"Our navy achieved satisfactory results in this war, but we did not completely defeat our opponent. Because of the intervention of the British and French, we fell short and gave the opponent a chance to breathe. And now, the Greeks

Want to reorganize their naval armaments, the latest chapter of the online game Killer

.They decided to purchase Dreadnoughts from the Republic of China. If we let the other side do this, then today’s Greece will be tomorrow’s Turkey. We must prevent Greece from acquiring Chinese Dreadnoughts, or we also buy new warships!” Turkish Navy Commander

He wrote this in a letter to the Sultan.

Faced with the sudden crisis, the Turks could not think of a good solution for a while. For the same reason, Greece could not obtain new warships from Britain and France, and Turkey could not obtain dreadnoughts from Germany and Italy. And if the Chinese Republic was persuaded to give up this

A deal is obviously impossible. Who is Turkey? Why should the Republic of China listen to you? As for competing with the Greeks, this is obviously not advisable. China will be in the future

It plans to launch four Dreadnoughts in a few years. Can Turkey eat all four of them at once? That is impossible! Even if Turkey and Greece share the four battleships equally, Turkey's advantage will become very limited.

, after all, the two King-class armored cruisers are too weak. More importantly, Turkey has just finished a war and its treasury is empty. Greece has two financial backers, Britain and France, and Germany is not as rich as Britain and France.

If you can't solve the problem yourself, you have to go to the boss. The Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs quickly sent a letter to the German Embassy, ​​asking the Germans to communicate with the Chinese government to see if the transaction can be suspended or delayed. After all, the Germans just patted their chests not long ago.

Promise yourself that Turkey will get brand new dreadnoughts from China, and they will be equipped with larger

The caliber guns have thicker armor and have higher speeds. If it can't be stopped, it can be delayed. When their new Dreadnoughts are in place, the impact of Long Xu and Long Quan's entry into the Greek Navy will be nothing.

There is only so much in the Aegean Sea, and it might be a decisive battle when you go out. Hard power determines everything, and there is no place to run if you want to!

Of course, if it doesn't work, Turkey decides to order a warship from China to maintain the balance of power, and then wait for the arrival of new warships. But this is the final plan. Before the Germans reply, Turkey does not want to take such action.

When the news was sent to the Germans, the Germans did not take it seriously. In Tirpitz's view, this was just a remedial action taken by Greece after being stimulated. Not to mention when it would be bought back.

Even if you buy it back, it doesn't mean that it will cause trouble in Turkey immediately.

The Germans really want to strengthen Turkey's navy, after all, it is in the Indian Ocean. The Turkish Navy and the German Far East Fleet are the core of the Allied maritime power. Because of this, Germany went out on its own to ask the Chinese Navy to design a brand new dreadnought for the Turkish fleet. In Germany

In people's eyes, although the Longxu-class battlecruisers and Longquan-class battleships ushered in an era, these battleships will soon become obsolete. Spending a lot of money on an outdated battleship is obviously not in line with the maritime interests of the Allies.

.

However, the Germans still paid more attention to Turkey's requirements. On the one hand, they asked China to delay the delivery of warships as much as possible, and on the other hand, they asked the Austro-Hungarian Empire to help Turkey defend the Aegean Sea. At this time, the British Mediterranean Fleet no longer looked like

As powerful as before. The British changed their deployment and prepared to

The strength shrank to the mainland. The Italian fleet maintained a balance with France in terms of the number of new warships. Therefore, there was no problem for the Austro-Hungarian Empire to independently suppress the Greek fleet. Therefore, Germany asked the Austro-Hungarian Empire to give the Turkish Empire a commitment to guarantee Turkey's interests in the Aegean Sea in order to persuade

The main force of the Turkish fleet moved to the Persian Gulf.

Taking this opportunity, the German government still sent a note to the government of the Chinese Republic, asking the Chinese Republic to start fulfilling its previous commitments. Although it is not required to start shipbuilding now, the preliminary design and demonstration work must begin. The reply from the Chinese Republic is also

very simple,

First of all, the German government must solve the problem of steam turbines and artillery. The British government has sent a note to the Chinese government. The steam turbine and artillery related technologies sold by the British to the Chinese government cannot be used on German warships, otherwise both parties will be cut off from this.

Technical exchanges on similar equipment.

Obviously, although the Chinese government is pro-German on the issue of sea power, it does not mean that it will sacrifice its own interests for the Germans. This led to the Germans suddenly discovering that they had considerable problems in the research and development of subsystems.

You know, in history, the Kaiser-class battleships only began to have Germany's own steam turbines, and the 14-inch class naval guns did not arrive until the end of the war.

None of them were installed on battleships. Although the Germans jumped to the technology tree and used 15-inch naval guns on Bavaria. But Bavaria came out too late and had no ability to change the war at all. Although the Germans on this plane

The development of heavy artillery and steam turbines was still lagging behind, but under external pressure, the Germans finally began to catch up.

However, at the request of the Germans, the Chinese Republic must come up with a relatively reliable design plan before September 1907, and the first battleship must be completed before 1911. Now the Germans have realized that time is running out.

