"Your Highness, is that it? I can see that He Wanting is a very ambitious person. If you keep it, I'm afraid it will be a disaster. After leaving the Forbidden City and getting into the car, Li Yanling said with some concern.

"I know, that's another poor person who is fascinated by power. However, my father has already said so, so what can I say? Wu Haoxuan was also a little helpless. He can't directly execute He Wanting and the newborn little prince indiscriminately. In that case, it would be too ruthless. At the same time, it will also make their father and son turn against each other.

Li Yanling was silent, she also knew Wu Haoxuan's difficulties.

"Alright. Yanling, don't think about it so much. From now on, the Security Bureau will strengthen the monitoring of He Wanting. If you find any misdeeds on the other side, stop them immediately. After grasping the evidence, I believe that my father has no reason to say anything more. Wu Haoxuan said.

It's not that Wu Haoxuan doesn't want to move He Wanting, it's that he needs evidence. In this way, it can be justified. At the same time, there is also an explanation for Wu Xingquan, so that the relationship between father and son will not be damaged too much.

"Yes, Your Highness." Li Yanling nodded. She knew what to do. She also believes that He Wanting is just the daughter of a big businessman, even if she has bad intentions, what kind of storm can she stir up? With the capabilities of the Security Bureau, it is possible to prevent problems before they occur. After getting the exact evidence, Wu Xingquan will not be able to protect He Wanting anymore. When the time comes, this crisis can be completely resolved.

Wu Haoxuan was also silent, in fact, he didn't expect things to develop like this. Originally, he thought that he could devote all his energy to the construction and development of the country, so that the country would become stronger. But I didn't think of it. Suddenly, there was an extra brother. Originally, there was nothing either. However, the ambition that the other party should not have will greatly affect the originally harmonious relationship.

The empire is now finally in the situation it is today, though. Having won several successive foreign wars, the Chinese Empire had begun to rise and become the hegemon of the Far East. However, Wu Haoxuan knew that the foundation of the empire was still too thin. There is undoubtedly a big gap compared to the Western powers. If you want to continue to rise and become the world's top power, you need to work hard. Only he can make the empire develop smoothly. Only then can the empire be able to avoid detours in the future. And with the help of the wars that are about to break out, he can get enough benefits for the empire. If anyone else came to power, they would never have this ability.

Therefore, Wu Haoxuan decided that the future throne was his, and no one could snatch it away. Whoever dares to have this thought, or even dare to take action, will be brutally attacked by him.

After the conversation between Wu Xingquan and Wu Haoxuan's father and son ended. The original weird atmosphere of the entire Yanjing seemed to have disappeared all at once. All the military and political dignitaries. It's still what to do, and it hasn't been affected.

However, when reporting back to the follow-up work, those military and political dignitaries expressed their support for Wu Haoxuan in a vague way. This fully shows Wu Haoxuan's grasp of the army and government of the empire. Even if Wu Xingquan was the emperor, what he said didn't work. The whole country is still in the hands of Wu Haoxuan. Don't say that Wu Xingquan didn't have the intention of abolishing Wu Haoxuan. Even if he did, if he dared to do so, he wouldn't have succeeded. In the end, it will only backfire and unnecessarily affect the country.

This time the turmoil seems to have passed like this. But. The Security Bureau's monitoring of He Wanting has not relaxed at all. Li Yanling was determined to get the evidence, and then completely beat He Wanting down to the ground, completely relieving the crisis.

As for Wu Haoxuan, he had already forgotten about this matter. He has too much government and military affairs to be busy every day, where can he have time to take care of such a trivial matter! Wu Haoxuan inspected the local economic and industrial construction as well as the army every day. The reform of the Imperial Army is underway, and fifteen group armies, including the Praetorian Guard, are beginning to be formed, and these need Wu Haoxuan's attention. In addition, the construction of the Imperial Navy is also being carried out in an orderly manner. However, in the face of the fact that the Japanese also began to fully devote themselves to the construction of the navy, the imperial navy still felt great pressure.

At the end of October, Marshal Sa Zhenbing, Minister of the Imperial Navy, and Marshal Cheng Biguang, Commander of the Imperial Navy and Commander of the Pacific Fleet, jointly asked to see Wu Haoxuan.

"Your Highness, according to the latest information we have received, the Japanese have still finalized the construction of a new warship with the British. The Japanese Navy ordered a battlecruiser named the 'Kongo-class'. This battlecruiser, with a full load displacement of nearly 30,000 tons, is equipped with four twin 356 mm guns and has a maximum speed of 27.5 knots. For the Empire, this is definitely a serious threat. Marshal Sa Zhenbing said. In particular, the 356 mm guns of the 'Kongo-class' battlecruisers put a lot of pressure on the Imperial Navy. You know, even if the Empire is about to enter service, the main gun is only 343 mm.

