Third Reich: I took over power
Chapter 222
"Your Excellency, the North Carolina class battleship cannot be sold to the Royal Navy. This is the next main battleship of our navy." said General William Leahy.
"However, I really can't think of any other battleships that the Royal Navy needs besides the North Carolina-class battleships." General Charles Forbes asked rhetorically
"Your Excellency, except for the North Carolina-class battleships, the Royal Navy can choose from all other battleships. For example, Colorado-class battleships, Tennessee-class battleships, or New Mexico-class battleships, etc.!"General Claude Swanson also said
"However, Your Excellency, the performance of this third-class battleship cannot satisfy the Royal Navy. We are all smart people, and we are very clear about the disadvantages of these levels of battleships in your country."Admiral Charles Forbes is not so easily fooled.
Although, the paper data of these three-class battleships are very good, with a displacement of more than 30,000 tons, and their firepower is even more powerful.
Among them, the Colorado-class battleship is equipped with four Twin-mounted 406mm main guns, Tennessee-class battleships and New Mexico-class battleships are also equipped with four triple-mounted 356mm main guns.
At the same time, the armor is also very thick.
However, it cannot be complimented in terms of speed. These The maximum speed of the battleships is only 21 knots, which is still at the level of the last world war. Compared with the current war, there is already a huge gap.
"Your Excellency, the North Carolina class battleship is under construction and is not in service. It is estimated that it will not be completed until June next year. Even if we agree to sell these warships to your country. But I'm afraid it's too late!"Admiral William Leahy said suddenly.
Admiral Charles Forbes's face suddenly became very ugly.
Indeed, for the Royal Navy, the most lacking thing is time. If there is enough time, they will not need to buy Eagle Sauce Country at all. These inferior battleships. The battleships they built themselves were enough to meet the challenges of the Third Reich Navy.
But the problem was precisely that the Third Reich would not give the Royal Navy so much preparation time. Therefore, the Royal Navy was eager to Purchase a batch of warships to tide over the difficulties
"Isn’t it possible to speed up the construction progress?" asked Gen. Charles Forbes
"General, because we are a neutral country. Our war needs are not that great. Therefore, the speed of shipbuilding has not increased. Even if we speed up the construction now, we can't compress too much time. Therefore, your country may not be able to count on North Carolina-class battleships. In my opinion, the Colorado-class battleship is undoubtedly the best choice. If combined with two Tennessee-class battleships, it will be enough to give your navy an advantage when facing the Third Reich Navy. Even if it doesn't have an overwhelming advantage, it can at least compete with the Third Reich Navy. This is undoubtedly very necessary for the Empire and the Royal Navy. As long as it gets enough time, the country will definitely be able to make a comeback."Admiral William Leahy said.
Admiral Charles Forbes thought for a moment, then nodded.
"Well, we agreed to buy four Raddo-class battleships and two Tennessee-class battleships. However, your country must give us a preferential price. Plus, allow me to pay for it with a loan!"Admiral Charles Forbes said.
This actually made Claude Swann and Admiral William Leahy look a little unhappy. The
Royal Navy of the Empire on which the sun never sets clearly wants nothing more than nothing!
Or rather , apart from providing those advanced technologies, they don’t want to spend any more money.
However, for the Navy of the Eagle Country, those technologies are also what they are determined to obtain.
"General, I think it is better for professionals to discuss the price and payment method. We are not good at any of these things."General Claude Swanson said. General Charles Forbes nodded.
Subsequently, Edward Wood, the foreign minister of the Empire on which the sun never sets, had long negotiations with Cordell Hull, the prime minister of the Eagle Kingdom.
And General Charles Forbes He also contacted the country and reported on the results of negotiations with the Eagle Country, such as the technology that needs to be sold to the Eagle Country and the battleships that the Eagle Country can sell. Sir Dudley Pound, the
Imperial Navy Minister, said the sun never sets. The four Colorado-class battleships and the two Tennessee-class battleships are already very satisfied. This will give the Royal Navy an advantage again when facing the Third Reich.
As long as it can persist until the battleships built by the Empire on which the sun never sets are put into service, then the Royal Navy The navy no longer has to be afraid of the Third Reich.
Although it requires a lot of advanced technology, there is no way around it.
Who makes the Eagle Country the only country in the world that can provide a large number of battleships to the Royal Navy?
More What's more, this will also help to further bring the relationship between the Sun Never Sets Empire and the Eagle Sauce Country. It will make it easier to tie the Eagle Sauce Country to the chariot of the Sun Never Sets Empire in the future.
Therefore, the Cabinet of the Sun Never Sets Empire also agreed to this The deal.
Edward Wood, the Admiralty Minister of the Empire, launched negotiations with the Eagle Country.
In the end, the two sides reached an agreement.
The Empire offered 100 million U.S. dollars, plus large-caliber naval gun manufacturing technology, aircraft engines and large-scale Ship engine technology, radar and electronic technology, purchase four Colorado-class battleships and two Tennessee-class battleships from Eagle Country.
As for US$100 million, Eagle Country will provide a loan to the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets. And the collateral is It is a colony of the Empire on the Caribbean Sea.
Although the Empire of the Sun Never Sets is financially tight, it seems that it is about to reach the end of its rope.
However, as a bandit country that has robbed almost the entire world, their bandit ancestors have undoubtedly left them with A large amount of inheritance.
These colonies alone are enough to make the Eagle Sauce Country salivate.
In the next three to four months, the Royal Navy of the Sun Never Sets Empire will secretly send a group of sailors to the Eagle Sauce Country to receive these six After they are familiar with and master these battleships, they will return to the country and join the Royal Navy.
Moreover, the Eagle Country must keep this secret to ensure that it will not be known to the Third Reich.
The Sun Never Sets Empire will obviously keep this secret. The six battleships are used as top-secret weapons, hoping to play a role as a killer weapon in the future._To read the underlined version of the novel, please download Feilu Novel A
