" According to the information we have, the Dreadnaught of the Sun Never Sets will have a displacement of more than 21,000 tons, a maximum speed of 21 knots, and five 45 times caliber 305mm main guns. The main armor thickness is 279mm.”Liu Chuan introduced to everyone.
"A full heavy artillery battleship? The people of Sun Never Sets were going to design a battleship with full heavy artillery and no second-class main cannons?”Count Tirpitz immediately came back to his senses.
The other admirals also realized this.
"Yes, a full heavy artillery battleship. It can concentrate eight main cannons and fire at one side. Such firepower would be very powerful. Once the people of Sun Never Sets started to build these battleships on a large scale. Then, what is the use of the battleships that we have already commissioned and built?”Liu Chuan asked.
The admirals fell silent. They understood this.
"Stop building the Braunschweig-class battleships and the Germany-class battleships, or even dismantle them and use these resources to build our new battleships. In this way, we will be able to compete with the Sun Never Sets in the competition of new battleships, not falling behind them in the slightest. In fact, he might even be stronger than them." Liu Chuan continued.
" Your Majesty, this way, we can indeed save a lot of resources and invest them into the new naval arms race of the Empire that Never Sets On The Same Sun. It could even be said that both sides had returned to the same starting point. Our chances of catching up to the people of Sun Never Sets will be even greater.”Count Tirpitz's previous anger had completely disappeared, replaced by incomparable excitement.
The other admirals also knew this point. If the navy of the Germanic Empire could be on par with the Royal Navy of the Empire of Never Setting Sun in the aspect of battleships, the navy of the Germanic Empire would be able to achieve the same result. In that case, the possibility of them defeating the Imperial Navy of the Sun Never Sets Empire in future wars would be even greater than now.
"Your Majesty, what about the battleships that are already in service?”Admiral Vonpole asked.
"Battleships that are already in service should continue to be in service. At this stage, the dynasty's navy also needed a batch of warships to maintain the dynasty's interests. In fact, after we defeat the Royal Navy of the Sun Never Sets Empire, these warships can be used to bombard the Sun Never Sets Empire and cover our land forces!”Liu Chuan said with a smile.
"Hahaha!" The generals could not help but laugh.
There was no doubt that the Germanic Empire had already regarded the Empire of the Sun Never Sets as their greatest enemy. Landing in the Sun Never Sets Empire was the dream of the Empire's soldiers.
Of course, everyone should know that this would be an extremely difficult task.
In order to achieve this goal, the Germanic Empire Navy had to defeat the Royal Navy of the Empire of the Sun Never Sets first. Otherwise, everything would be empty talk.
"This is a warship I designed. You can organize experts to verify it. If there were no problems, the dynasty would be preparing to start construction!”Liu Chuan took out a warship design blueprint from his briefcase and placed it on the table.
A group of navy generals immediately gathered around. They were all experts in this field, but they were quickly shocked by this warship.
It was a very beautiful and powerful battleship.
" I'll name this battleship 'Nassau-class' battleship. It had a displacement of 22,000 tons and a maximum speed of 22 knots. It was equipped with three triple-mounted 305mm main cannons, 12 50mm sub-cannons, 16 88mm rapid-fire cannons, and 20 40mm rapid-fire cannons. The waterline, turret front and command tower armor were made of 305mm Krupp armor steel!”Liu Chuan introduced to everyone.
"Your Majesty, although we haven't proven it yet, we still need to find a way. However, if these performance conditions could be met, this was definitely a very powerful battleship, even more advanced than the Dreadnaught battleship of the Sun Never Sets.”Count Tirpitz praised.
"Yes, Your Majesty. Once we take the lead in mass-producing the new battleships, we'll be able to build them. Then, we will be able to surpass the people of Sun Never Sets in this aspect!”Admiral Van Boer said excitedly.
The other admirals were all smiles.
"However, there are still many problems to overcome in order to build this battleship. First, we have no way to produce a triple 50 times caliber 305mm main cannon. Inform Krupp to speed up their research and development. If the research and development cannot be successful within three years, then we will place orders with other companies. Rhein Metal had always wanted a share of the artillery business.”Liu Chuan said.
Krupp Company almost monopolized the artillery supply of the German Empire's army and navy, earning a lot of profits.
Now that the German Empire needed more advanced artillery, Krupp naturally had to go all out.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Count Tirpitz nodded.
" The other thing is the power. To make a battleship with a displacement of more than 20,000 tons reach a speed of more than 22 knots, a very strong power is needed. The Empire was still facing great difficulties in this aspect.”Liu Chuan said.
