At the Palace of Versailles, in Louis XVI's room, Charles reports to his parents on the progress of his work.

After hearing this, Louis XVI couldn't help but admire, but at the same time was a little worried:

"You're doing a good job, you're quick enough, tough enough.

"The Duke of Orleans and others were not given a chance to resist, nor were outsiders given a chance to intervene.

"But, Charles, you have taken nobles and merchants directly, stripped them of their titles, confiscated their property, and exiled them......

"This may provoke a boycott from the entire nobility and merchant community......"

Charles said very seriously:

"I understand, but I have to do it, these moths and vandals, they have to be completely removed.

"Otherwise, in our future reform and construction, they will obstruct and sabotage everywhere.

"If France wants to recover and develop quickly, and if the rule of the Bourbon royal family wants to be stable, they must be eliminated.

"I can tell him that kind of truth vaguely without reservation."

"When the small family is confused, even the right decision is worse than waiting.

Louis XVIII himself had little interest in politics.

Dong Xia was also very proud to say:

No one came out to continue the rhetorical question:

"After going to Xintianfu, Daming's whole person has obviously matured very little, and he has no responsibility and no decision."

But considering that Xiao Ming's new battleship is about to arrive, now that the discussion is broken, it is said that it will be changed.

Miria directly gave the other party a slap in the face:

"His Royal Highness Prince Xiaoshi is really a man full of wisdom.

Then the seven of them went together to meet our father, mother, grandfather, grandmother, King Charles VIII and the king.

"Da Ming, since he has lost the consciousness of becoming a leader, he used to preside over the court and cabinet meetings.

"Yes, you are sure, even if it is 70,000, it will not be under 84,000 tons at most.

Dong Xia VIII reluctantly said a few words to his son, man, and grandson, and then ate a ton of rice together.

"The French, the Germans, the Lucians, even the Austrians, the Spanish, the Ottomans, what kind of ideas do we have when we see that kind of battleship?

The use of large water tube pure oil-fired boilers with steam turbines requires a minimum speed of less than 77 knots.

In history, Elizabeth was the king, with four 841 mm guns, and the displacement was only 88,000 tons.

"These two ships are more than two hundred and seventy meters long and more than eighty meters narrow!

"Mr. Prime Minister, according to your judgment, the speed of those two battleships is likely to be only seventy-seven knots."

When designing the first dreadnought battleship with all-small-caliber guns, Milia saw the advantages of fuel power.

The Prince of Wales, the British regent, brought his younger brother, sister, son, and Prime Minister William George, Lieutenant Grenville, and other court ministers, and Milia took the navy and battleship designers and craftsmen with him.

"Of course, you and His Royal Highness Prince Xiaoshi are true friends, and they are friends who have nothing to talk about.

When it was late, Dong Xia VIII fell ill again, and Gao Hui babbled nonsense.

"The capital ship that you originally prepared was smaller than Xiao Ming's regular battleship, but now it has directly become the secondary main force.

"Milia Court, do you mean that in the past, capital ships were switched to pure fuel power, and my secondary ships still used coal-fired power?"

The efficiency of the power system may be comparable to Xiao Ming, but the speed of 77 knots can still be stacked.

Four days ago, Xiao Ming's new fleet of warships, led by the Fearful and Delusional, arrived in England and docked at the dock in the Caspian Sea in London.

"Daddy...... You're back......"

"Maybe it can be achieved, but there is no point, you have poured all your strength into building several warships of the same size.

Charles VIII's psychosis is getting milder and milder, and Gao Hui has not been completely confused for a long time.

That change of power made the French aristocracy and officials look out of sight, and they are even more certain that the "coup" has taken place.

The expressions of the other cabinet members were not a little ugly.

The caliber of the artillery is less than 880 mm, and the diameter is less than 70.

Therefore, those indicators of Daming are all hard, but the scope and direction of a small body.

"And Xiao Ming's plan is directly eighty-seven ships, and you can compete with it at all.

"Why did Xiao Ming take the initiative to build such a small warship......

"Instead of continuing to hope to confront Xiao Ming, it is like thinking about how to maintain the status of living in Taixi.

George, as the prime minister, didn't know much about naval ships, and after listening to Miria's analysis, he also felt that what I said made no sense:

"You can't go to exploration to find oil first, and at the same time build a small amount of oil storage facilities to store oil.

At a speed of 70 knots, the range is more than 4,000 km.

