For example, the cost of the Lion battle cruiser is 2.08 million pounds, and the cost of Queen Mary, the Grand Princess and the Tiger is also at this level. Among them, the most expensive is 2.1 million pounds. What was the cost of the German battle cruiser at the same time? Historically, the cost of the Deflinger was 56 million marks, Lucoff was 58 million marks, and the Mark and Hindenburg were 60 million marks. Excluding the later Hindenburg, which was in service, the cost of a Deflinger was about 2.7 million to 2.8 million pounds! It is nearly 40% more expensive than the British battle cruiser.

It is true that the British have many captains and fierce competition, which is true. The cost is also lower due to the competition between shipyards. Compared with the more complex relationships within Germany, the British are indeed more efficient, but no matter how efficient it is, they are not as effective as this?

Everyone is a first-class power. At the same time, when they built warships of the same level, why is a German battle cruiser so much more expensive than the British? This is unscientific! I really think that the so-called "system" advantage can reach the level of ignoring physics and objective laws? What are you thinking?! God can't do this!

Let’s compare De Fringer with the Lion, which has similar to the tonnage, because the German battlecruiser uses a small boiler and the power is much smaller when the output is low. For artillery, everyone has 4 turrets, and the proportion of artillery production is not very high in the proportion of the entire weapon. The key is to have various servos (after all, the Queen’s 15-inch cannon seems to be only 15,000 pounds per.)

What is the real difference in cost? The armor is poor. The weight of the lion's armor is about one-quarter of the entire warship, about 6,000 tons, and what about De Fringer? The weight of the armor is about 9,000 tons! Nearly 40%! It is nearly 3,000 tons heavier than you! The cost model of the tons of armor is about 100 to 150 pounds! It is almost the highest if sold by kilogram. The armor weight of the German battleship is nearly 50% higher than that of the British! Can they not be strong? British battlecruisers save money and armor, who will die if you don't die?

The same article is also done by Germans, but they think it is a fool, so they stopped playing like this. Look at the cost of battle cruisers on both sides in the early days of history. The cost of New Zealand and Australia was about 1.78 million pounds. Moltke and Goben were about 41 million to 42 million marks, about 2 million pounds. It was quite cheap. The cost of Moltke to Deflinger increased by 40%! What is the reason? Is it really much more expensive to have 8 12-inch guns than 10 11-inch l50 guns?

Power system? Please, in terms of boiler quantity, DeFringe is not as good as Moltke. Although Moltke's theoretical output is not high, the actual output is higher than DeFringe. Moltke's power cost is more expensive, which is in line with reality. In fact, the cost is just the difference in armor. Moltke's 1.8-meter 270mm armor belt is so good that it is comparable to DeFringe's 300mm conscience armor belt?

Perhaps the officers of the Royal Navy who were sitting in the British Royal Navy could not have such similar data, nor would they have the perspective of time travelers. However, everyone understands this principle, but it is just secret. As for what Fisher said, everyone just hums first and looks like waiting for the following words.

Fisher, as the main "chef", naturally understood this poisonous chicken soup. After a little embarrassed, he added: "The Japanese Fuso-class battleship cost about 3 million pounds in total, and they referred to the German design, so I think the Fuso-class battleship should have a high combat effectiveness." Well, that's it.

"3 million pounds, this is indeed a bit too much." Jericho said, touching his chin. The so-called "Everyone loves and understands every line, and can be the commander of the large fleet. Jericho's understanding of the navy is naturally not limited to his large fleet, as well as the warehouses and officers and soldiers of the large fleet. He must still understand some of the reasons for the construction and economics of warships. What is the concept of 3 million pounds before the war? Basically, if you can spend so much money to build a normal warship, the performance will definitely be bad, after all, it is real material!

Why is it called a normal warship? Because there are still abnormal warships in this world. For example, Russia, the cost of a Russian Gangut or Queen Mary is similar to that of a queen, and may even be higher! The cost of more than 2.5 million pounds can only be built with a warship with a low speed, only 12 12-inch cannons, with average firepower and defensive garbage. It is impossible to say that there is no trick!

It is said that the construction fee list of a Russian battleship actually contains the cost of building a palace by the Russian Tsar. Another purpose of jointly building a warship is to reimburse the Tsar and the nobles. Just for this, the Tsar Russia took jujube pills! Even so, the cost of the Russian battleship was not more than 3 million pounds!

Exported warships will also be more expensive. For example, the King Kong-class battleship sold by the UK to Japan. In terms of performance, this product is only at the same level as the lion and tigers, and may be slightly better. However, the cost is 2.5 million pounds. Considering that the tiger's cost is only 2.1 million pounds, the UK's knife is ruthless enough.

Of course, if Japan built this level of warships themselves, it would definitely not be at this price. Although the British had an advantage in the shipbuilding industry as a whole, the labor cost of Japan was low. Shipbuilding was also a labor-intensive industry, and labor costs accounted for a large part! If this Fuso-class battleship really cost 3 million pounds and was a self-employed warship, to be honest, Jericho felt that even the poor designers of the Royal Admiralty could definitely create a good first-class warship.

The less bad design and enough real money, tell me that the battleships I made are not good at fighting power? Don't joke, okay? This is a violation of objective laws! Thinking of this, Jericho first agreed with Fisher's words, but to be honest, he did not pay attention to the details of the construction of Japanese naval warships, so he also wanted to know how the Japanese built this class of warships.

"Since everyone is interested in Japanese warships and also in the characteristics of German warships, I hope to invite Mr. Incote, the chief designer of the Royal Navy, to introduce to us this class of Japanese warships and the German bloodline on them at tomorrow's meeting!" Churchill said.

To be honest, today's meeting has been very stiff since now. Both sides are tit-for-tat and do not give in. This is not about solving the problem, but about provoking the problem. Therefore, as the central minister of the Navy, Churchill must coordinate the relationship between the two sides and find a topic that everyone is interested in.
