    Just when Tang Jian was distracted and looking at the southern border of China, suddenly there was a sound of footsteps from behind. Tang Jian turned his head and saw that it was Tian Aden, so he smiled and said: "Aden, why are you here?"

    Tian Adeng stepped forward and said with a smile: "Captain, I see you have been in Fuzhou for a few days, but I see that you have been restless, as if you have something on your mind. Piaotianwenwang, 33 meters wide and 9.4 meters draft.

    Power: 8 oil-fired boilers.  Main engine power is 76,000 horsepower; 4-axis maximum speed: 23 knots and 24.7 knots; endurance: 11,800 nautical miles and 16 knots.

    Firepower situation:

    12 twin 356 mm 45-caliber main guns; 14 152 mm 50-caliber secondary guns; 8 76 mm anti-aircraft guns, 16 twin 25 mm anti-aircraft guns; 533 mm caliber torpedo tubes.

    Armor:

    The side armor belt is 305 mm, the turret front is 305 mm, the turret top is 150 mm, the gun mount is 203 mm, and the dome armor is 126 mm.  Total armor weight: 2199 tons.

    The biggest improvement of the Chinese super-dreadnought-class battleship is the power aspect. It uses a pure oil-fired boiler, which is much more advanced than even the most advanced oil-coal mixed boiler today. This new change in power is improved from the success of the aircraft engine.  of.

    One is the power of the artillery. Instead of using a 305mm main gun, a 356mm main gun with more powerful firepower is used. Any warship on any ship today, as long as it hits this heavy gun in the fatal part,  There is absolutely no way to escape the fate of destruction.

    The other is the addition of twenty-four anti-aircraft guns of different calibers, which is not available in any dreadnought ship in the world. This means that the dreadnought ships of other countries will not be able to counterattack when facing the Chinese Air Force. This is also  Why Tang Jian was so generous in selling Dreadnought's technology also played a misleading role.

    Although China's air force has begun to take shape at this time, the Dreadnought under construction by various countries has entered a critical juncture. Unless they reload anti-aircraft guns on the basis of the Dreadnought, for them, not only will they have to massively modify the Dreadnought,  With the construction plan, the pace of building the Dreadnought will slow down, which is impossible for all countries to bear. Who doesn't want to build an epoch-making giant ship as soon as possible, although it does not have the flaw of anti-aircraft guns.

    When countries began to build dreadnoughts with air defense capabilities, China's shipbuilding technology and aircraft technology took another step forward, which also did not pose much of a threat to China.

    No matter what, China¡¯s military science and technology will always be one step ahead. Who said China has the biggest cheating device!

    "When is the estimated time for the sea trial?" Tang Jian asked.

    "According to the current normal construction speed, sea trials will be ready in February 1908." Tian Aden said.

    "Haha, that means there are still seven months left, which is enough." Tang Jian said with a smile.

    "It is indeed enough. At this time, Japan's returning fleet will return home soon, and the three Longwei-class battleships will also be acquired by the Pacific Fleet!" Tian Aden said.

    "Hey, that's two Dreadnought-class battleships, ten Longwei-class battleships, plus the super-dreadnought ship that is about to be launched. This kind of powerful strength is more than enough to rank among the top three naval powers in the world. The Pacific Fleet  The great era is coming!" Tang Jian said excitedly.

    With such tyrannical strength, no country dares to underestimate China, let alone stroke China's tiger beard. That is no different from seeking death. This is the advantage shown in the face of absolute force.

    Tang Jian added: "The construction plan for the second super-dreadnought ship should also be launched immediately. When these two super-dreadnought ships are launched, it will be the time for China to compete for global hegemony. In the past two years, China has been recuperating.  At the same time, we will vigorously expand the army, striving to expand the original more than 400,000 Chinese Army to at least one million within three years, of which 100,000 of the Army will be transformed into mechanized armored forces, and the Air Force will also be vigorously developed. Now  Ten planes are not enough, there must be more than a hundred! That way, China¡¯s national power will not be afraid of any country!"

    Tian Aden took a breath. Just listening to Tang Jian's words, he knew that this was such a huge military expansion plan. When it was implemented in detail, the spectacular scene made people even more excited.

    Tian Aden said: "Captain, isn't this military expansion a bit too much? And it seems a bit reluctant given China's national strength!"

    Tang Jian waved his hand: "What's more? Although history has changed, the general direction of history will not change. I have a hunch that the First World War is coming. It will not be more than ten years at most. After the First World War, the real trend will not change."  When the time comes, China has already prepared for a rainy day and is well prepared to face the battle, so that it can compete in the world.?In an invincible position!  And don¡¯t forget, we now have two colonies, Korea and Japan.  "

    Tian Aden said with deep feeling: "Although we don't want war, we are not afraid of war. What's more, the First World War is not a huge opportunity. Maybe after the First World War, China will suddenly become the world leader.  It¡¯s a first-rate powerful country! Haha.¡±

    Tang Jian patted Adeng Tian on the shoulder and joked: "Adeng, when did you become philosophical when you spoke, haha, by the way, when did you help me build an aircraft carrier?"

    Tian Aden's eyes twitched and he said: "With the current level of technology, how can we build an aircraft carrier? Do you think I am omnipotent?" However, Tian Aden added: "If there is enough time, it is not  impossible."

    PS: There is only one update today. Well, I have a ligament strain. The doctor told me to take more rest. Please forgive me.
