The Invincible-class battlecruisers were the first battlecruisers built in the British. In 1905, under the leadership of the British First Sea Secretary Fisher, the British Naval Ship Design Committee proposed the "Ideal Cruiser" warship design scheme, which envisaged combining the firepower of the dreadnought battleship with the speed of the cruiser to serve as a strategic mobile force to complete the rapid deployment and strategic support tasks of the foreign detachment.

This new type of warship, which combines firepower and speed, can be used as a flagship to lead its own reconnaissance detachment to break through the warning barrier composed of enemy light ships and carry out forcible reconnaissance; Serve as the vanguard and rearguard of the battlefleet, and cover its flanks, expanding the results or covering support if necessary; Lead your cruiser fleet to capture and destroy enemy stray or sporadic ships.

The battle cruiser is not used as the main decisive battle of the fleet with the battleship as the combat object, but is designed to fight all kinds of cruisers, and it is a very functional battleship with the characteristics of large-caliber main guns, high speed, and light armor. In pursuit of speed superiority, battlecruisers deliberately reduced their protection capabilities to create a fatal weakness......

The design requirements for the Invincible-class battlecruiser were to have a displacement of more than 17,000 tons, install eight 12-inch guns (two fewer than the Intrepid), have a top speed of 25 knots (four knots faster than the Dreadnought), and have slightly thicker armor protection than the armoured cruiser, which is not comparable to the Dreadnought.

Chen Hao has been struggling for a long time about how to develop the navy, and the dreadnought that is about to appear on the world naval stage is the most powerful warship in this era, but as a player, we all know that the battleship will become a live target for aircraft carriers in the future. If you buy multiple Dreadnought-class battleships this time, and you don't have the money to transform your navy in the future, then your glory in the game will only be short-lived.

There are not many such anti-heaven tasks as Captain Gint's treasure, and in his memory, only this treasure has such a big harvest according to historical facts, and it would be good to make money and maintain expenses in the future. Although he wished that he would soon have a navy in his hands that could compete with the British, Chen Hao still resisted the impulse to buy dreadnoughts frantically. It was decided to develop battle cruisers first over the next decade.

Battlecruisers have the ferocious firepower and higher speed of battleships, but the flaw is that the armor is too thin, and battleships will be eliminated after the speed of future technological development. After careful analysis, Chen Hao felt that as a player, he would never want to wrestle with the British Imperial Navy, so there was no need to develop a fleet like a European power.

Britain was far away in Europe, and it was unlikely that their main fleet would go to Asia to find the player fleet to fight. On the contrary, the Japanese Navy has this possibility. In the future, Chen Hao hopes to change more plots, and most of them are plots related to Japan, and it will be easy to change the plot if he can win the Japanese NPC navy, which is not yet powerful.

After the appearance of dreadnoughts in the naval sequence, the battleships of the Japanese Navy could only be considered second-rate, and the Invincible-class battlecruisers were enough to deal with the flagships of the Japanese.

Chen Hao asked Silva to find the blueprints of the Invincible-class battlecruiser, and the memory was that Michelle Rothschild triggered a mission when he bought a warship after getting Captain Ginter's treasure. The mission clues were related to the new warships, and the British Naval Committee designed the Invincible-class battlecruiser, but the budget was not approved. Michel was rewarded with original drawings and some supporting technology after taking the initiative to order two.

What Chen Hao wants most is the blueprint of the dreadnought, but the dreadnought, as the latest British warship, will definitely not let the blueprint fall into the hands of the player in the early stage of the game. In addition to their thinner armor, the Invincible-class battlecruisers use the same technology as dreadnoughts, such as steam turbines

After getting the core technology, and then find a way to poach some talents from domestic shipyards, shipbuilders can start trying to build warships. After Silva agreed, Chen Hao immediately signed an agreement with him, and then he briefly told Silva about the task process of obtaining the technical drawings of the battlecruiser.

Chen Hao knows every detail of this task. But he didn't tell Silva everything, just the first two steps. If only he told the whole process like a prophet of the future. I guess Silva will think he's a demon. The most unlucky is Michelle Rothschild in the UK, Chen Hao not only robbed the treasure that should have belonged to him, but now even the opportunity to obtain advanced technical drawings has been robbed.

Including the payment paid to Silva, the cost of the dreadnought was about £3 million, and the Invincible-class battlecruiser was £2 million. The three warships Chen Hao cost 7 million pounds, if you count the drawings for the construction of large docks and the drawings for battle cruisers. Eight million pounds was spent.

Chen Hao felt that the money was well spent, and at present, the British dreadnoughts and Invincible-class battlecruisers were not yet in service, so he had the opportunity to order warships and obtain drawings. By the time these two types of warships were put into service, the British's construction technology had already taken shape, and they were afraid that they would treat the two types of warships as military secrets.

