s: 5000 votes for big chapter Chilean Navy Ministry.
Xu Wei, the chief designer of the Guangzhou Shipyard Design Institute, is the designer representative this time.
He is now standing in front of a large-scale model of the Type 203, talking non-stop to deceive a group of big guys in Chile.
"To sum up, the Type 203 new battleship is a perfect combination of firepower, defense and maneuverability.
It can fully meet or even exceed the requirements of your country.
Argentina's Saavedra class is definitely not his opponent."
"Our country is currently the only country in the world that has experience in using super-dreadnoughts.
The Fuxi-class super-dreadnoughts designed by our country have experienced the test of war, which fully proves our design level.
And the fleet designed and built by our country for the Ottomans not long ago After also experiencing the test of war, the Ottomans defeated the Russian army, which was several times their size, with a weak force.
The navy achieved victory in the Battle of Salyer.
In particular, the Suleiman the Magnificent super-dreadnought built by our country performed extremely well.
With one enemy against five, it achieved the amazing feat of sinking two Russian battleships and damaging two.
The result.
Now the Ottomans have applied to our country to purchase battleships, which fully proves our country’s warship manufacturing level.”
"The biggest contributor to the defense of Salyer is our country's Fuxi class, which is also your country's biggest imaginary enemy, Argentina's Saavedra class.
And the current Type 203 battleship is based on the Fuxi class and refers to actual combat.
According to our calculations, its combat effectiveness is at least 1.8 times that of the Fuxi class."
"Not only do we have excellent battleship design and manufacturing capabilities, but the rest of the ships are also very good.
Our Minjiang-class cruisers, Zhuhai-class destroyers, and Type 901 submarines have also been tested in actual combat and have achieved outstanding results.
Germany Using our Type 901 submarine, we achieved the result of one submarine sinking three 10,000-ton armored cruisers in one fell swoop.
Therefore, choosing our warships is definitely a wise choice for your country."
Classmate Xu Wei presented the facts and reasoned, making the big guys in Chile smile and nod their heads.
Of course, Engineer Xu Wei's words contained a lot of Spring and Autumn style, but they still respected the basic facts and were not nonsense.
Otherwise, the Chilean people are not fools.
If the things are not really good, it will be useless no matter how much they try to deceive them.
The "Battle of Salyer" that Xu Wei just mentioned took place on August 15, a naval battle between Russia and the Ottomans.
At that time, due to the disastrous defeat of the "Battle of Tangpu", the British and French were even more stressed on the Western Front.
In order to reduce the pressure, they asked Russia to take action quickly to arouse the hatred of the two Germans.
Russia did take action, but they did not take action on the Eastern Front as Britain and France hoped, but instead took action on the Black Sea and Türkiye.
Since Russia declared war on Türkiye on July 9, the two sides have fought in Armenia and the Ottomans in the Caucasus.
On the afternoon of July 9, the day war was declared, nineteen divisions were dispatched, first launching an attack on the West Melia region.
Of course the Ottomans were also prepared.
They placed twelve divisions here.
The two armies fought fiercely in the mountains of the Caucasus, and the result of the battle broke the glasses of a group of military experts.
The seemingly powerful Russian army was actually pushed back by the Ottomans.
The Ottoman Air Force played a great role in this battle.
As soon as the war began, the attacking Russian army was attacked by the air.
The Q-1 "Lark" attack aircraft roared down and accurately dropped bombs on the Russian army.
In the middle, the gray animals were blown away.
The Ottoman Army then launched a counterattack.
They used lightweight mortars, rocket launchers and other weapons suitable for mountain warfare to flexibly attack the Russian supply lines and camps.
In more than a month of fighting, the sluggish Russian army suffered defeats one after another.
Not only was it driven out of the Russian-Turkish border, but it also lost half of the eastern Armenia they originally controlled.
It was not until they retreated to Lake Sevan that they stabilized their position.
Russia's capital was very sufficient, and it destroyed n streets of the Ottomans.

This small defeat had little impact on them, but their main energy was on the Eastern Front.
The German-Austrian forces there were really difficult to deal with.
