Red Alert 1895 - Chapter 998
That Zhu Erdian almost fainted for a while, and this German was cruel enough to show his housekeeping skills. You must know that the German army is very powerful, but the navy is far from being comparable to that of the United Kingdom. Therefore, the Germans have always adopted a quality-oriented approach to the development of the navy in the past. Their lack of naval talent, coupled with their lack of economic capacity, is unable to manufacture naval warships in large quantities, so they have also adopted methods to improve quality. They have many advantages in the armor steel of warships, which the British are also very jealous of.
In fact, many science and technology in this world are forced out. If there is no realistic situation to force, I am afraid that scientific research will also be very slow. It is as if war is the destruction of human civilization, but it is also a catalyst for technology. Many technologies were also forced to be invented during the war, which can be proved by many situations. So theirs is actually a lot of examples. In order for Germany to be able to fight the United Kingdom with a small fleet, they had to improve the quality of their warships.
As a battleship, it is nothing more than several parameters. Find a balance between speed, artillery, and armor thickness. Generally, the artillery is powerful, and ships with a large number will run slowly. If you want to run fast, you must reduce the number of armor. However, reducing the amount of armor often cannot effectively resist the enemy’s artillery when the enemy attacks. It can be said that speed, artillery and armor are the three parameters on the battleship, and they are the most important parameters. Countless battleships are not all seeking a balance in these three aspects, seeking the greatest possible balance.
In this case, in order to ensure that their warships can fight against the British, the Germans had to come up with armor steel. This kind of armor steel has high hardness, but is very light in weight. It is a high-tech alloy steel. If this alloy steel is used as the armor, not only will the weight be lighter, but the same defensive effect may reduce the weight by 20%.
Don’t look at 20%, but 20% on the entire battleship is already not light. Especially a battleship with tens of thousands of tons or even tens of thousands of tons may weigh thousands or even thousands of tons. Such a large weight is enough to install several more steam engines and even more artillery. Even artillery can be transformed into artillery with a larger caliber.
So this alloy steel, even the British are very jealous. The Germans have always regarded this alloy steel as a treasure, and of course they are unwilling to take it out casually. But now the Germans actually lost their money and took the initiative to give it to Wang Guorui, so the British are also very heartbroken. If this alloy steel can be given to themselves, that would be great!
“Oh? This alloy steel is not bad!” Wang Guorui thought.
What Wang Guorui needed most was this alloy steel that was light in weight and sufficiently hard. This alloy steel is what he needs most, especially since it can be used not only on battleships, but also on aircraft. Of course, the alloy steel technology of the aircraft does not need to be so hard, but this alloy steel can be changed according to the needs. If there is a model for the alloy and heat treatment process, it can also be improved and heat treated accordingly, so as to find enough for them. The direction of the direction, so that the blind man feels the elephant and has no clue.
“Your Majesty, you must ensure that this alloy steel will not fall into the hands of the British!” Hai Jing also said.
This time it was Zhu Erdian’s turn to have a toothache. If this were the case, the UK would not be able to conduct a private transaction with Wang Guorui, and would not be able to want this alloy steel. But just now it was Hai Jing’s **** for tat, so it’s not his fault.
“Okay, very good! I think Zhejiang is also a good place. Jiangsu and Zhejiang have always been a land of fish and rice. Although the population here may not be larger than other places, the consumption power is very strong! So, I think except for some industries. , the Germans can send some industrial products, and then we will carry out protection sales.” Wang Guorui said.
This also made Zhu Erdian very toothache, and Jiangsu and Zhejiang were robbed by the Germans. Although Zhejiang may not have a large population, its consumption power is very strong, so they must have stronger purchasing power, which may not be worse than those provinces with large populations.
So now Zhu Erdian also feels very hot-eyed, and then it seems that they must bleed.
“We Brits also have…”
“Our countrymen also have…”
Soon, the two guys “dog-eat-dog” here, made Wang Guorui very happy. These two guys are in this kind of dog bite dog, which means that they can get the most benefit. But they can’t stop now. If they want to stop the fight, the conflict between the UK and the multi-manager is irreconcilable. If they can reconcile, it will naturally not be so easy to come and compete for the market. This market is the Achilles heel of the British and Germans, and no one is willing to give up now. This huge Chinese market is a life-saving straw for the Germans, and of course the British are not willing to let the Germans get this life-saving straw, so the two sides will definitely fight each other very fiercely, and no one can benefit.
