The sun is about to set in the west, and the end of the turkey is coming. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the 40s of the B century, the Saxony-Windsor Empire, the United Empire of St. Roman-Sjunia, the Kingdom of Wilhelm and other technological powers jointly launched a "B century arms race" that lasted for more than half a century. The world's major countries are all involved, which can be described as the version of the arms race of a world war. In this bloodless world war, the Tasman Empire, once the world's three great powers, was completely defeated.

In this arms race set off by civilized people and technological countries, in order to buy those expensive advanced weapons to catch up with the world trend, the Tasman Empire has repeatedly spent the gold accumulated by its ancestors for hundreds of years. Looking at the dwindling stock of the national treasury, the empire began to loot private gold again. Later, and later, there was really not much looted gold left in the country, and even the remnants of gold from the country's people were not much.

In the mid-to-late 80s of the B century, as the barbarian empire had been swept away in an arms race with the vast amount of gold accumulated over the centuries of killing and conquering, the violent power had to start using silver in large quantities to buy all kinds of advanced weapons that he needed. Originally, the imperial treasury never stored silver, and it was too occupied, and all the silver in the empire was used as currency in circulation. From then on, the empire began issuing banknotes to recover silver, which was used to pay for arms. In the late 80s of the B century, the country was ahead of most countries in fully enforcing the use of paper money, and the imperial treasury and tax system was required to confiscate all private silver currency within five years, and "all silver in the country shall be returned to the national treasury" (quoted from the 1932 Zhonghua Minguo Currency Reform Act). Unlike the currency reform when President Logistics forced the withdrawal of private Dayang silver coins to implement the paper fiat currency, the silver collected into the national treasury was used exclusively for state expenditure. However, this silver is by no means used as a credit margin for the new issue banknotes, which do not have any reserves for precious metals, let alone any foreign currency.

Ironically, the Kingdom of William, the country's main source of gold and silver, and the Saxony-Windsor Empire then began to introduce and circulate paper money. The banknotes of these two houses were secured by sufficient reserves of precious metals, including large quantities of gold from the Tasman Empire.

The Tasman Empire's banknotes were originally used as a tool for plundering the circulation of silver among the people, and they were issued indiscriminately without any credit guarantee. Soon the Tasman Empire's paper money issuance was out of control, and the bills became completely used as a tool for looting the people. Once the frenzy of paper money began, the result was always out of control, and in the end, all the holders of imperial banknotes, including the looters and the looted, the conquerors and the vanquished, the ruling class and the ruled class, all fell into increasing poverty, with 0,000 large bills in their hands, enjoying paper riches.

The silver currency of the past is still in circulation, and the most acceptable thing in the underground black market is silver, followed by food, and the national paper money is not at all, and the value of silver coins is higher. The empire's economy was divided into two parts, the above-ground and the underground, with inflation on the ground and deflation underground, and no interaction with each other. Compared to those banknote holders who counted the number of things bought and sold, those who kept some of the silver coins had a decent life. And those who have a lot of money in their hands because of their brains, because of their power, or simply because they happen to have a lot of silver in their hands, are simply very rich.

In 90 years of the B century, Ashina Sabiha, a scumbag who was determined to rebuild the third power in the world, ascended to the throne, and at the instigation of Prime Minister Amsariyah, he printed even more crazy pieces of paper, and forcibly confiscated private gold and silver for government spending. "If the government is short of money, then print paper money directly, and print as much as we need, so that we don't have to worry about the balance of fiscal revenues and expenditures, and we can print more and collect all the gold and silver from the people." Prime Minister Amsardriyah said that the purpose of this treacherous plan was to make the silver and a small amount of gold hoarded by his own house rise in value indefinitely and obtain huge profits. However, this "wise" policy, which was selfish, for private gain, and for the benefit of the state, eventually plunged the Tasman Empire into a severe economic recession and severe inflation, with protests and civil unrest occurring throughout the country.

Some of the imperial troops began to work part-time as chengguan brigades and explosion-proof special police, busy with bombing and suppressing the people. As the Tasman Empire's domestic economy deteriorated and civil unrest worsened, the Imperial Army frequently took to the streets to enforce the law, but those soldiers were also victims of paper money......

Like those who have been suppressed, the sluggish economy is gradually draining the fighting power and loyalty of the Imperial army.

。。

The language of this dynasty: If you are backward, you will be beaten. The lesson of the Tasman Dynasty: If you fall behind, you will be pitted and killed.

