Republic of China: Our great warlord has many children and many blessings

The emergence of so many super-dreadnought battleships and battlecruisers in the Republic of China shocked not only Japan but also Britain, France and the United States.

It was completely beyond their knowledge.

What's even more shocking is that it was not taken out during the last naval battle.

Really insidious.

Senior officials in Britain and France also gasped.

Today, Shen Hao occupies Laos and Vietnam, which are their colonies.

Moreover, their interests in the Republic of China, such as Xiangjiang, the Magic City, and the Guangdong Concession, as well as salt tax, customs tax, and railway revenue, were all taken back by Shen Hao.

Of course, Britain and France are unwilling to accept these real interests.

Moreover, these benefits were still taken away by an ant who could easily ravage and bully him on weekdays. It was a great shame and humiliation.

To say that he doesn't want revenge is absolutely false.

At the beginning, the top leaders of Britain and France were still considering whether to allocate some warships and send warships to deal with the Republic of China and Shen Hao.

But in the end I still couldn't make up my mind.

However, Britain and France have been unable to reach an agreement.

The main reason lies in the distribution of strength.

As far as the strength of France's navy is concerned, although it is not weak in the world, its real naval strength is not as good as Japan's.

That means bullying the weak countries.

Before World War I, the French Navy had only 4 main dreadnoughts (battleships), which was considered very strong compared to the navies of smaller countries. However, looking back at the Battle of Jutland, the German fleet had 16 battleships, while the British had 28 battleships. The numerical gap is clear at a glance.

France is strong in its army.

The main reason is still lack of money and insufficient funding.

France's naval expenditure is less than half that of Britain's.

There are currently less than six battleships, half of which were sunk by Germany.

There are only three battleships left, and not a single super-dreadnought battleship.

Nowadays, Japan, which is more powerful than the French navy, has been dealt with, and France has nothing to do.

To cross the ocean, you can't use the army, you can only rely on the navy.

Therefore, to deal with Shen Hao, Britain can only take the lead.

But if it wanted to cross the ocean to deal with Shen Hao, Britain would have to mobilize at least 4 fearless battleships.

Including the light fleet, there will be at least a hundred ships. How is this possible?

If 4 battleships are taken away, how can Germany be suppressed on the European battlefield?

Moreover, when Shen Hao captured Xiangjiang, the concession, and Vietnam, it was the time when the British navy failed.

On May 31, 1916, a famous naval battle broke out between the German Navy's High Seas Fleet and the British Royal Navy in the waters near Jutland.

Including 151 British battleships and 99 German battleships, a total of 44 battleships participated in the battle.

In this battle, the German High Seas Fleet defeated the British fleet at a much smaller cost and won the naval battle.

The result of this naval battle was: 3 British battlecruisers, 3 armored cruisers, 8 destroyers, a total of 14 battleships of 110,000 tons were sunk, and a total of 6,094 people were killed.

The Germans lost far fewer battlecruisers and warships than the British. One battlecruiser, one pre-dreadnought, four light cruisers and five torpedo boats were sunk. A total of 11 battleships of 60,000 tons were sunk, and a total of 2,551 people were killed..

Although Britain still has 28 main battleships and none of them have sunk, Germany also has 16 battleships. In terms of the overall fleet size, it is still at a disadvantage.

Even when facing Germany, they still had no chance of defeating them in a crushing manner, which made Britain no longer confident.

If one-third of the warships are deployed and sent to Asia, they will not be able to log in even if they win. After all, the current Army of the Republic of China is also very powerful and has a lot of coastal defense artillery.

Moreover, winning the Republic of China would not bring much wealth to Britain. Since it could not log in, what if it failed?

Failure would drag Britain into the abyss and completely offend the Republic of China, which would outweigh the gains.

Asia's interests are still far behind.

After all, Europe is the base camp. If the attack on Shen Hao results in being captured by Germany, the UK will not be able to bear the price.

Shen Hao can only be allowed to do whatever he wants in Asia.

But this time Shen Hao suddenly showed off eight battleships, especially four battleships, which were extremely fearless, which made Britain gasp.

Since the United States did not sell it to the Republic of China, there is only one possibility, and that is that the Republic of China made it itself.

The construction of so many battleships in such a short period of time is enough to prove the industrial strength of the Republic of China.

It can be said that after Britain and France received the news, they were really glad that they did not send warships to attack Shen Hao. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

All I can say is that Shen Hao is really well hidden and insidious.

However, Shen Hao competed with Japan in such a big way, which was exactly what Britain and France wanted to see.

Fight, fight to death.

All European countries are very happy to be able to let Japan consume Shen Hao's strength.

No one wants to see the rise of the Republic of China.

The rise of the Republic of China is more terrifying and worrying than the rise of Japan.

After all, Japan is a small country with only tens of millions of people, while the Republic of China not only has a vast territory and rich resources, but also has a population of more than 400 million.

The hard conditions for becoming a big country are a large land, abundant resources and a dense population.

At this point, little Japan has absolutely no hope.

The battleships on both sides are all 6x double-barreled Type 41 calibers of 305 mm/45 times or more. They are 10 nautical miles (18 kilometers) apart.

According to the caliber of the artillery, these 10 nautical miles are already within the range of both sides.

Forrest Gump didn't waste any time and directly ordered the battleship to fire.

At this moment, Forrest Gump was also very excited.

This is the first time we have encountered such a huge battleship group battle.

According to the information A-Gump knows, since mankind invented the dreadnought-type battleship,[]

Countries around the world use very perfect calculations to design battleships.

But there has never been a naval battle in which the warring parties drew up their formations and numerous battleships engaged in cannon fire at a reasonable distance.

Since the birth of the dreadnought, there have been only a few famous battleship naval battles (battleship battles between each side with more than three (Wang Zhao's) ships on each side).

The large-scale ones are the Battle of Tsushima, the Battle of Jutland and the last Battle of the East China Sea. Shen Hao challenged Britain, France and Japan, and there will be no more.

But this time, A-Gump was very excited to command such a large battleship group.

Due to the long distance, destroyers and cruisers are completely useless.

We can only rely on battleships and battlecruisers to fight.

Coincidentally, Shen Hao's firepower output was three more battlecruisers than Little Japan.

In terms of firepower, the Japanese army was no match at all.

A-Gump held the telescope and said:"First attack the Japanese merchant ships so that they cannot transport soldiers."

""Yes, Commander."

In an instant, countless artillery shells flew towards the Japanese fleet.

The shells exploded into huge waves on the sea.

However, due to the long distance, the hit rate was not high.

But A-Gump was not in a hurry and used the most to win.
