After the unremitting efforts of the workers of the Brom-Foss Shipyard, the copycat version of the DeFringer, converted from a 10,000-ton abandoned merchant ship, drove from the hidden dry dock into the open shipyard for repair dock under the towing of several tugboats.

"Silem, are you sure you can deceive the British intelligence personnel?" Erich Redell stood on this copycat battle patrol, stretched out his hand to caress the 350mm giant cannon models with undried paint, and chatted.

The Battle of Doger Shazhou planned by Wang Heidi was secretly passed by the General Staff of the Navy, headed by General Haining-Veng Hezendorf. A group of enthusiastic and bold naval officials tried to bypass the conservative veterans of the twilight Navy and the eccentric emperor, and used the excuse of routine combat cruises of the First Reconstruction Fleet to provoke trouble and create trouble, causing the main force of the Ocean Fleet to have to reinforce. For this reason, Lieutenant General Reinhard Scher's third battleship squadron and Lieutenant General Franz-Veng Hippel's first reconnaissance fleet carried out formation coordination and cross-fire training in the narrow waters of the Jede Bay. Wang Heidi, who had served as the mobilization staff of the reserve fleet, rushed to Hamburg Port. After a quick look, he carefully selected an abandoned 10,000-ton old merchant ship, and began strategic deception and warship disguise before the Battle of Doger Shazhou.

After three consecutive days of hard work, the copycat version of the Defringer battle patrol was freshly released under the disguise of Germany's strong industrial strength and the skilled worker of the shipyard. At first glance, it looked quite like a large ship and a giant cannon. Although the proportion of the copycat cargo hull was somewhat different from the Defringer battle patrol, the unique large deep corner bow of the Defringer has a clear bow with a long bow, the long forecastle island and four front two rear two double double-mounted 350mm heavy artillery designs were fully displayed by the copycat, which was enough to make the fake real.

"I don't expect to hide it for how long. It's enough to interfere with the judgment of the Ocean Fleet in a short time!" When he said this, Wang Heidi was already hurriedly walking along the gangway towards the dock, with only these three big words "I'm very busy" on his face.

"Time is life", this sentence is cliché, but it is of great significance to the German Empire, which has gradually fallen into the rhythm of attrition and protracted war. These six heavy words are enough to make Wang Heidi sacrifice her head and shed her blood.

In fact, as a deputy of the First Reconnaissance Fleet, Wang Heidi could have lived a leisurely life, and laziness was once the biggest pursuit of the otakus. However, in this critical situation, Germany's decline in the land battlefield gradually emerged, and Wang Heidi had to let go of the scatteredness she had before. For that glimmer of hope, Wang Heidi's next stop was the Shuofei Shipyard in the desolate and remote East Prussia's Danze Bay.

When Wang Heidi rushed to Danze Shuoxiao Shipyard, the battleship ship lying in the dry dock had already hung colorful flags. Under the operation of the shipyard workers and sailors assigned to the battleship, the high tripod on the ship was quickly dismantled. The nameplate of "Salamis" hung at the bow of the battleship was replaced with the words "deutschland" and everything was telling the world that the battleship abandoned by the Greek government was not demolished by the shipyard as the German government claimed, but was renamed the German and secretly transferred to the remote and desolate Danze Shuoxiao Shipyard to continue construction.

Surrounded by the shipyard manager and the officers and soldiers of the USS German combat patrol ship, Wang Heidi, deputy commander of the First Reconnaissance Fleet in the uniform of a major general, approached the battle patrol with a rough fate and complex bloodline. The otaku took a bottle of champagne and waited for the warship to be launched.

"The soldiers of the German warship, but the hard-working creators of Zeshuoxiao Shipyard, today, November 11th, is a great day!" Wang Heidi stood on a high platform in the dry dock, facing thousands of workers and sailors holding champagne high and said: "In 1913, the Greek government ordered a 14-inch gun from the Krupp Company. In order to complete the task with quality and quantity, hundreds of technicians and thousands of workers at the Blom-Foss Shipyard worked day and night, and the Knuber Company even specially developed a 14-inch main gun. On August 4, the war

It broke out, and the Greek government announced that it would give up the battle patrol of the Salamis. The shipbuilding schedules of the six major shipyards were lined up because of the war. At this time, the battle patrol of the Salamis had just been laid, and the hull was only 1/3. The Admiralty Department suggested that this battle patrol be destroyed. I persuade General Hippel to insist, because I think this unfinished battle cruiser is worth saving, because Germany's war resources are not allowed to be wasted, because the workers at Zeshuoxiao Shipyard are the best technicians in the world, because the German Navy has enough patience to wait for this battle patrol!"

The deafening shouts came from the dock. The young sailors and workers were full of pride. They shouted hard, and the sound almost overturned the steel dome of the dry dock.

Wang Heidi stood on the platform with a calm smile. Wang Heidi was confused in front of the computer for more than ten years in his previous life, and wasted her youth carefully. Until he stood on this platform, carrying endless momentum and listening to the rhythm of the great era, the careless otaku suddenly realized that he liked this feeling.

