Redell took the thick stack of information handed over by Roger, and was stunned by his beautiful appearance and powerful data just as soon as he opened the first page.

The baseline displacement is 41,700 tons, the full load displacement is 50,900 tons,

Total length 251 meters, full width 36 meters, draft 9.0 meters (standard), 9.6 meters (normal), 10.2 meters (full load)

Maximum stable power of 150170 horsepower, maximum extreme power of 163026 horsepower, maximum speed of 30.8 knots (stable), 31.5 knots (extreme speed) stagnation distance of 8525 nautical miles 19 knots

4 seats dual-mounted 380mm main guns, 6 seats dual-mounted 150mm secondary guns, 8 seats dual-mounted 105mm high-level dual-purpose guns, 8 seats dual-mounted 37mm anti-aircraft guns, 12 seats single-barrel 20mm anti-aircraft guns, and 2 seats quadruple 20mm anti-aircraft guns.

The armor is: side 145-320 mm, upper armor deck 50-80 mm, main armor deck 80-120 mm, head and tail lateral partition 100-320 mm, turret 130-360 mm, cannon seat 340 mm, command tower 350 mm, lightning protection 45 mm.

That's right, this is the Bismarck-level that made the Germans both proud and heartbroken in World War II! If this data is obtained in the middle and late stages of World War II, compared with Iowa, Yamato and others, but in 1926, it would be a bug.

Roger had some considerations about what kind of battleship his first battleship should be. Obviously, facing the powerful Japanese Navy, the Qiongya Navy was like a toddler, and it was difficult to win a head-on battleship fleet. The battle style was also the idea of ​​building an army that the Japanese Navy had always implemented. In this way, it was not a wise choice to attack the opponent's strengths with his own weaknesses. What's more, even though he knew that the future ocean was the ocean of aircraft carriers, he still insisted on building battleships on his own, which was not the action that a time traveler should do.

The focus of the construction of the Qiongya Navy in the future will not be battleships, but aircraft carriers.

Based on this point, Roger's request for this battleship is:

First, the overall design of this warship should be tilted towards the attack ship, rather than using battleships for the fleet to fight decisive battles.

Second, this warship must be majestic and handsome enough to become a spiritual symbol and sustenance for China, allowing the people who have been tortured by endless invasions of powers and civil wars of warlords to find a spiritual pillar, revitalize the national spirit, and at the same time win enough reputation for themselves!

Third, because according to Roger's future plan, this warship will have a high possibility of fighting against Japanese battleships. Its combat effectiveness is required to win the battle, and at least it must ensure that it will not be sunk.

Taking into account these requirements and taking into account all battleships that have not yet appeared, it is obviously the most suitable one that is the German Bismarck class.

First of all, the speed of the Bismarck class is enough to cope with all the current Japanese naval battleships. Even when facing Japan's ultimate battleship Yamato, it has a huge advantage. You can freely choose whether to go or fight, and warships below the level of battleships do not pose a threat to it at all.

Secondly, the Bismarck-class firepower is enough to cope with the situation. According to the original history, Bismarck's firepower is indeed painful. The more than ten-year gap period of the naval warfare caused by the Versailles Treaty seriously hindered the research of the German main gun.

However, no matter how bad the 380 caliber is, it is still 380 caliber. The main gun used for the attack ship is sufficient. As long as the opponent is not the latest Japanese warship, it is completely sufficient to use. But then again, after looking through the war history of the Japanese Navy, you will find that this worry is completely unnecessary. The Japanese have always regarded super warships like Nagato and Yamato as "a trump card that must not be used until the last moment". During World War II, the younger brothers fought to the death with the Americans and squatted at home to watch their children. I think Bismarck would not have a chance to fight with others. After all, if he really encountered a speed that was a little higher than the other party, he could still slip away.

Although the arrangement of the four double-mounted turrets is one less gun than the 3×3 and one more turret that needs protection, it is easier to disperse firepower to multiple targets, which is very important for attack ships that attack with few attacks.

Finally, there is Bismarck's protection. Many people are urging Bismarck's comprehensive protection concept and dome armor outdated, but in fact, we must look at this issue from Bismarck's positioning.

The characteristics of comprehensive protection are like its name. Every part of the body is defenseless. In addition to the armor outside the warship, the dome armor also has a dome-like armor cover protection. This is a typical protection mode during World War I. Its advantage is that it has comprehensive protection. Its exquisite design is extremely difficult to sink.

Under a certain tonnage, comprehensive armor distribution will inevitably lower the armor thickness of the main parts, which makes it difficult for the warship's turrets, bridges and other parts to cope with the threat of the enemy's main battleship, and it is easy to be knocked out of commanders, main guns, etc., thereby seriously affecting the combat effectiveness of the warship.

It can be said that in a top showdown, the Bismarck class with full protection may be knocked out of all the turrets within one hour of the game, completely losing its attack ability, but it is more likely that they can still drive away from the battlefield with all the shells until the opponent has exhausted all the shells.

So when World War II was in World War II, the Americans' key protection model was widely popular. They believed that battleships were a consumable, as long as they could shoot enough shells before sinking, and not all parts of the warship would have serious consequences, just as being hit by a person's limbs and hitting the head was not the same as the same concept. Key protection greatly weakened the protection ability of the "limbs" to strengthen the protection ability of the "head" and allow the key parts to be best protected. Non-key parts would not have serious consequences even if they were hit, so that the warship would maintain combat effectiveness before sinking.

But this brings up a problem - the key parts are indeed indestructible, but what about those non-key parts? With a significant reduction in armor, even if it is not a force ship, as long as it is equipped with a slightly larger caliber battleship, it can destroy these parts at will.

By comparing the two, we can find that in the battleships of the same level, it is obvious that key protection is more advantageous and can maintain combat effectiveness throughout the process. However, comprehensive protection is easy to be knocked out and can only be beaten and not fight back. It is better to use battleships to use battleships in the decisive battle.

But the main task of the Bismarck class is the attack ship, which is born to bully the weak. For these "lightweight" opponents, the comprehensive protection warship is difficult to shake any part, but it can cause damage to non-key parts of the key protection warship. Obviously, the Bismarck class dome armor plus comprehensive protection is more suitable for the attack ship role than the key protection of Iowa and Yamato.

Moreover, as the spiritual pillar in the hearts of the Chinese in the future, this battleship can be crippled, but it must not be crippled. Although the Bismarck class is easily crippled in battles of the same level, its small strong attributes in terms of anti-sinking properties are notorious.

The situation of the German navy in the early stages of World War II gave the Bismarck class these unique characteristics. The technology used was indeed outdated and old-fashioned than other new warships, but it was indeed the most suitable choice for Germany at that time.

For Roger, who also needs to face an enemy of an island country with a strong navy and is in a very similar situation to Germany before World War II, this is also the most suitable choice for him.
