Chapter 143
German Bamboo Bar
"Ambulatory assault ship"? I have never heard of it or seen it. Is it a new invention for Guli a strange name that cannot be classified? Which country does it come from? China is impossible.
The designers shook their heads together to express their ignorance. This thing is really new, but it does not prevent them from paying close attention to the drawings and explanations in front of them. A new weapon and equipment represents a new military idea and war model. You cannot underestimate it.
This is a special purpose large warship carefully transformed by Zhu Bin based on his own needs and combined with the structural design of the "German-class" armored ship that he had peeked about.
The size is mostly similar to the "Germany class", but due to the structural changes of the hull, the length is 19 meters, slightly longer, 23 meters wide, 6.2 meters of draft, 1,300 tons of water, and a full load of 20,000 tons. The details are very different.
The appearance adopts a spherical bow, and does not use a symmetrical structure with a front and back or an elliptical "cruiser stern". Instead, a square stern starting from the middle and directly to the bottom, plus the overall floating design greatly increases the area of the deck, while the bottom structure and keel are not changed much.
The deck structure is also different. The "German" front and rear turrets were not used. This strange warship, code-named "Honeycomb", placed all the two turrets in the front. The back-type structure greatly reduced the space occupied. The single bridge and mainmast were slightly behind in the middle, the chimney was on the right side, and most of the hull behind was a one-square-meter overtime, with water plane parking warehouses and cranes.
In addition to the same triple turret, the single-barrel secondary gun and 105 dual-unit anti-aircraft gun were abolished, and 4 US-made two-unit 127 high-level dual-purpose guns and dual-unit anti-aircraft guns were used. Eight dual-unit 37 anti-aircraft guns were cancelled, and eight self-designed double-unit 25 machine guns were used, plus 6 water aircraft, and two triple anti-submarine deep-water bomb ejectors were used, and two quad-unit torpedo launchers were cancelled.
As for the armor, the power system is the same as the original version, and the power system is the same as the eight 9-cylinder, two-stroke n-diesel engines, with dual-axis propulsion, and the endurance and speed are similar.
But what is different from the original is that a huge empty capsule is created under the empty deck behind, which can carry a large number of speedboats, armored forces or soldiers. Zhu Bin did not give a specific number. The Germans judged that the number of units delivered at one time would not be less than 1,000 tons, or a battalion of troops, or hundreds of cars, or dozens of tanks.
"This is a kind of freak warship. Many of the contents of the reduction and increase are not known for. But it can be clearly stated that, first of all, she copied the design of our 'German-class armored ship'. How the drawings were leaked, we don't know whether it is secondly, her goal is not just to break the cross-border attacks, but also the ability to land and attack. Such a large range is not just for China's coastal defense. Six watercraft with large carrying capacity can launch bombings on the warship. Finally, the person who designed her must be a madman. If she is besieged by a group of high-speed cruisers and destroyers, it will suffer huge losses."
It is obvious that this warship is used to deal with the Japanese, and it is also the carrier and delivery tool of Zhu Bin's so-called amphibious combat force. Once it is used for breaking the diplomatic and sabotage, the huge endurance of 16,000 nautical miles will become their nightmare. Japan's long island chain does not have shore defense heavy artillery, so it is hard to defend against it.
The cultivation of the Germans made them feel embarrassed to point directly at Zhu Bin's nose and scold the thief and the madman, but they have to admit that this is a bold design concept. If used in certain specific environments, it can indeed play the role of a surprise weapon. Who would have thought that such a powerful warship could hide the power that can compete for the beach? Unexpectedly, the opponent would be in trouble.
The final requirement they found was that all the equipment and materials of the two warships were imported from Germany, but assembling and building one must be completed in China and construction will be started at the same time.
"Is this really OK?"
There is no precedent and I don’t know who the design comes from. The engineers have some questions in their minds. After all, warships are an extremely complex industrial product, almost reaching the peak of human mechanical technology, integrating almost all industrial inventions, every detail needs to be dealt with seriously, and it is also a person that requires huge manpower and wisdom to work together. In China, I have never heard of such a person.
This is really not something they can say. After a lot of people working overtime, they initially judged based on the model provided by Zhu Bin that this kind of warship should be able to achieve the design ability and can be manufactured, but the price... I am afraid it will be much higher than the "Germany level". The structural change will inevitably lead to an increase in engineering volume.
And the big problem is that Zhu Bin asked to speed up the construction speed.
Generally speaking, even a German shipyard with a 20,000-ton radius will take a year to go into the water, and it will take more than a year to complete the construction, and then after half a year to a year of airworthiness, adjustments and improvements, it will be officially put into service. That is, it will be completed in three years, which is considered fast.
