The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

Zhu Bin’s cooperation with the Germans is so deep that there is no way to keep many things secret. For example, the series of large-scale mechanical devices and offshore platforms he gave were not given to them, except for things that must be strictly kept secret, such as oil trees. The Germans now have a lot of technology

Not to mention anything else, there are no less than a hundred metallurgical formulas that have to be provided separately for the manufacture of various equipment. The metals with various properties produced by these formulas can be applied to all military projects. There is no doubt that the relevant technical reserves of

In this case, it is meaningless to emphasize the confidentiality of some technical details alone

Wang Wenda winked and said with a smile: "Don't tell me, in the past few days, we have captured a lot of British, French and Japanese spies. In order to find out the details of our weapons, they have worked hard. If it weren’t for our own guards at the port where the entire fleet is located, I don’t know how much information they would have obtained.”

"It's normal." Zhu Bin waved his hand indifferently, "Britain and France are very cautious about Germany's military equipment, and the strength we have shown has far exceeded their expectations. Now that the two are joining forces, they will definitely make a serious mess." It’s okay to talk about warships that disrupt the military balance, but the situation of the two airships hasn’t been leaked?”

What he was talking about was the two Airmasters that were originally ordered, and they were completed after more than two years of work.

Wang Wenda clicked his tongue, and muttered in doubt: "It's hard to say that the guy is too big to hide after flying into the sky. In addition, the Germans themselves built two similar ones, which must attract attention, but the design details should not be leaked. Otherwise, the British would have been impatient.”

"That's true." Zhu Bin couldn't help laughing when he thought about it. That kind of airship is really amazing. It can usually station 12 fighter jets for a long time, and the extra huge load can completely store 12 more. Once it flies from an altitude of 6000 meters On the battlefield, the fighters falling from the sky will make people overwhelmed. It is by no means the hydrogen balloons and hydrogen airships that ordinary people imagine.

Wang Wenda continued: "However, according to Zhang Yi and the others, Zeppelin seems to have made a lot of money. The military has placed a lot of orders, and it looks like they are going to make a lot of them."

After having an offshore oil production platform, the Germans used oil and gas separation technology to obtain enough helium from the oil and gas on the seabed, and replaced the dangerous hydrogen airships with fillings. The safety of Zeppelin's business was once booming, but it was a pity. Not long ago, at the extended World Expo in the United States last year, a large four-engine transport aircraft was launched, and it successfully flew around the world for the first time, crossing the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans is no longer a problem, and their airship business suddenly fell into a state of distress.

Fortunately, the German military took a fancy to the hidden combat ability of this big guy, and the order they placed just happened to be picked up.

Zhu Bin narrowed his eyes and said with a sneer: "They are willing to spend money recklessly, and they will wait for the strength of our two ships to be exposed. The British and French will naturally know what's going on. There is no suddenness, this thing is a giant target in the air"

The target of the airship is too big and it flies slowly. No matter how good the armor is, it can't withstand the repeated sweeping blows of the plane. It's not because of special needs that Zhu Bin doesn't know how to use this thing.

The two exchanged the situation, but Chen Shaokuan had already roughly turned the No. 202 amphibious assault ship around first, and asked Zhu Bin strangely after returning: "Why does it look different from the one we built? There are a lot of redundant structures, and it is a lot bloated.”

Zhu Bindao turned his head to look at the German escort not far away, lowered his voice and said: "Of course we have to keep a hand, otherwise everything will be seen by the Germans, who knows if they will sell us?"

Chen Shaokuan nodded in agreement: "Well, it makes sense, but after going back, it's best to improve it compared with Ship 201. It's always good to enhance some sexual performance."

The Germans support China on the surface, but in fact they have been trying to please China and Japan on both sides. Especially this year, after starting to prepare for the establishment of a cooperative relationship with Japan's "Anti-Bolshevik League", who knows what will happen in private?

And Japan has also stepped up its efforts to import equipment from Germany from last year to this year. It has made a lot of large machine tools, hydraulic presses, steelmaking equipment and electronic equipment, making Hitler so beautiful that China and Japan have markedly strengthened The potential of war, their equipment suppliers make a lot of money, if they guess without a bottom line, even in order to stimulate Japan, they may leak some scattered information about Chinese weapons and equipment and technology, forcing Japan to increase Import intensity

It's not that this kind of thing can't be done. Anyway, Zhu Bin knows that if there is such an opportunity, he will do it without hesitation.

