Chapter 192 Returning to my parents’ home, traveling around the world, selling warships, and cheating Yingyi! (Please subscribe, please vote monthly)

Zhuge Weidao couldn't help but laugh when he heard Zheng Guoxian mention "coming along the way".

It was indeed a drop-in. It was not easy for Natalie to go back to Rakshasa’s family, she had to go to many places along the way!

The first stop is of course Japan, then the Hawaiian Islands, then Mexico, then Peru, Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, the Brazilian Empire, Gran Colombia, then entering the Caribbean, and then wandering around the Atlantic side of the Mexican Empire.

Of course, if you want to go shopping, you have to take a trip to Texas under the rule of Mexico! So Zheng Guoxian’s suggestion of taking a few boats to Texas along the way is not wrong, it is indeed a drop-in!

After leaving Texas, Zhuge Weidao had to take his fleet on a free voyage along the long coastline of the United States! During the free voyage, he also had to visit New York Harbor to show the Ming Empire's friendly attitude towards the United States of America.

After coming out of New York Harbor, Zhuge Weidao will take his fleet across the Atlantic to sail freely in Europe! Because the Ottoman Empire has closed the Turkic Strait, Zhuge Weidao's fleet cannot enter the Rakshasa Kingdom through the Black Sea. Therefore, he can only

If you can take the English Channel to the North Sea and the Baltic Sea, then you can visit France, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Sweden, and Prussia before entering the territory of the Rakshasa Empire and entering the Gulf of Finland along the coastlines of the three Baltic Sea countries.

Docked at the Admiralty Pier in Petersburg.

After completing his "return to his parents' home" visit to Rakshasa, Zhuge Weidao had to take his fleet out of the Baltic Sea, pass through the North Sea, the English Channel and then enter the Atlantic Ocean. However, this time he would not go to America, but would instead enter the Mediterranean and visit

Portugal, Spain, the French port of Marseille, the Kingdom of Sardinia, the Papal State, the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, the Austrian Empire, Greece. If they still exist! Then there is Egypt under the rule of Ali Pasha, and then leaves the Mediterranean through the Suez Canal and enters

Indian Ocean.

When arriving in the Indian Ocean, of course there is no reason not to visit a major country in South Asia, the glorious Indian Empire - now is India's highlight moment! All the assets of the British Empire in the Indian Ocean, including the Malay Peninsula, have been placed under the Indian Empire. India is already a

It has become one of the four major powers in the world that can compete with the Ming Dynasty, Great Britain, and Rakshasa!

After visiting India, Zhuge Weidao will take his fleet through the Strait of Malacca and enter the Nanyang. There is the Ming Dynasty and the British, no, it is the frontier of the confrontation with India! It is also the defense area of ​​the powerful Ming Nanyang Fleet. So after entering the Nanyang,

Zhuge Weidao has reached home.

And when I went to Rakshasa, I actually traveled around the world "on the way". Of course, it was not a trip at public expense, but I just took care of a few very important things.

First, of course, it is to help solve the minor problems in Hawaii. The power of the Ming Empire has actually penetrated into the Kingdom of Hawaii very early. However, the Ming Dynasty has been a "civilized country" since Queen Wuzhong, and will not roll up its sleeves and act recklessly.

Therefore, what the Ming Dynasty did in the Kingdom of Hawaii was to invest in infrastructure, establish education, develop industries, encourage immigrants (half of them were Korean immigrants), etc. It did not directly send troops to overthrow the Kingdom of Hawaii, nor did it declare the Kingdom of Hawaii to be a Ming Dynasty colony.

According to the wishes of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty had to help the Kingdom of Hawaii meet the criteria for becoming a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and then the Kingdom of Hawaii would make a request before the Ming Dynasty could agree to accept it as a vassal state.

However, this kind of way of civilized people encountered the British Empire and Japan, two barbarians who were disrupting the situation. Both countries "forced their way" into Hawaii, and each occupied several islands in Hawaii and claimed that they had discovered them.

Is there any sense in opposing the Ming Dynasty’s invasion of Hawaii?

But now that the Ming Dynasty has completely subjugated Japan, the Hawaii problem has naturally been solved. The Japanese troops stationed in Hawaii have become the Ming Dynasty's people, and the British can't continue to play. So Zhuge Weidao this time sent a Hawaiian Kingdom to supervise the country, and then sent the Japanese troops stationed in Hawaii to the Ming Dynasty.

Just "please" leave the small British fleet in Hawaii.