The country has paid such a huge amount of money for goods, and time and time again it has bought back only obsolete equipment, old equipment, and technical experimental equipment that may fail. In desperation, the empire rose up to make its own products, but there was no supporting industrial system, and most of the projects were more expensive to build than to buy. The empire was defeated in this world war without gunpowder despite all its might. If it fails, it will inevitably be divided by the surrounding powers, and the empire will inevitably perish. However, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and in the short term he used his former prestige and still large size to intimidate his opponents.

However, this kind of intimidation does not work against the smart enough small and strong Baiyang Democratic Federation, and the businessmen can always analyze and solve the problem rationally.

In 95 of the B century, the expeditionary fleet of the White Ocean Democratic Federation, with the help of the allied fleets, fundamentally solved the problem of naval spending for the Tasman Empire, and the imperial navy should no longer have to make guest appearances as pirates to raise military salaries. In the two battles of Cape Roquedel, the Federation Expeditionary Fleet almost completely annihilated the Tasman Empire's tall naval forces. The Tasman Empire, the sixth largest power in the world, is about to invest heavily in rebuilding its navy.

Knowing that they were running out of money, the Tasman Empire positioned the rebuilt navy as an offshore defense fleet, mainly small and medium-sized cruisers, and no longer equipped with large warships. In terms of equipment procurement, we will no longer one-sidedly rely on William Kingdom and other bad friends, no longer entrust international military trading companies to co-organize, operate open bidding on our own, lower the threshold and expand the scope of bidding, so as to strive for cheap prices as much as possible. On the ships under construction, the four "Great Khan-class" ships under construction should stop work first, it is too expensive, it costs too much, and the Borg-class is close to completion to make full use of the money, which must be built this year. There really isn't much money in the Tasman Empire.

。。

The year B95 was a disastrous year for the old empire. It is said that disasters do not go alone, but this year, there have been six disasters in the empire.

1. At the beginning of the year, the international silver price fell sharply, the gold-silver price fell from 1:12 to 1:15 to 1:60, the actual settlement price was 1:80, and the original plan was to collect a total of 28,636 tons of silver from the private inventory, and it was planned to exchange 24,000 tons of gold for 1,600 tons to 2,000 tons in the international market, so as to fill the treasury and stabilize the currency and appease the people. At the end of the year, the silver price fell below 1:100, and there was still no bottom, and no one took over. Reasons for the decline: B90 years silver mining technology cumulative improvement production surge, the discovery of super-large silver mines in the world proved reserves doubled, various superpowers and large powers amassed gold as paper money reserve reserves, a large country sold 5,000 tons of silver at the beginning of the year, there are rumors that a country will sell tens of thousands of tons of silver, and so on. (The empire used to issue a large amount of silver currency for a long time, 3 grams of silver weighing one dinar, 6 grams weighing two dinars, and 30 grams weighing 10 dinars, all minted in sterling silver.) The steppe nomads are real, the silver coin is actually pure silver, and the weight is sufficient, and the Roman silver coin is basically a copper-tin alloy. It's not that the Roman Empire wants to make counterfeit money, there are too few precious metals, and if you don't make counterfeit money, your economy won't be able to prosper. ）

2. The War of Cape Roquedel, the loss of money bags at Cape Roquedel, the entire naval fleet was left, and the majesty accumulated by the empire in the past was swept away. The archives of the Saxony-Windsor Empire's Treasury show that the empire made a net profit of 150 million new imperial dollars, equivalent to 125,000 ounces of gold, or nearly 4 tons, from operating this money bag in B96 alone. Ten years later, the Saxony-Windsor Empire built a bustling city here, with an annual value of 2.6 billion new imperial dollars. The same baby has different effects in different hands.

3. The Kingdom of Santa Asornia, the ninth power in the world, took away the colonies that supplied the Empire's grain. Shortly after the First Battle of Cape Roquedel, it took only half a month for the troops of the Kingdom of St. Asornia to occupy all of the Tasman's important overseas food supply bases and the Ringel Delta. For this rich delta, the country has long had ideas. This treasure trove of feng shui is bordered by the kingdom of Santa Asornia, but the Tasman Empire is 4,000 kilometers away from the sea. The country is very relieved to eat, and next year the food supply of the Tasman Empire will be a little tight.

