"Your Majesty, this is our latest submarine, temporarily named 'Jiaolong 2'." Wei Kun stood beside Wang Yuze with excitement. Over the past year, he has devoted himself to improving the submarine.
Now, it finally succeeded. At the beginning, Wang Yuze promised that if he designed a submarine that could be used for actual combat, he would be awarded a title. This has almost become the driving force for his work over the past year. Giving a title would mean
It’s exciting to think about becoming a nobleman of the empire or a founding nobleman!
Wang Yuze was also satisfied when he saw this obviously larger submarine. He just didn't know the specific parameters.
"Have you tried it after sea? What are the specific parameters?" Wang Yuze asked.
"Your Majesty, the displacement of 'Jiaolong 2' is 220 tons on the water surface, 290 tons underwater, 30 meters long, 3 meters wide, 4.8 meters high, and 2.4 meters draft. The maximum diving depth is 50 meters. It consists of two 40 horsepower diesel engines
Driven by two electric motors, the maximum surface speed is 10 knots and 4 knots underwater. The surface range is 500 nautical miles and the underwater range is 30 nautical miles. The military equipment is 2 533 mm torpedo tubes, which can carry 6 torpedoes. We have
Hai tried it, and the test data was completely normal!" Wei Kun introduced.
Wang Yuze nodded: "Very good, a submarine can be applied to actual combat." Although this is still a small submarine and cannot go forward to the ocean, there is still no problem in the offshore activities. Moreover, now
China has occupied the Philippines, Guam, Mariana Islands and Hawaii, and it is possible to build submarine bases in these places to form an underwater line of defense.
"Haha!" Hearing Wang Yuze's affirmation, Wei Kun smiled happily.
"Wei Kun, you are doing very well. I promised you that when you design a submarine that can be used for actual combat, I will give you a title. I now officially grant you the title of the third-class earl of the Empire. I hope to continue working hard for the Empire to develop it.
Let’s make more and better submarines!” Wang Yuze said.
"I thank you for your kindness!" Wei Kun's face turned red with excitement. He was just a commoner, but now he was able to become the Earl of the Empire, which made him very excited.
"Wei Kun, this class of submarine is named U-1 class submarine, codenamed 'Squid'. I hope you can further transform and design a more powerful submarine in the next time. At the same time,
While increasing the range and diving depth, reduce noise. This is very important for submarine combat!" Wang Yuze said.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I have recorded it. From tomorrow, I will start designing a new type of submarine!" Wei Kun said immediately.
"Okay! Wei Han, how long is the construction period of such a submarine?" Wang Yuze asked. Now he was worried that the navy would have a way for the other side of the British Navy to have a new idea.
"Your Majesty, the construction period of the U-1 class submarine is 9 months. If you hurry up, it can be shortened to about 6 months!" Wei Han replied.
"Very good, then, from now on, the Beihai Shipyard will make every effort to build U-1 class submarines. By May next year, I hope that at least 12 U-1 class submarines will be put into service." Wang Yuze said solemnly.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will complete the task!" Wei Han promised.
"Okay, let's go to the conference room!" Wang Yuze said. Taking advantage of this time to attend the entry ceremony of the battleship "Shenzhou" battleship, the navy's next strategic deployment can be made. Judging from the current time, the time when the Japanese warship returned to China
It is approaching, and the local fleet must be fully prepared. For Japan, as long as its navy is destroyed, Japan's hundreds of thousands of troops will only be trapped on the island. China can even block the Japanese waters to make it happen.
Japan is heading for collapse. Therefore, this battle must be won. In this way, China can win at the lowest cost.
In the conference room of the North Sea Shipyard, senior leaders of the Admiralty and the local fleet took their seats.
"Commander Deng, now all the 'Chinese-class' battleships are in service. Are the local fleets ready to deal with powerful enemies?" Wang Yuze asked directly.
"When you go back to your Majesty, the local fleet is ready. Over the past three years, the soldiers of the local fleet have been training hard, and what they are waiting for is the arrival of this day. As long as the combat order is issued, we will definitely win!" Deng Shichang was confident
Said.
