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

After two days in the northeast, the German officer corps was really unable to get enough of Dönitz's Seckert to bring him to Zhang Xueming.

Although the officer corps is from Germany.

But Dönitz, a small naval lieutenant, was not qualified to come directly to see Zhang Xueming.

When I saw the two of them coming to the door.

Zhang Xueming roughly guessed their intentions.

Sure enough, when Seckert spoke, he directly explained his intentions.

"Commander Zhang, this is a young man from our Navy, named Dönitz.

Since the last naval battle, your submarines sank the battleship Nagato, and the reputation has spread all over the world.

Even our naval lads are very eager to meet your submarines.

This young man is included, I wonder if this will make Commander Zhang embarrassed? "

Dönitz also stood up immediately at this time, and said with determination: "Commander Zhang, I request to observe your submarine."

And I can strictly abide by your confidentiality requirements.

As long as you can give me a look. "

Listening to the translator's words, he was looking at Dönitz's somewhat urgent eyes.

Zhang Xueming smiled and said, "Now our two sides are reaching preliminary military cooperation.

As military partners, we are all generous.

Then I'll call the command of the Navy now.

Let them arrange for the major to observe our most advanced submarines. "

The most advanced submarine Zhang Xueming is talking about here is certainly not a Type 21 submarine.

This submarine is too advanced.

The development of conventional submarines after the war can be found in this submarine.

It just so happened that the system gave away 20 Type VII submarines, as well as a shipyard specializing in the manufacture of submarines.

Now this submarine force is parked on the Jinzhou military port.

This is completely tailor-made for the officer corps.

Zhang Xueming naturally arranged a Type VII submarine.

Submarines simply cannot change the balance of power in the oceans, nor can they change the tide of war.

But it was able to make the Allies suffer heavier losses and leave more blood.

If it could supply submarines to Germany in large quantities.

At the same time, you can make a lot of money.

Zhang Xueming is very willing.

So he is also very enthusiastic about promoting this advanced submarine.

Equally enthusiastic was Navy Commander Chen Shaokuan.

After understanding what Zhang Xueming meant.

As commander of the Navy 973, he personally accompanied Dönitz to the Jinzhou submarine base.

"This is where our submarine force base is."

On the port pier, there are VIIB/C submarines moored.

A total of 20 boats were moored at 10 piers.

The system check-in gifts are all here.

"These submarines are our newest submarines.

But we don't have enough submariners, and we don't have enough people to get them moving.

So it has been here all the time, and I am going to apply to the committee for the export of these submarines.

Otherwise, these submarines stay here for a year, and we will need a lot of maintenance costs. "

It seems that the speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention.

Hearing this, Dönitz's heart moved.

These submarines are actually capable of foreign trade.

Wouldn't it be that they also have the opportunity to buy such submarines.

But I just don't know how these submarines perform?

Dönitz was obviously a little young and didn't see the twists and turns inside.

He asked directly: "I wonder how these submarines perform?" "

The two had already arrived at a Type VIIB submarine at this moment.

Looking up at the submarine in front of you, you can tell with the naked eye that its tonnage is not small.

No wonder they were able to sink the battleship Nagato.

It's not easy.

Chen Shaokuan acted as an interpreter.

"Our Type 091 submarine is equipped with two 6-cylinder, 4-way supercharged engines with a propulsion power of 2,400 kilowatts.

Two 750 hp electric motors are also used for submarine.

Its maximum speed on the surface can reach 17.7 knots, the underwater speed is 7.6 knots, and the cruising range is 8,000 nautical miles.

Oh yes, and his water displacement is 769 tons, and his underwater displacement is 871 tons. "

After hearing these data, he was still very satisfied.

Compared to the U68 submarine he flew in World War I, it was more advanced in performance.

Especially in terms of speed, it is very good to reach 17.7 knots.

In fact, in the development of submarines, due to the discontinuity of more than ten years.

In terms of performance, the performance of advanced submarines during the previous World War was actually not very different from that of submarines in the early and middle stages of World War II. (cjec）

"What about the weapons?"

Chen Shaokuan said: "Five torpedo tubes, 4 in the bow and 1 in the stern.

There was also an 88 mm deck gun and a 20 mm cannon.

It is mainly used for air defense, and at the same time it is the same as combating surface merchant ships. "

After knowing in detail the performance of this submarine.

Chen Shaokuan said directly: "It just so happens that we have a member of the submarine team on vacation, so let's just go out to sea for a walk."

This makes it easier for you to understand the performance of this submarine. "

Dönitz naturally agreed to this.

Going to sea is the best way to test the performance of this submarine.

I didn't expect the northeast side to be so generous.

Not only let him visit, but also let him go to sea with the boat.

But until now, he could vaguely guess that this was selling him the submarine.

If he couldn't react, he would be really stupid.

He was indeed very moved by this submarine.

Due to the Treaty of Versailles, limit their development of any submarines.

But they can do the same thing as the Air Force.

Buy submarines here, train crews.

At the same time, it was also possible to develop submarine technology by studying these submarines.

Looking at the submarine rumbling out to sea, Chen Shaokuan had a smile on his face.

It can be seen from his performance that he is very excited about these submarines.

Maybe you can sell all these submarines.

Zhang Xueming spoke.

As long as these submarines can be sold, the Navy and the Commission will pay fifty-fifty points.

The five cents left behind are handled by the Navy itself.

Whether it's building ships or whatever.

That's why Chen Shaokuan is so enthusiastic.

You must know that these things are 5 million coins, that is, 5 million oceans.

