Although China got a lot of income, not as much as the United States, there are more than a billion dollars, this part of the funds, greatly helped Britain alleviate the war deficit, but unfortunately the gains outweigh the losses, the feeling of happiness is too short, just have just tasted, about to lose, between gains and losses, the losses are greater than what is gained.

The war has broken out, and many subtle places, everyone has begun to notice, even if all the high-level leaders know that China's entry into the war is already an inevitable choice, and their countless fantasies are still the same, but as far as the news is concerned, even if the United States does not force it, the close relationship between China and Germany, coupled with the Allied countries' blockade and severance of him, it is also an inevitable choice for him to join the Allied camp, but after all, the time is a little later.

In the past 1915, the Entente countries have opened up a second battlefield in the Middle East and in the Apennines, and the effect can not be said to be very good, and it can be regarded as unsatisfactory, as long as they can strengthen investment in 1916, the three-pronged approach will completely burst out the power of the United States, and work together on land and sea to offset Germany's advantages.

But China entered the war, taking advantage of the outbreak of German submarines, homeopathic to give the United States a powerful attack, the entire East Coast of the United States is noisy, direct losses and indirect losses are huge, directly affecting the operation in 1916, this is still Britain does not believe, China on the battleship to reach the German level at the same time, in the strength of submarines, but also far more than Germany, the white people for the yellow people colored glasses have always existed, even if the facts are in front of them.

On the British side, because of the strength shown by China, they are silently preparing, and even ready to withdraw, once Germany lands strongly, under the premise that the British Isles cannot be saved, they will withdraw most of their things to Canada, and even in the British military, they have begun to prepare a set of plans, when China really fights, what will they do.

The British side was quite miserable at the beginning of 1916, and the United States side was the same, in the spring of 1916, as if it was a heavy hammer, hitting the United States on the head, the Americans thought that the homeland was impregnable, and the homeland that they thought could not be attacked, suffered the most powerful attack since the founding of the United States.

The fantasy-class sneak attack gave them a slap in the face, they were taught by Germany in Europe on the army at the same time, in the navy, also by the Chinese, compared to the former, this is even more unacceptable to the Americans, the United States naval tradition is not too long, but decades ago, it was already a world naval power, the former Great White Fleet also shocked the world, what does China have, that ridiculous Beiyang naval division, or after 1894, a few light cruisers.

Before 1894, the U.S. fleet could completely blow up the Beiyang Naval Division, not to mention that after the war with Japan, the Beiyang Naval Division was completely wiped out, and China lost the title of the world's seventh maritime power.

A strong main fleet, must pursue higher, protection, attack power, speed, must be perfect, is the real perfect class of warships, the emperor class has set a huge benchmark, in the future to compete with China at sea, there must be more than the emperor class of warships, otherwise, in the face of China's superior emperor class in the naval battle, the United States will be at an absolute disadvantage, Queen Elizabeth class is strong, but it does not meet the standards of the new generation of the United States.

When obtaining a full set of information about battleships on the British side, especially the latest Queen Elizabeth class, which represents the highest level of battleships in Britain before the war, the United States is very happy, high speed, high protection, high firepower, the three major elements of the battleship, all of which are very perfect, but I am afraid of comparing goods, the Queen Elizabeth class, compared to the most powerful battleship designed by the United States, is much more powerful battleship, in the face of the fantasy class, almost completely suppressed.

Itself, but also on the basis of the Queen Elizabeth class, the plan to start the construction of 10-12 battleships, industrial production is like this, only when a sufficient number is produced, the cost can be reduced, according to the estimates of the Americans, to more than 10, the cost of battleships will be reduced to 85% of the 4 ships, if you add the reduction of the cost of the United States, it will almost reach about 7% of the British price, such a price is very cost-effective for the United States, and it can also expand the fleet on a large scale.

But now, as if these have become futile, although the ships under construction have not been abandoned, after all, the dreadnoughts produced when the dreadnoughts first appeared are still in the war sequence, but the strongest capital ship can definitely not be the Queen Elizabeth class, there must be a ship that can confront the Emperor class head-on, or even defeat the opponent's warship.

