Regarding the Shipbuilding Administration, Lin Haijiang hesitated for a moment and said to Xia Bin and Huang Huailiang: "The Empire's shipbuilding industry has just started, and the large machine tools and hydraulic presses used to manufacture ships are all imported, and your serious attitude is good, but at this moment, the core task of the Imperial Shipbuilding Agency and various shipyards is to cooperate with the General Administration of Science and Technology and the Admiralty, and the Empire needs high-ranking warships, understand?" ”

Lin Haijiang's words are equivalent to giving a definition to the Ship Administration, that is, to tell Xia Bin and Huang Huailiang clearly that the two of you are cooperating with the General Administration of Science and Technology and the Admiralty, not to let you argue with others, you can give others whatever the Admiralty wants, and talk less nonsense in the future!

Xia Bin and Huang Huailiang kept wiping the sweat on their heads, Lin Haijiang looked at the two of them and continued to be very serious: "The empire is in ruins, as a senior administrative official of the imperial political axe, I hope you can understand who you are serving?" Including me, you, we must all serve the people's mass area of China, instead of letting us do nothing to form a small circle, form a party and run a private business to ride on the people's head as a prestige, such people have been found out, the evidence is conclusive, I have one to kill one, two to kill a pair, absolutely not tolerated and connived! ”

Lin Haijiang glanced at Xia Bin and Huang Huailiang, who were pale, and snorted: "Do you understand?" ”

Xia Bin and Huang Huailiang hurriedly bowed their heads and said, "Understood!" I see! ”

Lin Haijiang frowned slightly and said, "Do you really understand?" As a high-ranking administrative official of the Empire, it is tantamount to dereliction of duty to ruffle in one's own work! ”

Xia Bin and Huang Huailiang said yes again and again, Lin Haijiang nodded with satisfaction and said: "You are all elites selected from among the international students selected by the empire, the road will be longer in the future, you must grasp yourself, and seriously treat your current work from the perspective of the fundamental interests of the empire, rather than from the perspective and interests of your small circle, I said a little too much today, but it is the purpose to punish the former and the latter to cure the disease and save talents, you must also think clearly when you go back, the empire will carry out a rectification campaign in more than 100 million years, In response to the growing number of unhealthy tendencies within the Empire, as senior administrators of the Empire, you must know to lead by example and always put the interests of the Empire as the supreme interest! ”

After Xia Bin and Huang Huailiang left, Lin Haijiang poured Li Haibo a cup of tea, and said a little angrily: "Xia Bin and Huang Huailiang are both natives of Guangzhou, they were both engaged in statistical work in the Imperial Fortress when they studied abroad, and later performed outstandingly, especially in the construction of ports and shipbuilding, so they were promoted to the director and deputy director of the Ship Administration after evaluation and assessment, I didn't expect them to dare to play with such a big thing?" Didn't they know that the efficiency of multipole duplex steam turbines was much higher than that of the old ones? If it is said how much work and time it takes to replace the main engine of the ship in the future, they know better than anyone else that this is a knowingly offense! ”

Li Haibo naturally felt much more refreshed at the moment, but enlightened Lin Haijiang and said: "Führer, actually, you shouldn't be so angry today, scaring Xia Bin and Huang Huailiang half to death, they don't look back and secretly mumble to you?" ”

Lin Haijiang smiled slightly: "What can you mumble about me?" At most, it is said that it is a companion like a tiger, am I still afraid of people saying it? I now say that they are for their good, and when I regret it, I will kill their heads! ”

Li Haibo also smiled indifferently and said: "During the time you left, although the empire seems to be calm on the surface, some people are a bit like there are no tigers and monkeys in the mountains to dominate the overlord, in the end, they are younger, the city government is not deep enough, and they are not sophisticated enough!" ”

Lin Haijiang naturally knew who Li Haibo was talking about, but if this could be said from the mouth of the Minister of the Admiralty, it meant that some little-known time must have happened in it, but Lin Haijiang was not in a hurry, because when the intelligence headquarters submitted the report on the behavior and activities of the senior generals and officials during the period when he was away, everything would be clear, so Lin Haijiang smiled faintly and said: "Many things need time to test, I remember a famous saying that time is the only truth to test everything!" ”

Li Haibo is also a person who knows how to measure proportions, so he opened the briefcase and said: "Führer, the design drawings of the Empire-class battleship you handed over to me before leaving have been tried by the Ship Design Center of the General Administration of Scientific Research of the Imperial Administration for Six Attempts, and the scale-down model has been made, and the Empire-class battleship is expected to be equipped with multi-pole duplex steam turbine units, including twenty sets of double-hearth boilers, and the maximum combat speed will reach twenty-four knots!" ”

Lin Haijiang carefully studied the drawings for a while, because the original drawings were drawn by his own hands, so he could naturally see the changes clearly, which made Lin Haijiang a little depressed is that although the overall design of the empire class borrowed many designs from the historical monarch-class battleships, but the tonnage was too small, and the advantages of many classic designs could not be reflected.

