"Who's Fighting 1"

That's the big headline of the Washington Gazette

The figure of a super-class battleship below, the hideous muzzle of the cannon is terrifying.

The Battle of Christmas is over, and after the presentation of the Ludendorff, it is already over.

The Germans needed to take care of the Dingyuan, and the British needed to tow the Hood back. Both ships were sinking, and it was already dark, and neither side had control to take advantage of the rest of the battle, so they had to be calmed down for the time being.

But in the chase all the way, Dingyuan and Zhenyuan are remarkable. In the end, the approach of the Yamato-class battleships attracted the attention of many in the Bay of Biscay, and in the eyes of many, it was the approach of the Yamato-class battleships that frightened the British from continuing to attack. And in the eyes of many people in the world, the wounded battleships of the British have become foils.

The Washington newspaper listed a circle of active battleships, and found that none of them could compare with the Fantasy-class battleships, the Iowa-class battleships that the Americans were building were a little worse, the Lion-class battleships that the British planned to build were even more indispensable, the French who had already surrendered did not go, the Italians who were beaten to the point of losing their armor were also ignored, and only the Japanese super-class battleships entered the sight of the Americans.

"According to reports, the information of the Utopian-class is based on the Japanese Yamato-class super-class battleships, and the Yamato-class super-class battleships have been launched." , the Washington Post broke the news.

The Japanese Navy, which was originally beaten a little embarrassed by the Vanguard, made the Americans look down on it. However, as the Japanese Navy moved southward, the Americans were also constantly strengthening their vigilance, and the Iowa-class battleships were aimed at the Nagato-class battleships of the Japanese. But the Yamato class that emerged at this time,

But the Americans found that they didn't have the decency to deal with it.

Although they have already discovered the advantages of aircraft carriers, "but at this time the technology of aircraft carriers is still very difficult against battleships", and the world trend is still super-class battleships.

"We don't need useless torches, we need steel armor that is hard to resist naval guns!" The photo of the Intrepid aircraft carrier's torch has become the object of ridicule of those who veto the aircraft carrier and support the giant cannon ship, the navy is a very technical service. "Any kind of technology to change the grass" seems simple, but there are many people and things involved in all aspects behind it. You can't change it. A large number of personnel who have mastered the skills of battleships need to learn the skills and tactics of aircraft carriers from scratch, and the shipyard manufacturing needs to be readjusted. And the generals who commanded battleships in high positions obviously did not want to become obsolete, and countless jobs were involved. So as long as it is not a life-and-death situation, the difficulty of changing the grass is quite large.

At this time, the glorious image of the super-class battleship established by the Battle of Cabo da Roca finally gave those old conservative forces a good excuse to crowd out the emerging aircraft carrier faction.

Some media also took the opportunity to stir up the wind and preach the power of super-class battleships, "Even the people were impressed by the naval battle of Cape Roca and strongly demanded that the super-battleships they were more familiar with appear."

Although the Americans made a lot of arguments about aircraft carriers, it was difficult for aircraft to break through the air defense of battleships and sink battleships because of early technical constraints. Especially like Dingyuan and Zhenyuan, they have done a good job of air defense, making it difficult for planes to get their hands on. Even if it is done occasionally, a little damage will have little effect on the battleship. This made the aircraft carrier not enough to challenge the supremacy of the battleships.

The United States and even other countries did not attach as much importance to aircraft carriers at this time as they did in later generations, otherwise there would not be so many types of battleships. In particular, when the Americans were expanding their navy on a large scale, the influence of the outside world made the Americans' naval policy somewhat tilted.

"We want super battleships!" ，

This became the unanimous call of the United States, and at this time, it was a critical moment for the revision and finalization of the battleship of Mengdana. Under this trend, "it quickly passed the relevant approvals. After preliminary judgment and comparison with the Yamato-class battleship purchased by the Americans, the Americans deduced that their plan for the Meng Dana battleship could compete with the Yamato-class battleship.

As a result, the relevant budget was passed, and the Americans made preliminary plans to build four Meng Dana to replace the somewhat outdated battleships of World War I and post-World War I.

"We need super battleships!" ，

This is also a special feature of the Times, which is dedicated to the British defeat and makes a detailed explanation and explanation. The final conclusion was undoubtedly that the British needed superships that could compete with the Germans to redeem their disadvantage at this time.

The Battle of Cape Roca caused the British a great loss of face, "In order not to lose the confidence of the people, Churchill aimed at the previous British government's reduction of naval military spending, so that the British Navy did not have super-class warships to match.

