Chapter 174
Chapter 174
After seeing the construction sketches published by the Northeast Navy.
The Chinese super battleship immediately became the focus of various countries.
At present, the world's first battleship, the Wuyue-class battleship, is in service with the Chinese Navy.
If it is still the previous Huaxia.
If they announce this super battleship.
That's a big international joke.
But there is a battleship of more than 50,000 tons of Wuyue class in front.
This 100,000-ton battleship is exaggerated a little, though.
But in terms of the capabilities of Huaxia now.
Maybe it's still capable of making it.
And for the situation in China now.
They still know something about it.
Take the most basic steel production.
According to the intelligence they gathered from all sides.
The annual output is at least 20 million tons.
It is already the world's second largest steel producer.
And their shipyard in Dalian is very large.
Although there are many people who question Huaxia's shipbuilding ability.
But this is a great stimulus for the great powers.
The first to stand is the Yin Kingdom.
To say that the last thing to see the rise of the Chinese Navy is the Yin Kingdom.
When the First Fleet of China appeared in Fu Province.
The First Fleet never again deliberately hid its whereabouts.
Normal activities in various sea areas began.
The Yellow Sea, East China Sea, South China Sea, Pacific Ocean and even the Indian Ocean have all appeared in the Chinese fleet.
From then on, the combined fleet of the Wao never dared to approach the territorial waters of China again.
Even if you go south, you can only go around the point.
This undoubtedly made the country very uncomfortable.
But when I think of the super battleship they are building.
My heart is full of confidence.
After their 70,000-ton super battleship came out.
It is not necessary that another Sino-Japanese naval battle cannot be repeated.
This is also the battle for the rise of their kingdom.
And their super battleship is still being designed.
Huaxia actually announced their super battleship construction plan.
And much larger than they designed.
The standard displacement is 85,000 tons, and the full displacement is more than 100,000 tons.
Armament with 9 500 mm naval guns with a maximum speed of more than 25 knots.
If you really let this super battleship be born.
Then their combined fleet really has no way to live.
"The expansion of the Navy must be accelerated.
Otherwise, our navy will always be overwhelmed.
This is our last chance.
If we continue to let the Chinese Navy continue to develop like this.
Perhaps their Sino-Japanese naval battle will be repeated on us.
We must block the national movement and continue to strengthen the navy. "
Okaku Censheng is a staunch fleet faction in the Yin Navy.
The biggest enemy of the fleet faction is the treaty faction.
The super-battleship construction plan announced by Tohoku. 107 let Dajiao Cen Sheng see a light.
A dawn of breaking through the limits of the treaty.
The treaty is the yoke that is placed on them.
The fleet faction of the Navy has never given up.
When Emperor Hirohito heard this, his face also became a little hesitant.
The current Washington Naval Treaty is indeed too restrictive for them.
Moreover, when signing this treaty, the most disadvantageous thing was originally their country.
The 5:3 tonnage ratio strictly limited the tonnage of their capital ships to 300,000 tons.
This is already far behind Huaxia.
If nothing else, let's say their 6 battleships of more than fifty thousand tons.
Just far surpassed them in the tonnage of the capital ships.
And that's not counting those dozens of cruisers over 10,000 tons.
In terms of total tonnage is already several times the tonnage of the capital ships of their Navy.
How could the country not be in a hurry.
As the emperor, Hirohito could not be in a hurry.
"Maybe we really need to end this treaty early."
Contact other countries immediately to agree on an early termination of the treaty.
I don't believe they are in a hurry. "
To say that the world's current shipbuilding ability is the strongest.
That would definitely be Britannia.
After all, the profound heritage of hundreds of years of galloping across the ocean is still there.
Their ship-building capabilities cannot be underestimated.
But if they were to design and build a 100,000-ton battleship.
This is difficult to do.
And now Huaxia announced the super battleship construction plan.
It touched the British Navy.
This also poses a huge threat to their interests in the Far East.
The original Huaxia Navy was difficult enough to deal with.
If they are adding a 100,000-ton battleship.
Then they will be an invincible presence in the Far East.
This is also something that the British Navy will never allow.
But it is useless that they do not allow it.
The Washington Naval Treaty is still on the head.
They can't do anything even if they want to.
Because of the restrictions according to the treaty.
The total tonnage of the built battleships must not exceed 35000 tons, and the caliber of the main guns must not exceed 406 mm.
So they can't do anything even if they want to.
"Battleships are not larger in tonnage, the larger the caliber, the more powerful."
Many British admirals began to sour.
However, Huaxia is not a signatory, and Zhang Xueming is not even considered to be the Zhongyang government of Huaxia.
They simply can't make limits.
It's not that they didn't think about it before.
