Of course, the ranking of the navies of various countries may not be able to show their true strength, just like Lin Daxin's Northeast Navy, which secretly hid the situation that the 6 Dragon-class dreadnought battleships have begun sea trials, and Lin Daxin is ready to wait for the 6 Dragon-class dreadnought battleships to complete the sea trials, and continue to hide them, so that all countries can continue to devote their energy to the construction of all-steel battleships.

In addition, Lin Daxin stole 7 super dreadnought battleships from the future time and space, and the British Navy fights, basically win and not lose, and the shipyard under Lin Daxin's command has 10 dragon-class dreadnought battleships under construction, when the navies of the world have not yet thought of building this kind of dreadnought, Lin Daxin has formed a huge dreadnought battleship formation.

The 406 mm main gun barrels of the other 7 super dreadnought battleships have been imitated by Lin Daxin's arsenal, so that the 7 super dreadnought battleships finally do not have to worry about the problem of no barrel replacement, which allows the naval officers and sailors on the 7 super dreadnought battleships to finally conduct live-fire training.

However, for the first time, the Edwardian VII-class all-steel battleships built by the British with a full load displacement of 16,610 tons have shown a design that is different from the standard pre-dreadnought. In the design of the Edward VII-class all-steel battleship, the focus was on how to overwhelm the opponent when the main gun firepower was equal to the opponent, and at the same time, considering the low rate of fire of the main gun and the insufficient fire power of the secondary gun when the battleship was against the cruiser and armored cruiser, so it was decided to use the second main gun. It was more than 2000 tons heavier than the Duncan-class all-steel battleships in front. Let the Edward VII-class battleships be equipped with 4 main guns and 4 main guns at the same time, plus secondary guns, enough to overwhelm any opponent. The appearance of the second main gun can also be regarded as marking the beginning of a glorious period in the development of the former dreadnought.

Such a design has opened the minds of the British dreadnoughts, and on the designed Nelson-class all-steel battleships, the British even increased the number of 233-mm secondary guns to 10.

British Admiralty Campbell had resigned as Admiralty Secretary at the end of 1901 for health reasons, and Fisher, who succeeded him, was recognized as an expert in gunnery and a staunch supporter of the Royal Navy's attack supremacy. In the face of an increasingly fierce naval arms race, the British Navy, which felt that it was already somewhat overwhelmed. A committee was formed, led by Fisher, whose members were carefully selected by him, with the aim of coming up with a design for a new battleship. And a preliminary scheme was produced, the most striking feature of which was a unified large-caliber main gun and a speed of 21 knots.

And this design scheme has already kicked off the prelude to the British dreadnought. However, at present, the British are still in the process of designing their dreadnoughts, and it will take some time to build dreadnoughts.

The shipyard under Lin Daxin is not only building the second batch of 10 Dragon-class dreadnought battleships, but also according to Lin Daxin's requirements, began to design more powerful dreadnought battleships according to the dreadnought drawings of future time and space, which makes Lin Daxin's lead over the British is not a matter of one step or two, and it is definitely higher than the British Navy, which is known as the world's naval hegemon, in terms of real strength.

Moreover, the submarine fleet of the Northeast Navy is no longer just 2 submarines. At present, the Northeast Navy is equipped with a total of 14 submarines, including the Sharp Knife and the Bayonet, which are produced by the Huludao Shipyard with a displacement of 1,300 tons on the water and 1,580 tons on the submarine. The diving depth is 130 meters, the length of the ship is 60 meters, the width of the ship is 7 meters, diesel-electric power, two-axis propulsion, and the speed on the water is 18 knots. The underwater speed is 12 knots, and the underwater speed is 5 knots, which can be used for 100 hours of diving. The bow is equipped with four 533-mm torpedo tubes with 16 ammunition, and the stern is equipped with two 533-mm torpedo tubes with eight ammunition and radar.

This kind of submarine is even in the history of World War II, it is a relatively powerful submarine, in addition to the dreadnought battleship, another killer weapon of the Northeast Navy, which is much more advanced than the submarines equipped by Britain, Germany and France.

However, now the eyes of the world are focused on the Entente and the Allied Powers, which has made Lin Daxin's attention much less recently, and the dragon-class dreadnought battleships built by Lin Daxin and the 7 super dreadnought battleships stolen have been kept secret, and everyone can only see the apparent strength of the Northeast Navy.

But on this apparent strength, it already has the second displacement of the world's navy, if Lin Daxin takes out the hidden dragon-class dreadnought battleships and 7 super dreadnought battleships, others don't know what will happen, anyway, the British will definitely be stunned.

In fact, the Entente and the Central Powers were established under the effect and influence of the law of uneven development of capitalist economy and politics, and the great powers of Europe waged a fierce struggle around the struggle for world hegemony and colonies. For the sake of Germany's own capitalist development, he also needed a large number of colonies to give Germany a blood transfusion.