These 20 ships were sold, but it was 100 million dollars.

I just don't know if the German side is willing to pay this money.

This is not a small amount for the current Weimar government.

Under the economic crisis, they have a very difficult life.

Unemployment was as high as 43 percent, and workers were quite dissatisfied with the current Weimar.

It was only after Mustache came to power that it returned to the level before the economic crisis in 36.

But that's not something he should worry about.

After a trip to sea, Dönitz also test-fired several torpedoes.

Now that he knows it, the other party wants to sell them this type of submarine.

Then Dönitz is naturally not polite in the slightest.

The crew is also quite cooperative. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）

The trip to sea took a total of three days.

When Dönitz returned, he found Settek.

"We need it, and our submarines are limited because of that treaty.

And now is the best chance to break through this treaty.

We can also send soldiers to train here and engineers to study here, just like the Air Force. "

Seckert looked at Dönitz, who was a little agitated.

He soothed: "Okay, I will report your thoughts to the country, as for whether the country agrees or not, it is not something I can decide." "

What submarines meant for Germany, they knew perfectly.

During World War I, they built more than three hundred submarines.

At the cost of the loss of 178 ships.

Sinking 5,708 Entente ships with a gross tonnage of 13 million tons.

There were more than a dozen battleships alone.

This record can be fully described as brilliant.

Therefore, for the development of the submarine force, the German military has always attached great importance to it.

Because they understand very well.

In the face of the blockade of the British Navy, they were only able to break out by submarines.

If another big war breaks out in the future, only submarines can give them a certain advantage in the oceans.

The Ministry of Defense and Mustache received a telegram from Seckert almost at the same time.

The Ministry of Defense is undoubtedly very excited about this batch of submarines.

But now they know very well what happened to the Weimar government.

It is very difficult to come up with this money to buy this batch of submarines.

Sure enough, when their procurement proposal was reported, they directly rejected it.

To purchase this batch of submarines, plus other expenses, it would cost almost 120 million Reichsmarks.

This is undoubtedly a lot of expenditure for the current government.

Now unemployment is high and the economy is in shambles.

They could only pay a maximum of 20 million Reichsmarks.

But at this time a man stood up.

That's the mustache.

Mustache contacted the Defense Department and asked them to send the bill to Congress on the grounds of applying for special funding.

He will find a way to get this special fund through.

The reason why Mustache is so zealous is also very simple.

The main reason is to build relationships with the military to prepare for elections early next year.

If there is military support, then that position is very secure.

And he also understands the role of submarines very well.

Now there is such a good opportunity to buy a batch of the most advanced submarines in the world.

Although these more than 100 million imperial marks are quite a lot, they can buy these advanced submarines.

Moreover, the northeast region in the far east can well avoid the realization of Britain and France.

So that they can train and research there.

It's a great deal.

When it came to Congress.

With the cooperation of the mustachioed Nazi Party and the military.

The proposal for special funding was successfully adopted.

Although the Weimar government remained reluctant.

But they took out the money anyway.

However, it is necessary to pay 40 million Reichsmarks every two months in three installments.

The military has nothing to do with this.

So in less than five days, Seckert found Zhang Xueming.

Directly stated their intentions.

Buy these 20 submarines, and hope that the northeast will provide a venue for them to train and research their own submarines.

And all expenses incurred during this period, they will pay.

Zhang Xueming was overjoyed.

I didn't expect Germany to be so generous.

At this time, more than 100 million Reichsmarks can be taken out to buy submarines.

You must know that this more than 100 million imperial marks is equivalent to more than 100 million oceans.

It is also equivalent to 100 million coins.

This amount of money alone is equivalent to the fiscal revenue of the entire northeast last year.

Although this money needs to be paid in three installments.

But with the credibility of the other party, there is no problem at all.

So the two parties soon signed a contract.

After reaching this transaction of more than 100 million yuan.

The navy was overjoyed.

With more than 50 million dollars, this can be used to build more than thirty Keeling-class destroyers.

If you use the current prices in Tohoku.

Building a Keeling-class destroyer of more than 5,000 tons only requires about 1.5 million dollars.

The cost is actually only about 1.2 million.

This cost is already very cheap.

If you change it to Eagle Sauce.

A Keeling-class ship costs at least ten million dollars or more.

The reason why the gap is so large has a lot to do with the price purchasing power and mode of both sides.

The military enterprises of Eagle Sauce are basically private enterprises.

Since it is a private company, it is natural to consider profits.

Look at their military-industrial complex eating pots and pots, you can see how profitable they are.

Add to this their high prices and labor costs.

It's strange if the cost is not high.

The situation is different in the northeast.

Not to mention low prices, labor costs are not high.

An ordinary shipbuilder earns only 30 yuan a month.

Even if he is a senior engineer, his monthly salary is about 100 yuan.

Moreover, the shipyard is a publicly owned enterprise and is under the jurisdiction of the Northeast Asset Commission.

It has a 100% controlling stake.

So their profits are actually very low.

In the Chinese military-industrial complex, it is not used to make money, but to consolidate national defense.

The philosophies of the two are completely different.

Plus it's only been 32 years now.

That's why a destroyer that cost more than $10 million in the 40s only needs $1.5 million in the northeast.

The Navy side is happy, and the German Navy side is naturally very happy.

A group of soldiers were quickly selected to go to the northeast as migrant workers to receive submarines and carry out training.

But good times are always short-lived.

The Middle East Railway finally had an accident, which completely disrupted Zhang Xueming's plan.
