"The closer you get to know and get to know it, the more you can feel the power it brings."

When Wilmington climbed aboard the 105, he touched the heavy turret in front of him, looked at the barrel that could be stuffed into a person, and sighed.

The officers and men on the 105 ship completely ignored this foreigner with an indescribable sigh on his face, and then each did his own thing, routinely cleaning the deck every day.

William did not lose his temper, pulled the corner of Wimington's coat, followed the officer on the ship, and walked towards the gate of the bridge.

Entering the interior of the battleship, it is not a compact passage, you can even walk two people side by side, and the stairs leading to the upper floor are not narrow, and it is rare that two people can go up and down at the same time, it will not be crowded, and there is no need to turn sideways.

William didn't feel much, and Wilmington couldn't help but sigh: "It's too extravagant." Why waste so much space, knowing that such a large space can be used to do more things. ”

The two were greeted by the deputy captain of the 105th ship, with the rank of lieutenant colonel, and when he heard Wilmington's words, the lieutenant colonel said without replying:

"Our warship design concept, in addition to ensuring strong combat capability, also fully considers the comfort of the warship, no matter how strong the battleship is, it is a dead thing, and the combat effectiveness is achieved by relying on the captain's personnel, especially the ocean-going warship, which should fully take into account the living environment of the soldiers."

This concept, in this era, can almost be said to be groundbreaking, after all, the combat effectiveness of the battleship is a careful design.

However, when Wilmington heard this, his eyes lit up, and he immediately thought of another benefit of this design, although it would waste tonnage and sacrifice the combat effectiveness that large tonnage should have, and this consideration of the soldier's living environment was also another naval culture, and even he felt that there was a lot to be done.

When designing warships, the British Navy often prioritizes combat effectiveness, and then considers the environment in which soldiers live.

As a result, every warship is often quite unfair in terms of human consideration.

You must know that more than 700 people have to live on a battleship, especially when they are sailing in the ocean, these 700 people live in a crowded and cramped environment for several months in a row, and often have not yet arrived on the battlefield.

"Then your soldiers, on this warship, do you live comfortably?" Wilmington couldn't help but ask.

"If you want to be comfortable, then don't be a soldier." The lieutenant colonel in front replied lightly.

This made Wilmington blush a little, after all, a battleship is a battleship, not a cruise ship, at most, it is as comfortable as possible, how can there be comfort.

However, Wilmington obviously misunderstood, the officers and men on the battleship were not comfortable, but the living environment was really good.

Unlike in this period, a battleship was crowded with seven or eight hundred people, and only three or four hundred people were needed to exert the strongest combat effectiveness on a dreadnought-level first-class battleship.

Coupled with the advanced power system, a lot of space is saved, and the layout design of the battleship is also very perfect, making full use of every minute of space, each soldier has his own bed and locker, as well as a large restaurant, a seawater desalination system beyond the times, and even allows soldiers to take a comfortable hot shower every day.

Comparing the living and working conditions on board the active navies of various countries, it can be described as heaven.

A comfortable living and working environment, as well as a nutritious and varied diet, as well as a complete medical system on board, can not only avoid non-combat attrition, but also keep the officers and men on board in good condition at all times.

In dealing with the relationship between weapons and operators, the equipment of the Red Police Base has always considered the combination of combat effectiveness and comfort.

The Red Guard Navy, regardless of the class of warships, fully took this into account, otherwise, it would be more than enough to install 380 mm caliber guns on a 27,000-ton battleship.

The same is true of cruisers and destroyers similar to battleships, the speed, armor, and crew are fully considered, and although a part of the tonnage is sacrificed, the overall combat effectiveness has not been weakened.

Anyway, Fan Yize doesn't have to consider the construction cost, the cost is the same.

Wilmington did not quiet down since he got on the ship, and asked the lieutenant colonel a lot of details on the warship, which were not secrets, and the lieutenant colonel also answered all questions, showing gentlemanly demeanor and landlord friendship.

The journey was short, and the two soon arrived at the captain's room under the leadership of the lieutenant colonel.

As the only place where guests could meet, Fan Yize waited for the two of them in the captain's room, and the lieutenant colonel directly pushed open the hatch, invited the two to enter, closed the hatch, and left.

In the captain's room, the various furniture and tools of small leaf rosewood made the two of them feel as if they had left the warship and arrived at the office of the leader of a certain country in a short moment.

In particular, one of the all-ivory tables and chairs is very valuable, even if there is no second set in the world.

I've seen rich people, but I've never seen the captain's room of a battleship decorated like this.

If the two of them went to the captain's room of the Third Fleet, they would not have such a strong feeling, because after seeing too much, the feeling would naturally fade.

The most eye-catching thing in this not-so-cramped captain's room is not the pure ivory chair, but the gem-encrusted globetrotting chart of the world across the captain's desk.

Gems of various colors, inlaid and combined, form a huge world map, even the two who have seen the world, they can't help but sigh, the local tyrant is really inhumane.

Just relying on the gems on this map, you can buy a few battleships, even the British Empire, which is the most powerful in the world, would not dare to be so extravagant.

On the other hand, this is just the captain's room of a battleship.

Even the two couldn't help but think that if this battleship was sunk in the future, they would have to do everything possible to salvage it, as long as they could salvage half of it, they would not be able to enjoy it for generations.

When Fan Yize pushed open the door of the captain's bedroom and walked in, neither of them had yet recovered from this extreme luxury.

"Ahem"

A gentle cough pulled the two back to reality, and when the two saw that Fan Yize didn't know when he was already standing on the side, embarrassment appeared on their faces at the same time.

"The last time I met Mr. Fan, it was simple to the extreme, and when we meet today, it is extravagant to the extreme." William was the first to speak, and said with heartfelt emotion: "I really don't know, which one is the true face of Mr. Fan." ”

"Whatever you want, no constraints, whether it's clay or gold, it doesn't make any difference in my eyes." Fan Yize said something that made the two of them scratch their heads.