The second is to promote the Ming Dynasty's latest battleships, armored cruisers, cruisers, destroyers, gunboats, and airships. Well, no matter whether it is a big country or a small country, whether there is a sea or not, there is always a suitable one. And it is cheap, high-quality, and includes training.

Yes, fast delivery, no bully!

Among them, the battleship that Zhuge Weidao wants to promote is, of course, the Hongwu modified version. The Navy Ministry of the Ming Dynasty also gave it a very nice name - the Hero class! Do you want to be a hero? Then get some Hero class ships!

If you are short of money and cannot afford the Hero class, then you can buy two of the latest 10,000-ton armored cruisers! This kind of armored cruiser is not the planned large light cruiser. The latter will use a high-power oil boiler plus

Steam turbines cannot be built now, and they will not be cheap to build, so they are not suitable for use as foreign trade ships. So the Ming Dynasty's shipbuilding engineers built a reduced version of the hero ship, named the Haohan class. They could not afford the hero.

, let’s have a few good guys!

The standard displacement of the Hero-class is the same as that of the planned large light cruiser, which is also 12,000 tons. It uses the same power system as the Hero-class. It is a coal-fired boiler that drives a three-expansion reciprocating steam engine. The main engine power is 22,000 horsepower. Because

The hull is 6,500 tons lighter, so the top speed can reach 23 knots.

The armament includes 2 240mm main guns, 12 155mm secondary guns, 16 50mm high and flat dual-purpose guns, 24 13mm anti-aircraft guns, and 2 450mm torpedo tubes.

The armor thickness is also quite satisfactory, with the armor belt 50-150 mm, the deck 25-75 mm, the turret 150 mm, the command tower 300 mm, and the compartment 125 mm.

The purpose of Ming Dynasty in inventing these two "heroic ships" was not only to make money, but also to deceive the Yingyi. It was to use industrial strength to deceive the Yingyi!

Without steam turbines and oil-fired boilers (kerosene mixed-burning boilers), the "Heroes and Heroes" are basically the top of the battleships and armored cruisers of this era. The highest level that Great Britain, the world's second industrial country, has been able to achieve in the past two years is

In this way, warships that use briquette furnaces and steam engines have a standard displacement of 20,000 tons, which is the standard of a hero ship. If you want to run faster, you have to reduce the protection and firepower to save weight, which is the hero class.

Armored cruiser.

And this kind of top-of-the-line battleships and armored cruisers should have been important weapons for a great country and a treasure to protect the country.

As a result, the Ming Dynasty held a big sale. Doesn’t this mean that a few countries with bad money can catch up with the British Empire in terms of naval equipment level?

Can the Royal Navy not be in a hurry to get angry? Can it not be in a hurry to get started?

Can you afford to wait until the technologies of steam turbines and oil-fired boilers (kerosene mixed-fired boilers) are mature before destroying warships? Can you afford to wait? If the Ming Dynasty sells "heroes", I am afraid that they will not be able to wait for the steam turbines and oil-fired boilers (kerosene boilers) used by British ships.

Mixed-fired boiler) technological breakthrough, the English Channel is full of "heroes" from the French, Prussians, and Rakshasa people.

How can the British master's monarchy level be at odds with others?

Therefore, the British must bite the bullet and follow up! Otherwise, without waiting for their oil-fired boiler (kerosene mixed-fired boiler) technological breakthrough, the British Empire will be overthrown by Louis XVII. Haha, land in England, report

The centuries-old hatred of France is about to be accomplished. Louis XVII will be directly promoted to Louis the Great. He will no longer have to worry about Bonapartists, Republicans, or Orléansists in this life.

But Ming Dynasty does not need to rush into building "Heroes and Heroes" ships. It can use the expanded production capacity for foreign trade ships first, and build a few "Heroes and Heroes" itself, mainly relying on "old, broken, and small" ships.

Let's wait for a while. After the steam turbine and oil boiler are completely completed, we can directly build 30,000-ton battleships, 30,000-ton battlecruisers and 20,000-ton aircraft carriers. Isn't this a flying dragon riding on the face? This is a sure win.

What a game!

Zhuge Weidao couldn't help but feel proud when he thought of this sure win, because this game was figured out by him, Zhuge Weiyi, and Zhuge Weiyong together.

"Okay!" Zhuge Weidao said with a smile, "Next autumn, let's go to Mexico together! However, the fleet is fast, can your ship keep up?"
Chapter completed!
