700 Taiwan class and Xi'an class

Huludao. 【 I want: super fast update 】

Several bulletproof cars slowly drove into the factory.

The young guard looked at the license plate, suddenly remembered the explanation of the former veteran, and excitedly quickly picked up the phone to report the news, and after a while, the security force stationed at the scene was strengthened several times.

The convoy drove directly into the dock area, and the factory director and others who got the news hurried over, got out of the car and said hello to everyone, and after asking a few questions with concern, Li Mo took Li Enfu and McKinson to the outfitting area.

The outfitting area is located on the west side of the shipyard and has 5 piers that jut out to the bay, each with rails that not only facilitate the transportation of heavy parts, but also connect these rails to the Gyeongbong Railway and, through this main artery, to incoming factories across the country.

Due to the urgency of the war, the Huludao Shipyard is currently building all warships, there are more than a dozen ships in the outfitting area alone, and the dock area is 24 hours a day.

The shipbuilding base dug out by Emperor Li from the mouth of the Qing Dynasty has now become one of the largest military shipyards in northern China.

In addition, the Bohai Sea is the first gate to shield the heart of Beijing, with a good depth, from the perspective of war, far safer than the coastal shipyards on the mainland, so Li Mo not only developed Huludao, but also placed the ship design institute here, and relying on the Bohai Bay, a series of good offshore industrial infrastructure including Tianjin and Yantai have been established.

At that time, relying on foreign technical experts and workers, purely by throwing money to build a Honolulu shipyard, and now the country has formed Bohai Bay (including Dalian), the Yangtze River Delta (including Ryukyu), the Pearl River Industrial Zone, the northwest, northeast and southwest several large equipment manufacturing groups, not only has Asia's strong shipbuilding enterprises, the annual shipbuilding total tonnage occupies more than 9 percent of the whole Asia, and has replaced Europe and the United States, become Asia's largest equipment manufacturing suppliers, even in the wartime, complete sets of railways, oil refining and other equipment, It is also still exported to the Southeast Peninsula and the Arab region.

Coupled with the three-level training system of factories, technical schools and colleges and universities, it has completely made up for the shortage of front-line industrial workers.

So even if Li Enfu thinks of the future, he can't help but sigh.

And if you want to complete the coloring, there is still one important hurdle left, that is, to win this war, win the United States, and lay the foundation for the country's international status in the next hundred years!

Hearing Li Enfu's exclamation, Li Mo smiled and said, "Mr. Li is worried about the United States? ”

In front of Li Mo, Li Enfu doesn't need to hide anything, if ten years ago the United States was a mountain that was difficult to climb in front of him, then after stepping into the lane and relying on the huge population market advantage to catch up by leaps and bounds, today's United States has been declining, and he is no longer afraid of anyone, so he shook his head with a smile and said: "Back to the emperor, I am thinking, how long will we have to fight." ”

This is also a question that Li Mo has been thinking about for the past few days.

Hua Wan participated in the war for a year, but he prepared ten years in advance, and the consumption of the fierce battle for more than a year was not too big, so he was not afraid of two wars of attrition similar to Verdun, but the reserves were not unlimited, and it was not only the enemy who hurt if it dragged on for too long.

From this point of view, after taking Australia, China already has the strategic depth of the world's power!

The reason why Germany lost World War I and World War II in history was because he was alone, but also because he lacked sufficient strategic depth, and the land was surrounded by Russia and France, and the North Sea was stuck by Britain at sea.

However, under his almost shameless and lifeless gambling enclosure strategy, the depth of China's territorial strategy is unprecedented, and the only threat that can be posed by land in the next hundred years is Russia, which is currently mired in civil war, but Russia, which has lost more than 70% of its territory, especially Siberia and the rich western regions have been bitten hard by Germany, how long the road to revival is.

As for maritime defense, Li Mo has always pursued the strategy of preferring strategic points to land, except for the resentment of BHP Billiton in later generations, which made him salivate over Australia, and he really did not have much interest in the many islands in the Pacific Ocean.

From his point of view, there are not many places in the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean that can be called strategic nodes, the main ones being the Hawaiian Islands, the Aleutian Islands, the Colon Islands, the Solomon Islands, Guam, Noumea, the Cook Islands, Gapo, Djibouti, Socotra, the Strait of Hormuz, the Andaman Islands, Tasmania, Madagascar, Panama, and Cape Horn and the Cape of Good Hope. 【 I want: super fast update 】

Considering the comprehensive strength of the Pacific Rim countries, such as capabilities and population, the United States is a big threat at any time, and now with more than eighty percent of these islands and regions in the palm of his hand, Li Mo has actually built three lines of defense.

The first is the Aleutian Islands, the Hawaiian Islands, and the Colon Islands, and perhaps Panama will be added soon, among which only some small islands such as Midway Island do not belong to China, but it doesn't matter, the United States can no longer hold on, and even voluntarily gave up, just waiting to receive it itself.

The second island chain is the Chiba Islands, Japan, Ogasawara Islands, Guam, the Marshall Islands, the Lane Islands, and Polynesia.

Even if the United States can break through these two lines in the future, it will still face a third line of defense composed of the Ryukyus, Guinea, the Solomon Islands, Noumea and other islands, and this island line will be the rear barrier of China's mainland defense.

No matter how strong the United States is, even if it has nuclear weapons, unless it is willing to die together with China, if it fights a conventional war, it is estimated that it will be exhausted by breaking through these three island lines in a row, and it will have no spare strength when it reaches Australia and China itself.

If there is any deficiency in the Pacific Ocean, it must be the Panama Canal, which is not only a place that China must get, but also a place that Britain and the United States must defend, because before entering the Atlantic Ocean from the Suez Canal, there is also the Mediterranean Sea and the Strait of Gibraltar, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but if you take the Panama Canal, you will go out to the Caribbean Sea, where there are many islands, and considering the good relations between Cuba and China, it is difficult for the Entente to rest assured that Panama will be in your own hands.

Therefore, this time the United States released a signal of reconciliation and sent a special envoy, but he did not even want to see it, very simply, unless the United States gave up Panama, it will always maintain the idea of expanding abroad and competing for hegemony in the Pacific.

The only thing that is slightly worried is the direction of the Indian Ocean, the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa is not easy to take, if it is taken, after it is destined to lose India, Britain will be completely devastated and can only cheapen Germany for nothing, so Li Mo has no intention of hitting South Africa, he would rather continue to hand it over to Britain.

Madagascar, this place is the focus, but there is no need for a large army expedition there, and when France is defeated, it can be obtained by political means, as long as it does not engage in colonization, it is enough to learn from the methods of the United States in later generations, enclose and garrison troops, support local political forces, and maintain military deterrence.

But even if it's not perfect, after getting stuck in places like Gapo, Djibouti, the Andaman Islands and the Strait of Hormuz, it will be difficult for Europe to make it in.

If, based on these considerations, as long as the United States abandons Panama, in fact, it is not unacceptable to end the war now, but the problem lies with Germany!

If Germany has the initiative, then there is no problem in withdrawing together, because as long as Germany gets enough benefits, they are not fools willing to fight hard, the question is! Even if Germany released millions of troops on the Russian Eastern Front, it was still in a weak position, and according to Wang Shizhen's telegram, the two meat grinder-style wars of attrition carried out by Britain and France on Verdun and the Marne River in Lower Normandy on the east and west sides of France were actually just preparations for the recapture of Paris!

And the battle of Paris is not far away, maybe it will start around March next year, so even Germany smelled it and quietly began the third mobilization.

It can be seen that even if you lose, the Entente wants to take back Paris first!

Because Paris is so important!

There is Paris, there is France, and if Paris is lost, the solid triangle of Britain, the United States and France will become a two-legged walk, just like the current Hua and Germany, and whoever breaks it at the beginning of the war will be a catastrophe.

Hua and Germany have now survived.

With its own support, although transportation is difficult, at least Germany will not fall so much, not to mention that so many land forces deployed in Kuwait and North Africa are just in case.

Therefore, the war will definitely be fought, but to what extent and when it will end has become a big doubt in everyone's minds, some people think that North America should be annexed, some people say that as long as the United States is defeated, there is no power to fight back, and some people think that it should be ended by taking advantage of this opportunity.

"And what does the gentleman think?" Li Mo turned his head to hear the former prime minister's thoughts.

"Let's burn the fire to the East Coast!"

Looking at Li Mo, Li Enfu smiled and narrowed his eyes like a cunning old fox, because he knew very well that the West Coast was not the core of the United States, and if the United States wanted to feel pain, then the heart of the equipment manufacturing industry on the East Coast must be destroyed!

"Looks like we're going to have another trouble in the Atlantic." Li Mo smiled slightly and stopped in front of several huge warships in the center of the outfitting area.

McKinson, who had not spoken, saw the "baby", his eyes suddenly lit up, and he excitedly put on his safety helmet and drilled into it, even Emperor Li couldn't take care of it, and even Li Enfu was disturbed by these giant ships and almost forgot the complicated war and international relations, and listened to McKinson's introduction wholeheartedly.

One Xiqin-class heavy mothership, two Taiwan-class battleships, two Xi'an-class large cruisers, and six Honolulu-class light cruisers will all be delivered to the Navy within six months.

Needless to say, the Xiqin-class mothership, now the Entente ships will run backwards when they see the dragon wing sign, the Honolulu-class light patrol is actually the follow-up plan of the Yangtze River class enlargement, the Bashan class, the standard displacement has reached 12,300 tons, and the full load has also reached 15,000 tons, and the armament has not changed much, mainly because of the strengthening of air defense and anti-submarine capabilities, and because of the enlargement of the hull, the seaworthiness is also outstanding, and the endurance is up to the 15 knots / 16,000 nautical miles standard of the capital ship, and the speed is increased to 33 knots!

The reason why the name was changed was to commemorate the recently decommissioned Honolulu, China's first self-produced warship, which was of great significance, it was the first self-produced ship in the true sense of China, so it was named the Honolulu class.

However, the Taiwan-class battleships and Xi'an-class large cruisers in front of them are all fully designed, and they are also the main battleships in Li Mo's planning for the next 20 years.

Although he is a BB fan, Emperor Li must also admit that unless there is a special reason, the Taiwan-class battleship will become a battleship in China, so he is extremely strict with this BB.

The total length of the ship is meters, the waterline is long meters, and the width is 35 meters, and the draft originally Li Mo wanted to learn the Iowa-class to limit the width, so that it could pass through the Panama Canal, but later the test found that if the current width of the Panama Canal, the width must be compressed to 30 meters, and the large displacement will not be able to exceed 50,000 tons, considering that even after the war, it is unlikely that it will not belong to the Atlantic Ocean for a long time, and the future of the navy is mainly aircraft carriers, so he gritted his teeth and canceled this restriction, which also made the Taiwan-class displacement reach a terrifying level, standard/ 51,500 tons, normal/56,700 tons, full load 60,800 tons!

Such a heavy warship, the power requirements are too high, after the design institute had to optimize the line again, after the use of square stern and propeller, finally reached the standard displacement of 28 knots, full load of 26 knots of low requirements, endurance of 15 knots / 16000 nautical miles, 12 knots / 20000 nautical miles, and the design department also deliberately set aside room for modification this time, and wait for the future power to progress and then change.

Three triple L45/406 mm naval guns, when using bottom-row ammunition, the large firing range can reach 56,000 meters, and the extra-heavy one-ton alloy armor-piercing projectile can penetrate any of the main battleships currently under construction in various countries within 25,000 meters.

The 8-meter rangefinder, with the naval gun follow-up system, coupled with radar assistance, has a higher level of fire control capability, and in order to deal with future sky threats, not only a second air defense control tower has been added, but also the air defense fire channel has been strengthened again, and a large number of anti-air observation and sighting equipment has been added.

According to the requirements of the Navy, the Taiwan class must be able to deal with at least 20 to 30 strikes by any naval attack aircraft that will appear in the next ten years, so the design department has specially strengthened its anti-aircraft firepower, 4 triple L52/152 mm secondary guns, arranged diagonally, 8 twin L47/130 mm high-level dual-purpose guns, 12 quadruple 37 mm rapid-fire machine tubes, 12 quadruple 25 mm machine guns, and 8 twin meter rapid-fire machine guns, Experiments have shown that it is effective against at least two waves (16 per wave) torpedo aircraft and dive bombers.

In addition to emphasizing the anti-aircraft firepower, the armor protection has also been strengthened, and it is still a box layout for key protection, and the main armor belt continues to be arranged at an angle, and extends to 65 meters underwater, which initially solves the problem of near-misses, and the thickness has also reached 320 mm, and the actual protection capability has reached the caliber of naval guns.

The stern is 152 mm, the upper part is 152 mm, the three-layer bottom plus 180 mm thick anti-torpedo guards, the front of the conning tower and turret are 380 mm, the top and gun mount are 305 mm, the rest is 203 mm, the turret shaft is 330 mm, the vital horizontal armor has reached 200 mm, the key part is to reach 250 mm, with the internal multi-layer compartment protection, it can resist the continuous penetration of extra-heavy 1-ton shells fired by its own naval guns at a distance of 16,000 meters.

In addition to the Taiwan-class battleships, what attracts attention in the outfitting area is the concept of the Alaska-class in the future, referring to the current version of the German De Vlinger-class battle cruiser, combined with China's own concept of centralized protection, and the Xi'an-class large cruiser designed after enlargement.

Li Mo's design standards at that time were large endurance, strong survivability, and also required that it could serve as a flagship in future low-intensity conflicts, with strong air defense and anti-submarine capabilities, and that it could suppress all known combat cruises at sea, with a speed of at least 31 knots.

According to this concept, after repeated consideration, the design department chose the highly survivable German De Fringel-class battle patrol as the blueprint, and continued to strengthen it to come up with the Xi'an-class plan, with a displacement standard of 27,450 tons, normal / 30,700 tons, and full load / 33,000 tons.

The waterline is 206 meters long, 27 meters wide, and the draft is 78 meters, with the standard four-shaft twin-rudder design of the Chinese capital ship, 18 booster boilers, and 4 steam turbines, which can release 147,600 horsepower, plus square stern and large inclination propellers and other technologies, the high speed finally reached 31 knots, and the endurance reached 15 knots / 18,000 nautical miles.

The reason why in the case of small displacement, the endurance has increased greatly is entirely because of the use of a number of technologies, and the Taiwanese class is slightly conservative in the use of technology, the Xi'an class, which is mainly used by the designers of the new generation, is much bolder, and on the basis of the sea radar, an experimental anti-air radar is also installed.

In order to meet the endurance requirements of metamorphosis, the young Chinese designer is Chuangxingde for the first time to install two steam turbine generators, no longer relying on gear transmission transmission during low-speed cruising, but using generators to directly drive the propeller to drive the warship, making the Xi'an class the first hybrid ship, and also successfully met the endurance design requirements.

Originally, the designers considered the use of 4 twin L50/356 mm naval guns, but the navy was accustomed to the offensive triple configuration that could shorten the hull and reduce the protective weight, and the use of 4 twin 365 mm naval guns, the displacement was bound to increase to 38,000 tons, which greatly increased the cost.

Just when the dispute was over, the armament department proposed a usable version of the L55/305 mm naval gun, and Li Mo also chose it.

The L55/305 mm naval gun, not yet able to compare with the later Alaska-class kind of perverted gun, but the power is already considerable, compared with the 356, although it is 51 mm smaller, the projectile power and range have dropped a lot, but in the test, it was found that the L55/305 mm naval gun in the use of a generation of extra-heavy 430 kg alloy armor-piercing shells, any known battlecruiser is impossible to resist, even China's own Beijing-class battleships are difficult to deal with.

This gun has also reached the standard of 365 mm naval guns in terms of firing range, and it has reached a terrifying distance of 48,000 meters after using the bottom row of shells, and the armament department is also developing tungsten alloy sub-caliber armor-piercing shells for it, which makes it not only serve as a personal escort for aircraft carriers in the future, but also deal with battlecruisers and even threaten battleships at sea, and can use sharp naval guns to support the army, and the versatility is very good.

6 twin L47/130 mm high-level dual-purpose guns, 8 double-linked 76 mm high-level rapid-fire guns, 12 quadruple 37 mm, 12 quadruple 25 mm, 12 twin meters, is completely an air defense hedgehog, with anti-aircraft radar, can provide early warning for the aircraft carrier fleet, but unfortunately has not yet come up with a perverted radio proximity fuse, otherwise it can definitely reach the level of the top air defense ships of World War II in later generations.

In terms of armor, since this is a capital ship, it is not responsible for decisive battles, and only targets the current and rebuilt strategic cruisers of various countries, so it does not pursue too high requirements.

The main armor of 210 meters of inclined arrangement, the protection capacity is equivalent to the vertical 280 mm carburized Krupp armor, the bow and stern and the upper part are 152 mm, the torpedo wall is also 152 mm, the command tower is 330 mm, the front of the turret is 305 mm, the top, the well and the gun mount are 203 mm, the horizontal armor does not dare to relax, the average is 152 mm, and the important places are thickened to 200 mm, which is even comparable to the Hebei-class battleships.

A total of 6 large cruisers of the Xi'an class were ordered, and Li Mo meant that he would be equipped with one for the future 6 fleets (including the Australian detachment) as a personal escort for the aircraft carrier, and its L55/305 mm naval guns also had enough advantages in dealing with regional conflicts, after all, the post-war was a regional conflict, and in the face of cruisers from many Latin American and African countries, it was of greater significance for you to park a warship of this kind than an aircraft carrier.

In addition, the 6 Guam-class ships will all complete the upgrade of naval guns by the end of the year, and the 4 Beijing-class ships may also have to be replaced with L55-type naval guns early next year, so by the end of next year, China will have at least 10 heavy aircraft carriers, 2 medium aircraft carriers, 5 light aircraft carriers, 4 406-mm Taiwan-class battleships, 6 406-mm Guam-class fast battleships, 8 356-mm Hebei-class battleships, 4 305-mm Beijing-class fast battleships, 6 305-mm Xi'an-class large cruisers, and 3 305-mm Jilin-class. 3 254-mm Dalian-class and at least 30 light cruisers, about 150 destroyers, 70 submarines, and more than 100 auxiliary vessels.

And these are the confidence of Li Mo to dare to enter the Atlantic Ocean twice and have a decisive battle with Britain and the United States!

"Mr. Li, you will send a telegram to Shaochuan in a moment, if the United States really wants to talk, let them give me a complete withdrawal from Panama first!"

: Ask for a guarantee!

Recommend a friend's book, "Anti-thief", like Hippo, he also belongs to the Wuqiang push on the shelf, some regrets, I hope you can give a collection, conditional brothers and sisters to make a first decision, there is a through train on the page, thank you!
