Chapter 192 One thousand eight hundred and ninety-nine, free Sun Longxing weapons

“With a displacement of 25,000 tons, the speed should reach 23 knots?” Li Lin felt his chin and thought. During this time, he browsed the contents of the [World War I and World War II weapon design drawings] when he had nothing to do.

This displacement needs to reach a speed of 23 knots. Steam power is indeed difficult, but with diesel engines, it is not impossible!

“Yes, is it difficult?” Hoffman asked.

The battleship has thick skin and thick flesh, and its firepower is super fierce!

But its only downside is that it is slow.

But in engagements, if you are faster than the enemy battleship, that’s a different story.

That means you have a certain amount of initiative!

“Yes, but it will take me half a month. I will ask my team to sort it out. In fact, our team has designed a battleship with a displacement of 23,000 tons and a speed of more than 24 knots. So the difference is not big. Yes.” Li Lin said blindly.

“What? With a displacement of 23,000, you can reach a speed of 24 knots? In this case, even if the displacement of 25,000 tons cannot be achieved, we can accept the displacement of 23,000 tons. Of course, the tonnage can reach the displacement of 25,000 tons.” Hoffman thought thought.

The heavier the tonnage, the larger the caliber of the cannon that can be installed. The larger the caliber, the stronger the attack power!

“Okay, I can make my people wait for you here for half a month. Anyway, they are professional in this matter, and I am not professional. If it is really feasible at that time, I can also make a decision in England. The price is not a problem, But the quality must be good, and it’s okay to build slowly, anyway, it can be finished within 3 years.” Hoffman said.

A powerful battleship, for a fleet, that is very important!

“Okay!” Li Lin nodded.

Then the two sides discussed the thickness of the armor.

What Hoffman requires is that the comprehensive armor must be a quarter thicker than the current conventional armor!

In this regard, Li Lin said that there is no problem.

As long as the power is strong, everything is not a problem.

So, the most important thing is that he has to go back and pick out the blueprints for a suitable large diesel engine block.

Take the data and run the calculations for a group of designers to see if the approximate speed is achievable.

Half a month later, Li Lin’s design drawings and estimated data met Hoffman’s requirements.

Hoffman decided to order one!

But the price is not cheap, 3 million pounds a piece!

Why is the price so expensive, because the thicker the armor, the higher the cost, because the technology in all aspects is different, in addition, the powerful diesel engine group must be sold for more expensive money.

Generally speaking, for a tonnage like this, £2.3 million is about the same.

In a flash, more than half a year has passed.

It was the end of 1898 in the blink of an eye.

In the past six months, Li Lin has also successfully fooled the French side to place an order for 3 cruisers, and the German side also placed an order for 2 cruisers.

Such an excellent cruiser makes it impossible for these two forces to refuse!

On the other hand, in the Goose Country, they didn’t have much cold, and they were still obsessed with the construction of the army.

On the contrary, winning the country, in the past life, still focused on the army, but tasted the sweetness in Angola, and then invested more money in the navy!

…

this day.

Li Lin met an old man whom he hadn’t seen in several years.

In a box in a teahouse.

“Sun Longxing, why did you come here?” Li Lin asked with a smile as he looked at Sun Longxing, who had already experienced some vicissitudes in front of him.

There are some vicissitudes on the other’s face, but his eyes are very firm and bright.

Maybe, he has found the way he wants to go!

Someone once said that there was originally no road in the world, and the more people walked, the road became.

“Mr. Li, I’ve been wandering around Nanyang for the past year, so I simply came to Xinjiapo, mainly because I wanted to visit you. I didn’t expect that Mr. was really here.” Sun Longxing said respectfully. .

He still respects Li Lin very much.

Because in his heart, the few words that Li Lin gave him back then, let him benefit for a lifetime!

Even, what he has done over the years has something to do with those few words.

“Well, so it is. I heard that you have a good reputation in your hometown in the past two years.” Li Lin said with a smile.

“Cough cough… not a good reputation.” Sun Longxing was slightly embarrassed.

“There is no bad reputation, but I think you have done a good job. As the saying goes, how bold a person is and how prolific the land is, I still say that, I am very optimistic about you.” Li Lin encouraged.

“Really?” Sun Longxing heard this, as if there was a feeling that only Mr. Li Lin knew me.

“Mr. Li, what do you think of the current situation in your hometown?” Sun Longxing asked when Li Lin was interested in this aspect.

He felt that Li Lin’s overall view was definitely much stronger than his.

This time I finally see Li Lin again, and I must ask for advice.

“I’m not going back to my hometown. I don’t care much about the situation over there. Anyway, it’s still the same sentence. You can just do what you want. You don’t need to ask me.” Li Lin said ambiguous.

“This……”

“Well, we are also friends. You finally came here, and it would be vulgar to send you money. I plan to send you a batch of weapons. It happened that I recently squeezed a lot of weapons from the weapons company and couldn’t sell them. I’ll send you a batch for free.” Li Lin said calmly.

It’s like giving you a few baskets of fruit.

“Ah? Well, that’s really embarrassing.” Sun Longxing was surprised and stunned.

He knew that weapons were expensive.

I just don’t know how much Li Lin gave him.

But as long as there are hundreds of guns, he is very satisfied.

“It’s okay, these weapons are nothing, I plan to send you 5,000 KAR98K rifles, 100 mortars, 50 60mm mountain guns, 24 LeFH18 105mm howitzers, 200 M2 machine guns, and 1,000 pistols! There are a few more! The ammunition is enough to support you to fight 5 tough battles!” Li Lin said.

After listening to Li Lin’s words, Sun Longxing immediately took a deep breath!

This~www.readmtl.com~ This, with so many weapons, he can pull up a strong army!

You know, the above weapons seem to be very powerful.

It is not that the weapons of the great powers are weak, or even stronger!

“This, this, Mr. Li, let me worship!” Sun Longxing knelt down at Li Lin with a puff.

Li Lin quickly helped Sun Longxing up: “It doesn’t have to be like this, you are very much to my taste, I will give you something and you can accept it. By the way, when the time comes, you can take the weapon from Yangcheng, and then I will give it to you. Contact the branch in Yangcheng to find you.”

“Don’t say thank you for your kindness!” Sun Longxing was moved, and he was not the kind of person who was squeamish.

“Let’s go, let’s go eat!” Li Lin smiled.

The reason why he supported Sun Longxing with so many weapons, firstly, is to help Sun Longxing, and secondly, after more than a year, it is not a good day.

Maybe Sun Longxing can still take off? Wouldn’t it be better!
