After the battle ended, Xiao Jianfeng immediately sent a telegram to the northwest. In order to help him solve the problem, the strategic bomber group almost took off and now stayed in the hangar and returned to the northwest in the next few days.

After resolving the joint fleet of Britain and France in one fell swoop, it seemed that the situation in East Asia and even Asia became cheerful. China's great cause of unification was no longer worried about the constraints of Britain and France. Hong Kong, the concessions located in various parts of China, and even some actions on the Indochina Peninsula and Southeast Asia could also be carried out smoothly. For this reason, the General Staff made many preparations, and now, it is to make these preparations a reality, and a series of almost all will be rolled out.

The war report not only reported to the northwest, but also traveled across the entire hemisphere and came to Germany on the other end of the earth. The Navy was filled with joy, and Scher's appearance was perfect and stunning. However, the nine front dreadnoughts were used as sacrifices, and the maritime power of Britain and France in Asia was wiped out. For Germany and China, the strategic intention was very obvious. Not only Borneo, but also other places, the Dutch could no longer withstand the Chinese, and even Malacca was likely to go down.

When the news came back to the UK, they were wailing. They couldn't believe this fact. At the beginning, it was just some external news, which was specious and had poor reliability. However, those warships who were lucky enough to escape their lives in the pit dug by the Northwest and Schell fleet, after escaping the battlefield, ran back to Singapore without looking back and replied to the British mainland as quickly as possible, and confirmed the news.

The Admiralty and the Intelligence Agency knew that the small movements of the Northwest in Southeast Asia were exposed without understanding. Everyone knew it. Helping the Netherlands stabilize Southeast Asia and causing trouble for the Chinese. This was an established strategy, especially when the Chinese were eyeing Hong Kong. Give them some colors to see.

When they set out, everyone was full of confidence. At that time, the fleets of Britain and France could almost sweep across the entire East Asia. They all guessed the beginning. Without guessing the end, the German fleet came out of nowhere, and the combined fleets of the two countries were completely filled with the maritime power in Southeast Asia.

In Pontianak, there are still 10 or 20 warships in Singapore, but these warships may not have a super fearless displacement, and the combat effectiveness is even more different. The Southeast Asian intervention plan that was carefully prepared was suddenly turned upside down, and the situation in Asia was about to collapse. A powerful special-mix fleet would almost sweep across Asia. Not to mention that Hong Kong cannot defend itself, even Malacca and even India will become a problem.

What to do? All those who received the war report were panicked for a moment. Britain discovered for the first time that there were holes everywhere here. The demise of a fleet affected the situation in Asia. The most important thing was where the main battleship came out. The messages sent back were 6 ships and 3 ships. The intelligence department spent a lot of effort. After asking the surviving sailors in detail, they asked them to recall as much as possible and got a shocking answer. There were 9 warships of the super-Defensive Class, and there were many heavy patrols, mount patrols, destroyers, etc., in Asia, a huge warship with a total tonnage of more than 500,000 tons.

500,000 tons, a few years ago, perhaps the displacement of the world's top three. Even now, this tonnage is enough to move the navy's number one power. The Navy believes that the local fleet and fast fleet are not defending well, so that the German local fleet will run to Asia. In this way, the German local area will be a little empty. Maybe Britain can get some advantage. The words of the surviving officer, the captain of a light cruiser, and the deputy captain of the cruiser formation, made everyone nervous.

As a colonel-level naval officer, Charlie is one of the few who has been exposed to photos and models of German warships. Although the internal structure is not possible due to confidentiality, it is impossible to get the appearance. As long as the warship is driven out, there is no way to be secretive. The intelligence department will first take photos and then draw them into drawings for some major naval officers to watch, mainly to identify the other party's identities and use different methods reasonably in the battle.

Unlike most German warships, what happened? The telegram couldn't explain clearly that the officer had a certain painting skills. This battle was very impressive to him, especially the 8,000-ton patrol gun next to him, which was deeply memorable, just as if it was engraved in his mind.

The detailed drawings will be transported back to London in a month for archiving by intelligence agencies and in-depth research. The general basic structure will be sent back by telegram. As a naval officer, he does not know how to build ships, but the style of the armor belt, the appearance of the entire ship, the approximate width, length, the number and position of the main gun can be transmitted through telegrams.

The British Navy and the Navy Institute have been waiting for this information. After the more detailed telegrams were sent back, several senior warship designers began to draw and calculate the drawings. After some efforts, the rough renderings came out.

Sizes are all estimates, and the difference is probably not too big. When the data were listed, everyone was stunned. There were 15-inch naval guns, 10, double-mounted 5-turret, and a back-loaded design. There were 10 guns on the same side, with extremely high speed, suspected to be more than 24 knots, and the size is quite large, with a narrow hull. The rigid data can be reversed immediately in front of senior designers, and finally formed a relatively rigorous number, but no matter how you push it back, it is difficult to achieve this size.

Is the naval officer remembering the wrong way or their calculations are wrong? No one can answer this question. The Navy Minister was a little anxious and slapped the table and asked them to calculate the highest and lowest amounts according to possible results. When the result was taken to him, he couldn't help but take a breath of air conditioning. The full load displacement exceeded 42,000 tons, which was the lowest, 10 doors and 14 inches, reduced armor, and the speed was also kept around the knot. It was much smaller than the number revealed by the officer. The lowest one was already more than 42,000 tons, and the highest one even reached 47,000 tons.

It can be said that basically all the warships that Britain has built, or even the Queen Elizabeth-class that the British have high hopes for. This battleship, which is claimed to be a perfect combination of speed and protection, is even worse than this ship. The full load displacement will not exceed 30,000 tons, which is less than 10,000 tons of displacement, which is naturally crushed.

How is this possible? Not only did the Minister of the Navy say this, but everyone who is qualified to come here also said this, including those senior designers. The chief battleship designer sighed and said, "If it is according to the officer, the minimum number is that?"

What he is referring to is the lowest one, but he is more inclined to be close to 50,000 tons and which one is the lowest one. Basically, a lot of data are fantasy. Although it looks reasonable, the designer is very clear that this is almost impossible to achieve. By then, 50,000 tons, which is higher than Queen Elizabeth's level, is not particularly abrupt, and is basically acceptable.

Out of self-esteem, he did not say that the British warships have always been above Germany. Now that there are suddenly such nine first-class battleships in Germany. What is going on?

"Can it be fabrication?" An official of the Admiralty raised such a possibility, but was quickly rejected. The British and French allied fleets were completely destroyed in less than an hour and a half. This is a fact. To fabricate, one needs to buy a fleet, whether it is the British or French army, which involves tens of thousands of people. This is almost impossible. The other officials are all senior officials. I believe that even if the British Prime Minister is 90%, it is almost impossible to buy a whole fleet of tens of thousands of people. There are still almost no possibility. There are too many people and it is too complicated. This is very difficult and meaningless.

This proves that this thing really happened. It can sink dozens of ships, including a large number of ships including patrol and front dreadnoughts. Although the appearance of the dreadnoughts announced the complete withdrawal of the front dreadnoughts, it does not mean that the dreadnoughts can quickly sink the front dreadnoughts. The dreadnoughts improved the artillery structure and aiming, and the improvements in armor were relatively limited. In other words, the protection of the front dreadnoughts is of the same level. Under the same number of conditions, victory is no problem, and it can be sunk slowly, but the speed is limited to 1 and a half hours. No matter how the naval experts calculate, at least 13-15 main battleships are needed to cooperate with other types of ships to act together.

There were many people who fled back, spread across the 12 ships, and there were more than a thousand people. Most of them remembered not many of them. However, after summing up reports from so many people, especially some of the above-scale power statements, the attack ships at that time were restored. The main battleships were super fearless, with a total of 9 heavy patrols and more than a dozen cruisers and destroyers. I am afraid there were seventy or eighty ones.

This is a fully functional and huge fleet. The most important thing is that all the warships of this fleet do not exist in the descriptions of German warships in the British intelligence agencies.

The meaning of this middle representative is not to mention the Minister of the Navy. Anyone who has some understanding of the family background of the British and German navy is clear. In 1914, Germany had a total of 18 battleships and battle patrols, and the British had an advantage of 29 and 11. The British Navy pushed the German fleet tightly into the Baltic Sea. The powerful German high seas fleet only became an inland sea fleet and did nothing at all.

But now, with such a fleet, Germany and Britain are only one ship away from the main battleship. In terms of strength, Germany will even be dominated by Germany. How did such a huge fleet be made and what methods did Germany use to keep this secret? If you don’t understand this, the British will definitely be unable to sleep or eat. (~^~)