4. The St. Mary's Empire, which is outside the top 10 in the world but within the top 15, has sent an additional elite force of 560,000 troops from 8 regiments in the border area with the Tasman Empire, with the intention of seizing the Crystal Valley Plain, an important grain producing area of the Tasman Empire. The house leak happened to be rainy, hehe, the more there was a shortage of food, the more people came to grab food. In response, the Imperial Army sent several legions to garrison the area. The Imperial Army has always won more and lost less, this St. Mary's Empire has fought with the Imperial Army many times, and has never won, the most recent one is more than 100 years ago, more than 60,000 St. Mary's troops were captured and cut down, and our great Tasman Empire robbed the capital and added the sea to the sea. If you are not afraid that he will come, you are afraid that he will not come.

5. The Saxony-Windsor Empire sent a note to the Tasman Empire's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, "In view of the forcible withdrawal of the Karan Canal funded by the Saxony-Windsor Empire Civil Joint Stock Company, diplomatic relations between the Saxony-Windsor Empire and your country will be downgraded, and if the canal is not returned to our company, we will sever diplomatic relations with your country as of March 1, B96, and immediately cease to supply all your army ordnance, including spare parts and ammunition." This sanction will be strictly enforced by all arms traders owned by or invested in our country and our allies. “

For the Imperial Army, this was a big deal. The heavy guns of more than 100 mm caliber in the Imperial Army were all made by them, and the artillery reserves were not much, with an average of less than 180 rounds per gun (when I bought them, I carried three bases of ammunition, and I didn't buy more ammunition for fear that the ammunition would expire). It may be about to start a ground war again with the St. Mary's Empire, which fought a hundred years ago, and it would be tragic if the supply of shells was cut off. But that canal could not be lost, and the empire was now counting on this canal to collect tolls and make international turnover expenses. The Tasman Empire finally decided to ask for money rather than death, believing in the fighting power of the imperial army.

On December 31, there was finally good news, and the old friend Wilhelm Kingdom decided to allocate 60 150mm large-caliber heavy guns and a large number of shells from the active equipment, but the money had to be paid first. The collegial price is 60 tons of silver. The matter of money is easy to say, and the silver from the treasury is transported over and handed over. Kunlun God, bless these cannons before the battle. (Li Hongzhang bought the Krupp cannon of Fujian Weiyuan Fort, 80,000 taels of silver, equivalent to 2,880 kilograms, that is, 3 tons of silver for a cannon, which is called a high-end commodity, this cannon is small, cheaper, take advantage of the fire to rob the price, 1,000 kilograms of silver for a cannon, and also put on 6 base bullets.) Not expensive. ）

6. The first domestic rebellion above designated size. Pagan Christmas Rebellion. On December 25, B95, a rebellion broke out on Komat, an isolated and self-governing island of pagans under imperial rule, and the whole island rebelled, and all the people rebelled, including most of the defenders. The island covers an area of more than 6,000 square kilometers, with 2.33 million inhabitants and about 6,000 defenders. More than 2 million people is really nothing for a power that rules over a population of more than 400 million. However, in terms of the number of people involved in the rebellion, it was the largest rebellion in this century and in the history of the entire empire. A spark can start a prairie fire, this is just the beginning, I'm afraid there will be more and bigger rebellions to come.

The Imperial army attempted to land on the island to quell the rebellion, but was repelled by heavy artillery fire. The Imperial Army was surprised to find that the rebels had been preparing for a long time, and had secretly purchased a large number of arms through barter, many of which were secretly supplied by church organizations in other countries. Clearly, the Empire was barely able to quell the rebellion until the navy was rebuilt. The empire decided to let them enjoy first, settle accounts later, and then leave not a single heretic behind. None were left.

。。

In the year 95 of the B century, it can be described as the year of the Tasman Empire, I don't know what will happen in the year B96, I hope it will be better. But the start of B96 surprised the empire. On the first day of the new year, there was a rebellion. Two rebellions.

On January 1 of the B century, two more regions joined the rebellion.

One is the industrial city, the pagan city of Vera. Located on the Inland Sea Peninsula, it is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and not far from the sea are the military fortresses and naval bases of the hostile countries. Here the rebels were the valiant citizens of the pagan industrial city of Vera and the nearby 60,000 Imperial foreign border guards.

A short distance north of the city of Vila is a new territory of our United Empire of St. Roman-St. Sunia, which was destroyed in the 70s of the B century after the destruction of a vassal state of the Tasman Empire, this important industrial town has almost become the property of our country, and it is unreservedly exposed to the fire of our naval fleet. To this end, the Tasman Empire built a new military production base in the interior of Dill, but Dill's production and importance were not as important as that of Vera. Vera produced 100 mm field guns with a small number of shells, 13 mm heavy machine guns and cartridges for this machine gun and a small number of 6 mm rifles; Deere produces 80 mm guns, 80 mm shells, 100 mm shells of various types, light machine guns, rifles and their 6 mm caliber cartridges, and ammunition production capacity is basically deployed in Diere.

