Reborn as a police officer in South Africa
1867 Custom Transport Ship
The French people’s cleverness is all used in these little tricks.
The relationship between Southern Africa and France is actually quite good. Even if France makes direct demands to Southern Africa, Southern Africa will most likely cooperate.
Of course the price still has to be paid.
This is good. Japan wants to cooperate with Southern Africa, but Southern Africa still refuses to pay attention.
The Germans also want to cooperate with southern Africa.
Look at Japan’s “Akagi”.
Look again at the "cities" and "islands" of southern Africa.
The difference is not a little bit.
It was Goering who came forward. This time Goering was very smart and took the initiative to go to William Tibbetts, the Southern African ambassador to Germany, hoping to order a "Table Mountain" class supply ship from Southern Africa.
The "Table Mountain" class supply ship can be easily transformed into an aircraft carrier. This is known to the whole world.
The Secretary-General of the Executive Council of the League of Nations is now from Southern Africa. 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 settled for the next best thing.
I hope to purchase the "Table Mountain" class supply ship, and purchase it in the name of a transport ship.
As for whether to modify it after buying it, and whether to imitate it in the future, that is all the business of the Germans and 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 definitely disagreed. It would be okay to sell the outdated aero engines to the Germans.
The "Table Mountain" class supply ship is still a bit sensitive.
Not to mention anything else, the two elevators on the "Table Mountain" class supply ship alone were enough for the Germans to study for several years.
A lift is not a simple crane. It is subdivided into a power source, a hydraulic transmission machine, a guide pulley, a traction cable, a lifting platform, and a control part.
Not to mention how complicated these technologies are, if I don't show you photos of aircraft carriers, you won't even know where the elevator should be installed.
You don’t even know whether an aircraft carrier should be equipped with elevators or how many elevators it should be equipped with.
The elevators of aircraft carriers in Southern Africa are all installed on the side.
Sold to the British "Elizabeth", the lift was installed inboard.
The British did not realize there was a problem with this design because inboard lifts are safer and can prevent waves.
Of course, there are also problems. For example, when the elevator is working, the plane cannot take off and land smoothly.
"Supply ships are originally transport ships." Göring pretended to be stupid. Aircraft carriers can be used as transport ships, and supply ships can certainly be used as well. There is nothing wrong with the logic.
William Tibbetts opened his mouth, but suddenly felt like he had nothing to say.
Some things really don’t need to be said clearly. If the Germans were smarter, they should put their limited funds into developing 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 has already flown across it before it even has time to climb.
Moreover, 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 a fleet by the powerful Royal Navy, hiding in the military port and not even daring to leave the door.
If there is another world war, it probably won't make any difference.
But maybe every country that is interested in deep blue has a dream of becoming a naval power deep in its heart.
So it’s the same with Germany. It doesn’t have a strong navy but it still breeds eggs. Isn’t that how Tanganyika and Southwest Africa were lost?
"We are ordering a total of four Table Mountain transport ships, two of which will be manufactured in Southern Africa. We hope that the last two can be manufactured in Germany, and if possible, we also hope to continue to purchase the technology we need from Southern Africa." Ge.
Lin has great ambitions. Not only does he want to obtain the "Table Mountain" class supply ship, but he is also very interested in carrier-based aircraft in southern Africa.
William Tibbets said nothing and watched Goering foaming at the mouth quietly.
Even one ship is impossible, why would you want four?
Southern Africa does not want this amount of money to leave a stain. Loans to Germany can also be said to help the German people rebuild a better life. Once it comes to the military field, there is nothing to say.
"That's it, now you can make an offer!" Goering was full of confidence. Do you still want the money delivered to your door?
"Sorry General, I just said that the Table Mountain supply ship is not for sale." William Tibbetts did not continue. Most of the money used by Germany to purchase the "Table Mountain" class supply ship was aid from Southern Africa. This can be regarded as
White wolf with empty gloves.
"Didn't you hear clearly? I'm talking about the transport ship." Goering was still playing word games.
"If you really need it, then you can consider a real transport ship." William Tibbetts was very vague, but in fact it was not beyond negotiation.
