China needs warships, but it has been more than ten years, China has no ability to manufacture warships, Yang Yuanzhao's understanding of warships is only the drawings in the database, the previous experience in designing a new type of 10,000-ton giant ship, when he wanted to design an excellent battleship, he found that the previous experience was not good at all, it was said that it was a 10,000-ton battleship, even an ordinary 4000-ton cruiser, or even a destroyer of about 2000 tons, their system was so numerous and the design was complex, which gave Yang Yuanzhao a headache. In the end, you have to start on a small ship of tens of tons, or even hundreds of tons.

For the navy, warships of no more than 1,000 tons basically have no ocean-going capabilities, and those large ocean-going torpedo boats can play a role, but only an auxiliary role, and are increasingly replaced by destroyers, for endurance and combat effectiveness, torpedo boats and destroyers, there is no comparison at all.

It does not mean that there are not many ships below 1000 tons, on the contrary, because the tonnage is low, most of them can only perform one task, and they are the largest in number and type, if you want to rely on this, to find out the drawings of 10,000-ton warships, even if you have a scoring system, it is a long process, unless it is Yang Yuanzhao's ability to learn and design warships in depth.

This is almost impossible, the current northwest is already a thousand things, fortunately, a large number of people trained before, and even in various systems, have been prepared, and there is not much that Yang Yuanzhao really needs to do, but it is the overall situation, determining the direction of scientific and technological and industrial development, material research, and power system research. Aircraft manufacturing and the production of large machinery, these all need Yang Yuanzhao to make decisions. It is unlikely that he will spend years, or even decades, on learning the design of battleships.

In this case. The scoring system can be used as an auxiliary system to guide designers, so that they can find the most suitable design by themselves, so they must rely on the strength of Germany, and at least let Germany help solve the problem of having and not having it.

The waves of the North Sea, leaving the mouth of the Thames. Entering the North Sea, there is only a voyage of more than 30 nautical miles, stretched to Hamburg, it will not be much, at most ten hours, you can return to Germany, on the ship Yang Yuanzhao slightly sorted out the information obtained from the British, the information of the ship was put aside first, and the information of the naval guns was to be used immediately back. It is crucial to what level of shipbuilding capacity in the Northwest will reach in the future, and will Germany fulfill its previous commitments?

In just one month in Britain, Yang Yuanzhao embarked on a lot of battleships. However, there are two types of information on the 13.5 gun, one of which is mounted on a Turkish-made battleship. They are also purchased ships, and they are also the direction that the British let go. Yang Yuanzhao was able to walk up easily, and even the weapon room and power room below went down.

The other is a 13.5-inch gun that is used on the Orion. The same 13.5-inch gun, their scores are somewhat different, the overall rating of the Orion is on average 10% higher than that of the Irish, don't underestimate this gap, unified to the entire artillery 8-9, this firepower projection ability, is simply a grade, in terms of durability, rationality and stability, Orion is far exceeded.

I knew the urine nature of the British, and it was impossible to sell the best things, but to give that to the British, in exchange for their full support for the northwest, it was necessary to weigh it, and Yang Yuanzhao finally took out the lowest 13.5 artillery, which belonged to Turkey.

It's not that Yang Yuanzhao doesn't want to give Germany the strongest artillery, on the one hand, Britain itself 13.5 is more powerful, once a leak is discovered, it will be very troublesome, they will investigate how it leaked, but it is much easier for the Turkish side, and it will not suspect him, they have a thunder, but take him out, no matter what, he just went to see, nothing abnormal.

The most important thing is that Yang Yuanzhao believes in Germany's ability in artillery, no matter what, it is also one of the most powerful countries in artillery design in addition to Britain, the fastest follow-up 15-inch naval gun in history, is the Krupp 15-inch, out of the road of independence that is different from Britain, and now has obtained British artillery information, in terms of design, it should be able to catch up with Britain, or even to the next level, in this case, take any one is the same, under the consideration of safety, or Turkey's naval guns.

It's been more than half of the voyage, and it's been so long, Yang Yuanzhao also wants to go back quickly, there is no reason to waste time, quickly get the drawings out, and select some from the middle to win the trust of the German side. Even with the help of an all-in-one machine, hundreds of different drawings, and formulas, most of the artillery pieces are similar, and if there is a scoring system, Yang Yuanzhao feels that he can design the artillery independently.

