【2nd Update】

The telegram sent to Qin Kai's hand, the content is actually not complicated, the Plymouth Heisenberg Precision Manufacturing Company, which was finally controlled by the complex equity, completed the merger and acquisition of a new technology last month, and the technology provider is Mr. Polan, an executive of the Tailantaipu Precision Machinery Factory, in fact, the well-known Tailantaipu Precision Machinery Factory in the United Kingdom did not produce any military-related products at all, but the British executive who is full of scientific research and development was suddenly interested in research and development of fire control after a trip to the Mediterranean.

However, because the HS series of shooting commanders manufactured by Heisenberg Precision Machinery and the Dreyer Fire Control produced by Dreyer Machinery had already received a large number of orders from the Royal Navy under the secret instruction of Qin Kai, Mr. Pran's cousin, a naval cruiser commander, finally had the opportunity to study the current fire control system of the Royal Navy, and finally formed his idea of fire control.

This Pulan surveying and mapping system, which was spontaneously researched by a military layman, is in fact the prototype of the integrated fire control of later generations, and the concept put forward by the real yàn room established by Pulan is, in some concepts, related to the dragon series of integrated fire control developed by the domestic 311 test! So...... Although the fire control system of the Pulan system is not an independent fire control system at all, it has long been included in the object that Heisenberg Precision Machinery must merge!

Poirot the Fat sent his most capable men to offer the executive of the Tylantech Precision Machinery Company a series of extremely generous terms in exchange for the right to buy out the research results of the Puran Sit Yàn Office for 10 years. And I want to promise each other. Once the design is perfected. Priority will be given to the Royal Navy...... Of course, this is just a promise, and Poirot has his own way of implementing it.

The Pranshi Yàn Room did not originally intend to sell the results of this half-tone, but considering that Heisenberg Precision Machinery is also the first-class supplier of naval precision machinery in the United Kingdom, it finally signed a contract with generous treatment, according to which all the content related to Pran's fire control was recognized as a trade secret. Privileged for 15 years, and five former researchers were also poached to the new company.

Quietly strangling a potential opponent is not the biggest achievement for Qin Kai, stifling Pulan's concept of fire control, which is the key to this series of layouts, and the Intelligence Department even proposed a plan to quietly extinguish the mouth, but it was ultimately vetoed by the Ministry of Military Affairs.

In February, as the slipways of major shipyards in Germany were full of battleships and merchant ships built on behalf of others, the supply of domestic marine steel production capacity in Germany was in short supply, and the manufacture of marine steel was obviously not a business that small steel mills could undertake. Therefore, the German Minister to China, Lübuk, was authorized by Berlin. Secretly negotiating with China......

Today's China's four major heavy industry shipyards, in addition to the export of Chile, Ottoman warships, the main undertaking is the construction of coast guard frigates, these two or three thousand tons of small guys, simply can not feed the production capacity of large heavy industry, at the beginning of the year, by the national industrial fund to the four major heavy industry injection of more than 50 million yuan, for the transformation and construction of larger dry dock and outfitting platform, the purpose of government investment is obviously self-evident, which makes the major heavy industries have invested a large number of technical personnel in the research and development of new concept ships, In order to ensure their respective technical reserves in the field of design.

The Ministry of Industry soon informed the German Minister Brück of the results of the negotiations, and the German side originally hoped that China would be responsible for the manufacture of the main keel and main armor belt, but in the end the four major heavy industries enthusiastically subcontracted all the difficult components, even including the 280mm main guns and gun mounts on the Nassau-class battleships.

In March, news came from Berlin that due to the overall price of the Nassau-class battleships built in China, the entire freight was 10% cheaper than at the Hamburg and Volken shipyards, and considering the commitment between China and Britain not to sell the entire armament to Germany, the Beijing government agreed to the German request and decided that all the components except the power system would be built by the Chinese factory, and then shipped back to China by guò for assembly, while Kaiser Wilhelm II was under the construction of the Admiral Minister Tirpitz. It was decided that the Royal Shipyards would begin the design of newer versions of naval dreadnoughts.

In the middle of the year, after very difficult negotiations, Prime Minister Bannerman, the new British cabinet, finally granted the Transvaal and Orange the autonomy of the Boer region again, but the Boers swore an oath of naturalization of the British Empire, and finally solved the great troubles that had plagued the empire for nearly eight years, and the whole South African region finally regained peace, and successfully transferred more than 20 million pounds of huge profits to the mainland that year.

In less than a year, the US Navy added three new Connecticut-class battleships, and three warships of the same type were rebuilt, which created a situation in which the Pacific Ocean was not at peace, and the US Navy, which has more than 22 battleships, will not be willing to be a spectator on the other side of the Pacific Ocean in any case.

Prime Minister Bannerman naturally understands China's concerns, in fact, the United States and Britain are now in the same boat, this is already a fact that the British Empire has to accept, if the United States is included in the British Empire's rivalry, it means that the empire, whose economic power has slipped to the fourth place in the world, has to face the challenge of the world's first and second economic powers, which is not a good idea.

