807, Overlord submarine
"Miss Wang and Mr. Payne have already talked about this question, so naturally it is not a problem." Hoss nodded: "Besides, I'm only in charge of the European agent, and I can't meddle in the affairs of Asia." ”
"Mr. Horst, I personally admire the self-discipline of the German people, and the friendly relations between the Republic of China and the German Empire have been maintained for a long time. The friendship between the peoples of our two countries can be said to go back to ancient times. ”
Bai Shujie talked a lot of nonsense, just nervously calculating in his heart. In the end, I decided to test the depth of water and see if it was possible to get what I wanted.
After making up his mind, Bai Shujie got straight to the point: "For quadruple anti-aircraft guns, I can order 240 units, and self-propelled anti-aircraft guns for 360 units." But, Mr. Horst, you also see that I am now surrounded by water. I don't know about commissioning the construction of 10 cruisers, can you mediate from them to meet my requirements? ”
"Mr. Commander-in-Chief, my Führer has signed a treaty of friendship and alliance with Japan, and the sale of submarines, a large weapon, to Japan's hostile countries is indeed very troublesome." Horst said slowly: "If we sell it directly, it is likely to cause a diplomatic dispute. When I say that, Mr. Commander-in-Chief should be able to understand, right? ”
"I fully understand the difficulties faced by Mr. Horst!" Bai Shujie said excitedly: "In order to avoid international diplomatic disputes, I naturally can't buy large weapons from you, nor from the German Empire!" However, I don't represent the government, it's just a non-governmental organization, can I send some students to study there? ”
"Mr. Commander-in-Chief, the study and exchange of people-to-people exchanges is to promote human progress, and there is no problem at all!" Horst smiled and said: "According to your order plan just now, our company can accept 1,200 people for academic exchanges!" ”
After the core issue was discussed, Bai Shujie and Horst were entangled around other things for a long time. This was mainly about a large number of precision machining equipment and painstaking negotiations, because Bai Shujie needed to obtain precision lathes, milling machines, drilling machines and stamping equipment from Germany and Sweden.
As long as there are precision lathes and stamping equipment, the level of "copycats" of various weapons in the future can be greatly improved.
But Horst bites very tightly, of course, mainly in terms of price. However, in the end, it was Bai Shujie who won, and Horst promised that the first batch of lathe equipment would arrive in a month.
As the negotiations deepened, Bai Shujie already knew that Horst came this time to shoulder the historical mission of the German army's base camp, that is, he must get the European agency authority of "Feilong Antibiotic". To put it bluntly, I'm ready to swallow this part for myself!
Bai Shujie knew in his heart that according to the course of history, the German mustachioed chariots were now fully fueled and were at the point of ignition at any time.
Today is January 7, 1938, and if the historical trajectory had not changed, it would have been only three months since the German mustache occupied Austria. This was followed by the occupation of the most important military-industrial power in Europe, Czechoslovakia.
Although it was far away on a small island in the east, Bai Shujie could already smell the strong smell of gunpowder. With the advent of antibiotics, that is the best medicine to save lives.
Bai Shujie is not averse to selling antibiotics to the Germans, increasing the survival rate of German veterans, prolonging the combat effectiveness of the German army, and creating greater killings for those old imperial tsarist countries, which is not necessarily a bad thing when you think about it. Even if he lacks morality, Bai Shujie doesn't care, but the necessary compensation must be obtained.
For this reason, Bai Shujie threw out his first-generation "airborne radar", which made Horst's eyes red at that time.
Radar technology and sonar technology, Britain and France have always imposed the most severe blockade on Germany, so throughout World War II, Germany's radar technology and sonar technology lagged behind a lot.
Bai Shujie knew the principle of sonar, but he didn't have any materials in his hand, and the simple sonar effect of making zuò was very unsatisfactory, and the detection distance was also very limited.
Therefore, Bai Shujie decided to take the risk and make a deal with Horst: that is, Bai Shujie's outstanding technology, Horst produced it, and then gave Bai Shujie a batch of finished sonar and a batch of airborne radar.
However, Bai Shujie has clear requirements: it must be manufactured in strict accordance with its own design, passive sonar detection distance of more than 5 nautical miles, active sonar detection distance of more than 3 nautical miles.
Weapons experts are different, Bai Shujie did not come up with drawings and technical parameters, just listed a few key points, and Horst agreed: the production right belongs to Germany, and the finished product is divided into four parts, and Bai Shujie gets a quarter of the finished product.
Bai Shujie didn't have time to continue talking nonsense, and directly threw out a price plan: 5,000 units of "Feilong Antibiotic", 2 pieces of gold per ounce.
Of course, now that there is a tripartite cooperation, Bai Shujie asked Horst to send a telegram to Payne, and the three parties will come up with a common price to determine how the "Feilong antibiotic" should be priced in the end.
After three repeated telegraph consultations, Bai Shujie relented after Payne promised to get the IXB submarine within a year and immediately arrange for 600 people to study at the German naval school:
"5,000 thousand units of antibiotics, 3 sticks of one ounce of gold. Because of the extreme difficulty of production, the supply began in February 1938, and the European and American agents each had 10,000 pieces in the first month. According to the market situation and production situation, the supply level is adjusted at any time. ”
In fact, whether it is Payne or Horst, they all represent their own countries and do some illegal things outside that "the government can't come forward". They agreed to Bai Shujie's "unreasonable request" so happily for two reasons:
First of all, in the past ten years, the three words "Bai Shujie" represent strong strength. Being able to go toe-to-toe with Asia's No. 1 power, and still live a nourishing life, this force cannot be underestimated, and it seems to have a very promising future.
