Of course, Chen Shaokuan's speech was more than that. After announcing this sensational and explosive news, he said earnestly to hundreds of new and old friends with his usual serious and honest attitude: "The Chinese nation has been peace-loving since ancient times. Even though it is as strong as the Han and Tang Dynasties, it has never counterattacked the invasion, and has never bullied the weak. It has also invented the brilliant culture and spread it around the world, thus driving the civilized process around the world..."

"...The Chinese people have enough intelligence and wisdom to create advanced science and technology, and to create the highest-level modern weapons and equipment. They do not provoke wars, but to make the happiness and well-being of 450 million compatriots and to protect the hard-won peace. Of course, in the face of the aggressive war imposed on us, they must not avoid it and fight back with a determination without regrets!"

Balabara made a long speech, with both reasonable and emotional content, but except for a few Chinese media, most foreigners had no idea about listening, and their heads were full of shocking bombs he threw out when he came up!

Japan has built a larger battleship! It has a displacement of 70,000 tons. Is it a joke?

When Chen Shaokuan finished his speech and entered the questioning session, a reporter from Reuters couldn't wait to ask questions. Chen Shaokuan answered firmly: "Our information will never be wrong. If you are interested in verifying it, you just need to go to the Japanese Wu Haijun Shipyard to measure the size of its fully enclosed dock to know the authenticity."

How to measure this thing? The Japanese are not stupid. Since they secretly build the world's largest battleship, they will naturally try their best to cover it and not let others know.

Of course, Reuters' reporters are not fools, so they immediately reacted and asked Chen Shaokuan about the news received by China. Chen Shaokuan said seriously: "According to the news from some peace-loving people in Japan, the ship used by its newly built warships is more than 300 meters long and forty or fifty meters wide! There are also enclosures that completely block the view. As the Japanese are accustomed to engaging in conspiracies and tricks, they say one thing and do another, and there are many suspicious things. And when his "Kiyi-class" warship was in service the day before yesterday, Japanese naval officials inadvertently revealed that this is not their most powerful warship. You can testify!"

"Japanese people who love peace"..., the audience couldn't help but curl their lips. Commander Chen is really good at joking. Does that thing exist? Even if there is one, I'm afraid I won't disclose such important information to the Chinese people casually? This excuse is really bad.

But this is not important, what is important is the evidence. In order to cover up the fact that the Pacific World War was defeated, the Japanese did not hesitate to defeat the world and crossed the Navy's agreement's upper limit of the 35,000 tons standard. They vaguely implied to the public that the standard displacement of the "Kiyi-class" battleship was around 45,000 tons, and the full load could even reach more than 50,000 tons! With three triple-mounted 410mm main guns, they can be called the strongest battleship in the world!

The relevant information was also placed on the desks of various powers early, which directly led to the establishment of the new naval agreement in June, when the United Kingdom, the United States and France agreed that the upper limit of the standard displacement of the main warships would be directly increased to 45,000 tons!

The British, who were dragged to death by the economy, would never want to start a new naval competition. Unfortunately, the beautiful abacus could not be made, and the contract signed just before the front was turned around and poked a big hole in the Japanese! Chen Shaokuan could not lie. Even if he exaggeratedly, with the Japanese's conduct, the secretly built warships would never be smaller than the "Kiyi class". So even if there were no 70,000 tons, the minimum of more than 50,000 tons was almost expected.

The boat platform is more than 300 meters long! The professional journalists and military officers stationed in China who have put a lot of effort into this quickly calculated the results, and their faces changed drastically, and they had a premonition that a storm was coming!

A reporter from the New York Times jumped up and asked: "So to deal with Japan's threats and challenges, what size will the Chinese navy build new warships be?"

Chen Shaokuan smiled slightly and said, "This is a military secret and it is not convenient to disclose it, but our design chief believes that it should be enough to cope with the challenges of the Japanese ship!"

This sentence is enough. The reporters wrote in their shorthand: "The standard tonnage of newly built warships in China's Navy is no less than 50,000 tons, and the maximum displacement may exceed 60,000..."

These days, the news media like to use sensational words and exaggerated titles to attract attention. Some irresponsible plans have already made plans, so they use "The Chinese will build 60,000 tons of giant ships" as the title. It is guaranteed to win great attention. Coupled with the news from the Japanese, it is enough for them to create a series of explosive news!

News spread all over the world through radio waves. A few hours later, all the relevant information gathered on the tables of military leaders of the great powers.

The Americans have long expressed concern about the growing naval power between China and Japan, and the navy has used this as an excuse to apply for more than once to increase funds to continue to build a large number of powerful warships. With this endorsement, the budget for the "Iowa-class battleship" that had been determined was quickly passed without any obstacles.

