It is impossible for Avalon to continue to focus only on destroyers, as the countries of the original world did.

It turns out that why does the world only need destroyers?

It's that countries don't have demand.

Of course.

At the same time, it is also an unspoken mutual compromise.

Everyone only engages in destroyers, so don't do special stuffing, you have to stimulate everyone, otherwise we will have an arms race during the Cold War to see who can afford it.

In fact, there are still all kinds of small means between various countries, today you produce a 5,000-ton destroyer, tomorrow I will produce an 8,000-ton destroyer, anyway, I will call her a destroyer.

Later, the original destroyers were forcibly downgraded to frigates.

What is the difference between a modern destroyer and an original cruiser?

Wood has wow!

The displacement is thousands or even tens of thousands of tons.

It has the ability to fight as a single ship and also has a range of thousands of kilometers.

Wasn't this a proper secondary capital cruiser lady in the past?

So in Avalon...... No, it should be said that it is in a world like Azure Star, which is in a state of war all year round?

The invisible restraint still exists here, otherwise Avalon would not need to hide so secretly from people's sight in the dangerous cursed sea area, and boast about it on TV to the sky.

But everyone is like this, there is a horizontal line that suddenly jumps out of a tall person, and it is a tall person who is still tall, isn't that looking for trouble?

There are words of envy on everyone's lips, but in fact everyone knows what everyone else thinks.

However, relatively speaking, Azure Star is a little more relaxed than Koji's original world.

At least an expeditionary town guard like Avalon, as long as you don't go back to the rear and pretend to beep in the face in front of others, you're going to fight the deep sea and win and listen to it as news.

Then let's go back to the question of the demand for warship models at sea in such a war era as the Azure Star.

In the end, of course, there is only one answer:

Powerful!

Unbeatably powerful!

You have the ability to turn your entire town guard mansion into a battle fortress like the deep sea perch.

Destroyers with a displacement of one or two thousand tons, there is a place for them here.

Heavy patrols of five or six thousand tons can play a major role.

Light, regular-class aircraft carriers.

Battleships, battlecruisers.

Or......

Super battleships with a displacement of sixty or seventy thousand tons!

As long as it can defeat the deep-sea fleet, then it is necessary to pursue it.

If you have the ability to transform a 300,000-ton battleship, no one will scold you for being brainless.

Battleships had to be wanted.

The question is, what kind of battleships did Avalon need.

Or is what Avalon needs is the capital battleship of the original concept.

The three battleship design drawings and plans in front of Koji represent three different concepts of battleships from the perspective of the modern world.

The first.

Traditional big ship cannons.

Big is good, more is beautiful.

Huge displacement, thick defensive armor, oversized caliber naval guns.

It's about being able to fight and resist, standing up to blow you up, you can gnaw and move me, even if I lose!

Your anti-ship missiles have a long range, high accuracy, and great power?

Come.

Hit me!

See if your spear is sharp or my shield is thick.

Don't say it, this kind of defense-level supership can really be built in modern society.

In the past, even world-class ships with a displacement of 40,000 or 50,000 tons have a modern freighter of 30,000 or 40,000 tons, and you have to bomb it for a whole day (a torpedo that hits the soul is not counted).

However, if this kind of tortoise-like Iron King Ba really wants to be built, it is really pure money, and there is a panic burning.

But in a world like Azure Star, it's perfectly applicable!

The second.

Super arsenal ships.

Huge arsenal of war at sea.

Your aircraft carrier claims to be a mobile airfield at sea.

Then our modern battleship will be transformed into a mobile arsenal of destruction at sea.

It's better not to mess with me, dare to glare at me, I'm hundreds of missiles in a minute, and I'll teach you how to behave.

You can hide for a while, but you can't hide for a lifetime.

Want to hit me?

When I'm so big, it's all seawater?

I can scrub the ground with strategic missiles from afar, and I can organize dense barrage interception with air defense missiles at close range, and I don't need to stealth who comes or who dies at your doorstep.

This is also the most likely path for the development of large surface ships in the new era, and the development of ships is big enough to stuff weapons that can scare people to death with a number of them, and live a wild porcupine.

The third.

Aviation battleships.

A super has briefly appeared in the genre several times in history.

It is also a long-range attack and close defense, another way of expression of arsenal ships.

It's just that the neon Hyuga Ise flight battle was entertained as a joke for a century.

Later, a certain fighting nation also came up with the so-called modern missile cruiser with various missiles at the front end and the flight deck at the back end, which was also regarded as a laughing stock.

There are several other examples of this, all of which are cerebral experts trying to come up with a new type of warship that can compete with the aircraft carrier, the hegemon of the contemporary navy, and the fact that the aviation battleship can be mentioned several times is enough to show its rationality.

Three cases, three options.

To be honest, Koji is really not easy to decide.

Modern technology that has beaten the backward era will certainly succeed in either mode.