It would be even better to add that the three words "Bai Shujie" also represent "rebels".
The dismemberment of China and its eternal fragmentation is the most welcome outcome of the world's old capitalist countries. Properly support Bai Shujie, those countries feel that there is no harm.
As far as international forces and national interests are concerned, it is never a bad thing to support one of China's "rebels."
In the past few decades, starting from supporting Sun Yat-sen against the Qing Dynasty, these old capitalist countries have been doing this, and even sparing no effort.
It is precisely because the world powers are so "selfless and helpful" that mankind is progressing and China is regressing. The lion of the East was covered with bruises, but he never woke up.
Otherwise, how could there have been so many warlord melee battles for so long? Let's ask: Which real warlord has no shadow of the great powers behind him?
The second reason for Payne and Horst's concession is simple.
The big Western powers all know that the mustache of the German Hitler will definitely not "keep to himself" and will definitely do it. However, they all agreed that Germany's target should be the Soviet Union in the east, not the Maginot Line in the west.
It is an indisputable fact that Hitler hated communism, which he had repeatedly expressed his attitude.
Britain, France, the United States, Austria, and Hungary believed that Germany was a member of their own camp and had always adopted a "policy of appeasement," so they naturally neglected to take precautions.
Because of this, although he knew that Germany was going to make a move, he was still silent, and even secretly rejoiced in his heart. It's good that they didn't stand up and say "strong support", how could they come forward to stop it?
The only thing I didn't expect was that the ambition of Hitler's mustache was too big, so that those old capitalist countries would "move other people's stones and shoot themselves in the foot!" ”
The disaster was not realized, and the result was burned, two words: deserved!
All the capitalists in the world are pinning their hopes on the establishment of a world-wide "anti-. The Great Alliance", stifling the possibility of "being revolutionized by oneself", and finally leading to the outbreak of World War II, this is the retribution of Europe and even the whole world!
The only ones who took advantage were the Americans!
The decline of an empire is inevitably accompanied by the birth of a great power.
After the First World War, the United States was born. In World War II, Hitler's mustache wiped out the development potential of Britain and France, completely shattered the European pattern, and created an opportunity for China's rise.
Therefore, the biggest "nobleman" in modern China should be Hitler's mustache!
Bai Shujie and his two lives are human beings, and they naturally know the despicable and dirty dark thoughts of those powers. If you don't fish in troubled waters at this time, it's not called "the devil".
What Bai Shujie hates the most is actually the European powers.
At that time, the Eight-Nation Coalition was all Europe doing something wrong in it. What Austria and Belgium, such fleas with big little fingers, have climbed on the heads of the Chinese nation.
At that time, the United States had not yet completed a weapon, and although it participated in the operation, it was only "playing soy sauce". The little devil of the East fishes in troubled waters, and naturally he should be killed!
Help Hitler's mustache as much as possible, smash all the pots and jars in Europe, and make them unable to turn over for three hundred years, this is Bai Shujie's real intention.
When Horst was about to leave three days later, he introduced the translator to Bai Shujie: "Mr. Commander-in-Chief, this is my Asian assistant, Miss Glen. From today onwards, he will be the representative in Pyongyang, who will be responsible for the business exchanges between us, and I hope that Mr. Commander-in-Chief will take care of you! ”
Pyongyang has an "international friend" and "partner," and it is also a permanent resident, which is an epoch-making historical event and a great opportunity to further expand its international influence.
Bai Shujie created this opportunity by himself, so naturally he couldn't let it go.
So Horst brought 10,000 5,000 units of "Feilong antibiotics", Bai Shujie's "free" radar and sonar patents, and the most important thing was a complete set of drawings.
This set of drawings was used by Bai Shujie to exchange the patents of 5 submarines, and the other 5 were offset with medicines. That is, the little devil is still "studying hard", and he has not made it, the largest submarine "Yi 14" during World War II!
The "Yi 14" is 122 meters long, 12 meters high, has a draft of 7.02 meters, has a speed of 20 knots on the water, 7 knots underwater, and has a range of 33,000 nautical miles/16 knots, a range of 37,500 nautical miles in 14 knots on the water, and a range of 60 nautical miles in 3 knots.
Its rubber-coated construction repels noise, and its streamlined dual-hull design allows it to survive the cold depths of the ocean. It can continue to fight for more than four months, and the combat radius can reach any corner of the world.
3,530 tons of water displacement and 6,560 tons of underwater displacement; 4-seater 2-axle diesel engine with 7,750 hp; 2 1788 kW generators; It can carry 3 water bombers and 1 Type 10 Type 4 Type 10 injection aircraft. The crew is designed to be 145 people, and the actual number is 220.
The armament consisted of one 140mm 50-barrel long deck gun at the stern, eight torpedo tubes in the bow, one 25mm anti-aircraft gun on the conning tower, and three triple 25mm anti-aircraft guns above the hangar.
It's a top-secret document, and Horst keeps it most intimately. And repeatedly promised: "I will personally hand it over to the Führer to facilitate the success of this transaction!" Then he took the 1,200 young students selected by Yang Erya and Qin Yuefang and embarked on a voyage back to Europe.
Bai Shujie immediately ordered: "After the beginning of spring, six villas will be built on Heiling Mountain as the center of commercial activities in the future." In the future, agents from various countries must fly their own national flags. ”
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
