Chapter 218 The Wicked Guest Comes from the West II

readx; Just as the huge fleet composed of a large European anti-supply and shovel alliance had just sailed out of the Strait of Malacca, a black figure under the calm sea followed the huge fleet group on the sea very quietly from beginning to end. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Queen Elizabeth-class battleship, which is the flagship of the fleet, is slowly cleaving the waves on the sea under the arch of other small ships, as a huge ship with a normal displacement of 29,150 tons and a full displacement of 33,020 tons.

Among the ships sent to China to suppress the Red Revolution, it is the largest warship, this type of battleship is 195 meters long (surface), 193.4 meters (underwater), 27.6 meters wide, and 9.2 meters deep.

The Queen Elizabeth-class battleship Queen Elizabeth's tall chimney is emitting long black smoke, and the near-vertical bow is struggling to cut the waves, the ship has 24 Babcock and Wilcox 3-cylinder boilers, 4 Parsons turbine steam engine engines with a power of 75,000 horsepower, and a four-shaft propeller installed on the bottom, but the speed is all behind the new warships in service after the twenties and thirties, and the maximum speed of only 25 knots on the sea surface is relatively slow among other ships accompanying it, The endurance is even more pitiful only 8,600 nautical miles/12.5 knots, 3,900 nautical miles/21 knots, which is a bit outdated compared to the warships that can't move one or two thousand nautical miles/20-30 knots in the future, with 650/3,400 tons of fuel on board and 100 tons of coal reserves.

As the lead ship of the Queen Elizabeth-class battleship, the Queen Elizabeth's own firepower can only be regarded as a second-rate commodity in the current world, and even the Nagato-class battleships of the Japanese Navy, the rising Asian hegemon, are not as good as the three triple 410mm naval guns, but the big guy in front of him is four twin 15-inch (381 mm)/42 times diameter MKI main guns, The hull on both sides is covered with a total of 14 single-mounted turrets, 14 6-inch (152 mm)/45 x diameter BL-MKII secondary guns, 2 76 mm/50 x diameter QF-HA-MKI guns, and even more bizarre is the four 21-inch (533 mm) torpedo tubes that still maintain the pre-dreadnought era.

In terms of firepower, in addition to the Nagato class of small Japan, even the catamaran battleship Kamui in the hands of the Workers' and Peasants' Army now, The five 10 530mm twin guns of 53.5 times the diameter carried on the Shenwei could sink this funny British battleship in a single salvo in minutes, and the arrogant British always thought that it was a fantasy to connect the hulls of the two battleships, and for the British, who were still intoxicated by the glory of the so-called empire on which the sun never set, there was no other country in the world that could compare with the navy.

The Queen Elizabeth, built at the cost of old and outdated ideas, still retains the style of the pre-dreadnought period, with side armor belts (maximum) 6-13 inches (152-330 mm) amidships, stern 4-6 inches (101-152 mm), upper main armor belts 6 inches (152 mm), Main deck 2.5-5 inches (63.5-127 mm), forward transverse armor 6 inches (152 mm), waterproof compartment armor and longitudinal waterproof compartment partitions 4-6 inches (101-152 mm), turret frontal 13 inches (330 mm), side 11 inches (279.4 mm), top 4.5 inches (114.3 mm), gun mount upper armor belt 7-10 inches (178-254 mm), The lower main armor belt was 4-6 inches (101-152 mm), 6 inches of secondary gun armor (152 mm), the side part of the command tower was 11 inches (279.4 mm), the top part was 3 inches (76 mm), the rotating part was 4 inches (101 mm), and the microphone was 4-6 inches (101-152 mm), so the total weight of the armor reached 8100 tons.

However, compared to the thick armor of the Kamui, the Queen's thin and brittle armor can only be slag, the Shinway side armor with 640 mm amidships, 254-306 mm stern, 510 mm with deck on the upper main deck, 510 mm on the main deck, 306 mm on the forward transverse armor, 254-306 mm on the waterproof compartment armor and longitudinal waterproof compartment partitions, 860 mm on the front of the turret armor, 810 mm on the sides, 390 mm on the top, 810 mm on the upper armor belt of the gun mount, The lower main armor belt is 306 mm, the command tower is 810 mm on the sides, 207 mm on the top, 254 mm on the rotating part, 254-306 mm on the microphone, and the armor is a staggering 55,000 tons. Judging from this armor alone, the Queen is really weak, even if it stops there and does not move and let the Queen Elizabeth fight, it is estimated that most of the shells consumed by the Queen will be in vain.

