In February of the twelfth year of Xinghua, when all kinds of chaos occurred in Russia, the new generation of battleships of the Chinese Empire, the lead ship of the Jin Dynasty-class battleship "Emperor Wu of Jin", was launched in Jiangnan Shipyard, and in the other three docks of Shencheng Shipyard, the three sister ships of the battleship "Emperor Wu of Jin", "Emperor Jin Yuan", and "Emperor Ming of Jin" were also under construction, and it is expected that in the next eight months, the three battleships will complete the main construction, and it is expected that by the end of the thirteenth year of Xinghua, The four Jin Dynasty-class battleships were able to enter service in full.

The Jin Dynasty-class battleship is not an ordinary battleship, once the Jin-class battleship completes all the processes and serves the Chinese Imperial Navy, whether it is the Chinese Empire or other countries to build and serve the battleships will be outdated, the Jin Dynasty-class battleship is an epoch-making battleship, it has far more strength than the previous generation of battleships.

Prior to the Jin Dynasty, the battleships had essentially the same characteristics: heavy artillery as the main gun and one or more light weapons, covered with reinforced steel armor, and equipped with coal-fired steam engines.

Among them, the most famous battleships are the British Majesty-class battleships, and the British have built more than a dozen Majesty-class battleships alone, and there are even more battleships built by major naval powers based on the Majesty-class battleships.

However, unlike these battleships, the Jin-class battleships did not cancel the second-stage main guns used for attack on the previous battleships, equipped with a larger number of main guns of the same caliber and aspect ratio, retained only the small-caliber secondary guns used to defend against light warships, and used high-power steam turbines as power, these changes made the Jin-class battleships have more powerful combat effectiveness.

In March of the thirteenth year of Xinghua, the battleship "Emperor Wu of Jin" completed all tests and was ready to enter service in the Pacific Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire, replacing the battleship "Han Gaozu" as the flagship of the Pacific Fleet.

Width: 26.2 meters

Draft: 8.5m (full load)

Main engine: direct drive steam turbine 2 groups/4 shafts

Main boilers: 18 mixed water boilers

Cost: 42 million Chinese dollars, 1.4 million pounds, 6.3 million US dollars (in fact, for various reasons, the cost is lower, the British battleship Dreadnought cost 2 million pounds)

If you take a closer look at the data of the Jin Dynasty-class battleships, you can feel the exaggeration of the Jin-class battleships, the size of the Jin-class battleships is several times larger than the previous generation of battleships, and the full load displacement is more than 20,000 tons, and its displacement is even twice that of some battleships.

Triple 350 mm 45 times diameter main gun 4 make the Jin Dynasty class battleship have more powerful firepower, the use of unified ballistic performance of the main gun, not only makes the battleship's firepower increase, and the ship's commander can be able to unify the command of all the main guns aimed at the same target for salvo, with a covered fire projection range, to improve the hit rate of the main gun, according to the test, the use of unified command fire control of the Jin Dynasty class battleship compared with the previous battleship, the hit rate increased by more than five times!

This is nothing, the Jin Dynasty-class battleships are equipped with more advanced optical targeting systems, so that the main gun hit rate is increased again, other countries' warships are at most within eight thousand meters of fire, under normal circumstances it is within five thousand meters, and the Jin Dynasty-class battleships can fire at a longer distance, coupled with the speed and firepower of the Jin Dynasty-class battleships, a Jin-class battleship can completely confront a number of battleships of the previous generation, and sink them one by one, this is the strength of the Jin-class battleships.

In mid-October of the thirteenth year of Xinghua, the fourth Jin Dynasty-class battleship "Emperor Ming of Jin" completed sea trials and officially entered service in the South China Sea Fleet.

Because of the system of the Chinese Empire, the military strength of the Chinese Empire is strictly secret, and the agents of various countries cannot find out how much, and the Chinese Empire has built four Jin Dynasty-class battleships, not only to increase its own naval strength, but also to further stimulate the naval arms race of various countries, so that all countries continue to invest large sums of money in the naval arms race.

In early November of the 13th year of Xinghua, the government of the Chinese Empire sent invitations to all countries in the world, inviting them to visit the military exercises of the Imperial Chinese Navy next spring, and the latest generation of battleships of the Chinese Empire will appear in the military performances.

The major naval powers can find that the shipbuilding technology of the Chinese Empire is not weaker than that of the major naval powers from the Han Dynasty-class battleships of the Chinese Empire, and after receiving the invitation letter, the countries also want to see what the new generation of battleships of the Chinese Empire looks like, so that the countries can make another evaluation of the naval strength of the Chinese Empire.

In early March of the 14th year of Xinghua, the large-scale military exercise of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire opened, and the two major fleets of the Navy, the Pacific Fleet and the South China Sea Fleet, sent all their main warships, but claimed to be dispatching some of the main warships.

In the Pacific, representatives of various countries gathered on several warships, ready to watch a military performance.

When the four Jin Dynasty-class battleships appeared, the representatives of various countries could not help but lose their voices, this scene was more exaggerated than when the countries saw that the Chinese Empire could build new battleships, no one would have thought that the Chinese Empire's ship-building technology had gone ahead of Britain, and the Chinese Empire had been able to build more powerful battleships than Britain, but the four huge Jin Dynasty-class battleships that appeared in front of them made the representatives of various countries believe that this was a fact.

On the battleship, there were also a few people counting the number of main guns of the Jin Dynasty-class battleships through binoculars, which was an approximate data of the Jin-class battleships told by the accompanying personnel of the Chinese Empire.

After the representatives of various countries heard the data of the Jin Dynasty-class battleships, the representatives of various countries were even more surprised, on the surface, the representatives of various countries could see that the combat effectiveness of the Jin-class battleships should be the strongest among the active battleships, but not too strong, at least there will not be a Jin-class battleship that can defeat two of the most advanced British battleships.

However, according to the analysis of the data, the representatives of various countries believe that a Jin Dynasty-class battleship can defeat at least two of Britain's most advanced battleships, or even more, and the strength of the Jin-class battleships can be seen from the firepower, speed, and armor of the Jin-class battleships.

The Jin Dynasty-class battleships are completely epoch-making products, and their emergence has made all the active battleships of various countries outdated, and the next era of the Navy is the era of the Jin-class battleships.
