What the hell is a private enterprise?

Chapter 212 is confirmed; it's a time-travel story.

Benjamin walked out of 10 Downing Street and stared blankly at the crowds walking back and forth on the street.

An Irish youth wearing a hoodie walked by, head down, headphones on, swaying rhythmically to rock music.

The high school girls standing side by side, their black over-the-knee socks swaying, suddenly broke into exaggerated smiles on their freckled faces, only to quickly suppress them upon seeing the handsome guy.

A new generation of business elites, dressed in casual clothes, are shaking hands with officials, hoping to get support for some small thing like a website.

For the past five years, the shadow of conflict that had shrouded the world has dissipated, and people seem to be living under the sun again. Everything is so easy and comfortable, and the land beneath our feet has finally come alive.

But now, everything has changed.

As the editor-in-chief of The Times, Benjamin was skeptical of what the minister's assistant had just told him, but when he saw the burning wreckage on the sea, he had to fall silent.

Everything flashed through his mind in a second. Benjamin got into the waiting car and rushed back to the news agency as fast as he could.

……

Guided by radio and GPS, the two seaplanes flew almost without detours to the Spratly Islands.

The plane landed along the coast of Reed Beach. The pilot was very skilled, and after gliding to a stop on the water, it came to a stop right next to the Friendship ship.

After traveling for more than three hours, Yan Jian pushed open the glass cabin lid and took a deep breath of the salty, humid, and hot air.

The Zero Marine Reconnaissance was a terrible ride; it was enclosed and noisy, with the sounds of airflow and glass colliding, engine noise, and the buzzing of the fuselage's electromechanical systems making it unbearable for him.

Sitting on an airplane flying towards the equator is like chasing the sun.

After a long period of being unable to sleep in a semi-conscious state, Yan Jian was somewhat dazed and suddenly burst out laughing when he saw the Friendship Ship approaching.

Zero seaplanes and World War II destroyers seem to have traveled through time.

After being brought onto the boat, Wang Wu, dressed in a gold-plated uniform, looked at him sternly.

"Mr. Yan, we just received a message. Although it's not relevant to this place, I still need to tell you about it as part of my mission."

Yan Jian gestured for him to speak.

"Thirty minutes ago, according to The Times:"
The French Navy's HMS Colbert engaged in a gun battle with a destroyer from the Combined Fleet. The Japanese destroyer was sunk by a combined European fleet, and the Colbert was hit by a torpedo and sank in a secondary explosion.

"..."

Yan Jian glanced at the Zero reconnaissance ship being salvaged, the old-fashioned destroyer beneath his feet, the blood-red sunset, and Wang Wu in his uniform. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then opened them again:
"What month is it now, in 1941?"

Wang Wu: "..."

Yan Jian: "Don't worry, I can accept it. It's a time-travel novel. I even read Tang Wen's writing about it on the BBS. I never thought it would actually happen."

Fortunately, we still have a few destroyers. Did the Jinjiang follow us? Its missiles are very powerful.

"Calm down, it's still 1996," Wang Wu said calmly.

Yan Jian: "Then repeat it again?"

“I know it’s hard for you to believe, but it’s a confirmed fact.”

Where did the battle take place?

Wang Wu: "Gulf of Aden."

"So, the already disbanded Combined Fleet sent a destroyer to engage in a gun battle with the retired German ship Colbert in the Gulf of Aden, and then both sank."

Why don't you listen to what they're saying!

But just as Yan Jian finished his angry rebuke, the satellite phone rang.

He quickly moved to the edge to answer the phone, and returned to his original spot about five minutes later, looking at Wang Wu with a complicated expression:

"If we didn't travel through time, then this world must have gone mad."

Wang Wu nodded in agreement. When he heard the news, he had more question marks in his head than starfish in Lile Beach. "The world has probably gone mad, but I feel we can ask Boss Tang. He might have just given the world a dose of madness-inducing drugs."

"I think so too."

……

An island in the South Pacific.

[Story Mission Completed: Victory]

Battle Results:
Covering the retreat of Sperm Whale 1: Completed
Preserve at least one friendly warship alive: Incomplete

Number of enemy ships sunk: 0

[Gains: 100 million + 84 silver coins, 39580 experience points, 1250 gold coins, 5 super supply boxes]

[Acquired: Tier ☆ German Super Battleship: Hanover, Special Tier 10 Captain: Bismarck Lüttrans]

Tang Wen squatted on the deck, in front of him were the Sperm Whale 2 submarine, the Colbel, the Akizuki, and the super battleship Hanover, which was even larger than the Yamato.

This super warship simply couldn't fit into the enclosed berth. Fortunately, the Sperm Whale 2 had already delivered Wang Hu and the others ashore and had found an isolated island east of Samoa. There were no inhabited islands within thousands of kilometers around, and it was sparsely populated.

Neither international flights nor shipping routes pass through here.

This led to Tang Wen moving the port here and releasing the super warship that had been forced upon him.

The Hanover was the first warship that did not exist in reality and was entirely fictional, created by the magical Minsk shipyard.

It's a further enlarged version of the H-class battleship, and the data is incredibly exaggerated:

Hanover:

Length: 349.6 meters, Width: 45.54 meters, Overall Height: 44.96 meters, Deck Height: 7 meters

Main armament: 4 twin-mounted 483mm 50-caliber Krupp naval guns

Secondary armament: 16 twin-mounted 128mm dual-purpose naval guns

防空：16座双联装128毫米高平两用炮舰炮，8座双联装30毫米机炮，6座4联装30毫米机炮，8座单装55毫米机炮，4座双联装55毫米机炮
Displacement: 88650 tons (standard load), 97570 tons (full load)

Power: 250000 horsepower

Maximum speed: 30 knots

The Yamato, hailed as the largest battleship, was 263 meters long and 38.9 meters wide.

The Hanover is 32% larger and 17% wider, with a standard displacement of 8.8 tons and a full load displacement of 9.75 tons.

The corresponding early model of the Nimitz aircraft carrier, in fact, the largest warship ever built by mankind, was only 332 meters long and 40.8 meters wide, still smaller than the Hanover, and had a full load of 9.7 tons.

It wasn't until the fifth ship, CVN-72 USS Abraham Lincoln, that the Nimitz-class aircraft carriers reached a displacement of 104,000 tons, earning them the reputation of being 100,000-ton supercarriers.

Now, the Hanover is truly the second largest battleship in the world, almost on par with the first, and the most powerful battleship ever built.

Before him, all adjectives and praises seemed so powerless. It was only when Tang Wen saw it that he truly understood what a sea city felt like.

She fully deserves the title of steel behemoth; all current warships pale in comparison to her.

However, Tang Wen showed no joy whatsoever; in fact, he was filled with resentment.

A super battleship, a relic that can only be unlocked after reaching level ten, a power generation product designed by the Minsk Shipyard after drinking fake alcohol.

Super battleships and super cruisers are pure fiction, but he is envious of the super carriers of the Japanese, British, and American lines: Red Dragon, Eagle, and United States.

The first two ships have a displacement of over 6 tons, while the United States has a full displacement of 7.9 tons. They are all very good aircraft carriers with huge potential for modification. They can operate Su-33s without any problem and can be used until the mid-21st century.

As for Hanover...

To use it as a teaching aid?
