The Undead Empire That Travels Through the Multiverse

What kind of determination Prince Albert made has nothing to do with Chen Mo. He just pushed it slightly, making the original event change a possibility.

As for how things will develop in the future, it has nothing to do with him, the Egyptian king, because the next thing is the matter of the British.

Perhaps Prince Albert will also ask him for help, but he is obviously not suitable to directly intervene in this matter.

So after that, Chen Mo didn't ask about this matter again, but lingered in London for two more days. After everything was over, he set off for Portsmouth, the largest naval port and shipbuilding base in the UK.

The two aircraft carriers are already fully manned, and after a grand commissioning ceremony, they will become members of the Egyptian Navy.

This commissioning ceremony involves a series of cooperation between the United Kingdom and Egypt, so both countries attach great importance to it. Not only will the royal family members and government officials be present, but the United Kingdom has also prepared a grand celebration.

Although the two aircraft carriers enjoyed a price discount because Chen Mo presented a pair of mermaids to the UK, the order for the two aircraft carriers was a big deal for the Portsmouth shipyard and even Britain during the Great Depression. A big business.

Therefore, it is very understandable that the United Kingdom attaches great importance to the matter of these two aircraft carriers.

In particular, these two aircraft carriers also involve the construction of an entire aircraft carrier battle group and the construction of supporting maintenance facilities. This is another big business that the British Empire cannot refuse.

The British government and the royal family may still maintain the dignity of a gentleman and maintain sufficient restraint in this matter, but for Portsmouth Dockyard, the construction of a fleet is a temptation they cannot refuse.

In order to be able to take this big order, they sent their best ship designers and salesmen to London to meet Chen Mo early, hoping to give him a good impression.

To this end, they also made two models of aircraft carriers with the same materials as warships very much in accordance with the tradition, and presented them to Chen Mo as gifts.

Of course, Chen Mo still intends to give this huge order to the UK, but he is not very satisfied with the design provided by the Portsmouth Shipyard.

Although the designer is the best designer of Portsmouth Shipyard, the British did not hide the order but took out the best technology in their hands, but in Chen Mo's opinion, Still somewhat conservative and backward.

Of course, this is not the problem of the British, but Chen Mo's vision is too advanced.

After seeing the rapid development of human maritime power after World War II and the elimination of old-time overlords such as battleships, Chen Mo likes the cannons and giant ships, but he also knows that they can't keep up with the times.

The future is the era of planes and missiles, and World War II will be the last swan song of the cannon ship.

That's why he wants to build an aircraft carrier battle group instead of buying a battleship.

And there is another very important reason, that is radar.

Radar technology was invented by the British. The British have a strong technical reserve in this regard. In the future British air battle, the British will rely on the radar to gain a huge advantage in air combat.

Anyone with an understanding of modern military technology knows how important radar is to naval warfare.

It was only in 1936 that the British built the first radar station, and now they obviously did not consider the issue of installing radar on warships.

The reconnaissance methods of warships in this era are no different from those in the era of sailing.

This is why the Japanese make their battleships look like such an illegal building. Their purpose is to increase the bridge as much as possible, so that the lookout can gain a higher visual advantage.

Radar calibration, a technology that has become commonplace in later generations, is still something no one has thought about in this era.

Yamato, the world's largest battleship built by the Japanese, although installed with radar, its main viewing equipment is still the huge fifteen-meter optical rangefinder, the world's largest artillery mirror.

However, for Chen Mo, there is no radar on the warship, and it is obviously impossible to rely solely on the mariner's meat detection.

Therefore, in the design of the warship, Chen Mo and the designers of Portsmouth Shipyard have great differences.

However, this problem is not very serious, it is nothing more than a matter of modifying the design drawings, which is not a problem for Portsmouth Shipyard.

Before leaving for Portsmouth, Chen Mo also had a secret meeting with the current British Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin.

The topic of discussion between the two sides is naturally the current situation in Europe.

For the possibility of Germany going to war, the British obviously expected it, and the French were also prepared, otherwise they would not have spent a lot of money to repair the Maginot Line.

Before the talks between Chen Mo and Prime Minister Baldwin, the UK and France actually discussed and negotiated this issue. Such an irrational thing as starting a war.

It's just that the French also suffered heavy losses in the war, and they didn't want to just let the Germans go.

The United Kingdom has always followed a continental equilibrium policy. No country in the European continent can become strong enough to threaten the hegemony of the United Kingdom~www.NovelMTL.com~ So they neither want France to be too strong, nor do they like the rise of the Germans again. , the best outcome for the British is that Germany and France lose both.

Therefore, unbinding Germany is permissible in the eyes of the British, especially in the red Soviet Union to the east of Germany, but the British have the idea of ​​letting the Germans resist the Soviet Union.

Chen Mo had no opinion on these calculations of the British. The only suggestion he made to Prime Minister Baldwin was that the United Kingdom put pressure on Belgium to let the French block the section of the Ardennes with bunkers and defense lines.

"Mr. Prime Minister, I hope you can understand that if the Germans attack Belgium, the defense line built by the French with a lot of money and resources will be a decoration and will be perfectly bypassed by the Germans." Chen Mo took out a piece of paper. The map was placed in front of Prime Minister Baldwin, and he pointed to Belgium on the map and said: "Although the terrain of the Ardennes is rugged and densely forested, this cannot completely stop the Germans. If they really attack from here, the French will fight. Will quickly collapse as the Maginot Line is bypassed.

So if Britain wants France to play a sufficient role in the war as it did in World War I, then it is best to help the French fill this last gap, otherwise I am worried that the French will not last for two months. "
