But this kind of modification plan of the Daheng Imperial Navy, other countries don't know, anyway, in their opinion, the Daheng Imperial Navy is crazy to play with armor, and even came up with a 16,000-ton armored cruiser equipped with a bunch of 250 mm naval guns.

These warships exposed by the Daheng Imperial Navy, coupled with the impact of the Battle of Beauva, have greatly affected the development path of the navies of contemporary Blue Star countries.

This was still when they didn't see the Luohe-class six-main gun battleship of the Great Heng Empire, and the current ten-gun battleship Ning Yu-class.

The Luohe-class battleship of the Daheng Empire's six main guns, this thing is still in the stage of secrecy, and none of them have been completed, and the spies of various countries can't see its unique artillery layout, and foreign countries have not yet received relevant news.

As for the unified all-heavy artillery program, this is even more top secret, and countries do not know it, and even if they do, they need to complete the pre-development of a variety of subsystems, and it is not so easy to solve just a unified fire control.

It is worth noting that of the six Luohe-class battleships, except for the four that started construction last year and were unable to revise their designs on a large scale in the middle of the course because of most of the hull construction, in the first half of this year because of the outbreak of the Lieji incident, the two improved ones that started construction were suspended one after three or four months of construction.

Because at that time, the Battle of Beauva had ended, and at the same time, the Daheng Imperial Navy had already decided to build a unified all-heavy artillery warship, and those built last year could not be improved, but the two Luohe-class battleships in the first half of this year were directly canceled because they had just been constructed.

It was announced that the plan was canceled because of the end of the war, but in fact, the navy would rather lose the initial cost than stop the follow-up construction of the two warships, and then transfer the funds to the construction of unified all-heavy artillery warships.

After all, the Navy's funds are also limited, and it is impossible to say that the era of full heavy artillery is coming, and it is necessary to build such useless goods as a new one.

After the construction plan of these two follow-up ships was canceled, the Ningyu-class battleships were actually built on the spot using the original materials.

It was not only the two Luohe-class battleships that were canceled from the construction plan, but also the follow-up ship plan of the original Fengyang-class battleship with a greatly improved version and the Crane-class armored cruiser.

As for the original large number of second- and third-class old protected and unprotected cruisers, the plan for the construction of destroyers was also completely canceled.

The shipbuilding plan of the Great Heng Imperial Navy has been fully shifted to all kinds of new warships in the fourth phase.

However, the Daheng Imperial Navy canceled these warship plans, but except for the two Luohe-class battleships, many other warships that were already under construction did not directly cancel the construction, but only replaced the sellers.

For example, the Crane-class armored cruiser, this thing is not only equipped by the Daheng Imperial Navy, but also has a lot of foreign trade orders, in the first half of the year, there was a Crane-class armored cruiser originally ordered by other countries, which was temporarily appropriated by the Daheng Imperial Navy.

Now it naturally needs to be replaced.

In recent years, the Daheng Imperial Navy has ordered four batches of a total of 16 Crane-class armored cruisers, and since last year, it has successively accepted foreign trade orders from different countries, a total of nine.

Added up, all the orders for the Crane-class armored cruisers have reached twenty-five, and there are still a lot of foreign trade orders under negotiation.

Coupled with its mature technology and inexpensive price, this 8,000-ton armored cruiser has entered the field of vision of more countries for a while, and they are trying to obtain this type of armored cruiser, of course, with more advanced performance.

Up to now, a total of eight Crane-class armored cruisers have been completed and put into service, all of which are in service in the Daheng Imperial Navy!

Four more are being outfitted, and eight are under construction, with its own orders and foreign trade orders.

However, now, the Daheng Imperial Navy has fully shifted to the construction of a new generation of Hechuan-class heavy cruisers, so in addition to the four Klan-class armored cruisers that are currently being outfitted, the later orders for this class of ships will be directly canceled, and the four hulls of the ships that have been started will be converted to foreign trade orders after the design is modified for their own use.

In this way, it will also be possible to speed up deliveries, and by the end of this year, the Empire will be able to deliver foreign trade orders for Crane-class armored cruisers to the Orr Kingdom.

It is expected to be able to deliver five ships next year, and all existing foreign trade orders will be delivered the year after that.

The Crane-class armored cruiser was also famous in the Battle of Beauvois, and this thing is not expensive, the technology in all aspects is very mature, and there is no limit to the power, so it can also significantly reduce costs.

To some extent, this thing is to buy hardened armor and a large-caliber rapid-fire gun to send the hull, so the overall price is not too expensive.

Even if hardened armor and large-caliber rapid-fire guns are in demand now, even if it is a foreign trade price, it only takes about four million to be able to buy a Klan-class armored cruiser with standard configurations.

These four million can bring home an armored cruiser that can participate in the decisive battle of the fleet and escort and break the enemy.

And there are different configurations to choose from, the speed is from 20 to 22 knots, the main gun is from 200 mm, 230 mm, 250 mm three calibers, and different barrels are available.

Even the secondary guns are all kinds of combinations, from the latest top-of-the-line 150 mm 45 times caliber rapid-fire guns, down to 20 mm machine guns, in short, there are everything.

The Great Heng Imperial Navy has come out of experience in building this class of warships, anyway, the hull is constant, you decide how much power crew you want to stuff in, how many main guns you want to install, and the price list is also from the standard version of three and a half million all the way to the supreme luxury version of five million!

Rich and thrifty!

But if it's less than 3.5 million, you won't sell it, even if you are willing to lower your requirements, you won't buy it, in case you get a beggar version and go back and be sunk, wouldn't it ruin the reputation of the Crane level!

After the official promotion of this Crane-class armored cruiser to countries around the world last year, it ushered in a large number of orders, and after receiving the impact of the Battle of Beauva, more countries have come to consult the upgraded and improved version of this class of warship.

It is estimated that foreign trade orders can be upgraded from nine ships at once!

The weapons trading company of the Daheng Empire is also a few weapons companies in the United Nations, taking advantage of this east wind to promote more products, such as decisive battle cruisers, ordinary cruisers and even torpedo boats.

Of course, battleships are no exception!

Battleships are more expensive and more profitable!

It's just that the current new generation of battleships is too expensive, millions of them at every turn, and few countries can afford to buy them, and now there is only one Orr Kingdom talking about the purchase of battleships with the Daheng Empire.

However, even the Orr Kingdom, a local tyrant who never treats money as money, was hesitant to face the extremely expensive price of the new generation of battleships when discussing the purchase of a new generation of battleships with the Daheng Empire!

Therefore, the Great Heng Empire wants to sell battleships to the outside world, and there is a long way to go!
