Zhang Lin got down on the Hope, under Smith's warm hospitality, Zhang Lin was a little uncomfortable, Smith looked at Zhang Lin as if he saw countless gold coins and wealth, which made Zhang Lin feel uncomfortable. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Mr. Zhang Lin has always been good, I heard that you caused a shocking storm in the Pirate Alliance, and now you have appeared here, it has not been a day or two since the Pirate Alliance was looking for you!" Smith told Zhang Lin a piece of news that shocked him very much, but fortunately he didn't go back directly, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable!

Seeing Zhang Lin's surprised expression, Smith was also puzzled, "Mr. Zhang Lin, you don't know yet, do you!" ”

"I don't know, I've not been in the Pirate Alliance's waters recently, what is the situation, please Mr. Smith elaborate!" In fact, Zhang Lin also understands why, but he doesn't know very much about the specific situation!

Smith heard Zhang Lin say this, and muttered in his heart, you didn't even know that you caused such a big storm, but Smith was also used to seeing people with strong winds and waves, so he didn't say anything, "Mr. Zhang Lin, let's talk while walking, let's go eat something first!" ”

The sailors of the Hope, led by Smith, went to the restaurant first, and Delin would arrange it, Zhang Lin and Smith whispered at the end, "According to reliable information, you let the pirates and the Blue Moon Empire Navy fight in the Rattlesnake Strait some time ago, and the high-level of the Pirate Alliance knew about it, and then searched for you everywhere and offered a reward of 500,000 gold coins, do you know?" But I didn't look for you, this matter is not over, it is said that there are even mysterious organizations looking for you. ”

"A mysterious organization?" Zhang Lin was very strange when he got into trouble with the mysterious organization.

"Actually, it's nothing, it's the secret service organization of the Blue Moon Empire, you have to understand that now that you go back to the Pirate Alliance, it is tantamount to throwing yourself into the net!"

Zhang Lin now understands that he has stabbed the hornet's nest, but there is no need to be afraid, now they don't know where they are at all, they quietly sneak back, settle their families, and wait for Montana to deliver, and then buy two heavy cruisers, two destroyers, plus the Hope, a total of six warships, just fight back, no matter what pirate alliance or Blue Moon Empire agents he is, dare to come out, kill them all!

However, Zhang Lin was thinking that he must set up an intelligence department as soon as possible, because he lacks intelligence sources, which will suffer a big loss, and there must be an intelligence department to provide intelligence to himself, otherwise it will be difficult to develop for a long time!

"Oh yes, the construction of Storm Harbor is coming to an end, but it's also the beginning!"

Smith's words made Zhang Lin feel very strange: "I wonder why Mr. Smith said that?" ”

"The general construction has been completed, the rest depends on development and trade, these are not completed by me, the rest depends on you, Mr. Zhang Lin" Smith finished speaking, looking at Zhang Lin with interest, "Do you need my help?" ”

"Yes!" Zhang Lin was not polite to Smith at all, it was originally a cooperative relationship, and there was nothing polite to him, "After all, you need to live there, and it's not bad to find some businessmen to do business, Mr. Smith, you should know a lot of businessmen!" ”

Seeing that Zhang Lin was not polite to him at all, Smith was a little dumbfounded, "Let's go eat first!" I'll check out Montana later, that's a big guy! ”

Zhang Lin also understands that he has modified Montana very large, since the maneuverability is poor, then make up for it from other places, such as firepower and protection, speed, the tonnage of the battleship is relatively large, poor rudder is inevitable, and the concealment is the same, it is easy to be discovered by the enemy, which is also not solved, but at present, Zhang Lin uses the Bismarck-class battleship compartment division method, combined with Montana's original compartment division, so that this battleship has better anti-sinking, as long as your battleship is not sunken in naval battles, then there is still hope, Once the battleship is sunk, don't say anything, everything is over, this is Zhang Lin's main consideration, Bismarck's anti-sinking ability has been tested by the war, it is still not sunk under the encirclement and suppression of so many warships, the hull is basically intact, if it were not for the fact that Bismarck's sailors were afraid that the battleship would be captured by the British and sink the battleship, Bismarck would not have sunk, although the superstructure and weapon system were destroyed, which also shows how important the refined compartment is for the battleship!

After eating, Smith led Zhang Lin to the dock, you can clearly see the construction of the Montana hull, a large number of cabins have been divided, the construction of the lower part of the hull is basically completed, but the boiler and engine have not yet been installed, "Mr. Smith, what is the situation, I see that Montana is already going to install deck armor, why not install the device of the bottom compartment?" ”

"Because she is too big, she must install something else after launching, otherwise the weight is too heavy to be launched, you see, the armor on the side side of the ship has not been welded, now it is only roughly completed, and more detailed work is still to come!"

"How's the main artillery crew?" This is also something that Zhang Lin is more concerned about.

"I told you before, the 460 mm naval gun is in the experiment, it is full of failures, and the 420 mm naval gun has passed the test and is very qualified!"

"I mean, how is the performance of the main artillery set?"

"That's right!" Smith began to give Zhang Lin a detailed introduction to the naval gun that is now being installed on this Montana, "using a three-layer gun body, one forging and forming, a total of ninety-six rifling wires every fifty-five times the caliber around the caliber, and lengthened the gun body, improve the internal pressure of the gun hall, greatly improve the speed of the shell out of the hall and deep penetration and range, the use of high-speed heavy armor-piercing shells, the range can reach 43 kilometers, at a distance of 20 kilometers, can penetrate 570 mm of horizontal armor, the armor-piercing effect is very good!" And the service life also reached three hundred and fifty shots of the main gun. ”

Smithton paused: "What's more, new technology was used, so that the weight of each main turret was reduced by more than a hundred tons, and the excess weight could be arranged elsewhere, but you asked me to install a five-pack torpedo launcher on the left and right sides of this battleship, why, you know, there has never been a precedent for a battleship to install torpedoes!" "Smith didn't understand that Zhang Lin was installing a torpedo launcher on Montana!

"The battleship's maneuvering is very bad, the main turret rotates very slowly, although the secondary gun can solve some problems, but the torpedo launcher can make up for some of the gaps in her firepower, and sometimes it can save lives, in order to ensure that my brothers can be brought back by me intact, I have to be cautious!" After Zhang Lin finished speaking, he put forward his own requirements: "But I only need a directional direct torpedo, not a navigation torpedo!" Zhang Lin understands that navigation torpedoes are easy to attack themselves, especially large surface ships such as battleships, which are easy to be attacked by their own torpedoes, and this problem does not exist in direct-sailing torpedoes!
