readx; In June of 32, the Japanese still remembered the super catamaran battleship that destroyed their own warship, and after painful learning, they gradually transported back the salvaged Hanoi-class coastal defense battleship No. 1 and No. 2 hulls for transformation.

The hulls of the original Hanoi-class coastal defense battleships, namely Hanoi and Settsu, were stretched and transformed, and then the hulls of the two ships were merged together to create the second catamaran battleship in Japan and even in the world, the first was the Shenwei catamaran battleship of the China Social League, plus this is the hull of Hanoi and Settsu and merged into one, but due to the lack of experience in the construction of catamaran battleships in the Japanese Navy, it had to use the two salvaged hulls for testing, after referring to some construction plans of Kii-class battleships, The hull of the ship was completely elongated according to some parameters of the Kii-class, or it was copied on a large scale according to the gourd drawing. The battleship was still called the "Kii" according to the original naming method, and at the same time it was called the new "Kii-class" catamaran battleship No. 1, completely inheriting the abolished "Kii-class plan". The other three ships were started by the Japanese in 33 and completed in 1939 to cope with the increasingly severe international situation, and the main pressure came from the United States on the other side of the ocean.

The first two planned ships of this class were named Kii and Owari, respectively, and the latter two were not given official names. Suruga and Omi speculated the names of the ships for later generations. This class of ships is actually a defensive enhancement derived from the Amagi class, and in terms of fleet lineage, it is a successor to the Kaga class, which is a high-speed battleship in the usual sense. The shape, size, generation, and main engine power of the Kii-class are basically the same as those of the Amagi-class, with the only difference being that the defense has been strengthened on the basis of the Amagi-class. The construction of the No. 9 ship, Kii, is scheduled to begin at the Kure Factory. Construction of the No. 10 Owari is scheduled to begin at the Yokosuka Plant. Construction of the 11th ship (scheduled name: Suruga) is scheduled to begin at the Kawasaki Shipbuilding Plant in Kobe. Construction of the 12th ship (tentative name: Omi) is scheduled to begin at the Mitsubishi Nagasaki Shipyard. All four ships were intended to be built in 1918, the first two ships were cancelled and abandoned on April 14, 1924, and the last two ships were cancelled on November 19.

The resurrected Kii battleship is similar to the original plan in terms of general scale, except for the double-body structure, so the width has changed. The total length of the ship is 252.3 meters, and the waterline is 234 meters long; The maximum width of the board is 62.1 meters, and the single hull is 30.8 meters; The maximum draft is 9.6 meters.

Standard displacement of a single hull: 42,600 tons, full load displacement 45,500 tons. Total standard displacement of the twin hulls: 85,200 tons, full load displacement: 91,000 tons.

Firepower: 5 triple 50x 410 caliber main guns, 16 50x 140 caliber side guns, and 4 45 120 caliber anti-aircraft guns.

Protection: 279 mm of main armor on the side of the gunwale, 76.2 mm of external armor for the engine room, 88.9 mm for the bow and stern, 162.56 mm to 236.22 mm for the main horizontal armor, 299.72 mm to 228.6 mm for the front of the main turret, and 355.6 mm for the conning tower, the conning tower.

Sailing capacity: the maximum output of the main engine is 262,400 horsepower, the maximum design speed is 29.75 knots, and the range is 8,000 nautical miles at 14 knots.

In fact, the biggest difference in appearance between the "Kii-class" scheme and the earlier "Kaga-class" is that the ship type has been changed from the previous flat "deck type" to the classic "long bow type", so the tail of the "Kaga-class" itself is arranged in a zigzag pattern, and the turret sandwiched between the bridge and the higher stern turret has been raised a lot, which has solved the original problem of limiting firepower to a certain extent, but this has only been solved and has not been fundamentally improved.

Another difference between the Kii-class and the Kaga-class lies in the further improvement of the performance of the main engine, and it is planned to install 19 ship-based boilers, so the output power is as high as 131,200 horsepower, and theoretically its maximum speed can reach 29.75 knots, that is, close to 30 knots. On this catamaran, 38 ship-based boilers are installed, and the power is an astonishing 262,400 horsepower, and since it is a catamaran, the speed has not changed much from the maximum speed just now. The length of the single hull of the "Kii-class" has been extended from 23.6 meters to 250 meters in the "Kaga-class" due to the need to add more space to accommodate the new boilers, while each single hull of the catamaran has been directly lengthened from 160.3 meters in the Hanoi-class to 252.3 meters.

As the battleship continued to grow larger and elongated, the number of boilers installed in it increased, and the smoke exhaust capacity of the old chimney appeared to be inadequate and insufficient.

In terms of other armor protection performance, there is not much difference from the "Kaga class", and the armor protection performance system of the two-stage warship is similar in design, but due to the extension of the hull and the increase in internal space, the amount of fuel carried by this time has also become a big problem, what to do? As a result, the Japanese increased their fuel capacity, and then the range was 6,500 nautical miles at a speed of 14 knots, which was different from that of the "Kaga class", to a maximum range of 8,000 nautical miles at a speed of 14 knots.

