Chapter 163 Unexpected (2000 monthly tickets plus more)

"Humanity's last battleship commissioned"

"The Tohoku warship opened fire less than 10 kilometers from the Honmi warship"

"Ghost Battleship Returns to Earth"

"The North Sea Fleet captures the Yamato"

"Why did the captain of the shield ship burst into tears?"

"The main island announces the establishment of the Yamato Emergency Countermeasures Headquarters"

"..."

The topic of the Type 011 aircraft carrier has not yet cooled down in the world, and the University of Tokyo has once again made a big move.

After the Blumberg News Agency's plane landed, it quickly transmitted the video images back, which were then edited and broadcast in the shortest possible time.

The 7-ton battleship cuts through the waves on the sea. The escort ships and the Kongo next to it are just tiny compared to it. The smallest "Perry" class George and 053H Changzhi are only 3000 tons and 2400 tons respectively, which are not even as heavy as a battleship turret.

Especially the live-fire exercises in which the turrets are rotated and fired while sailing may be the only time when all three parties are interested and celebrate together.

As the world's first navy and the former second navy, the crews of the George and Kongo have been influenced by a long history of naval battleships and have a special affection for battleships.

Not to mention the Self-Defense Forces whose hands and feet were cut off, the authentic American Navy now has a bunch of BB parties.

After the 50s, heavy cruisers such as "Des Moines" and "Baltimore" were quickly retired due to their obsolescence, and the US Navy was not even interested in making detailed modifications.

However, battleships like Wisconsin, Iowa, and Missouri were converted into aviation battleships, missile battleships, land support ships, etc., and until the 90s, people were clamoring for the battleships to continue to serve.

This is certainly not because battleships still have an irreplaceable role in the modern navy, but because there has always been a steady stream of BB parties fanning the flames.

On the two warships watching the 001 battleship, the crew members were sincerely happy for the opponent's warship for the first time, and were proud to see the battleship fire with their own eyes, and were envied by other colleagues.

On a global scale, even though aircraft carriers are actually larger than battleships of the same tonnage, only sturdy cannons can give people the most intuitive sense of power and are more attractive than aircraft carriers.

Blumberg News even retained 200% of the footage shot by the Beechcraft 70, added a simple soundtrack and played it on TV, instantly reaching the ratings of many popular programs.

Ike's face was sticking out of the open door of the plane, holding a microphone and shouting at the top of his lungs in the strong wind. The image of a huge ship sailing on the ocean background behind him became the hottest news at the moment and was broadcast as the cover of the news agency.

After the live-fire artillery firing, the battleship formation received several visits from different aircraft and warships as it headed north, and the excitement continued until it entered the port.

Tang Wen and Lao Zhang originally expected that there would be more negative voices from the outside world about the domestic situation. Although these voices do exist, it seems that they have attracted more fans?
……

Rioin State.

The 001 battleship is docked at the Dalyan Shipyard. The dock prepared for it is still being cleaned and adjusted, and it will probably take another half a month to wait.

As soon as Lao Zhang got off the boat, he was harassed.

"Mina-san, we are truly surprised that you are able to build another Yamato."

Japan's liaison officer in the country, Tomohiro Uchimura, was waiting outside the shipyard early and insisted on seeing the battleship. The navy had no choice but to push Lao Zhang out.

Being called affectionately by an old man in his sixties, Lao Zhang felt disgusted but still advised seriously:

"The Type 001 battleship is a warship of the Eastern University. Please go back."

"Ah, it's so obvious, there's no need to deny it, right?"

The corners of Lao Zhang's mouth twitched, and it was hard to continue talking nonsense, so he could only say:

"This is a new type of thinking warship we have. It's perfectly suited to a battleship hull, and it makes sense to refer to previous designs." "So you also replicated the naval guns? We were able to find the engineers who worked on the Yamato's construction, and they said even the propellant composition is almost identical, and the color and amount of the fireworks match. I'm afraid these won't be used in modern warfare, right?"

Lao Zhang couldn't hold it in any longer: "This is confidential, I can't tell you."

Uchimura Tomohiro seemed not to hear and sighed to himself:

"More than 20 years ago, your country expressed its desire to improve relations with ours. To be honest, we thought it was just a courtesy, but we didn't expect you to be so sincere.

The Combined Fleet was once the pride of all Asia. I believe that no Asian does not love it, so you secretly built a Yamato, right?

We are all neighbors separated by a narrow strip of water. Now that we have put aside our prejudices, why not be honest with each other?

This is the most powerful warship in all of Asia, the pride of the yellow race. Please be sure to fulfill my wish!"

Tomohiro Uchimura bowed as soon as they had a disagreement, which made Lao Zhang's eyelids twitch, but he inexplicably felt some understanding.

The Japanese nation is a bit awkward. On the one hand, if they become a little more developed, they will be arrogant and look down on others, but if foreigners with the same skin color achieve something, they will feel at ease to share the glory with them.

For example, in the previous 38th League, when I looked at the GG book, it seemed that Lao Mi was just so-so, and we yellow-skinned people are not bad either.

After the country broke through the mushroom egg technology, people became more cautious and straightened their chests, and their ambition increased by half when they went out.

After the Shenzhou V was launched into space, countless CNSA aerospace fans were born.

After the North Sea Fleet salvaged a Yamato, many Japanese were shocked at first, and then developed an inexplicable sense of identification of "heroes admiring heroes". They naturally believed that this was a recognition of the glory of the former Combined Fleet by the country and a signal of friendship and respect.

Even though these dwarfs are now invincible due to their booming economy, their inner inferiority and anxiety have never diminished. The Type 011 battleship is a kind of recognition, as if it represents the respect of the strongest.

It feels more satisfying than winning yourself when your mortal enemy suddenly shows respect for you through practical actions.

Tomohiro Uchimura is in this situation. He "accepted the respect" shyly, so naturally he had to "return the gift".

Lao Zhang could probably understand a little bit of their strange train of thought, but he was still a little speechless.

No, how does it involve the glory of the entire Asia?

You should loudly rebuke us and accuse us of shameless plagiarism!

Lao Zhang hesitated for a moment, then said after thinking:

"You can go to the east gate. You can see the warships from there, but of course you can't stay there for long."

"Mr. Zhang! You may not know this, but the Emergency Response Headquarters has been established. A team composed of the original designers and builders of the Yamato is being assembled. Many citizens, including the current Prime Minister, are deeply concerned.

We understand your sincerity clearly, please give us a chance!"

Lao Zhang felt that this matter was beyond his ability, so he decisively avoided the issue. At least, no one could casually board the warship.

Uchimura Tomohiro was a little anxious and suddenly said:

"You once asked Dongzhi to purchase a batch of high-precision multi-axis gantry milling machines. Now that you can manufacture the Yamato's propellers, you must have already produced similar equipment domestically.

Since you already have the equipment, Dongzhi can obtain permission to sell a few."

what?
Lao Zhang didn't expect to have an unexpected gain. The Navy did try to get a batch of imported large milling machines, but that was to process the propellers of the nuclear black fish.

The propeller surface of an ordinary surface warship does not require such high precision, so...

If you had told me earlier that I could replace the milling machine, I would have even exchanged it for a battleship!
