In September, at Mawei Shipyard, the C-class destroyer "Fuzhou" was launched, with a displacement of 3,520 tons, and four more destroyers of this class will be built in the future, namely: Funing, Yanping, Jianning, and Shaowu.

Destroyer Fuzhou:

The standard displacement is 3,520 tons, the total length is 132.9 meters, the total width is 11.9 meters, the draft is 4.75 meters, it is equipped with 8 boilers, 10,500 horsepower, the speed is 19.5 knots, and 3 vertical three-stage expansion reciprocating steam engines are propelled by double propellers.

Armed with 2 single 150-mm guns and 6 single-mounted 120-mm guns, 4 47-mm anti-aircraft guns, four 550-mm torpedo tubes.

Some important parts of the ship's side are equipped with armor 80-100 mm thick, the deck thickness is about 18 mm, but some positions are strengthened to 78 mm, the bow angle bulkhead is about 40 mm thick, and the command tower is surrounded by 100 mm thick steel plates.

In October, Jiangnan Shipyard, the first spring classification submarine was launched, with a surface displacement of 1,052 tons and an underwater displacement of 1,178 tons, and five more submarines of this class will be built in the future.

Spring graded submarines:

Displacement: surface 1050 tons / underwater 1178 tons

Maximum speed: 13 knots above the surface / 6 knots underwater

Endurance: 8,700 nautical miles at 10 knots above water, 75 nautical miles at 5 knots underwater

Safe depth: 150 meters

Time to dive to periscope depth (12 meters): 35 seconds

Torpedo tubes: 4 front and 2 rear, a total of 6 533mm launch tubes

Submariners: 50~60 people

The C-class destroyer is the third destroyer launched by the Empire, and when all five warships of the same class are put into service, it can further eliminate the backward warships in the two major fleets of the Navy.

The birth of the spring classification submarine is a milestone, this is the empire's first large submarine with a displacement of more than 1,000 tons, it can also be called an ocean-going submarine, there is a spring classification submarine, the Chinese empire can even send the submarine to Europe to directly attack the battleships in the British military port, and hit the strength of the British Navy hard, this large ocean-going submarine is the real killer feature.

The Jiangnan Shipyard, which built the Chun classified submarine, will continue to work hard to build a larger submarine, not only to build an attack submarine, but also to build a transport submarine, and use the submarine to transport goods under the seabed, and which country can easily find out?

With the launch of two new ships, the B-class cruiser in the four docks of the Shencheng shipyard is also about to be completed and launched, the B-class cruiser has a displacement of 8430 tons, which can be called a large cruiser, and even about the same tonnage as some battleships in Western countries, and the B-class cruiser is the largest warship currently owned by the Imperial Navy.

There are also 10,000-ton giant ships under construction in the largest dock of the Shencheng Shipyard, once completed, the Empire's shipbuilding level will directly catch up with the Western naval powers.

The development of the Empire's navy was indeed encouraging, but the situation abroad was changing dramatically every day.

Shortly after the launch of the spring-graded submarine built at the Jiangnan Shipyard, the old Russian Tsar Alexander III died of illness, and Alexander III's son, 26-year-old Nicholas II, succeeded him as the new Tsar of Russia. (I don't understand, why Nicholas II is not called Alexander IV)

On November 14, Nicholas II was married, the wedding was held in the Winter Palace, due to the mourning, no solemn ceremony was held, the queen was the daughter of Ludwig IV, the Grand Duke of Hesse-Darmstadt in Germany, named Alix, and changed her name to Alexandra Feodorovna after marriage.

Nicholas II was an ambitious man, previously his father Alexander III held the position of Tsar, and it was not his turn to rule the country, but now he is Tsar, and Russia is ruled by him.

Nicholas II hated the Chinese Empire, which had robbed Russia of more than 10 million square kilometers of land, and dreamed that one day he would be able to defeat the Chinese Empire and turn the Chinese Empire into a Russian colony, but the Chinese Empire's airships made it difficult for the Russians to sleep, even if one day the bomb would fall from the sky.

Britain has built a "big airship", the secret of the Chinese imperial airship has been solved, Russia also needs to have its own "big airship", under the leadership of Nicholas II, the financially weak Russia has also joined this air force race.

While joining this air force race, Nicholas II also ordered the West Siberian front to tighten the recommended blockade line, and must take back all Siberian lands from the Chinese Empire as soon as possible.

However, Nicholas II also had a general understanding of the situation on the Western Siberian front, and knew that it was those nobles who were dragging their feet, and Nicholas II was very angry about this, and directly arrested several nobles who committed serious crimes, but did not have a high status in Russia, confiscated all their property, and exiled their families to Western Siberia to build a blockade.

Nicholas II's actions frightened many Russian nobles, and some nobles immediately stopped, so that the supplies on the West Siberian front increased, and the West Siberian front will have many fewer people freezing to death and starving to death this winter, and when spring comes, Russia will once again begin to frantically advance the blockade line.

Every move of the Russians is watched by the Chinese Empire, and the war between China and Russia, which has stalled, will soon begin again.

The little Barrit team is building the RD-1 Barrett airship, which lasted a year to build a larger RD-2 Barrett airship than the RD-1, and the RD-2 has made some improvements on the basis of the RD-1, so that the Barrett airship has been officially put into military time for a shorter and shorter time, perhaps the RD-3 can officially enter the British Air Force, the emergence of the RD-2 has laid the foundation of the British airship, and the British airship technology will be second only to the Chinese Empire.

Perhaps only the Chinese Empire once again gave Germany more advanced airship technology, so that Germany can catch up with or even catch up with Britain in the airship industry, at this time Germany is building the same airship as the RD-2, but only about 70% of the completion, to complete it completely, it will take a few months, Britain has already pulled Germany down a distance.

Although the British airship industry is developing very fast, the Chinese Empire does not care about it at all, whether it is the RD-1 airship or the RD-2 airship, and the Chinese Empire's airship is too far apart, the most important point is that the Chinese Empire's airship is filled with safe helium, and the Barrett airship is still filled with very dangerous hydrogen, just a small spark, the Barrett airship will explode and burn, becoming a big fireball.

The Kunpeng series airships of the Chinese Empire are airships that have been in practical use for many years, while the British Barrett airship has just started, and the gap between the two sides is very large, and Britain needs to continue to work hard if it wants to catch up with the Chinese Empire.