The Imperial Foreign Border Guards stationed here have been in frequent contact with our border people, and at that time, pink eye politicians in many countries accused China of instigating this rebellion behind it. In fact, it is true that a good man does things well, and it is indeed my country that has spent a lot of money to ignite this fuse. But so what?

A few years later, China wrote this historical fact into the textbooks of history books, and also included specific historical facts in the middle school Chinese textbooks as texts.

The other is the largest island in the Empire, Ruth Island. The island is rich in products, beautiful scenery, and has an important military geographical location, with an area of nearly 10,000 square kilometers and a population of 500,000 residents, of which the pagan population accounts for the vast majority. The Empire has always had a heavy presence on the island, with a fleet base.

This rebellion had been brewing for a long time in the pagan church. The rebels had everything from the start, and they were no worse than the government army. The rebel army numbered 100,000 men, with a complete arsenal of guns, commanded by volunteers from the foreign officer corps organized by the Church, and even two destroyers rented by the Church. The more than 10,000 imperial troops defending the island were scattered, neglected their guard, and were beaten badly. The remnants of the Imperial Army, more than 6,000 people, retreated to the fortified area of the port base and stood for reinforcements, confronting the rebels.

Emperor Ashina Sabiha was furious about the rebellion on the first day of the new year: "The empire once conquered them, and they swore to submit to the empire, but now they find that the empire is no longer good, so they have broken their promise at that time and rebelled against the empire, which is really irritating." This heretic must be exterminated. The warships of the navy came back and immediately attacked and exterminated the infidels. ”

The Barbarian's Wise Minister: "We don't have a warship ready to use right away, and we can only fight Vera without the navy's counterinsurgency operations." It was a pagan city, and we could use it to show the majesty of the Imperial army, slaughtering the city, which would guarantee that for decades almost no one would dare to rebel. ”

A minister kindly reminded: "Your Majesty, the infidels on the island of Sideruth and Komat can be killed at will, and Vera's must stay, they are all workers in military factories, and all the heavy large-caliber machine guns and ammunition of our army, all the self-produced 100mm cannons and shells also come from Vera." They also produce rifles...... Production accounts for half of China's annual demand. “

One of the ministers was at the heart of the matter: "We have been paying these pagan workers in silver so that they may be comfortable, but many of our own people who work for the government receive paper money as wages. We also allocate rations from the high-quality food that the army eats, and our officials do not have access to such good food. We have been so kind to them, but they have treated us with rebellion, and even if you pardon them, Your Majesty, I am afraid that they will only make weapons for the infidels in the future! ”

To put it bluntly, some people believe that the heretics of Vera cannot be killed, and if they are killed, there will be no man-made heavy machine guns and heavy machine-gun bullets, half the supply of rifles, and there will be no man-made 100mm cannons and shells. But the reality is that if you don't kill them, they will make these weapons for the rebel heretics, arm the rebel heretics, and give them more armed forces than the Imperial Army to resist the overthrow of the Empire.

Emperor Shabiha immediately made a decision and ordered: "Attack, attack immediately." Hit Vera first. Not a single pagan remained. The rebels were all killed as an example. ”

Oracle: "The army is at once attacking, while the foreign frontier regiments of Vera have not yet received too many heavy weapons. Send troops to quell the rebellion and retake Vera. Not a single heretic remained. Not a single rebel remained. ”

The Tasman Army quickly mobilized 100,000 troops to quell the rebellion. The regular army also had four cavalry divisions, four infantry divisions and some local supplementary troops, and two heavy field artillery regiments (36 100mm field guns each) were also transferred, and other units and four 100mm heavy artillery regiments were added after the start of the battle.

On January 6, the battle for Vera began, and the Free City Army of Vera, composed of border guards and citizens, had armed itself with the stocks of weapons ordered by the Empire, and there was also a country behind it that secretly provided weapons...... The Free City Army has more than twice as many automatic weapons as the counterinsurgency forces. These are no ordinary civilian rebels, they have an entire arsenal. From the first day of the rebellion, the artillery fire density of the Free City Army reached more than three times that of the strongest configuration of the Imperial Army, and the heavy machine guns were delegated to the front line, and the fire density of the heavy machine guns on the front line reached 30 to 35 per kilometer, a fire density that even the Mamluk cavalry could not rush. The defenders still had a large stockpile left, the factories were still operating at full capacity, the transport ships of a neighboring country were constantly bringing in the raw materials and necessities they needed, and the weapons produced by Vera were being transported to the other two insurgent islands and to the newly added rebel preparation areas, which were said to be humanitarian ...... and business. Needless to say, everyone knows who it is.

