In history, only the Wyoming-class battleship of the United States and the French dreadnought-class battleship used the layout of 6 turrets, and the tonnage of the former reached 26,000 tons. The side armor is only 11 inches thick. The king's displacement is 25,000 tons. Although there is one less turret, the side defense has reached 350mm, which is 2 grades higher. It is clear who is strong and who is weak. Of course, if you want to talk about the relics of the famous 7 turrets and 14 guns, this guy is a big and improper thing. Generally speaking, 8 to 12 main guns and 3 to 5 turrets on battleships of World War I are the norm. Let’s forget about what the six-turret **** teaches or something! This thing can't hurt!

Generally speaking, the prince thinks that although the battleship plan of the Royal William Shipyard is not the best, it is quite satisfactory. In terms of basic design, it is much higher than the historical fearless, Nassau, and South Carolina. It is almost equal to a Caesar-class battleship or King-class battleship with slightly reduced defense. Dreadnought as a first-level trainer is not unacceptable.

; But when Tirpitz sent his chosen battlecruiser plan to the prince, the prince fell directly into confusion and rage. Yes, it was confusion and rage, because he really didn’t understand Tirpitz’s What does the brain circuit think, 11 inches! The prince originally thought that he could get rid of the nightmare of 8 dreadnoughts in Germany using 11-inch small water pipes! Unexpectedly, this thing is still lingering!

"We have 12-inch naval guns, why install 11-inch guns on battlecruisers! What can these small tubes wear?!" The prince did not suppress his anger. Almost everyone present put aside their work and looked at the angry prince and the minister with the same bad face.

;Historically, after completing the design of von der Thann, the Germans began to design the next level of battlecruisers. This is the well-known Mochi-class battlecruiser. At the very beginning of the design, there were people in the German navy. A design proposal for the use of eight 12-inch l50 guns was proposed, but Tirpitz rejected this proposal and requested that 11-inch guns continue to be used. And also put forward an unimaginable reason: "In the future, the German high seas fleet will be at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, so it is necessary to equip warships with more main guns so that a warship can engage multiple targets... .. (The author saw from a German bc book, this is true! A silent tribute for Tirpitz’s brain)” Then Moqi’s initial plan was renamed 12 11-inch guns, and In the end, the plan became 10 11-inch guns.

;Whether the prince was crossing before or after crossing, he never understood why Tirpitz put forward a reason for being so funny, and this reason was passed... The plan for 12 11-inch guns was abolished. In history, if Mao Qi, equipped with 10 11-inch guns, had one choice, the results would hardly be expected.

; The diagonal arrangement of the central turret originally left one turret in a state where it might not be usable. There are between 8 and 10 artillery pieces available. How is this firepower distributed? One goal 6 doors, one goal 4 doors? How to effectively calibrate the latter? And if you are fighting with two targets at the same time, as long as you are not particularly lucky, you will probably not achieve any decent results. One reason is that the firepower density is not enough, and the other reason is that the power of the shells is too small... At most, it will deal with the first-generation crispy war cruisers such as Invincible and Tireless.

"But our previous generation of large cruisers used 10-inch guns. In the battle, the Mainz-class armored cruisers equipped with 8 10-inch guns easily defeated their opponents, and we have now increased the caliber and number of guns. And we made this plan with full consideration of fraud. I don't know why you are dissatisfied!" Tirpitz said with a grimace.

; "The original design of the Mainz class was in 1895, and we are now designing a new battleship five years later. In these five years, we have built a battleship of 18,000 tons. It is the product of the three-expansion steam engine and the old fire control system. Since we have defined the potential opponent as the United Kingdom, we should consider improving the performance of our warship as much as possible. I am not improving with myself, but with Compare with each other."

"We can now build warships of more than 20,000 tons, you don't think the British can't? If they install 12-inch artillery on their large cruisers, how can your 11-inch artillery warship offset the opponent's quality advantage? As you said, we don't have a quantitative advantage, but the quality advantage is not determined by the number of gun barrels on the battleship, but on the amount of projection and armor penetration!" The prince retorted.

The weight of a new 11-inch shell is about 300kg, and the weight of a new 12-inch shell is about 400kg. If the rate of fire is the same, the projection capacity of 10 11-inch artillery shells is no more than 3000kg in one round, while the projection capacity of 8 12-inch artillery shells is really 3200kg. The latter has a slight advantage in terms of projecting capacity. In terms of armor penetration ability, the latter is more Rolling.

;According to the performance of the German artillery in history, the 11-inch l50 cannon can penetrate 8 inches of armor at a distance of 10,800 meters at a comprehensive incident angle of 30 degrees, while the 12-inch l50 can penetrate 10 under the same circumstances. Inch armor! The gap is huge, which means that Hindenburg and his like can fight against almost all British battlecruisers, while Mochi and his like can only fight against the first generation of battle cruisers. Fighting the lion and tiger's main armor belt is very difficult!

"But what about the cost? Our budget is simply not enough to support your plan~lightnovelpub.net~ Your plan is a designer's perfect idea, and does not consider the national conditions of the empire." Tirpitz was still not convinced.

"How much can the cost difference be? Then reduce the quantity and increase the quality! I would rather have 4 warships of 25,000 tons than 5 warships of 20,000 tons! Within a certain tonnage range, larger tonnage warships will have Better cost performance is a consensus! Both the Munich-class armored cruisers and the Mainz-class armored cruisers have proved this. And I know the details of the plan in your hand, and I will never agree to this plan. !" The prince left his seat and walked towards the crowd!

"A warship with a displacement of 20,000 tons and equipped with 8 11-inch guns is a fragile warship. The limited funds and tonnage are simply not enough for it to have sufficient combat power and defensive power! Count Vittorio and I used to After carefully discussing the relevant data, I believe that this warship has major hidden dangers! Therefore, I suggest that this plan be directly abolished!"

"You are too arbitrary to do this, I don't think everyone here will agree!" Admiral Liao Le said with a gloomy expression.

"We are reasonable! I will prove my point with facts. The designer of the Kaiser Wilhelm Shipyard can be present and he can refute my argument. Then we will discuss whether this plan should be abolished!" The prince said without flinching .
