"Super Battleship?" As soon as he heard this name, Crown Prince William and Prince Heinrich were stunned. The Chinese actually dared to win this title for the "Han-class" battleship, which shows that the "Han-class" battleship must have been the same as before.

The 'Chinese-class' battleships are like epoch-making significance. This makes them even more curious!

Crown Prince William and Prince Heinrich both walked quickly to the desk of Chinese Navy Secretary Zhang Cheng and watched the drawings of the 'Han-class' battleship above. The design drawings are two meters long and have brief lines on them, outlining them.

A huge and majestic battleship was released. However, the design drawings did not indicate detailed parameters, and the Chinese Navy still retained some of this.

"Oh God! It's actually a triple-mounted turret, or three!" Prince Heinrich couldn't help but exclaim. The German Navy was also secretly developing the triple-mounted naval gun, but it could not solve the accuracy of the shooting.

It's just a problem. Now it seems that China has solved this problem, otherwise it would not have been used on the 'Han-class' battleship, which made Prince Heinrich unable to help but look at China with admiration!

"Hmph! Isn't it just three triple main guns? The 'Caesar-class' battleship is 5 dual-mounted main guns. In fact, the firepower of the 'Caesar-class' battleship is even stronger!" Although Prince William was shocked,

In his heart, he would not admit defeat at all.

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness the Prince. The Han-class battleship uses the three-unit main gun we have recently developed, which has a back-loaded design of two first and one second. It has a total of 9 main guns, with firepower ratios

The 'Qin-class' battleship is more powerful, and the artillery accuracy has also been greatly improved!" Chinese Navy Minister Zhang Cheng explained. The 'Qin-class' battleship uses four dual-mounted main guns, with a layout of two fronts and two backs

. However, this layout greatly affected the speed and stability of the battleship during navigation, and it was impossible to achieve accurate shooting during high-speed navigation. At least, after the Chinese Navy has proved that it was the first two

The layout of the latter main gun is currently the most appropriate one. Moreover, with the assistance of the semi-automatic loader, the shelling speed has reached one round per minute, and such firepower output is already the "Qin-class" battleship.

More than 1.8 times, even if it faces the British Navy's battleship equipped with five dual main guns, it has a decisive advantage in firepower output. With the precise shelling hit rate, the 'Han-class' battleship can be easily

The British Navy's more than three 'Dreadnought' battleships.

Looking at the stunned appearance of Crown Prince William and Prince Heinrich, Chinese Navy Secretary Zhang Cheng was very satisfied. Undoubtedly, the power of the navy, and the ability to build such a powerful battleship made him very proud. This is the real strong country.

ah!

"His Excellency the Navy Minister, what is the caliber of the main gun carried by the 'Han-class' battleship?" Prince Heinrich asked suddenly. He remembered that he had seen an information that the Chinese Navy had two years ago.

We are still seeking the construction technology of larger caliber naval guns from Germany. However, the German Navy is only 305mm naval guns are relatively mature, and the 343mm naval guns are also exploring. Therefore, they cannot give China more help. However,

Germany is very confident about its naval gun technology. Even their 280mm naval gun is comparable to the British 305mm naval gun in terms of power.

"His Royal Highness, the main gun carried by the 'Han-class' battleship is a 343 mm 50-times caliber main gun, which can penetrate new armor up to 305 mm thick at a distance of more than 12,000 meters."

Cheng said with a smile.

"343 mm 50 times the caliber? Can it penetrate 305 mm new armor within 12,000 meters?" At this moment, even Prince William could not calm down. The final armor of the 'Caesar-class' battleship was only 350 mm.

If the distance between the battle is closer to 10,000 meters, it is likely that it will not be able to withstand the Chinese "Han-class" battleships. In addition, in previous naval battles, the Chinese navy is good at using the terrifying hit rate and long-distance

In such a situation, the "Caesar-class" battleship, in front of the Chinese "Han-class" battleship, has no power to fight back!

"Hiss Minister of the Navy, I have to admit that the Chinese Navy once again designed an outstanding battleship, which is even more powerful than the battleships that countries are now designing and building. However, can you disclose it, 'Han-level

'How much displacement is the battleship, how thick is the armor, and how much can it reach the maximum speed?" Prince Heinrich didn't care about so much and sent his own question. He had realized the power of the 'Han-class' battleship.

But in addition to firepower, armor and speed are also very important. These are the most important factors that make up a battleship.

