The English Channel incident, like the collision between China and the United States in history, quickly froze relations between the Chinese Empire and the German Empire. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Tirpitz, who returned to Berlin, was ordered to explain the events in the English Channel to the German General Staff Headquarters.

When asked why the six aircraft carriers were sunk by the Imperial Chinese Navy, Tirpitz replied that the Imperial Chinese Navy had a strong fleet anti-aircraft firepower, and that if the German High Seas Fleet had chosen to go to war, the result would have been total annihilation.

Many of the German military officials present at the hearing were shocked by the incident, and after asking for details and gathering relevant information, a heated discussion broke out within the entire Imperial German Navy.

Some high-ranking officers of the German army, who were not accustomed to Hitterz, raised questions, because the German Empire's aircraft carrier program was initiated by Hitella and consumed a lot of resources, and now according to Tirpitz's report, it has been proved that aircraft carriers are simply chicken ribs and should be banned, and they should go all out to develop the fast battleship project and continue to follow the road of giant ships and cannons.

Similarly, Hitler has also attracted many supporters, who firmly believe that Hitler is right and should abandon the Giant Ship Cannon Doctrine and go all out to develop aircraft carriers.

The disagreement grew bigger and bigger, and even turned from an argument to a quarrel, and then into a group fight.

A group of admirals with bleeding heads and plaster casts were called to the Imperial Palace in Berlin, and Wilhelm II, who was angry, gave them a slap in the face.

These days, Wilhelm II is in a bad mood and unhappy, and this time he slapped dozens of people in one breath, and he was finally refreshed.

"What do you think, Hitla?"

Hearing Wilhelm II's inquiry, Hitra then said: "Your Majesty, it was me who was not thoughtful and ignored the current level and ability of the Imperial Aviation Equipment Manufacturing. As long as we speed up the research and development of aero engines and increase the speed of fighters as soon as possible, then we can easily break through the fleet anti-aircraft fire network of the Imperial Chinese Navy, and by that time ......"

"At that time, the fleet anti-aircraft firepower of the Chinese Imperial Navy will be stronger, and we are still not sure!"

Wilhelm II interrupted Hitla's words, obviously he blamed the recent unhappiness on Hitla's lack of effort, so at this moment Wilhelm II was unhappy, he was not a fool, seeing that the navy was divided into two factions, among which the faction that supported the development of aircraft carriers was almost all generals who had been particularly close to Hitra recently.

For a ruler, Wilhelm II realized the threat of Hitla, which led him to suppress him.

As a result, Wilhelm II became emotional on the question of whether to develop aircraft carriers or battleships, and he finally vetoed Hitla's plan for the development of sustained aircraft carriers, allowing the Imperial German Navy to return to the direction of the development of giant ships and cannons.

A large number of German officials who supported Hittra's development of the aircraft carrier soon encountered various problems, either personal corruption investigations or incompetence were transferred, so that Hittra's wings were almost pulled out.

Hitra also suddenly realized his problem, and he realized that he had been in too much of a hurry, which had already aroused the vigilance and suspicion of Wilhelm II.

Hitra immediately became low-key, and he had to find a way to regain Wilhelm II's trust, otherwise his ideals and aspirations would be difficult to realize.

However, Hitla's ambitions swelled, and although he no longer openly formed his own forces, he secretly developed factions, and a radical Nazi organization began to grow.

The same thing happened not only in the German Empire, but also in other countries with naval powers, as the English Channel incident spread rapidly throughout the world.

The Imperial Chinese Navy is like a lighthouse and a benchmark, and in fact, it has long been the goal and implementation standard of the navies of all countries in the world.

In fact, the navies of various countries have been keeping an eye on the development direction of the Imperial Chinese Navy, so during the English Channel Incident, the German Empire dispatched an aircraft carrier battle group that shocked the world, thinking that bombers capable of carrying aviation bombers could inflict fatal damage on the Imperial Chinese Navy, but they were wiped out by the shipborne anti-aircraft fire of the Imperial Chinese Navy.

This incident made the countries of the world understand that although the legendary mysterious aircraft carrier can attack surface warships more easily from the air, it is not impossible to defend.

The shipborne air defense weapon system of the Imperial Chinese Navy has become a sought after target for the navies of various countries.

The English Channel incident not only made the Imperial German Navy lose face, but also castrated the novelty of aircraft carriers, and allowed the Chinese Empire to obtain a large number of military export orders again.

The naval departments of Italy, Austria-Hungary, the Russian Empire, the Brazilian Empire, the Commonwealth of Colombia, and other countries have sought to purchase ship-based anti-aircraft artillery and ship-based anti-aircraft rapid-fire guns from the major military manufacturers of the Chinese Empire.

