The Great Wall battleship belongs to the Jinling-class battleship, which is the most advanced 10,000-ton battleship in China, with eight groups of six-stroke engines, each group of engines up to 4,000 horsepower, full drive can reach 30,000 horsepower, and its speed reaches an astonishing 32 knots.

Only six groups of engines are used for normal sailing, with an average speed of 23 knots, and the speed of 23 knots is used to maintain a distance from other types of ships in the battle group, and if the mission is carried out alone, the average speed can be maintained at 28 knots.

This new type of battleship no longer has the three large chimneys of the steam engine battleship, it was built completely according to the model of the battleship of later generations, the length of the ship is 160 meters, the width of the ship is 62 meters, and the five-story structure of the steam engine battleship is maintained, with three upper floors and two bilges.

Firepower configuration: three 3 batteries of 400mm naval guns, three salvos in 2 minutes, 150 rounds per gun, 1 ton per shell, 660 pounds per shell; two 3 batteries of 255mm naval guns, shells weighing 300 pounds, each with 200 rounds of ammunition; Six 5-company 155mm naval guns with shells weighing 100 pounds.

In addition, 35 3-gun batteries and 25 machine guns were installed.

The Great Wall was launched on April 15, 1662, and was built by the Shanghai shipyards, along with fifty-three internal combustion engine battleships of the same type, which were launched at various large shipyards in China.

After the train entered the station, Gao Junshan and the three old courtiers did not leave the train station, and went directly to the Shanghai shipyard on the platform, and his six wives stayed in the bustling Shanghai, and the purpose of their coming to Shanghai was to play a crazy round.

The battleship Great Wall was launched first, and the ships launched today also included a 10,000-ton passenger ship and a 10,000-ton cargo ship, and five other frigates were also launched today.

The launching ceremony did not invite the people to watch, and now all the senior generals of the army and navy have 3,000 marines, and the scene is quite solemn.

For the first time, the ribbon-cutting ceremony was used in the West, and it was the emperor who cut the ribbon.

Three thousand marines lined up in a neat line and saluted the battleships in the water.

After the launching ceremony of the battleship Great Wall, 3,000 marines boarded the battleship, and Gao Junshan and three old ministers also boarded the battleship, and they were going to follow the battleship to the Mediterranean.

Gao Junshan took a mid-jeep and drove directly to the bilge of the battleship Great Wall, and then took the elevator in the bilge to the top floor, where their rest cabin was arranged.

Since there are no three large chimneys in the middle, there is no distinction between the front building and the back building, and the rest cabin of Gao Junshan has become more spacious. Now I live in a rest cabin with three old ministers, and its space is more than enough.

It was the first time for Bai Lisha, Liu Hongru and Tian Wenju to board such a huge warship, and they felt new to everything, and before the Great Wall set sail, they hoped that Gao Junshan would take them around.

Gao Junshan frightened them and said, "This ship is very big, if you guys walk around, I won't care if you can't find your way back." ”

Bailisha said: "Even if we can't find our way back, it doesn't matter, anyway, we can't get lost, just on this boat, where can't we eat or sleep?" ”

Gao Junshan continued to bluff them: "You think you can sleep anywhere on the ship? Can you still sleep without me? ”

Liu Hongru said: "I think it's more comfortable to live here than the inn, no wonder the emperor has been living on the ship for the past few years, and we also want to enjoy such treatment." ”

Tian Wenju said: "Now the four of us live in a room and don't sleep all night, I don't think anyone can sleep?" ”

Gao Junshan said solemnly: "That's all for jokes, let's go to the command cabin now to see the captain." ”

The three old ministers followed behind Gao Junshan and walked towards the command cabin, which was also on the top floor, and very close to Gao Junshan's rest cabin, and there was a hatch through a corridor, and after this hatch was the command cabin.

Normally, this hatch is closed and guarded by soldiers, but today is the first day of departure, and this hatch is not closed, but there are two soldiers guarding it.

Gao Junshan walked through the hatch and came to the command cabin, the command cabin of the battleship is the cockpit, and the two places are inseparable.

The commander of the fleet is Tian Qiliang, and the captain is Deng Shijie. At this time, the two were busy in the command module.

Gao Junshan saw that Tian Qiliang and Deng Shijie were still busy preparing before setting sail, so he didn't bother them, but sat on the sofa in the war room and waited quietly.

The three old ministers also sat down obediently, they didn't dare to joke at this moment, for fear of affecting Tian Qiliang and Deng Shijie.

The four of them stayed silently for half an hour, Tian Qiliang and Deng Shijie were finally busy, and the two of them walked over side by side.

Tian Qiliang saluted to Gao Junshan and said, "Mountain Chief, everything is ready, you can go." ”

Gao Junshan ordered: "Anchor!" ”

Then Tian Qiliang issued an order to Deng Shijie to raise the anchor, and Deng Shijie conveyed the order to the first mate.

The battleship sounded the whistle of anchoring.

"Mountain Chief, you better go back to the rest cabin!" Tian Qiliang proposed to Gao Junshan with concern.

Gao Junshan said: "The current command is fully responsible for you, you just need to command your fleet, you can give us a little freedom!" ”

Tian Wenju said: "That is, we can go wherever we want, and this bit of freedom should be there." ”

Gao Junshan pointed to the sofa on the side and said to Tian Qiliang: "You sit down first, we have something to ask you." ”

"Yes!" Tian Qiliang sat beside Gao Junshan.

Gao Junshan said: "Tell us about this voyage!" ”

Tian Qiliang said: "Obey the order!" The destination of our voyage this time was the port of Hankou in the Mediterranean, passing through the port of Keelung, Hong Kong, Haikou, Cam Ranh Bay, Singapore, crossing the Strait of Malacca, then going west to South Africa, going north through the Cape of Good Hope, reaching the mouth of the Mediterranean, passing through the defense lines of Portugal and Spain, entering the Mediterranean, and then passing through Algiers, Tunisia, Malta, and finally reaching the port of Hankou in China, and after reaching the port of Hankou for necessary material replenishment, and then carrying out a demonstrative voyage in the Mediterranean. ”

Bailisha took a breath of cold air: "You have to pass through so many places!" ”

Tian Qiliang explained: "Our voyage is safe, in addition to the powerful firepower of our battleships, our battleships are followed by two frigates, a torpedo ship and a supply ship, and the further our fleet goes, the bigger it will become, because all the battleships launched today will move closer to us and move forward with us in formation, and when our fleet passes through the Strait of Malacca, our fleet will be a huge fleet with fifty-three battleships and two hundred warships of various types. Our aim is to make a cruise in the Mediterranean Sea to demonstrate the strength of our maritime supremacy, and if anyone disobeys, we will subdue them! ”

Liu Hongru worried: "Isn't this going to be a war? ”

Tian Qiliang comforted: "War is not terrible, our steel battleship, and it is a huge steel warship, in the face of the sailing ships in the Mediterranean, we don't need to open fire, even if we collide, we can also smash them, see who dares to provoke us Huaxia." ”
