Aslan immediately choked Franky to the point of speechlessness.
Because what Aslan said is true.
These old-fashioned warships that have no prospects for transformation are too troublesome and costly to dismantle. If they are not dismantled, they will only take up space. When the next weapons experiment is conducted and who knows when, it is better to transform them into scrap metal than to be blasted as scrap metal.
Turn waste into treasure and sell it at a good price.
"We want twelve ships together. Give us a round number, fifty million new Merlot coins!" After Aslan finished speaking, he turned to the next page.
"The price is fifty million!" Tres nodded to Franky quickly.
This fifty million is considered their extra money, and this is the condition for them to sell it this time.
For free money, 50 million is not bad.
"Your Majesty! I still want to emphasize that we are not responsible for door-to-door delivery." Franky reminded.
"I know!" Aslan waved his hand angrily.
The second page is still a destroyer, but it is not an antique like the Snowfield class, a scrapped battleship with nothing but the hull.
The Fleur-class destroyer was a destroyer developed by the Holy Breita Empire during the middle and late stages of World War III. It formed the main force of the Holy Breita Empire's naval destroyer fleet in the middle and late stages of World War III.
A total of 275 ships of the Fleur class were built in just two years and participated in several important maritime battles of the Holy Breta Empire after World War III.
The design of the Holy Bryta Empire destroyer has returned to the flat-deck ship type starting from the Frenel class.
After entering the Cold War, the surviving Frenhel-class ships were modified, and some ships were equipped with missile bays. They were decommissioned one after another twenty years ago, and some were handed over to the navies of other countries or regions.
The Frenhl-class destroyer has a standard crew of 353 people, a standard displacement of 2050t, and a full load displacement of 2500t.
The length of the ship is meters, the width of the ship is meters, and the height of the ship is meters.
The weapons and equipment are 5 Mk12 127mm 38-caliber naval guns, 3 twin 40mm Kate cannons, 10 single-barreled 20mm Oerlikon cannons; 1 quintuple 533mm depth bomb launch tube; SC air search radar
and SG sea search radar have been dismantled.
The power is two high-performance steam turbines, four oil-fired boilers, twin-shaft propellers, the main engine output power is 60,000 horsepower, and the maximum speed is: 38 knots.
Comparing the Yukihara-class destroyers and the Frennel-class destroyers, the speed of the Billy-class destroyers produced by the Merlox Empire is so poor that it is simply unsightly.
"Except for the radar system being dismantled, the weapons, equipment and power systems of the Fleur-class destroyer are all retained. The price is naturally not comparable to that of the Snowfield-class destroyer, which is 25 million Saint Yuan." Franky said seriously.
"Your Majesty! The Fleur-class destroyer has Blue Star's best-performing high-flat dual-purpose naval gun after World War III. The MK12 series 127mm high-flat dual-purpose naval gun has excellent performance. Its rate of fire is very fast. Through the electric gun mount, the follow-up
Designs such as the bomb hoist, hydraulic recoil, and electric ejector rod enable its rate of fire to reach an astonishing 15-22 rounds per minute." This time it was Tres who spoke, and he certainly didn't know much about weapons.
Frankie, a layman, can be compared.
"Wouldn't such a large turret affect the battleship itself?" Aslan asked slowly.
Tres opened his mouth slightly, not expecting that the emperor in front of him knew so much about battleships.
"That's natural. The weight and size of this naval gun are not small. The weight of a single turret has reached 20 tons."
Aslan nodded, quite satisfied with this answer.
The key is that this naval gun can be produced entirely by ourselves. I believe it will definitely surprise the Sino Continent in the future.
"How many Frenhel-class destroyers are you planning to sell?" Aslan asked.
"Although the Fleur-class destroyers have been decommissioned in the empire, they are still very popular in other countries, especially after transformation." Franky said confidently.
"Quantity?" Aslan said angrily.
Franky held out five fingers.
"Fifty ships? I might not be able to eat it." Aslan said directly.
Franky choked to death on his own breath.
Fifty ships, you are too bold to think about it!
The Holy Brighta Empire currently does not have fifty Frenr-class destroyers in its possession.
"Five ships, only five ships! Your Majesty," Franky said with an accent.
"Oh, five ships, that's not bad." Aslan nodded and said a few words to Duke Medea.
"All of them."
Franky nodded and began to introduce his main target this time-the St. John-class light cruiser.
"During the Third World War, in view of the growing strength of the Gonza Navy and Gonza's aggressive ambitions, the empire decided to build a new generation of cruisers. Its design was completely free from the restrictions of various naval armament treaties. In view of the actual combat experience in the Imperial Navy, the
The "class" is designed to increase the range and enhance anti-aircraft firepower to improve the overall combat effectiveness of the warship."
"Although this class of ship is a light cruiser, its standard displacement reaches nearly 10,000 tons, which is equivalent to or even exceeds the tonnage of many heavy cruisers, so it is called the heaviest light cruiser."
Aslan nodded, and this time Duke Medea followed suit, mainly because it was a bit big. The 10,000-ton freighter Weihai some time ago caused a sensation throughout the empire. Newspaper headlines for half a month were introducing this ship.
10,000-ton cargo ship.
Duke Medea also paid attention to it out of curiosity. When he was bored, he went to the dock of Weihai Port to see the Weihai-class freighter that was still under construction. He was really shocked by its size.
"It seems very powerful." Duke Medea muttered subconsciously.
Aslan couldn't help laughing.
"The St. John-class light cruiser is based on the previous modification of the Rooklin class - the St. Louis type, which further enhances survivability and anti-aircraft capabilities. It uses advanced independent waterproof compartments, so it has excellent protection against torpedoes.
Coupled with its powerful firepower, this class often participated in battles as a member of fast aircraft carrier formations. None of this class was sunk, and all of them were decommissioned until ten years ago." Tres saw that the Duke of Medea was also paying attention to his St. John.
Class light cruiser, the introduction is also more focused.
Looking at the data above, Aslan's lips twitched.
Crew: 1,255
Standard displacement:
Full load displacement:
Ship size:××
Armor protection: side main armor belt 83-127 mm; deck 51 mm; turret front armor 165 mm, top 76 mm, sides: 76 mm, rear 38 mm, seat 152 mm, conning tower 57-127 mm
Armament: 4 triple-mounted 152mm 47-caliber main guns; 6 twin-mounted 127mm/38-caliber high-level and flat dual-purpose guns; 2 quadruple-mounted and 2 twin-mounted 40mm anti-aircraft cannons, and 20 single-barreled 20mm anti-aircraft cannons.
Power: 4 Vickers boilers, 4 General Electric steam turbines, main engine output: 100,000 horsepower, four shafts and four propellers
Endurance: 8640 nautical miles/15 knots
Maximum speed: knots
The speed of a 10,000-ton cruiser was actually two knots faster than the Billy-class frigate, which made Aslan curse in his heart.