Originally, many arms manufacturers in the Chinese Empire were worried about the small number of orders for this kind of anti-aircraft artillery, but as a result, orders for anti-aircraft weapons from all over the world poured in, and a lot of money was put in their pockets, which was not too cool.

However, the same controversy was also fiercely debated within the Chinese Imperial military, and for a time it was also very hot.

Since the end of the World War, the Cabinet and the National Assembly have unanimously agreed that the Imperial Chinese Navy currently has the largest fleet, the highest tonnage, and the strongest firepower in the world, and is already so powerful that it is invincible on the earth, so there is no need to increase military spending to build warships.

As a result, so far, the Imperial Chinese Navy has received only 50 destroyers that were recently completed during the World War, and the eight super-dreadnought battleships that were built during the Great War have been converted into aircraft carriers.

Within the navy, many people don't like aircraft carriers, but the conversion of those eight battleships into aircraft carriers was Li Weiguo's will, so even if they didn't want to, they didn't dare to oppose it.

But now the Navy has not had a new large battleship in the Navy for two years, which makes many naval bigwigs who envelope the cannons of giant ships scratch their ears and cheeks anxiously.

So, Admiral Lin Jiyun, as the boss of the navy, had to find a very naïve excuse and personally ran to Chang'an Daming Palace to ask Li Weiguo for help.

Seeing the gift given by Lin Jiyun, Li Weiguo suddenly couldn't cry or laugh.

This is a model of a new type of battleship, the workmanship is very delicate and luxurious, the hull is made of silver, the whole body is snow-white, and the hull is made of gold, luxurious and bright.

The whole model is scaled to the same scale, and the corresponding parameters of the actual new battleship are the standard displacement of 56,000 tons, equipped with four triple 457 mm 50 times the diameter main gun, and the main design parameters such as speed 29 to 31 knots.

"Your Majesty, would you like this gift? This is a model of a new type of battleship specially built for His Majesty by the 533,765 officers and men of our Imperial Navy, who spontaneously donated a dollar. ”

As soon as he heard Lin Jiyun's words, Li Weiguo understood more in his heart, so he smiled and said, "You don't think that if you give me such a gift, I will agree to let you build this class of battleship, right?" ”

Lin Jiyun smiled and said, "How can it be, we are just a piece of sincerity and love for Your Majesty, and it is by no means a bribe!" You can't ask Your Majesty to do anything for the Imperial Navy, after all, Your Majesty has been working hard for the Imperial Navy for so many years, and the Imperial Navy is Your Majesty's hard work, and Your Majesty won't watch the naval officers and men just go down like this! ”

"Stop!" The more Li Weiguo listened, the more wrong he became, and he asked, "What do you mean that the soldiers are getting lower and lower?" If I don't approve this ship-building plan, you're all going to quit, right? ”

Lin Jiyun hurriedly corrected: "Your Majesty is serious, the soldiers don't have this idea, it's just that there have been no new battleships in service for several years, and the soldiers are wondering if Your Majesty is biased, only developing the air force and army, and no longer developing the navy." ”

Li Weiguo suddenly looked at Lin Jiyun angrily, and the latter had an innocent expression on his face, pretending not to understand.

Lin Jiyun was also sweating in his heart, not knowing if what he said just now would anger Long Yan, but at this moment, although Li Weiguo was unhappy, he didn't get angry, so he immediately hit the snake and went down the pole.

"Your Majesty, after our discussion, although aircraft carriers have huge development potential, battleships are still the main force in naval warfare in the next ten or twenty years."

"I knew you would say that!"

Li Weiguo suddenly glared at Lin Jiyun angrily, and then continued: "You are not unreasonable, with the current level of development of aero engines, it is indeed difficult to develop aero engines that are enough to break through the fleet's air defense fire in the next ten years, but everything has variables, and no one can estimate the speed of scientific and technological progress, and no one knows what will happen in ten years." ”

Lin Jiyun saw that Li Wei's Chinese tone was loose, so he proposed: "Your Majesty, we are not going to abandon the aircraft carrier plan, just as you gave before, build two ships a year to explore the aircraft carrier combat method, this decision is very wise." The minister's suggestion was to explore the aircraft carrier tactics while continuing to dominate the world with powerful battleships. ”

Li Weiguo retorted: "The Imperial Navy has now dominated the world!" ”

Lin Jiyun said: "However, the German Empire has just made a decision, they have suspended the aircraft carrier development plan, and the high seas fleet will restart the battleship program, develop fast battleships, and then equip powerful anti-aircraft weapons to protect the warships." Therefore, the Imperial Navy cannot be careless, facing the rapids, and if it does not advance, it will retreat. ”

Regarding the German Empire's abandonment of the aircraft carrier development plan and the resumption of the battleship program, the intelligence personnel in Germany had already passed it on to Li Weiguo through the China S.H.I.E.L.D. bureau.

