    It is also a common practice in various countries to fish out sunken battleships and reuse them. During the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894, the Japanese actually captured the Zhenyuan ship and incorporated it into the combined fleet.  In 1912, the Japanese dismantled the Zhenyuan ship, but these beasts placed the anchors and chains of the Zhenyuan ship in Ueno Park in Tokyo to humiliate the Chinese.  There are also rumors that the Japanese even dismantled some parts from the Zhenyuan ship and made them into houses. The heroes who died on the ship were crying day and night in a foreign country. It was simply outrageous.  Things took a turn, and in the battle with Fengjun, the Japanese also lost two battleships, and they were both large battleships of more than 30,000 tons, which were more impressive than the Zhenyuan ship.  At the end of the war, Zhang Tinglan immediately ordered the Kongo and Kirishima to be fished out. After several months of hard work, these two large ships were finally fished out.  Among them, the King Kong was relatively seriously damaged. It had been blown apart from the middle and lost its use value. Therefore, it was just used as scrap steel and was recycled.  However, in accordance with the Japanese practice, Zhang Tinglan also sent the anchor and chain of the King Kong to the Fengtian Military Museum at that time. After taking over the Central Plains, he was sent to the National Military Museum, and used the steel of the King Kong to smelt ten  Give exquisite accessories to the meritorious officers of the navy.  As for the Kirishima, because it sank off the coast of Lushun, the damage to the hull was very serious, but the structure was not damaged, and it is still of use value. The huge hull has remained at the Lushun Shipyard, and Chinese engineers have studied the ship many times.  battleships to find out the weaknesses of Japanese warships.  Wu Yulin smiled and said to Zhang Tinglan: "Vice President, in the past, we wanted to repair the Kirishima and fill the gap in our maritime power. However, because the power system of large warships cannot be produced domestically, this wish has never been realized. Just one day  Years ago, we finally made progress. It can be said that we successfully repaired the Kirishima. "The power system of a large warship is not an easy task. It is necessary to make a behemoth of tens of thousands of tons move quickly and stably at sea.  Driving, materials, and craftsmanship all have considerable requirements. There are only a handful of countries in the world that can produce power equipment for large warships. Although Germany has similar technology, it has problems with the Mackensen.  The Allies have tightened restrictions on Germany, and large equipment is not allowed to be exported to China.  The shipyards could only turn to other aspects. In the end, Wu Yulin and the others targeted the General Electric Company of the United States.  General Motors, which will be famous in later generations, is not yet the most important military industrial enterprise at this time.  They are responsible for providing steam turbines for U.S. Navy warships, and the Americans are also faced with two choices.  One is a reaction steam turbine and the other is an impulse steam turbine.  The reaction steam turbine is an early technical solution for steam turbines.  Because it is relatively simple and easy to implement.  The representative is the British steam turbine.  However, the reaction type is technically relatively simple, but its disadvantage is that it is difficult to increase the power.  Instead of being reactionary, GM adopted an impulsive approach.  Later generations of marine steam turbines were impulse steam turbines, which were more efficient.  However, the Americans encountered the problem of strong vibration during high-speed operation. Since the relationship between the high speed and vibration of the impeller has not been fully understood technically, the general-purpose impulse steam turbine is not yet mature.  It has become a useless thing that cannot be achieved at a high level or at a low level.  It makes American battleships all slow turtles, but in order to encourage domestic production, the Americans have to adopt them. In fact, speaking of it.  Any industrial country has such a process.  After some weighing, although the American gadgets have flaws, this is the only realistic option. If they are perfect and good, they may not sell them to you.  Therefore, Wu Yulin gritted his teeth and introduced a full set of technology and production lines from GM.  This deal was completed in 1923. After getting it back, China hired a large number of ship power experts from Germany to engage in joint research, but they were confused and made little progress.  A paper published by the British Wilfred Campbell at the American Society of Mechanical Engineers solved the problem of high-speed rotation stability of the rotor.  It played a vital role in the development of contemporary impulse steam turbines.  Relying on his achievements, General Motors has made rapid progress in impulse steam turbines.  At this time, GM felt regretful, but there was no way. Their complete set of technologies had fallen into the hands of China, and because this layer of window paper was pierced, China also instantly figured out the key.  ¡°And thanks to the help of a large number of German experts, China has not only trained its scientific research team, but also made hundreds of improvements.  Just when the Fengtian was launched, China finally made decisive progress in large-scale ship power.  ¡°In one fell swoop, China left behind Japan in this field and entered the world¡¯s advanced ranks.  However, since there has been no actual verification, Wu Yulin and the others did not dare to use it on the new ship rashly. Instead, they chose to repair the Kirishima first and practice their skills.    After the repair, the Kirishima's armor was strengthened and a large number of anti-aircraft weapons were installed, making the battleship an out-and-out fire hedgehog. Its displacement was also increased by 3,000 tons, and its full load displacement reached  39,000 tons.  