In Yang Yuanzhao's view, the use of the scoring system will be easier in the category of weapons, after all, it is the materials that restrict weapons, and most of the design changes are very few for naval guns, and the northwest has enough materials, and there are at least 10 kinds of artillery steel with better performance than the current cannon steel, and the use of these materials will improve the performance of the weapon is huge.

It's just that the number of weapons in the drawing project is insufficient, and it is impossible to get together 25,000 kinds, even if Yang Yuanzhao goes to visit some old-style weapons museums, until now, the weapons of Britain and Germany are concentrated, plus some of the weapons of Russia and France, but it is difficult to reach more than 9,000, and half of it has not been completed.

Yang Yuanzhao knows very well why such a large creation as a ship has obvious advantages over miniaturized artificial creations, after all, a battleship is hundreds, or even thousands of drawings, but as a naval gun in the weapon category, one is only hundreds, 10 times worse, plus weapons have not yet developed more varieties, such as rockets, all kinds of aerial bombs, and even missiles, surface-to-air weapons, now nothing more than rifles, machine guns, artillery, can reach more than 9,000, It's already a history of weapons.

There is no way to artillery, Yang Yuanzhao believes that after handing over this part of the information to Germany, Germany should be able to complete the production of 13.5 artillery on this basis, and when the time comes, we will consider cooperating again, take out the artillery steel belonging to the northwest, and cooperate with Germany to jointly develop 15-inch naval guns, so that the 15-inch artillery belonging to the Bavarian class can appear a few years in advance, which can be regarded as changing history.

After more than ten hours of trekking, the steamboat carrying Yang Yuanzhao finally docked in the port of Hamburg, compared with the last time, this time the return, a little bland, at least, Crown Prince William did not come to greet, Yang Yuanzhao did not care, casually greeted the greeting officials, took a special train, went directly to Berlin, almost at night, arrived in Berlin, was connected to your hotel by special car.

Yang Yuanzhao had already passed the age of impetuousness, he didn't say anything, nor was he dissatisfied with his treatment, so he took advantage of the rest to hand over one of the drawings directly to the staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Although the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Prince William and other big names did not come to greet him, but Yang Yuanzhao's identity was there, and any of his actions were not something that an ordinary Foreign Ministry official could decide, and even the Minister of Foreign Affairs did not dare to slack off, and directly named the foreign minister's letter, which no diplomat dared to open.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs didn't care much about it, but in the agreement reached with Yang Yuanzhao, after Yang Yuanzhao got this complete set of information, they sent several times the number of personnel to help the northwest build a shipyard, open the drawings of dreadnought-class battleships, etc., to help the northwest have the ability to make Zuò battleships.

At the time of signing, no intelligence officer would think that Yang Yuanzhao would be able to complete this task, you must know that the field of naval artillery is a top secret among top secrets for Britain, even if it is a warship sold abroad, it is not something that can be shown to people casually. It is a recognized fact that German artillery is inferior to that of the British, and Krupp is also working on it gradually, but unfortunately in a short time, because there are many problems in materials and design, it has not been improved.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs saw this document the next day, opened it and saw that it was a complex design drawing, and he thought that the agreement he had reached with Crown Prince William and Yang Yuanzhao before, could Yang Yuanzhao really get it, and it was difficult to determine with half a doubt.

In order to show respect and attention to Yang Yuanzhao, the foreign minister still found the designer of the naval gun and the professionals of the Krupp company, a total of seven professionals, to review the drawings of this chapter together.

Even the Minister of Foreign Affairs did not expect that when these professionals came here, they saw this picture and immediately became obsessed with it, you know, now Krupp's 13 inches, 13.5 inches have entered a bottleneck state, this drawing, may not be able to solve all problems, but it seems to be an inspiration.

Several professionals have entered the state of research, and seem to have forgotten that this is the conference room of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and they are completely immersed in their own world, and from this picture, they can find out the solutions to the previous problems and bottlenecks, and the professional terminology is simply like a machine gun, constantly spraying outward.

As soon as the foreign minister saw this situation, he immediately understood that this picture was not simple, maybe it was really completed by Yang Yuanzhao, he took advantage of the time for the experts to argue, and called Crown Prince William and the Minister of the Navy, this matter is not something that he can solve alone.
