If the British Empire gets the blueprints of this powerful warship and builds the battleship, then the naval strength of the British Empire will definitely be raised to a higher level again. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Commander-in-Chief Sun, thank you so much, you are like the sun in the sky, spreading the warmth of the sun to every corner of the world, you are like the moon in the sky....." Donakin patted the horses continuously, but he saw several generals standing beside Sun Hao rolling their eyes at him.
Sun Hao didn't have time to listen to Donakin's words that were not nutritious, so he immediately asked Miao Feng, the confidential secretary, to fetch a wooden box, then opened the box, took out a folded battleship blueprint from it, and then spread it on the deck.
Donakin and Williamt were originally naval officers, and as Sun Hao and Miao Feng spread out the battleship drawings, they were shocked when they saw the beautiful battleship drawings.
After Miao Feng spread out all the drawings, he stood up and said, "Your Excellency Colonel, this battleship is 196 meters long, 27.4 meters wide, and has a draft of 9.2 meters. The standard displacement is 29,150 tons, and the full load displacement is 33,000 tons.

4 underwater torpedo tubes of 21-inch caliber. ”
Miao Feng spent a day memorizing the data of this battleship, and seeing that Donakin and the two were already fascinated by what they listened, Miao Feng continued to introduce the various armor and cannon caliber of this battleship.
Sun Hao knew that the British would start building this Queen Elizabeth battleship in a few years, and he just advanced it a little bit and let the British continue to build warships and consume their national strength.
It took Donakin almost half an hour to read the parameters of the entire battleship completely, but this is just an ordinary battleship drawing, not a design and construction drawing, and the value is not very high.
However, in essence, this battleship is designed to be very powerful, surpassing the battleships in service at sea in various countries. With the battleship blueprints, the British Empire could also build a battleship as powerful as Zheng He, and it would be even better if there was another battleship that was built.
"Hello Commander-in-Chief Sun, this battleship should have detailed design and construction drawings!"
"Of course, if this commander provides you with drawings, with the industrial capacity of the British Empire, it is fully capable of building such a powerful warship within two years, and with a powerful warship, the combat effectiveness of the British Empire Navy will be even higher."
Donakin was thrilled when he heard it, if Sun Hao could give him the complete construction drawings. When the time comes, if you hand over the drawings to your uncle, and then your uncle will operate it, you will not only have a rich bonus, but you will also be more likely to be promoted to a knighthood. However, Donakin was a little puzzled in his heart, why did Sun Hao dedicate the drawings to the British Empire in vain?
"Commander-in-Chief Sun, are you sure you want to dedicate all the design and construction drawings of this warship to the British Empire?"
"Of course it's true, because the Commander admires Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth very much, so after you build the battleship, you must name it the Elizabeth." Sun Hao said cheekily, in fact, he doesn't worship Queen Elizabeth at all, that short and fat woman, what is there to worship? This battleship was originally the battleship Elizabeth a few years later, and he just brought her out in advance.
After Donakin heard this, his heart suddenly became excited, but such a powerful warship design takes countless people's efforts and time to complete, Sun Hao took the initiative to send it to the door, it is impossible to give it directly to himself, even if he admires Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth very much, but he will not give it to himself in vain. Oriental people are generally very reserved in their speech, which is their characteristic. Donakin understands this.
After thinking like this, Donakin took out a cigar from his pocket, first handed it to Sun Hao and one, and then took out one himself and lit it.
After taking a few puffs of his cigar, Donald said seriously: "Commander-in-Chief Sun, thank you very much for your support of the British Empire, but you Orientals have an old saying, that is, "no profit is not early, there is no free lunch in the world", I want to hear what Commander-in-Chief Sun wants from the British Empire? ”
After Sun Hao heard Donakin's words, he stood up happily and laughed, but he didn't expect that this Donakin was also a sensible person.
After thinking about it, Sun Hao said: "Your Excellency, the commander is not very demanding, first, this battleship must be named Elizabeth after it is built, to show my respect for Queen Elizabeth." Second, I will be compensated 100,000 silver dollars for the design patent fee, and I will not be allowed to transfer the battleship drawings to others without going through the process.
Third, help me send 50,000 beautiful young white women, who must be at least 1.65 meters tall. Fourth, compensate me for the equipment of a cement plant with an annual output of 1 million tons.
Fifth, there are 30 primary and secondary school teachers who can speak Chinese. Sixth, find me 50 gunners. Seventh, you British withdraw from the islands of Papua. ”
Sun Hao knew that the British would not agree to so many conditions, which was like buying vegetables in the vegetable market, and they would bargain when the time came. I just opened the lion's mouth, and then waited for them to make a counteroffer.
As for the conditions for asking for 50,000 white women, Sun Hao thought of the condition that Wang Fang of the Intelligence Department asked for people from him, if he exchanged a large number of white beauties for himself, and then let them marry and have children with his own people, there would be white offspring or mixed-race children in the future, so as to facilitate the cultivation of future generations of spies.
As for the equipment, teachers, and gun experts in the UK, Sun Hao also opened his mouth indiscriminately, and he did not lack any of these, but he just asked for more conditions.
The most important condition is that Sun Hao hopes that the British will withdraw from the Papuan islands. Sun Hao didn't want to go to war with Britain yet, so it was better not to offend the world hegemon for now.
