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

A week later, diplomat Markus Schneider came to the foreign minister and said with a big smile, "Minister Wu."

"In the last meeting, our country stood firmly with your country, and time has quickly come to the second half of the year. The first battleship should be ready for delivery, right?"

Foreign Minister Wu Qingyuan also responded with a smile: "The first battleship you are talking about should be almost completed."

"However, I am not too clear about the specific progress. After all, this is a military issue. But I can take you to watch it on site."

Hearing this, diplomat Marcus Schneider quickly said, "Thank you very much, Minister Wu."

Foreign Minister Wu Qingyuan waved his hand and said, "You're welcome."

The two then took a car to an airport and took a military transport plane to a shipyard.

Along the way, diplomat Marcus Schneider seemed very excited and expectant. He kept asking Foreign Minister Wu Qingyuan for various information about the battleship.

Foreign Minister Wu Qingyuan patiently answered his questions and introduced some technical parameters and performance characteristics of the battleship.

When they arrived at the shipyard, a huge battleship came into view.

Diplomat Markus Schneider exclaimed as he carefully observed the battleship's exterior design and details.

He found that every detail displayed a level of craftsmanship that was truly amazing.

"Minister Wu, this battleship is so huge! It's beyond imagination!"

"And the caliber of this main gun is really shocking! It feels like an invincible existence!" Diplomat Marcus Schneider said excitedly.

Foreign Minister Wu Qingyuan responded with a smile: "You are right, Mr. Diplomat. This battleship is indeed a great project."

"I have just gone to the person in charge of the shipyard to learn about the situation. They told me that it is expected to be launched next month."

"When the time comes, you can arrange for someone to come and receive it and drive it back to your country."

Upon hearing the news, diplomat Marcus Schneider's eyes flashed with excitement.

He immediately thought of an important question: "So, next month, it seems I have to get in touch with my country as soon as possible to arrange relevant matters."

"So, is the battleship next to it also being built for us?"

Foreign Minister Wu Qingyuan nodded: "Yes, that battleship was also built for your country."

“However, due to the construction schedule, it will take some time to complete.”

"The earliest we can do this may be next year; if it's a little later, it may be the year after."

"But please believe that once these two battleships are delivered to your country, Jili will definitely look upon Prussia with new eyes and will never dare to underestimate you again."

Diplomat Markus Schneider responded: "Your country's shipbuilding technology is truly world-class."

"I wonder if your country has built such battleships for use in its navy?"

Wu Qingyuan: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded: "This is a military secret and cannot be disclosed."

Diplomat Marcus Schneider seemed a little disappointed, but continued to ask: "Is that so? Big guns and big ships are the romance of men. Your country should have its own trump card, right?"

Wu Qingyuan The Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded again: "Sorry, this is a military industry issue, I have no way of knowing."

Diplomat Marcus Schneider smiled helplessly and said, "Well, I wish us a pleasant cooperation."

He understood that it was not easy to obtain more information about Yan State's warships.

Wu Qingyuan, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, responded with a smile: "It's a pleasure to cooperate."

After returning, diplomat Marcus Schneider immediately reported the news to the leader and described in detail the situation of the warship and what he saw and heard.

The leader was very happy about this unexpected surprise. He immediately replied with a telegram, saying that he would send professional personnel to receive the battleship as soon as possible.

For Prussia, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Once they successfully obtain this battleship, their naval strength will make a qualitative leap, and they may even be able to compete with other countries.

At this moment, the construction of Yan's battleships will still take some time to complete, but at the same time, three large shipyards have begun simultaneous construction of eight aircraft carriers.

The other several small shipyards are mainly responsible for building thousand-ton warships, including the first generation of submarines under construction in Yan State, which is improved and designed based on the Type 21 submarine.

In addition, there is a new generation of destroyers, which are modified based on the Gearing-class destroyers.

Through these efforts, Yan State's naval strength will be significantly enhanced, basically eliminating the existing shortcomings.

Regarding the eight aircraft carriers under construction, they are the product of improvements based on the Midway-class aircraft carrier.

This type of aircraft carrier is a truly modern aircraft carrier, which can be equipped with steam catapults in the future to further improve the combat efficiency of carrier-based aircraft.

However, steam catapults have not yet been adopted, mainly because Yan State has not yet successfully developed jet carrier-based aircraft.

To match this new type of aircraft carrier, a new generation of carrier-based aircraft will be equipped.

These include an attack aircraft improved based on the A1 attack aircraft, and a fighter modified based on the F8F fighter.

These new generation of carrier-based aircraft will provide more powerful air support for Yan Country’s aircraft carrier battle groups.

In addition, the shipyard is working intensively to build a new generation of cruisers, which are improved and optimized based on the Des Moines-class heavy cruisers.

These new warships will become the backbone of the Yan State Navy in the future and are expected to become the core equipment of the Yan State Navy within the next decade.

At the same time, those once glorious old warships are also facing a turning point in their fate.

Except for the two precious aircraft carriers, the remaining warships may be included in the sale list after the new generation of warships enter service.

This is not because they have lost their value, but because technological advances and changes in demand have made them no longer suitable for the requirements of modern warfare.

Different from the past, the new generation of warships will be fully equipped with advanced radar systems to improve combat efficiency and combat effectiveness.

The older generation of warships lack this key equipment, so although they once shone on the stage of history, they now have to face the challenges of reality.

Although it is regrettable to eliminate the previous generation of warships, it is also an inevitable result of the development of the times.

In today's world of rapid technological advancement, only by constantly updating equipment and improving capabilities can we ensure national security and interests.
