The purpose of dispatching "Daily-Bi"-class battleships to escort is, first, to test their airworthiness performance, and second, to show off their military power to European countries.

Looking at the whole world, except for the Chinese civilization circle that emphasizes benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness, many other countries advocate the law of the jungle and regard the survival of the weak as the foundation of the country. Anyone with strong force will launch aggressive acts against other countries to plunder other people's resources and strengthen their own strength.

Faced with such a dangerous world, China, which advocates and advocates Confucian civilization, should also make changes.

Gentle, kind, respectful, frugal, and kind can only be used to cultivate oneself, but it must not be used as a guideline for governing the country.

The inner sage and the outer king are Zhu Youjian’s ultimate ideal and have been practicing it.

These four-character policy will be written into the teachings of the Emperor Ming Dynasty, and descendants must not violate it.

The Ming Dynasty will always interact with other countries in the manner of a king, and the basis for the strong to respect is strong force.

After successfully reaching Europe, the "Sunday" class battleship will conduct a series of "friendly" visits to European powers such as Spain, Portugal, Britain, the Netherlands, France, Prussia, and Sweden, and will invite the navies of various countries to conduct joint exercises with the Ming naval formations at the right time.

It is actually to say that it is an exercise to open the eyes of European countries and see how powerful the most powerful gunboat in today's world is.

The British Navy has seen the fierce firepower of the "Kunlun" class warships, but compared with the "Sunday" class, the firepower of the 80 giant cannons of the "Kunlun" class is obviously not enough.

Zhu Youjian believed that this most advanced battleship would make all Europeans extremely awe of the Ming Dynasty, and the sales of Ming Dynasty goods would be smoother.

The "Sun-Chu" class is not the ultimate goal of the Ming Navy. After building six battleships of the same level, the construction of this template's gunboat will be stopped.

Jinzhou Shipyard is opening a new large dock, a "Pangu"-class cruiser with a full load displacement of up to 3,500 tons will be born in this dock in three years.

Before steam power is used, the "Pangu"-class sea monster will traverse the oceans within decades and become a nightmare for navies around the world.

The new cruiser will be equipped with 180 artillery guns of various caliber, which can form three layers of firepower strikes in the distance, middle and near. This firepower configuration can be enough to deal with the attacks of various enemy ships.

It is no exaggeration to say that if a war occurs with a certain country's navy, a "Pangu" class cruiser can match a small fleet. If there are several "Supplement" and "Splitting" class frigates, this mixed fleet can destroy all naval ships of most European countries.

According to the budget, each "Pangu" class will cost 700,000 to 800,000 silver coins, and the final construction number will be six, of which two are arranged in the South China Sea Fleet, two are arranged in the North China Sea Fleet, and two are arranged in the Indian Ocean Fleet, thus forming six large mixed fleets.

According to the principle of matching the firepower, each cruiser will be equipped with a "Sun-Bi" class battleship, a "Kunlun" class destroyer, four "Sky-Bu Tian" or "Sky-Bai Tian" class frigates, plus a two thousand-ton supply ship.

This kind of mixed fleet is far ahead of other countries in the world for at least fifty years.

According to the information obtained by Zhu Youjian, as the most powerful maritime power today, the Dutch and British Navy have most of the gunboats under it, which are equivalent to the "Butian" and "Litian" class, or slightly stronger, but the number is not too large. Warships like the "Kunlun" class exist as flagships of the fleets of the two countries.

Seeing that the Ming Dynasty, which had been unknown for thousands of years, suddenly rose on the sea and ruled the world with the attitude of a strong man, it was impossible to say that other countries did not have envy, jealousy and hatred.

In addition to the United Kingdom, a maritime power, including the Netherlands, which has a very close relationship with the Ming Dynasty, it is also very contradictory to the Ming Dynasty's "fireship" method, because judging from the current and foreseeable future overall development trends, the Ming Navy will rise and fall, and the gap will be wider and wider, and the Netherlands has no choice but to do anything about it.

There is no way, the Ming Dynasty is too rich.

Whether now or in the future, the navy is a very expensive military service, but it is also the most important and most dependent armed force for all countries. However, if the national strength is too weak, you can only watch other people's gunboats shine in front of you.

Judging from the national systems and national strength of the Netherlands, Britain and other countries, even though they know this principle, they cannot afford to burn money like the Ming Dynasty, and their strength does not allow it.

When the Dutch gunboat design experts learned about the cost of the "Pangu" class that would be launched a few years later, they were also very moved. After hearing that the Ming Dynasty would build six cruisers of this type, the Dutch were even more smug.

This move indicates that from then on, the status of the maritime overlord will be undisputedly attributed to the Ming Dynasty. From then on, they can only be friends, not enemies.

The Ming Dynasty was so rich.

This is a huge sum of more than four million taels of silver!

The annual fiscal revenue of the Dutch government is only slightly higher than this number, but this revenue will be used for various domestic construction and welfare expenses. At the end of the year, there is a slight surplus or a small deficit, which is already a burning incense. The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty directly approved this astronomical expenditure without hesitation.

With the construction of other gunboats, the Dutch calculated it a little and knew that the Ming Dynasty would invest as much as two million Ming silver coins every year in the future, which was unbearable for the finances of European countries.

After learning about the overall development ideas and plans of the Ming Navy, the Dutch government immediately strengthened its ties with the Ming Dynasty and released rumors, hoping to sign a permanent alliance treaty with the Ming Dynasty.

Being friends with strong people is the only correct way out.

In order to show his sincerity, the Dutch government and East India Company's merchant ships brought different numbers and various types of talents to the Ming Dynasty when they came to purchase goods.

Because they knew that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty liked to recruit talents, especially those in mathematics, physics and manufacturing. As long as they could win the favor of His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, the permanent alliance treaty that the Netherlands was extremely eager to reach would probably eventually be approved by the Emperor of Ming Dynasty.

Of course, this is also the news that Zhu You deliberately let the Honglu Temple release after learning about the Dutch's intentions.

Since you have something to ask for me, you have to exchange for what I like, or I will become a Kaizi?
