Chapter 1222: 1223Buy a boat
At this time, the navy was weak, and the benefits of its newly formed formation became apparent: the Orc Navy took the lead in acquiring 5 Beiyuan-class destroyers. Although these destroyers were built earlier and are older, they are indeed radar destroyers, which are much more advanced than similar warships in other Imperial Navy.
Subsequently, Beidao also purchased 7 destroyers of the same model, maintaining almost the same naval size as the Orcs of the main island: both sides now have 8 and 7 destroyers respectively, which can be regarded as maintaining a balance of power.
Chu State also purchased Beiyuan-type destroyers from the Tang Empire, but Chu State purchased more, purchasing 11 Beiyuan-type destroyers in one go. It is considered a large user of Beiyuan-type destroyers.
Another big customer is the State of Qin. After the Qin Empire controlled the ports in the southern part of Shu, it gained access to the sea and suddenly opened up the situation.
Now, the Great Qin Empire is about to build its own navy: in addition to the old warships retained by the surrender of Shu, the Qin State urgently needs a large number of warships to enrich its navy.
Ever since, purchasing Beiyuan-class destroyers from the Tang Empire has become Qin's best choice for building a navy: Tang Mo's father-in-law purchased 12 Beiyuan-class destroyers in one go, which can be said to be wealthy in a sense. .
The main reason why Qin was willing to purchase so many warships was that it hoped to weaken Tang's naval strength by purchasing Tang warships and lay the foundation for future operations.
Dorne and the Lions Empire also have this intention. These two empires in the Eastern Continent each purchased 5 Beiyuan-class destroyers, which can be regarded as their own contribution to "weakening" the strength of the Tang Dynasty navy. share of strength.
Another country in the Eastern Continent that is in urgent need of battleships is the Yangmu Empire. They are eager to put pressure on the Ice Empire, so they also purchased 3 Beiyuan-class destroyers and 3 Tang Empire radar cruisers.
Although the combat effectiveness of this destroyer is actually not comparable to that of cruisers and battleships, its radar system can indeed complete tasks such as search and warning.
The Yangmu Empire Navy hopes that these destroyers can become guidance and command ships, responsible for guiding its own warships to avoid the opponent's main fleet and find the opponent's transport fleet to break up the engagement.
Although the transport ships of the Ice Empire will not go south easily, it would be nice to sneak attack the route between the Ice Empire and the North Island, wouldn't it?
In this way, a total of 51 Beiyuan-class destroyers of the Tang Empire were sold, which is almost equivalent to the sale of all destroyers that have not been converted into guided missile destroyers.
The total number of warships of the Datang Empire Navy, which has been cleared of a large wave of inventory, has shrunk a lot. This has given the navies of many countries hope to surpass the Datang Empire Navy.
In just a few months, the total number of aircraft carriers built by navies around the world has suddenly increased to 19. Although some have a tonnage of less than 20,000 and are considered to be make-up products, the number has indeed increased a lot.
In addition, the Qin Empire purchased Cyric's technology from Dorne and began to build two battleships in the ports of Shu.
According to Ying Duo's thinking: Other naval powers have battleships, how can our Great Qin Empire not have them? No matter what, we have to build two ships!
So, just when almost the whole world stopped building heavy battleships, Qin resolutely started building two super battleships with a displacement of more than 50,000 tons!
At the same time, Qin also purchased an aircraft carrier from the Tang Empire and started building two of its own.
Unlike other countries, by virtue of his status as the "father-in-law of the Emperor of the Tang Empire", the Qin State even obtained the hull drawings of the old aircraft carriers of the Tang Empire, and what was started to be built turned out to be the same model of aircraft carriers that the Tang Empire had eliminated!
Even though it is obsolete, this thing is an advanced weapon that other countries cannot buy! Even though it is just a structural hull, it will save a lot of time in future modifications. Compared with those countries that are still studying whether the chimney should be tilted down and whether the bridge should be designed symmetrically from left to right, Qin has actually won at the starting line.
Dorn launched and built 3 heavy cruisers, 5 cruisers, and 10 destroyers during the same period. Because of Pan Yiping's radar technology, these new warships have reserved space for radar installation when they are built.
Compared with the old models of warships in the past, the new warships have greatly improved detection and perception. The Dorne Empire is confident that it has found a way to defeat the Tang Empire Navy.
Another reason why Dorn was so confident was that they started building 25 submarines through imitation and improvement.
If these submarines are allowed to go into war, Dorn believes that they can cut off the Tang Empire's important maritime transportation lines and paralyze the Datang Empire's material dispatch.
As long as this strategic goal is achieved, Dragon Island will be isolated, the war potential of the Tang Empire will be compressed, and Dorne will be able to compete for the outcome of the war.
In addition to Dorne, the Lions Empire is also working hard to build their submarines and warships, and their number is about the same as Dorne. In addition, the Lions Empire also launched many large transport ships.
In King Lions I’s strategic plan, the sneak attack on Dragon Island has always been the most important part. Because the opportunity for the Lions Empire to become a first-class power was its accidental takeover of the Bunas region.
So in the eyes of Lions I, controlling part of the territory of the Tang Empire and digesting its technology and production capacity was the shortcut to becoming stronger! That's why he was so obsessed with controlling Dragon Island in the Tang Empire.
After all, he has long heard the saying that the world's weapons came out of Dragon Island, and this statement has been confirmed long ago.
It's just that this Dragon Island is not the Bunas at his doorstep, and it can't be conquered casually.
So he needs to accumulate more strength for this. According to his idea... transporting a hundred thousand troops to Dragon Island in one go should still be able to accomplish something.
Of course, all this will have to wait until Dorne and Qin gain an advantage. Lions wants to be the oriole flying behind, and he will not be the first bird.
What Lions I didn’t know was that Dorne I actually thought the same way. And besides the two of them, many people think so.
Everyone hopes that a hero will emerge who can compete with the Tang Empire, so that they can step on the hero's corpse and share the fruits of victory.
At this time, Tang Mo was thinking about which idiot would be the first to stand up and be his test stone. The military front of the Tang Empire will let everyone know... what it means to destroy everything.
