The Invincible-class battlecruiser was the first batch of battlecruisers built in the UK. In 1905, under the leadership of the British First Sea Lord Fisher, the British Naval Ship Design Committee proposed a battleship design plan for the "ideal cruiser".
Combining the firepower of the dreadnought battleship with the speed of the cruiser, it is used as a strategic maneuvering force to complete rapid deployment and strategic support tasks of a squadron stationed abroad.
This new type of warship that combines firepower and speed can be used as a flagship to lead one's own reconnaissance detachment to break through the enemy's fine barrier composed of light ships and conduct forcible reconnaissance; it can serve as the forward and rearguard of the battle fleet, and cover its flanks, to expand the results or expand the results if necessary.
It is cover and support; leading one's own cruiser fleet to capture and destroy enemy stragglers or cruising ships sporadically.
Battlecruisers are not used in decisive battles with battleships as the main force of the fleet, but are used to attack various types of cruisers. They are highly functional battleships with the characteristics of large-caliber main guns, high speed, and light armor. In order to
In pursuit of speed advantages, battlecruisers deliberately lowered their protective capabilities, resulting in fatal weaknesses.
The design requirements for the Invincible-class battlecruiser are to have a displacement of more than 17,000 tons, to install eight 12-inch main guns (two fewer than the Dreadnought battleship), a maximum speed of 25 knots (four knots faster than the Dreadnought), and armor protection.
Slightly thicker than an armored cruiser, but not as thick as the Dreadnought battleship.
Chen Hao has been struggling for a long time on how to develop the navy. The dreadnoughts that are about to enter the world naval stage are the most powerful battleships of this era, but as players we all know that future battleships will become a living target for aircraft carriers. If multiple Dreadnoughts are purchased this time
Battleships, if there is no money when the navy wants to transform in the future, its glory in the game will only be short-lived.
There are not many missions like Captain Gent's treasure. In his memory, this treasure is the only one that has such a big harvest according to historical facts. It will be good to make money in the future to cover expenses. Although he hopes that he can compete with the British right away.
Navy, but Chen Hao still restrained the urge to buy dreadnoughts like crazy and decided to develop battlecruisers first in the next ten years.
Battlecruisers have as fierce firepower as battleships and higher speeds. The disadvantage is that the armor is too thin. In the future, with the development of technology, battleships will be eliminated when their speed increases. After careful analysis, Chen Hao felt that as a player, he would never want to compete with the British Empire Navy.
There is no need to develop fleets like the European powers.
Britain is far away in Europe, and the chance of their main fleet heading to Asia to start a war with the player's fleet is not high. Instead, it is possible for the Japanese navy. In the future, Chen Hao hopes to change more plots, and most of them are plots related to Japan, which can
It will be easy to change the plot by defeating the not-so-powerful Japanese NPC Navy.
After the dreadnoughts appeared in the navy, the battleships of the Japanese Navy could only be regarded as second-rate, and the Invincible-class battlecruisers were enough to deal with the Japanese flagship.
Chen Hao asked Silva to look for the blueprints of the Invincible-class battlecruiser. In his memory, after Michel Rothschild obtained Captain Gent's treasure, a mission was triggered when he purchased the warship. The mission clues were related to the new battleships, and the British
The Ship Committee designed the Invincible-class battlecruiser, but failed to pass the budget. After taking the initiative to order two ships, Michel received the original drawings and some supporting technologies as a reward.
What Chen Hao wants most is the blueprint of the dreadnought, but as the latest British battleship, the dreadnought will definitely not let the blueprint fall into the hands of players in the early stage of the game. In addition to having thinner armor, the Invincible-class battlecruiser uses
Steam turbines and other technologies are the same as the dreadnoughts
After obtaining the core technology and finding ways to recruit some talents from domestic shipyards, the shipyards can start trying to build warships. After Silva agreed, Chen Hao immediately signed an agreement with him, and then he obtained the battlecruiser technical drawings
The task process was briefly told to Silva.
Chen Hao knew every detail of this mission, but he did not tell Silva everything, only the first two steps. If he told the whole process like a prophet, Silva would probably regard him as a monster. The worst luck.
It was Michel Rothschild who was far away in the UK. Chen Hao not only robbed him of the treasure that should have belonged to him, but now he also robbed him of the opportunity to obtain advanced technical drawings.
Including the remuneration paid to Silva, the construction cost of the dreadnought is about 3 million pounds, and the Invincible-class battlecruiser is 2 million pounds. The three warships Chen Hao will cost 7 million pounds. If you include the large-scale dock construction drawings and battlecruisers
Drawings, eight million pounds were spent like this.
Chen Hao felt that the money was well spent. Currently, the British dreadnoughts and invincible-class battlecruisers have not yet entered service, so he had the opportunity to order warships and obtain drawings. By the time these two warships are put into service, the British construction technology has taken shape.
, I am afraid that the two types of warships will be regarded as military secrets.
