"Super battleship?" As soon as they heard this name, Crown Prince Wilhelm and Prince Heinrich couldn't help but be stunned. The fact that the Chinese dared to take this title for the 'Han-class' battleship shows that the 'Han-class' battleship must be of the same epoch-making significance as the previous 'Zhonghua-class' battleships. This made them even more curious!

Crown Prince Wilhelm and Prince Heinrich both walked briskly to the desk of Zhang Cheng, the Minister of the Chinese Navy, to look at the drawings of the 'Han-class' battleship above. The design drawings are two meters long and have brief lines on them, outlining a large and majestic battleship. However, the detailed parameters are not indicated on the design drawings, and the Chinese Navy still has reservations in this regard.

"Oh God! It's actually a triple turret, or three! Prince Heinrich exclaimed. The German Navy is also secretly developing a triple naval gun, but it cannot solve the problem of accuracy when firing. Now it seems that the Chinese side has solved this problem. Otherwise, it would not have been applied to the 'Han-class' battleships, which made Prince Heinrich look at China again!

"Humph! Isn't it just a three-seat triple main gun? The 'Caesar-class' battleship has 5 twin-mounted main guns, and the 'Caesar-class' battleship has more firepower! "Crown Prince William, although shocked, in his heart, will not admit defeat at all.

"That's right, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness the Prince." The Han-class battleship adopts the triple main gun that we have newly researched, and it has a knapsack design with two fronts and one back. Equipped with a total of 9 main guns, the firepower is more powerful than that of the 'Qin-class' battleships, and the accuracy of shelling has also been greatly improved! "China's Minister of the Navy, Zhang Chengjie, said. The Qin-class battleships adopted a four-seat twin-mounted main gun layout, two in the front and two in the rear. It's just that such a layout. As a result, the speed of the battleship and its stability during navigation were greatly affected, and it was impossible to shoot accurately at high speeds. At least, after the Chinese Navy has studied and proven, the layout of the main guns in the first two and one in the back is the most appropriate at present. And, with the assistance of semi-automatic loaders, the rate of shelling has reached one round per minute. Such a firepower output is already more than 1.8 times that of the 'Qin-class' battleships, even in the face of the British Navy's battleships equipped with 5 twin-mounted main guns, in terms of firepower output. First, with a decisive advantage, combined with accurate shelling hits, the 'Han-class' battleships could easily deal with more than three 'Dreadnought-class' battleships of the British Navy.

Looking at the stunned looks of Crown Prince Wilhelm and Prince Heinrich, Zhang Cheng, the Minister of the Chinese Navy, was very satisfied. Undoubtedly, the strength of the Navy. Being able to build such a powerful battleship makes him very face-saving, this is a real powerhouse!

"Your Excellency, what is the caliber of the main guns carried by the 'Han-class' battleship?" Prince Heinrich asked suddenly. He remembered that he had seen information that two years earlier, the Chinese Navy had been looking to the Germans for the construction of larger-caliber naval guns. It's just that the German Navy only has 305 mm naval guns that are relatively mature, and 343 mm naval guns are also being explored. Therefore, it is not possible to give China more help. However, Germany is very confident in its own naval artillery technology, even their 280 mm naval guns, in terms of power, are enough to compete with the British 305 mm naval guns.

"Your Royal Highness, the main gun carried by the 'Han-class' battleship is a 343 mm 50 times caliber main gun, which can penetrate the new armor up to 305 mm thick at a distance of more than 12,000 kilometers." Zhang Cheng, Minister of the Chinese Navy, said with a smile.

"343 mm 50 times caliber? Able to penetrate 305 mm of new armor at 12,000 kilometers? "At this moment, even Crown Prince William can't be calm. The Caesar-class battleships had only 350 mm of armor at the end. If the distance of the battle is shortened to 10,000 meters, it is likely that it will not be able to withstand the Chinese' 'Han-class' battleships. In addition, in previous naval battles, the Chinese Navy has been good at using the terrifying hit rate to attack the enemy's warships from a long distance. In such a situation, the 'Caesar-class' battleships will not have the power to fight back in front of the Chinese' 'Han-class' battleships!

"Your Excellency, I have to admit that the Chinese Navy has once again designed an outstanding battleship, which is even more powerful than the battleships that are now being designed and built by various countries. However, can you tell us how much displacement the 'Han-class' battleships have, how thick their armor is, and what their maximum speed can reach? Prince Heinrich didn't care so much and sent out his own inquiry. He had already recognized the power of the 'Han-class' battleship, but a battleship, in addition to firepower, armor and speed are also very important, which are the most important factors that make up a battleship's combat power.

