Ultimate Weapon of Magic and Science

One hundred ninety!

Million!

Ton!

The scene was silent, men, women and children stooped silently to pick up their chins.

This is really not a problem of "poverty limits imagination" and "rare and strange". It is really that the shipbuilding plan is too bold and too crazy. The number and unit alone shocked the chin.

A decade of the army, a century of the navy. In addition to the attributes of naval technical arms, the quality of the soldiers is extremely high, and the cycle caused by factors such as the perfection and popularization of sea power awareness and marine strategy must be passed through a large number of theoretical and practical education. The most important element in the development of the navy is to burn money.

The navy, especially the deep blue navy construction of the great powers, will always be a super-golden beast. Shipbuilding, electronics, energy, metallurgy, logistics, talent training, technical reserve and application, equipment research and development and testing, base construction, port and ship maintenance...Everything is burning money, and it is burning money continuously, as long as the funds As soon as the link is broken, there will be a sharp regression and all efforts will be lost.

It may not feel like that, but here is a more intuitive case. The pinnacle of the famous battleship, the ultimate incarnation of the big ship artillery-the old Japanese Imperial Navy battleship "Yamato", clearly marked Yamato in the "Maru five shipbuilding cost budget table" released in July 1941 The direct cost of the ship is 281.53 million yen. Even if the shipbuilding itself is not included, the weaponry alone costs 130.54 million yen. The concept of 110.34 million yen is equivalent to building a "Feng" class carrier, while the Xianghe class carrier bare ship, known as the "ideal fleet carrier", is only 80 million yen...

You can build a house in Tokyo at a few thousand yen (at that time, a Japanese skilled worker was exhausted for a month, and the salary was only more than 30 yen, and a Japanese naval soldier had a monthly pay of about 13 yen) How much was the 281.53 million yen in the era equal to the current yen? According to the price index of 1 to 1787, it is equivalent to 286.18202 million yen. According to the exchange rate and purchasing power in 2006, the cost of a Yamato equal to 10 300,000-ton offshore floating production and storage tanks, if more intuitive, using modern warships as a reference, the cost of the Aegis Aegis from the Sea of ​​Japan As high as 147.5 billion yen, the Yamato is also worth the cost of two Aegis ships.

This is just the cost of building a ship. If we develop equipment, produce equipment, and keep the spy secret (the apprentice lost the drawings during the drawing design of the No. 2 Musashi ship, the family went to the Gendarmerie, and then they didn’t. After passing the navy factory in Wu At that time, the train had to pull down the window curtains. The most abnormal thing is that even the 56-year-old Yamamoto, who is the commander of the United Fleet, did not know the actual caliber of the Yamato class main gun, and always thought it was the same 410mm main gun as the Nagato class) , Material circulation (two special transport ships were specifically ordered to build 460mm main guns and turret seats, in addition, special lines were added to transport various parts), production equipment procurement (15,000 tons purchased from Germany -Level hydraulic press and three 70-ton acidic open hearth furnaces for the manufacture of armor plates, totaling US$10 million) Attached infrastructure (Wu Haiyuan factory dock widened and deepened, additional No. 4 channel for maintenance and repair of Yamato, additional purchase of 200-ton gantry crane )...... Waiting for the cost to be included, I am afraid the total amount will exceed 500 million yen. And after the Yamato, there are even more outrageous super Yamatos, which are really made, and the Japanese themselves will go bankrupt without using mushrooms from the United States to grow mushrooms.

The standard displacement of the Yamato-class battleships is about 64,000 tons. Simply converted, the 1.9 million tons of the Empire's "Plan Z" can produce about 30 Yamato-class battleships. In today's era where the thickness of the tube, the number of turrets, the thickness of the armor, and the speed and range determine the power of voice in marine affairs, the 30 giant battleships are enough to shut down any sea force or simply sink to the bottom of the sea.

Of course, it is impossible for the empire to use all the funds to build super battleships. The cost-effectiveness of doing so is too low. After all, it is not always possible to smash a lot of money, and it will end up in the end of the activities of the fishing boat, the coast smuggling team, and the coast guard Leave it to the super battleship (it's not the 16th fishery boat...). It is a normal practice to allocate reasonably and build a fleet that is fully functional and meets strategic needs.

In other words, this will be a fleet with a large scale, a complete range, and advanced performance.

"This is not a plan that can be achieved overnight. It requires long-term investment and waiting to slowly show results. The most important thing is that expanding the fleet size will inevitably seriously stimulate the countries."

The correct statement is that any action that breaks the balance may stimulate the nations, provoke a strong reaction, and eventually war.

The arms race is not uncommon. After entering the era of industrialization, the phenomenon of increasing the quantity and quality of equipment and expanding the size of the army for intimidating confrontation has also increased. The British-German naval shipbuilding competition, the arms race after World War I and before the naval holiday, and the Cold War nuclear arms race between the East and the West after the end of World War II-all prepared to war and at the same time intimidate each other with the expansion of force behavior.

So will the empire's expansion of military power provoke a fierce arms race? Just like what the great powers did on the eve of World War I? the answer is negative. The arms race is right to prepare for war, but people do not necessarily wait for everything to be ready to start wars. This was the case in 1914, the September 18th Incident, the total anti-Japanese war, and the operations of Poland and Barbarossa. This is the case, the same is true of the attack on Pearl Harbor. For gamblers with insufficient gambling, waiting is a dangerous thing, which means that the strength gap between the two sides continues to widen. Rather than sit back and watch a little bit of being hanged by opponents, because of the inability to bear the arms race and lead to financial bankruptcy, it is better to lift the table at the beginning of the arms race and gamble on a national game.

This is the situation in the countries. Once the arms race begins, relying on the advantages of financial resources, technology and industrial capacity~www.readwn.com~ and the empire that is not plagued by resource problems will soon be able to leave the countries far behind Behind (Li Lin: We are pure European Admirals, a tactical ring finger can build a dozen H39s, but this feeling of rich people doing whatever they want, African Admirals will not understand. Roland: Damn rich people... …). Rather than defeat without a fight or be easily conquered, it is better to let go when the gap between the two sides is the smallest. Even if the fate of defeat is still unavoidable in the end, it can at least bring the greatest damage to the empire.

The empire knew this, so it has been careful not to touch the sensitive nerves of the nations. What happened today has prompted such a drastic transformation of the empire.

What happened to the original strategy? Is there any other opportunity?

"The empire...or the emperor has decided to make the Charlemagne forces in exile, the Republic of Charlemagne, the next target."

Looking around at the inexplicable comrades, Luo Lanqiang endured the urge to sigh and scold, and said in the smoothest possible tone:

"And this time, the countries may not be able to intervene and do the whole thing." Remember the site's website, www. biquxu. Com, easy to read next time, or enter "" on Baidu to enter this site
