Chapter 1084: Cow-class submarines
The battle of Paris was over, and the situation in Paris, which was supposed to be calm, stabilized, and allowed the occupied Paris to regain its production capacity, was agitated by the massive search for antiques. Germany didn't care about this, with the help of migrant workers in the northwest, Germany is not short of people at present, more than 1 million French in Paris, plus some prisoners of war, more than 1.5 million people, staying in Paris, is not a stabilizing factor, with the example of Belgium, anyway, the northwest wants everything, and it is not rare to get this bit of productivity in Paris, so simply send it, which can be regarded as an alternative stability to some extent.
The search for antiques is becoming more and more intense, and in fact, even Germany, when it took stock of the harvest in Paris, did not expect that there would be so much to be gained from Paris. Although the French are not as overlord of the seven seas of the world as the British, they have not scavenged a lot of things from all over the world, and they have obtained a large number of cultural relics from China alone, including the Yongle Grand Canon, which is huge in scale, and among the major museums in Paris, there are countless precious cultural relics of the Chinese dynasties.
What makes the Germans feel the most excited is that a large number of cultural relics have been obtained from the people, before Germany, never thought that there were such huge cultural relics in the people, but think about it, France in the past few hundred years, one after another turmoil, and the cooperation with the United Kingdom, to China, Africa, and even to the Americas, harvested a large number of cultural relics, part of which flowed into the museum, and more into the so-called aristocratic home, the aristocracy's style is so inherited, after several turmoil, These things are scattered more extensively, and some precious cultural relics may not be as good as museums, but there are also them, and the overall number is not less than that of museums, and the number is far exceeded.
A connection between the Northwest and Germany. It can be seen that the number of cultural relics has been refreshed step by step, from 5 million pieces, to 8 million, then 12 million, and finally. When the Germans sent back the final number, it was a staggering 15 million, not all Chinese artifacts, but Asia, the Americas, and even Europe.
When the rough estimate was sent back to the northwest, the northwest government was almost taken aback, and now the total industrial volume of the northwest is several astonishing and huge people. It is also the accumulation of a huge amount of wealth in the northwest, plus the sales before and after the outbreak of the First World War, 370 million pounds is not impossible to take, but such a one-time take, it really feels a bit wronged, so the northwest government, there are differences on this matter.
But. Yang Yuanzhao's decision gave this matter a final result. For China, this may be the only chance to get back the cultural relics that the French have taken from China, which seems to be expensive, but for peacetime, it is really nothing. Gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times, when people live and work in peace and contentment, such a spiritual demand for antiques is raised, among the cultural relics of France. Africa is only a very small part, aside from Chinese cultural relics, Asia, Europe, and even the Americas, in the future, it is a sales direction, and maybe it can still make money.
Antique money, part of the account of the Northwest government, only about one-tenth, for the government work is not much pressure, the rest was taken out by Yang Yuanzhao half, several major consortiums took out half, smoothly solved, speaking of which, most of the industries in the Northwest are Yang Yuanzhao's private property, it is under his efforts that the foundation of the industry in the Northwest has been laid, but he knows very well that to a certain extent, the wealth he controls alone is too huge, and for the future development of China, he can now guarantee his mentalityWhat about the future?
I don't know if this era has anything to do with future generations, but he hopes that in his era, China can develop better, so it is not appropriate for individuals to control too much wealth, and they must gradually hand them over to the state, so that the wealth under his name will become a state-controlled large enterprise, so that the macroeconomic regulation and control of state capitalism is aimed at all the people, and it is best for China.
Yang Yuanzhao did this, regardless of the cost, but the time is still relatively short, part of it has been handed over to the Northwest Government, and most of the funds and dividends are still given to Yang Yuanzhao, which is a huge number, and it will not even be much less than the financial revenue of the Northwest Government.
In the vast sea, a team of submarines is moving forward quickly, because this is not within anyone's range, and it is the high sea, so the submarine is still floating on the water, but for the submarine, even if it is on the water, because the bridge is low, and it is half-sunk in the water, it is also quite inconspicuous, unless it is close, it will not be found.