In this way, in a decisive battle at sea, there are such capital ships to resist the emperor-class, and other warships can fish in troubled waters, attack the Chinese navy with different emphases, and win the final victory in the naval battle, even if this war suffers a big loss, in the eyes of the United States, China's production capacity is limited, and it is certainly impossible to have more warships, as long as the new warships of the United States come out, the United States will have enough confidence to compete with China in the Pacific Ocean.

The U.S. Navy responded to the Emperor-class sneak attack quite quickly, and immediately revised the new generation of combat plans, and the new goal was set on the Fantasy class, striving to reach the level of the Fantasy class, which may be very difficult for the United States before participating in the European War, the United States was almost catching up with the British warship index, but there was no way to achieve the British data.

However, with the transfer of Britain, especially the indicators of each battleship, the United States has almost walked the road that Britain has spent decades walking in a short period of time, coupled with its own perception, the United States has greatly improved its ability to design warships, coupled with the advantages of technology and production, the United States quickly opened the design of the next generation of warships, and in a short period of time, most of the problems have been solved, in addition to artillery, most of the problems in power, even protection, have been solved, of course, The protection is conjectured by the Americans, after all, Britain and the United States did not capture a single Fantasy-class, at most relying on some visual inspection in the war to make judgments, in fact, the United States' new generation of standard armor protection is at least more than 15% less than that of the Fantasy-class.

The Queen Elizabeth class is equipped with 15-inch artillery, but seeing the strength of the Chinese fantasy class, they took the initiative to raise the artillery to 16 inches, at least 15.5 inches, this data needs to be solved by American artillery personnel for the time being, but there are some preliminary studies in the United Kingdom, according to the estimation of artillery experts, at the latest 1 year, a new generation of artillery can be successfully developed, and it will not delay the effort.

In the whole design, there is one thing, the Americans are puzzled, why the Fantasy class hit rate is so high, in the land and naval battles, and even suffered a big loss, almost the US military that watched the Fantasy class leave, the most evaluated, is the accuracy of the Fantasy artillery, 10 km, 15 km, or even 20 km, all have a high hit rate, is the accuracy of the artillery itself, or the Chinese side has created a new aiming method.

There is no way to get a direct answer, and the United States can only put this request in the reference requirements of the new warship, because according to the estimation of artillery experts, if they really can't find a specific reason, no matter how much time they spend, it will be in vain, after all, this is a matter of direction and mind.

The United States has also thought of solving this problem through espionage means, but unfortunately this is simply impossible, just like now, when China completes the evacuation of overseas Chinese, it is almost impossible to collect intelligence in the United States, and sometimes even have to rely on German channels, similarly, the United States wants to collect intelligence on China is also impossible, the natural difference between Caucasians and yellows, so that conventional espionage methods, almost a joke, as for buying, when China is vigorous, most of the Chinese, They have all been changed from their past lives, and they can't find anyone to buy them.

On the premise of not being sure what the aiming method is, the United States can only put this issue aside, or set up an artillery aiming group for long-term research, even if it does not succeed in developing a new warship before it is launched.

When the United States was preparing to deal with China's challenge, in Lanfang, another army began to prepare, China is different from what the Americans expected, China did not attack the islands in the Pacific, did not attack Hawaii, not that China aimed at Australia, and had no time to doppelganger, because China put the attack here more on Lanfang.

A few years is not enough for Lanfang to completely complete the transformation of industrialization, but the process of sinicization has been carried out unswervingly, and the few steps planned before have gone very well. Especially when the United States declared war on China, China also declared war on the Entente countries, and in essence joined the camp of the Allied Powers, Lanfang was almost already incorporated into China, not to elect leaders, but to be appointed by the central government, and even according to Southeast Asia, it was divided into Indochina Peninsula, the Philippines, Malacca, Borneo and the Indonesian islands.

In the face of the Pacific attack, Lanfang will set up a base camp, and the location of the base camp is not in Borneo, which is the capital, but in the Philippines, Lanfang's army, logistics support, and even a large number of military and civilian materials have been transported to Manila, which will become the base camp of China's war against the Pacific.