Wang Guorui came to the General Armament Department with the technologies they were willing to show.
“Britain and Germany have been taken advantage of. They are willing to spit out so many excellent alloy materials that we need. In this way, we can greatly shorten our research time in terms of alloy materials. Although it is still not as good as They have accumulated for so many years, but we can also make up for this process to a large extent. Then we can solve these things well, and then there will definitely be many benefits in future development. At that time, once the alloy material can be consolidated Our material science technology, then our future development will also have a solid foundation, and the speed of development will not be limited by the second reason of these materials.”
“Your Majesty, this time we are just using some markets, and they are here to bite dogs. However, we gave them the market, so that I can get a lot of benefits from it. Think about the time when the Manchu Qing was unwilling to open up the market. We were willing to engage in diplomacy, but ended up adopting a closed-door strategy. This is what caused such serious consequences. But we took the initiative to grasp the opening, which not only allows us to obtain greater benefits, but also avoids too abrupt opening, and then let Our domestic market is in turmoil, and people suddenly accept those Western ideas, which is not conducive to our development!” Prime Minister Xiao Hongsheng replied.
When it comes to opening up the country, Wang Guorui actually believes that it must be gradually opened up. If they open up all at once rashly, it will not be conducive to their future domestic development. Once it is fully opened up, all kinds of foreigners will come. At that time, some people may be just and pure businessmen, and they are just doing business. These people are not terrible, but some people deliberately spread some ideas, which confused the people in the country, and then lost their own thinking, and finally became spiritual foreign slaves.
Once there is such a guy, it will not do China any good. Therefore, Wang Guorui adopted a gradual opening method to avoid too violent impact from outside ideas. Although the Manchu Qing era was opened by foreign countries, the policy adopted by the Manchu Qing Dynasty was also a passive opening, that is, they did not actively cooperate, so it was very difficult for foreigners to live in China.
And this Manchu Qing can be regarded as doing good things with bad intentions, preventing the domestic people from contacting the outside world too quickly. Everything should not be too intense. Once it is too intense, it will inevitably rebound. It is necessary to boil the frog in warm water. Man Qing adopted a passive and open strategy. Although it was important to be criticized by others, it was considered a good deed unintentionally. It avoids the excessive and rapid inflow of foreign ideas and confuses domestic ideas. Once the thinking is messed up, it is very difficult to correct it, and it is not so easy to correct it back.
Wang Guorui came from later generations who probably knew that the era of ideological confusion in China, all kinds of good, bad, smelly, and smelly ones came in one after another, and the Internet exacerbated this situation. Therefore, without enough preparation, the common people cannot judge that those are really good things, and some are cannonballs covered with beautiful sugar~www.mtlnovel.com~ So the opening up should not be too early, and the reform should not be too fast . Only living or not making progress is the most important thing. Once the conflict is too impatient, it may be counterproductive in the end.
“We are now a teacher who must not forget the past. The so-called illness comes like a mountain, and it goes like a thread. Our China has been gradually closed since the Ming Dynasty. A country that has been closed for more than two hundred years, Just like a seriously ill patient, you can’t use harsh medicine that is too violent and stimulating. A seriously ill person can’t use strong medicine right away. This will not help him, but will harm him. Therefore, we must be cautious and open up gradually. .And we can take advantage of our opening up to gain some benefits for foreign countries. And we have opened up in an orderly manner, which is in our hands. And we have opened up the market, but we can take it back at any time, whether it is economic It is okay to use violent means. We are different from the Manchus, we have a strong force, we can protect the interests of our people, and our market will not be easily violated.”
“They have to spit out a lot of good things. We are full of food and food, and they all have to compromise. At that time, we are the real biggest benefit. This time, our industry is really eating It is really too profitable. With these technologies, our next industrial development will be solidified, and we will not be controlled by others as in the past, and they will not be controlled by them due to the lack of various materials. Threats. As long as we have these, then we will surpass other countries in the future, and it will not be a problem.” (To be continued.)