The displacement of the "Han-class" battleship is about 28,000 tons. The armor thickness of the turret and bridge is 350 mm, and the thickness of the side armor is 305 mm. The maximum speed is expected to be above 24 knots!" Chinese Navy Minister Zhang Cheng

Explained that he still reserved something in this regard and did not tell the German side the truth completely.

Prince Heinrich nodded. Through these vague data, he was able to roughly obtain the combat power of the "Han-class" battleship. In terms of displacement, the "Han-class" battleship is equivalent to the "Caesar-class" battleship, and the armor thickness is

It's almost the same. However, the firepower of the 'Han-class' battleship is stronger and the naval gun is more powerful, making it easier to tear open the armor of the 'Caesar-class' battleship. At the same time, the 'Han-class' battleship is faster than the 'Caesar-class'

Faster. Although Zhang Cheng said that the speed was only 24 knots, Prince Heinrich did not believe it. He knew that China must have reservations. For example, the Chinese "Chinese-class" battleship announced to the public that it only had 21 knots.

The maximum speed, but during the battle, it ran a high speed of more than 22 knots. Therefore, he was very suspicious that the maximum speed of the "Han-class" battleship was probably above 25 knots. In this way, the "Caesar-class" battleship

He was not a match for the Chinese Navy's "Han-class" battleship. This made him feel a little depressed.

"His Excellency the Navy Secretary, thank you for letting us see such a powerful battleship. The triple-mounted 343mm naval gun is indeed an innovation. The 'Han-class' battleship is indeed worthy of the title of 'super battleship'!"

Prince Inrich said.

"Thank you for your praise from His Highness the Prince. The 'Han-class' battleships and the subsequent 'Han-Xin-class' battlecruisers are the main battleships of our Chinese Navy in the future!" said Navy Secretary Zhang Cheng.

"Is the 'Hanxin-class' battlecruiser, is China's second battlecruiser?" Prince Heinrich asked hurriedly.

"Uh! That's it. We designed the Hanxin-class battlecruiser based on the Han-class battleship, the Hanxin-class battlecruiser, which has a powerful firepower comparable to the Han-class battleship, but has a higher speed

Much!" Zhang Cheng said, as if he had missed his mouth, and he was unwilling to have too many heads on the 'Hanxin-class' battle cruiser.

This made Prince Heinrich feel a little regretful, but he remembered the "Hanxin-class" battle cruiser.

In Prince Heinrich's view, since the Chinese have to spend a lot of money to build the Hanxin-class battlecruiser, they must have realized the powerful role of the Hanxin-class battlecruiser. It seems that Germany cannot fall behind either.

When building new battleships, we must also speed up the design and construction of new battleships, and we must not be left behind by China.

After leaving the Chinese Navy, Crown Prince William and Prince Heinrich returned to their fullest. Although China has reservations, they also got the information they want to know.

"Uncle, the Chinese 'Han-class' battleship seems to be more powerful than our 'Caesar-class'!" Crown Prince William couldn't help but sigh and said.

"Well! If one-on-one, the 'Caesar-class' battleship would not be the opponent of the 'Han-class' battleship of the Chinese!" Prince Heinrich said.

"No, uncle, we must suggest to our father to build a more powerful battleship. Germany must not lag behind China in the navy!" said Crown Prince William.

Prince Heinrich didn't say much. The battleship was originally burning money. Although Germany's economic development was very fast, the gap between the foundation and the United Kingdom was still too big. Even China's current funds were far away.

Powerful than Germany. A battleship can operate at more than tens of millions of marks or even more funds. Germany cannot afford huge shipbuilding funds. However, Germany is already in a difficult situation. If it is not built, it is more

With powerful battleships and battle cruisers, it will be difficult for Germany to win in future wars, and even if they win, they will not be able to retain the benefits they deserve.

Time passed slowly, a week later, on May 10, the wedding of Wang Yuze and the seventh princess of the Bavarian Kingdom of Helmchud was held in Xinhua Palace. The guests who attended the wedding, in addition to the relatives of both parties, were the important officials of the empire, and from all walks of life.

Representatives and foreign envoys to China were all present, with a total of more than 500 people gathered in Xinhua Palace.

According to Helmchud's wishes, he adopted a Western-style wedding. Wang Yuze was still wearing a military uniform without a military rank, while the bride Helmchud was wearing a white wedding dress, which made her beautiful face and slightly immature.

The figure sets off. The two look like a perfect couple.

The atmosphere of the wedding was very lively, and everyone congratulated Wang Yuze and Helmchud, the newlyweds. China and Germany also became closer because of this marriage! (To be continued. Please
