Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 2024 Customized Transport Ship
The cleverness of the French is used in these little cleverness.

The relationship between Southern Africa and France is actually pretty good. Even if France makes a request directly to Southern Africa, Southern Africa will probably cooperate.

Of course there is still a price to pay.

That's not bad. Japan wants to cooperate with southern Africa, but southern Africa doesn't respond.

The Germans also wanted to cooperate with Southern Africa.

Look at the "Akagi" in Japan.

Look again at the “cities” and “islands” of Southern Africa.

The gap is not a little bit.

It was Goering who came forward. This time Goering was very smart and took the initiative to find William Tibbetts, the southern African ambassador to Germany, hoping to order the "Table Mountain" class supply ship from southern Africa.

The "Table Mountain" class supply ship can be easily transformed into an aircraft carrier, which is known all over the world.

The Secretary-General of the Executive Council of the League of Nations is now a southern African. The League of Nations is still imposing sanctions on Germany. Although the sanctions are ineffective, southern Africa will definitely not agree to sell the aircraft carrier to the Germans, so Goering is the next best thing. I hope to buy the "Table Mountain" class supply ship, and buy it in the name of a transport ship.

As for whether to modify it after buying it, and whether it will be imitated in the future, that is a matter for the Germans, and it has nothing to do with southern Africa.

"Sorry general, the 'Table Mountain' class supply ship is not for sale in southern Africa, and it is too wasteful to use the supply ship as a transport ship." William Tibbetts certainly disagreed, selling the outdated aero engines to the Germans It's okay, the "Table Mountain" class supply ship is still a bit sensitive.

Among other things, the two elevators on the "Table Mountain"-class supply ship alone are enough for the Germans to study for several years.

The elevator is not a simple crane. It is subdivided into a power source, a hydraulic transmission mechanism, a guide pulley, a traction cable, a lifting platform, and a control part.

Not to mention how complicated these technologies are, if you don't show you the photos of the aircraft carrier, you don't even know where the elevator should be installed.

You don't even know whether an aircraft carrier should have elevators or how many elevators should be installed.

The elevators of the aircraft carriers in Southern Africa are all installed in the side positions.

The "Elizabeth" sold to England had the lift installed inboard.

The British did not realize that there was a problem with this design, because the inboard elevator was safer and could also prevent waves from attacking.

Of course, there are also problems. For example, when the elevator is working, the plane cannot take off and land smoothly——

"The supply ship is originally a transport ship—" Goering pretended to be stupid. An aircraft carrier can be used as a transport ship, and the supply ship must also be able to be used. There is nothing wrong with the logic.

William Tibbetts opened his mouth, suddenly feeling at a loss for words.

Some words are really needless to say. If the Germans are smarter, they should spend their limited funds on the development of the army and air force. Even if they develop the navy, there is really no need for aircraft carriers.

After all, the English Channel is only 34 kilometers wide, and the plane flew over it before it could climb.

And Germany should learn enough lessons from the last world war. After all, in the last world war, the high seas fleet built by Germany with a lot of money was turned into an existing fleet by the powerful Royal Navy, hiding in the military port and not even daring to come out.

Another world war would probably make no difference.

However, maybe every country that is interested in deep blue has a dream of a strong navy deep in its heart.

So it is the same for Germany. People who colonize eggs without a strong navy, Tanganyika and Southwest Africa are lost like this.

"We want to order a total of four 'Table Mountain' transport ships, two of which will be manufactured in southern Africa. We hope that the latter two can be manufactured in Germany, and if possible, we also hope to continue to purchase the technology we need from southern Africa. "Goering is very ambitious. He not only wants to get the "Table Mountain" class supply ship, but also is very interested in the southern African carrier-based aircraft.

William Tibbetts did not speak, but watched Goring silently.

Even one is impossible, but four more?

Southern Africa does not want to be stained by this little money. Loans to Germany can also be said to help the German people rebuild a better life. Once it involves the military field, there is nothing to say.

"—The above, that's all, now you can make an offer!" Goering was full of confidence. Do you still want the money delivered to your door?

"I'm sorry, General, as I said just now, the 'Table Mountain' supply ship is not for sale." William Tibbetts didn't say anything. Most of the money Germany used to buy the "Table Mountain"-class supply ship was aided by southern Africa. This can be regarded as an empty glove white wolf.

"Didn't you hear me clearly? I said the transport ship." Goering was still playing with words.

"If you really need it, then you can consider a real transport ship." William Tibbetts was very cryptic, but it was not impossible to discuss.

"What kind of transport ship?" Goering was curious.