The Ottoman military was insufficient, and they were unable to fight here.
Most importantly, the local Armenians were very hostile to the Turks, and the Ottoman army did not receive support from the locals at all.
So the two sides reached a stalemate here.
Seeing that Russia could not open up a situation in the Caucasus, it was planning to do something on the Black Sea to see if there was any chance.
After getting help from Britain and France, they got what they wanted.
After a heavy sum of aid, they were ready to get someone.
The target they set was Saleyer, which is located on the west side of the Black Sea, close to Istanbul, and is the entrance to the Bosporus from the Black Sea.
Its strategic location is very important.
In fact, Russia has no intention of actually fighting because their Black Sea Fleet is not very powerful.
After the Russo-Japanese War, the Black Sea Fleet has been rebuilding.
On paper, the current Black Sea Fleet has seven battleships, three coastal defense armored ships, four cruisers, 22 destroyers, and a dozen small boats such as gunboats and torpedo boats.
Well, it seems pretty good.
But only 16 of these ships were new destroyers completed from 1913 to 1914.
The other boats are old boats.
Among the seven battleships as the main force, there are only two dreadnoughts, the other five are all pre-dreadnoughts, and two of them are old goods from the last century.
As for the three coastal defense armored ships, they are about 20 years old.
The master's ship is gone.
The opponent they faced was the Ottoman Navy with super-dreadnoughts, aircraft carriers and an entire new fleet.
The commander of the Black Sea Fleet, Andrei Augustovich Jebegad, is not a middle-class man.
He also knows that the Ottoman Navy is not easy to mess with, at least now he cannot take advantage of it.
But the pressure from Nicholas II forced him to think about it.
According to Jebegaard's plan, they only need to run to Salyer and shell them for a while, brush their presence and then withdraw.
In this way, there is no need to fight head-on with the Ottoman navy, but it can be shown that "we are attacking, but the Turkish barbarians dare not fight, so what can we do", and His Majesty the Tsar can communicate.
The Tsar could also send a message to the Allied Powers to show that our aid was not in vain.
How good is this At this time, the Ottoman Navy's new Second Fleet was all operating in the waters around Bati, Georgia, where they were monitoring the Russian army.
There are only a few old ships guarding the entrance to the Bosporus and protecting Istanbul.
According to the commander's opinion, the main force of the Ottoman navy is in the southeast of the Black Sea, and the home port of the Black Sea Fleet, Sevastopol, is in the north.
The route is just avoided.
Anyway, the northern coast of the Black Sea is not Türkiye's territory, and it is very safe.
When they arrived at the end of the field, the broken ships in Istanbul would never dare to come forward due to the poor nature of the Ottoman navy.
And their cutting-edge fleet didn't have time to come back.
Batumi and Saleyer were more than 500 nautical miles apart.
Anyway, they would be gone after a few shots.
Even if the Ottoman's cutting-edge fleet wanted to catch up, it would be too late.
But the reality is far from that wonderful, and things did not develop according to Commander Jebelgard's script.
In order to make the play more realistic, Commander Jebegaard brought almost all the family members of the Black Sea Fleet with him and headed to Saleyer with murderous intent to increase his presence.
But less than an hour after they left their home port of Sevastopol, they were discovered by the Turks.
The Ottoman Empire bought five Shui H-1 "Lionhead Goose" maritime patrol aircraft from China last year.
After the tension between Russia and Turkey, they transferred all four to the Black Sea, leaving only one in the Mediterranean.
At 7 a.m. on August 14, a "Lionhead Goose" performing a routine patrol mission discovered the sneaky Russian fleet in the waters near Sevastopol.
The captain reported the situation to his superiors.
Notify nearby surveillance Black Sea Fleet submarines.
As a result, after Türkiye learned the news of the Black Sea Fleet's attack, its response far exceeded Russia's imagination.

There was no way, they hadn't communicated beforehand, Mao Xiong just wanted to mean it and just go through the motions, but Türkiye didn't know.
Seeing the heroes of the Black Sea Fleet fighting here, how could the Turks remain calm?
Nima, look at the posture of the hairy bear, it is obvious that he is going to attack our Istanbul rhythm.