So Koji doesn't have to worry about investing a lot of resources into it to get a sad ending like a joke, and it's definitely no problem to bully and bully the artillery ship if it's not good.

In fact......

Koji prefers the third option.

It is the first aviation battleship model that was proposed and practiced.

The disadvantages of the old naval guns, as well as the ample rich space brought by the huge tonnage of the hull, made it impossible for a 40,000-ton battleship to carry a 406-mm naval gun, and a 100,000-ton giant ship to carry a 1,000-mm railgun.

1000 mm caliber main gun......

Why don't you go to heaven, there is no room for your great god on earth.

Although in history there have been several attempts by aviation battleships that can be called unsuccessful.

However, Koji still sees its strengths, which are its flexible combat style and all-round ability to deal with more complex situations.

The failure of the Hinata Ise in World War II was due to the fact that they still used old naval guns, and the nature of naval guns was difficult to forcibly integrate with the carrier-based aircraft.

In fact, the idea of the aviation missile cruiser that the fighting nation made back then is still very good.

But the old bear was already showing signs of fatigue.

Backward design.

Backward missile strike system.

The strength of the backward fleet and the helplessness of forcibly cobbling it together.

But again, no matter how bad I am, the one I use to bully those who are more backward than me is definitely leveraged!

And Koji is so obsessed with the third design scheme, there is actually a little selfishness in it, so he hesitates whether it will bring serious consequences if he does this.

……

Avalon is huge.

Of course, Avalon is also messy.

It's chaotic because there are construction excavation sites everywhere here.

But at the same time, Avalon is also beautiful because it is full of artistic green flower beds.

I've heard a lot of rumors about this town guard mansion before, and now that I'm really stepping on this strange land, Big Sister Mao-chan still feels a little unreal.

The strength of the Royal Fleet, on which the sun never sets, is undoubtedly strong (the former first brother of the navy, now...... ）。

Because of the strong style of a certain queen with white legs, the European Imperial Mansion has always been responsible for contacting Avalon, and Bismarck did not hesitate to take the initiative to ask for information about Avalon from the group of corrupt ships who regarded her as a class enemy.

However, as far as the shipwrewn of the E Wing Department is concerned, she can't tell what kind of place Avalon is.

This town guard has been around for too short.

It's also going too fast.

In less than a year, Mr. Governor was officially included in the Imperial Palace.

Then, in just over half a year, he built the Avalon Town Guard from scratch in this sea far away from federal strife.

The shipwrewn of the Ou Emperor's Mansion still knew about this town guard mansion in the period of successfully surviving the defensive battle, and she was somewhat skeptical of the various dazzling news that came back later.

But after today, all Bismarck's suspicions were gone.

Although it was only seen from the air in a hurry, everything about this town guard mansion was so close to the rumors, and even far more than the rumored prosperity.

It's a beautiful town's house.

It's like the Imperial Palace.

The only regret is that Bismarck didn't see other shipwresses along the way.

The land is full of innocent and cute goblins rolling on the road or in the grass.

Girls who are in a hurry but full of sunny smiles, they are either wearing awkward hard hats and operating construction machinery, or they are discussing some incomprehensible topics with their peers.

Most of the girls who can be selected to send Avalon in the current period belong to the former professionals of the European Imperial Palace.

They are also tasked with establishing a home in Avalon.

Now it seems that they are doing very well.

When he passed the intersection just now, Bismarck had already seen a shopping mall......

Oh, it's not called a mall, it's not a name Bismarck had heard before, it's called ...... Called a convenience store?

And the point is that the convenience store is not a welfare facility opened by the town guard, but a private profit store opened by a retired ship lady who immigrated to Avalon in the first batch.

This shows that Avalon has formed its own consumer market.

It is still the easiest to have consumer demand and market.

The important thing is that she was able to open a private convenience store, which shows that Avalon has the basic conditions to produce its own goods.

That's remarkable.

Half a year ago, this was just the last wild island in the Endless Ocean.

Today, there are pleasant living areas, industrial areas where work is done day and night, and production areas that provide security for residents.

Of course......

There is also a certain otaku sister who likes the popularity of the Internet.

Although he had not been exposed to the Internet before, it was not difficult for Bismarck to understand it.

The bond between the ship mother and the admiral itself exists in the soul network, and it is said that some admirals can build a spiritual network with his ship mother and can communicate with each other in the heart.

So after the data network proposed by Avalon, the European royal palace quickly accepted this new business.

Sister Cat thought about her sister when she first heard about the convenience of the Internet.

Tirbitz.

I'm definitely having a lot of fun now!

Then I inquired about the facts, and sure enough, that was the case.

It is said that the books of her sisters who were drawn at the beginning now have an electronic version on the Internet, which is simply ...... Unforgivable.

The more I think about it, the more angry I become, the momentum of a certain D will battleship big sister soars again.

……

I shuddered inexplicably.

A certain housegirl with messy clothes suddenly felt a panic in her heart.
