After doing all the bad things, Hitler thought about the poor navy that his family was building. When he thought that the great Germany only had three pitiful armored ships, and a few outdated destroyers, cruisers and submarines, he had to hold his nose and follow the "British-German"

When the Naval Agreement was implemented on such a small scale, Hitler felt his heart burning.

In fact, since last year, Germany's new warship plan has begun to accelerate. On July 9

On August 1, Germany announced a shipbuilding plan: two battlecruisers (the Scharnhorst class),

Two heavy cruisers (the Hipper class), sixteen destroyers and twenty-eight submarines. The first ship of the Hipper class, the Admiral Hipper, was launched at Blohm, Fort in Hamburg on July 6.

Si(b***

**) Shipyard construction started: On August 15 of that year, the second ship Blücher started construction at the Deutsche Werft in Kiel. On April 23, 1936, the additionally built improved Prinz Eugen was also built in the German shipyard in Kiel.

Nea Shipyard lays keel.

Subsequently, the construction of two "Bismarck-class battleships" and the "Graf Zeppelin" aircraft carrier will also begin. In addition to a large number of secret submarines, the German Navy is actually also expanding at a crazy rate. Among them, Hitler is most concerned about

Yes, there are still two battleships. This is an important indicator of the re-emergence of Greater Germany and becoming a world military power!

He couldn't remember the specific number, but he was deeply impressed by the caliber of the main gun. It seemed that his own guns couldn't keep up with the thickness of the Chinese guns! How could such a thing happen? Hitler immediately summoned the Navy Commander E.

Rich and Raeder inquired about this matter.

As soon as they met, Hitler rolled his eyes and stared at Raeder with a serious face, and asked sharply: "Ah! My dear Mr. Commander, there is one thing I can't understand. Why does our battleship have a larger tonnage, but

Only a smaller main gun than the Chinese?! This question is, are some people lazy?"

Erich, Raeder broke out in a cold sweat on the spot! It was not because he was scared by Hitler, but simply because he was distracted by such a nonsensical question! What does this mean? The tonnage and caliber of the battleship were determined through extremely strict procedures.

The results obtained through scientific calculation and verification cannot be changed casually, right?

I had no choice but to explain patiently: "Our battleship's main gun is the best indicator obtained after rigorous calculations. Although it seems to have a smaller caliber, we have a longer range and extremely excellent penetration capabilities.

It’s no worse than the Chinese copying the American 406mm main gun

, even better! At the same time, using such a main gun is also to ensure a larger tonnage margin, strengthen the armor thickness and overall stability of the battleship, and achieve an unsinkable effect. And our battleship's secondary guns and overall ammunition delivery

Their strength cannot be matched by the Chinese warships."

"This makes sense... After hearing this, Hitler counted out the number of artillery pieces on his fingers. It was six more twin-mounted 150mm secondary guns and a dozen anti-aircraft guns than China's, regardless of caliber.

In other words, the firepower is very fierce, and the thickness of the armor is even better. It will not be penetrated by any main gun in the world today.

But after thinking about it, he still felt uneasy and asked: "So, in the manufacture of battleships, have we used the strongest alloy we got?! I once gave an order that it must be used in key places! We must ensure that the battleship

Strong and safe!”

Redel understood what he was talking about, which was a high-resolution alloy secretly produced by the Krupp Company. It was superior to ferrous alloys, was lighter, and was even rarer in quantity. Its annual output did not even reach 10,000 tons. But Redel

I don’t know too many details, I just know that it has a lot to do with the Chinese Zhu Bin.

In fact, they are standard boxes used to hold gold ore. High-end goods that ordinary steel-making technology cannot handle. After obtaining the plasma smelting technology provided by Zhu Bin, a high-temperature plasma smelting furnace with a temperature of up to 2000 degrees can be built to smelt those metals.

, the total quantity collected as the ultimate treasure is less than 100,000 tons.

Redl immediately replied: "This has been determined to be used in the design. Using it to form the hull armor belt and turret, the bridge armor is stronger and almost impenetrable, and it also reduces the total displacement by more than 2,000

tons, only 39,000 tons, but the speed has been slightly improved. It should be the fastest battleship in the world!" "Well, that's good!" Hitler was satisfied. Everything was carried out according to his personal instructions, so what was finally built was

The invincible battleship will definitely show his glory.

The fastest! The strongest! The strongest firepower! The fastest rate of fire! Everything about Redl’s answer satisfied Hitler, but after much deliberation, Hitler still couldn’t swallow this breath. In his mind, the caliber of the gun barrel was the same as the

Deterrence is directly related to the thinner ones than the Chinese ones, which is hard to accept! The Japanese seem to have 410mm ones!

