Anti-Japanese War: Young Marshal? No, please call me Great Power

Chapter 184

This end-of-life project is a new type of battleship that the Northeast Ship Design and Research Institute began to design last year at the request of the Navy Command.

After all, the funds of the Navy at that time were still very sufficient.

Moreover, there is a special set of funds.

It is the commission obtained from the sale of submarines, which belongs to the special fund of the Navy.

If this batch of funds is used for scientific research or procurement, it is not necessary to obtain the approval of the high command.

According to Chen Shaokuan's request.

This new battleship surpasses the Wuyue-class battleships in terms of overall performance.

So it took months of design.

After several revisions.

A design drawing for a new battleship was freshly baked.

That's when it is.

In the naval conference of the high command.

The strategic plan for the future Navy to focus on the development of aircraft carriers and stop the construction of battleships was determined.

So this freshly baked battleship design was put on hold and eaten to ashes.

Turning heads began to work on the design of a heavy aircraft carrier larger than the Midway class.

At the request of Zhang Xueming.

The new carrier must be able to take off and land 20-ton heavy jets.

After browsing at Dalian Shipyard.

Chen Shaokuan took Erich Raedel to the Northeast Ship Design and Research Institute.

In the car, he also focused on pitching the project to Erich Raeder.

Although only one blueprint was produced for this project.

But it also cost the Navy about 10 million.

After all, if you design this thing.

A lot of supporting things need to be designed in sync.

Such as power systems, weapon systems, materials, and so on.

So it's very hard to sell.

And Erich Raeder's eyes were exceptionally bright after hearing about the project.

Showed a keen interest in this project.

"Isn't this the super battleship that the president needs?"

When he heard the PPT data in Chen Shaokuan's mouth.

Erich Raeder exclaimed secretly.

Want to surpass the Wuyue-class battleships.

Then the tonnage naturally cannot be small.

The standard displacement went straight to 70,000 tons.

The expected full load displacement is between 7.5-78,000 tons.

Although not as good as the 100,000-ton super battleship project of the Northeast Army.

But a full load displacement of more than 70,000 tons is powerful enough.

It must be known that the displacement of the new battleship announced by Britain is more than 50,000 tons.

It's not that they don't want to build up, but the cost is too high.

Let them simply not be able to afford it.

Moreover, the difficulty and time of construction are increasing exponentially.

When they return to reason, they still choose the level of 50,000 tons.

So these more than 70,000 tons are enough to form an advantage in tonnage.

The change brought about by the tonnage advantage is a significant increase in protection capabilities and a significant increase in firepower.

This is also the most critical performance of a battleship,

I want to drive such a 170 super battleships of nearly 80,000 tons.

Then naturally a strong power system is needed.

In order to be able to make this battleship run at high speed.

Directly stuffed the Iowa class power system.

Up to 212,000 horsepower.

It is capable of reaching a design speed of 30 knots.

You must know that the power of the Yamato-class battleships is only 153,000 horsepower.

It also has a top speed of 27 knots.

The battleship also had one more point that was very much in line with his temper.

That is armor protection.

In terms of armor protection, the design concept of the armor belt of the Yamato-class battleships was borrowed.

The design of the naval gun was a little more radical.

A large-caliber main gun of 457 mm was adopted.

There is no need to talk about air defense.

This aspect is taken very seriously.

A full 20 40-mm 4-mount anti-aircraft guns and 45 20-mm anti-aircraft guns.

It's just a hedgehog.

This trip to the Northeast Ship Design and Research Institute made Erich Raedel very satisfied.

When he saw the design sketch.

I was attracted by the battleship PPT above.

Compared to shriveled data, until I saw this design drawing.

The huge figure of this battleship jumped out of his mind.

At this moment, he had already made up his mind in his heart.

"That's it!"

"If we need to build it, how much will it cost?"

Here's coming, the main drama is coming.

After waiting so many days, it was not long before this time.

The price has long been ready for them.

So Chen Shaokuan also blurted out.

"The construction cost is about 500 million RMB."

After the design drawings come out.

The leadership of the Navy and the Academy held a seminar.

According to estimates, its construction cost is about 70 million yuan.

If you change to the current RMB, it is about 180 million.

Chen Shaokuan's price is 500 million, and he directly earns 320 million.

He had thought Erich Raeder would bargain or something.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this price, his eyes lit up.

"Okay, I'll report these to the country."