Li Weiguo could extrapolate the development of any major international event, but it was impossible to guess everyone's hearts, so he did not know that there was a rift and suspicion between Wilhelm II and Hitler.

At this time, Lin Jiyun persuaded again: "Your Majesty, the whole world is staring at us, if we insist on developing aircraft carriers instead of battleships, then the whole world will follow the trend of developing aircraft carriers and abandon battleships, if aircraft carriers really have so much power to destroy battleships in the future, then the development of aircraft carriers all over the world will be a great disadvantage to the empire." In that case, why didn't the Empire take the opportunity to build battleships to calm the hearts of the navies of the world and let them concentrate on the development of battleships? ”

Li Weiguo was also surprised, he didn't expect Lin Jiyun to be able to think about this kind of strategic concept of planning the world.

It turns out that I don't know when it began, those young people who once followed themselves to fight the country are no longer a small sapling that often needs Li Weiguo's reminders and guidance, they have grown into towering trees, can think independently, and hold up a piece of the sky.

It's like watching your children grow up day by day, and parents are happy that their children grow up, but they are worried that their children will leave when they grow up, which is an indescribable complex feeling.

However, Li Weiguo is still very pleased, at least Lin Jiyun can think of such an international strategy, which proves that he is really qualified to lead the Chinese Imperial Navy to continue to be strong.

Li Weiguo knew in his heart that if he found Ghost Island one day and opened the space-time node of the World Tree, then he would embark on a new journey, and the huge Chinese Empire would be handed over to his children to take care of, and Li Weiguo would be relieved to have the protection of international strategists like Lin Jiyun.

Thinking of this, Li Weiguo, who had no intention of letting go, suddenly felt better.

"What you say is very reasonable, I will make an exception again to fulfill your wishes!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Hundreds of thousands of naval officers and men of the Ministers thank Your Majesty Longen! Lin Jiyun was immediately overjoyed and thanked him again and again.

When Lin Jiyun returned to the Wuhan Cabinet in Greater Kyoto with Li Weiguo's holy decree, the cabinet quickly passed the appropriation request for continuing to allocate funds for the construction of battleships and other supporting warships for the Imperial Navy every year, and when it was submitted to the Congress, although many congressmen were still right, when they saw the holy decree in Lin Jiyun's hand, they only glared at him a few times, and they no longer objected.

Since it is something that Li Weiguo agreed, there must be more profound strategic considerations, so even if the parliamentarians can't figure it out, they won't embarrass Lin Jiyun.

Lin Jiyun sent it back to the Admiralty with the naval shipbuilding plan approved by the Congress, and immediately received the warmest welcome.

This time, the Imperial Chinese Navy was once again allowed to purchase super battleships, and the navies of all countries in the world were staring at the major shipyards of the Chinese Empire, wanting to know who would spend this huge order.

Hundreds of shipyards in China have crowded the bidding hall of the Admiralty, showing their best warship design drawings, as well as the most advanced manufacturing technology and technology, and then the lowest price, striving to win this big order for naval shipbuilding.

Ten years ago, such a huge naval order would have ended up in the hands of several shipbuilding giants of the Chinese Empire, such as Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, Beiyang Heavy Industry, Southern Industry and Royal Military Industry Group. But now the Chinese Empire is developing rapidly in industry and the territory is vast, and a new generation is replacing the old.

Nowadays, there are many new blood in the advanced shipyards of the Chinese Empire, such as the Nandu Shipyard in Sydney and the Dongdu Industry in Hawaii, all of which are rising in the Chinese Imperial shipbuilding industry with outstanding talents and the most advanced technology.

This time, the order for two super battleships of the Imperial Chinese Navy was finally taken away by the Nandu Shipyard.

The entire shipbuilding industry of the Chinese Empire was shocked that Nandu Shipyard had won the order for the construction of the strongest battleship in the Chinese Empire in the future, especially the giant enterprises such as Beiyang and Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, which had monopolized the Chinese Empire for decades, couldn't believe their eyes.

However, when they learned about the bidding conditions of Nandu Shipyard through their connections, they couldn't help but gasp.

It turns out that although Nandu Shipyard has been established for a short time, this is their advantage, which can break the shackles of traditional shipbuilding technology, boldly use the world's most advanced equipment and technology to build warships, and integrate the most advanced avionics system, main gun fire control system, etc. are highly automated, which has become the real reason for winning the competition with the old military enterprises.

At the same time, the navies of all countries in the world also focused on the Nandu Shipyard, a large number of spies infiltrated the eastern capital of Sydney, and their respective countries launched plans for the construction of new battleships, unwilling to be left too far by the Chinese Empire.
