Zhao Xiaoya lowered her head and leaned against Zhao Wei's side, a little afraid of seeing Hu Lin's appearance, obviously not looking up, and then hiding back, so that Hu Lin looked a little funny, I originally wanted to tease Zhao Xiaoya in the past, but now Zhao Xiaoya is sticking to other people's own brother, and there are so many people, it is naturally not good to tease Zhao Xiaoya like this, pay attention to the impact.

Pingshan's group headed by Hu Lin chatted at the dock like this, waiting for the arrival of the German fleet, Hu Lin sighed, this is too much face for the Germans, all the brains of the Pingshan forces are almost all together, just to pick them up, if Pingshan develops in the future, the Germans of this fleet do not know what kind of spirit will become.

The black smoke in the distance rumbled, slowly approaching the wharf, a small boat at the junction of the sea and the sky was struggling to move forward, the people on the wharf found that the fleet was coming, and immediately cheered, at this time, don't want to chat, accompanied by Li Guangtao, Xiong Qing and others, looked at the sea, waiting for the fleet to land.

Two cargo ships and two warships slowly arrived in the port, and more than a dozen gunboats followed, Hu Lin watched the big chimney ship slowly approach, it is good to be able to appreciate these old antiques up close, well, these are actually the best things in this world, but in Hu Lin's eyes, these are just antiques, look at it strange.

The others are different, all the people on the dock are looking at these warships excitedly, although only one is their own, and the other is escorted, that is also their own big ship, warship.

The wharf is only repaired one, and most of the hoisting facilities here are pulled from Germany, otherwise it is enough to use people to unload the goods, which is enough to make people headaches, one cargo ship will get off first, and another cargo ship will wait first.

This time, the main thing that came was the production line of artillery and Mauser 98, as well as the bullet production line, these were the first and foremost, Hu Lin had to train a group of people first, so he naturally asked to send some of this equipment first, and the other things in the shipyard for urban defense facilities were postponed.

"Hansen, why are you?"

Hu Lin looked at a group of German soldiers coming down from the warship, and Hansen actually walked in the front, it seems that this time he was not a translator, and the German side did not send a single leader.

"Haha, Hu, it's a pleasure to see you again, this time I'm not here to be a translator, and now I'm also getting a position in the government." When Hudson approached, he gave Hulin a bear hug.

"Oh, you're an official, congratulations."

"Tongxi, Tongxi, from now on, I will be the liaison officer between the German government and you Pingshan, almost like an ambassador. However, it seems that you can't openly establish an embassy here. ”

"It's not public, well, in fact, our hearts are towards the imperial court, haha, Hansen, the embassy's business... Oh no, it's the contact point's business, you look for Xiong Qing, just choose a place here, and there are ready-made houses."

"That's right, it's the contact point, I made a note of it, I'll introduce you, this is Captain Frank, this is..."

Immediately Hansen introduced the entourage one by one, of course, these people are also an official, the people who came this time are mainly from the warship, and there are some engineers, and mechanics, Hu Lin only said hello, anyway, he can't remember the introduction, and Frank is going to help Pingshan Navy train in the future, so I remember it a little.

Hu Lin also politely introduced a few leaders on the Pingshan side, and everyone had a preliminary understanding. The unloading of the cargo has already been arranged on the wharf, and it is enough to cooperate with the people on the cargo ship to unload it, without the presence of Hu Lin and these people.

Together with Han Senh they went to the conference room in Fangchenggang and began the handover of the list of goods and related documents, Hu Lin sat there and watched, waiting for them to check the accounts and then sign with Han Senh to finish the matter.

Looking at the list of materials sent to his hand, Hu Lin was not interested in reading other small pieces, anyway, these garbage equipment are only used temporarily, and they will be better from modern times in the future, and they can be used, mainly warships.

"Hansen, no, didn't you mean an 8,000-ton warship, your Victoria Lewis-class cruiser is only 7,000 tons, you cut me a thousand tons, and the people below me will be unhappy and cut off one-eighth of you before letting you go, I can't control it."

Hulin was strange, when he talked to German Prime Minister von Bülllow about getting an 8,000-ton cruiser, he only got 7,000 tons, which is too little, and in terms of appearance, it looks like a small head, Hulin knows that Germany will not lie to himself, but there is always a reason. You have to ask clearly, and then ridicule Hansen.

"Hey, this, Hu, you have to believe in the sincerity of our Germany, this Victoria Louis has only been in service for less than two years, it is almost brand new, and it is the best warship in its class, this is for your sake, this tonnage is the best, you have to watch your men."

Hansen didn't think that Hulin would ask this question, and people who know about warships generally know that the newly commissioned Victoria Louis cruiser in Germany is the best German warship of this class, and it has only begun to be built, and it has only been in service for less than two years, which is equivalent to a new ship to Hulin, and he will actually care about the 1,000-ton gap.

If it is given to the old 10,000-ton cruiser, it is nothing, but those who understand know that compared to these old guys, the Victoria Lewis-class cruiser is much more cost-effective, whether it is firepower, speed or maintenance, there is a great improvement.

"Yes!"

"Naturally, naturally, His Majesty William personally inquired about it, and only then did he give you the Victoria Louis cruiser that had just been commissioned."

Hu Lin didn't say anything, looking at the information introduced above, the navy, Hu Lin really doesn't know much, where did he come into contact with the knowledge of the navy in a few years of working and living, and he also had a general understanding when he watched the news on the Internet.

But it's nothing, as long as the navy goes in the right direction, let professional people do it, and don't be like Cixi, the old guy doesn't even give enough money for ship maintenance, naturally there will be no big problems.

As long as it is new, well, energetic, fast, and better protected, these are gradually improved, and then the naval personnel are trained well, it will definitely not be a weak army, and there will be a large amount of silver sprinkled by Hulin in the future, as long as it is not misappropriated by them, it is no problem to have a place in this world.

Full discharge: 6,491 to 6,705 tons (6,388 to 6,599 long tons; 7,155, 7,391 short tons)

Length: 110.5 to 1106 m (363 to 363 ft)

Beam: 17.4 to 17.6 m (57 to 58 ft)

Draft: 6.58 to 7.08 m (21.6 to 23.2 ft)

Propulsion: Three triple expansion engines, 12 boilers 10,000 hp (7,500 kW)

Speed: 18.5 to 19.5 knots (34 to 36 km/h)

Cruising range: 3,412 nm (6,319 km) / 12 knots (22 km 14 mph)

Manned: 31 officers, 446 soldiers

Armament: 2×21 cm (8.3 inches)

8×15 cm (5.9 inches)

10×8.8 cm (3.5 inches)

3×45-inch (110 cm) torpedo tubes

Hu Lin can only look at it, probably, these data are obviously far from the cruisers seen in modern times, but it will be done, people will send new ships, what else.

It can also be seen that the German side is indeed very attentive, and with the battleship drawings given by Hulin, then it is directly on the big ships, and these small ships are not eye-catching.
