1825 My New Daming

Chapter 392 Good sons, don't worry, your Ying father has an aircraft carrier and a plane! (ask for subscription, ask for monthly pass)
In February 1832, the British, who had caused catastrophe on the European continent, once again withdrew their attention from the European continent, which was about to be plunged into a revolutionary storm, and then plunged into the battlefield of the World War.

The "January Revolution" in France will definitely set off revolutionary storms on the already very turbulent European continent. The Kingdom of the Netherlands may lose Belgium, which is almost a certainty. Where does the question linger.Now there is no such problem, so Belgian independence will be achieved soon.

The progressive forces of the German states may want to use a republican revolution to turn their disjointed confederation into a unified republic—and this will mean the disintegration of the Austrian Empire and the loss of the kingship of the German states!Of course, the Austrian emperor and the monarchs and conservatives of the German states will definitely try to suppress the revolution.Among them, the North German states headed by Prussia are better.They only need to suppress the republicans, and strengthening the alliance between the German states will do them no harm. But the Austrian Empire will be miserable!

Austria, which is dominated by Germans, definitely wants to live together with the German states, while other nations under the rule of the Austrian Empire want to achieve independence and live on their own. Anyway, except for the Habsburg family, no one wants the Austrian Empire.

Italy, south of Austria, has long been ready to move. Their Carbonarists have continued to launch uprisings after the end of the Napoleonic Wars, trying to establish a unified and independent Italian republic or kingdom.In the past 1831, a young Carbonarist named Giuseppe Mazzini founded the Young Italian Party in Marseilles, France. Compared with the previous Carbonari Party, the Young Italian Party is obviously more progressive and more If you are thoughtful, you will definitely be able to toss more!

Rakshasa Tsar Nicholas I will soon be in big trouble too!

Poland under the rule of the tsar has always had a high level of revolutionary enthusiasm, and the Poles also hated a strong monarch, so in the past they would rather choose a weak outsider to be the king than to form a centralized national power.As a result, the originally powerful Kingdom of Poland became weaker and weaker, and the neighboring Rakshasa, Prussia, and Austria divided up Poland after achieving different degrees of centralization.But the Polish people's pursuit of independence and freedom is not dead, and because the Polish revolution is looking for trouble with Rakshasa, Prussia, and Austria, it has always been supported by France. Napoleon also made great efforts for the Polish revolution. Bonaparte of Poland The elements are also very active, and they will definitely have to work overtime to make revolution.

In 1825, the aristocrats of Rakshasa wanted to learn the life of the Geza royal family in the French Revolution!Now see that France is republic again!Why don't they make a fuss about Rakshasa?

In short, the "January Revolution" in France was a fire that ignited the dry firewood of the European Continental Revolution!

The entire European continent will be in chaos for a while, but there is a high probability that Britain can once again be alone.The hidden dangers of Ireland and the concentration of land in England are of course troublesome, but the British Empire has plenty of resources to deal with it.The population of the United Kingdom is not large, with a total of more than 2000 million people, and the colonies outside are inexhaustible. There is also a rebellious country, the United States, which can help the poor in the UK to realize the American dream (the poor in other European countries can also go, but in the end It was convenient for no English-speaking people in the past), so Britain cannot be messed up now.

Now Europe is in chaos, and the United States is caught in a proxy war with Ming Dynasty and cannot extricate itself. Looking at the west, it seems that only the British Empire can maintain stability and comfort.

Therefore, England will remain the favorite place of Western capital for a long time to come, and the British pound, British bonds, and British stocks have also started to strengthen since the "January Revolution" in France.

In addition, the fact that the British Empire had been worried about France-Raksha teamed up to stab him in the back, now with the French Revolution, it is impossible to happen again.If Napoleon II wore a purple robe, he might be able to get along with Nicholas I again, but now that he has a republic, how could Nicholas I be close to him?Moreover, part of the fleet of the French Navy went to Algeria with the black-haired Louis, and many battleships under construction were not as powerful as before because they did not have the technical support of Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, the British Empire can rest assured.

And the Duke of Wellington and Viscount Palmerston, who returned from making trouble in the European continent, also got two good news-the British Empire already has carrier-based aircraft and aircraft carriers!

The Duke of Wellington and Viscount Palmerston, who received the good news from Somerset, the director of ordnance, went to the Plymouth naval port in southwest England excitedly, and the deepest part of the military port was tightly sealed. On the water, I saw an aircraft carrier that was easily overlooked and a biplane parked on the aircraft carrier.

The reason why this aircraft carrier is easy to overlook is because it is too small!Not a light aircraft carrier in the ordinary sense, but a baby aircraft carrier.

"Fitzroy, this, this is an aircraft carrier?" Standing on a destroyer, looking down at a very small ship on the water that can only hold one carrier-based aircraft, the Duke of Wellington was very uncertain. Ask the Ordnance Director Somerset beside you.

"Yes!" Somerset nodded, "This is an aircraft carrier. It has a straight-through flight deck and can fly carrier-based aircraft, so it is an aircraft carrier."

"How big is it?" asked the Duke of Wellington again.

"It has a standard displacement of 200 tons, a total length of 20 meters, and a width of 12 meters. It adopts a deep V-shaped hull design, which can keep the hull stable at a high speed of 28 knots."

"What? Can it drive to 28 knots? What is its power system?" Duke Wellington asked dumbfounded.

Somerset replied humorously: "Duke, its power system is four long and strong oars and four Popeyes. But relying on them alone, it is difficult to make the speed of the ship reach 28 knots. So When flying the carrier-based aircraft, in order to create as much deck wind as possible, we also need to use our latest high-speed destroyer to tow it away."

"What type of aircraft is that? Can it really take off on this...baby aircraft carrier?" Duke Wellington still finds it difficult to accept that an aircraft carrier can be so small.

"Duke, that plane is a Kelly F1," replied Somerset. "It's a single-engine biplane with a wooden Gammon fuselage and an 80-horsepower rotary cylinder. The maximum speed of the engine is close to 70 knots (about 130 km/h). As long as there is enough wind on the deck, it can take off on the 20-meter-long flight deck. You can see it from this baby carrier later. Take off."

The Duke of Wellington asked again: "What about takeoff and landing? How does it land? Can a 20-meter flight deck land an airplane?"

"Of course not," Somerset shook his head. "This type of aircraft carrier does not yet have the ability to recover carrier aircraft."

"Then what's the use of it?"

Somerset said: "Duke, it can be used to carry a seaplane. The earliest aircraft on the aircraft carrier of the Ming Dynasty Navy was also a seaplane. In fact, we are already speeding up the construction of large aircraft-carrying battleships and aircraft-carrying cruisers. But The construction of this large ship takes a long time, and it will take up to several months of sea trials before it can be put into use. So our engineers designed this baby-type emergency carrier. If this baby carrier can go smoothly Finalized, we are ready to build 50-100 aircraft carriers in order to quickly form a combat capability."

"How long will it take to build such an aircraft carrier?" interrupted Lord Palmerston, Lord of the Navy.

"Three to five days," Somerset said, "and one more day for sea trials. Even if it is wider, one week should be enough from the start of construction to delivery! And this type of aircraft carrier does not have to be built in the UK. , Shipyards in India, the United States, and even Australia can also produce in batches.”