The previous Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain had passed away alone in his hometown on November 9, "no matter how Churchill did at this time, how much he splashed dirty water", he would not jump up and complain about it.

The old empire has declined, and it is difficult to cook without rice. While London became a haven for financial speculators, it became increasingly difficult for the British Empire to support its extensive colonies around the world. The new aristocracy produced more consumers of the world's luxuries, while the machines in the factories were rusting away at the glory of the past.

The British people did not care so much, and their main concern now was, if the German super-battleships came, what would they use to parry?

The Germans' 2 superships had already dragged most of the British navy. With the addition of a fantasy-class super-battleship, it frightened the British. So, what if you add three Utopian classes?

Even it takes time to build, and it is considered fast to build a battleship for three or four years, and sometimes it is normal for five or six years to come. But the Germans are already on their doorstep.

Somehow, after the news broke that there was a superbattleship of the Fantasy class to be auctioned, the enthusiasm of the British people was unprecedentedly high.

"For the sake of our homeland, we must buy this super battleship!" , Someone shouted wildly, and it caused everyone's echo.

At this time, the situation in the island of Great Britain was not very optimistic. If the British navy loses again, I am afraid that there will be no more vassals to protect their homeland.

All of a sudden, the auction moved to the Empire State Building in New York attracted the attention of the world.

But the most ardent gaze of them certainly belonged to the British.

Although the Germans made up their minds not to let the British dream succeed, the Germans already had three in hand, and the fourth will be taken over next year, plus there are two Bismarck-class battleships, and there is no shortage of warships for the time being, so the demand is much worse.

And the Dingyuan and Zhenyuan suffered heavy losses, especially the Dingyuan, which was almost scrapped, and the last explosion almost sank him halfway, only a little stronger than the Hood, which was stranded halfway through. In this way, the cost of repairs is not low. The copycat company promised to pull it back and repair it itself, but the Germans had to pay for this part of the money.

Because the owner of the order for these two super-battleships was the vanguard, they still adopted machines and technology.

The Germans were also very satisfied with this, although the Dingyuan and Zhenyuan had to pay a huge amount of money for the use, but the battle sank the battleship Conqueror, the aircraft carrier Dreadnought, and the battlecruiser Return, and the Hood was almost sunk, and the main battleships of the British such as the Prince of Wales were either injured or disabled, in addition, 4 destroyers and a cruiser were sunk.

That's a lot of results, and it's definitely worth it. The Germans readily paid for it, which made Meng Hedon blossom. can not only earn a lot of merits, but also get a lot of income, such a good thing, Meng Xiang hated to come a few times.

Unfortunately, the Germans' finances were also a little tight because of the huge military spending, and they did not plan to make another move for the time being. Even this auction is just here to dismantle the table and stir up the situation.

The French and Italians, a puppet and a poor, can't talk about the Wu family.

The Russians were also financially constrained, and they had secretly negotiated two Utopian-class battleships with the copycat company, which were about to be delivered, so they had no hope of making a move. Although Meng Xiang wanted to sell a super-class battleship to Soviet Russia to drain their finances, the Russians would not easily empty their mouths and noses.

The Japanese also built their own Yamato-class battleships, but they could not financially afford so many good super-class battleships, and even the fuel for training and combat in peacetime was also somewhat insufficient because the Americans intentionally or unintentionally reduced their share. The Americans have been forcing the Japanese to smash the old order, and this kind of thing naturally wants to break the neck of the Kaka Japanese.

On the other hand, the Americans are also preparing to build superships on their own, and they already have a Fantasy-class battleship to study, which also makes them take a sideline attitude towards this auction.

But it was all faulty, and they stumbled. At this time, harming others is self-interest. For the British, who used to make enemies everywhere, this time the injustice is decided.

Faced with the critical juncture of the country's destruction, even if it is a big pit, the British will jump. They were eager to buy superships now, because the Germans were already planning a new offensive.

They didn't think about the price at all, and even the British people were organized to donate money for their new superships.

"For the homeland, for the super-warship, one person only needs to pay one penny!" The propaganda that the British government controls behind the scenes is not about the amount of money, but about the improvement of people's morale and morale.

The British people, who had weathered the shock and were accustomed to the gloom of war during the German bombing, were finally boosted in morale, looking forward to the arrival of the New Year and the final moments of the New Year's auction in New York.

The condition is a little aggravated, and the doctor warned that facial paralysis has a growth period of about ten days, and it is best not to lie in front of the computer during this time. I can only go up. The number of words is too small, so I'm ashamed!
