After visiting this new warship launched, even if the sea trials have not been completed, for the naval experts of various countries and even the media reporters with strong professional knowledge, they have already understood what China's main warship is for. After the feedback was given to the politicians of various countries, the reason why the entire West suddenly made a high-profile propaganda about these two warships in China was also guessed by people -- political blackmail!

China claims to be a battlecruiser of this type, but in fact it is the capital ship that comes to undertake the task of breaking diplomatic relations, and its armament is completely at the level of battleships, and the speed is between battleships and armored cruisers.

When war really broke out, such warships were active in the Atlantic, in the Indian Ocean, on both sides of Africa, and in the South Pacific, and the damage to the British Empire would be unpredictable.

Contrary to the results of people's speculation, Liu Xian's two battlecruisers reached an agreement with Britain -- China would not accept orders for this type of battleships from Germany within three years, but Britain would ensure that China's interests in the Middle East would not be harmed, and the two sides would openly submit submissions on the Middle East.

Liu Xian did not reveal his interest in Australia at all!

His request was fully accepted by Whitehall - it was a classic blackmail, and it was good that it had come to fruition!

Battlecruisers are not a secret, the British themselves are pounding. It's just that they are lagging behind China. And compared to the great importance of the British Empire, the battle cruiser was in the eyes of Liu Xian, the ruler of the New Qin Empire. It was purely a weapon used by the navy to set up silver. If you can't sell to Germany, you can sell it to Austria-Hungary, and you can sell it to South America.

Brazil, Argentina and Chile are all export-oriented economies. If a sea cargo ship is attacked one after another, it will be fatal for the damage of the three countries. In this way, it seems that the battle cruiser is more suitable for the three small powers than the dreadnought!

Even this thing can be sold to Britain itself. Of course, such a weapon in the hands of Germany is far greater than that of other countries to deter Britain's global cyber, and it also makes the British more nervous.

The British also have to beware of 'intermediaries'. The left hand entered the war patrol, and the right hand traded to Germany, for such a master who only recognized money, the British were as blind as the British.

It didn't take long. The "Sino-British New Covenant on the Middle East" was reached. As soon as the news broke, the whole world was in an uproar, and national sentiment in Germany and the Ottomans was further raised. However, the mood in the Ottoman country was strongly suppressed by the Sultan government, after all, the overall strength of the Ottomans was far inferior to those old powers. Germany, on the other hand, is vigorous. In recent years, with the revival of the government in St. Petersburg, the interests of the Germans in Poland and Eastern Europe have been affected to a certain extent, and Poland is a sovereign country, and no matter how much it follows Germany, it will not be as good as the interests of the colonies that are completely harvested. Nigeria's wealth was remarkable, and Germany was hungry again for the Polish market!

And the German ruling class is not just about industry and commerce. There are also Junker nobles, although the two sides have begun to unite, but the prayer for land is the hottest pursuit of all Junker nobles!

As for the reaction of Germany and the Ottomans, Britain, France, Italy, etc. At this moment, Central North America began to build its modern industrial system at a more steady pace. It's been ten years. Central North America is much better than it was after the war. The Chinese population here is more than 40 million, and there is an industry with production and technology that is not the best in the world, but the system is very complete. The successive feudalism of Lu and other countries did not make any waves in this land, and everything was developing in a good way!

As for the United States, which has retreated to the northeast corner. Ten years of development have certainly been even more severe, as the previous wars had cost them a lot of land. However, the U.S. government has always had the world's first-class scientists, science and technology, and the Northeast region has also maintained a strong industrial production capacity and has always maintained a large number of troops.

Perhaps the United States at this moment is not qualified to compete with the three major powers of Britain, France and Germany, but its strength is completely comparable to Italy, Austria-Hungary, or even better. Because the British discovered abundant oil reserves in Canada, North America lost its oil production and maintained sharply hostile relations with Mexico, but there was no need to worry about oil. The Americans have no less development than the European in the construction of warships and tanks. Its latest Ford 1905 tank, like the German tank, can easily move in the mud at speeds of more than 10 kilometers per hour!

The recovery and development of the United States is much stronger than that of two Russias!

As early as when the Taishan arrived on the east coast of North America, China sent a note to the United States proposing a "North American Naval Limitation Treaty," which was ruthlessly rejected by the United States. In the eyes of the White House, America's most trusted weapon is the warship on the sea. The Chinese's warships are always guarding against the Indian Ocean and the South Pacific, and they can only use one or two points of strength on the east coast of North America.