"On behalf of the Imperial Navy, I would like to thank the Danzeshuoxia Shipyard staff for their hard work over the past three months, and thank the German crew for their unyielding resignation. I want to say - Long live Danzeshuoxia Shipyard! Long live the Ocean Fleet! Long live Germany!"

Wang Heidi smashed the champagne in his hand at the bow nameplate of the German battlecruiser, completing the final etiquette of launching the warship - the "Bottle Broken Gift". Navigation is a difficult and dangerous cause, always accompanied by countless shipwrecks and unpredictable deaths. Legend has it that when the mellow champagne is covered with the bow of the ship, it can avoid disasters, so each ship must hold a "Bottle Broken Gift" before launching.

The champagne touched the cold steel, and the sound of bursting was heart-pounding. With the heavy breathing of the otaku and the fanatical shouts of the water soldiers, on November 11, 1914, the Danze Bay in the Baltic Sea, which British intelligence personnel did not notice, was a new battle cruiser equipped with 23,500 tons of water load, with 22 boilers and two steam engines, with a maximum speed of 23 knots, equipped with 4 double-mounted 350mm main guns and 10 150mm secondary guns, slid towards the sea along the track. This battle cruiser will be equipped and sea trials in Danze Bay, and the officers and soldiers will also follow the battleships to train. At the latest in January 1915, this battle cruiser, which is not in the sight of the large fleet, will join Lieutenant General Hippel's first reconnaissance fleet in a new posture, which will surprise the proud British!

"Major General Silame, you are not only an outstanding naval commander, but also an excellent propagandist." The manager of Danze Shuoxiao Shipyard came over and whispered a compliment.

"Order?" Wang Heidi smiled. If Raidel heard these words, he would have been impatient to jump out of the ugly appearance of the black-bellied otaku after being drunk, and counted the promotion paths that the otaku had been suppressed for his crazy words. "If you don't mention these, how is the construction progress of the Luzov?"

"The Luzov battle patrol started on July 16, 1912. When the war broke out, the hull project had been completed by 3/4. At the urging of the Admiral and General Hippel, we accelerated the construction speed. The Luzov was launched on October 31, and by March next year, this latest battle patrol will join the Ocean Fleet!"

The manager said as he walked, leading Wang Heidi into another outfitted ship platform. He saw a beautiful warship quietly docking on the ship platform, with an inverted V-shaped bow, a long bow island, a high freeboard and a triangular mast, a hull that was hoisting the gun barrel, and a nameplate of the "luetzow" hanging on the bow.

There is no doubt that this is the 3,1000-ton design displacement of the second ship of the Deflinger-class battle patrol, 14 boilers using oil and coal mixed combustion, 2 steam turbines, a maximum power of 63,000 horsepower, a maximum speed of 26.5 knots, 4 seats specially designed for the Salamis Battle Patrol, 350mm dual-mounted 35cm-skl/50 main guns, 12 150mm (5.9 inches)/45-diameter single-mounted cannons, the thickest part of the main armor belt of the waterline belt is close to 300 mm, and the thickest part of the flat armor plate is also 200 mm. In addition, the watertight compartment design and the watertight compartment adopt double longitudinal partitions, the comprehensive strength of the Luzov battle patrol is no less than that of an ordinary dreadnought.

"General, to be honest, the situation is not optimistic. The navy partly assigned to us shipbuilding mission was scheduled until 1916, and the resources allocated to us were not enough to support the shipyard's shipbuilding plan. For example, the Bavarian-class battleship No. 2 handed over to us by the Navy Department began construction on December 22, 1913. Due to the lack of Knuber steel, we could only delay its launch date again and again. The most optimistic estimate was that it would be delayed until March 1915. As far as I know, the construction of the Bavarian-class ship of the Kilhovald shipyard was the fastest, but we had to wait until around January 1915 to launch."

"This is a good ending..." Wang Heidi turned his head and looked at the dry dock where the battleship Baden was repairing and stopped, and said indifferently.

Historically, the German Navy lost its power in the Gulf of Helgoland and gave up control of the North Sea. The arrogant Royal Navy not only arbitrarily seized German merchant ships, but also refused to give in to arms smuggling ships with American and Dutch flags. The iron ore of Norway and Sweden could only transport them from the Baltic Sea and East Prussia into the German industrial zone under the threat of the Royal Navy light ships. In this life, the German Navy occupied the sea control power of the North Sea, and Norwegian and Swedish merchant ships entered and exited the North Sea at will. The miserable British people did not dare to make too many enemies, and turned a blind eye to the arms smuggling ships of neutral countries. Therefore, Germany could also obtain strategic resources such as iron ore and saltpeter from overseas.

"Whoever wins the blockade of the Great Fleet and the breakout of the Ocean Fleet, let's see!"

[It's a bit of a bloody look, can you accept it? Can you accept the foreshadowing of the Salamis Battle Tour?]