Chen Hao sent Silva away, then went to find Yang Du who was busy and told him that he was about to spend 8 million pounds to buy a warship. Hearing this astronomical figure, Yang Du almost went crazy. Eight million pounds could do it.
What a big deal! Now three warships have been spent. He blushed and argued with Chen Hao, but saw that Chen Hao was too determined and had to give up.
After Chen Hao walked out of Yang Du's office, he received a system prompt: "Player Chen Baxian, due to differences in development concepts between you and your subordinate Yang Du, Yang Du's loyalty has dropped by 1 point. Please be careful."
Chen Hao couldn't help but smile bitterly. The system will increase loyalty when players have a tacit understanding with their subordinates, and will also decrease loyalty when disagreements arise. Therefore, it is not surprising that Yang Du's loyalty has declined. But he is not worried about this problem. Captain Jinte's
The value of the treasure after processing was over 30 million pounds. Later, he invested more money in the government affairs that Yang Du cared about, and Yang Du's loyalty increased.
Chen Hao is not planning to invest money in Cam Ranh Bay to develop the economy. Cam Ranh Bay can be used as a military port. He has no plans to expand the size of Cam Ranh Bay for the time being. After this period of immigration, Cam Ranh Bay already has more than 20,000 Chinese NPC civilians, so there is no need
More will be added. After establishing a base in the southwest, he will begin to invest heavily in government affairs, such as developing industry and commerce, paying attention to education, etc.
After Chen Hao left Yang Du's office and prepared to log off, he made an appointment with Ban Qianqian to log off on time today and then accompany her to buy clothes. On the way to his own house, an NPC Jingwei came to him and paid tribute.
He said politely: "Sir, a strange person said that he has something important and wants to see you."
Chen Hao is very prestigious in Cam Ranh Bay. When other players meet him, they will greet him politely and will not meet him formally if nothing happens. He looked at the time and found that there were still about twenty minutes before the agreed time, so
Return to the headquarters and ask Jingwei to bring the player over.
When he raised his head and saw the player coming in, Chen Hao was very surprised because the player's dress was incompatible with the game. Almost all the players in Cam Ranh Bay were wearing formal military uniforms, and no one wearing a suit had ever appeared before. At this time, Chen Hao appeared
The player in front of me is wearing a neat suit and tie, looking serious and old-fashioned.
There was an obviously arrogant look on the visitor's face, and he said condescendingly: "Are you Chen Baxian?"
Chen Hao felt a little unhappy and said calmly: "This is the Cam Ranh Bay headquarters office. It seems that no one else but me can sit here."
"Ha! It's just a game! It seems that you are doing well in the game, but the game is just a game after all, and it cannot be on the big stage. Let me introduce myself, I am Li Lei, deputy section chief of the Points Section of the Game Points Administration. I am here to help you.
Convert game currency into game points. After converting into game points, you can sell the points to the administration at a price of ten yuan per point, or donate them to the country for free. Of course, if you donate for free, you will actually
You will get some honors, which is much better than being the boss in this virtual world."
Chen Hao's face suddenly became very gloomy, and a ball of fire arose in his heart. He was not so angry because the bullshit deputy section chief in front of him was rude. He had future memories and knew that in the first ten years of the game's operation, a lot of passionate people
Players donated a lot of game points for free to this bullshit administration. As a result, a huge scandal was exposed ten years later. The administration secretly sold the points donated by players to foreigners for profit.
Some players are only average in the game, but they have made plans for themselves, and they have to exchange a certain amount of game currency into points for free donations every week or every month. After the scandal in the tenth year of the game is exposed, these players will
Finding that he had become the number one SB in the world, all the points he saved in exchange for game currency turned into the mansions, luxury cars and beauties of the administration staff.
Chen Hao unfortunately became one of the top SBs in the world. From the beginning of the game, he stipulated that he should exchange one-fifth of the game coins obtained in the game into points for donation every month. After the scandal of the management board was exposed,
, he was so angry that he smashed the virtual optical brain that he had worked hard to save money to buy.
Chen Hao was so angry at the time, not because he was reluctant to donate game coins, but because he felt that his passion had been fooled. Because of this memory, he became very successful in the game, and after receiving a large number of game coins, he started to
I haven’t redeemed any points, let alone donated them to feed the dogs.
Chen Hao didn't want to feed the dog, but the dog came all the way to Cam Ranh Bay with its tail raised and pulling. Chen Hao would not be polite to such a dog. He said slowly: "I made hundreds of dollars this time."
Ten thousand pounds of game currency should be converted into a lot of game points! Forget it if you donate, after all, I am also a poor person..."
Before Chen Hao finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Lei. He said with a serious face: "Young man, you are still young. You should establish a correct outlook on life and values. It is enough for a person to have food and clothing in this world. Exchange the game currency for rmb
According to the proportion, if you exchange tens of thousands of pounds, it will be enough for you to have enough food and clothing. Wouldn’t it be great to donate the remaining money to do things that benefit the people of the country?” To be continued.)