。。

On January 6, the first assault on the city of Vila, the Tasman Imperial Army dispatched three cavalry divisions to storm the outer defense line of Vila for a day, and laid 20,000 corpses, both men and horses, in front of the positions of the Free City Army.

On January 7, the second attack, artillery bombarded the infantry, casualties are unknown...... Report to the leader, the firepower of our artillery is weaker than others. Failed to achieve a breakthrough.

On January 8, the reinforcements of the attacking troops arrived last night, four heavy field artillery regiments, there were six artillery regiments, and if they were used intensively, they would definitely be able to blast the opening. Artillery bombarded, infantry cavalry rushed together.

At the critical moment, the aircraft of a certain country reconnoitred and reported the exact location of the artillery positions of the defending attacking troops, and the defenders turned the muzzles of the large-caliber coastal defense fortress guns (one said that the battleships of our navy were present to support), and after a round of fierce fire, the artillery of the counterinsurgency forces almost did not exist. Then, the coastal defense cannon was still ringing, and the citizens' newly manufactured 100-mm guns began to bang and bang.

A very appropriate sentence to describe the attacking troops waiting to charge that day, what a tragedy! (Quote: Mr. Yi Zhongtian)

Don't you rebels remember the friendship of your comrades? We used to be under the same flag! Dear, ceasefire!

Comradeship? ARE！ YOU！ JOKING！ ME！！？？ In the memory of the foreign army, this thing NONE, it may be oppression and enslavement, it may be the memory of being cannon fodder. The cannon fodder that is now being blown up by artillery fire is the Tasman Empire itself, and the officers and soldiers of the foreign armies of the former Empire are very happy.

。。

On the night of January 8, Ashina Sabiha, the suspected last emperor, was furious and shouted: "Send troops to continue the attack, and you must kill all the rebels of Vera." All the heretics there must be killed. All!! ”

But the offensive can no longer be organized in the short term, it's time to replace, the empire has troops, and it will take time. During this time of redeployment and mobilization of troops, news of the rebels' resounding victory spread.

Soon the Emperor discovered that there were too many infidels. The rebellion spread like wildfire. Vera's victory inspired every brave man under the oppression of the Empire.

On January 10, in Verdo, a major town in the textile and garment industry, the supply of high-end textiles was cut off, and it seemed that there were no clothes to wear.

On January 16, the native tribes of the Frontier Dogle Steppe Empire rebelled and directly declared their annexation to another country. To this the emperor lamented: "You are from your own people, this is your country, you actually ......" He probably did not remember, that tribe had been the main source of cannon fodder in wartime for many years.

January 15, Mannie Island, south of Ruth Island.

January 19, Sag Island, north of Ruth Island.

January 24, Loris Island near Sag Island.

Throughout the month of January, rebellions continued to spread, and by the end of the month there were rebellions in almost all the provinces of the empire that had been conquered by infidels, mostly infidels, numbering more than 10 million. The vast majority of rebel areas are islands, and without a navy, counterinsurgency is a dream!!

There are many other areas that are extremely important. The series of rebellions triggered by the White Ocean Federation's destruction of the Imperial Navy seems to be on the verge of reducing the Imperial Army to a naked unarmed army. To make matters worse, it wasn't just the infidels who were rebelling, but even some of their own people who had conquered earlier in the empire.

In the year 96 of the B century, the beginning of the year was actually this pattern, and the year seemed destined to be more ups and downs than the year B95.

。。

Navy! Navy! The Empire needs a navy more than ever!! Navy, Navy, come out quickly.

From January 10, B96, the Tasman Imperial Naval Equipment Department began to receive bids from several related shipyards, and even said that it would send technical experts and engineers to bring drawings.

B96 February 10 bidding deadline, a total of 65 warship bids received from 55 shipyards in 20 countries, after seeing the quotation of most of the shipyards, the Tasmanstean army was shocked, Nima, warships are so cheap, is this reliable!?? Many cruisers of more than 3,000 tons were quoted for less than 50,000 ounces of gold.

