Anti-Japanese War: Red Alert Base, I am the Power

Chapter 176



Europe was shocked, the whole West was shocked, and even the whole world was shocked.

Although the current speed of news transmission is not as fast as in modern time and space, it is not very slow.

When there is some disturbance, it can be transmitted to the world in a short time.

Such important news as the Huaxia super battleship is naturally included.

There are too many eyes staring in Hong Kong and Guangzhou.

When they saw the Huaxia super battleship, they naturally transmitted what they saw and heard through the radio.

It was precisely because of this that a huge shock was caused among the Western powers.

Although they did not see the photos related to the Huaxia super battleship, because it has not been transmitted so quickly, a lot of information can be obtained from their words.

The first of these is the tonnage, which is at least more than 70,000 tons and equipped with 3 triple-mounted main guns with a caliber of more than 400 mm.

These two are enough.

Many people did not believe it at the first moment they saw the news.

But the content of the telegram made them have to believe it.

It is difficult to accept this fact at all.

Because it seems like a fairy tale to them.

But the telegram was a secret message from the Far East, so how could the content be false?

Besides, in a month or two, the Chinese fleet will be able to appear in Europe.

So they know whether the content of the telegram is true or false. They just don't want to admit it.

With a displacement of more than 70,000 tons and 9 naval guns with a caliber of more than 400 mm, this number is quite explosive for a battleship.

Many countries do not even have the ability to build such a super battleship. There are only a handful of countries that have the ability and funds to build it.

Only Britain and the United States have this ability.

But let's not talk about the two aspects of technology and industry.

The funds alone are enough to keep many countries out.

When the fleet arrived at Guangzhou Port, the port was already crowded with people.

More than 100,000 people gathered here, and there were more than a thousand expensive cameras here.

At this time, they were able to take close-up photos of the Chinese super battleship.

Because the Chinese battleship stayed in the port.

The Chinese Navy did not stop them from filming.

Instead, they arranged an area specifically for them.

Photos of the Huaxia battleship were urgently sent to Europe and America by plane on the same day.

Major domestic newspapers, including official media, published a large number of photos of the Huaxia super battleship.

Among these official media, more detailed information about the Huaxia battleship was released.

【The Huaxia super battleship has a displacement of more than 80,000 tons and is equipped with nine 500mm main guns.

Whether in terms of tonnage or the main guns of the battleship, it can be called the world's first battleship.........】

These basic data were deliberately released by the Navy to the media.

These are not top secrets, and there is no need to hide them.

It is these data that are even more shocking.

More and more news has been reported to No. 10 Downing Street, including photos taken in Guangzhou and newspapers from the official Huaxia newspaper.

The Huaxia super battleship also made a shocking appearance at this time, causing shock to the whole world.

More than 80,000 tons, 500 mm naval guns.

These data are more terrifying than they guessed.

Don't look at them as just two numbers, but you can see a lot from these two numbers.

You must know that the heavier the tonnage, the higher the power required to drive the battleship.

Apart from anything else, for this displacement of more than 80,000 tons, at a speed of 20 knots.

At least 100,000 horsepower is required.

This is already the minimum limit.

The latest class of battleships in England, the two Nelson-class battleships that entered service in 1927, have a main engine power of only 45,000 shaft horsepower.

The main engine power of 100,000 shaft horsepower has shown that China has been ahead of them in terms of the power of the battleship.

The main engine power of the three Colorado-class battleships built by the United States is even lower, less than 30,000 shaft horsepower.

So 100,000 shaft horsepower, in 1935, is clearly visible.

Of course, with their ability, as long as they are given some time, they will definitely be able to build a steam turbine with the same horsepower or even greater power.

But this power is just their speculation, and it is still the minimum.

Only the Chinese know the specific amount.

Because this kind of data is top secret.

In addition, there are naval guns.

500mm caliber naval guns, this data is really scary.

You know, the larger the caliber of the naval gun, the higher the comprehensive industrial level of a country is required.

Just like the bear, their industrial level is second-rate, but it can also be regarded as an industrial country.

But they need to ask Italy for help to build a 180mm caliber main gun.