The contradictions between the European powers are numerous and complicated, including Franco-German contradictions, Russian-Austrian contradictions, and Anglo-German contradictions, and the Franco-German contradictions are very acute; France, which was defeated in the Franco-Prussian War, has lost its original hegemonic position in Western and Central Europe, and all strata in the country have unanimously demanded revenge, and Germany has greatly expanded its armaments in order to prevent France from rising again. The expression of the Russian-Austrian contradiction is the struggle for the Balkan Peninsula. For many years, under the banner of Great Slavism, Russia expanded to the areas inhabited by the southern Slavs on the Balkan Peninsula, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, a monarchy in Central Europe, was also expanding to the northwestern part of the Balkan Peninsula, fearing that the southern Slavs under its rule would become independent from the rule of Austria-Hungary. As the conflict over the colonies intensified, the Anglo-German contradictions began to intensify, and these contradictions added up to the outbreak of the First World War in history.

is the historical spoiler of Lin Daxin, the two sides still form the confrontation between the Entente and the Allied Powers as in history, but the strength of the two sides is much stronger than in history, which may have something to do with Lin Daxin's almost beating these Entente and Allied Powers.

Lin Daxin was very happy to see that the Entente and the Allied countries were in the same situation, and hoped that the two sides could fight a world war like in history, so that he would definitely be able to pick up a lot of cheapness.

At present, the British standing army of the Entente countries has reached 820,000, the French standing army has reached 1.1 million, and the Russian standing army, known as the European steamroller, has reached a staggering 3.2 million.

The Russians can have such a large standing army mainly to stimulate Lin Daxin, who was already defeated in the war with Lin Daxin, and the Russian Tsar Nicholas II has been planning how to get back the field, but he didn't expect that Lin Daxin suddenly announced the expansion of the Dingbei Army to 2.4 million, this reorganization plan of the Dingbei Army, Lin Daxin did not deliberately hide it, so Tsar Nicholas II did not announce the reorganization of Lin Daxin for a long time, and he got the news.

Just occupied such a large piece of land in our Russia, the army strength has been expanded again, what do you Lin Daxin want to do, is it tolerable or unbearable, so Tsar Nicholas II waved his hand and got the Russian standing army to 3.2 million at once.

Among the Allied powers, Germany, which has the most powerful army, currently has a standing army of 1.54 million, Austria-Hungary has a standing army of 600,000, and Italy has a standing army of 380,000.

Needless to say, the British Navy among the Entente countries has 4 Sovereign-class all-steel battleships, 7 Old Man-class all-steel battleships, 1 Prestige-class all-steel battleship, 1 Pavler-class all-steel battleship, 19 Majesty-class all-steel battleships, 8 Dreadnought-class all-steel battleships, 10 London-class all-steel battleships, 12 Duncan-class all-steel battleships, and 2 Edward VII-class all-steel battleships. A total of 60 all-steel battleships, plus large fast armored cruisers, protective cruisers, submarines, destroyers, torpedo boats, gunboats, minesweepers, etc., the total tonnage of warships in operation reached 2.3 million tons.

You must know that the total tonnage of the combat warships on the surface of the Northeast Navy is only 1.5 million tons, even if you add the 6 Dragon-class dreadnought battleships that are about to be commissioned and the 7 super dreadnought battleships stolen in the future time and space, they are not comparable to the total tonnage of the British Navy's combat warships.

The French Navy has 12 Cecilia-class all-steel battleships, 12 Republic-class all-steel battleships, 8 Liberty-class all-steel battleships, plus the French Navy's large fast armored cruisers, protective cruisers, submarines, destroyers, torpedo boats and other combat warships, the total tonnage of warships operated by the French Navy has reached 820,000 tons.

The Russian Navy has now recovered from the blows of the Northeast Navy under the command of Lin Daxin, with 15 Peresvet-class all-steel battleships with a standard displacement of 12,600 tons, and 6 Borodino-class all-steel battleships with a standard displacement of 13,500 tons, plus other warships, the total tonnage of warships operated by the Russian Navy has reached 390,000 tons, ranking eighth among the world's navies.

In the navy, the Allies fell behind, Germany has 38 all-steel battleships, plus other warships, the total tonnage of warships in the German Navy has reached 1.38 million tons, and the Italian Navy only has 20 all-steel battleships, plus other warships, the total tonnage of warships in the Italian Navy has reached 450,000 tons.

The Austro-Hungarian navy of the Central Powers is negligible, with only three all-steel battleships with a displacement of less than 10,000 tons, plus other warships, the total tonnage of warships fought by Austria-Hungary is only 70,000 tons, which is pitiful.

In short, the strength of the Entente is much stronger than that of the Allied Powers, but there are other forces in this world, such as Lin Daxin, which makes the Entente and the Allied Powers want to break out into war, and they have to consider other factors. (To be continued) R580
