Chapter 385

Juldian and rizhiyi followed Raines to Qing island. They wanted to see what the latest American warship looked like. Why was Raines so confident?

In fact, Raines didn't know it, but the country told him that we would be finished if we had the latest warship. He didn't know how new it was, but he would still be strong, and he was very strong. He didn't give Zhu erdian any face.

The fifth and sixth marine brigades, the first heavy artillery brigade and the first engineering brigade of the navy have completed landing. Taking over public security, barracks and forts is the first priority. Then the fleet is divided into four sub fleets, with two warships of each kind. Two sub fleets entered the port to rest, while the other two patrolled outside. Wesley told them to be careful of sneak attacks. Small people have this habit.

William Benson obeyed, and the fleet was not trained enough to react quickly in wartime, so he also acted strictly according to Wesley's instructions. They boarded the battleship with the German Navy. All the four battleships parked in the port have side numbers. There are four battleships 101, 102, 103 and 104, and the other four patrol at sea. This is the latest naming method of the U.S. Navy.

Originally, Wesley, the designer, wanted to name the battleship, but Wesley thought it was very troublesome and directly replaced it with numbers. The battleship starts with the number 1, the re patrol starts with the number 2, and so on.

Melvadick is a German naval colonel. He knows about ships. When he came to the port, he saw the fleet parked in the berth from a distance. "This is a fearless battleship, but the layout has changed a lot."

"Yes, they are all arranged along the central axis. There are three totally enclosed turrets and triple main guns." William Benson did not hide. His purpose is to let the Germans know, although it is a little late now.

"I really didn't expect that your United States should have such a large battleship. Although it is not the largest, it seems to have a good combat effectiveness and may not lose to the British."

"The British? They are not our opponents. In the era of sideboard warfare, do they have the firepower of that warship and can they compare with our battleships?"

"This is not true. Although the full heavy gun structure is adopted, the distribution is different from yours. Your structure is more compact, and even the number of chimneys is less than one. It's a great design."

"Go up and have a look!"

After the Germans visited, they couldn't pass on the news. After all, they had to be prisoners when they disarmed, and William Benson began to train the fleet. A few days later, the dusty Raines came to Qing island with juldian and rizhiyi.

"General, welcome to China." Raines got off the train and saw William Benson at the front of the line.

"Mr. Minister, it's hard." a pun said not only that he came all the way to Qingdao, but also what happened before the arrival of the American fleet.

"This is what I should do. Let me introduce you. This is Mr. Zhu erdian, British minister, and this is Mr. rizhiyi, Japanese Minister. They really want to see our American fleet. What do you think?"

"Oh, it's nothing. Although it's our cutting-edge warship, all countries are welcome to communicate. Would you like to have a rest first?" William Benson also didn't care, because the advantages in appearance can't be kept secret, especially such a large warship, so he directly let them watch it. Even if they read it internally, they don't understand it.

"Let's see now!" rizhiyi was impatient. Now he urgently wanted to know how the combat effectiveness of American warships was, so as to provide information for the country.

William Benson took his party to the port in an army jeep, which was produced by Wesley's automobile factory. Zhu erdian's heart is not very good about the new American cars, because the United States has surpassed Britain in some aspects. In his words, this is not in the interests of the British Empire.

When I came to the port, I saw four battleships headed by 105 quietly parked in the port, and there were other battleships in the distance. After rest, the patrol unit was replaced.

Rizhiyi frowned and looked at the battleship in the distance. His first feeling was the beautiful and clean layout. Although he only saw the side, he basically knew the whole picture. It must be a symmetrical layout. With a tonnage of more than 20000 tons, they have only one King Kong Battlecruiser to fight against. Other battleships are under construction. The rest are either former fearless or armored cruisers. Compared with battleships, they are not opponents at all. Is sneak attack feasible?

Rizhiyi and jurdian were silent. Although these warships were nothing to Britain, they were indeed cutting-edge warships in terms of layout and artillery, and they were probably in front of Britain. Although Britain is not afraid of numbers, now Britain has no way to concentrate its main force against the Americans, and the Americans can stab Britain in the back with this fleet.

This is the Pacific Fleet and an Atlantic Fleet. What's the situation there? Zhu erdian has reported to China once, hoping that China will pay attention to it and collect intelligence from the US Navy at the same time.

They boarded battleship 105 with different purposes, and then visited. The key areas were confidential, but other places were enough for them to see. They got off the ship with a look of depression. Rizhiyi looked around and saw the re patrol of No. 205.

"General, is that a Battlecruiser?" rizhiyi asked.

"No, that's our heavy cruiser."

"Heavy cruiser?" rizhiyi didn't know the difference, but the triple mounted main gun, with a tonnage of nearly 20000 tons, looked like a battle patrol. Japan. Ben's fleet construction plan has been started for several years, but now we don't know how long it will take to complete it. The only King Kong class war patrol is the treasure of the Navy. It seems that Qingdao has no hope.

Juldian and rizhiyi didn't even eat. They got on the train again and returned to the capital. They were eager to send messages to the country, and William Benson didn't care about their behavior. They directly entertained Raines to the governor's house.

"General, how has the domestic situation suddenly changed?" Raines asked hurriedly after sitting down.

"Hehe, we have a genius. He invented the warships and soldiers' weapons. He not only invented weapons, but also had more patents in hand. He is also a genius in business. He persuaded the domestic government to change its policy."

"Oh? Is there such a person? It's great that he can persuade Congress to change its strategy."

"Yes, it's very powerful. He always satirized the congressmen when he spoke to Congress, but now the congressmen and the consortium behind them are studying its speech. Can you believe it?"
