"It is astonishing that the Kingdom of Italy has built a 13,000-ton first-class dome capital ship with a speed comparable to that of a cruiser. Without waterline armor, a small cannon can knock a hole. The robbed Russian military attache said with a mocking face.

"If Your Excellency had the courage to command a battleship against the sidechord fire of four 13.5-inch guns and four 6-inch and eight 4.7-inch guns, you would have been able to smash our ship to pieces." Tycho said disapprehantly. "Any cruiser-class battleship is looking for death in the face of such powerful firepower, and the battleship-class guns cannot penetrate the ship's dome, although it will enter the water, but it will not cause fatal damage. HOWEVER, YOUR ALEXANDER 2U-CLASS BATTLESHIP HAS ONLY 2 12-INCH GUNS ON THE SIDE CHORD, 2 9.4-INCH GUNS, AND THE MAIN ARMAMENT IS ONLY 14 INCHES, WHICH CANNOT WITHSTAND THE ATTACK OF 13.5-INCH HEAVY GUNS, AND EVEN IF THERE IS AN ARMOR BELT, IT IS USELESS IN THE FACE OF THE MAIN GUNS ABOVE 300MM. What's even more pitiful is that there are only 4 6-inch guns on the side side side of the secondary guns, and in the process of firing the secondary guns, the extra 8 4.7-inch guns of our battleship can completely suppress the personnel on the surface of the ship and immobilize. It can also easily destroy the opponent's secondary gun position. Moreover, your country's warships only have a speed of 15 knots, and once they meet the opponent's warships of the same level, they will fall into an embarrassing situation where they can't fight and can't escape. Tycho said-for-tat. And point the finger at the Russian demonstration ship. It is very clear that the opponent's warship is not an opponent of the REUMBERTO class at all.

"Your assertion that you can prevent the main artillery from bombarding the core layer is just a word, and it may not really be possible." The Russian military attache said with a pale face.

"At least our country has 13.5-inch artillery and has done it well. I think that in this regard, my country has more say than yours, both in theory and practice, right? Tycho said disdainfully. THE MEANING OF THIS IS OBVIOUS, A COUNTRY THAT DOES NOT EVEN HAVE ARTILLERY OVER 12 INCHES, DOES NOT MATCH REUMBERTO.

"I heard that you have a new type of dome cruiser, which is very good, I wonder if you can introduce it?" Wen Ting-style Wen Hanlin, who was always ready to attack, suddenly spoke. Originally, it was not his turn to come out on this occasion, but he was the proud protégé of the old man and the teacher of Concubine Zhen. Coupled with the old man's special arrangement, he also came in, waited for a long time, and finally it was his turn to speak.

Tycho was slightly stunned, and was surprised that there was a non-professional interested in a **-class battleship at this kind of meeting. But still introduced.

"It seems that this ship is very inferior to the cruisers of Britain, France and Russia, and it is said that it costs 300,000 pounds, which is really expensive." Wen Tingshi smiled and shook his head.

"Is there something wrong with this guy's head?" After the translator of Tycho Tong Guò knew what the other party was talking about, his first reaction was not that this guy was finding fault, but that the guy's head was abnormal.

"And your country's warships are not equipped with torpedoes and angles of attack, which is very suspicious of cutting corners." Wen Tingshi saw that there was no reaction from all parties and continued.

"I see, this is what Xu said about Qingliu, right?" Vittorio, who was on the side, said secretly in his heart, Y's fault finding found my head, isn't this looking for death?

"I want to ask first, is Your Excellency a member of the Beiyang Fleet?" Vittorio asked suddenly.

"In Xia Bucai, he is a Hanlin." Wen Tingshi said.

"Did you learn how to build a ship?" Vittorio asked again.

"Nope." Wen Ting's answer was very crisp.

"I see, no wonder the Qing Kingdom can only build 2,300-ton warships, it turns out that there are a group of people like Mr. who are making trouble behind their backs." This sentence, Vittorio said it again in English and then again in Chinese, in a word, full of shock!!

"What do you mean by that? How did I become a troublemaker behind my back? Master Weng asked angrily.

"I'd like to ask this Mr. Wen a few questions." Vittorio said.

"Please." Wen Tingshi replied with some fuss.

"Do you know what a water-tube boiler and a fire-tube boiler are?" Vittorio asked?

"This ......." Wenting-style language competition.

"Do you know what a vertical steam engine and a horizontal steam engine are?" Vittorio asked again.

“……。” Wen Ting-style is at a loss.

"Do you know why rapid-fire guns have a high rate of fire?" Vittorio continued.

“……。” Wen Ting-style speechless.

"No matter how bad it is, can you draw this boat for me with a pencil?" Vittorio said smugly. Immediately, he glanced at Wen Tingshi, who was at a loss, and continued: "A person who doesn't understand anything actually comments indiscriminately, this Qing country is because of ignorant people like you interfering with truly capable talents to make the Qing country's shipbuilding industry so unbearable. How is the difference between a person who doesn't even know how to draw a basic picture and a naïve child criticizing Confucius in your country? "Don't say it, under the influence of Xu Jie, Vittorio still studied Chinese culture and knew that there was a person like Confucius. …,

"Who is Your Excellency? If you re-celebrate the event, how can you be allowed to shout in court? Weng Tongyi said with a pale face.