"Hmm.' The information of the Kongo-class' battlecruiser, I also received it. I have to admit that the 'Kongo-class' battlecruiser is a very good battleship. The 356 mm gun is also very powerful. However, in terms of combat effectiveness, I am afraid it is not as good as our 'Longfei-class' battlecruisers. Our 'Longfei-class' battlecruisers have a much less displacement than the 'Kongo-class' battlecruisers. The 343 mm main gun with a caliber of 50 times is not much weaker than the 356 mm main gun of the 45 times caliber of the 'King Kong class'. Even, the armor-piercing power is even stronger. In terms of maximum speed, the 'Dragon Fei Class' is also above 27 knots, and can even reach 28 knots, which is not slower than the 'King Kong Class'. In terms of defense, the 'Dragon Flying Grade' is much better than the 'King Kong Grade'. The armor of several important parts is about 100 millimeters thicker than that of the 'King Kong class'. This makes the defense of the 'Dragon Fei Class' much stronger than the 'King Kong Class'. If it's a one-on-one duel, the 'King Kong Level' is definitely not our 'Dragon Flying Level' opponent. Wu Haoxuan said.

"Your Highness, that's right. However, the Japanese have four "Kongo-class" ships, while our "Ryufei-class" has only two. Marshal Cheng Biguang said.

"There are only two 'Longfei-class' ships, but aren't there still two 'Longyao-class'?" The actual combat power of the Longyao-class battlecruisers is no worse than that of the Kongo-class. The 356 mm main guns of the 'King Kong-class' battlecruisers can penetrate the armor of the 'Longyao-class' battlecruisers. However, the 50-caliber 305 mm guns of the 'Longyao-class' battlecruisers were also able to easily tear through the armor of the 'Kongo-class' battlecruisers. The 'King Kong-class' battleships are, at best, dumplings with thin skins and big fillings. Wu Haoxuan smiled.

He knew that these people in the navy always wanted to build more capital ships. However, a capital ship is worth more than 2,000 Chinese dollars, which is simply burning money! Where is there so much money in the empire? Besides, both battleships and battlecruisers are always going to be eliminated. The Empire needed a small amount of equipment with some battleships and battlecruisers in order to protect the basic interests of the Empire. After the performance of the aircraft improves, the Empire's aircraft carrier formation will be a weapon for dominating the sea.

Seeing that Wu Haoxuan couldn't be fooled, Marshal Sa Zhenbing and Marshal Cheng Biguang had to stop mentioning this topic.

"Your Highness, we are here this time, because the warship design institute has already taken out the design drawings of the heavy cruiser." Marshal Sa Zhenbing said.

The Empire does not yet have the experience of building capital ships, and needs to build light warships first and then capital ships step by step. Only after accumulating enough experience can you have the ability to build capital ships.

After the construction of the 'Blue Dragon-class' light cruisers had already begun, and there were not many problems. The Imperial Navy, intending to move towards a 10,000-ton heavy cruiser.

Marshal Sa Zhenbing and others handed over the design drawings and various basic data to Wu Haoxuan. As long as Wu Haoxuan passes the examination, the navy can start construction.

This heavy cruiser has a standard displacement of 9,800 tons, a full load displacement of 11,200 tons, a length of 131 meters, a width of 18.6 meters, a draft of 7.5 meters, and is armed with three twin 210 mm 50 times the caliber naval guns, 10 105 mm single guns, 10 88 mm single guns, eight 37 mm machine guns, and four 533 mm torpedo tubes in the bow. It is powered by 16 oil-fired boilers, two steam turbines, four-shaft propulsion, and a maximum speed of 28 knots (the maximum speed was 30 knots during sea trials). The armor was 210 mm at the waterline, 75 mm on the deck, 254 mm for the main gun turret and 254 mm for the conning tower.

This heavy cruiser, whether it is armament, speed and armor, is very good. In particular, the defense is no worse than the "Kongo-class" battle cruisers of the Japanese Navy. It's just that the firepower is not as good as the 'King Kong-class' battlecruisers. However, the 210 mm guns, which are 50 times the caliber, can still penetrate the deck armor and side armor of the 'Kongo-class' battlecruisers, and can also pose a fatal threat to the 'Kongo-class' battlecruisers. Of course, as a last resort. The Imperial Navy would not take heavy cruisers to fight the Japanese battle cruisers, it was no different from looking for death. This heavy cruiser mainly had to deal with the light cruisers and destroyers of the Japanese Navy, as well as the armored cruisers that the Japanese might develop, and so on.

For this heavy cruiser, Wu Haoxuan is still very satisfied. (To be continued.) )
