Clemenceau runs so fast that it’s not an exaggeration to call it a battle cruiser.
Chapter 148 Cruiser's Answer
But here comes the painful part for Wei An.
The 381mm main gun is already the main gun of a battleship.
So there was a huge problem. It was hard to find a main gun of this caliber. Even Lexington couldn't find a suitable main gun.
If he had to choose from 381mm, Wei An had no other choice in mind.
The Veneto sister uses a powder cannon. The 381mm main gun has a vertical penetration of 406mm and is the most powerful main gun in its class.
The disadvantages are also very obvious, such as excessive dispersion and barrel life.
But is the barrel life still a problem for ship girls?
As for walking, the depth is comparable to that of 406, what else do you want? Comparing the disadvantages with the advantages, it is not a problem.
What's more, the ship girls under his command have a higher hit rate than other ship girls after installing radar, which can make up for this shortcoming to a certain extent.
The only difficulty is that the source of this gun is Veneto or the Veneto-class battleship.
Littorio, Veneto and Roma all carry this type of main gun, and Veneto also has an improved version.
The method to obtain it is also very simple. Find these ship girls and build good relationships with them, gradually heat up the relationship, and finally make them shy.
Needless to say, she was shy. He had never even seen her shadow in all the time he had been in the academy. Before each creation, he would drink a few more sips of coffee just to see if he could create her.
I wonder if there is some bond between them, but as expected, there isn't.
【Hey, VV. 】
[My grandmother was from the Empire, my mother was from the Empire, and even my last name is Wei, so I have some L-country blood in me, why don't you come out?]
Just like other predecessors who have traveled through time, Wei An also has a girl he loves in his heart.
Mrs. Lexington was everyone's favorite, but he liked VV because she herself fell in love with coffee and wanted to taste what her big torpedo tasted like.
Take a sip of the still warm coffee and feel the bitterness.
Wei An cut off his divergent thoughts and continued to devote himself to the struggle.
Without Veneto, he still has another path, research and development.
After all, he has Clemenceau, which has a 381mm main gun. Although it cannot be obtained directly like Yukikaze, a battleship is parked there.
As a ship designer, shouldn't he be able to enter the battleship and analyze it carefully?
As long as he can understand the general principles, he can already make ship equipment.
If we can observe the Clemenceau battleship in person, wouldn't we be able to get more specific parameters?
Under such circumstances, making ship equipment would be a piece of cake.
As for why Vian knew about this problem, we have to look for the cause from Saratoga.
The equipment on her was obviously more valuable than that on Shropshire, and he had been on both of their ships during this time.
When he saw the [BTD-1 Destroyer] on the battleship Saratoga, an idea came to his mind.
Bomber, purple bomber.
The main reason why Saratoga is so powerful now is that she is naturally equipped with stronger bombers than most ship girls.
When the aircraft carrier is difficult to mount, fighting like a Bumblebee will give you an advantage over other aircraft carrier girls.
Although a maximum of 15 aircraft can be generated, it is much better than having no ship girls at all.
The most important thing is that, apart from being found in deep-sea spoils, the only other sources of this type of bomber are those that come with Lexington and Saratoga.
Unfortunately, both ship girls were here with him.
He didn't dare sell colored carrier-based aircraft, but there was no problem with the purple ones. There were many aircraft carriers like Saratoga that lacked bombers.
Then the resources he may be lacking now can be quickly filled if shipments are slow.
By this group of rich women.
And why did it take so long for Lexington and Xuefeng before?
Because they went there to scout the market for future sales.
So when Wei'an had some free time, he would stay on Saratoga's ship and observe these carrier-based aircraft.
Then I spent 2000 energy points with some pain, and as expected, the difficulty of imitation was lower than I expected.
In particular, the parameters of many ship equipment are more detailed than those in his talent collection.
He knew the general principles and perfected them himself, but he only understood the ship equipment on Saratoga bit by bit and copied it by example.
It only took 2000 energy points, and except for the first time when I failed due to lack of skill, I easily completed it the second time.
It also opened up a new world for Wei An.
The previous ship equipment of the KanColles were no longer useless data and could really be used by him. He also found that he understood the meaning of the data that he had not been able to understand before on other carrier-based aircraft equipment.
The real treasure trove lies not in his talent, but in the ship girls around him and their ships.
Just spending a little bit of resources would allow him to greatly improve his understanding of this type of ship equipment, which would be of great help to his research and development inspiration.
Therefore, in the absence of a powder gun, Clemenceau's 381mm main gun is also an alternative for Vian.
But after all, he expected the battleship's displacement to be around 3 tons, and the space occupied by the quadruple main gun would be larger than that of the triple one.
Moreover, after the quad-mounted main guns are installed, if they are changed to triple-mounted ones in the future, the current ship design will still have an impact on the future.
The use may not be so perfect.
Unless he gets the data on the powder cannon later and changes it to a quadruple mount.
[Wait, change it to four links? ]
Thinking of this, Wei An's mind suddenly became clear.
What are his cruiser requirements?
The firepower against conventional battleships may also be the warship that he will sail most frequently besides destroyers in the future.
Because he wanted to control the battleship's displacement to around 3 tons, so after meeting the most basic speed and fixing the reserved holes.
In the case of heavy air defense and firepower, other equipment will definitely be reduced.