"What kind of transport ship?" Göring wondered.
William Tibbetts looked at Göring as though he were mentally retarded and didn't say a word.
"Can it be customized?" Goering finally got smart.
"It should be possible. You should contact the shipyard directly." William Tibbetts kept silent. Business matters should be left to the business to resolve.
The shipbuilding industry in Southern Africa is very developed. Germany also has offices of Southern African shipyards, as well as Walvis Bay Shipyard and Edwards Shipyard.
This time Göring no longer appeared in person, but Air Force Chief of Staff Albert Kesselring did.
Albert Kesselring was born in the artillery and participated in World War I. He served on both the Eastern and Western fronts. After the World War, Albert Kesselring continued to serve in the Army. Last year, he was transferred to the Imperial Aviation Ministry as Minister.
After the establishment of the Luftwaffe, Albert Kesselring was appointed chief of staff and became Goering's most important assistant.
Albert Kesselring was a very capable person. He had his own unique understanding of the air force. Unlike Goering, Albert Kesselring was not keen on aircraft carriers. Compared with expensive aircraft carriers, Albert Kesselring
Kesselring still preferred the development of land-based aviation.
It is a pity that Albert Kesselring's influence in the Luftwaffe was far less than that of Goering.
According to Goering's request, Albert Kesselring took the "transport ship" designed by Goering to the Walvis Bay Shipyard and Eduard Shipyard respectively.
The office staff of both shipyards were a little speechless.
This is a transport ship!
This is clearly a photo of the aircraft carrier "Basutoland" of the Atlantic Fleet.
Göring was also very strange. He didn't even modify the hull number, he just took it over.
"Sorry, we can't build this kind of transport ship," the heads of the two offices said in unison.
"Okay, then what kind of thing can you make?" Albert Kesselring didn't expect that he could do it just by relying on a photo.
"Of course it complies with the regulations," Samson, the person in charge of Walvis Bay, said seriously. He is of southern African German descent.
"You can put forward your request and see if we can do it." Wang Wenyuan, the person in charge of Edward's side, is more practical and tends to solve problems based on reality.
Wang Wenyuan knew from his name that he was of Chinese descent. 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 Britain, and the Yellow Peril theory originated from 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 use your dog’s brain!
Even considering 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 large colonies around the world. The British colonies are better, and you can still enter southern Africa after rebranding its products.
The French colonies had very strict controls on the import of foreign goods, especially in southern Africa.
Don’t forget that the Kingdom of Congo is next to the French colony. After Southern Africa won the Second Boer War, it has successively annexed Portuguese East and West Africa, Madagascar, Tanganyika, Southwest Africa, and even East India with the support of Southern Africa.
Be independent.
Just ask the French if they are panicking.
"Understood" Albert Kesselring suddenly realized, and then he turned his attention to the model ship brought by Wang Wenyuan.
This is a real container ship.
Although civilian ships have various shortcomings such as slow speed, weak protection, and unreasonable design compared with military ships, container transport ships can really carry it.
And the key is that the deck of the container transport ship is also flat, and with a slight modification it becomes the flight deck.
"This hull is not good and needs to be redesigned," Albert Kesselin demanded.
"That's no problem. We can design the hull according to the customer's requirements." Wang Wenyuan said seriously.
"This power is too weak and needs to be improved." Albert Kesselring came one by one.
"No problem, we have many kinds of power systems to choose from, which can definitely meet the requirements of customers." Wang Wenyuan has already started to record it in a small notebook. This is how he serves customers wholeheartedly.
"Can this flight deck be bigger?" Albert Kesselring made a slip of the tongue.
Wang Wenyuan remained silent, as if he hadn't heard anything.
"Oh, oh, I hope the deck can be wider so that more containers can be loaded." Albert Kesselring reacted quickly and immediately changed his mind.
"Of course no problem" Wang Wenyuan said with a smile on his face.
Samson is really eye-opening. Are 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 started to take the initiative. If he didn't take the initiative, the business would be ruined.
Albert Kesselring was very satisfied. Such transport ships are probably not cheap, but if the German Air Force tightens its belt, it can still buy a few.
