"You know what? The new coastal defense ship built by Bai Laoyi for the Japanese was launched. "Ask Leo to cut the steak as he speaks.

"Hmm. Is that the 4,000-ton coastal defense ship? Itsukushima seems to be called. Xu Jie replied quietly.

"It's the boat. It is said to be very problematic. The gun wears out too quickly, and the barrel may have to be replaced before 150 rounds. The ship's power system is also problematic. I can't imagine that the power master Bai Laoyi would make such a mistake. Leo said with some smugness

"This can't be blamed on Bai Laoyi, it can only be said that the Japanese are too demanding. Being able to make a battleship like this has fully proved his level. Xu Jie smiled slightly. Shook his head.

"ALSO, A 4,000-TON SHIP ACTUALLY NEEDS A 320MM GHANAIAN GUN. The stability of the ship will definitely be affected. Bai Laoyi may have to spend more than half of his time thinking about how to design a relatively stable launch platform for this cannon. "Entrusted Leo suddenly became interested.

"But this battleship is not useless. At least one of them was reasonably fast, and the side-chord Armstrong 4.7-inch gun was also a certain threat. Xu Jie said with a smile.

"That neighbor of your hometown is restless." Entrusted Leo said meaningfully.

"It's not just restlessness, it's quite restless." Xu Jie smiled bitterly in his heart. It doesn't take too long. 6 years later. This restless neighbor will meet the Qing Empire on the Yellow Sea. ,…,

"Once the future is at war...... Who do you think will win? Leo put down his knife and fork and said.

"Follow this trend. Japan will win. Speaking of this, Xu Jie's heart tightened. In the battle of the Yellow Sea, the Beiyang Naval Division that was completely annihilated, one by one familiar figures suddenly jumped into Xu Jie's mind. Xu Jie couldn't help but shiver, and the cutlery in his hand fell on the table.

"Xu, what's wrong with you? Sorry, I shouldn't have asked this question just now. Leo was shocked and asked with concern.

"Nothing. It's just a little uncomfortable. It's okay, go ahead. Xu Jie said with a pale face.

"Continue with what?" Leo asked, a little surprised.

"Continue to analyze the Japanese Navy and the Great Qing Beiyang Naval Division." Xu Jie said calmly.

"I think, let's change the subject, shall we? The question is too heavy. Leo's face changed slightly.

"Nothing heavy, nothing heavy. There is no shame in admitting that your skills are not as good as others, the key is to know the enemy, and then chase after it, in other words, it is called shame and courage. Xu Jie said with a little pale. Recall some of the assertions of the plane in which he lived. Say what if the Beiyang Fleet has enough flowering bombs to win, and say whether the Beiyang Fleet can win if the Beiyang Fleet succeeds in changing formations. A group of people are immersed in a kind of vanity delusion. As everyone knows, how can a decaying and declining Qing Dynasty that is only whitewashed be able to confront a top-down reborn Japan? How can Beiyang, which is only a corner of the country, resist Japan's blow? Is it so difficult to admit that you are inferior to others? He still remembers a sentence said by a netizen: The goddess of victory prefers a navy with many guns and fast ships, and will definitely not favor the fleet that still uses black powder. ,…,

"IMHO, there are some problems with the purchase of ships for the fleet of your homeland. Almost all the warships of the Beiyang Fleet fought in the bow against the enemy. Break through the opponent's formation and then enter the chaos to win. Unfortunately, a new batch of warships equipped with a large number of rapid-fire guns to strengthen the sidestring firepower and the use of columnar arrays as a combat method began to enter service in large numbers. In addition, the ships of the Beiyang Fleet are on the slow side. Once the war starts, it is not optimistic. Leo said in a thoughtful manner.

"That's right. Judging from the current purchase of Akitsu and Naniwa by Japan, the fast dome cruiser with prominent sidestring firepower will become the main force of the Japanese Navy, plus 3 coastal defense ships that have already started. The ultimate side reminds you: After reading this chapter, it is recommended that you collect the site of Bokan Novel Network, which is updated the fastest, and it is very convenient to continue reading. In time, the Japanese Navy will surely become a formidable opponent of the Beiyang Naval Division. Xu Jie nodded.

"Xu, you are a very good ship designer, if you can, I hope that the new protective cruiser designed by you and produced by the Andosal shipyard can enter the Beiyang Naval Division." There was a hint of frenzy in Leo's eyes.

"Buying a new type of protective cruiser? Are you kidding. The decaying Qing dynasty would rather build the Summer Palace, spend 2.4 million taels of silver on Beijing for that damned Lafayette, than add a new ship to Beiyang after 1890. You must know that a Yoshino is only 1.8 million taels of silver!! Xu Jie said with hatred in his heart. ,…,

"Respectfully entrusted Mr. Rio Cuniberti. Thank you for saving my life, and this boat should be my reward for saving your life. If you like it, just take it. Xu Jie said with a pertinent face. The earnestness and sincerity in his eyes made Leo blush.

"No, no, Mr. Xu, it's my honor to meet you. If you can. After throwing everything away, how about we split the profits? If you wish, I can also get you an Italian nationality. At the same time, you can also work at the Andosal shipyard. What do you think? Leo said excitedly.

"Working for Andosal? Why not set up a separate company? Xu Jie pretended to be surprised and said. My dream is not just to design a 4,000-ton dome cruiser. After speaking, Xu Jie smiled and took a sip of wine.
