Thanks to the alliance leader who is full of flowers but no sight of blood, thanks to three friends chen58752056, kisushi, and Borriello for their monthly votes for encouragement, thanks to the sword in the chest, it is really difficult to name something, two friends for their rewards, Yutou worked hard to code the word.
The H-class destroyer is an improved version of the G-class destroyer. A total of 20 ships were built during World War I, all of which were used to equip the British Navy.
The world war was raging, and the British also needed warships. Gary appeared in front of Qin Zhiyuan at this time. Probably Qin Zhiyuan's identity as the leader of the group began to show his power. Otherwise, the British would never sell the ship to
Qin Zhiyuan.
Yes, just sell it.
Even if Qin Zhiyuan is the grand leader of the Knights Templar, the British will not give him half a penny cheaper, and will still demand the required money.
This is already not easy. For Qin Zhiyuan, the status of grand leader is a stepping stone. With this status, Qin Zhiyuan at least has the qualifications to obtain some scarce supplies. This is the most important thing.
It's like small businessmen in another time and space doing business with those big businessmen. Sometimes they have to do it even if they lose money. Why do they need to be qualified as a supplier?
This is especially true in international affairs. Although trade barriers have not yet reached the peak of the Cold War stage, there are already signs of trade barriers. Just like Huang Bohan, as the 14th richest man in the world, Huang Bohan has a lot of money.
But if you can't buy anything, people won't care about you at all.
Okay, I want these four warships, and I will continue to order them, okay? Qin Zhiyuan was eager, as if these four warships were parked in front of Qin Zhiyuan.
Qin Zhiyuan knows the law of historical development. The navy is an indispensable part of a country. In the future, the navy's status will be as important as the air force, while the status of the army will be greatly reduced. If you want to build a strong country, you must start now.
We must pay attention to naval construction.
Of course Portsmouth never refuses its customers. Gary promised.
This is quite correct. If Qin Zhiyuan was not the grand leader of the Knights Templar, Qin Zhiyuan would not have become Portsmouth's client at all, at least not at this stage, so there would be no need to refuse or not refuse.
So, I want a destroyer with a larger tonnage, preferably equipped with a 120 mm caliber naval gun, a quadruple torpedo launcher, a submarine detector and a radio, and capable of running at a speed of 30 knots. Qin
Zhiyuan made a request.
A destroyer is actually an enlarged torpedo boat. Therefore, Qin Zhiyuan requested to be equipped with more torpedo tubes.
Submarine detectors are active sonar. Canadians started researching them last year, and the real thing just appeared this year. Before that, if you wanted to detect submarines, you could only use passive sonar, which is called a hydrophone.
The requirements put forward by Qin Zhiyuan are already close to the performance standards of later destroyers. A destroyer built according to this standard will still not fall behind even twenty years later during World War II. At the very least, it can undertake certain logistics work.
In this case, the tonnage will indeed increase a lot, probably to more than a thousand tons, and the speed will be difficult to reach 30 knots. Moreover, it will need to be redesigned, which is a troublesome thing. Gary finally showed a sad face.
Of course, this could also be Gary's pretense to increase the price. The British are very cunning, especially when they face soldiers who are always known for their honesty and honesty.
It doesn't matter. I'll draw a picture for you later and you can just fill in the details. Qin Zhiyuan is confident.
Even if he was an agent in his previous life, Qin Zhiyuan also has his own hobbies. Fortunately, various ship models and aircraft models are Qin Zhiyuan's hobbies. It can be said that as long as there are sufficient manpower and resources, Qin Zhiyuan can move the Liaoning ship
In this era, of course, it must be based on the premise of ignoring combat effectiveness.
Before World War I, aircraft had appeared and were used in war. The emergence of aircraft changed the shape of war, and together with submarines, made war more three-dimensional and more complex.
Before World War I, the British converted three ferries into warships that could carry seaplanes. They were called seaplane carriers. This was the earliest prototype of an aircraft carrier.
Although the prototype of the aircraft carrier has appeared, due to the limited combat capabilities of the aircraft, it has not attracted the attention of various countries. Giant ships and artillery are still the dominant ideas in building a navy.
Qin Zhiyuan has no obligation to correct the course of world naval construction that has gone astray. Qin Zhiyuan only regrets that it has not gone further.
Even if Qin Zhiyuan takes out the design drawings, they will not be very good as long as they are easy to use. Even the nearly vertical bow shape of the current warship is not planned to be changed.
If it’s ugly, make it ugly. Qin Zhiyuan wants to wait until the motherland has the ability to build ships before taking out the design drawings of new warships. Because of his participation, Qin Zhiyuan believes that China will not have to wait until the 21st century to possess aircraft carriers. In order to
For this ideal, Qin Zhiyuan will do whatever it takes.
General Qin, you can also design warships. Gary's face was full of disbelief.
A little bit, you know the meaning of my name. Qin Zhiyuan means a lot.
Yes, I do know some, but it is produced in Hamburg. As a ship salesperson, Gary is familiar with warships all over the world.
Yes, those two warships were made in Hamburg, so they left me with unpleasant memories. I don’t know what kind of memory the warships made in Portsmouth will leave me. Qin Zhiyuan is looking forward to it.
It must be wonderful, please rest assured. Gary gives reassurance.
Qin Zhiyuan raised his glass to show that although he was drinking coffee, it did not prevent him from conveying friendship.
Do you produce submarines? Qin Zhiyuan is looking further ahead.
Again, there will definitely be a war between China and Japan, and because of Qin Zhiyuan's existence, the navy may not be able to fight back by then.
The current Japanese Navy has considerable strength. It can be said that it has surpassed the Republic of China Navy with only a few warships by countless times. Qin Zhiyuan wants to build a navy from scratch, and the role of submarines cannot be ignored.
The German approach of launching unrestricted submarine warfare is correct in some respects. If the ugliness of the United States did not exist, the British might not be able to hold on. Since there are successful examples in the past, Qin Zhiyuan must learn from the successful experience.
For Qin Zhiyuan, developing a submarine force is actually more important than developing a surface ship force, and it is also a more cost-effective approach.
If you need it, we can produce it at any time. We can produce the same submarine as the Germans. The performance is not inferior to theirs, and it is even better in terms of power. We can definitely meet your requirements. Gary is very enthusiastic and energetic.
It looks even taller than when promoting destroyers.
This is also understandable. Although the British have the technology to manufacture submarines, the Royal Navy does not have much demand for submarines, so the Portsmouth shipyard is more willing to receive some orders for submarines to maintain this production capacity.
The Germans built submarines because surface ships could not defeat the British. If the Germans could compete with the British in the field of surface ships, the Germans would not attach so much importance to submarines.
If you can live an upright life, no one would be willing to hide under the sea and pretend to be a rat.
