PS: Three more today! Sorry, a little late! Thank you for your reward for the eagle of the Liberation Army! Thank you for the monthly ticket for the crazy chief gate of the book!
The strength of the UK is largely built on the brutal exploitation of the vast number of colonies. It is the support of the official overseas colonies that make Britain the world's first power. Resources, including food, energy, and other production raw materials, they need to be imported from the colonies. The products produced also need to rely on the majority of the colonial market to sell them. Otherwise, the British industrial and commercial business has long been by the United States and Germany in Germany and Germany And China, which joined later, was crowded.
It can be said that overseas colonies have become the lifeblood of the United Kingdom. Once the connection between the British and overseas colonies is cut off, the potential of British war will be greatly reduced. Therefore, when the British Navy Minister Fisciele pointed out this new style of the Chinese Navy After the function of the battleship, Prime Minister Arthur Bellford immediately scared a cold sweat.
"Do you know how many Chinese people are going to build this new battleship?" Prime Minister Arthur Bellford asked.
"By Prime Minister, according to the information we get, the new battleship of this class will build four ships, or more. Of course, this is just this level. The construction plan of this new type of battleship. However, the only certainty is that this new battleship of the Chinese will have a fatal threat to the British Empire! "Sir Sir Fisher said.
The face of Prime Minister Arthur Bellford seems to be able to drip water. He has never thought that the Chinese will designed such a poisonous battleship for Britain. Although there is no actual evidence that the Chinese are targeted at the Chinese people are targeted at the Chinese people are targeted at The British only designed this kind of battleship. However, from the contradictions between China and Britain, and the ambitions of China, it is not difficult to see the intention of the Chinese people to design such a battleship.
"So, Sir Fisher, Royal Navy. How to deal with the challenges of the Chinese? I only have one requirement, that is, the glory of the Royal Navy must be maintained. The security of the British Empire must be guaranteed!" Arthur Bell Prime Minister Fu said.
"By Prime Minister, in fact, this new battleship designed by the Chinese. The difficulty is not very difficult in killing. If the Royal Navy increases its investment, in the next three years, we will be able to come up with a battleship. The new battleship. However, the Navy needs sufficient design and construction of military expenses. In addition, in order to deal with the challenges of the Chinese. The "Fearless" battleship must be accelerated, and the "Berrero -class' battleship must also start work as soon as possible. In addition, in view of the current critical situation, I demanded the number of constructions of the Berrero -class' battleship from 3 to 6. In this way, in 1905, we have 12 new battleships and several fast ships quickly. The battleship is basically available to the maritime interests of the British Empire. However, if the Royal Navy of the British Empire is to be restored to the world's first navy, we need to increase investment. Follow up! "Sir Fisher said. The Chinese Navy is developing rapidly, which has given him tremendous pressure. If the British Navy wants to restore the glory of the past, it must increase investment. Sir Fisher I believe. As long as the funds can be guaranteed, with the heritage of the British Navy, the status of recovering the world's first naval power within ten years will not have the problem of the people. Of course, this will undoubtedly require huge funds to guarantee, and he , I can only expect the support of Prime Minister Arthur Bellford.
Sure enough. After listening to Sir Fisher's words, Prime Minister Arthur Bellford frowned. The British fiscal revenue throughout the year is only more than 100 million pounds.
And it takes one or two years to end it. At least it will be invested in a £ 200 million. The Navy has proposed a large -scale shipbuilding plan.
£ 1.5 million. The subsequent 'Berrero -class' battleship, the cost is as high as 3 million pounds. In addition, the Navy has to invest in the new battleship of the Chinese Navy, as well as other subsequent battleships, and other subsequent battleships.
This is exactly a golden beast! Otherwise, if the British can plunder a lot of wealth from the colonies every year, it is impossible to afford such heavy expenses at all.
However, Prime Minister Arthur Bellford knows that some money must be spent. If this money is stingy, it will cause huge trouble to the British Empire in the future. Just like the Navy, if the British Navy cannot recover, the British vast majority of Britain
Overseas colonies threatened. Especially in India and Australia, it is completely in the mouth of the Chinese. As long as the Chinese are willing, they can swallow these two huge colonies. In order to curb China's ambitions, the United Kingdom must have
Building the world's most powerful navy. In addition, Europe has a step -by -step comparison in Europe. Germany and China have created a large number of new battleships.