Immediately, the new fleet that was still monitoring the Russian army near Batumi immediately turned around and returned at full speed.
Many of the warships in the Black Sea Fleet are old ships from the last century.
They are not fast to begin with.
In addition, Maozi's warship maintenance work has always been poor, which makes it even slower.
The maximum speed of the entire fleet is only more than 13 knots, and the cruising speed is It can only reach a little over 8 knots.
The Ottoman Second Fleet is all cutting-edge warships, which can reach 24 knots at full speed.
The two Ottoman Type 901 submarines did not do anything.
They aimed at the two most powerful dreadnoughts in the Russian fleet, the Queen Maria and the Catherine the Great, and launched 8 torpedoes in one go.
However, the Turkish submariners His craftsmanship was a bit rough, but the Russian sailors also responded in a timely manner.
The submarine failed to hit the intended target, but hit the two coastal defense armored ships next to it, the Twelve Apostles and the Sinop.
Both of these were classic ships completed more than 20 years ago.
Their power systems were slow to respond, and they faced There is no way to avoid the incoming high-speed torpedoes.
The Sinop took two torpedoes and sank on the spot.
The port side of the Twelve Apostles was hit by a torpedo, which blasted a two-meter hole near the waterline, causing a large amount of water to enter the ship and causing it to collapse directly on the sea surface.
The destroyers of the Russian fleet rushed over to conduct anti-submarine warfare.
The two Type 901 submarines did not dare to fight.
They fired the torpedoes and ran away.
The Russian destroyers searched for a long time but could not find them.
Although the Ottoman submarines behind never launched an attack again, the Russian fleet became more cautious and slower.
At 8 a.m. on August 15, Turkey's Second Fleet arrived in the Salyer Sea area earlier, and at this moment, the Russian Black Sea Fleet was still wandering on the sea 80 nautical miles away.
After the Turkish fleet merged with the two Brandenburg-class battleships left behind, they still had time to complete some supplies and maintenance, and the sailors were able to get some sleep.
At 4:30 in the afternoon, the belated Black Sea Fleet finally arrived in the waters of Saleyer.
At this time, it was the Russians' turn to be dumbfounded.
Their destroyers in front were surprised to find that the entire Turkish navy was here, and they were already waiting in front of them.
Although the Russians were not prepared for a tough battle in advance, but now that they have encountered it, let's fight.
Anyway, it seems that the Russian fleet has the advantage.
The Black Sea Fleet has seven battleships, while the Turkish fleet has only three battleships.
But that's not how it works out.
Most of Türkiye's warships are cutting-edge, and there are also land-based aircraft to help.
No matter how you look at it, it's all bad luck for the bear.
But at that time, the Russian Navy did not think that aircraft could pose any threat to battleships.
They did not think so.
The Ottomans tasted the benefits of aircraft during the Balkan War.
Their emphasis on aircraft can be said to be second only to China in the world, and their confidence in aircraft may be higher than that of the Chinese army.
This battle was no exception.
The first ones to launch the attack were the 1st Fighter Wing and the 1st Bomber Wing of the Ottoman Air Force taking off from Istanbul Airport.
At 4:35, a fleet of 92 J-2 "Raven" fighter jets and 90 H-1 "Tern" light bombers arrived over the Black Sea Fleet.
Bullying the Russian fleet without aircraft cover, the Turkish Air Force not only allowed the "Tern" to be loaded with two 250kg bombs according to the limit, but even the "Raven" was also mounted with two 50kg bombs.
At this time, the Russian fleet panicked.
They had not conducted air defense training, and the entire fleet suddenly fell into a state of chaos fighting on their own.
The anti-aircraft guns and machine guns on each ship fired desperately at the aircraft while quickly maneuvering to avoid it.
But this kind of unorganized firepower posed no threat to the Ottoman fleet, and they aimed and dropped bombs unhurriedly.

However, the Ottoman Air Force also lacked experience in attacking surface ships, and the "Tern" light bomber was not a dive bomber and could only drop bombs horizontally.