Relaxing his tense face, Hitler seemed to ask kindly: "Well, dear Raeder, with Germany's status, we should not only have two battleships, that is too few. I remember you once proposed a new naval expansion

Is that the plan? What does our new battleship say? Raeder actually doesn’t like the Nazis very much, and he is not very interested in Hitler’s madness, but in the navy’s grand expansion strategy

However, the two sides were able to remain consistent, so they answered patiently: "Yes. We have a follow-up plan to build a larger-scale navy. Based on the current construction quantity, we should build at least four more larger ships.

It is a battleship. She should have a standard displacement of no less than 50,000 tons, and a powerful firepower of more than 8 406mm main guns!" "Is it just eight such main guns? Wouldn't it be too powerful?"

Something was obviously wrong in Hitler's eyes. With emphasis on the repeated numbers, the two Redels immediately realized what the Prime Minister was most concerned about. At the same time, they also suddenly understood the reason for this sudden summons and asked, and they felt even more excited in their hearts.

He thought it was ridiculous and felt so aggrieved that he almost went crazy.

Therefore, the attitude became not very friendly, and he said firmly: "The 406mm caliber main gun is the largest and most powerful warship weapon we can currently design. According to the estimation standards of Kefangbo Company, it must be undisputed in the world today.

The most powerful artillery. Of course, the number is small and may be increased further. With the progress of subsequent research, 420mm can also be tested.

I'm worried." Hitler's expression immediately changed, and he even nodded vigorously with a little joy, shaking his long parted hair back and forth: "That would be the best! I hope to see the corresponding plans and plans as soon as possible. I am very

I am happy to see the powerful German Navy sailing across the oceans again. The production of two new battleships must be accelerated, and we cannot let the Chinese get ahead!"

"Okay. I will personally pay attention to this matter." Commander Redel managed to deal with it with a grudge. He turned around and ordered the shipyard to stop dawdling and start work as soon as possible!

On the other hand, he urged Krupp to come up with a larger-caliber main gun and a larger triple turret no matter what. Redel didn't want to have him go back and forth over such a bullshit issue again.

thing!

With Hitler's special care, Japan naturally got the news very quickly. Almost the next day, Japan was shocked to learn that the Chinese were building a fast battleship equipped with nine cannons, with a displacement of more than 40,000 tons (the Germans

slip of the tongue?), the entire Navy immediately lost its composure. A special cabinet meeting was held for this matter. Prime Minister Hirota Koki absolutely shut up and stopped mentioning any diplomatic measures, because China's construction of battleships means that the military

The competition officially begins!

"A battleship of more than 40,000 tons! The nine 406mm main guns, although I am not sure about other data, but if it is really imitated from the United States, it is powerful enough to threaten all the battleships of the empire! The advantage of the imperial navy will no longer be

Such a thing is absolutely not allowed to exist!" The Ministry of the Navy had been frustrated for a long time.

Finally found a chance to speak. Marine Minister Nagano Shushen is a staunch leader of the naval expansionists, and he single-handedly pushed Japan to withdraw from the London Disarmament Agreement. He has long shouted "I don't know how many times" China's navy continues to expand.

Threat Theory" This time, it can be considered that we have caught unmistakable evidence and opportunities.

Hirota Koki was still very worried about these guys messing around, and frowned and asked: "Hasn't the plan to replenish four battleships been approved...? The new battleships should be powerful enough to suppress the Chinese navy, even around the world.

Inside, it should also be the most powerful."

After the two battleships "King Kong" with more than 20 years of experience were sunk last year, the Navy immediately used this as an excuse to propose a plan to build four more battleships. However, it has not been approved by the previous cabinet. One is that it has not been approved by the previous cabinet.

Qian and Er felt it was unnecessary. But after the August 26 incident, military intervention in politics officially came to power, Hirota Hiroshi

Yi couldn't suppress these guys anymore. At the end of the year, he passed the requirements of a new round of naval replenishment plan... and decided to build four new battleships with a standard displacement of 4 tons in January this year to replace and supplement the remaining "King Kong class".

---Updated as soon as possible. Now, Nagano Shushen actually said this. It seems that he has a new idea.

Sure enough, Nagano Shushen stared and shouted: "That is just a temporary supplement! It is not enough to guarantee the advantage over the China Navy! The future mission of the empire is to face the conquest of the entire world, and just four new battleships are definitely not enough

! We believe that we should build at least four more powerful super battleships that are unsurpassed in the world!" "You mean...?" "Yes! It's the one issued by the Military Command last year.

It is a large battleship with more than 8 460mm main guns, 4 15.5cm triple guns or 4 20cm guns, with a speed of 30 knots and a cruising range of 8000 nautical miles with 1...8 energy saving!" Nagano's slim eyes

It was shining with a scorching light, and I read out the relevant data submitted to the ship administration headquarters last year verbatim, and my heart was so hot that it almost started to burn, 460mm

A super battleship with a main gun! (To be continued.