"The displacement of the 'Han-class' battleships is around 28,000 tons. The thickness of the armor of the turret and bridge was 350 mm, and the thickness of the armor on the side was 305 mm. The maximum speed is expected to be above 24 knots! Zhang Cheng, Minister of the Chinese Navy, explained. In this regard, he still had reservations and did not fully tell the German side the truth.

Prince Heinrich nodded, and through these vague numbers, he was already able to roughly derive the combat power of the 'Han-class' battleship. In terms of displacement, the 'Han-class' battleships were comparable to the 'Caesar-class' battleships, and the thickness of their armor was about the same. It's just that the firepower of the 'Han-class' battleships is more powerful, and the ship's guns are more powerful, which can more easily tear through the armor of the 'Caesar-class' battleships. Meantime. The 'Han-class' battleships were faster than the 'Caesar-class'. Although Zhang Cheng said that the speed was only 24 knots, Prince Heinrich did not believe it, and he knew that the Chinese side must have reservations. For example, the Chinese' 'Zhonghua-class' battleships announced that they only had a maximum speed of 21 knots, but in battle, they ran at a high speed of more than 22 knots. Therefore, he was skeptical. The maximum speed of the 'Han-class' battleships is probably above 25 knots. In such a comparison, the 'Caesar-class' battleships are not at all the opponents of the 'Han-class' battleships of the Chinese Navy. This made him a little frustrated.

"Your Excellency, Lord Admiral, thank you for showing us such a formidable battleship. Triple 343 mm naval guns, indeed, an innovation. The 'Han-class' battleship is indeed worthy of the title of 'super battleship'! Prince Heinrich said.

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness, for your compliment, the 'Han-class' battleships and the follow-up 'Hanxin-class' battlecruisers are the main warships of our Chinese Navy in the future!" Minister of the Navy Zhang Cheng said.

"The 'Hanshin-class' battlecruiser, China's second battlecruiser?" Prince Heinrich hurriedly asked.

"Ugh! That is true. Based on the 'Han-class' battleships, we designed the 'Hanshin-class' battlecruisers and the 'Hanshin-class' battlecruisers. It has a powerful firepower comparable to that of a 'Han-class' battleship, but its speed is much higher! Zhang Cheng said, as if he had slipped his mouth, and he didn't want to put too much head on the 'Hanxin-class' battlecruiser anymore.

This made Prince Heinrich a little regretful. However, the 'Hanshin-class' battlecruisers were remembered.

In Prince Heinrich's view, since the Chinese want to spend huge sums of money to build the 'Hanshin-class' battlecruisers, they must have recognized the powerful role of the 'Hanshin-class' battlecruisers. Seemingly. Germany could not lag behind either, when building new types of battleships. It is also necessary to speed up the design and construction of new battle cruisers, and not to be left behind by China more.

Coming out of the Chinese Admiralty, Crown Prince Wilhelm and Prince Heinrich can be regarded as having a good time, although the Chinese side has reservations, they also get the information they want to know.

"Uncle, the Chinese' 'Han-class' battleships seem to be more powerful than our 'Caesar-class'!" Crown Prince William couldn't help but sigh and said.

"Hmmm! If it were one-on-one, the 'Caesar-class' battleships would not be the opponent of the Chinese' 'Han-class' battleships! Prince Heinrich said.

"No, uncle, we must build a more powerful battleship to our father. Germany must not lag behind China in the navy! Crown Prince William said.

Prince Heinrich didn't say much, the battleship was originally burning money, although Germany's economic development is very fast, but in terms of heritage, compared with Britain, there is still too big a gap, and even China's current funds are far stronger than Germany's. And a battleship is enough for tens of millions of marks, or even more funds, and Germany simply cannot afford the huge cost of building ships. It's just that Germany is already riding a tiger. If more and more powerful battleships and battle cruisers are not built, then it will be difficult for Germany to win in future wars, and even if it wins, it will not be able to keep the benefits it should have.

Time passed slowly, a week later, on May 10, the wedding of Wang Yuze and the seventh princess of the Bavarian Kingdom, Hailmchud, was held in Xinhua Palace, and the guests who participated in the wedding, in addition to the relatives of both sides, the important ministers of the empire, as well as representatives from all walks of life, as well as foreign envoys in China, were also present, a total of more than 500 people gathered in Xinhua Palace.

According to Helmchud's wishes, a Western-style wedding was adopted, Wang Yuze was still wearing a military uniform without rank, while the bride Helmchud was wearing a white wedding dress, which brought out her beautiful face and slightly green figure. The two are like a couple.

The atmosphere of the wedding was very lively, everyone congratulated Wang Yuze and Helmchud, the newlyweds, and China and Germany, because of this marriage, the relationship has become closer!