If a bad one, British overseas colonies will be divided by China and Germany. Therefore, there is no way to do it in the UK, so he has to do his best.
"Well, Sir Fisher, let's let go! I will find a way to persuade the parliament to give the navy enough money. After all, this is related to the future of the British Empire.
Empire! "Prime Minister Arthur Bellford said.
"Yes, Prime Minister, please rest assured that the British Empire will not fail!" Sir Fashel promised.
Prime Minister Arthur nodded, but his eyes were full of worry.
"By the Prime Minister, when the Chinese emperor was welcomed, I hope to participate!" Sir Sir Fisher said.
"Why?" Arthur Bellford asked. Although Sir Fisher was the Minister of the Navy and was qualified to participate, but Arthur Bellford felt that there was no need for this.
"By Prime Minister, I have to observe the Chinese new battleships at close range. If possible, I hope to go to the ship to see it!" Sir Sir Fisher said.
"This, I'm afraid there is some difficulty. The Chinese will definitely not agree!" Said Prime Minister Arthur Bellford.
"It doesn't matter, then think about it again! However, I probably guess the principle of this new battleship. The Ministry of Navy will soon come up with the corresponding design plan!" Sir Sir Fisher said firmly.
The design concept of the British Navy has always attaches importance to firepower and speed, and the Chinese new -style battleships obviously follow this solution. Therefore, the British Navy must design the same type of battleships. The problem is not big.
On February 15th, the battleship of the Parksmouth Military Port in southern Britain, the British Navy's local fleet, ranked in a row and began to play ritual guns. Welcome the Chinese emperor to visit the UK. On the dock, the future King Edward VIII
, British Prime Minister Arthur Bellford, Sir Fisher, Minister of the Navy is waiting.
The tall body on the shore. The tall body of the battle cruiser of the Baiqi 'Battle, which brought a great shock to the British. Most British people heard that China is powerful, but I saw that the Chinese were built so
When a strong battleship, you can really feel this powerful.
"Sir Fisher, do the Royal Navy of the British Empire have such a powerful battleship?" Edward VII couldn't help asking.
"His Royal Highness, there is no yet, but soon we have it. The Royal Navy of the British Empire is always the world's number one!"
Edward VII nodded. Although she is sixty years old, she is qualified to become the British king for decades.
Germany ruled by the nephew is pressing the United Kingdom, and the rise of the Grand Empire, the rise of the Far East, has drove Western forces out of the Far East at one time, and has a serious threat to Britain's interests.
After the "Bai Qi" leaned on the shore, Wang Yize held the hand of the queen Xiong Menghan. Under the guard of the guard, he got off the boat. Edward VII and others, and immediately greeted him.
"Welcome, Her Majesty of the Great Emperor Chinese Emperor!" Edward VII said with a threat. Looking at the young emperor under the age of 30, Edward VII has a feeling of already old.
"I am very happy to see you. The future of the King of King of England. The death of Queen Victoria is a loss for all British. Please make a sorrow!" Wang Yuze said with the hand of Edward VII.
"Thank you! However, I think Her Majesty will live happily in heaven. She has worked for more than sixty years for this country. It is time to rest!" Edward VII said with a smile.
"Welcome, Her Majesty the Emperor!" British Prime Minister Arthur Bellford said with a smile. Although he actually hated China to die, especially after learning that China had built such a poisonous warship, he was more even more.
That's it.
"Thank you, By the Prime Minister." Wang Yuze said with a smile.
"Welcome to the UK, Her Majesty!" Sir Sir Fisher, the British Navy Minister, also said.
"Jiu Yang is famous, the Minister of the Navy!" Wang Yuze was very admired by the British Navy Minister Fisher, who led the British Navy to hold the German Navy in history.
"Thank you, His Majesty! His Majesty! Is this the latest warship built in your country?" Sir Fisher asked the "Baiqi" battleship.
"Of course! This is the latest warship of our navy. We call it the" War Cruise Ship "." Wang Yuze proudly answered.
"Is the battle cruiser? This name is really appropriate! But, soon we will have this type of war cruiser!" Sir Fisher said secretly in his heart.