William Tibbetts looked at Goering with a retarded look, and said nothing.

"Can it be customized?" Goring finally got smart.

"It should be possible. You should contact the shipyard directly." William Tibbetts kept silent, and business matters should be resolved by the business.

The shipbuilding industry in southern Africa is very developed, and Germany also has offices in southern African shipyards, and there are also offices in Walvis Bay Shipyard and Edward Shipyard.

This time Goering no longer appeared in person, but Albert Kesselring, Chief of Staff of the Air Force.

Albert Kesselring was born in artillery, participated in the First World War, and served on both the east and west fronts. After the World War, Albert Kesselring continued to serve in the Army and was transferred to the Imperial Aviation Department last year. Minister, after the establishment of the Luftwaffe, Albert Kesselring was appointed chief of staff and became Goering's most important assistant.

Albert Kesselring is a very capable person. He has his own unique understanding of the Air Force. Unlike Goering, Albert Kesselring is not keen on aircraft carriers. Compared with expensive aircraft carriers, Albert Kesselring Beit Kesselring still prefers to develop land-based aviation.

It is a pity that Albert Kesselring's influence in the Luftwaffe was far less than that of Göring.

According to Goering's request, Albert Kesselring took the "transport ship" designed by Goering to find Walvis Bay Shipyard and Edward Shipyard respectively.

The office staff of the two shipyards were a little speechless.

This damn is a transport ship!

This is clearly a photo of the "Basutoland" aircraft carrier of the Atlantic Fleet.

Goering is also very strange. He didn't even change the hull number, so he just took it directly.

"Sorry, we can't build this kind of 'transport ship'—" the heads of the two offices said in unison.

"Okay, so what can you build?" Albert Kesselring didn't expect to be able to do so with just a photo.

"Of course it complies with the regulations—" Samson, the person in charge of Walvis Bay, looked serious. He is of German descent from southern Africa.

"You can put forward your request and see if we can do it." Wang Wenyuan, the person in charge on Edward's side, is more practical, and he tends to solve problems from reality.

Wang Wenyuan knew that he was of Chinese origin just by his name, and he actually didn't care much about whether Germany had military power.

What do you care about?
Don’t forget that Britain, France and Germany are all members of the Eight-Power Allied Forces. The Opium War was initiated by the United Kingdom. The Yellow Peril theory originated in Germany. Therefore, if possible, Wang Wenyuan would like to sell the aircraft carrier to the Germans. It is best to help the Germans improve some aviation technology , It's better to play the dog's brain!
Even from the national interests of southern Africa, the aircraft carrier should actually be sold to the Germans.

Don't forget that Britain and France still have a large number of colonies around the world. The British colonies are better, and southern African products can still enter after changing their appearance.

The French colonies have strict control over the import of foreign goods, especially in southern Africa——

Don’t forget that the Kingdom of Congo is next to the French colony. After winning the Second Boer War, Southern Africa has successively annexed Portuguese East and West Africa, Madagascar, Tanganyika, Southwest Africa, and even East India is supported by Southern Africa. next independent.

Just ask the French if they are panicking.

"Understood—" Albert Kesselring suddenly realized, and then cast his eyes on the model ship brought by Wang Wenyuan.

This is a real container carrier.

Compared with military ships, civilian ships have various weaknesses such as slow speed, weak protection, and unreasonable design, but container ships can really load.

And the key is that the deck of the container carrier is also flat, and a little modification is the flight deck.

"This hull is not good, it needs to be redesigned—" Albert Kesselring asked.

"That's no problem. We can design the hull according to the customer's requirements." Wang Wenyuan was serious.

"This motivation is too weak, and it needs to be improved." Albert Kesselring came one by one.

"No problem, we have a variety of power systems to choose from, which can definitely meet the requirements of customers." Wang Wenyuan has already started to record in a small notebook, which is to serve customers wholeheartedly.

"Can this flight deck be bigger?" Albert Kesselring made a slip of the tongue.

Wang Wenyuan kept silent, as if he hadn't heard it.

"Oh, oh, I hope the deck can be wider so that more containers can be loaded." Albert Kesselring reacted quickly and changed his words immediately.

"Of course no problem—" Wang Wenyuan smiled all over his face.

Samson was an eye-opener. Are all you Chinese so flexible?No wonder your business is so good.

"I have several deck plans here. General, you can take a look." Samson also began to take the initiative, and if he didn't take the initiative, the business would be lost.

Albert Kesselring was very satisfied. Such a transport ship is probably not cheap, but if the German Air Force tightens its belt, it can still buy a few ships.
