While Chen Houfu was explaining, Zhang Xueming was also screening various warships.
Until the confirmation was complete.
However, Zhang Xueming needed to think of a way to let these future big shots know more clearly the parameters of the ocean overlord that they were about to control.
At the very least, he had to know the general outline.
Therefore, he took out a large piece of papyrus and began to draw the appearance of the battleships on it.
At first, Chen Houfu and the others couldn't keep up with the young general's train of thought.
Why did they suddenly become like little chicks eating rice?
However, he gradually realized that something was wrong.
When the first piece of paper was drawn, although the style was not good, everyone could clearly recognize it.
This was a destroyer!
Moreover, it completely surpassed the powerful surface warships owned by the western powers!
Other than Zhang Xueming, everyone present was a top student who had studied abroad.
His knowledge of Western warships far exceeded that of ordinary people.
Therefore, he was very clear.
The destroyer on this map was like a powerful weapon from another dimension!
"Young... Young General…May I ask which country's new equipment is this?”
Even the usually calm Chen Houfu's voice was trembling.
Zhang Xueming did not stand on ceremony.
So what if he plagiarized the design of other countries 'advanced equipment?
Wasn't there a lack of plagiarism in the past few thousand years?
"It's not from any country. I designed it out of boredom. Let's call it Mantis Shrimp No. 1 first. However, I have a rough idea of the weapon parameters.”
As he spoke, Zhang Xueming pointed at the sub-cannon of the naval gun and then gave the general parameters according to the introduction of the Mahan-class destroyer.
"Full load displacement of 2300 tons.”
"There are about 240 members.”
"Four single-barrel 101.6mm main cannons.”
"Three 515.4mm Torpedo Tubes.”
"36.5 knots per hour."
He listened to the sky-shattering parameters.
One of the brothers probably had a weak heart and could not withstand such a huge shock. His face turned ashen as he fell to the ground.
However, none of the waiters beside him went up to help him pinch his philtrum. All of them were careful not to miss a single word.
"Was this really designed by you, Young General? Regardless of whether it could be built or not, even if the patent was bought in the West, it would be a mountain of gold and silver!”
Zhang Xueming waved his hand casually and began to draw the second warship.
In terms of shape, it was even more exaggerated than the previous destroyer.
Just by looking at the size of the cannon, one could tell that it was huge.
Northampton-class cruiser
"Mantis Shrimp No. 2, full displacement of 9300 tons.”
"There are about 600 members.”
"Nine 55 times caliber 203mm main cannons.”
"8 127mm sub-cannons with 25x caliber.”
"2 catapults, able to take off and land 2 seaplanes.”
"30 knots per hour."
Zhang Xueming said casually.
In his opinion, these cold numbers were difficult to form a specific combat strength in his mind.
However, in the eyes of Chen Houfu and the others,
It was f * cking ridiculous!
Battleships couldn't be made stronger just by adding cannons.
It involved geometry, physics, gravity, and countless other disciplines.
Even though it was only on a piece of paper, experts could still tell that this cruiser was not a random drawing.
Other than the sound of swallowing, the reception room was completely silent.
They stared blankly at the papyrus and then at Zhang Xueming.
He wanted to say something, but he couldn't even say a word.
If there really was a genius in the world.
Perhaps it was the young general.
"There's one last one. This piece of paper is too small. We need three pieces of paper to join together. As you know, battleships are larger.”
The moment he heard the word battleship.
The man who had a heart attack earlier did a carp-up and stared at the papyrus on the table.
He sat up in shock while he was dying!
It couldn't be helped. The words battleship were too much of a shock to those who were committed to developing the Yan Huang Navy.
It was no less than an unmarried and infertile girlfriend suddenly giving birth to twins.
" Mantis Shrimp No. 3, battleship."
"Full-load displacement of 55700 tons.”
"There are about 1800 members.”
"9 3-unit 50 times caliber 406mm main cannons.”
"20 two-seater 38 times caliber 127mm flat-fire cannons.”
"60 40mm anti-aircraft guns.”
"Two catapults, capable of landing three seaplanes.”
"There are a lot of things like torpedoes and machine guns.”
The Iowa-class battleship was the most advanced of the three.
It was more than ten years ahead of the world.
Of course, it was also the most expensive.
There was no doubt about the strength of these three types of surface ships.
The money spent on the production line of the foreign fighter jets was not enough to buy their production line.
He had to pay a total of seven million silver dollars.
Fortunately, during this period of time, he had been scamming the merchants of the foot basin. Also, during the Battle of the Guards, he had destroyed Scholar Wu's lair.
Otherwise, he really wouldn't be able to take out seven million silver dollars in a short period of time.
But then again.
Such a powerful weapon was similar to the No. 1 tank and the Fighter.
They had to choose their development path.
The Armored Corps had temporarily chosen Hans 'technology tree.
Air Force temporarily chose John's technology tree.
For the surface ships, the White Eagle technology tree was temporarily selected.
When he exchanged for the next generation, the fee would also be reduced.
After all, this kind of consumption was really unbearable.
"Young General is really a god. I, Chen Houfu, have never paid anyone in so many years. Young General is the first. Such an advanced concept design, I dare say that it is at least ten years ahead of the entire world!”
More than ten years?
Mantis Shrimp No. 1, 2, 3 sounded funny.
However, the degree of advancement was astounding. If the senior engineers of the foreign powers saw these blueprints, they would definitely kneel down.
However, Chen Houfu's mood became even heavier.
The descendants of Yan and Huang had never truly had the heart of a child and were filled with hot blood.
However, he had missed out on several industrial revolutions. How could it be easy to catch up?
"Sigh, I hope that in my lifetime, I will be able to see them guard the seas for my Yan Huang. Today, we have completely witnessed the talent of the young general. Please rest assured that we will not reveal anything we have seen or heard.”
Zhang Xueming waved his hand." Brother Chen, you've misunderstood. Our Feng Army wants to start building a modern navy, but we're all old and uncouth landlubbers with no experience at all. That's why we want you to be navy generals.”
Chen Houfu and the others had actually heard similar suggestions many times.
Now, in the Land of Yan Huang, all the factions had extended olive branches.
As for the navy?
Heh.
She just wanted to make a few famous top students studying abroad look like flower vases.
At most, they would give some coastal defense ships for show, and their displacement would not be able to match the torpedoes of the great powers.
Could Zhang Yuting be exempted?
Chen Houfu exchanged glances with his friends, saying nothing.
Of course, he had to reject her. However, for the sake of the young general, it was better not to reject her too directly.
" Uh, thank you for your kindness, Young General, but as we've just explained, to become a navy general, we need a few passable destroyer ships. Therefore, the Feng Army, which has always been focused on land warfare, is not suitable for us.”
Chen Houfu's excuse was perfect.
Even if Old Zhang really went to other countries to buy warships.
It would take time to buy it back, right?
His brothers had already run away.
However…
They had met Zhang Xueming.
"Everyone misunderstood again. Let me finish.”
"To be honest, the construction of the new port has been completed. It is a natural ice-free port that can dock large water and underwater ships.”
" As for the ships, there are indeed not that many. The three ships that were drawn before are each one, but please rest assured, I will get the Anshan Munitions Factory to process and smelt large steel plates as soon as possible-"
"Sigh! Brother Chen, why are you foaming?"