But Zhu Bin demanded that he would be able to enter the service in two years. He had no plans for some later work at all. He required that according to the wartime emergency construction standards, workers would work in three shifts. It would be fine to give more money. All he wanted was a quick one
Little Krupp could understand his mood very well. Now China is being pressed by Japan step by step. Maybe one day there will be a bloody battle. Without a powerful warship to serve as a sea defense force, he can only be beaten passively. That feeling is definitely not good. Therefore, preparing for a powerful navy, even if it is just used to fight against Japan, is enough to greatly alleviate the pressure of ground war.
But even so, we can't be so anxious to let the stereotyped Germans work in three shifts. Is this possible?
"Employment issues, the first thing that five or six million unemployed workers in Germany needs is work. As for what time, they won't care too much? Moreover, as the backbone of the ruling Kuomintang Party of Taiwan, don't you want Germany to get out of the shadow of the economic crisis as soon as possible?"
Zhu Bin was very tempted and raised a key issue that no one could avoid. The ruling party must give the people a meal. This is the basis, and Hitler also guaranteed it so, so he received support. Zhu Bin gave orders for two warships, which could at least solve the employment of tens of thousands of people. This is not a small number, not to mention other things.
Krupp is actually very grateful to him. In the past six months, the various large-scale facility orders given by Zhu Bin have allowed hundreds of thousands of Germans to get job opportunities in the first place, providing great help to the National Socialist Party. The most important thing is that those batches of gold ore bring real money, 100,000 tons, worth 40 million US dollars. This is just a quantity, and it will continue to increase in the future. This requirement is not an exaggeration.
"Let's think about it."
The Germans' attitude is quite sincere, and they do not use hypocritical inference to fool them. Zhu Bin is quite satisfied with this, and then put forward a second request: "I want to invite some famous German scholars and experts to China to give lectures, spread the advanced German concepts to the East, deepen our mutual understanding and enhance friendship. Some newly graduated college students can also find employment in China. There are too many infrastructure positions, which is suitable for them to get familiar with work from scratch. After all, we have used so many German equipment, and only Germans can play their real role."
"Is this OK?" Krupp and Crane stared at each other again, full of desire.
The Germans are very jealous of Americans flocking into China, earning tens of thousands of jobs, earning higher salaries than in China, and doing easier guidance work. Of course, the British are also jealous, but their relationship with Zhu Bin has always been not very good. They are always random and mixed in the Sino-Japanese conflict and are unwilling to express their opinions, which is really disappointing. Therefore, they have never given them a chance.
Germany is different. Not to mention the more than 200 consulting groups in China, even with the hundreds of millions of orders brought by Zhu Bin today, it must be a good partnership, right? Then there is no big problem to get a 100,000-80,000 Germans to work in the Far East?
Zhu Bin hasn't spoken much. The Germans are just transporting equipment there one by one, and they are anxious, but they are very reserved and do not ask, "This thing cannot be reduced in price."
Now that Zhu Bin has proposed it, the two of them immediately saw a great opportunity to hope.
Hans Crane said seriously: "I think Mr. Zhu's proposal is very good, which will greatly promote the cooperation and friendship between China and Germany, and we will definitely do our best to promote it."
Zhu Bin smiled and nodded: "Then we will wait for good news for you two."
This problem is not a problem at all when Hitler comes. If you want experts, college students, workers, and everything is not a problem. Of course, you can't go to those who are interested in the house for the time being, but there are a lot of people who don't like you.
The core concept of the National Socialist Party or the Nazi Party determines that a considerable number of Germans do not conform to national conditions. Here, professors, scholars, students, etc. from various universities account for at least 30% of them. Since the second half of this year, various exclusion, driving and crackdowns have occurred everywhere. The enrollment rate of German schools and the on-the-job rate of teachers have plummeted. Hitler did not think it was a pity. Not to mention other things in Germany, there are many talents.
These people, if they stay in China, have to occupy jobs, eat wages, enjoy welfare benefits, increase burdens, and may become time bombs. They will rush to the East to exchange for real gold, silver and strategic resources, and increase some political chips and earn some foreign exchange. They will kill the numbers in one fell swoop.
Accurate
Hitler agreed to the cooperation proposal without much hesitation. From the bottom of his heart, he looked down on the Oriental people, whether it was Japan or China, in his opinion, these second-class people from Germany were of little use when they went to the Far East. Want to revitalize these people to drive Germany? The wisdom of the great Germans has always been in the hands of the outstanding Aryan race. These fish, go hell
