I am the emperor in Nanyang, I am the ultimate winner

Qin Ruihua had just returned to the palace and hadn't even sat down when he saw Lu Hangxuan, the Minister of Military Industry, rushing in.

Lu Hangxuan presented a blueprint, and Qin Ruihua took a closer look and found that it was actually a super battleship!

Lu Hangxuan said excitedly: "Your Majesty, in order to deal with the Yamato battleship, we specially designed this battleship to restrain it."

Qin Ruihua frowned and responded: "Didn't I say before that we should focus on aircraft carriers?"

Lu Hangxuan quickly explained: "Your Majesty, you know, a super battleship is a man's romance!"

"And this can also reflect our country's military strength!"

Qin Ruihua certainly knew how powerful the super battleship was, but he still shook his head, indicating that he could not accept it.

"Your Majesty, the cost of this super battleship is indeed a bit high, but it is an unsinkable battleship!"

"With it, other countries will be wary!" Lu Hangxuan continued to persuade.

Qin Ruihua was silent for a moment and then said, "Okay, you give me a detailed introduction to this battleship. If I am satisfied, I will approve its construction."

"If not, then forget it."

Lu Hangxuan nodded repeatedly and began to talk nonstop...

This giant ship has a huge displacement of tons, a length of 282 meters and a beam of 41 meters.

The maximum speed can reach 27 knots and the cruising range is nautical miles/15 knots.

In terms of protection, battleships are virtually indestructible.

The main armor belt is 550 mm thick and is installed at an angle of 19 degrees, providing excellent defensive capabilities.

The deck armor is 310 mm thick, the front of the main turret is 650 mm thick, and the conning tower is also protected by 710 mm of thickness.

In terms of firepower configuration, the super battleship demonstrates unparalleled deterrence.

它配备了三座三联装520毫米/60倍口径主炮、20门双联装160毫米/45倍径高平两用炮以及大量的防空武器，。

包括30门双联装88毫米高射炮、50门四联装40毫米高射炮和60门20毫米高射炮。

In addition, it is equipped with two catapults and can carry six seaplanes, enhancing its reconnaissance capabilities.

In terms of technological application, the battleship uses advanced search radar and fire control radar systems.

It achieves precise control of the artillery, greatly reduces the need for manual operation, and improves shooting accuracy.

Among them, artillery above 88 mm uses advanced radio proximity fuses.

Due to technical limitations, smaller caliber 40mm artillery can only use mechanical fuses.

Lu Hangxuan continued to introduce: "Your Majesty, this super battleship has a full load displacement of more than 100,000 tons. It can be said to be the largest and most powerful battleship in the world today."

"Given the current level of technology and weaponry in various countries, it is almost impossible to compete with them."

"Of course, it also has disadvantages, which is that it is slow and has no anti-submarine capability."

"But as long as it is equipped with a few destroyers as escort, it will become invincible at sea!"

Qin Ruihua listened very carefully and nodded from time to time to show his agreement.

Then he picked up the design drawing on the table and looked at it carefully.

This design shows an enormous steel behemoth, which looks quite similar to the famous historical battleship USS Missouri.

But it is much larger in size, giving people a shocking feeling.

Qin Ruihua couldn't help but sigh: "This is really a powerful battleship!"

However, he still had some doubts in his heart, so he asked: "Minister Lu, I just want to know how much money it takes to build such a super battleship?"

Lu Hangxuan replied without hesitation: "Your Majesty, it is estimated that it will cost about 500 million silver coins."

“It’s expensive, but trust me, it’s definitely worth it!”

When Qin Ruihua heard this number, he couldn't help but frowned and felt a headache.

You know, the construction of the Yamato battleship cost only more than 60 million US dollars.

And now this super battleship actually costs 2.5 million US dollars, which is an astronomical figure.

He thought that if he used the money to build other warships, he might be able to get a better value for money.

But if you are only pursuing ultimate combat capability, then building such a super battleship may be worth it.

At this time, Qin Ruihua asked: "Minister Lu, it costs 2.5 million US dollars to build a super battleship."

"With this money, you can produce four Yamato battleships. And why is the cost difference between these two types of battleships so outrageous?"

Lu Hangxuan quickly explained: "Your Majesty, although this price is indeed enough to produce four Yamato battleships."

"But the Yamato battleship is just a sitting duck in front of this super battleship."

"The main guns of the Yamato battleship are simply unable to penetrate the main armor of this super battleship."

"It is also equipped with various advanced radars. Its design is completely different from that of the Yamato battleship."

"Even if it is hit by hundreds of torpedoes in a row, it will not sink. It will be a giant on the sea."

Qin Ruihua nodded and said, "Minister Lu, this super battleship is indeed very attractive to me, but the cost is still a bit too high."

Lu Hangxuan continued to explain: "Your Majesty, we have a large amount of steel, and the actual manufacturing cost is not that much."

Qin Ruihua naturally understood what Minister Lu meant by the large amount of steel, which was the large amount of steel rewarded by the system.

Although there was enough steel, he still hoped to use it to build more warships.

However, faced with the current situation, he could only make concessions.

After all, such a powerful warship is also a guarantee for the country.

"Okay, I agree. Build it as soon as possible." Qin Ruihua said helplessly.

"Your Majesty is wise. I will take my leave." Lu Hangxuan left the imperial study excitedly.

Looking at Lu Hangxuan's departing back, Qin Ruihua sighed deeply.

He knew that this might be the last battleship manufactured by Yan Country.

Although this battleship has powerful combat capabilities and can attack sea and land, it makes the enemy terrified.

But with the continuous development of science and technology, the form of future warfare will undergo tremendous changes.

After returning to the office, Lu Hangxuan quickly told his colleagues from other departments the good news.

Everyone was delighted when they heard that His Majesty agreed to build a super battleship.

The Navy Minister, in particular, couldn't stop smiling.

With this super battleship, Yan Country's naval strength will be greatly enhanced.