When this battleship, which the Japanese had high hopes for, overfulfilled its mission in the second January 28 Incident. The whole country cheered incessantly, and the Japanese relied on this catamaran battleship to finally become the last and only straw that crushed the Beiyang Nationalist Government, and the people no longer had high hopes for Chiang Zhicheng's government, but pinned their hopes on the thriving Red Alliance (Note: The China Social League and the Jiangxi Red Organization merged at the end of March 33 to form a Red Alliance party).

On March 29, the secret underground base of the Red Police in Shangrao, Jiangxi Province.

"How's that area of Shanghai going?" Zhao Heng, who came directly from Xinjiang, replaced Wang Xinya, who was in Jiangxi, and Wang Xinya herself was transferred to Xinjiang to control the situation there. Zhao Heng looked at the expressionless female agent who came back from Shanghai and asked.

"Yes Commander, everything is fine there, no one notices what we are going to do next." The expressionless female agent nodded.

"Really, are you sure?" Zhao Heng looked at the summary of information about Shanghai on the table, and looked up and asked after turning a few pages.

"Yes, I'm sure." The female agent replied as she had just done.

"Then it's good, let the left-behind troops of the Nineteenth Route Army in Shanghai help cover the secret infiltration of the troops." Zhao Heng, who suddenly came up with a good idea in his heart, said, as for why Long Bazun thought of sending troops to infiltrate Shanghai, it can only be said that it was a flash of inspiration, or it won't be long before a group of people and a regiment equipped with CMC power combat uniforms with stealth capabilities and a secret army with C-14 electromagnetic rifles will sneak into the magic capital of Shanghai in the night tonight, which will surprise those forces.

"Understood." The female agent gave a military salute and exited and pulled the door open.

The above dialogue was held at the Comprehensive Strategic Center of the China Social League......

"Tomorrow, April 1, April 1 is April Fool's Day according to the Western holiday, and the troops will be divided into three major combat clusters, the first group will attack the Guotong area controlled by the Nanjing government in Beiyang, the second group will cooperate with the 19th Route Army to quickly take Shanghai when the great powers have not reacted, and the third group will be responsible for cleaning the border line close to Annam." At 3:11 p.m., Zhao Heng held a meeting at the secret underground base of the Red Police in Shangrao, Jiangxi, and at the beginning of the meeting, Zhao Heng gave the general things to be done by various departments tomorrow.

"Question, is the second cluster only going to take Shanghai?" Kou Koko, one of the attendees, was the first to ask.

"No, once Shanghai is taken, the second cluster must quickly expand to the periphery, and at the same time arrange multi-legged mobile turrets in coastal areas such as Shanghai to deal with the reacting powers, first to deal with the sea and land attacks of the Japanese who reacted immediately, and then the naval fleets and landing intervention forces of other powers, pay attention to the fact that after cleaning up the Japanese troops, immediately clean up the landing forces of the great powers, and the naval ships will not be in your care, I have my own arrangements." Zhao Heng shook his head with a smile, and then explained.

"Doesn't the second cluster use CMC-powered combat suits and C-14 electromagnetic rifles?" Chen Laiwei, who habitually smokes cigarettes, asked with her chin in her right hand.

"No, I don't want to expose our true strength too much, that thing is obviously a plug-in from the beginning, once we scare these landed guys away, it will be even more troublesome next time we want to clean them up." Zhao Heng spread his hands about this.

"Well, what are the tank fighting vehicles of our armored forces used for in the second cluster? Is it used for decoration? Balai, who was dressed in armored uniform and had been transferred to the armored unit, asked the boss in front of him.

"Okay, Comrade Balai, that's the case, first of all, you have a large number of ** ten demons turned into light and medium-sized clusters as the vanguard to clean up the resistance of various roads and highways in Shanghai, and secondly, you will use the heavy clusters such as the Tiger and the Tiger King as the enemy who is waiting to land and give a fatal blow, so I emphasize here again that comrades must control the land, sea and air in Shanghai in our hands, which is related to our future." As the commander, Zhao Heng said earnestly.

"What about the mission of our Air Force?" The girl in charge of the aviation unit asked.

"Heh, once the war starts, double the number of wings and send out, in short, we want the enemy's sea superiority and air superiority to fight down, and ensure the absolute control superiority of our army." Zhao Heng glanced at the current aviation development situation of countries around the world on the table, and replied with a clear understanding in his heart.

"So what is our navy going to do then?" The captain's sister who fought in the sea off the Huangpu River last time asked.

"Ha, of course, it's on the surface of the sea to engage the incoming enemy ship forces. In short, the enemy's naval fleet must not be allowed to approach Shanghai. Zhao Heng didn't reply, but Kou was interjecting.

"Okay, that's all, let's remember the time: set off at 3:21 a.m. on April 1 and attack before dawn, do you understand?!" Zhao Heng, as the host of the meeting, saw that what he said was almost over, so he told all the participants the time of the attack.

"Understood!!" A group of men and women replied loudly in unison.

"Okay, adjourn the meeting......" Zhao Heng nodded with satisfaction and dissolved the meeting.
