You're about to go to a new world, what era do you think the next world belongs to? World War I, or World War II?

The flagship of the Pacific Fleet, the junior Villadimore command ship that Xu Xuebin is riding, is far less valuable than the commander's exclusive command ship.

It has advanced electronic countermeasures and jamming capabilities, which are enough to paralyze the enemy's wireless communication capabilities, and a large number of computers in it can also crack the communications of the World War II period, and the encrypted telegram is not much difficult to crack in front of it.

However, such a command ship cannot operate alone, and once it loses the protection of the fleet, it will be very dangerous.

Therefore, the command ship needs to follow the fleet and command as it goes, and also keep itself in a safe area.

However, if it weren't for the command, Xu Xuebin didn't like to stay on this command ship, he liked to stay on the battleship even more, especially the powerful battleships in front of him.

The cannon of the giant ship is the romance that belongs to men, and Xu Xuebin is no exception, around the command ship, the four battleships sailing on the front and rear and left and right respectively, each with a displacement of an astonishing 64,000 tons.

This is the dreadnought second class battleship of the Red Guard Navy, in addition to aircraft carriers, a kind of main battleship capable of dominating the ocean theater of World War II.

Eight pressurized boilers bring a surging power output to the four steam turbines, with a total output of 240,000 horsepower, and the four-shaft propulsion can enable the 64,000-ton giant ship to reach an astonishing 32 knots at sea, and can continue to sail at this speed for more than 4,000 nautical miles.

In the extreme sea trial, the battleship actually broke out at a limit speed of 34 knots. long, but it shows its amazing explosive power.

The 270-meter-long hull is spindle-shaped, with the thickest middle and tapering in a parabolic shape toward the ends of the head and tail. Laterally, due to the arrangement of heavy upper broadside armor and upper armor deck, the ship has arranged the first main structural beam below the upper deck and the second main structural beam below the second deck, so that the ship has a double-layer hull upper main structural beam.

The ship has 32 main watertight compartments, from the third to the thirtieth watertight compartments, all of which are main armor areas, and the length of the main armor accounts for 90 percent of the length of the whole ship, with sufficient buoyancy and reserve buoyancy space, advanced air extrusion drainage system and perfect independent power supply loss management system.

Separate from the ship's power system, there are twelve turbine generators, located behind the ship's main watertight compartments, to ensure that sufficient power is available in the event of damage to the ship.

In order to ensure that it had sufficient defense against artillery and enemy aircraft, the ratio of the total weight of the armor to the standard displacement reached an astonishing 50%.

The dreadnought second-class battleship with a standard displacement of 50,000 tons cost 25,000 tons of special shipbuilding alloy to create this giant ship at sea.

As the most important criterion for evaluating the strength of a battleship, the dreadnought second-class battleship is completely different from the dreadnought first-class battleship, which is suspected of being equipped with small guns, and on this powerful battleship, four twin 406 mm/55 times the caliber main guns are installed.

These four main guns are arranged in a backpack direction in the bow direction and stern direction, and the rotating part of each turret weighs 1,500 tons, which has the protection against the attack of the main guns of the same caliber.

The whole structure of the turret can be divided into six layers, which are the automatic loading room of the turret, the rotating disk, the power room, the upper ammunition supply room, the lower ammunition supply room, and the medicine bag room. When the turret rotates, the six layers rotate together.

It can fire armor-piercing shells, anti-personnel grenades, personnel bullets, and the average weight of various shells is 1.25 tons.

At an elevation angle of thirty degrees, the maximum firing range can reach an astonishing forty-five kilometers with a rate of fire of 2.5 rounds per minute.

The range and lethality of the artillery projectile are very amazing, and the charge of the personnel anti-personnel grenade can reach 500 kilograms, and the radius of the lethality of the explosion is 500 meters.

And on each turret, there is an independent optical sighting equipment, independent computer control and backup diesel power generation equipment, for the automatic operation of the turret, to provide backup power guarantee.

Like the dreadnought-1 battleship's artillery and shell coordinated attack mode, the Dreadnought-2 battleship has adopted a centralized system in both command and attack mode.

Under normal circumstances, the control of the four main guns is in the fire control room, which is able to directly control the coordinated attack of the four turrets and fire shells manually.

If the bridge is destroyed during the battle, the four turrets will be transferred to independent computer control and, using independent optical sighting equipment, will continue to operate with personnel control.

The biggest difference from the Dreadnought first class battleship is that in addition to the advanced three-coordinate detection radar, the new battleship has also strengthened the efficiency and accuracy of the sea search radar, and for the first time, an advanced fire control radar has been installed on the battleship.

In the selection and installation of secondary guns, the Dreadnought 2nd class battleship also fully considered the defense of the air, and the 20 twin mounted 155 mm high-level dual-purpose guns on both sides of the battleship can easily carry out intensive fire projection on the air and sea.

In addition to the secondary guns, 60 quadruple 40-mm anti-aircraft guns and 120 close-up gate guns were installed.

The double-mounted, 30-millimeter Gaite cannon has an astonishing ultra-high firing frequency, and the explosive warhead on the special ship can easily cover the multi-layer protective barrage.

Perhaps it was felt that there would be a small boat that would threaten the safety of the battleship, or that it could be used for patrolling, and some twin 12.7mm heavy machine guns were also installed on such a large battleship.

In view of the fact that in the future, battleships must cooperate with aircraft carriers, or operate within the combat and patrol radius of aircraft carrier-based aircraft, this dreadnought second class battleship is not equipped with reconnaissance aircraft, and after having fire control radar, it is not even equipped with seaplanes for school shooting.

Such a powerful warship, let alone the navy of this era, even in the late stage of World War II, even in the face of the Japanese Yamato, it can be a tough fight.

In the face of the 460 mm main gun of the Yamato-class, the main gun of the Dreadnought II was not inferior at all, after all, the Japanese artillery technology of that period, the armor-piercing ability and lethality of the shells, were not much stronger than the main gun of the Dreadnought II.

Therefore, Fan Yize built four dreadnought second-class battleships in one go, and with the advantage that the Red Alert Navy soldiers did not need to be familiar with all the Red Alert naval units, Fan Yize declared war on the United States after the Pacific Fleet quickly formed combat effectiveness and quietly entered the eastern Pacific.

In Fan Yize's words, with this fleet, the mainland of the United States is no longer safe, let alone wants to hold the Pacific Ocean.