A battleship of more than 70,000 tons required only 200 million marks.

Is the price expensive?

No!

This price is not expensive, but very conscientious.

If only the design was built in their own country.

Definitely more than the price.

After watching the battleships.

Chen Shaokuan took him to Huludao again.

This is not only the submarine base of the Chinese Navy (CJCB) in the north.

Or a mothballed base for decommissioned submarines.

Chen Shaokuan naturally couldn't take it to see the most advanced Jiaolong-class submarine.

Look at the Type 21 submarines that stop at the port.

There are 8 boats parked at one pier.

The 10 piers are directly full.

The number reached 80 ships.

These are all decommissioned.

Currently, the Navy retains only 100 Type 21 submarines in service.

All that exceeded this amount was decommissioned.

Because the current demand of the Huaxia Navy for the number of submarines is not high.

Maintaining the size of 100 ships is quite enough.

With the size of the current fleet.

It is simply a waste to continue to raise one or two hundred submarines.

And now is not wartime either.

If not considering that World War II is imminent.

Zhang Xueming will even cut it in half again.

So now Erich Raedel saw the scene in front of him that shocked him.

"These are your most advanced Type 021 submarines?"

The Germans had a different affection for submarines.

Great importance is also attached to the development of such underwater weapons.

During World War I, they tasted the sweetness.

So Dönitz after returning home.

After telling the command of the Navy about the situation on this side.

They are very interested in this new type of submarine in Huaxia.

Although they have now purchased 20 Type VIIIC submarines.

They are still training in the Yellow Sea and the Pacific Ocean.

Chen Shaokuan nodded and said, "That's right, these are."

Although we have retired from service, it is very new.

Some were even decommissioned after less than half a year of service.

If you need it, we can give you a 20% discount. "

"I want to go and see inside."

"Of course it's fine!"

This walk lasts for hours.

But Chen Shaokuan was tired enough.

However, Erich Raedel is still not red, breathless, and energetic.

Overall, it is indeed the same as Chen Shaokuan said.

The color is relatively new.

It can be seen that the service period is very short, at most more than two years.

Two years.

This is the golden age for a ship.

Even the running-in period is saved.

This is not the most critical.

The most important thing is the various new technologies it uses.

It simply stunned him, the commander of the German Navy.

Now he finally knew why the battleship Nagato of the Yin Kingdom was planted under this submarine.

And he also knew how the battleship Nagato was sunk back then.

One boat!

Rely on only one submarine.

Lurked hundreds of meters from the battleship Nagato. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）

And then a volley of torpedoes.

Directly took away the battleship with the largest tonnage at that time.

Semi-automatic filling system, filling six torpedoes in 10 minutes.

That's a bit of a bit of a stretch.

If you change to an ordinary submarine, it will take more than 10 minutes to reload.

By the time you have one round in the sky, this submarine will already be loaded with six rounds.

This is a naval battle where every second counts.

This loading speed is simply against the sky.

Then there's the sonar data conversion device.

It is possible for the submarine to aim for torpedoes without raising the periscope.

There are better snorkels.

It is worthy of being the most advanced submarine in the world at present.

It's not much stronger than the Type VIIIC submarines they are now equipped with.

"It's a well-deserved underwater ghost."

The performance is so excellent, how can this not be liked by him.

It is that the number of these 80 ships has too many advantages.

If the price is too expensive, they can't afford to buy so much.

"Can I know how much it sells?"

Chen Shaokuan had a warm smile on his face.

"Since these are submarines belonging to second-hand.

So it's a lot cheaper in price. "

The original Type VIIIC submarines were sold for 5 million coins, that is, 5 million marks.

Isn't it too much to double this Type 21 submarine?

The upfront price is 15 million marks a ship.

The original price was 20 million marks.

Sell your 15 million because you will bring bulk purchases.

That's why such a favorable price is given.

15 million is indeed a bit expensive.

But compared to the powerful performance of this submarine.

Totally worth the price.

Erich Raedel could only comfort himself in this way.

On that day, like a mustache, he reported in detail what he had seen and heard.

The mustache didn't expect it to go so smoothly.

Super battleships of more than 70,000 tons.

There are also a large number of advanced submarines.

Now what troubles him the most is the problem of money.

"Four, we need four super battleships."

200 million marks, 800 million empires here.

Gritting your teeth can still get it.

Want to be bloodbathed in the shame of World War I.

It is necessary to have a strong surface fleet.