"I think this is not a problem to defeat the Japanese Navy. What I am worried about now is, what if the British Navy intervenes after the Japanese Navy is annihilated? The British people, the Chinese fleet, have four "monarch-class" battleships,
In Hong Kong, there are two Pacific Fleets, mainly battleships in Singabo. In addition, they have more than 20 battleships in their homeland. Of course, it is impossible for these battleships to be transferred to deal with us. However, we
Your Majesty must be prepared to deal with it!" Wang Yuze said.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured that once the 'Qin-class' battleships are in service, we will have eight new battleships, and there will be two 'Sichuan-class' battleships. In addition, 8 'Beijing-class' heavy cruisers and 4 'Chengdu-class' heavy cruisers' heavy
Cruisers can deal with the British old-fashioned battleships. As long as the British navy is not all the main forces advancing eastward, we are confident of winning. In addition, if the submarines can be put into service next year, our chances of winning will be greater. 12 submarines can be ambushed in
On the Strait of Malacca or other waterways, an ambush was launched on the British Navy fleet. The British Navy would inevitably suffer heavy losses if it was not at a disadvantage. At that time, the main force of the local fleet would strike out again and the battle could determine the world. Moreover,
With the German Navy restrained it in Europe, the British Navy may not dare to mobilize all the main forces to advance eastward. So, I am sure that we will win this battle!" Deng Shichang replied confidently.
"Very good! I am very satisfied with this answer. However, we cannot put too much hope on the Germans. We must be prepared if the Germans cannot restrain the main force of the British Navy." Wang Yuze said.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Deng Shichang said.
"Your Majesty, it should be not a big problem for the local fleet to win the final victory. However, there may be something wrong with the Pacific Fleet. If the war breaks out next year, the Pacific Fleet will face the US Navy with 6 battleships.
If it is dragged to the next year, the number of battleships of the US Navy will increase to 14. The Pacific Fleet now has only 3 battleships, one of which is the captured USS Oregon battleship. After improvement, its combat power
It barely reached the level of "Plateau" and was named "Hawaii". However, when facing the US Navy's "Qishazhi" battleship and the "Illinois" battleship, it will no longer have any advantages. I am afraid it will be possible to have any advantages.
, The Pacific Fleet will fight very hard in this battle!" Zhang Cheng said with some concern.
Wang Yuze also frowned. The United States is the main participant in the Pacific Alliance. According to the treaty, if China takes action against Japan, the United States will definitely declare war on China and take the opportunity to take action against Hawaii. The strength of the Pacific Fleet now cannot ensure
Better than the US Navy. If the Pacific Fleet is defeated, the fall of Hawaii will be almost doomed.
"How have we built the fortifications on Oahu and Kauai?" Wang Yuze asked.
"After more than a year of accelerated construction, the main fortifications on Oahu have been completed. We have deployed more than 30 large and small turrets in Pearl Harbor and Honolulu. Among them, the largest caliber is 305mm shore defense cannon, so
The giant cannons are as many as twelve. There are also more than twenty 280 mm caliber shore defense cannons. In addition, 203 mm caliber shore defense cannons and 155 mm caliber shore defense cannons, which add up to a full range of
There are hundreds of gates. If the US Navy dares to attack Oahu, they will definitely return in vain!" Zhang Cheng replied.
"Then let's arrange it like this. Once the U.S. Navy shows signs of attacking Hawaii, the Pacific Fleet will go out to sea immediately to avoid fighting with the U.S. Navy. Our troops on other islands of Hawaii will all retreat to Oahu and strictly guard Oahu. Hawaii
The Queen is also temporarily returning to Oahu. As long as Oahu is in our hands, even if the Americans occupy other islands in Hawaii, it will be useless. We can take back these islands at any time. When we destroy Japan
After the navy, some warships can be properly sent to Hawaii for support. At that time, defeating the US Navy will not be a problem. As long as the US Navy is defeated, there will be no possibility of victory in the US battle." Wang Yuze said.
Hawaii has two full marine brigades to protect the security of Oahu, which is not a problem at all. It may be difficult for Americans to send troops from their homeland to land in Hawaii. Although the distance between the United States and Hawaii is
It is half as close as China to Hawaii. But with the weak strength of the US Army, the US Navy does not have a special Marine Corps. You can imagine what the consequences will be for them to conduct landing operations.
"Your Majesty, can we send more troops to Hawaii? After defeating the US Navy, we can launch a landing battle against the United States without giving the Americans a breathing time! Now, the American army has expanded to 200,000.
We also strengthened our training and added a lot of equipment. But overall, there is still a big gap with our country's army!" Zhang Cheng suggested.
"Yes! After returning to Beijing, you can negotiate with the Chief of Staff and the Army Department and send some troops to Hawaii! However, you must give priority to transporting various strategic materials to Hawaii to ensure that there will be no shortage of materials after the Pacific Fleet is withdrawn.
!” Wang Yuze said.
"Yes, Your Majesty! I will make arrangements!" Zhang Cheng replied.