In contrast, the British were sad. In terms of military terms, they expected aircraft carriers to become the main attack weapon, but they were not sure that there was no need for battleships. Even in order to maintain the dignity of the Sun-Down Empire, they could not lose their chains. However, the five "George V-class" battleships that had already started construction almost exhausted all their budgets, and their various indicators were obviously behind!

The Japanese and Chinese have started to build big guys of more than 50,000 tons. How could the British not have one? Churchill advocated on various occasions that the British Empire must build the world's strongest battleships, and must not let those stupid Eastern monkeys surpass the front! The "Lion"-class battleships that have been determined must be changed!

The "Lion"-class battleship that has issued a bid has a standard displacement of 40,000 tons, three 3-component 406mm main guns, 120,000 horsepower and a maximum speed of 30 knots, and a powerful protection of 16-inch vertical armor. It seems reasonable in all aspects, but this data is one of the "Tarshan-class" battleships that China has already shown on the battlefield, and it is not as good as the two big guys that Japan has launched!

Now, it’s better, it’s already out of date before construction has started. How can such a tragic thing happen again and again?! Change! It must be changed!

But the British Empire was not so efficient in doing things, and it was impossible to make a decision to change things that had been confirmed. What's more important is that in the global strategy that has begun to shrink, the original force suppression to political coordination, and the Far East is dead, and the three countries of China, the United States and Japan are mixed in the Pacific, so Britain must first stare at the eagle at the doorstep!

Therefore, after a series of quarrels, the bidding that has been underway has continued, but the upgraded design that has been carried out immediately has been put on the agenda in view of the current situation.

The French were very calm. They seemed to feel that Europe was so dense that it was about to break out. In addition to digging down the air defenses under major cities such as Paris and desperately completing the "Magino Line of Defense", they pretended to be invisible like an ostrich. The "Riceliu-class" battleship that had already started construction was slowly rushing. I don't know when it will be completed. When new competition came out, I just randomly threw out a decent "Alsace-class" plan to deal with the new agreement standards. As for when to start construction? God knows!

In contrast, the enthusiasm of Germans is unprecedentedly high, and even a bit too high!

The Army Corporal His Excellency Hitler called the navy boss Raidel very angrily, and spitted his head and threw it into chaos. His roar made people within a hundred meters inside and outside the office silently.

"Erich, you disappointed me so much! I handed over the extremely important navy to you to prevent being messed up by those idiots! But look, how have you done in the past few years? Well? There is no representative that the Great Germany can respect the world, and even the annoying Japanese and cunning Chinese in the Far East are surpassing us. What is this situation? Have you really thought about the seriousness carefully?!"

Commander Erich Redell was sprayed with a wide desk, and his face was squirting, but who made him respect the head of state very much? Moreover, the cooperation between the two sides has been very good in recent years. He could only endure it, but he didn't think he was wrong.

Speaking of which, there are some reasons for the beard to get angry, but this is not the mistake of Commander Redel. After Germany's last defeat, the shipbuilding industry was stripped away by several big gangsters. The original wealth was almost done. He almost started from scratch. He finally recovered a little productivity in a few years. Thanks to the Chinese's many large orders, he has the ability to start construction of two "Bismar-class" battleships and a "Zepplin-class" aircraft carrier at the same time. U-boats and more than a dozen are being built at the same time, and the speed is already very fast.

It was expected that the Japanese could make trouble. The only thing that was not accurate was the Chinese. God knows where they got such powerful technology. They secretly managed to build a 40,000-ton battleship. Now that 50,000 or 60,000 tons are started, it is definitely not German technology, or even from any British, American and French country. Perhaps it is still the mysterious "GD laboratory" that is making trouble, but does that have a mark with him Commander Redel?

Nothing!

The head of state is just because he feels that he can't get over the face. The root cause is probably the original "Bismar-class" main gun that fell from the caliber of the original "Bismar-class" and now, there is another problem of tonnage.

With a light cough, Raidel said in a slight way while Hitler's lips were foaming and gasping, "Dear Head, we have actually already had a powerful and leading shipbuilding plan. We are just worried that it will be too exciting and the British have not started. Of course, we need to confirm it first through your personal confirmation. In fact, if the Navy Shipyard was not able to free up the venue and manpower, we could all be ready to start construction."

"Is that true?" Hitler's eyes lit up, and he immediately sat back with his butt like a change of personal touch, staring at Redell with his hands on his desk, "Let's say it, this matter is very important!"

Erich Redel spread out the sketch rolled into a ball for him: "Please see, these are the design parameters of our newly determined 'Hindenburg-class' warship!" (To be continued...)