But Zhang Xueming didn't bird them at all.
Fatty Qiu began to jump out at this time.
Although he is very unhappy with the shadow cabinet.
But he knows the state of the current (CJFI) Navy.
"The previous restriction was due to the fear of an arms race to build ships.
But now Huaxia has set off a new round of shipbuilding competition.
If we continue to follow the treaty.
Then wait until the 36-year treaty is dissolved.
The British Navy will no longer be the first navy in the world.
We have to make a change. "
His words also won the support of the British Navy.
The Cabinet also had to pay attention to this issue.
And Eagle Sauce is the old god here.
One is that they have the Pacific Ocean as a barrier.
No matter how powerful the battleships of Huaxia, they could not threaten their homeland.
Second, there is no conflict between the two sides.
After all, there is a Yin Kingdom in the middle as a buffer.
But Roosevelt saw all this clearly.
"A new round of naval competition is about to begin again, and maybe we need to be ready."
The think tank said worriedly: "Will the people in Congress agree?" "
Roosevelt, in a wheelchair, chuckled, "They don't want to say yes." "
Sure enough, it didn't take a few days.
They received a telegram from the kingdom.
"Resuming negotiations on the Washington Naval Treaty."
As for what the purpose of the reboot is.
It can be said that Sima Zhao's heart is known to everyone.
During this period, Zhang Xueming once again added a fire.
Another news was announced to the public.
Facing growing maritime challenges.
Tohoku will consider adding 10 new Wuyue-class battleships.
Only then can we safely protect China's territorial waters from threats.
As soon as this news was announced, it really caused a huge sensation again.
Now the Huaxia Navy has been equipped with 6 ships.
If you increase by 4.
They really can't stand it.
This is a battleship with a full row of more than 50,000 tons.
This is not cabbage.
Why is Huaxia so capricious now, saying that if you build, you will build.
Don't they build ships without money?
This is even more pressure on the great powers.
Zhang Xueming asked the Navy to release this news, and it was not a joke.
Instead, it really wanted to increase the number of Wuyue-class battleships to 10.
If you launch one every two years.
Construction can be completed from this year to 42 years.
This speed is also acceptable to him.
And this era of radar and guided weapons was not yet very reliable.
In the conditions of bad sea conditions and night fighting.
The usefulness of battleships is still there.
So even if they build more aircraft carriers.
It is impossible to eliminate battleships in a short time. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) )
In Zhang Xueming's planning.
In the future, there will be three fleets of China, each equipped with 3-4 battleships.
2 ships for rotation repair, 2 ships for combat and training, can also be considered more reasonable.
So it is very necessary to keep 10 or so battleships.
To put it bluntly, it is still rich.
His confidence comes from the domestic annual output of more than 40 million tons of steel.
More than 20 billion tons of total oil reserves, more than 80 billion tons of ore.
And the number is constantly increasing.
Since the check-in system upgrade.
The probability of checking in to weapons, equipment and troops has become significantly smaller.
The probability of checking in to various plants, equipment, and resources is greatly improved.
Especially in terms of resources.
Check in at least 8 times a month.
Each rewarded resource is in units of 100 million tons.
Iron ore is more like not asking for money.
A check-in is 1 billion tons, and it's a bonanza.
The amount of iron-rich ore signed in alone exceeded 10 billion tons.
Copper mines start at 100 million tons per check-in.
Now the total reserves of copper mines have exceeded 300 million tons.
The total copper reserves in Huaxia were only 35 million tons.
The total proven copper reserves in the world are only 880 million tons.
Huaxia alone accounts for one-third.
There is also the very important mineral for the manufacture of aircraft - aluminum ore.
Diamond, platinum, chromium, cobalt, titanium, rhenium and other rare ores were previously scarce.
Basically, it is calculated according to tens of millions of tons.
It is also a resource with many reserves, plus a rich variety.
Huaxia simply does not have to worry about the exhaustion of resources.
And you can also continue to export various ores abroad for money.
For example, it has reached cooperation with Germany on major resources such as crude oil, tungsten ore, iron ore, aluminum ore, and nickel ore.
Every year Germany alone spends more than a billion Reichsmarks on this.
This time, Zhang Xueming also experienced how cool it is to sell mines.
It's just lying down and counting money.
And the mine is selling more and more.
Perhaps because the military strength of the Northeast Army has now developed to a strong enough.
The system began to make up for Huaxia's shortcomings in other aspects.
Resources are the most direct way.
Because war fights for comprehensive national strength.
And resources are the basis of comprehensive national strength.
It's like Germany during World War II.
If they are not short of all kinds of resources.
The days of Britain, Eagle Sauce and polar bears will definitely be very sad.
