The American Eagle class light cruiser had a full displacement of 5,800 tons. It was equipped with three triple-mounted 155mm rapid-fire naval guns, four double-mounted 105mm rapid-fire sub-cannons on both sides, six single-mounted 88mm sub-cannons, and eight 40mm sub-cannons. The thickness of the armor was 115mm, the deck was 50mm, the turret and command tower were 115mm, and the maximum speed was 28 knots.
Constellation-class heavy cruiser, 10,800 tons, equipped with three triple-mounted 210mm main guns, four double-mounted 150mm sub-guns, four double-mounted 105mm sub-guns, eight 88mm rapid-fire guns, twelve 40mm rapid-fire guns, and six 457mm medium-sized torpedoes. The power would be a triple-expansion reciprocation steam engine with a maximum speed of 26 knots. In terms of armor, the waterline armor was 210mm, the deck armor was 50mm, and the turret armor and commander tower armor were also 210mm.
In Liu Chuan's plan, 36 A-class Destroyers were to be built. Next, they would make improvements and build B-class and C-class destroyer.
36 light cruisers were also needed.‘The American Eagle class light cruiser was only the first model, and six would be built.
As for the Constellation-class heavy cruisers, 12 would be built. In the future, they would also make improvements and build more heavy cruisers.
Combined with the new battleships of the German Empire's navy, or even battlecruisers, the fleet would be able to withstand the attack. The navy of the Germanic Empire would build a powerful fleet with new battleships.
This fleet would become the main fleet of the Germanic Empire's Royal Navy that would dominate the world's oceans in the future.
Originally, with the financial resources of the Germanic Empire, it was undoubtedly very difficult to achieve such a goal. However, he also received Liu Chuan's support. Every year, they could receive at least 200 million marks or more from the August Mining Company, and the German Navy would have more funds to build more warships, ensuring that the German Navy could quickly catch up with the Royal Navy of the Sun Never Sets Empire.
"Your Majesty, from now on, the navy will conduct a demonstration of these warships. After confirming that there were no problems, they would formulate a construction plan. The Empire's navy would definitely be able to grow stronger quickly.”Count Tirpitz was also full of confidence in the future of the German Empire's navy.
The other admirals were the same. big
Everyone believed that with the Emperor's support, they would definitely win the war in the future.
"Everyone, the Royal Navy of the Sun Never Sets Empire has a deep foundation. It is far more powerful than we imagined. It would not be easy to defeat them. In addition to developing the surface warships, the Imperial Navy also needed to strengthen its underwater forces. Over the years, the Imperial Navy had begun to explore the use of submarines. However, this was not enough. From now on, the dynasty had to increase its investment in this area!”Liu Chuan said.
The German Empire was definitely the first country in the world to develop the military use of submarines.
In other words, the entire western world was developing it.
However, due to the performance of the submarine and the unclear location of its use. This caused many countries to give up on submarines. In other words, they did not pay much attention to submarines.
Only Liu Chuan knew how terrifying these killers hiding underwater were.
Especially for the Germanic Empire, a powerful submarine force would be indispensable. It could even become a weapon for the Germanic Empire's navy to deal a heavy blow to the Royal Navy of the Sun Never Sets Empire, and even the entire Sun Never Sets Empire.
"The dynasty wants to design and build a large ocean-going submarine that can carry out missions overseas for a long time. Not only could they attack local ships by diving, but they could also attack the enemy's sea transportation lines. They could even sneak into the enemy's military port and attack the enemy's warships. In this way, not only could they effectively attack the enemy's naval forces, but they could also deal a blow to the enemy's economy and war potential!”Liu Chuan continued.
Count Tirpitz nodded repeatedly.
Previously, the upper echelons of the German Empire's navy did not pay much attention to submarines, thinking that these small gadgets that could only hide underwater were not very useful.
However, after hearing Liu Chuan's words, they immediately understood that this weapon seemed to have great power and could pose a great threat to the enemy.
"The submarine is a very effective weapon that can help the disadvantaged party to cause greater threat and damage to the enemy.
Facing the Imperial Navy of the Sun Never Sets, the Imperial Navy was undoubtedly at a disadvantage. Therefore, we can only use this method. I hope that when the war breaks out in the future, the Imperial Navy will already be equipped with more than a hundred submarines that can travel on long-distance routes. This way, we can completely destroy the sea transportation route of the people of Sun Never Sets.
The Sun Never Sets Empire was also a country made up of islands. Most of its resources were imported from overseas. Once the sea transportation line is cut off by our submarine force, the consequences will be obvious.”
Liu Chuan smiled.
He hoped that in the future, the Germanic Empire's navy could rely on the submarine force and the destruction fleet to cut off the overseas trade routes of the Empire. At that time, the Sun Never Sets Empire would suffer an extremely heavy blow and might even be strangled to death!
