Soon, news of the Jin Dynasty-class battleships reached countries around the world, and governments held several meetings to discuss how to respond.

British: How could the Chinese build more advanced warships than us?

Germans: We need such powerful battleships, and perhaps this is our chance to defeat the British Navy.

American: China can build such powerful battleships, and the United States needs to have them.

Compared with the previous battleships, the Jin Dynasty-class battleships have doubled in combat effectiveness, and from the date of the birth of the Jin-class battleships, the battleships built before by various countries have fallen behind.

Moreover, the major naval powers saw an opportunity to challenge Britain's maritime supremacy from the Jin Dynasty-class battleships: the British Royal Navy's huge number of capital ships fell behind because of the appearance of the Jin-class battleships, and all countries only needed to build new battleships with similar characteristics in accordance with the new standards created by the Jin-class battleships, and the number of new battleships was not less than that of the United Kingdom, so as to be able to challenge Britain's maritime supremacy!

As a result, the naval powers, mainly Germany and the United States, still formulated a series of plans for the construction of new battleships, and the blueprint for their new battleships was the Jin Dynasty-class battleships.

Britain, France and other countries are old powers, with huge colonies, which can make the local rapid development, while Germany, the United States and other countries are new powers, the land that can become colonies in the world has been divided by the old powers, and the new powers want to get colonies, only through war, but the huge naval fleets of Britain and France are a huge trouble, Germany and the United States are trying to develop their navies and confront the old powers in order to get more colonies.

With the advent of the Jin Dynasty-class battleships, a new era of naval architecture has begun, and this is a good opportunity to break the naval blockade of Britain and France, and Germany and the United States are ready to seize this opportunity.

In addition, Germany and the United States had good relations with the Chinese Empire, and both countries intended to exchange some technology from the Chinese Empire for the construction of their own new battleships.

In fact, before and after the launch of the Jin Dynasty-class battleship "Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty", the Italian naval circles have proposed a battleship with a "unified caliber main gun model", and the United States and Britain have made some discussions on this, and even Britain has started the design of this type of battleship, but what countries did not expect is that the warship that they are still on paper has been built and put into service in the Chinese Empire, and in military performances, it has shown its amazing power.

So Britain took the lead in announcing the construction plan of the "Dreadnought-class battleships", building four at once.

Britain is also the first time to start building a new type of battleship, and there is not much experience, so the tonnage of the Dreadnought-class battleships it is about to start building is a little less than that of the Jin Dynasty-class, with only five twin-mounted 305 mm 45 times the diameter of the main gun, and the speed is not as fast as the Jin Dynasty-class.

In terms of new battleship technology, Britain is inferior to the Chinese Empire in many places, such as triple artillery technology, at present, countries can only carry out two joint installations at most, although the battleship is very large, but the position of the main gun turret can not be many, it can be placed in five places is too much, and more will have a lot of impact on other aspects of the battleship, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Not long after Britain announced the construction of four Dreadnought-class battleships, Germany announced the construction of two Nassau-class battleships, and the United States also announced the construction of two South Carolina-class battleships.

The German Nassau-class battleships and the American South Carolina-class battleships were not comparable to the Jin-class battleships, but they were comparable to the British Dreadnought-class battleships.

Britain, Germany, and the United States are the first countries to build new battleships after the Chinese Empire, while France, the world's second largest naval power, has not much voice, and Russia, the nominal third largest naval power, did not follow the rhythm because of a lot of bad things in its own country, but then Italy announced the construction of a Dante Aligri battleship, but Italy's national strength is relatively weak, and it does not dare to participate in the arms race of naval powers, so it can only temporarily build a new battleship, Showcasing the Italian presence.

Of course, it is not only the Western naval powers that are building new battleships, but also the Chinese Empire is also building new battleships, and the Shencheng Shipyard has begun to build the next generation of battleships - Sui Dynasty class battleships, the Sui Dynasty class will be more powerful in combat power than the Jin Dynasty class, but the Sui Dynasty class battleships will only be built two.

At present, the Chinese Empire has only built three generations of battleships, namely the Qin Dynasty, the Han Dynasty, and the Jin Dynasty, as well as the Sui Dynasty, a new generation of battleships that have just started construction.

In addition to the Jin Dynasty, the other three generations have built only two, and the main reason for the construction of four Jinchao-class ships is to intensify the naval arms race of various countries.

The cost of the Jin Dynasty-class battleships of the Chinese Empire can be lower, and the unit price of other countries to build new battleships is more than 2 million pounds, which can already build two next-generation battleships, and building new battleships will cost more money, which is what the Chinese Empire wants to see.

Western countries have been founded much longer than the Chinese Empire, and their heritage is even deeper, and if the Chinese Empire wants to realize the "China Star Project", it must consume the heritage of various countries, and money is also one of the foundations.

As the naval arms race intensified, the Chinese Empire also added fuel to the fire, announcing the construction of two more Jin-class battleships, in fact, two Sui-class battleships.

In fact, there are two important reasons why the number of battleships built in each generation of the Chinese Empire is relatively small.

One is that the Chinese Empire has submarines as a secret weapon, and the 2,000-ton ocean-going submarines built by the Jiangnan Shipyard have already been put into service.

The second is that the Chinese Empire has been secretly developing aircraft.

Airplanes and airships are both aeronautical aircraft, but airships fly slowly and are very large, if they fly at a lower altitude, they will be destroyed by anti-aircraft artillery, and if they are filled with hydrogen, it will be even more dangerous.

However, the airplanes are different, the planes are relatively small in size and faster, and with the current level of anti-aircraft artillery, there is no way to block the attack of the aircraft.

The Chinese Empire's research on aircraft began early on, and now it has developed attack aircraft, bombers, torpedo planes and other aircraft for various purposes, but now is not the time for aircraft to appear, and even in the Chinese Empire, not many people know about the existence of aircraft.

However, everything has accidents, and the wisdom of the Chinese is not ordinary, at this time a newspaper appeared in front of Yan Xueyi, and on the front page of the newspaper was a very simple photo of the aircraft, and there was its young designer next to the plane.
