Chapter 575: Twelve. Conference, dance (5)

"Are you sure? ... No, it doesn't matter, you don't need to go too deep, just keep the status quo."
The bell sounded at three o'clock in the afternoon, and the clock gave a clear time. Richelieu, who was carrying a cup of luck, took into Nidhog's field of vision. While raising his eyebrows slightly, he turned back to the microphone, and the ivory phone made a clear sound of "ding". , Into the aftertone of the bell that stops the time.
"Can we continue? Or listen to the latest news first, Mr. President?"
The harsh voice made Niederhogger couldn't help wanting to slap. Richelieu did not speak to him, but facing Li Lin’s condescending attitude called Niederhogg.
This is not a classroom in an elementary school. Even a prime minister of a country, speaking to the president and vice president in the consortium headquarters building with the harsh face of the math teacher, it is too much to be overconfident.
While leaning back and answering: "Sorry, answering the phone during the conversation, it was rude", and after crossing his eyes with Li Lin's permission, the consortium's second-hand expressionless face turned towards Richelieu and the entourage behind him.
"The news came from the Holy City just now that Her Highness Lady Ji Aier will leave Ymir and will arrive in Rudes in a few days."
"It turns out that it is really a competent man."
The Prime Minister threw ironic puns and stared at Li Lin.
"With such outstanding staff, it is no wonder that V.E Company can grow to the point where it is today, do you say yes? Your Excellency Li Lin."
"You laughed, compared with Miss Milledee's excellence, my non-influential fledglings are just ugly."
"Where, the courage to share information publicly in front of me is not something everyone has."
With the wine from Brittany, Prime Minister Richelieu nodded slightly, and the glamorous woman behind was motionless. Regardless of whether the words are just polite, dare to face this old man who has built a huge intelligence network like a spider. There was no second person except Li Lin who shared the information frankly.
Similarly, those who dare to come to the company's headquarters to discuss military affairs with their hearts and minds, Richelieu also ranks among the only ones.
After the royalists were completely defeated, v.e and the Royal Government maintained an alliance based on common interests. However, without the lubrication of the nails in the eyes, and afterwards dealing with the differences between the royalists, the interaction between the two parties became somewhat lagging and stiff. High-level meetings like now are also full of subtle atmosphere.
Fortunately, there are many materials to maintain this interest alliance, such as-
"If Her Majesty the Lady visits Rudes in person and calls on all parties to reach an agreement. I am afraid it will eventually become a situation where all parties take a step back."
Shaking the red wine, Richelieu exhaled a burning breath.
The so-called saint is a "living symbol" of the belief in the mother goddess in the human camp.
The faith of the entire human camp is not confined to one sect, although the largest denomination is the Church of the Holy Mafa of Ymir, the largest denomination, but it can be explained by different interpretations of the doctrine. There are also regional cultural differences and other factors, as well as Huguenots, Calvinism, Albion Anglican and other branch denominations. What keeps these different denominations together and avoids splitting is the
holy daughter
who represents the wise species, humanity, and serves the mother goddess. By jointly recognizing the existence of the "holy daughter", the human camp was prevented from falling into internal religious disputes, and Ymir also successfully maintained the status of "sovereign" by supporting the holy daughter.
When the virgin, who is usually invisible, appeared in Rudes's negotiation venue, all parties must seriously consider reaching an agreement and take a step back from each other, so that an arms control agreement will eventually be reached.
"The third plan can finally come in handy."
Open your hands. Li Lin said with a smile.
From the beginning, this was counted.
In any case, the church wants to facilitate the conclusion of an arms control agreement to prevent breaking the balance of power. There are only two cards that can function in their hands.
One is the saint, and the other is that the country’s monarch, who announced that it will undermine negotiations, will leave the church.
The latter is a method of tearing the face, and the current situation does not need to be so extreme. It is inevitable to send a saint to facilitate an agreement. The third plan was prepared to deal with this situation.
In the third option, the Navy of Charlemagne accepted a tonnage ratio of 60%, and the compensation for cruisers was also abandoned. at the same time. Charlemagne will clearly propose the division and limitation of cruisers. That is, the upper limit of the cruiser's displacement is defined as not exceeding 1500 metric tons, and is divided into "light" and "heavy" categories. However, the distinction between light cruisers and heavy cruisers is not based on tonnage, but on the artillery equipped. Regardless of its tonnage, all 24-gun guns or artillery with a caliber are heavy cruisers, and those with 16-pound guns or 76mm calibers are light cruisers. The construction tonnage of heavy cruisers is restricted, while light cruisers are more relaxed.
As the saying goes, the devil is hidden in the details. On the face of it, Charlemagne suffered a big loss, but from a political and technical point of view, Albion was the one who lost money.
"This is the newly designed De Grasse light cruiser."
Niederhogger spread out the drawings, and Li Lin pointed out the key point to get over Richelieu.
"Because of the new shipbuilding technology, the tonnage of this type of ship is controlled at about 1350 tons, and 76mm cannons are installed."
It seems to be in full compliance with the limited standard for light cruisers in the third plan, but in fact only the tonnage and artillery caliber did not exceed the bottom line.
"This ship is equipped with 68 76mm cannons. All the positions are designed according to the recoil when the gun is fired. Once the treaty is invalid, you can immediately change the gun when you enter the war and have the same firepower as the second-class battleship. The cabin Space is reserved for the installation of the latest steam paddle wheel propulsion device. The number of artillery can be reduced as needed to install a steam engine to strengthen the engine power. In addition, the hull of the important part of the hull is provided with a connecting bolt, which can be covered with a layer of iron or copper shell. Increase protection."
This design is too foul, but it is not without "precedent" to follow. Another world during the "Navy Holiday" in the 1930s, the highest-level light cruiser built by the Foot Basin Navy and the Brooklyn-class light cruiser built by the ghosts of the United States were the product of this slippery road. ~EbookFREE.me~ In the field of cruisers, hull protection is designed according to the defense of heavy cruisers. Hulls with a displacement of more than (10,000) tons can be inserted into a total of 15 main guns, and the main guns can be replaced at any time, turning into a heavy cruiser. Only John Bull had an intermittent fossil disease at this time, and built an Edinburgh-class light cruiser with only 12 6-inch guns. Most of the British Empire thought that only they could be shameless, and they didn’t know that their two apprentices had lost their ethics long ago. The dog is...
Archbishop Li likes this kind of practice. When the quantity cannot exceed his opponents, he can only use his brains in terms of quality. Although Li Lin and he mentioned that new technology has risks, it is a little risky compared with national security interests. what?
"but……"
The Prime Minister's eyes narrowed slightly, making a sound that hit the point.
"It's not so good that the wishes of Pope Yan have been fulfilled..."
ps:
In the evening, there is a double change, so stay tuned.