Resources that simply don't run out.
All kinds of weapons can be made at will.
Of course, the premise is that it cannot affect the development of the economy.
In peacetime, economic development is still the mainstay.
At the same time, the national defense military forces will be developed step by step.
When the Navy announced a new round of shipbuilding plans.
The two countries of Britain and the Kingdom of Britain began to be anxious.
Quickly pulled Gallic chicken, eagle sauce, and Yidoli to meet again in Washington.
Britain and the Kingdom were in a hurry.
Yi Duli is not having a good time now, although Lao Mo has come to power.
But the status quo of Yiduli has not changed much.
So I am not enthusiastic about it, but I am not against it.
They see the Mediterranean as their own inland sea.
Naturally, a strong naval force is also needed.
Since Britain and the Kingdom of Britain brought it up.
Then they also agreed along the water.
France's words, on the other hand, followed the pace of Britain.
Eagle sauce is even more indifferent.
Their geographical location allows them to sit and watch the world change.
But the pressure on the Pacific is even greater.
Not only must we guard against this ambitious country, which has begun to move towards the crazy Yin Kingdom.
It is also necessary to guard against the newly rising Huaxia.
None of the five major signatories objected.
This Washington naval treaty has no point in existing.
They announced that the deadline for the Washington Naval Treaty had been brought forward to June 1.
It has only been about ten days since the ban was lifted.
At this time, the polar bear came out again.
The bearded man looked at the crazy construction of ships on Huaxia's side.
Naturally, his eyes were extremely hot.
Taking advantage of the great economic crisis in the West, the polar bear swept through many industrial equipment in the West.
The development of heavy industry is still very gratifying.
The ability to build ships is not weak.
So Comrade Father shouted that they would also build battleships of 100,000 tons, with cannons caliber of at least 800 mm.
It cannot be worse than the 100,000-ton super battleship in the northeast.
This also made Britain, the Kingdom of Wa, and Eagle Sauce extra vigilant.
So they also began to accelerate a new round of shipbuilding programs.
The Wakoku side is still secretly designing their Yamato-class battleships.
The word forbearance was vividly played by them.
Britain in order to maintain the image of their naval power.
It was also decided to start plans to build super battleships.
In terms of their shipbuilding capabilities, it was still no problem to build a battleship of sixty or seventy thousand tons.
The point is that it is too expensive.
The cost of a 70,000-ton battleship can build a battleship of the half-fifty-thousand ton.
In the face of the shipbuilding plans announced by various countries one after another.
Even Eagle Sauce had to get involved.
It also meant that the Navy holiday ended early.
Watching the shipbuilding plans of various countries be announced one after another.
Zhang Xueming felt very happy.
Build more battleships, so that aircraft carriers will build less.
Once the Huaxia Navy is on the line with them in the future, the advantage will be even greater.
"Commander, it can't be delayed any longer, now the people's call for unification is very high.
According to the information provided by Director Zheng.
Even within the national army, there have been many different voices.
Jiang Guangtou is now in a mess and has shot several generals. "
Originally, Zhang Xueming planned to launch an offensive in the spring.
However, the training of recruits of the Northeast Army has progressed relatively slowly.
So you can only choose to postpone.
And now the recruits have finished training.
It has also been integrated into the various units.
The number of infantry divisions in the second-line troops alone has reached a full 100.
The number of troops of the main division also reached 50.
The total strength of 150 divisions has exceeded the size of 2 million.
The number of fighters also exceeded 6,000.
The size of the three fighters alone, Mustang, Thunderbolt, and Skyraider, has reached half.
The main models such as the C-124 transport aircraft and the B-36 strategic bomber were also in service.
A third of the 50 main divisions also completed the retooling.
The current Northeast Army is strong.
It is indeed possible to launch a new round of offensive.
"Then set the total attack time for June 1st.
According to the plan drawn up by the General Staff, the trumpet of unification was sounded. "
After Jiang Fangzhen and Bai Chongxi heard Zhang Xueming's words.
Joy appeared on his face.
"Yes, we will start issuing the battle plan."
With the order of operation issued by the Supreme High Command.
The entire Northeast Army began to spin in a row.
A large number of trains and trucks are transporting personnel, weapons, supplies, etc. to the front line.
Such a big operation of the Northeast Army.
Naturally, it cannot be hidden.
The government after receiving the relevant information.
It immediately caused panic.
Everyone understands that the national capital is really sunset this time, and the building will fall.
Although Jiang Guangtou still has a million troops in his hands.
However, the real elite troops have long been consumed in the province of Fu.
How many of these million-strong armies are truly capable of fighting?
Even if it is his elite troops.
In the face of the powerful Northeast Army, can it withstand it? .