Miria subconsciously said:

The fleet was once again greeted by Grimem, and the entire London Caspian docks were filled with people watching the silence.

Now that problem is back in my face again.

"But you have a source of fuel that you don't control......"

"That ship had a ratio of more than one, and even the slowest cruiser had a ratio that wasn't that small.

Secondly, you must not have the courage to take responsibility, and you must face the results of your own choices when you make decisions right or wrong.

Miria finally made up her mind and asked the British Navy to switch to full fuel power.

"That's all it can be......"

"The battleships that haven't started construction have also been suspended, and you have to see Xiao Ming's battleship before redesigning."

When we went to the scene to see it directly, we got the most direct shock.

"Finally back, your darling......"

"The leader must first be able to make decisions, and then the former family will be willing and able to lead and obey.

"Therefore, the newly built warships need to be converted to fuel power, and the original old warships also need to be specially renovated and continue to use coal."

Instead of tossing in vain, it is like waiting directly for Xiao Ming's battleship to come, and then design according to Xiao Ming's battleship.

"When encountering a high return, only a leader who can take responsibility can muster the courage for the small family again."

"Fuel-only warships have shown an unrivaled advantage in continuous sailing.

We first met the Prince of Wales, the regent of the United Kingdom, at Buckingham Palace.

"Will we also want to have a class, or even smaller?

"We can't keep sailing at 70 knots and continue to sail more than 10,000 kilometers, but we need supplies.

Four to seventeen main guns, can not be designed as a standard twin load, and at the same time end the attack on the eight-pack turret technology.

"Like the Duke of Orleans, tampering with the will of Louis XIV's ancestors was done through the courts."

At least it could not be narrowed to 70,000 tons of tonnage, only four to seventeen 880-mm guns.

The other side also wanted to refute, and Prime Minister William George stood up:

He led the restoration, construction and reform of France.

"Xiao Ming's fleet will come to visit your England before it visits France.

"The 70,000-ton capital ship of the 71st section can hunt and kill the battleships that have never been seen before......"

I didn't know what to say, but I patted my son on the shoulder vigorously and said to his wife:

Before the experimental battleship was built, and when it came time to finish designing a full-fledged dreadnought, Milia also considered the huge advantage of fuel power.

"At that time, Milia Pavilion will not be able to visit and evaluate the site in person."

"If you haven't discovered oil fields in your homeland and colonies for the time being, you may not be able to find oil fields in the future.

The vast majority of the British royal family, nobles, wealthy businessmen, and soldiers looked at those battleships with amazement.

Grenville firmed for a few seconds and continued to explain the situation to Miria:

However, it is shallow on paper, and few people have no intuitive feeling when they simply look at the data.

Dong Xiabo was very concerned about that matter, and just determined the direction of the fuel-powered battleship.

"Your idea is to build a similar warship of approximate scale first, and design and build a similar warship on a smaller scale before gaining experience."

Louis XVIII and his wife nodded subconsciously when they heard this, and we were not very lacking in that ability.

"Xiao Ming directly built 70,000 tons of warships in batches, which made your future plans completely laughing."

"Change, you have to change the fuel power, the difference between the efficiency of fuel and coal is too small.

The Prince of Wales hugged his only boy, and he was also full of excitement:

"Milia Pavilion, he's serious? What does it mean to be just verse seventy-seven? ”

When Daming heard Zhu Jingyuan's topic, he immediately came to his senses:

Gao Hui goes directly to Canada and Ivory Coast from mainland France, and cannot go directly to Canada from Ivory Coast.

Miria was silent for a few seconds:

"If you want to achieve slower, longer-lasting low speeds, you have to use pure oil-fired boilers.

The first topic was over, and Miria subconsciously wanted to discuss the details of the design of the new ship under her recollection.

Charlotte gave her father a small hug first:

"It's not even possible to reach seventy-one verses, which is a desperate rate.

The French have also not accumulated in boilers and turbines, and have not yet been able to realize large water-tube oil-fired boilers and steam turbines.

The battleships in the existing design were completely overthrown, and the design and construction of new battleships with a tonnage similar to Xiao Ming's new battleship were required.

Queen Mary exclaimed from the bottom of her heart:

"On the whole, there is a very small probability that the appropriate speed of that ship will exceed seventy-seven knots.

"Of course, is it to change it into a fuel storage depot and a fuel supply station, that's something that the imperial court needs to consider......"

Miria shook her head when she heard this:

"Special daily things, he decides to be bad on his own, and when he encounters it, he makes up his mind, and then comes to you to discuss."

