Large heavy cruisers?

In fact, it is better to say that it is a battle cruiser with thickened armor.

Two years later, the whole world will reflect on whether the existence of battle cruisers is necessary, but in Yang Qiu's eyes, battle cruisers are very suitable for him. The tragic North Sea and Atlantic environment of the war patrol will be weakened a lot, and the mistakes of the commanders will make the war patrol a flash in the pan. However, in the vast Pacific Ocean, due to factors such as the distance between the naval bases of various countries and the slow dispatch of battleships, the role of fast battle cruisers is greater. In a simple sentence, it is "those who can catch up can't be beaten, and those who can be beaten can't catch up." ”

Of course, a model similar to the King Kong class, which was more than 20,000 tons but only had 203 mm vertical armor, was something that Yang Qiu would never want, so he remembered the Alaska-class large Chapter 349 armistice cruiser in the parallel world. It's just that now it is impossible to create the Alaska class, not to mention electronics and power, just the MK8 triple 305mm naval gun that countless BB fans will never forget is not something that can be achieved by current technology, and the ship type is even more impossible, and the only thing that can be imitated is the armor distribution and layout.

In addition, in order to ensure the need for future modifications, Yang Qiu also put forward higher requirements for the redundancy.

Of course, Hanger could not answer at once, even if he was a layman, he could roughly calculate that according to these requirements, the standard displacement of the battleship was likely to exceed 23,000 tons. To make matters worse, it is necessary to ensure a speed of 27 knots, you must know that the biggest problem of American warships is power, because the technical reserves of boilers and steam turbines are insufficient, so even they can't make fast battlecruisers comparable to the King Kong-class cruisers, so whether they can obtain relevant technology from Britain and France will determine whether this big deal can be done. Although his excellent work in the past two years has brought valuable benefits to the United States, and has also opened up a huge market of more than 400 million people, this did not make him arrogant, but as Yang Qiu and China gradually changed, he became a little cautious, so he only promised to send the information back to China first, and as for whether it can meet the standards and build, it must wait for a clear reply from China.

In addition to the armistice in Chapter 349 and waiting for a reply from the United States, Yang Qiu also purchased an additional 12 Sailing Wolf 1 submarines from the Jiangnan Plant to ensure that it would have a scale of 18 by the end of 16.

When Yang Qiu was in full swing to strengthen the navy and prepare for it five years later, the official residence of the Japanese prime minister was also full of people. Including Inuyang Yi and Takahashi Kiyoshi and others were all here, although they all advocated peace talks to end the war, but in the face of the harsh Minhachijo, they couldn't help but feel angry from the bottom of their hearts. Fortunately, the politicians of the Taisho period were still relatively savvy, and even the military department was not all paranoid and crazy, and finally made a decision after losing Jinju and Sinuiju in succession and receiving no international support.

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister."

Takahashi Kiyoshi bowed to Shigenobu Okuma, glanced at the calendar that had flipped to November 20, and looked at the cabinet members in a low voice: "Our allies say that being able to obtain a condominium in Taiwan is already the result of their efforts, and if they can't take the final negotiation today, they will completely withdraw from mediation and terminate all the commitments they have made before!" ”

"I think it's over! There is still hope for being able to obtain the condominium of Taiwan, and if Britain's withdrawal of mediation is not a debt relief and the confiscation of Germany on the Asian islands is not distributed, then China's losses will be even greater! ”

"It's already winter, the army in Lushun is short of clothes and food, and even the 20th Division cannot be replenished after the Pyongyang-Sinuiju railway is blown up, and if it can't be ended as soon as possible, the severe cold will make the losses even greater!"

In the middle of your sentence and my sentence, Shigenobu Okuma in front of the desk took out his pocket watch, looked at the time, and then picked up the revised Minhachijo contract and read it a few times, and the cabinet members around him were also staring at it, only to see that he picked up the pen and was just about to fall but was frozen in the air, raising his head and looking tired: "I heard that the people of China have begun to replenish the navy?" ”

"Yes."

Since the beginning of the peace talks, Takahashi has realized that this is the only option, so he has become much more active in the political arena. Now I don't want to hide it, and said: "The government of China has sent an inquiry to the United States, and from the current situation, it should be two battle cruisers with 305 mm guns, but whether the order can really be completed still needs to be resolved through consultation between Britain and the United States." So I think we can block the deal through our allies, and of course even if they get it, it can't be compared to the King Kong class, and our navy still has a big advantage. ”

"But they have submarines!"

"The French government has promised to deliver a state-of-the-art submarine to our navy as soon as the contract is signed, and to help build five of the same type of products." Takahashi saw that Shigenobu Okuma was still struggling with his political future, and continued, "Your Excellency the Prime Minister. With all due respect, the Empire of Japan can no longer afford to endure war, and it is time to end the period of quiet development for the country, and only by overcoming the present difficulties can the Empire continue to embark on the road of prosperity and prosperity. ”

Bustling? Wealthy?!

After Yama County Youpeng acquiesced, Lu Xianggang Ichinosuke also realized that it had to end, but he was still very dissatisfied in his heart, and snorted coldly: "Takahashi-kun is too optimistic, right?" It is no longer possible for the empire and China to coexist, and now they are taking advantage of the opportunity of the European war to continue to make money to develop their own industries, and if they sign an agreement, they will be able to obtain an unhindered period of development, and the dream of the empire to dominate Asia and achieve common prosperity will be gone! Again, I say that we at the War Department do not approve of this agreement. ”

is obviously so arrogant when he can't fight, it's obviously ulterior motives! Not to mention that Takahashi is Qing couldn't even stand Inuyang Yi, and snorted coldly: "Then don't sign it, your army will continue to fight!" Don't ask for Imperial support, either. ”

Inuyo Yi is in a high position, and a cold snort made Okaichi Nosuke lose his temper suddenly, no matter how crazy the army is, it will not be able to win without national mobilization in this situation.

"I hope our descendants can understand that this contract is for the greater future of the empire." After the last sound died down, Shigenobu Okuma picked up the pen again. At that moment, he only felt that the tip of the pen was heavy, his wrists were stiff, and his breathing was about to stop. When the name and the word "agree" were signed on the final telegram, it was as if all the strength of the body had been drained. Raising his head, several cold rays of cold light containing murderous intent immediately locked on him, and Okayama Nosuke and several other radicals who did not agree to sign the contract were desperately unwilling to leave.

But Shigenobu Okuma couldn't think much about these eyes, and put down his pen and emphasized in a self-comforting manner: "Everyone, please remember that this is a truce!" and not a final peace agreement. I hope everyone will work together and wait for the empire to come again! ”

"Coordinates 210, wind speed rest."

Outside Wugu City, 24 105mm War Hammer Type 14 howitzers sprayed out huge orange fireballs after adjusting Zhuyuan, and after a while, 10 kilometers away, the Pizi Nest was filled with shells, and the violent explosion and vibration frightened the rabble of the Manchurian army pale, but there was a large group of Japanese troops behind who did not dare to run around, you must know that those Japanese were much more ruthless than the other side, so they could only curl up and wait for the shells to end.

"Stand up. Get the and get ready to fight! Tang Jiyao brandished his pistol with a hideous expression, and threatened the soldiers to get up and prepare. A few months ago, he was still full of confidence that he wanted to rematch with Yang Qiu and avenge Guangxi's revenge. But I never thought that the revenge had not been avenged, and the Japanese army, which was invincible in the past, was defeated so quickly and so miserably, except for Jinzhou, it had lost all its territory, and Shandong lost more than 30,000 people in one go.

Just as he gritted his teeth and kicked and kicked those boneless banner soldiers to get up and fight, the guards rushed to his side, looking nervous and shouting: "My lord, the Japanese have run away!" "What!" Tang Jiyao hurriedly put aside the guards and looked back, only to see that the Japanese army behind him began to retreat, and he didn't even leave a flag, obviously completely giving up the Pizi Nest and setting up a big camp. Before he could figure out what was going on, the flag soldiers and bandits who had long been frightened and did not dare to move due to the pressure of the Japanese army also rushed out of the trenches and fled.

No matter how capable Tang Jiyao was, he couldn't stop the defeated soldiers, so he hurriedly ran to the headquarters to ask what was going on. But when he arrived, he found that Tie Liang and Zaitao were packing up their things, but Prince Su Shanqi didn't know where to find the former Qing Dynasty clothes, with a pearl on his chest, and even the prince's hat inlaid with Dongzhu was turned out and put on, sitting on the Taishi chair with a dead ash, and he didn't move a little bit despite the persuasion of a few subordinates at his feet. Kawashima Sulang next to him saw that he was reluctant to leave, and shouted anxiously: "Prince, let's go!" When you return to Japan, you can continue the great cause of restoring the country, so why sacrifice here? ”

Before Prince Su could speak, Tang Jiyao couldn't help but shout: "What's the matter? What the hell is going on? ”

Seeing that he still didn't understand the situation, Zaitao didn't know where the evil fire came from, and suddenly pointed to his nose and shouted: "The surname is Tang!" You don't fake, you don't know that Japan surrendered? In my opinion, you Han people deserve to die! They should all be killed. ”

Japan surrendered? Tang Jiyao is stunned! Looking directly at Kawashima Speed, the latter's face turned red and tried to argue: "It's not surrender!" It is a temporary truce, and sooner or later the empire will return to Manchuria. Although he vigorously argued that it was an armistice agreement, everyone was not stupid, and how could Japan be able to fight it back if it did not have the resources of Manchuria. Thinking that he had fled thousands of miles to Japan, and after joining the Manchurian army for revenge, he tried his best, but in the end, this was the result, Tang Jiyao's emotions were completely out of control, and he scolded and yelled: "Bastard! I knew that you little Japan couldn't be trusted! It's still a emperor, it's not as good as a little white face under the belt of a girl's pants. ”

Kawashima Sulang was scolded by him and his face turned black, and it could be seen that the guards behind him didn't dare to attack, so he didn't care about Prince Su's kindness, glared at Tang Jiyao and walked towards the door, but just as the front foot stepped out of the gate, a cannonball fell accurately. The violent explosion swept all the front yard away, and two stones slid fiercely across Shanqi's face, and the bloodshot and pain made the old man who supported Yuan Shikai to come to power, but regretted it and began to exercise full of **, closed his eyes.

Under the guidance of a Hai Dongqing, hundreds of shells killed Kawashima Sulang, Shanqi and Tang Jiyao. A moment later, the last golden dragon flag on the central flagpole of the camp also slowly fell and turned into ashes.

On November 20, the Wehrmacht broke through Piziwo, and the Manchurian Army disappeared less than four months after its establishment.

On the same day, at the last minute before the end of the deadline for the peace talks, Takaaki Kato, who had received a telegram from the Prime Minister, signed the Sino-Japanese Armistice Treaty of the "Eight Articles of the People's Republic of China" in Shanghai with Wu Tingfang, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China......!!!