Therefore, the hit rate was very disappointing, even worse than the "Raven" fighter that came over to work part-time. 180 250 kilogram bombs were dropped, only 4 were direct hits, and the other 5 were near misses.
Although the "Raven" fighter jets can dive, they are not bombers, and the pilots have received the most basic bombing training, so the hit rate is only slightly better. 27 of the 184 50kg bombs they dropped were direct hits, but the 50kg bombs The bomb is too small for a warship, so it can only be regarded as insignificant, and even a destroyer doesn't care much about it.
Therefore, this wave of attacks caused very little damage to the Russian fleet.
Only an old cruiser was unfortunately sunk and a destroyer was seriously damaged.
The coastal defense armored ship "Georgi the Victory" and a destroyer were damaged.
The two main turrets at the front and rear of the "Georgi the Victory" were blown up, losing most of its combat effectiveness.
Several other battleships were slightly damaged.
Although the hit rate of the bombs was very poor, the "Raven" fighter jets used their 20mm cannon to sweep the decks of all Russian ships, destroying a large number of anti-aircraft weapons, killing many sailors, and setting the stage for what would follow.
Carrier-based aircraft create better conditions.
At 5:11, the Air Force fleet left the scene, but before they disappeared, 120 carrier-based aircraft that took off from the aircraft carrier "Fatih" arrived at the scene front to back.
Carrier-based aircraft are specifically designed to attack warships.
Among them are dive bombers, a total of 40 powerful 1h "Sea Lark" attack aircraft, and an even greater threat of 40 H-3 "Warshipbird" torpedo bombers.
At this time, three Ottoman battleships also rushed up with a group of light ships.
Two Brandenburg-class battleships set their sights on the Trisvetphalia, the Three Saints.
The super-dreadnought ship "Suleiman the Magnificent" targeted the most powerful Queen Maria of the Black Sea Fleet.
The most egregious thing is that six Ottoman Type 901 submarines also came to join in the fun.
They fired all the torpedoes at a distance of about 7 kilometers southwest of the Black Sea Fleet.
The Black Sea Fleet was suddenly caught in a pincer attack and was attacked from the sky, surface and underwater at the same time, and then nothing happened.
After more than two hours of fierce fighting, at around 7:30 pm, the Russian fleet returned with a disastrous defeat.
Of the seven battleships of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, only the dreadnought Catherine the Great and the pre-dreadnought Potemkin fled back to their home port with scars all over their bodies.
The coastal defense armored ships and cruisers were all destroyed, and twenty-two destroyers were destroyed.
Only six escaped.
The Ottoman navy won a complete victory and released a bad breath that had been held in for hundreds of years.
They called this battle the "Victory of Salyer".
You know, when they had fights with Mao Xiong in the past, they were basically beaten by Mao Xiong.
Xu Wei did not make it up.
In this battle, the super-dreadnought ship "Suleiman the Magnificent" really performed well.
It fought five Russian battleships and sank the dreadnought ship Queen Maria and the Three Saints.
The Trisvetvaliya pre-dreadnought damaged the two pre-dreadnoughts Potemkin and Yevstafi, and also sank the coastal defense armor of the ever-victor Georgi which was damaged by an aircraft. ship.
In fact, when the Chinese Navy learned the details of this battle, they were not impressed by the so-called victory of the Ottoman Navy.
They generally believe that Turkey did not fight well in this battle.
They made many mistakes in tactics, and the quality of their officers and soldiers was obviously insufficient.
The victory was due to their equipment.
China's naval generals all feel that if it were replaced by the Chinese navy, Mao Xiong's Black Sea Fleet would not be able to get back even a single plank of wood.
However, this does not prevent China-made warships from winning praise in the world.
It was precisely because of this battle that the Chileans were completely convinced that their choice was right.
Of course, there is another very important reason, which is that China’s quotation is relatively low, and you don’t have to pay all in cash.
Yes, according to China's requirements, Chile can use the mineral exploration and development rights in Escondida and other areas to offset one-third of the costs, and then use minerals such as copper mines to offset one-third of the costs.
The fee only needs to be paid in cash.
It is impossible for the United States to agree to such conditions, and they have no shortage of copper mines