The price of several private shipyards in Zhejiang and Jiangsu is only one-fifth of the price of more expensive regular manufacturers!! People's bidding slogan, less than 30,000 ounces, high-imitation advanced cruiser drove home.

Through a certain arms company, he asked: "Almost the same drawings, a good factory costs 150,000 ounces of gold, but their warship only costs 30,000 ounces, why is it so cheap?" “

The private shipyard replied: "Don't look at the drawings, that thing is not useful, as long as you are not a powerful country, he may not be able to manufacture it for you according to the drawings." My boat definitely looks the same as his, and it's cheaper than his house, so don't drag it out and really fight. He sank his bag and met someone's ship, and promised to sink it. I'm packing and sinking, as long as I fight with others, my ship will definitely be sunk. I have a cheaper one than packing a sunken warship, sheltering in the wind, more than 10,000 ounces, the cheapest warship is called a military port stop, it definitely has a deterrent effect, the price is less than 6,000 ounces of gold, do you want it? I have a rebate, how about adding two percent to the standard of the unspoken rules in your industry? “

The enemy is pressing the border, the war is about to start, and the domestic rebels are fighting everywhere. This kind of packing is heavy, do you dare to ask for it??!! Unreliable, too unreliable!!

In the end, the Tasman Imperial Naval Armament Department chose to spend new money and follow the old path, and decided to buy Grumman's high-priced warships, which could be bought immediately and could be used well.

"Let's buy Bruno. After all, you can rest assured that the firepower is fierce and fast, and this time their price is not expensive, only 100,000 ounces of gold to send 3 bases of ammunition, the economic crisis, and the arms export tax is also exempted. The overall price is really cheap. The most important thing is that people accept silver to pay their bills. The gold of the imperial treasury has been ......"

The Grumman shipbuilding company was fully scheduled, and the Tasman Empire's counterinsurgency needs were precisely the ready-made goods of this kind of warship. In a hurry, the country did not hesitate to pay liquidated damages and increase the purchase, withheld all orders from other countries, and purchased a total of 9 ships of this type twice (all of which can be completed in a short period of time), and all of these ships were built overtime, and finally all the deliveries were completed before the end of B96. The country has a navy again.

Counting the 6 Borg-class ships that were piled up by the Kingdom of William with the surplus gold from the treasury, the 9 Bruno-class ships bought with silver, and the remnants of the navy that escaped, 4 Borgs and 1 Bruno, the country is a medium-sized naval power with 20 cruisers.

At that time, the price of silver had stabilized, and the conversion price of gold and silver was around 1:90 (now it is also this price, silver has not recovered since it collapsed, and the production is there), and the full price of each warship is 9 million ounces of silver, 280,000,000 grams of silver, and 280 tons. This is a 3,500-ton light cruiser made of steel, and the price is actually one-tenth of its own weight in silver. Including liquidated damages, it's more than that. (I know why countries reserve gold and don't play silver.) The silver value density is too low, and it is not as good as DDR memory modules. ）

Arms, that's the price. There is no way to fight a war. This naval rebuild cost a staggering 3,200 tons of silver. There is no way, our turkey empire has to continue to loot and dig three feet into the ground. In B97, the country's new government also spent more than 1,600 tons of silver from the second-hand arms market to buy 6 warships of this type. The country has purchased a total of 35 ships of this type, making it the largest buyer of this type of ship.

(U.S. Army's Baltimore-class heavy patrol during World War II, $33 million; At that time, gold was 35 dollars an ounce, which required 1 million ounces of gold to be such a heavy cruiser. 31 tons of gold for a heavy cruiser, as soon as the cannon sounds, 10,000 taels of gold, this is how the military factory makes money, this price is very profitable, it must be profitable, the rules of the industry are like this. ）

The international silver price has depreciated sharply, and domestic rebels have risen everywhere, and this military purchase is somewhat sad against this background. The empire's wealth seems to be about to dry up, and there are no more such arms purchases. The project of building its own warships allowed the empire's surplus gold to go abroad, and the purchase of military projects to rebuild the navy cost the empire a tenth of the cash in its treasury.

In order to quell the rebellion, the Tasman Empire was released, and there were only a few thousand tons of silver.

This seems to be a bit of a waste of money when the arms race was just beginning. The old emperor of that year was at the top of the world's naval power list for the empire, but he set aside nearly half of the treasury gold to build the navy. But the ending is ............

The same taste seems to have been doomed to the same tragic end.