Zhao Xiuwu, the captain of the ocean-going transport submarine formation, an officer at the rank of lieutenant colonel, he can be regarded as a group of naval officers who grew up after the northwest gained a foothold in the navy, and the grade is only twenty-seven or eighteen years old, but he has already entered the level of an intermediate officer.
The Cow-class submarine is a unique formation developed separately in the Northwest, and the submarine itself is a special attack of the troops, which is more pure than the battleship, and does not pay attention to any defense, because for the submarine, any defense is futile, even if it is the future, the nuclear submarine of the big country's heavy weapons, their shell is also quite delicate, maybe some ordinary depth charges, can threaten him, which is somewhat similar to the airship, but the sea is different from the air, the protection formed by the endless sea, so that the submarine only pays attention to concealment, In the vast sea, there is no specific means of searching, and finding a huge submarine is really not much different from looking for a needle in a haystack.
However, Yang Yuanzhao found the example of transport submarines in later examples, and found that it was very suitable for the current situation, although it is said that Britain has not cut off the sea passage between the northwest and Germany, but when China really joins the camp of the allies, will it not be cut, even with the help of Borneo, the northwest can infiltrate its tentacles and power into Malacca, and even control the entire Malacca, but there is still a pass on the route from the Middle East to China that cannot be bypassed: India. Even if the method of direct shipping to the Indian Ocean is adopted, it is easy for Britain to block this route with India as a base.
If the United States intervenes in the Pacific War in the future, it will be a copy of Japan in World War II, and Japan's annexation of Southeast Asia will kill him, and the industrial heritage, population base and war potential of the northwest are far stronger than Japan's, but there are some things that must be prepared for a rainy day.
Therefore, a ship that can quietly cross the blockade line and can carry a huge amount of transport has become the key, and the submarine transport ship came into being, the cow class is made casually, after taking into account the balance of the submarine, there is not even too much self-defense weapons, even the torpedo is not loaded, but in terms of tonnage, it is quite huge, with a weight of 2500 tons, a full load displacement of more than 6500 tons, and a cow class with a full load displacement of more than 6500 tons, which can have a transport capacity of more than 3000 tons, which is already quite considerable in the submarine.
Zhao Xiuwu is responsible for the total number of submarines more than 30, the total load capacity of up to 90,000 tons, originally in charge of Taiwan, from ordinary submarines to professional cow class, Zhao Xiuwu for Taiwan to transport a large number of arms and personnel, for the capture of Taiwan in the first war made a great contribution, now Taiwan occupation has come to an end, the role of the cow class is not much, when Taiwan's Japanese defenders are almost cleaned up, when the ships are running away, it is completely possible to replenish with surface ships, not only the transport volume is large, Loading and unloading is also relatively easy.
It was easy to rest, Zhao Xiuwu himself thought that he would be responsible for helping the northwest to the south after a little rest, but he didn't expect that after the war in Europe was rekindled, he was sent to Europe, thousands of miles away, to test their long-distance navigation ability, Zhao Xiuwu looked at the measuring instrument in his hand, marked the location on the chart, passed Cape Town yesterday, and it is estimated that in more than ten days, he will be able to arrive in Germany.
The war in Europe has been rekindled, which Yang Yuanzhao knew from the beginning that Germany still did not hide from its allies, besides, even if he wanted to hide it, he couldn't hide it, all the anti-aircraft machine guns were imported from the northwest, and a large number of anti-aircraft machine guns were concentrated. After passing the Northwest officers who interned in the German General Staff and knowing a large number of anti-aircraft machine guns on the German side, Yang Yuanzhao knew that the capture of Paris was only a matter of time, after a decisive battle with more than 1,000 airships, the Germans won, and the ground war had not yet begun. It really doesn't have the demeanor of the second power, the army power.
In this way, it is logical for cultural relics to return to China, in order to welcome the return of this batch of cultural relics, the northwest decisively sent Zhao Xiuwu led by the cow transport submarine formation, in the next three months, there will be 12 batches, a total of about 370 cow-class submarines, through thousands of miles of sea area, to Germany, a large number of antiques through the underwater, transported to the northwest to complete the transaction, Zhao Xiuwu is the vanguard, will also be the most precious batch, the most valuable batch, transported to China.