, now Russia is under

The Germans were seriously injured and were in the recovery period. The Germans were also accumulating strength. The Kaiser wanted to go to war when his strength was at its peak and Russia had not fully recovered. Therefore, he had to ensure that the pace of military expansion of the entire Allies was consistent with his own plan.

The domineering wife.[

The Chinese Republic is still very serious about this suggestion. It’s not that Germany’s influence is great, but the potential business opportunities are too great. Apart from anything else, the Chinese Republic itself will gradually replace the current situation in the next 6 years or so.

Some Dreadnought fleets will have at least 4 or more new Dreadnought ships in service. According to Xu Jie’s own estimation, before 1912

, the world's dreadnoughts will enter the 14-inch era, and 15-inch guns and even larger 16-inch guns were basically unable to enter service before 1915 due to technical difficulties. The Chinese Republic cannot wait until the 15-inch gun is developed before updating it.

My own battleship. And judging from the first battle, except for dealing with a few heaven-defying existences, the 14-inch gun is almost enough.

In addition to their own use, there are many potential customers in the world who are also very likely to order new warships. Historically, Argentina and Brazil in South America each ordered two Dreadnoughts, and Chile ordered one Super Dreadnought.

.Turkey ordered 1 super-Dreadnought and 1 Dreadnought. Even Greece planned to order a Dreadnought. In that era, if a country with a certain territorial sea area did not even have a Dreadnought, you would

I’m too embarrassed to come out and make soy sauce!

At present, Turkey's dreadnoughts will definitely be ordered from China. The German Far East Fleet's dreadnoughts will also be produced by the Republic of China, among other things. These two orders alone have a quantity of 3 to 4 ships, with a total value of more than 10 million.

Pounds! (well, of which

Part of it will be used to repay the compensation for the Scharnhorst-class pocket battlecruiser.) The three countries in South America will also purchase new warships as they did historically. If possible, Xu Jie would like to make the warships produced and designed by China sell well in the five countries.

Continents and four oceans.

Some people may want to say, have you produced so many warships? Your own navy needs to be updated, plus those for Turkey and the German Far East Fleet, the number has reached about 8. Do you want to get other orders? In fact,

Let’s think about it carefully. If the history is still that the war started in 1914, there will still be 8 years before the war starts, and the warship production plans for other countries (except Turkey and Germany) can still be arranged after 1914. Anyway, South America b

Three countries will not participate in World War I.

We must know that in history, Germany started construction of up to 5 Dreadnoughts in a year at the same time, while Britain only had 7! At this time, although the Chinese Republic was compared with France and Britain and Germany, the explosive construction of 3 ships in a year was not a big problem.

After all, the foundation of China's new shipyard began after the Sino-Japanese War of 1895. Historically, Japan's

They have already built the largest battleships in the world, such as the Fuso-class 12-gun super-dreadnoughts! Since Japan could do it at that time, there is no reason why the Chinese Republic, which has much better conditions now, cannot do it. And China has already produced dreadnoughts.

We have enough experience. If we spend more than 2 years expanding the shipyard and then starting construction of new warships, there shouldn’t be much of a problem.

In fact, Xu Jie also had an idea in his mind that he could not tell outsiders, and this idea also originated from the British approach in World War I. After the outbreak of World War I, the British decisively seized two battleships that were originally going to be handed over to Turkey.

And we also seized a battleship that was originally going to be given to Chile and a battleship that was going to be given to Canada. If you say not to give it to Canada, forget it. After all, Canada is a member of the Commonwealth, so it’s easy for everyone to say, so you just seized the other three ships.

Battleships are a bit unreasonable.

Moreover, Churchill's actions directly led to a very serious consequence, that is, Turkey fell to Germany and Austria, and eventually caused Russia to completely lose foreign aid from Europe, and eventually gave birth to a huge red empire. It was precisely because of Churchill's approach

, which led to the birth of the red empire that he had hated for his whole life! Fortune plays tricks on people.

Xu Jie plans to learn from what this prime minister has done. The Chinese Republic must ensure that it has a large enough fleet on hand. This fleet does not need to belong to itself, but it must be quickly armed in a short period of time. As long as the ship is on hand,

In addition to accepting certain compensation afterwards, those third-rate countries in my hands

I'm afraid there is no other choice. For example, there are currently 7 Dreadnoughts in the Chinese Navy, and 3 of them were ordered by foreign countries. If something suddenly happens, the Chinese government will intercept these three warships when necessary to combat potential threats.

.And there is no need to ask about this threat. There is only one threat at present, and that is the United States, which has also started to violently invade!

It is true that the Republic of China cannot do anything to the United States. The United States is now far stronger than China, but the Republic of China will never allow the United States to include Hawaii into its territory! This is absolutely not allowed. Whoever controls Hawaii will

Can control the situation in the Pacific! In order for the Chinese Republic to control the Western Pacific, Hawaii must at least remain independent and pro-China. But fortunately, China does not have to consider confronting the United States all the time. As soon as World War I begins, the United States' energy must turn to Europe, and the Far East will naturally