Less than 200 meters long Queen carries 925-951 crew members, and the huge catamaran battleship Shenwei is only about 200 people, which is blessed by advanced technology, Shenwei's main turret and the rest of the turrets are basically not left there, but the use of intelligent brain control mechanical arm and bomb delivery device to load ammunition saves time and effort, and its artillery range is far more than 100 kilometers, compared with the range of the Queen's main gun 20-30 kilometers is greatly exceeded.

Due to the surprise of the mysterious battleship in Shanghai some time ago, some half-truths and half-truths of detailed data flowed out of the market, such as the British who obtained the treasure after checking and confirming that it is correct, the original dusty design of the N3-class battleship equipped with 9 457 mm guns was moved out, and the battleship designers must design a super battleship that surpasses the mysterious battleship, even if the tonnage reaches 300,000 tons or even 500,000 tons, it will be built at all costs.

The romantic French were skeptical at first when they obtained this data, but then a series of private actions by the British led to a Frenchman who did not have a good relationship with the British in private, and was determined to build a super warship that could overwhelm the whole of Europe.

In this way, the British and the French, who were brainy, took out the King Arthur-class and Napoleon-class super battleships respectively, and the Germans, who were secretly accumulating strength, got more detailed data and chose a secret location in China as a new shipyard, and then began to secretly start building German-class super battleships.

At the same time, the Americans, who were watching the excitement from the sidelines, could not sit still, and after obtaining more complete data through the secret intelligence network they had planted in the three countries, they could not wait to start the construction of the United States of America-class super battleships in the most famous shipyard in the United States.

The Soviet Union, as the anti-leader of the world's red forces, also obtained this valuable information with Chinese comradeship for the first time (it was pitted, I don't know yet, Zhao Heng has a very bad heart. He wished that the whole world would come to build the kind of multi-body battleships with a water level of less than one million tons, and then play artillery battles on the vast seas), and the crazy hairy bear riveted his strength under the orders of Uncle Beard to build Marxist-Leninist (Marx, Lenin)-class super battleships.

On the other hand, on the Chinese side, when he learned that the world's major countries were going crazy to start building the so-called super battleships, Zhao Heng, who was in the leading stage, immediately ordered the construction of new eight long-class super battleships (the original Beiyang Naval Division's "Dingyuan", "Zhenyuan", "Laiyuan", "Jingyuan", "Zhiyuan", "Jingyuan", "Jiyuan", and "Pingyuan") in the base shipyard in Hainan. The displacement is expected to exceed the displacement of 500,000 tons and close to 600,000, and the armament will be a huge cannon of 800 mm caliber that will become thicker.

Originally, the Japanese who fought to the death of the Kamui battleship should have been the first to build a new battleship, but because of some economic problems, they died down, and when other countries went crazy to build super battleships, the Japanese once again asked their emperor to fool all the people to donate money and materials to build their own super battleships.

and continue to send a large number of young and beautiful girls overseas, using their flesh and youth to provide a steady stream of funds for the project that Japan is about to build and be named Amaterasu-class super battleship......

However, after receiving the stimulus of the Battle of Shanghai, the Japanese decided that they must build a battleship more powerful than the Chinese, so Hiraga let this titan-class figure in the Japanese naval shipbuilding industry during the Taisho and Showa periods be urgently recruited by the naval headquarters, and another Fujimoto Kikuo, who is known as a "ghost talent" in the history of Japanese shipbuilding, is a famous Japanese ship designer during the Taisho and Showa periods, participated in the ship design of the "88 Fleet" program, and has many masterpieces. His conflicts with his predecessor, Jean Hiraga, and his untimely death had a great impact on the Japanese shipbuilding community. It is even believed that after Fujimoto's death, the progress of shipbuilding technology in the Japanese Navy stopped. These two people, who contradicted each other as soon as they met, had to shake hands and join forces to build the largest super-battleship in the East of the Great Japanese Empire: the Super Size and A-180 program in the face of this existential crisis of the Yamato nation.
