Zhu Erdian took Rizhiyi and followed Reyns to Qing. Island, they want to see what the newest warship of the Americans looks like, why is Reyns so confident?

In fact, Reyns didn't know it, but the country told him that it was strong, and we had the latest warship to finish, and he didn't know how new it was, but he would still be strong, and he was very strong, and he didn't give Zhu Erdian any face. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The 5th and 6th Marine Brigades, the 1st Heavy Artillery Brigade, and the 1st Engineer Brigade had completed the landing, and the takeover of law and order, barracks, and batteries was the first priority, and then the fleet was divided into four sub-fleets, two warships of each type. Two detachments entered the harbor to rest, while the other two patrolled outside, this was Wesley's instruction, be careful of sneak attacks, and the little men had a habit of doing so.

William. Benson was obedient, and the fleet was not well trained to react quickly enough in wartime, so he also acted strictly according to Wesley's instructions. The battleships were boarded with the German Navy, and the four battleships parked in the harbor all had port numbers, four 101, 102, 103, and 104, and the other four patrolled the seas, which is the latest nomenclature of the US Navy.

Originally, I wanted Wesley, the designer, to name the battleship, but Wesley thought it was troublesome, so he directly replaced it with numbers, starting with the number 1 for battleships, starting with the number 2 for heavy cruisers, and so on.

Melvadik was a German naval colonel, he knew a lot about ships, and when he came to the port, he saw the fleet parked at the berth from a distance, "This is a dreadnought-class battleship, but the layout has changed a lot. ”

"Yes, all arranged along the central axis, a total of three fully enclosed turrets, triple mounted main guns." William. Benson didn't hide it, his purpose was to let the Germans know, although it was a little late.

"I really didn't expect that you Americans would have such a big battleship, although it is not the largest, but it looks very good in combat, and it may not lose to the British."

"British? They are not our opponents, and now in the era of broadside engagement, do they have the firepower of that warship and can be compared with our battleships? ”

"This is not true, although it adopts an all-heavy artillery structure, but the distribution is different from yours, your structure is more compact, and even the number of chimneys is reduced to one, which is a great design."

"Let's go up and have a look!"

After the Germans visited, they had no way to pass on the news, after all, they were disarmed, and they had to have the consciousness of being a prisoner. Benson began training the fleet, and a few days later, the dusty Renes arrived at the Blue Shore with Juerdian and Hichiyi. Island.

"General, welcome to Huaxia." When Reyns got off the train, he saw William. Benson was at the front of the greeting line.

"Mr. Minister has worked hard." A pun on the word, not just about coming all the way to Qing. island, and at the same time there is a maneuver before the arrival of the American fleet.

"This is what I should do, let me introduce you, this is the British Minister Mr. Zhu Erdian, this is the Japanese Minister Mr. Hichiki Mashi, they are very eager to see our American fleet, I don't know what you think?"

"Oh, this is nothing, although it is our cutting-edge warship, but all countries are welcome to come and communicate, do you want to rest first?" William. Benson also didn't care, because the advantages in appearance could not be kept secret, especially such a large battleship, so they were directly optimistic about it, and they didn't understand it even if they looked at it.

"Check it out now!" Hichiki was impatient, and he was now eager to know how effective the American warships were, so that he could give the country reference information.

William. Benson led the group to the harbor in an Army jeep, which was produced by Wesley's car factory. For the new cars of the American army, Zhu Erdian did not have a very good heart, because the United States had surpassed Britain in some aspects, which, in his words, was not in the interests of the British Empire.

When I came to the port, I saw four battleships led by 105 quietly parked in the port, and there were other battleships in the distance.

Hinatori Yi frowned and looked at the battleship in the distance, the first feeling was that it was a beautiful, clean and neat layout, although he only saw the side, but basically he already knew the whole picture, it must be a symmetrical layout. With a tonnage of more than 20,000 tons, they only have one Kong-class battlecruiser that can fight against it, and the other battleships are under construction, and the rest are either pre-dreadnought-class or armored cruisers, which are not opponents at all compared to battleships, is it feasible to sneak attack?

Rizhiyi was silent, and Zhu Erdian was also silent, although these battleships are nothing to the British, but judging from the layout and artillery, they are indeed cutting-edge warships, and it is very likely that they have gone ahead of the British. Although Britain is not afraid in numbers, there is no way for Britain to concentrate its main forces against the Americans, and the Americans can use this fleet to stab Britain in the back.

This is the Pacific Fleet, and there is an Atlantic Fleet, how is it going there? Zhu Erdian has already reported to the country once, hoping that the country will pay attention to it, and at the same time collect intelligence from the US Navy.

The two boarded the battleship No. 105 with different purposes, and then visited, the key area was secret, but the other places were enough for them to see, the two got off the ship with a depressed face, and after looking around, they saw the No. 205 heavy cruise.

"General, is that a battle cruiser?" Hi Zhiyi asked.

"No, that's our heavy cruiser."

"Heavy cruisers?" Rizhiyi is not very clear about the difference, but the triple main gun, close to 20,000 tons of tonnage, looks like a battle patrol no matter how you look at it. Day. Ben's fleet construction plan has been going on for a few years, but now I don't know how long it will take to complete it, and the only Kongo-class battle cruiser Kongo is even more of a treasure of the navy. The island is hopeless.

Zhu Erdian and Hichiyi didn't even eat, and went directly to the train again to return to the capital, they were in a hurry to send a message to the country, and William. Benson didn't care about their behavior, and directly entertained Ryans to the governor's palace.

"General, why has the situation in the country suddenly changed?" Reyns asked hurriedly as he sat down.

"Hehe, we have a genius, the warships you see, and the weapons of the soldiers are all invented by him, he not only invented weapons, but also has more patents in hand, and he is also a genius in business, that is, he persuaded the country to change the policy."

"Oh? Is there such a person? His ability to convince Congress to change tactics is really remarkable. ”

"yes, it's amazing, he's been satirizing those lawmakers when he was speaking to Congress, but now those lawmakers and the consortium behind them are studying his speech, can you believe it?"