Lin Haijiang also knew that he was too anxious, and the Zhenyuan level had just started construction, and he began to conduct research on the feasible surnames of the empire level? It seems to be a little too advanced, for the Royal Liverpool Shipyard in the United Kingdom or the Hamburg Shipyard in Germany at this moment, it is still quite a difficult challenge to build a 20,000-ton battleship, and the Chinese Empire has started to design and build a 20,000-ton battleship on its own, which is indeed a bit sensational.

Germany's naval expansion plan made Lin Haijiang know that the Chinese Empire would not be able to order battleships of the same class as the Zhenyuan class from Germany for a long time in the future, which can also be said to be a strategic attitude change on the German side, because the Chinese Empire relied on the navy to achieve an almost unimaginable victory, which was far more brilliant than Germany's victory over France, so Germany was also determined to vigorously develop its navy. At the same time, it is also a counterbalance, or a more appropriate counterbalance, to the Chinese Empire, which has grown by purchasing warships.

Lin Haijiang knew that he was about to usher in the most exciting era in the history of the world's navy, with large ships and huge cannons running rampant between the four oceans.

So he has an almost obsession with the battleship Lin Haijiang, which can make him forget what a woman is? If men have a preference, then Lin Haijiang's preference is a battleship! A battleship with a huge cannon to be exact! For battleships, a high-tonnage naval combat ship with the attack power of large-caliber guns and the protection of heavy armor as the main demand, the power it uses is exactly what Lin Haijiang has always dreamed of!

Lin Haijiang remembered that this kind of warship was one of the main ships of all major sea power countries from the 1860s until it gradually declined at the end of World War II.

Li Haibo saw that Lin Haijiang was silent in thought, so he spoke: "Führer, the overall design of the Imperial class is actually a continuation of most of the design subjects of the Zhenyuan-class battleships designed and provided by our side to the German side, and it can be said that the design of the Zhenyuan-class battleships has become a model for the design of battleships in various countries!" The four twin main guns adopted by our side are installed on the longitudinal axis of the hull in the way that one turret is configured in the front and one rear, and at the same time, the number of auxiliary gun groups and the distribution of firing angles are strengthened, and the design scheme that can concentrate all firepower on the side side has been used as a reference for the design of multinational warships. ”

Li Haibo paused for a moment and continued: "Now the six Zhenyuan-class battleships are generally made of steel hulls, with a full load displacement of 12,000 tons, a main gun caliber of 300 to 380 mm in spiral rifling, a thickness of 330 to 520 mm in the protective armor of the hull, a speed of 18 to 20 knots, heavy guns of a unified caliber, and high-power steam turbines in terms of firepower!" According to the information provided by the Intelligence Headquarters, these four standards have now become the four major elements of the construction of battleships recognized by countries around the world. The navies of Britain, Germany, Italy, Russia, Austria-Hungary, the Ottoman Empire and other countries are all building or preparing to negotiate the import of a large number of battleships, which seem to have become a symbol of the strength of the world's naval powers! ”

Lin Haijiang also nodded helplessly and said: "The theft of the blueprints of the German Hamburg Shipyard this time has a great impact, otherwise the imperial level would not be so eager to mention the journey!" Now the whole world is engaged in a naval arms race, and although the empire's economy cannot support the expansion of the navy indefinitely, new ships and new equipment necessary for self-protection must still be equipped! ”

Lin Haijiang's words made Li Haibo finally take a reassurance, the main purpose of his trip to complain is this, whether the head of state can maintain investment in the navy, after all, there are many fierce battles on land, and the unification of the country is faced, and there is no immediate worry at sea!

Although Li Haibo knows little about the hull specialty, he has a very unique strategic vision, and he can be described as a strong support for the development and construction of the navy, coupled with his special relationship with Lin Haijiang, technically and tactically, Li Haibo admits that he can't do it, but he is extremely fierce with the army to grab military funds, and he is even named a vicious dog by the army! So Li Haibo naturally sat firmly in the position of Minister of the Navy!

In Li Haibo's view, the characteristics of battleships are that they have a large displacement, a comprehensive configuration of weapons and equipment, and a strong weapon attack power, and they are in the position of the leading big brother among naval ships. Compared with modern weapons, and the current naval weapons and equipment are large in size, heavy in weight, and small in the output firepower of a single weapon, in order to ensure that the battleship has sufficient firepower attack power and endurance, special requirements are put forward for the tonnage of the battleship, so there must be enough tonnage to carry heavy weapons and fuel, so the Imperial class battleship is twice as large as the Zhenyuan-class battleship, and of course its cost can be described as extremely expensive.

However, in Li Haibo's view, in order to defend its own maritime security, a country must have enough weapons and strong enough firepower, and ships with ultra-long endurance are important ships of the navy, so it is natural that the imperial navy needs a sufficient number of battleships to defend the empire's thousands of miles of sea frontiers!