More than 70,000 tons of super battleships, this is something that money can't buy.

But the mustache also has a requirement.

The first two were built in China.

The latter two needed to be built in German shipyards.

The calculation of the mustache can be heard by Zhang Xueming, who is far away in Huaxia.

Isn't it just an opportunity to cultivate the construction capabilities of German super-large warships?

No problem.

None of this is a problem.

Anyway, this will not fundamentally change the situation of the war.

The gap in German and Allied power at sea could not be solved by relying on a few super-large battleships.

But there is no doubt about the good intentions.

The German navy in this time and space would cause the Allies even more headaches.

Let them keep more blood.

It can even directly beat Britain to a half-crippled.

I'm afraid that Eagle Sauce will not get much benefit.

And doing so would further increase the naval shipbuilding competition among the great powers.

Let them build a little more battleships.

The aircraft carrier of the Huaxia Navy can be like dumplings.

In addition to the design and construction of heavy aircraft carriers.

The Northeast Ship Design and Research Institute has also designed and developed a light aircraft carrier.

The total tonnage is around 10,000 tons.

Its positioning is similar to the escort carrier of Eagle Sauce.

This idea is still worth learning.

In order to facilitate the need in wartime, it was directly built in large quantities.

In addition to the order for these four super-large battleships.

For extremely advanced Type 21 submarines.

Mustache is naturally also very keen on purchasing.

A single ship of 15 million marks, 20 ships were ordered directly.

A total value of DM 300 million.

And this is only the first batch.

He wanted to wrap up all these submarines that the Huaxia Navy had decommissioned.

It's just that the budget is limited now.

After all, the main focus is on economic development.

And not wartime when everything is to serve the war.

Erich Raeder contributed DM 1.1 billion in foreign exchange to the Navy.

It is worth 2.75 billion RMB.

The Navy was able to take half of it from here as special funding.

More than 1 billion can build several 100,000-ton super battleships.

Aircraft carriers are capable of building ten.

Therefore, Chen Shaokuan is more and more comfortable with this Erich Raeder.

He also paid for it out of his own pocket and invited him to rub it at the best restaurant in Peiping.

Even Zhang Xueming received the naval commander from Germany.

He also talked about the future cooperation prospects of the two navies.

October 1, 1934.

For Huaxia, it is a day of universal celebration.

In the midst of the celebration.

Something seems to be celebrated.

It is also an important day in history to remember.

(Without detailing, it has already been warned)

In October, both the north and the south usher in the autumn harvest season.

As of 193412.

Huaxia has a total of about 1 billion mu of arable land.

Basically, it is increasing at a rate of more than 100 million mu per year.

This year's autumn harvest also ushered in epic growth.

Grain production exceeded the 200 million ton mark, reaching 220 million tons.

This grain output can already meet the food needs of the Chinese people.

And this is because many areas in the south have not completed the land reform and sown super rice seeds during the planting season.

If all land reform is completed.

And they all use super rice seeds.

Then a further increase in grain production to 250 million tons is not a big problem.

Before 40 years, reaching 300 million tons of production was not a problem at all.

Don't say anything else.

At least this grain production will allow the people to be well fed in the event of war.

It can also keep up with the attrition of war.

There is no need to do any rationing.

January 1, 1935.

Time has entered a new year, and history has ushered in a new chapter.

Last year, China completed the unification of the whole country.

This included the recovery of the three provinces of Xikang, Frontier and Western Xinjiang.

The national GDP income has also developed by leaps and bounds.

Last year's GPD was $16 billion.

This year, it has increased by a full ten billion to $26 billion in GDP.

If converted into RMB, it is 130 billion.

Part of this increase is due to the unification of the nation.

But this increase can still be described as terrifying.

This also proves how fast the development of China's industrial and commercial economy is.

It can be described as dreamy.

The main growth point is twofold.

One is industrial products and the other is energy.

Among them, energy exports account for a large share.

It also allowed Zhang Xueming to experience the comfort of a major energy exporter.

Steel production also reached 70 million tons.

It has become the world's largest steel producer.

It is precisely such a terrifying steel production.

In order to allow him to engage in large-scale construction at the same time, he can also mass-produce various warships at the same time.

Unlike the Kingdom of Wa, it is also necessary to pick and search.

Time has entered 35 years.

The mustache gave the countries of the world a big surprise.

Tearing up the Treaty of Versailles in public.

It caused shocks in countries around the world.