Moreover, with the development of anti-submarine technology, with the development of anti-torpedo technology, with the emergence of anti-torpedo nets, anti-torpedo compartments, anti-torpedo protrusions, and anti-torpedo armor, the deterrent power of submarines is still huge, but it is not so invincible. China's killer feature has been abolished by half again!

In recent years, China has increasingly lost its aura of 'invincibility', and there is more and more room for international diplomacy activities, but it has also made the United States and other Western hostile countries more and more 'extravagant hopes' rise in their hearts. The clean rejection of the North American Treaty on the Limitation of Naval Capabilities by the Americans is the result of the further development of this 'extravagance'!

Liu Xian only said one sentence at the time: "Americans will regret it!" "After the appearance of the dreadnoughts, the Americans really regretted it. This epoch-making warship made the Americans tremble, and they began to regret rejecting China's proposal. However, this kind of thing has always been done in this village, and even if China has its own national dignity and dignity, it is impossible for China to submit another opinion with the same content to the United States.

Construction of the USS Great Washington, the first class of dreadnoughts, began in October last year, but it will take at least two years for it to enter service with the US Navy, which is enough time for China's new generation of battleships to be completed and put into service with the Navy, and to cross the ocean to the east coast of North America. From this point of view, the United States is not afraid of China at all, especially the current President of the United States, Theodore. Roosevelt was known as the head of government who knew the navy the most among the heads of state of the world. Teddy Bear had to save up enough strength to get a second fund from the US Congress, and the keel of the USS Great Washington had just been laid for two months, and the second American dreadnought of the same class, the Great Lakes battleship, was under construction at the same time at the New York shipyard.

But at the same time, he is also watching the reaction of the Chinese side very carefully.

The United States has added two dreadnoughts to the east coast of North America, which poses a great threat to China's domination in North America. Teddy Bear is very glad that China does not seem to have much interest in the naval arms race, and is still building its own navy at a calm pace. Even so, Roosevelt felt the edge on his back.

Roosevelt, and indeed the United States as a whole, did not dare to continue to increase investment in the navy. They are deeply concerned about China's targeted response.

In the eyes of the United States as a whole, the best outcome is to continue to 'fade' like this, and it will not be over. It is better that the whole world should be the United States without these two powerful dreadnoughts!

Throughout the first half of 1906, America was on the lookout. Until the birth of the Battle Patrol!

Theodore. Roosevelt fell in love with the War Patrol at first sight. Just as Germany desperately needed war cruises to threaten the global interests of the British Empire, the United States desperately needed war cruisers to threaten the vast North Pacific.

If a future war breaks out, the North Pacific and Australia will definitely be one of the focal points of the whole war.

Roosevelt lobbied the U.S. Congress, which then appropriated an additional amount for a battleship, and the money would go to the British. The United States needs to get a battle cruiser that is not in the sight of the Chinese!

The White House would rather spend this money by 'buying' than spurring China!

But how can all this be hidden from the eyes of the Military Intelligence Agency and the European Office for a long time?

It's a big deal to start a battle cruiser, right? More than 10,000 tons of steel are involved, and thousands of jobs are involved.

It may also be that the Americans themselves did not want to hide it for long, they just did not want to use another battle cruiser to stimulate China this year, when the construction of two dreadnoughts has already begun.

No country knows that China's 'high-quality' development line will definitely go on unswervingly. No amount of opposition in the Chinese Navy will be of any avail. Liu Xian made a decision, and the king of heaven and Lao Tzu could not change it.

And when the time came to 1907, the heads of state of Europe and the United States all knew one thing: the Chinese Navy had a great disagreement on its current development line. The naval officers unanimously demanded that the 'high-quality' line be abandoned and the number of dreadnoughts and battle cruisers in the fleet should be expanded, but the Chinese god of war emperor forcefully suppressed them.

The Chinese emperor insisted that the navy should be 'high-quality', and the purpose was not to provoke Europe too much, so as not to provoke contradictions between China and Britain and the entire Western world. The Chinese emperor did not want the inevitable outbreak of war between the two sides in a few years!

But the world is seriously skeptical of the intentions of this claim. Europeans don't believe in this very 'peaceful' statement, they prefer to believe that Liu Xian is harboring evil intentions. I believe that Liu Xian has recognized the contradictions between Britain and Germany, and the disputes between Britain and France and Germany and Austria, and now he wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight!
