On the English side, after a short meeting, the English side was thinking about another problem!
Where did Huaxia get this battleship?
Currently, the only countries in the world that could manufacture battleships were England, Gallic Chicken, Chariot Nation, Pisa Nation, America, and Japan!
Other countries such as West Mantis could only build super dreadnought ships, but they could not build treaty-type warships like battleships!
Therefore, the first thing that came to English's mind was that the Sunset that appeared in China might be an experimental ship secretly built by America for experiments!
It wasn't the first time that great powers sold experimental weapons to each other for actual combat. For example, during the civil war in Western Mantis, the English, the Chariot, and the Gallic Chicken all sold their new weapons to both sides in Western Mantis to test the performance of the weapons in actual combat!
It was impossible for the Gallic Chicken to be under their noses. It was the same for the Chariot Nation. The Pisa Nation's shipbuilding was like a joke. The Japanese and China were at war. The only possibility was that it was the M Nation!
Therefore, after discussing with Chang Shenkai, he immediately asked Chang Shenkai to hand over the Sunset and asked for the seller's information and design drawings.
Of course, asking for the design blueprint was just asking for an exorbitant price. The bottom line for English was to let their people onboard the Sunset to study it. However, this kind of negotiation was asking for an exorbitant price!
M Nation had a similar reaction!
At present, the United States did not have the confidence to challenge the position of the world overlord of England. Therefore, when they saw the appearance of the new warship, John Bull, who was probably the first to stir up trouble, stabbed his hand into the eastern countries. The two sides began to fight openly and secretly over the Sunset!
Both sides had a tacit understanding and did not ask for compensation. They only asked for the Sunset!
At the same time, both sides were urging the intelligence personnel in China to send the photos of the Sunset back to China as soon as possible!
And this time, the only country that did not participate in the Shanghai port incident was the War Chariot Nation!
However, after the news was sent back to the War Chariot Nation, Shortie carefully read the battle report, and his eyes gradually lit up!
A single battleship could easily destroy a fleet of four heavy cruisers, and it could even land in the harbor. This made Shortie, who had not paid much attention to the navy, turn his attention to the navy!
In the end, they decided to make some changes in a plan called Plan Z. For example, the caliber of the cannon had to reach 406mm!
The international situation became tense again because of the sudden appearance of a battleship!
All the ambitious countries were making significant changes to the warships they were building overnight!
Some countries had already built giant battleships that weighed 50,000 tons, and their main cannons had reached 406 millimeters!
Therefore, some of the original shipbuilding plans were abandoned one after another!
A new round of naval competition had begun in the world. Heavy artillery ships had become the mainstream of the era!
However, these things had nothing to do with Yu Zhiqian!
Yu Zhiqian had just returned to his base!
Before they entered the base, they saw a ship docked in the dock!
New Orleans-class heavy cruiser!
This was the 10,000-ton warship that Yu Zhiqian had drawn after completing the mission!
It was also a warship from America!
It was the last treaty-type cruiser built by the M Nation, and it was also the most outstanding among all treaty-type cruisers!
The standard displacement was 10,000 tons, and the full-load displacement was 12,000 tons!
The New Orleans-class cruiser in Yu Zhiqian's port was probably a late version of the Second World War. It used a triple 203mm caliber main cannon (four double main cannons before the Second World War).
The secondary cannons were eight 127mm calibers single cannons!
In addition, it was also equipped with 24 40mm anti-air cannons and 26 20mm anti-aircraft cannons as anti-air weapons!
It had two catapults at the front and back, and could carry four carrier-based aircraft!
After seeing this heavy cruiser, Yu Zhiqian's face revealed a smile!
When others went out to fight, they would fight fewer and fewer battleships, but when he went out to fight, he would fight more and more battleships!
He still had 70,000 points, close to 80,000 points, which was enough for him to build a complete fleet in a short period of time!
The first thing he did when he returned to the port was to name the new cruiser!
Yu Zhiqian thought for a moment and decided not to call the cruiser Sun Extermination. Instead, he used the New Origin. After 42 years, this name appeared in the Chinese Navy's battle sequence again!
Although it had been forty-two years, the enemy had not changed!
Yu Zhiqian was confident that he could change the fate of this Zhiyuan!
After Yu Zhiqian named it, a ray of light flashed on the warship's side, and the words 'New Origin' appeared. Then, it became very heavy, as if these two words had been deposited for decades!
After naming the warship, Yu Zhiqian got to know the commander of the warship and ordered Xinzhi Yuan to go to the island to investigate. Then, he returned to his naval base!
He was preparing to upgrade his naval base!
A first-class naval base could only build warships that weighed less than ten thousand tons, which obviously could not meet Yu Zhiqian's needs!
