extracted by Zhou Rui from the lottery system.

目前西南海防舰队48艘配备380毫米主炮的全主炮战列舰和48艘配备380毫米主炮的战列巡洋舰，就分别在一些4万吨干船坞和35万吨干船坞中进行建造。

Although the full-load displacements of these two new capital ships are 38000 tons and 38400 tons respectively, they can still use a dry dock of 35 tons.

Zhou Rui frowned and said: "The number of large docks is still small.

We must know that we not only need to use these large docks to build full main gun battleships and battlecruisers, but also need to use these large docks to repair injured capital ships during the war. "

Kang Huai immediately said: "Marshal, according to your intention, the six major shipyards of our Zhou family have begun to build a batch of 5-ton dry docks, and the number is tentatively set at 40."

"Today, among the six orc nations, except for the Bull Empire, the rest of the orc nations have a large number of battleships under construction.

Next, I plan to increase the number of two new capital ships to be built, so we need more large shipyards.

There are too few 40 dry docks with a capacity of 5 tons. At least 120 dry docks must be built first. The issue of funds does not need to be considered. Our Zhou family needs to further enhance its shipbuilding capabilities. "

During the process of building the current 96 battleships, the Zhou family's major shipyards have trained more technicians and workers, which also gave the major shipyards the capital to continue to expand their scale.

Kang Huai nodded, "As long as the funds are in place, there should be no problem in building 120 dry docks of 5 tons. However, the six major shipyards of our Zhou family will continue to recruit new workers."
