The Krul people's later choice of main naval gun was different from that of the Daheng Empire. The Daheng Empire did not continue to develop the 350mm fifty-fold caliber naval gun, nor did it develop the 380mm
Instead of naval guns, we directly jumped over and directly developed 400 mm caliber naval guns.
Generally speaking, in the current comparison between the navies of the Daheng Empire and the Kingdom of Krul, the navy of the Daheng Empire still occupies a certain advantage. In terms of the size of its unified heavy-gun battleships and battlecruisers, it is ten times more than that of the Kingdom of Krul.
Multiple ships.
But at first glance, this advantage seems not small, but you have to know that the Daheng Empire Navy now has more than 50 main battleships and battlecruisers combined, and the Kingdom of Krul also has more than 40 ships.
The gap between the dozen or so capital ships is actually not as big as imagined. Once spread over the huge combat sea area, and considering that there is a certain gap in the tactical literacy of the naval officers of both sides, in addition, the Krul Kingdom Navy has
It maintains a large-scale mixed main gun battleship and armored cruiser.
Although the Krul Kingdom's navy is in a bit of trouble, it is impossible to say that the Daheng Empire's navy can gain an absolute advantage.
As for auxiliary ships such as cruisers and destroyers, the Daheng Empire Navy does not have as many auxiliary ships as the Krul Kingdom Navy. The two sides are actually evenly matched in terms of new auxiliary ships.
Mainly due to the mess of cruisers and destroyers built by the Kingdom of Krul before.
Looking at the naval competition between the Daheng and the Krul people in the past ten years, you will find that in the early days, the Krul Kingdom people had too many pre-dreadnought battleships of various types, and the Daheng Empire Navy could not afford them.
good.
As for now, the people of the Kingdom of Krul are really working hard on naval construction, and they also have a certain advantage as a latecomer. The industrial base is also awesome, and a large number of unified all-heavy artillery battleships have been built in a short period of time. This is another
It makes the Daheng Empire Navy feel a little uncomfortable.
These circumstances have also led to the fact that although the Daheng Empire Navy has some advantages against the Kingdom of Krul, the advantages are not enough to give the Daheng Empire Navy an absolute upper hand.
Otherwise, with the temperament of the Daheng people, the war would have started long ago!
However, this situation will not last forever, because such a large-scale naval expansion is a very heavy burden for both the Kingdom of Krul and the Daheng Empire.
The Daheng Empire, in order to reduce the pressure on the navy's military expenditures and to free up enough experienced naval officers and sailors, has basically included all old warships such as non-unified heavy artillery battleships and armored cruisers.
Reserve or incorporated into the training fleet.
Some old ones that were really useless were decommissioned directly. However, because of the war, it was not said that they would be decommissioned directly and then dismantled. Instead, they were transferred to reserve and moored at the dock for semi-storage.
Some battleships in relatively good condition, such as those with six main guns and barely capable of unified fire control and salvo fire, were used as training ships.
The Daheng Navy did this because it was temporarily under little pressure, especially since the Southern War was over, and the navy could temporarily rest and recuperate, so it could temporarily mothball some of its old warships or convert them into training ships.
As for the Krul Kingdom Navy, they are still at war. Opposite the Kekel Empire Navy, the Garfia Empire Navy, and the Oran Kingdom Navy, although individually they are not as good as the Krul Kingdom Navy, the three of them combined are also
Can gather more than thirty battleships.
The navy of the Kingdom of Krul must not only protect maritime transportation, but also attack and blockade hostile countries' maritime transportation. No matter how many warships there are, it will not be enough.
Therefore, their actual pressure is even greater. Even if some old warships are useless and cannot participate in the decisive battle of the main fleet, they can still be used for escort.
In the long run, if the war continues, the Krul Kingdom itself will probably be dragged down.
Not military, but economic.
As for the Daheng Empire, after the Southern War ended, it did not directly intervene in the war in the Western Continent as everyone feared. Instead, it turned around and became a businessman...
The Daheng people began to sell various arms and even food and other materials again.
\b Take advantage of others to make a profit first while others are still fighting. This is the current thinking of Daheng people. As for the outcome of the war in the Western Continent, as long as no one of them is swept away and becomes the only one, then Daheng
The empire doesn't matter.
In other words, the Daheng Empire has no intention of directly intervening until the war between the two sides changes drastically, and until one of the parties appears to be in an obvious collapse situation.
However, in this process, the Daheng Empire can make money through continuous trade and affect the balance of power between the two sides.
As a result, the various countries participating in the world war, especially the Kingdom of Krul, had a somewhat unbalanced mentality.
Because Daheng people not only make money by selling arms, but also sell them at both ends...
For this reason, the Daheng people hold high the slogan of so-called free trade. As for the agreement reached with the Krul Kingdom three years ago that the Daheng people will not interfere in the war on the Western Continent and will not sell military weapons to the Kokell Empire, it has long been
He was left behind by the people of Daheng.
The Orissa Empire is already finished. The people of Daheng have finished their work first, so they naturally want to do business. Who told you that everyone in Kru is weak in the war? After three years of fighting, there is still no winner.
The Krul Kingdom is very aggrieved, but it does not dare to push the Daheng people too far, and does not dare to directly block, intercept and block the Daheng Empire's international trade, even though he clearly knows that the Daheng people's current ships are equipped with
They also didn’t dare to get their hands on some ordnance, food and other strategic supplies.
If the people of Krul Kingdom dare to take action, the Daheng Navy will probably go directly to Kingdom Island...
Therefore, they could only turn a blind eye, and in turn purchase a large amount of strategic materials from the Daheng Empire.
Anyway, the people of Daheng sell supplies at both ends, but the Kyle Empire can come to buy it, and the Krul Kingdom can also come to buy it.
Once sold like this, a large amount of wealth began to be quickly transferred to the Daheng Empire.
The gold reserves are measured in hundreds of tons, and they are brought over to the Daheng Empire ship by ship, including more than 800 tons of gold reserves in the Kekel Empire and more than 600 tons in the Kingdom of Krul.
of gold reserves.
This is a time of war. In international trade, gold is used as payment, or goods are simply exchanged for goods. Daheng people do not accept banknotes from other warring countries.
This also resulted in a large amount of gold flowing into the Daheng Empire.
When the time entered the twenty-fourth year of Qian Sheng, the gold reserves in the Daheng Empire had reached 8,000 tons, and this figure was still increasing rapidly.
It is said that the Orr Kingdom has recently transferred a batch of their gold reserves to the Daheng Empire for storage. This big country is really rich. Just by transporting it here for storage, more than 300 tons of gold are used for international trade settlement.
