We have to pay the Qing people more than 20 million taels of silver each year. Geely Gaul is no longer willing to provide us with loans. Only Mijian promised to raise part of it. I invested so much in the Navy last time."

In fact, Bowen Ito just wanted to strengthen the defense. He was very sober aware that the current situation is not what they can challenge. Unless there is a major change, Neon will have a chance.

And these military personnel are still thinking about the offensive and continuous expansion of the military. In his opinion, the current Neon should learn from Citi, first recognize the counsel, or even bow to the knees, and focus on developing the economy, waiting for the industrial level and the economic level. After coming up, it will be transformed into military strength.

But he knew that such a policy was impossible.

It is not only because of the influence of traditional policies and the reasons why neon faces pressure.It is the reason for the distribution of power. The tilt of resources to the economy will inevitably lead to larger civil servants. This is impossible in Neon, which has gradually been controlled by the elders.

You know, most of the veterans are from the military.

"The Qing people now have two Dreadnought-class and six battle cruisers, and they are constantly building warships. We need similar strength if we want to protect ourselves. Otherwise, we can't keep the channel open and the army's supply. I have to admit that after the previous naval battles were defeated, our navy could not defeat them even with the same warships."

Xixiang said calmly from Dao. Now they have come out of the shadow of failure, thinking about revenge. Some of his words are half facts and half threats.

"That wouldn't need ten dreadnoughts and ten invincible battle cruisers? Are we going to start with the Will Army and Gran? The Qing people’s'Da Qing-class' battleship has a displacement of more than 20,000 tons. But their "Dongfeng" battlecruiser, with a displacement of more than 10,000 tons, cannot be suppressed by two dreadnought ships."

"But can we build more invincible battle patrols? After all, we can do defense now. With the current military strength of the Qing Dynasty, we must maintain a standing army of about 300,000 to defend the country."

A friend in Shan County said angrily, although they have been clamoring for offensive and counter-offensive, but they also know that Neon has no strength to log in and can only protect itself.Regardless of whether it will attack or not, the Army can no longer be so aggrieved.

"The strength of the Invincible should be only slightly weaker than that of the Qing. According to the news from Ali, they should have four more battleships launched in four years. According to their ratio, it should be a Qing. Class and three Dongfeng class, that is to say we should have three to four Dreadnought class in three to five years. Five or six Invincible class battleships are enough. The battle cruiser of Invincible class is relatively easy to manufacture. You can buy half and half in Geely. With the help of Gaul’s self-made, the money left over from the self-made can almost make up for half of the shipyard renovation costs." Kanshuwo www.kanshuwo.net

Xixiang Congdao also understood that others could not force them too much. After all, the resources were limited. Nowadays, the neon gold and silver mines were almost all mortgaged, and it was their opportunity to start building warships without full strength.

In his opinion, in order to achieve a speed of 26 knots, the invincible-class battleship used 31 boilers and lightened armor, but his tonnage reached more than 17,000 tons, and it had two twin 305MM guns with 45 times the caliber.It should be able to crush Dongfeng.It can even pose a great threat to the Qing Dynasty.

There is no precedent for battle cruisers and fearless cruisers in naval battles. He takes it for granted that the battle cruisers are extremely powerful.He also believes that as the first to develop the Dreadnought and the Geely National Battle Cruiser, there are so many reasons for him.After all, the battle patrol data still looks terrifying there.

"If this is the case, then we will order two more Dreadnought-class battleships within five years, and order and build six Invincible-class battle cruisers. The remaining resources will be used to develop the army. In time, we cannot surpass the Qing Dynasty navy at that time. Everyone should know that the emperor has been unable to launch an offensive in recent years. It can only focus on defending the mainland. What do you think?"

Ito Bowen is not particularly clear about the combat effectiveness of these warships. He can only obtain information from the population of the military department. Since they have said so, he can only grit his teeth and suggest that the economic development speed of such a newly established economy will slow down again.Had it not been for Emperor Meiji to auction off the cultural relics, he would not dare to say that.

"The Geely country wants us to propose a new dreadnought, or it can completely suppress the Daqing. We will conduct an inspection and replace the two newly ordered dreadnoughts if possible!"

Xixiang Congdao seemed to remember something, and he said it before other people expressed their opinions.

Hirobumi Ito frowned, changing to a new one meant that he had to increase his budget, but he finally did not show him and turned his attention to others.

In any case, Neon’s current situation can declare bankruptcy almost early, but Geely Galum continues to help in order to suppress it. Although Geely Gaul no longer provides loans, they still continue to provide material support, and even reveal that weapons can be used for price. give them.

If the expansion of the neon army increases the oppression, Geely Gaul may resume the loan, and Mijian’s support has never stopped. The main reason is that they want to establish a foothold in the sea, and their industry has not turned into military strength. They need to support the neon confrontation. , And never even mentioned the return of the loan.

The others were silent for a while and nodded. Although Neon was pulled back a bit by Ito Hirobun, he still fell into that kind of pathological paranoia, placing the hope of the country on occupying the mainland to obtain living space and resources.

Although they are talking about defense, they still hope that through this navy strengthening, they can have the strength to challenge...
