Chapter 155 of the Fisherman’s Benefits—

"I don't believe you will build it so quickly. Because my warship has high requirements. I'm afraid you don't have that much ability." Zhang Yunfei said deliberately to swear Fisher's appetite.

Fisher said disdainfully: "How is this possible? If the warships that the British Empire cannot build, no country in the world can build them!"

Zhang Yunfei smiled and said, "|It may not be possible! What I want to build is a large-tonnage battlecruiser like the Smith that is currently being built in Germany. Can you build it?"

When Zhang Yunfei mentioned the battleship Smith that Germany was building, Lord Fisher felt embarrassed. Because the new battleship that Britain was secretly building was almost the same as the battleship of the German battleship Smith that was reaching the bottleneck of the design requirements of the power system method.

If you want to unify the caliber of the main gun, the tonnage will increase significantly. The steam turbine unit in the UK is in progress, and if you are barely built, you can't even catch up with the current 18 battleships. Then, you will be threatened by the enemy's high torpedo boats during naval battles. This is undoubtedly a suicide.

Therefore, both Britain and Germany were tempted by Zhang Yunfei's new theory, but they were temporarily unable to achieve it. Both countries boasted that they would build powerful new warships, but they were just a single increase in the degree of warships.

Although there are some regrets, all these problems will be solved with the continuous improvement of the steam power systems of the two countries. Judging from the current research on the vigorous promotion of the power systems of the two countries, Zhang Yunfei is sure that the early appearance of the Fearless Class battleship is already a foregone conclusion.

"Haha. Their so-called battlecruiser is all bluffing. In fact, they are still studying it. The construction of battlecruiser is just a name. In fact, it is just a little faster than the heavy cruiser we built for you! Of course we can fully undertake the construction!" Fisher said confidently.

Zhang Yunfei pretended to be considered and said, "That's it! But what I want to build is a large-tonnage battleship. It costs at least 20,000 tons!"

The reason why Zhang Yunfei asked so was because he knew that Britain had only five docks of 20,000 tons or above. He was building warships for the country and other European countries. In this way, the time for Britain to build warships for Zhang Yunfei would be delayed. The time for building six main battleships would be queuing until the advent of the dreadnought era.

Since building a ship is not a one-time fee, Zhang Yunfei delayed like this. When it was his turn to build a ship, he could directly switch to a new type of dreadnought.

In this case, the British will not be guilty of being guilty, you see, I have placed an order for you, right? And Zhang Yunfei can reduce the losses to the lowest level. The warship is like a modern sub-product. The innovation is too fast.

Especially in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, until World War I, the innovation of warships was basically when you built it, and when you were built it, it was even more behind.

This can explain why the overall performance of the British naval warships are always behind the warships built for other countries. The ships in service are behind the warships being built, and the warships that are started to be built are also behind the theoretically established warships.

This is a social progress and the inevitable generational difference problem of technological upgrading is probably the only future person in this world whose soul travels through Zhang Yunfei can grasp this revolutionary change and maintain a leading position.

Lord Fisher asked in confusion: "Why do you need to build a 20,000-ton class? In the Far East, there is no maritime power that can threaten you, except for the Hong Kong fleet of the British Empire?"

Zhang Yunfei thought to himself: "Can you tell me the old real idea? You can't say that the warship I bought will soon turn into scrap iron!"

So he smiled and said, "You don't have to worry. I just want to build a deterrent to the Russians. If the Russians want to truly defeat me, they must rebuild the Far East Fleet as soon as possible. If I build a few more battleships of 20,000 tons, they will definitely build larger tonnage battleships to compete with my 20,000 tons battleships, even the advanced shipbuilding ability of the British Empire, will take three years to build. Russia's shipbuilding ability is very low. It will not take four or five years to build it. In this case, even if Russia wants to fight me, it will take a long time to wait. I am ready."

Zhang Yunfei said it very clearly. Build large ships to drag the Russians into the water and an arms race. With the Russians' shipbuilding ability, if you want to build a two-ton battleship, you may not be able to build it without four or five years. Because Russia's shipbuilding ability is all learned from France.

In addition, Zhang Yunfei is even more ruthless. He knows that Russia is suffering from financial difficulties. If he comes to a naval arms race with Zhang Yunfei, the current economy will be even worse.

Today, Russia is home to: all the proletarian Bolshevik revolutionary parties who oppress the emperor and oppression. It is said that they have penetrated into the army. The Russian government and the Tsar are already worried about the huge pressure. Now, Zhang Yunfei's stick is beaten to death.

Russia lacks the capital to confront Zhang Yunfei both politically and economically. In addition to having a huge army that is strong and powerful, it can also be used to be powerful for a while.

So that's it. Lord Fisher nodded and said, "Since that's the case, I have nothing to say! Let me tell you roughly what you ask for! I'll give it to the warship experts in the Admiralty to design."

Zhang Yunfei said: "I require a total tonnage of about 20,000 tons, 5 double-connected 4-fold diameter 1-meter main gun. Do not have a second-level main gun gun/10mm near-proof gun. Comprehensive heavy armor protection. How can the 21st quarter be built?"