Then go to the submarine

At the beginning, Zhu Bin placed an order for a total of ten submarines, but in terms of model selection, he did not ask the Germans to equip the three types of submarines i, ii, and vii, but chose the largest type ix for such a submarine. Lieutenant Colonel Karl Dönitz of the German Navy did not agree with the choice. He had discussed with Wu Jingying, an engineer of the task force stationed here more than once, and felt that the Chinese did not understand the secrets of submarine operations. It was very difficult to choose such a large submarine. unwise

Chief Engineer Wu Jingying doesn't see it that way. He has his own understanding of submarine warfare through studying and understanding the internal materials of the fleet. dead ugly

For example, Dönitz believes that submarines will only fight submarines on very special occasions, so there is no need to consider the performance of ships of the same type as the imaginary enemy, so there is no need to care about the size of other countries' submarines; It will damage the effectiveness of its special operations, and the maneuverability and time of diving will also be detrimental to operations. "Four medium-sized submarines are far easier to find the enemy and achieve more results than one large submarine" is the core of its "assembly tactics" concept

Therefore, I feel that the main combat mission of the submarine is to break diplomatic relations and gather multiple ships to hunt and kill the enemy.

This theory cannot be wrong, because the main task of the German Navy submarine force is to deal with British maritime transport freighters, or single destroyers, etc. By doing so, it can save resources and ensure its own survivability

The Chinese navy is different. The first enemy to deal with is the Japanese fleet. Of course, breaking the handover is also the top priority, but dealing with Japan's large submarine force with a huge tonnage is also one of the important tasks. The high-energy battery pack and the bottleneck of hydrogen peroxide oxygen production technology can allow the submarine to sneak for a long time at a depth below 200 meters and launch a surprise attack, unlike Germany's current knowledge, which requires careful detection by destroyers and anti-submarine aircraft at all times

Of course, these technologies will not be disclosed to the Germans casually. They were all refitted by Chinese engineers in the rented dock in the five months after the delivery of the fleet.

The German internal number ix submarine is named after the dynasty in China. The index of this "Ming" class submarine is much higher than that of the Germans' own VII, with a length of 76.5 meters and a width of 6.76 meters. It has a double pressure-resistant hull The body structure has a displacement of 1050 tons on the water surface and 1196 tons underwater. It adopts two 2200-horsepower diesel engines provided by man company and two electric powers with a total power of 1100 horsepower, which can provide a maximum water saving of 18.2 and a water saving of 7.7 With 170 tons of fuel, it can sail 10 nautical miles at 12500 knots, or sail at 4 knots for three days without being exposed

In terms of weapons, there are a total of six torpedo tubes in the front four and the rear two, launching a 533mm high torpedo designed by myself, and a 105mm naval gun and a twin 20mm machine gun on the deck

In addition, it is equipped with a rigorously leaked intelligent core unit and an x-band omnidirectional radar, which has sea and air search and detection functions in addition to sonar, so it will not be like the Germans. Need to rely on someone lying on the outside of the bridge uninterruptedly against the wind, rain and sea waves to investigate so hard, so easy to be found by aerial reconnaissance planes

Chen Shaokuan's understanding and need for submarines is more urgent than that of giant ships and cannons. He has been a naval commander for 20 years. He knows that China is too weak and it is unlikely to build a large fleet of one million tons. There is nothing more affordable than submarines, and I have asked for it many times, but the timing is not good, and the country has no money and no intention to build a navy

Now Zhu Bin has ten ships, and they are all big guys of the thousand-ton class. How can this make him not excited?

Get into a submarine numbered 301 and touch the east and the west. It's called a love, listen to the captain's introduction carefully, and after admiring the performance of the submarine, he grabbed Zhu Bin's shoulder and said excitedly: "Hanchen, you have made great contributions to the country. With these ten submarines, as long as they are used properly, they will be enough to make the Japanese invaders dare not run rampant in our country's waters. Its significance is immeasurable."

Zhu Bin felt the excitement from the strength of his hand, patted his hand shamelessly, and said carelessly: "It's just ten small ships, at most it's just a slap in the face, if it wasn't for Fill in the blanks, we really don’t expect this guy to do his best Wait for two years, I’ll show you what a real underwater killer is.”

"Well, I'll wait." Chen Shaokuan didn't even think about whether this guy was blowing his mind. In short, there are two 1.4-ton assault ships in front of him, a total of 18 2600-ton high-level destroyers, and 10 1000-ton submarines. Four large and small 14-ton hospital supply ships have a total displacement of 2 tons, which is more than twice that of the original four major fleets. One person contributed a full 20 tons of warships!

Although it is still only one-seventh or eighth of Japan's, this kind of power is what he has never dreamed of for half his life. After the super battleships and super aircraft carriers announced by Zhu Bin in the future, how can he not think about it? With all these, he has the confidence to lead a good fight with Ri himself (to be continued)