The 180mm main gun they made themselves has a lifespan of only 10 rounds, and even with reduced charge, it only has a lifespan of dozens of rounds.

From this, we can see how difficult it is to develop naval guns.

It is a severe test for materials, design capabilities, and manufacturing processes.

It is necessary to take into account power, range, life, weight, rate of fire, cost, and so on.

Even England has a hard time manufacturing naval guns with a caliber of more than 400mm.

And they have never thought about naval guns with a caliber of more than 500mm.

No ship can carry this weight alone.

You must know that the main gun needs to take into account the design of the entire warship at the beginning of its design.

Once it is too heavy, it will cause many problems. (To read the violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

For example, the center of gravity problem, etc. In short, this is a very complex systematic project.

It is not as simple as making a 500mm caliber main gun.

It tests the entire industrial system and technological level.

And the existence of this Huaxia super battleship.

Doesn't it mean that China has surpassed them in both industry and technology? []

This is impossible.

In 1933, the year before last, China was beaten by Japan and dared not fight back.

China handed over millions of square kilometers of land in the three northeastern provinces to the Japanese.

At that time, China was just an agricultural country.

The annual output of steel could not even produce the steel needed to build a battleship.

And China only completed its unification last year.

In other words, China has the ability to build such a super battleship in just two years?

This is impossible.

Let alone, the construction time required for this battleship of more than 80,000 tons will take at least three years.

If calculated from the process of design, construction, launching, sea trials, outfitting, and service, it will take at least five years.

In other words, the construction of this battleship began at least in 1929.

This shows that this battleship was not built by China itself.

It was built by the mysterious force behind Jiang Fan.

But this also shocked them even more.

What kind of power was it that could start building a battleship of more than 80,000 tons four or five years ago.

And where did their technology come from, where did the materials come from, and where is the shipbuilding base?

These are all mysteries, and they are world mysteries.

But no matter what, this battleship now belongs to China.

This is enough for them to pay attention to it.

Even if China cannot build this kind of battleship, it will definitely have this ability in the future.

It is not difficult to see from the support of the forces behind Jiang Fan.

These technologies will definitely be transferred to China.

Thereby promoting the shipbuilding capabilities of China's shipbuilding industry.

Downing Street discussed for a long time without discussing anything.

They began to be more and more wary of China

"We must put away our pride and re-examine this oriental country.

If we continue to look at them with the same eyes as before, we will definitely suffer a great loss."

McDonald's health was very poor at the moment, but he still insisted on attending this meeting.

These words came from the mouth of him, the ruler of the world's first empire.

It also represents the attitude of the whole of England.

Although some ministers still disdain China.

But they have to admit that China has indeed begun to rise.

And although the Eagle Sauce also disliked a lot of waves.

But they still chose to hang high.

America, where isolationism prevails, seems to care little about anything happening in the outside world.

But everyone in the White House knows that their neighbors on the other side of the Pacific already have the ability to threaten them.

The third stop of the Huaxia battleship was the Bangkok Port in Siam (No Money).

When the Huaxia battleship arrived.

The King of Siam brought all his ministers to warmly welcome the arrival of Chen Shaokuan and others.

When they looked at the Huaxia super battleship, their eyes were even more���Full of fanaticism and admiration.

After the Huaxia battleship docked, the situation began to become delicate.

Don't just dock at Bangkok Port.

You can't just look at the surface.

Everyone knows what's going on in Southeast Asia now, and Huaxia naturally can't not know it.

Southeast Asian countries, led by Ares and Siam, betrayed England and France.

They drove them out of Southeast Asia, even annihilated their fleets and captured their soldiers.

Their interests in the Far East were seriously damaged, and Britain and France lost face.

Choosing to dock in Bangkok at such a time may not be without the intention of standing on the platform.

If these Southeast Asian countries get the support of Huaxia, then it may be difficult for them to take back these colonies in Southeast Asia.

It can only be said that Huaxia is really good at choosing the time.

Huaxia has already expressed its position, and Southeast Asian countries will definitely choose to surrender.

Because Huaxia has shown enough strength.

This also means that they may have to completely take over this territory.
