After all, battleships are used for deterrence and decisive battles between the main force. Faced with more and more maritime territories, what the Chinese territories need most is cruisers.
Since the maritime territory of the Chinese territory is too scattered, the twelve "Tongjiang" class cruisers are insufficient, so Fang Xiaoyu decided to design another class of heavy cruisers to supplement the number.
This time, Fang Xiaoyu still used the dome armor design. In order to improve the endurance as much as possible, Fang Xiaoyu set the displacement to 6,150 tons. This type of cruiser was 103 meters long, twenty meters wide, and a draft of seven meters.
The power system can provide 13,000 horsepower. In order to obtain high speed, Fang Xiaoyu tried to thin the warship armor and returned the secondary gun to a cannon to reduce weight. Therefore, this cruiser can reach twenty-five.
High speed of the festival.
Its weapons include four main guns with 203 mm and 40 caliber times, ten secondary guns with 152 mm, and six rapid-fire guns with 76 mm. At the same time, Fang Xiaoyu also installed a triple-mounted installation for the cruiser.
Four hundred and twenty mm torpedo launch tube.
In addition, Fang Xiaoyu also decided to develop a destroyer with only four 130 mm main guns and 1,200 tons of displacement on the basis of the ocean-going torpedo boats as a supplement to the cruiser. This destroyer will have a high speed of 27 knots and
Four torpedo launch tubes.
Destroyers are still a new type of ship in this world. Destroyers on Earth were first designed to deal with small and extremely high-speed torpedo boats.
In this world, torpedoes have just been invented, and countries have no clear understanding of the use of torpedoes. Even the torpedo boats have just appeared in Fang Xiaoyu's hands, let alone its natural enemy destroyer.
Fang Xiaoyu designed the destroyer this time mainly because he was interested in its ease of manufacturing, easy maintenance, low cost of use, and its pilot performance was also good, which was enough to meet the needs of ocean-going combat.
Fang Xiaoyu's drawings were full of joy, and the navy's senior officials were cheering, but after Xu Shouchang calculated the costs of this series of shipbuilding plans, everyone was stunned. The total cost was as high as 50 million Lanfang coins.
Such high construction costs made traveling in East China a painful pain, but he also understood that these were the money that had to be spent. Without enough warships, he could not compete for hegemony on the Eastern Ocean, nor could he defend against the pressure from powerful countries on the western continent such as Saar.
Fang Xiaoyu also understood that such a huge shipbuilding plan could easily overwhelm the Chinese government's finances, so he decided to let his Chinese Group Corporation donate 20 million Lanfang coins to this batch of warships free of charge, which made East China some of the money.
Xing felt a little relieved.
Such a huge shipbuilding plan would definitely make the powerful people in the Western Continent warrant the Chinese territory if they were known to you. Therefore, these three warships were top secret before they were completed, and they could never be built in shipyards outside the Chinese territory.
Fortunately, the shipyards in Vladivostok and Ryukyu have been built and the scale is also very large, but there are not many technicians and engineers. Therefore, Fang Xiaoyu secretly poached many people from the twelve shipyards entrusted by the empire with high salaries.
These twelve major shipyards are now under Fang Xiaoyu's jurisdiction. As long as you do some tricks, no one will know. At most, when others ask, they will use business trips or transfers between shipyards and technical exchanges as an excuse.
Just get over it.
The Chinese territory increased again this time, allowing Fang Xiaoyu to divide the land of several counties. Among them, the three major islands cut off from the Kingdom of New Guinea were named Nanhai County by Fang Xiaoyu, and the Ryukyu Islands and several archipelago ceded from Japan became Ryukyu County.
.
In addition, the administrative units of the wild continent, whether it has been developed in the north or the undeveloped central and southern parts, are divided into eight counties: wasteland, Moor, highland, desert hills, plains, Linhai, southern Xinjiang, and Hongling.
Although there are many administrative units, in fact, only the two counties of Moore and Wuqiu are currently in development. The other six counties are few people and are not much different from Wudi.
Although the opening speed is not satisfactory, Fang Xiaoyu does not intend to open it to others to develop it. In Fang Xiaoyu's plan, this will be the base he built for home. Those technologies that completely surpass modernity are arranged here, and they will never be
It can be known to the outside world.
Only by fully controlling the Wild Continent in Fang Xiaoyu's own hands can we ensure absolute confidentiality. Although this place is still relatively desolate now, Fang Xiaoyu also believes that with the existence of a train, the entire Wild Continent will surely prosper quickly.
What the Chinese leader lacks the most now is population. Therefore, Fang Xiaoyu not only increased the domestic immigration efforts, but also issued a call to develop the Chinese leader to the overseas Chinese. At the same time, the Chinese leader also promised that the Chinese leader would provide protection for overseas Chinese people in the future.
Persecution of the Chinese people will be regarded as declaration of war against the Chinese territory.
The Lanfang Empire used to treat overseas Chinese people as "the Celestial Empire abandoned people" and ignored them. Even if they were persecuted by locals overseas, no one was fair to them, so they were always relatively united.
Without the support of the state regime, even the united civil groups cannot confront the government. Therefore, the Chinese people overseas do not live well, and they always live a worried life.
This declaration of the Chinese territory is like a lightning bolt that cuts through the night sky, allowing overseas Chinese people to see hope. Therefore, after the Chinese government issued the call to "develop the Chinese territory", a large number of overseas Chinese people decided to abandon their industries and come to the Chinese territory.
To contribute to the construction of China Territory, some overseas Chinese wealthy businessmen have also donated money to raise funds for China Territory's development.
Of course, these developments are limited to the territory of the Chinese territory in the Eastern Continent. Since the wild continent was purchased by Fang Xiaoyu in his private name, he only planned to develop it alone with his own industry.
Fang Xiaoyu was inexplicably moved by the actions of overseas Chinese. He immediately ordered the opening of the official Chinese shopping mall in the places where overseas Chinese live, not only to solve the problems for local Chinese people, but also to negotiate with the local government for them.
What’s more important is that the Chinese dean’s shopping mall will issue Chinese dean passports to overseas Chinese and recognize their identity as Chinese dean. Fang Xiaoyu even wrote a sentence on the first page of the Chinese dean’s passport designed by China dean, “No matter where you are
, China Leader will be your strong backing.”
With the enthusiastic participation of overseas Chinese, the construction speed of China Territory has reached a new level. Even Fang Dingguo seized the opportunity to set up new clothing factories and cotton mills in Beidi County to utilize the local high-quality cotton resources
Production and reduce freight costs in transportation.
