(Thanks to the alliance leader who is full of flowers and no blood, thanks to chen58752056, sekisushi, and Borello's three friends for their monthly ticket encouragement, thanks to the sword in the chest, it's really difficult to name or something, and the reward of the two friends, the fish head works hard to code the word.) ）

The H-Class destroyers were an improved version of the G-class destroyers, and a total of 20 were built during World War I, all of which were used to equip the British Navy.

The world war was lively, and the British also needed warships to replenish it, Gary appeared in front of Qin Zhiyuan at this time, probably because Qin Zhiyuan's identity as the grand master began to show his power, otherwise, the British would never sell the ship to Qin Zhiyuan.

That's right, it's selling.

Even if Qin Zhiyuan was the Grand Master of the Knights Templar, the British would not be half a penny cheaper, and they would ask for the same money.

This is not easy, for Qin Zhiyuan, the identity of the Grand Master is a stepping stone, with this identity, Qin Zhiyuan at least has the qualifications to obtain some scarce materials, which is the most important thing.

It's like doing business with small businessmen in another time and space, sometimes even if they lose money, why? It is to qualify as a supplier.

This is especially true in international affairs, where trade barriers have not yet reached the peak of the Cold War phase, but there are already signs of trade barriers. Just like Huang Bohan, as the fourteenth richest man in the world, Huang Bohan has money, but he just can't buy things, and people don't like you at all.

"Okay, I want these four, and I want to continue ordering, okay?" Qin Zhiyuan was eager, as if these four warships had stopped in front of Qin Zhiyuan.

Qin Zhiyuan knows the law of historical development, the navy is an indispensable part of a country, in the future, the status of the navy will be as important as the air force, and the status of the army will be greatly reduced, and he wants to build a strong country. Attention must be paid to naval construction from now on.

"Absolutely! The people of Portsmouth never turn down their customers. Gary promised.

This is very true, if Qin Zhiyuan was not the Grand Master of the Templar Order, Qin Zhiyuan would not have become a customer of Portsmouth at all, at least not at this stage, so it doesn't matter whether he refuses or not.

"Well, I want a destroyer of larger tonnage, preferably equipped with 120 mm guns, with quadruple torpedo tubes, equipped with submarine detectors and radios, and capable of running at 30 knots." Qin Zhiyuan made a request.

The destroyer is actually a kind of enlarged torpedo boat. Therefore, Qin Zhiyuan asked to be equipped with more torpedo tubes.

The submarine detector is active sonar, which the Canadians began to study last year, and the real thing has just appeared this year. Previously, if you wanted to detect submarines, you had to use passive sonar, which was called a "hydrophone".

Qin Zhiyuan's requirements are close to the performance standards of later destroyers, and destroyers built according to this standard are still not backward even during World War II 20 years later. At the very least, it can undertake some logistical work.

"In this case, the tonnage will indeed increase a lot, I am afraid it will reach more than 1,000 tons, and it will be difficult to reach a speed of 30 knots. And it needs to be redesigned, which is a nuisance. Gary finally grimaced.

Of course, this could also be Gary's posturing in order to raise the offer, and the British are very treacherous. Especially when they faced the military, who had always been known for their honesty and honesty.

"It's okay, I'll draw you a picture when I get back, and then you can fill in the details." Qin Zhiyuan is confident.

Even if he was an agent in his last life. Qin Zhiyuan also has his own hobbies, fortunately, all kinds of ship models and aircraft models are Qin Zhiyuan's hobbies. It can be said that as long as there are sufficient manpower and resources, Qin Zhiyuan can move the Liaoning ship to this era, of course, it must be built on the premise of ignoring combat effectiveness.

Before World War I, there were already airplanes that appeared and were used in warfare. The advent of airplanes has changed the shape of warfare, and together with submarines, it has made warfare more three-dimensional and complex.

Before World War I, the British converted three ferries into warships that could carry seaplanes, known as "seaplane carriers", which was the earliest prototype of aircraft carriers.

Although the prototype of aircraft carriers has appeared, because of the limited combat capability of aircraft, it has not yet attracted the attention of various countries, and the "giant ship cannon" is still the leading idea for building the navy.

Qin Zhiyuan has no obligation to correct the world naval construction line that has deviated, and Qin Zhiyuan only hates that he has not deviated further.

Even if Qin Zhiyuan came up with the design drawing, he wouldn't take it out much, as long as it was easy to use, and even the almost vertical bow shape of the current warship was not going to be changed.

If it's ugly, it's ugly, Qin Zhiyuan wants to wait until the motherland has the ability to build ships, and then take out the design drawings of the new warships. Because of his participation, Qin Zhiyuan believes that China will not have to wait until the 21st century to have aircraft carriers, and Qin Zhiyuan will do whatever it takes to achieve this ideal.

"General Qin, do you still design warships?" Gary's face was full of disbelief.

"A little bit, you know what my name means." Qin Zhiyuan is meaningful.

"Yes, I do, but it's from Hamburg." As a ship salesman, Gary is no stranger to warships all over the world.

"Yes, those two warships were made in Hamburg, so they left me with unpleasant memories, and I don't know what kind of memories the warships made in Portsmouth will leave me." Qin Zhiyuan is looking forward to it.

"It must be wonderful, please rest assured." Gary delivers reassurance.

Qin Zhiyuan raised his glass and signaled, although he was drinking coffee, it did not prevent him from passing on friendship.

"Do you produce submarines?" Qin Zhiyuan set his sights far.

is still the same sentence, there must be a war between China and Japan, because of Qin Zhiyuan's existence, the navy may not have the strength to fight back at that time.

The current Japanese Navy already has considerable strength, and it can be said that it has surpassed the Republic of China Navy with only a few warships countless times.

The Germans' way of waging unrestricted submarine warfare was, in some respects, correct, and the British might not have been able to hold out without the big bug of the United States. Since there are successful examples in the past, Qin Zhiyuan naturally has to draw on successful experience and develop submarine forces, which is actually a more important thing for Qin Zhiyuan than the development of surface warship units, and it is also a more cost-effective approach.

"If you need it, you can produce it at any time, and we can produce the same submarines as the Germans, with the same performance as theirs, and even better in terms of power, which will definitely meet your requirements." Gary was enthusiastic, and seemed to be even more energetic than he had been when he was selling destroyers.

Understandably, although the British had the technology to build submarines, the Royal Navy did not have much demand for submarines, so the shipyard in Portsmouth was more than happy to receive orders for submarines to maintain this production capacity.

The Germans engaged in submarines because surface ships could not get the British, and if the Germans could compete with the British in the field of surface ships, the Germans would not have paid so much attention to submarines.

If you can be an upright person, no one wants to hide under the sea and pretend to be a mouse.