Chen Hao sent Silva away. Then go to Yang Du, who was busy, and tell him about the upcoming 8 million pounds to buy a warship. Hearing this astronomical figure, Yang Du almost went crazy, how many big things can be done with eight million pounds! Now that the three warships have been spent, he blushed and argued with Chen Hao, but seeing Chen Hao's resolute attitude, he had to give up.

After Chen Hao walked out of Yang Du's office, he received a system prompt: "Player Chen Baxian, due to the disagreement between you and your subordinate Yang Du on the development concept, Yang Du's loyalty has dropped by 1 point, please be careful." ”

Chen Hao couldn't help but smile bitterly, the system will increase loyalty when players and subordinates have a tacit understanding, and will also reduce loyalty when there is a disagreement, so it is not surprising that Yang Du's loyalty has decreased. However, he didn't worry about this problem, Captain Gint's treasure was worth more than 30 million pounds after processing, and after he invested more money in the government affairs that Yang Du cared about, Yang Du's loyalty increased.

Chen Hao is not ready to invest money in Cam Ranh Bay to develop the economy, Cam Ranh Bay can be used as a military port, and he is not ready to expand the scale of Cam Ranh Bay for the time being. After this period of immigration, Cam Ranh Bay already has more than 20,000 Huaxia NPC civilians, and there is no need to add more. After establishing a base area in the southwest, he began to invest heavily in government affairs, such as developing industry and commerce, attaching importance to education, and so on.

After Chen Hao left Yang Du's office, he was ready to go offline, and he made an appointment with Ban Qianqian to go offline on time today, and then accompany her to buy clothes. On his way to his house, an NPC guard came up to him and saluted, "My lord, an alien said that he had something important to see you. ”

Chen Hao has a lot of prestige in Cam Ranh Bay, and other players will greet him politely when they meet him, and they usually don't meet him so formally when they have nothing to do. He looked at the time and saw that there were still about twenty minutes left before the agreed time, so he returned to the command headquarters and ordered the guards to bring the player over.

Chen Hao was very surprised when he raised his head and saw the player coming in, because this player's dress did not fit in with the game. Almost all the players in Cam Ranh Bay are wearing formal military uniforms, and there has never been a person wearing a suit, and the player who appeared in front of Chen Hao at this time was dressed in a straight suit and tie, looking serious and old-fashioned.

There was obviously an arrogant look on the face of the person who came, and he said condescendingly: "You are Chen Baxian?" ”

Chen Hao was a little unhappy in his heart, and said lightly: "This is the office of the Cam Ranh Bay Command Department, it seems that there is no one else to sit here except me." ”

"Huh! Game only! It seems that you are doing well in the game, but the game is just a game after all, and it can't be used on a big stage. Let me introduce myself, I am Li Lei, deputy chief of the points section of the Game Points Administration, and I am here to help you convert game currency into game points. After converting to game points, you can sell the points to the Authority at the price of 10 yuan per point, or donate them to the state for free. Of course, if you donate for free, you will actually get some honors, which is much better than what you are the boss in this virtual world. ”

Chen Hao's face suddenly became very gloomy, and a fire rose in his heart, he was so angry not because the bullshit deputy section chief in front of him was impolite. He has memories of the future, knowing that in the first ten years of the game's operation, a large number of enthusiastic players donated a lot of game points to this bullshit authority for free, but ten years later, a big scandal was exposed, and the bureau actually sold the points donated by players to foreigners for profit.

Some players are just average in the game, but they have set a plan for themselves, and they will use a fixed amount of game currency to convert into points and donate for free every week or month. It wasn't until the scandal in the tenth year of the game was exposed that this kind of player found out that he had become the No. 1 SB in the sky, and all the points saved from the game currency exchanged between his teeth became the mansions, luxury cars and beauties of the Authority personnel.

Chen Hao unfortunately became one of the first SB of Tianzi, and from the beginning of the game's operation, he stipulated that he would exchange one-fifth of the game currency obtained in the game for points every month. After the scandal of the Authority was exposed, he was so angry that he smashed the virtual light brain that he had worked hard to save money to buy.

Chen Hao was so angry at that time, not because he was reluctant to donate game coins, but because he felt that his blood had been fooled. Because of this memory, he mixed well in the game, and after getting a large amount of game currency, he never exchanged the slightest point, let alone donated it to feed the dog.

Chen Hao didn't want to feed the dog, but the dog came all the way to Cam Ranh Bay, and he was very dragged with his tail, Chen Hao would not be polite to such a dog, he said slowly: "I have earned millions of pounds in game currency this time, and there should be a lot of game points converted into game points!" If you donate, forget it, after all, I'm also poor......"

Chen Hao was interrupted by Li Lei before he finished speaking, and he said with a straight face: "Young man, you are still young, you should establish a correct outlook on life and values, it is enough for people to live in the world with food and clothing." According to the ratio of game currency to RMB, you can exchange tens of thousands of pounds to be enough for you to have no worries about food and clothing, and the rest of the money is donated to do things that benefit the people of the country, isn't it good?