Zhang Yunfei is talking about the UK

The data of the Fearless Class battleship launched within a few years was because the warships of this warship all over the world were outdated overnight and became former dreadnoughts. Therefore, the memory was very clear.

But it was precisely this data that made Fisher stunned. Because this data was the data of a new battleship that their Admiralty quietly conducted a trial and built.

People all over the world feel that Britain's first dreadnought was launched until it was completed. It took only a year. In fact, it was deliberately concealed by Britain to show off its naval force and its powerful shipbuilding industry.

Britain had long begun to argue and design the secret of this new type of battleship cruise. The person who secretly presided over the work was Lord Fisher. They deceived his naval colleagues all over the world, including many of their own naval officers, who were not aware of it.

"This...how did you know?" Lord Schell asked. Realizing that it was inappropriate. He saw Zhang Yunfei puzzled. So he explained again: "I mean how did you think of these war data?"

Zhang Yunfei's expression was as calm as he was. He had no intention of being nervous at all.

"My naval chief engineer, Mr. Anderson, was once a warship designer at your country's Armstrong Shipyard. These are what he told me. We are also studying them. But these theoretical data require powerful steam engines to complete steam engines without high power output. Everything is empty talk," Zhang Yunfei explained.

Lord Fisher was relieved after hearing this. As long as it wasn't leaking, it didn't matter. He had also heard of Anderson. He had a conflict with current British designer Philip Watts. If he proposed such a design with Zhang Yunfei, it would be clear.

"So that's it! It's very consistent. Our Admiralty is also experimenting with a new type of battleship. Let me tell you that the data parameters are similar to the power of our current steam turbine unit. It cannot reach the required 21 sections. If it is barely built, it will be less than 18 degrees. In this way, the battleship without the protection of the second-level main gun is easily attacked by the enemy's small ships." Fisher said.

"It turns out that you are starting to build the Fearless Battleships now. It seems that I'm right. It happened that I was worried about building some scrap iron battleships. Now it's fine. As long as you follow your shipless, you don't have to worry!"

When Zhang Yunfei thought of this, he immediately said to Lord Fisher: "That's better! Let's do it! We have no experience. Although the current aviation cannot be improved, this kind of large ship will be built for several years. At that time, I believe your country's power problem will be solved. The battleships I customized will be built according to the design plan of the country's new battleship. As long as it is built at the same level as your country's new battleships!"

What a cruel trick!

Fisher was speechless about Zhang Yunfei's rogue way! But he could not refute his proposal. In this way, not only did he fail to waste Zhang Yunfei's money and time, but instead allowed Zhang Yunfei to board the British naval chariot.

As the saying goes: I will lose my wife and my army!

Fortunately, Zhang Yunfei did not have a close intention to the British navy. Otherwise, Britain would have to deal with Germany in Europe and Zhang Yunfei in Asia. She was also guarding against the US's peeping. It would make Britain exhausted!

"Since the Duke wants to take the pace of our ship, we should show our sincerity. Just build ten or twenty ships!" Lord Fisher said with a big mouth.

"What? Are you robbing! Why are there more and more?" Zhang Yunfei suddenly widened his eyes and asked loudly.

Is it a big deal. Build ten or twenty ships? Then I’ve returned it? Even if I keep building it until the first battle, it won’t be completed!

Lord Fisher curled his lips and said, "You must stare at me. You know. When we build warships, we also bring you one. This means that you will have a share of all the advanced warships of our British Empire! It is equivalent to taking on the chariot of the Great Empire. This is not the glory that any country has! Do you need to think clearly?"

Shrimp?

Will there be a share?

This is a good thing!

"Yes. But I have a condition! I only build two battleships per level in your country. If I don't do it if there are too many battleships? You know, I don't use so many battleships at all! In addition, I have to send someone to follow up on the shipbuilding process and have the right to change our shipbuilding plan. Because battleships suitable for the British Empire do not mean that they will be suitable for us!" Zhang Yunfei said.

"Of course. There is no problem with this!" Fisher nodded and promised.

Today is National Day. A group of beggars standing in the alley. Everyone is blessing themselves. Some want to become rich, some want to marry the rich daughter, and some wish their wives to have a child. Among the group of people, there is a beggar named Yangshang. He murmured to pray to the sky.

"Hey!" a book friend came over and asked him. "What are you praying for yourself?"

Cruiser: "I wish I was the only beggar on Qidian Chinese website."

Dang!

The cruiser glanced at his rice bowl and asked, "What is this?"

Book friend: "This is called Qidian Coin! You are so ambitious and reward you!"

The cruiser replied weakly: "Oh!"

Dang!

Book friends: "This is called RMB! Use it to buy candy!"

Cruiser: "Oh!"

Book friend: "Do you still want it?"

I saw him take out a dozen tickets from his pocket.

Book friends: "Do you know this? This is the monthly ticket that drives you crazy!"

Then the book friend pulled out a cruiser and shook it in front of him. He said, "Do you still want it?"

The cruiser slowly put down his rice bowl, took out a dagger from his pocket, and shook it in front of the book friend.

Cruiser: "Do you know?"

The book friend nodded.

Cruiser: "Robbery!"
