Chapter Thirty-Six: Wake Up

"However, out of these two million standing troops, only 600,000 can be directly controlled by our side. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Lin Mengchu disagreed with what Chen Cheng said, and said: "How do you look at it, it's better to directly eliminate Yang Hongsen and Guangxi who is who?" ”

"It's not impossible, but why bother?" Chen Cheng said: "We don't have such a strong desire to control, and the territory in the north is enough for us to maintain industrial operations and upgrades. Besides, this world is so big, there is no need to kill them all who are also traversers. ”

"Yang Hongsen is a traverser, I know, who is the one in Guangxi, who is also a traverser?"

"It should be, at least nine layers of nine. That's who, whoever, did a pretty good job in Hainan and Guangxi. Although it is said that it was only by catching the new weapons and tactics that those old forces were defeated, it is amazing that they have been able to get to the point where they are now. Being able to produce an annual output of 100,000 tons of steel in this era is already a masterpiece of the world. ”

"If he is a masterpiece of the world, then our achievement of producing seven million tons of steel per year will not be said to be against the sky?"

"Hmm, without the support of equipment from other worlds, without the support of tons and tons of information, would we be able to get to where we are now?" Chen Cheng said: "I don't know if Chu Chu has confidence, anyway, I don't have it." ”

"Even if there are no seven million tons of steel..... Are we really that many? I think I bought a lot of steel directly, right? In order to make the accounts even. ”

“..... Why do you speak in the direction of the light of the sun? ”

"Because a lot of things are taboo........ No, it's because the figure of seven million tons is too staggering. Now there are many people out there saying that we are bragging, and we love to cheat the people of our country and love to falsify the data. ”

"Hey, are we fake?" Chen Cheng said in surprise: "No, right?" Although we also have a statistical bureau, we do not need to set an annual GDP growth figure of 6.7 percent for ourselves. In other words, there doesn't seem to be a concept of GDP yet, so there's no need for us to cheat. ”

"Is it true that seven million tons of steel are produced every year?"

"Of course it's true," Chen Cheng said a little inexplicably: "The steel plant in Handan is smaller, but you have also seen the steel plant in Taiyuan, and the steel output of hundreds of thousands of tons a month is nothing, right?" ”

"It's nothing, but I'm not happy if the newspapers outside write like that. This is all the family money that you have worked so hard to accumulate, and it has become a magnifying cannon in their odd and even. ”

"Well, it doesn't matter what they say," Chen Cheng said indifferently, "Just be ourselves." By the way, it is said that the British started building their first dreadnought this year, and if we wait a little longer, we will almost be able to build it in a big way. ”

"What the hell did I hear? Didn't those spies of yours get accurate information? ”

"The role of intelligence officers is also limited, and besides, the information that can be obtained directly from other places does not need to use those spies who have managed to lurk." Chen Cheng stood up, opened it and turned it into a large cabinet, took out a document bag inside, and then handed it to the somewhat curious girl,

"This is the specific information of the British battleship Dreadnought, you can take a look." Chen Cheng sighed with emotion: "The world overlord on which the sun never sets really has its own uniqueness. Although the British are hateful, they have really led the times in technology for a long time. ”

The name and classification of dreadnoughts comes from the British Navy's HMS Dreadnaught battleship, which began construction in 1905. Utmost? It was characterized by the adoption of the concept of "All-Big-Gun". Its characteristics can be summarized as follows: it canceled the secondary caliber main guns (mostly 7-10 inches) used for attacks on previous battleships, equipped with a main gun of a unified caliber and a double diameter ratio, and retained only the secondary guns used to defend against light warships.

Under the condition of increased accuracy, a greater number of large-caliber guns with the same ratio of the same diameter ratio for salvo fire can effectively hit targets in long-range naval battles. The Dreadnought is powered by a high-powered steam turbine. The ship is a technologically revolutionary warship, becoming the ancestor of modern battleships, establishing the basic model of artillery and power for battleships of the world's naval powers for 35 years, and the range and speed of battleships have been continuously and greatly improved.

Such battleships were uniformly summarized as "dreadnoughts". Battleships prior to the Dreadnought were referred to as "pre-dreadnoughts". In terms of the division of the caliber of the main guns, the dreadnoughts of the British Navy equipped with main guns of more than 13.5 inches are often called "super dreadnoughts", and their main gun turrets are equipped on the centerline of the hull.

The main figures of the battleship "Dreadnought" were as follows: displacement of 17,900 tons, speed of 21 knots, armament of 10 305-mm main guns, 24 76-mm secondary guns, and 5 underwater torpedo launchers installed in five turrets, which was more than 1 times more powerful than the firepower of the other largest armored ships of the time; The armor of the two broadboards, turrets and conning towers was up to 280 mm thick.

"It really looks like a strong man!" Lin Mengchu looked at the data on the drawings and said a little dizzy: "This is the embodiment of strength and the romance of the strong." What carrier-based aircraft, what aircraft carriers, etc., are all tricks that only weak guys like to play. ”

"Well, with the progress of science and technology, it is the trend of the times for airplanes to be the main force of war." Chen Cheng smiled and said, "The revolutionary pioneer who is now in Nanyang said: The world trend is mighty. If you go with it, you will prosper, and if you go against it, you will die. If you go against the trend of the times, you will be crushed into powder by the wheels of history. ”

"Mouth huh!" Lin Mengchu is eighteen years old, with a graceful body and black hair, she is really at the best age in a girl's life. Well, she's going to stay like this for a long, long time.

The girl said loudly: "Current affairs are only ordinary heroes, and the real heroes will be born like we produce steel and create a new era!" ”

She said it very imposingly and infectiously, and with her extremely confident face, people couldn't help but believe her words.

However, Chen Cheng just said very calmly: "Chu Chu, wake up." We now produce only 8 million tons of steel a year, and the country across the Pacific produces more than 20 million tons of steel a year. Our output is only one-third of that of others~"
