"Cyric, this is different from our original plan." The meeting was over, and I returned to the guest house, carefully checked all four weeks, and made sure that there were no eavesdropping devices, and then opened the record, amidst the melodious singing , Mixed with a whispered complaint from Colonel Gunther-Lütjens.
The eavesdropping equipment of this era is quite primitive. After all, in an era where there is only a telegraph, what advanced eavesdropping equipment will there be?
At first, it was fine, only 283mm naval guns were exported to the Soviet Union, but now, it has become 406mm!
The agreement has been reached in principle, and we are waiting for the detailed plan.
It can be said that Cyrenk’s trip to Moscow was very rewarding. The orders from the Soviet Union were enough to allow Krupp and other major German steel and munitions manufacturers to run at full capacity. They would be busy for three to five years. of.
There are more than a dozen warship plans, including a monster-class battleship with a displacement of 40,000 tons!
This makes Colonel Lütjens very dissatisfied, how can Germany export such advanced naval guns to the Soviet Union!
"Yes, these are all unplanned, but after all, we have gained a lot this time. For example, our country will increase at least 100,000 jobs."
"Cyric, you didn't understand what I said, 40,000 tons of battleship, 406 mm heavy artillery, don't you know what this means? In the future, this will be the biggest threat to our German Navy."
"So you are talking about this." Cyric said: "There is nothing to worry about. At that time, if the progress is delayed, we may take more than ten years to build it? At that time, the international situation will change. , So that we can't give this warship to the Soviets?"
There are too many such methods between playing* and the country. In later generations, Russia modified the aircraft carrier for India, saying that it would not charge any money, and finally it became a sky-high price!
Now, of course Cyric is also going to be a gangster! This battleship is considered to be built for the German Navy itself.
"Or, when we are building, we increase the side armor and weaken the top armor, so that only the bombs thrown by the aircraft can easily destroy it." Cyric continued.
This is a rare opportunity, of course Germany cannot let it go! A 40,000-ton battleship! The construction of this kind of warship will give the German shipbuilding industry a rapid advance. In the future, it will be familiar to build warships for Germany itself!
Anyway, the opportunity is too precious! Cyric doesn't want to let this opportunity slip away in vain!
In later generations, the reasons for Germany's failure are many, without a strong navy, it is definitely one!
Germany, the navy must be developed in the future!
The experience summed up in World War II is that without air supremacy, there would be no sea supremacy. Therefore, aircraft carriers began to emerge suddenly and finally became a symbol of maritime hegemony.
Of course, Germany must also develop aircraft carriers. This is the future demand! If Germany can have more than a dozen aircraft carriers, look at how the United States sends supplies to the United Kingdom! Should the Atlantic transport line be cut off, should we still worry about the British problem?
However, although aircraft carriers are very important, battleships are not obsolete in this era! In World War II, even if the battleship Bismarck was sunk, the remaining German battleships still contained most of the energy of the British navy.
If you want to avoid the fate of defeat in World War II, you must attach importance to the navy! Especially, from now on, we must pre-research new technologies!
In later generations, when the battleship Bismarck was in service, it also used a 380mm naval gun. It was because Germany had no technical reserves at that time, so it was difficult to develop a 406mm naval gun. Now, it has only been 30 years. In the name of being developed by the Soviets, this naval gun was made!
At the same time, this project will have other benefits. For example, the Soviets have no foreign exchange reserves and need to use a large amount of ore for settlement. All these things need to be passed by rail.
After the project enters the actual stage, you can lobby the Soviet Union. The railway standards are not uniform, which causes the trouble of transshipment in the transportation process. Therefore, the Soviet railway must be integrated with the West. This is convenient!
What is convenient? Of course, when we invaded the Soviet Union!
There are so many benefits here, so many so that Cyric is ecstatic!
Cyric didn’t worry about domestic disapproval. When he came, he was ordered by Hindenburg and confirmed by Prime Minister Hitler. He can say that he not only represents the Krupp family, but also represents the German military industry. On behalf of the German government.
To create more job opportunities in the country, how can the country disagree?
Now, it depends on the Soviet Union. After all, it is Stalin who really made the decision. It depends on this guy, but he would not agree. However, Cyrik thinks there is no problem. After all, the Soviet Union has no choice!
At this time, in the Kremlin, the heart of the Red Empire, Stalin is listening to Tukhachevsky's report.
As a close comrade-in-arms of the great revolutionary teacher Lenin, after Lenin's death, Stalin established his strong position through various means. Now Stalin is the chairman of the People’s Committee and the actual controller of the entire huge empire.
Cyric’s age is not old and his position is not high, but, just like later generations of ping-pong diplomacy, there are a large group of interest groups behind Cyric, and Cyric is here on their behalf.
"In other words, in order to get rid of their economic crisis, Germany needs to increase labor and employment. Therefore, German talents will agree to export advanced weapons and equipment to us, and even they will help us design and build 40,000-ton battleships?" Stalin Asked Tukhachevsky: "And what we need to pay is a lot of minerals and raw materials. Doesn't we need to pay for it?"
"Yes, this is the progress of our negotiations." Tukhachevsky said: "Comrade Stalin, if you want to carry out the next step of cooperation with the Germans, please make your mind."
smoking his big pipe, Stalin thought.
When all the tobacco leaves in the pipe were exhausted, Stalin finally made a decision: "We can start early cooperation with the Germans to build Dezezinski-class frigates and Tashkent-class destroyers. At the same time, the Germans are required to transfer the 40,000-ton class. The design plan and drawings of the battleship of the United States will be handed over to us for review. If everything goes well, then we will proceed with the plan for the Soviet-class battleship."
drawings! I asked for the drawings first, and even if the Soviet Union started construction on its own in the future, there would be an object to imitate! Of course Stalin also demanded security!