Although Prime Minister Bannerman politely agreed with China's point of view and said that he would negotiate with President Roosevelt of the United States of America to ensure China's interests in the Pacific, Chen Bo naturally felt the paleness of this diplomatic rhetoric, and he quickly confirmed his inference through his own British channels, and immediately sent a telegram to China.

In the telegram, the Chinese diplomat, who had served in London for more than 20 years, warned the Beijing government in very stern terms: Britain was convinced that it would reach some kind of military agreement with the United States, which would directly challenge China's sea power in the Pacific!

When Chen Jitong submitted this secret telegram at a cabinet meeting, Xu Shoushan, chief of the Ministry of Military Affairs, also immediately submitted a plan for the Admiralty to restart the construction of naval armaments as soon as possible. The four fleets have been in the past 8 years. New warships were practically not accepted. In addition to a small number of test ships, a large number of old warships, built 20 years ago, are in service with the Navy.

Of course, what the fleets are most dissatisfied with is that all the new warships have been transferred to the Northern Fleet for testing, and the senior commanders and front-line senior officers of the other three fleets have to go to the Northern Fleet every year to participate in the navigation exercises of the new warships to ensure that they can understand the changes in the country's maritime forces...... So, after years of silence. Even Xu Shoushan began to be a little impatient.

Taking into account the cost of new battleships, it was planned to build 98 new naval warships, including 32 battleships, 4 battle cruisers, 10 large cruisers, 50 new destroyers, and 2 aircraft carriers, within 10 years, starting in 1908.

Once the navy completes this "98 Fleet Navy Case," a large number of warships will be eliminated from the coast guard force, and among the four major fleets, the Pacific Fleet will be able to gather a super-large fleet of 20 battleships, 2 aircraft carriers, 30 destroyers, and 10 supply ships. Relying on the military port fortresses on the Hawaii and Panama lines under construction, complete the comprehensive control of the entire Pacific Ocean. The three fleets of the North, the Mainland, and the Indian Ocean can also form a luxurious lineup of more than 5 battleships......

It's just that although this plan has been privately solicited by the cabinet in advance, it was quickly opposed by Tang Shaoyi, Xu Jianyin and Premier Zhou Ruidong, and the American threat that Xu Shoushan repeatedly emphasized, Zhou Ruidong raised Qin Kai in a very high-profile manner, "The chairman has evaluated the combat capability of the navy, and the commander of the Northern Fleet Tang Qingshan is also convinced that the current Guangzhou-class battleships with the Dreadnought and Chang'an-class are enough to confront the US Navy circling the South Pacific!" ”

Canton-class battleship...... This is naturally the only trump card of the Chinese Navy at present, the problem is that there seems to be only one trump card in this trump card, if the Yankees really want to enter the Pacific Ocean, this trump card is good or not, it is really a bit difficult to say!

Zhou Ruidong naturally knows the difficulties of the Ministry of Military Affairs today, military spending and economy, at least for the time being, it is a contradiction that is difficult to reconcile, but at least it can be appeased, at the cabinet meeting that day, after consultation, the Ministry of Finance agreed to allocate 8 million yuan to complete the modernization of six divisions and troops...... As for the Navy, the Cabinet of Ministers agreed only on two research and development options for destroyers and submarines.

Two weeks later, when a group of military bigwigs came to complain to Qin Kai in the name of visiting the Northern Fleet, they were unsurprisingly severely criticized by Qin Kai, "...... The country has just solved the problem of having enough to eat, and there are still tens of millions of people living in extreme poverty in the interior, so you have come up with such an armament plan that costs nearly 400 million yuan, which is to make these ordinary people poor for another ten years? When the time comes, how will we, the Baathists, explain to the people? ”

Qin Kai came up with a big reason, naturally he didn't want to be verbose with these guys, and he just made a statement, these guys were obviously hungry and dizzy, but this was a sacrifice that the country had to make to develop, fortunately, a little later, a series of weapons and equipment displayed at the test site in the northern real yàn room finally made the army and these war maniacs see hope.

"I'll it, this cannon that you can carry with you is really outrageous...... Match our division with hundreds, so don't we all transform into Super Saiyans? After Chen Dong, the commander of the 21st Division, saw the demonstration of the 52mm recoilless gun, he immediately shouted shamelessly, so that Qin Kai also had a strange expression after hearing the words of this Super Saiyan...... When did you talk to these bastards about this?

"This thing is called a general-purpose machine gun? Can you use MG Heavy Machine's bullet chain? It is required to be equipped to the troops immediately, and now an MG machine gun squad can be equipped with at least 3 guns, what a fierce firepower! ”

"Isn't this thing called an armored car? Why is it still carrying 60 guns now? That is, it runs like a snail...... It seems that it is not as good as an armored train running on the railway! ”

"It's called a howitzer? Specifically against trench fortifications? When will we be able to equip our division with a howitzer regiment? (A pie-in-the-sky event, cool phones are waiting for you!)
