"Ladies and gentlemen, my father has other business this afternoon, so he has carte blanche to represent him at this debate meeting. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info I only came with my eyes and ears, though. I will tell my father the truth about your views. You are all the most distinguished experts in the ships of the Imperial German Navy. I am sure that you will come up with the right result and find a correct path for the development of the German Imperial Navy. Crown Prince William spoke with a smile on his face.

Of course, in his heart, he desperately hoped that the Naval Technical Committee would be able to veto Qin Tian's design plan. Qin Tian's ability to make money is terrifying enough. If Qin Tian showed his talent in naval warship design, it would undoubtedly make Qin Tian's status within the imperial family significantly improved. And this will inevitably pose a serious threat to his status as crown prince. Naturally, Crown Prince William did not want to see such a situation happen. He wants his younger brothers to be mediocre people who eat and wait for death. In this way, his succession to the throne can be completely secured.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Imperial German Navy, with the support of His Majesty the Kaiser, is in the midst of rapid development. However, the gap between us and the British Navy is still very large. Therefore, the development of our Navy must not be able to take a detour. Otherwise, the gap between us and the British Navy will widen even further. For the design of Prince Oscar, you must seriously argue, and there can be no sloppiness. Marshal Count Tirpitz also said. He is undoubtedly very optimistic about Qin Tian's design. Although, in a lot of technology, a little ahead of its time. But he could see how good the performance of the battleship designed by Qin Tian was. If it can be built, it will be of great help to improve the strength of the German navy.

Subsequently, the demonstration conference officially began.

"Ladies and gentlemen, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Excellency the Marshal, have expressed the importance they attach to this demonstration meeting. Next, it's up to you. Next, the debate conference officially begins. First of all, I would like to ask His Royal Highness Prince Oscar to introduce you to this battleship he designed! "Feng? Count Warren said.

Qin Tian stood up and nodded to everyone. Then I went to the podium next to the conference room. The drawings of the battleship he designed had already been mounted on the wall.

When the battleship designed by Qin Tian was displayed in front of everyone, many people were shocked. Because, they have to admit that this battleship is so mighty and majestic. Of course, from a professional point of view, this battleship and the existing battleships are completely different in style and have too many differences. However, even though they had a lot of questions in their hearts, they didn't speak immediately, but waited for Qin Tian's introduction.

After taking a deep breath, Qin Tian spoke.

"Experts, this is the battleship I designed. This type of battleship has a length of 145 meters, a width of 24 meters, a draft of 8.6 meters, a standard displacement of 18,500 tons, and a full load displacement of 20,500 tons. It is powered by 12 heavy oil highways, three steam turbines, 25,000 horsepower of the main engine, three-shaft propulsion, a maximum speed of 21 knots, and a cruising range of 12,000 nautical miles at 10 knots and 3,000 nautical miles at 20 knots. It is armed with three triple 305 mm 45 x caliber main guns, 12 150 mm 45 x caliber secondary guns, and 16 single 88 mm anti-torpedo boat guns. In terms of armor defense, the defense of the main armor belt was 305 mm, the deck armor was 45 mm, the frontal armor of the turret was 305 mm, and the conning tower armor was 305 mm. Qin Tian introduced to everyone.

After listening to Qin Tian's introduction, everyone was stunned. They had to admit that this battleship designed by Qin Tian was indeed very good. At least, the data on paper appears to be excellent. Whether it is firepower, defense, or speed, it greatly exceeds their existing and even under construction battleships. Compared with this battleship, the battleships they designed before were simply garbage. Of course, that doesn't mean they're going to throw in the towel. The data on paper is beautiful, but it also needs to be able to be built!

"Ahem, everyone, if you have any questions, please speak." Feng? Count Warren coughed twice.

"Your Royal Highness, with all due respect, this battleship you have designed is indeed very good. At least, on paper, by the numbers, it is. However, I still have a few questions, and I hope that His Royal Highness the Prince can answer them for me. Sir Dietrich jumped out first. As the best naval engineer in the German Navy, although he was also shocked by Qin Tian's design. However, he will never throw in the towel easily.

"Your Excellency, please speak." Qin Tian knew that the real test had begun.

"Your Highness, I noticed that this battleship you designed did not have a two-stage main gun, but a triple large-caliber main gun. Why do you think this way? You must know that the mainstream battleships are now deployed with large-caliber main guns and second-caliber secondary main guns. Sir Dietrich asked.

"Your Excellency, it seems to me that as the main guns continue to grow in power, so does the range. Soon long-distance naval battles will become the norm. And in naval battles at longer distances, the effect that the secondary main gun can produce is very small. Rather than this, it is better to use all-heavy artillery deployment to further enhance the firepower of the battleship at long distances. In addition, more and more naval battles have proven that broadside combat has become the norm. Therefore, this made all the main guns of the battleship have to be able to fire at one side. In this way, it was possible to concentrate all firepower and further strengthen the combat effectiveness of the battleship. ”

Sir Dietrich nodded: "Let's not talk about whether His Royal Highness the Prince's judgment is correct, but this design is indeed very novel. Still, in the absence of conclusive evidence to support this assertion, I think caution should be exercised. ”

Qin Tian's face is not very good-looking, these old guys from the Naval Technical Committee are really old-fashioned!

"Your Highness, there is no country in the world where the main gun of a battleship is a triple main gun. The triple main gun is too heavy, which will affect the stability of the battleship. At the same time, the muzzle storm formed during the firing will have a great impact on the impact point and affect the accuracy of the shelling. "Commodore Gusad, a naval weapons expert, raised his own questions.

"Your Excellency, the reason why the triple main gun is used is to make the hull more compact and further strengthen the defense. As for the problem of the muzzle storm, it is actually very easy to solve. For example, delayed shooting. Among the triple guns, the middle one can shoot 0.5 seconds slower than the main guns on both sides during shelling. In this case, there will be no impact at all. ”

After listening to Qin Tian's explanation, Brigadier General Gusad's eyes suddenly lit up. Based on his experience, he could naturally tell whether this method was useful or not.