However, due to the replacement of a new steam turbine with a power of 125,000 shaft horsepower, during the trial voyage, the speed actually reached 30 knots, which exceeded the original design data. With such a speed, it is completely able to keep up with the aircraft carrier formation.  No wonder Wu Yulin was beaming with joy when he talked about it.  Zhang Tinglan was extremely happy after listening to the introduction. It is not easy to take advantage of the Americans these days, and the new Kirishima not only took advantage of the Americans, but also slapped the Japanese in the face. It was really a big deal.  Happy news.  "Vice President, now that the Kirishima has been repaired, please change its name and then officially join the naval formation. We can't wait!" Zhang Tinglan also smiled and nodded: "I think it will be called Changbai Mountain.  Let's build battleships and battlecruisers in the future, all named after famous mountains. " "Vice President, are you saying we will also build battleships?" Wu Yulin's eyes widened. After all, Zhang Tinglan also said that he would also focus on developing aircraft carriers.  If we build more battleships, I'm afraid the funds will increase again.  "Which warships to build depends on strategic needs. At first, we mainly considered operating in coastal waters, which may be protected by shore-based aircraft. The aircraft carrier formation does not need battleship escorts. But now that Borneo has been taken, our navy has one mission, and that is to  Maintain the safety of the South China Sea routes. The island is more than two thousand miles away and the terrain is very complex. Without battleship escort, I am worried that the aircraft carrier is too fragile." Shen Honglie nodded frequently after hearing this: "The vice president's consideration is reasonable. In fact, it is not possible to build a battleship.  It must be a waste of too much money. We position the battleship as the bodyguard of the aircraft carrier. The firepower does not need to be particularly outstanding. As long as the speed can keep up and the protection is about the same, it is fully capable. The main attack task is still left to the aircraft. " "That's right.  " Zhang Tinglan said: "The battleship shipyard will start to design, but it will not start construction until the aircraft carrier is launched. " Wu Yulin also nodded hurriedly. He is in charge of naval armaments. The more attention he pays, the more funds he will get.  The happier you are.  "Vice President, we have designed a new generation of aircraft carrier, with a standard displacement of 23,000 tons, a full load displacement of 27,500 tons, a flight deck length of 260 meters, a speed of 31 knots, and can carry 70 aircraft, and can carry 90 aircraft in wartime." Wu Yulin  As he spoke, he sent the drawings to Zhang Tinglan, and then continued: "This class of aircraft carrier is the first class officially built by China. Everything is based on safety. The main function is to accumulate technology, so it does not directly increase the tonnage to  More than 30,000 tons. However, looking at countries such as the United States and Japan, they have not officially built a truly large aircraft carrier. At this point, we are ahead of the curve." Zhang Tinglan's mind turned to the data of some early aircraft carriers, such as Japan's Soryu.  -class, the Yorktown-class and Wasp-class in the United States all have a displacement of around 20,000 tons, or even less than 20,000 tons.  With the current situation of carrier-based aircraft, a 20,000-ton aircraft carrier is enough. Of course, by the time of World War II, it would be somewhat outdated.  But it doesn¡¯t matter if it¡¯s outdated. Zhang Tinglan is not prepared to let these two aircraft carriers serve until World War II. For example, ambitious Italy or Germany after Mustache came to power. If there are aircraft carriers, they may bring greater losses to the West.  .  Americans dare to claim to be the arsenal of democratic countries, and China will act as the logistics department of the Nazis to see who can outplay whom.  Zhang Tinglan has secretly made up his mind.  "The navy can increase investment. Major shipyards in Lushun, Qingdao, and Jiangnan are all in action. In addition to aircraft carriers, the construction of other escort ships and logistics supply ships must also be accelerated. As for funding issues, you don't have to worry.  "From the Borneo Development Fund." "This so-called Borneo Development Fund is actually a huge loan borrowed from the bank using the land and resources on the island after the founding of Nanhua, totaling more than one billion.  For Nanhua, the more powerful China's navy is, the safer they will be, so supporting the development of China's navy is also a very normal choice.  Zhang Tinglan stayed in Lushun for three days and finally decided to build two aircraft carriers, four heavy cruisers, ten light cruisers, and five oil tankers.  When this huge order was released, the entire military industry was elated. There were thousands of shipbuilding supporting companies. This order could create at least hundreds of thousands of jobs.  After arranging everything, Zhang Tinglan hurried back to Beijing. As soon as he arrived in Beijing, Wang Yongjiang took the initiative to find him.  "I would like to say that I have put forward a suggestion below, which is to encourage domestic women to marry Nanyang women and achieve national integration as soon as possible. I think this method is good. Just aThere are millions of natives in Luozhou. If they are all killed, it will not only attract criticism, but also be a loss. I think it is better to make use of it. Use up the young and strong men as much as possible, and the old people will let them fend for themselves.  Those children will receive a comprehensive Chinese education. As for the women, they will try to intermarry as much as possible. Within a few decades, they will all become mixed-race, and the ethnic problem will be solved.  "Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