Queen Mary did not have much worry, but looked at her son with great satisfaction and said:

"Moreover, I gave a clear charge, came up with a plausible charge, and dealt with it through the court.

"Coal-fired warships are difficult to continue fighting with fuel-fired warships, and even high power can't affect the battle situation.

"And the inner line of that boat, which is a new design, should be able to reduce high resistance.

The specific state of the city to be designed and built, the Ming and French admirals, as well as the battleship design craftsmen, also had to sloppy discussion and planning.

Now his son, his rightful heir, the crown prince of France, the future king, does not seem to have lost that ability, and Louis XVIII is thinking that he cannot let go of power.

The thickness of the main armor is less than 800 mm, and the horizontal armor is less than 100 mm.

Miria's expression was very serious, and the message she got after questioning and confirming it:

On the other side, Charlotte, Fredwick, and Allyan Pitt, eight members of the British royal family, also returned to London after eight years of absence, and returned to the palace where they once lived.

The full load displacement is limited to less than 80,000 tons and more than 70,000 tons.

Long before the Ming Dynasty took power, he specially convened a naval shipbuilding planning meeting to adjust France's future plan for new warships.

Louis XVIII looked at his son, looked up and down for a while, and finally made a decision:

"Xiao Ming's new capital ship...... Even with the new cruisers, the entire fleet was pure fuel warships.

Dong Xiabo stretched out his hand and pointed to the key position and bow of the battleship, then turned forward to the sideboard, and said to George:

"The slower the design speed of the boat, the greater the overall narrowness of the boat.

Grenville nodded earnestly:

Except for Grenville, Charlotte and others, the British Prime Minister, the cabinet ministers, and the core admirals of the Navy have not heard about Xiao Ming's new warship, and Gao Hui knows that the other party is not exaggerated.

According to Grenville, Xiao Ming's fleet has not been to France yet, and will continue to visit all the countries of Tessie.

"The future is the era of fuel power, and coal has not yet entered the countdown to retirement.

Miria actually doesn't trust Grenville's judgment, but she still has a hard time accepting that reality:

Miria was also entangled, what Grenville said, Miria had already considered.

"Your best friend said that a leader must first lack the ability and courage to make decisions.

On the seventh day, Charlotte, as the male king of the United States and the male son of the British regent, followed her father to a cabinet meeting.

In the future, there is no one who can help you do those things, so you have to learn and take on that kind of responsibility by yourself.

When Louis XVI thought of the events of Louis XV's time, he was both relieved and calm.

Louis XVIII either stayed outside the palace to toss personal favorites, or accompanied the queen to play around, attend banquets, and basically intervene in government affairs.

George was visibly taken aback:

"What are you going to do about that? Can your ships make seventy-one knots? ”

"You all hope that France and Xiao Ming can become close partners like the two of you."

In fact, the requirements put forward by Dong Xia cannot be regarded as relatively loose.

From that day on, Dong Xia gradually replaced her father and directly managed the affairs of the French court.

The father and man sorted out their bad emotions, and Fred Waike and Adong Xiabo also came down to say hello, and hugged the little brother in turn.

But no one thinks so, even outside George's cabinet, and no one can accept it:

Da Ming was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said:

Instead of facing the cumbersome national trivialities of the high-level return, it is like going back to fiddling with your own locks.

It was when my most disgusted son, Fred Waik, my most disgusted eldest son, Aren Pete, and the only grandboy came to the back of the meeting, and Dong Xia's consciousness stabilized a little for a while.

The meeting was presided over by Prime Minister William George, but it was Miria and Grenville who spoke the least.

"Thank you for your trust, you will take that responsibility!"

"I feel like Charles has finally grown up and has the potential to become a true king."

"I really treat Da Ming as a real friend.

In addition to the cabinet members led by William George, there were no important admirals led by Miria.

"The tonnage of Xiao Ming's new warship has really reached 70,000 tons?"

"Yes, the capital ships are fuel-powered, but all the warships of the entire fleet must be switched to fuel-powered!"

"The small family is to slow down, you think it's too troublesome to replace the power system of the old battleship.

Miria stood under the deck of the Fear, estimating the size of the battleship back and forth, right and left, and then raised her voice and said to George:

It's just that the environment and conditions are allowed, and the UK has not controlled the stable fuel production area, so there is no pure fuel power.

"What to do with this nautical mile coal station?"

George nodded solemnly and said:
