"Should I ask Beard and Monte to help them customize that kind of battleship?"
Master Li lay on the table, holding a pen with a sad face.
At present, there is nothing to worry about him. Even if the Political Axe Army will soon use the two destroyers that have just returned to China to fight against Montt several times, it will not affect Master Li's happy and sad mood at this moment.
Because he is now thinking about whether to let the Chileans help him order that kind of battleship to Britain, and at the same time, he is worried that the British will not agree to such a large procurement plan!
According to Master Li's calculation, to blow up the ** flag and curb the intervention of foreign forces, at least two battleships and four large cruisers are needed!
In fact, with Master Li's BB party identity of relying on Baidu Niang in his previous life and reading all the world's battleships, everyone will think that it should be handy in choosing a battleship. In fact, this is impossible. Because it is now 1891, the new pioneers of the British Empire, and the king's power class, which created the former fearless era, has just been launched. It is impossible for the British to make a dreadnought now. Even if Master Li did it himself, it is impossible!
Don't think that the dreadnought is as simple as a unified artillery caliber. From the ship type to the new armor, from the watertight cabin distribution to the compartment design, from the open turret to the fully enclosed rotating turret, especially in terms of power, new boilers and epoch-making steam turbines have appeared. The reason why the dreadnought can become the benchmark of the times. It is because of the maturity and use of these technologies.
What Master Li has to do now is to combine the existing technology to build a battleship that suits him and is slightly better than the Junquan class.
Arctic star!
Two ships!
Thinking of this, Li Mo quickly wrote down the name of the ship on the drawing paper, which was inspired by the young master's rich in the north of the ocean.
Since there are not many choices, he readily chose the next generation of British battleship Majesty Class, which is in line with the same line with the Junquan class, but uses the hull of the Junquan class. In this way, he can not only cross the Junquan class, but also avoid a huge technical gap, causing delays in the construction period or simply not being able to build.
As a blueprint, William, the most famous designer in Britain today. The Majesty-class battleship designed by White is undoubtedly the best choice now. At the same time, according to the observation of Master Li's previous life, the Majesty-class can become the most equipped first-class dreadnought-class battleship in British history. There is no doubt about its stable and reliable surname. Otherwise, the British who are not short of money will not make so much.
Of course, it is impossible to completely copy the majesty level. After all, the real majesty level will not start to be built until three years later. In the era of rapidly changing technology, the gap of three years is very large.
So Master Li made some changes. The displacement was slightly less than the king's level, some technical indicators were reduced, and some changes were made according to his own requirements, such as increasing the low bridge a little higher, increasing the protection of the command tower, and reducing some superstructures.
The main gun adopts a fully protected rotating turret, which can be fully realized with the current British technology, but the secondary turret must wait until the majestic level, so Master Li still chose the ugly side port shell design that will weaken the protection and cannot be fired under high sea conditions.
After all these were formed in his mind, Master Li hooked out the first stroke.
Arctic star battleship, with a standard displacement of 12,500 tons and a full-load displacement of 13,500 tons, dual-axis propulsion, using the latest three-expansion reciprocating steam engine, with a maximum speed of 17 knots and a maximum range of 7,000 nautical miles when cruising with 10 knots.
The main gun adopts a 40-caliber, 305mm double-loaded main gun just developed by the United Kingdom, one in the front and one in the front and back, using a fully protected turret, instead of a caliber like the king's class, although it is as large as 343 mm, it can only be used for front hemisphere protection.
In terms of the secondary gun, Master Li gave up the use of a majestic 12 152mm and 1676mm balanced multi-layer firepower configuration, but more abnormally adopted 20 52mm secondary guns with the same 40 times the caliber. The outline gun design, with ten guns installed on each side, eliminating the 76mm two of chicken ribs. Secondary gun.
At the same time, in order to deal with small targets, six gun positions have been reserved on the deck to be used to install the 37mm double-loaded rapid-fire gun. As for how to double-link the 37mm fast-fire gun, with the skills of the British these days, it should not be a problem.
As for the torpedo tubes that countries like to install on battleships today, they were abandoned by Master Li. In his opinion, it is better to get a few torpedo destroyers than to make slow battleships for torpedo attacks.
In terms of the final armor, Li Mo has not changed, with aboard belt of 228mm, a deck of 63mm, and a turret of 152mm, which completely copied the majestic standard.
After solving the battleships, Master Li turned around and began to consider the much-needed cruisers, but there were many more choices for armored cruisers.
Determinion class, armored cruiser, four.
Based on the Esmeralda protective cruiser, the hull is enlarged, with a standard displacement of 6,000 tons and a full load displacement of 6,700 tons. In order to improve the speed as much as possible, Li Mo has greatly reduced its armor. The main gun adopts a double-loaded 203mm 45-caliber main gun in the front and rear, with a fully protected rotating turret. The secondary guns are eight single-barrelled 40-caliber 152mm cannons and six single-barrelled 76mm rapid-fire guns mounted on the deck, plus four double-mounted 37mm anti-toiseurpedo quick-fire guns, and two torpedo firing tubes in the front and back.
The power of the armored cruiser is not the cannon, but the high speed and endurance. Even if the three-expansion steam engine is not satisfactory in speed, Li Mo's requirements are still very strict on this point. The minimum speed should not be lower than 21 knots. At a cruising speed of 10 knots, the endurance should reach 7000, which is the same as that of the battleship. In the sea.
When Master Li raised his head again and looked at the battleships and cruisers he drew sketches and designed overhead, his face suddenly collapsed without complacency. Will Monte agree to purchase warships for him? Will the British build these warships for Chile?
Looking at the line chart, Li Mo suddenly had a sense of fatigue that all his strength was taken away. There are countless things in history to cross the river and tear down the bridge. Moreover, it is still South America that has the habit of turning its face. Even if Monte promised himself, would Britain see that Chile has so many huge warships that are enough to change the situation in South America!
Take control of your own life!
This sentence is a vow made by Li Mo on Rudolph's boat, but even if he is now rich, he still has thousands of tough soldiers trained by the new military training method, but in fact, he still can't control his own fate!
Looking at the line drawing he drew, Master Li was a little distracted. What should he do next?
At this time, a rapid sound of footsteps came from behind. Without waiting for him to turn his head, Chen Ping's hurried voice came from his ear: "Young master, it seems that we must go to Antofagust once."
"Where are you going?" Li Mo turned his head and his heart sank. Could it be that Zhao Long had made a ergo? Do you want me to go to the town in person?!
Chen Ping glanced at the line chart spread on the desk, and his eyes seemed to be pricked by something. After a moment, he struggled to withdraw his eyes: "Young master, the family of President Balmadeda are now in our hands."
"What!"