"I can swear that no one here is more familiar with building ships than I am." Vittorio glanced at Weng Tongyi with contempt.

"May I ask this gentleman's name?" The Alcohol King asked.

"Italian ship designer, Vittorio Cuniberti. Designer of the **-class dome cruiser. Vittorio replied.

"You are Ambassador Vittorio? I really didn't expect to see you here. The German military attache exclaimed.

"Mr. Vittorio's boat is indeed quite good. With a displacement of 4500 tons, such combat power has basically reached the limit. And the cost is already quite low. "The British military attaché was quite objective. (After all, the two countries have just cooperated, and face still has to be given) and the Russian representative has far less knowledge of battleships than Vittorio, so he will not say much about it. Among the military attaches of other countries, Vittorio was also more respectful, and they all said hello.

"Can Mr. Vittorio tell me what is wrong with Wen Hanlin? And what are the advantages of your country's warships? Liu Buyun asked in accordance with Guangxu's will.

"First of all, it is inappropriate to compare a 6,000-ton or even 9,000-ton warship with a 4,000-ton ship. Vittorio said and didn't forget to shave Weng Tongyi's eyes.

"Secondly, I'm afraid this Wen Hanlin doesn't even know the battleship market, right? I tell you the truth, my country sells more than 320,000 pounds sterling to other countries for modified warships. The £300,000 is already very low. Vittorio said.

"The cost of this battleship can buy 2 Zhiyuan, I'm afraid it's too high, right?" Wenting-style mouth is hard-spoken.

"There is no problem with this battleship hitting two Zhiyuan. And I don't know if this Wen Hanlin knows that the price of silver and the pound is constantly changing? Vittorio said with a smile.

"What is price comparison?" Wen Tingshi whispered to himself. And this sentence was accidentally heard by the military attaches of the surrounding countries, and then the hall burst into laughter.

"A man who doesn't even know what it means to compare prices is still commenting on a battleship? It's ridiculous. Vittorio laughed too. Said intermittently.

"To evaluate whether a battleship is excellent, it depends on two aspects, first, whether the price is acceptable. Second, whether the set tasks can be accomplished. Vittorio continued. The former determines whether the modified warship can be equipped or not, after all, if a warship is beyond the acceptable range of the country's economy, no matter how good the performance is, it does not make any sense. The latter determines whether this type of warship can play its role in the war and complete its mission. The **-class dome cruiser is designed to be able to serve as a vanguard in the battle of the main fleet or to deal with the opponent's lightning strike battleship, and is not used to confront the opponent's capital ship and first-class cruiser head-on, so. In terms of purely mission, the **-class dome cruiser is enough to suppress the opponent's second-class cruisers, and even if it encounters the opponent's first-class cruisers, it has a chance to escape with its high-speed and efficient sub-liquidation. In the battle of the main fleet, the ship is equipped with a large number of 6-inch rapid-fire guns, which can completely deal a fatal blow to the mine-striking ship. AT THE SAME TIME, BECAUSE THERE IS ALSO CORRESPONDING PROTECTION ON THE GUN POSITION, IN THE EXCHANGE OF FIRE, IN THE FACE OF THE OPPONENT'S 4.7-INCH GUNS AND 6-INCH GUNS, THE SURVIVABILITY OF THE GUN POSITION IS COMPLETELY MORE POWERFUL THAN THOSE WARSHIPS WITH NO PROTECTION OR ONLY ABOUT 70MM ARMOR PROTECTION. A battleship's ability to resist strikes is not only to survive a fierce naval battle, but more importantly, to maintain its firepower and mobility in the midst of artillery fire. ”

"In the eyes of Your Excellency, can the new cruiser of your country ordered by me in Beiyang only be used as a scout in the land division?" Liu Buchan asked on behalf of Guangxu.

"The 4,500-ton warship can only be used as a reconnaissance ship in the European Navy, but in the Far East, the fleet strength of all sides is not very strong, and the **-class dome cruiser can still take on the decisive task. After all, the largest warship of your neighbor is only more than 4,000 tons. Measured by your country's financial resources and operational objectives, the **-class dome cruiser is still very suitable. Vittorio was still very polite to the chief of the Northern Fleet.

Because of Vittorio's turmoil, the Russian military attache was disgraced, and the rest of the introduction was just a passing scene, and the subsequent introduction of Germany and Austria-Hungary was limited by their own naval strength, so it was a role worthy of the prince's study. What was in Germany in 1889? The 10,000-ton Brandenburg-class battleship has only a 12-inch main armament and a speed of 16.5 knots. ALTHOUGH THE MAIN GUN HAS 6 280MM GUNS. (Arranged on the central axis, the design was still relatively avant-garde at that time) but the secondary artillery firepower was only 6 105MM guns and 8 88 guns, and the actual projection volume was not high, so compared with the British, French and Italian navies, there was still a significant gap. As for the Austro-Hungarian Empire, not to mention that the best warships are on the same level as Dingzhen, and the only effect of its display is to make the Qing Dynasty regain some self-confidence. As a result, the first "International Navy Model Exhibition" in Beihai came to an end in the depression of the Qing Dynasty, in the satisfaction of the British, French and Italian representatives, and in the chagrin of the Russians and the envy of Germany and Austria. And the impact of this event has just begun.