The advantages of the quadruple turret are also obvious. It shortens the length of the core area, making it easier to protect. It is easier to concentrate firepower and can also reduce the tonnage of the warship with the same number of main guns.
Disadvantages: high failure rate, low hit rate; the turret is large and the width of the hull is forced to increase.
But most of the problems can be solved by Wei'an, so that's not a problem.
The Quadruple Cannon has a lot of negative buffs stacked up, but if these problems can be solved, it will undoubtedly be the strongest main gun in the same level, no doubt about it.
As long as we can get deep sea combat recovery capabilities and improve the fire control system.
His cruisers will also be the strongest cruisers. They can do what destroyers can do and deal with opponents that battleships can deal with. Their only weakness may be that they are a little fragile.
The battlecruiser that belonged to him for security, the assassin in the fleet.

Chapter 149: Admiral of the Navy
"Brother Yuan, what does the Governor mean?"
In the quiet corridor, the bespectacled young man in a white navy uniform asked in a low voice to the tall and thin man who had just walked out of the room.
He was also accompanied by a blue-eyed, blonde girl, who followed him silently, like a robot.
If Wei An were here, he would definitely recognize that this girl is very similar to Hood, the flagship of the E-Union.
Or rather, she is the Hood.
"After March, we'll start when there are the fewest people."
"By that time, the assessment of their academy will have been completed, and most of the admirals and ship girls will have dispersed. There will be no new admirals entering the academy, and that will be the time when they are at their weakest."
Although they also wanted to dismember the ship girl group as soon as possible, they also wanted to do so in a way that reduced casualties.
"But it was also the best time to catch them all in one fell swoop. An insider from the KanColle headquarters reported the information and went to a joint department, which was the E joint department, which was not very strong."
"So how many people are we sending out this time?"
"According to the Governor's emphasis on those shipgirls, most of them will go, except for those who stay to guard the deep sea."
"If this worry is not removed, the Governor will never be able to sleep well."
"Is that so...Thank you, Brother Yuan. I'll go back early to prepare."
"Don't plunder too much this time. Leave some resources for your commanders. We'll need them as cannon fodder this time."
"clear."
The boy with glasses walked away at a rhythmic pace, and Hood followed him indifferently the whole time.
Watching the boy’s back completely disappear, the tall and thin young man sighed.
"Who knows if we will be cannon fodder again this time?"
Compared to the young man who just left, Zhou Yuan, as the closest commander to the Eastern Navy Governor, has experienced much more than them.
Know more.
Most of the admirals here were selected by the KanColle Union, and most of them were eliminated due to their good conduct or were expelled from school.
The navy gave them the opportunity to break away from the ordinary class and become an admiral.
It just has a bad reputation.
Ever since the Governor-General declared war on the Ship Girls, those weak women did not even have the courage to launch an attack, just as they had expected.
Or are they still holding on to that ridiculous kindness?
The boy who just left was a microcosm of their Eastern Navy.
During this period of time, many admirals came to ask him when to send troops. They were eager to expose the false faces of those self-righteous people.
But only a small number of navy officers, including him, knew why they had not sent troops yet.
Most of the admirals in the navy had opinions and prejudices against that group of ship girls. They believed that they blocked their chances of climbing up the ladder and arrogantly shut them out.
It is obvious that they all have the talent to become admirals, but they are not even given the chance. Fortunately, the navy allows them to build ship girls, and now they have become admirals.
The Admiral Academy is like a goddess that keeps them out. If they don't become an admiral there, they are a failure. Most people still believe that the admirals there are the most orthodox.
Especially after arriving at the navy, the big fish eat the small fish internally, and the oppression and exploitation of the weak admirals by the powerful admirals above made them jealous of those admirals who were assigned jobs safely after graduation.
Why can they easily get the rare resources that they can only obtain through fighting, robbing and cheating?
And you don't have to be watched so much by other admirals.
The Ship Girls Union has been tolerant and retreating for a long time, and most of the Ship Girls who are often on expedition missions are not very strong, but they do not have to live such a hard life like them.
Just set your sights on this piece of fat meat.
A group of the most useless admirals occupied most of the garrisons in the resource-rich sea areas, while a group of war consumables that could be consumed at any time were riding on the heads of their navy.
Obviously, they are the admirals, and the ship girls dare not disobey their orders. However, some of the disobedient ship girls are prone to sinking themselves, which gives them a headache.
Zhou Yuan once voluntarily left the Admiral Academy, so he was not as extreme as other naval admirals.
In the 20 years since he came to the Navy, he can no longer go back to the past and can only go down this path to the end, witnessing a lot of darkness here.
At first I knew about the KanColle Union, then I hated it, and now I understand it.
Most of the admirals in the navy are not willing to accept this. At least in his eyes, they are a group of extremists who are easily instigated.
They always think about taking revenge on the KanColle Union, but they don't realize that this weak image is also what the navy's top brass like to see.
How can we make them willingly become cannon fodder and fight against those actually very powerful ship girls without brainwashing and incitement?
The more they are exploited internally, the more they will pounce on it like a vicious dog when a piece of fat meat comes in front of them.
Seeing them treating the ship girls like consumables, he felt extremely heartbroken, but the only thing he could protect was the girl next to him.
This was the last kindness in his heart as the former admiral of the academy, and he can never go back.
"Commander, what are you doing here?"
