The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

Chapter 143

"Amphibious Assault Ship"?I have never heard of it or seen it. Is it a new invention?Which country are you from?China, impossible.

All the designers shook their heads to express their ignorance. This thing is really fresh, but it does not prevent them from paying close attention to the drawings and instructions in front of them. A new weapon and equipment represents a new military thinking and war mode. It cannot be underestimated casually.

This is a special-purpose large warship that Zhu Bin carefully remodeled according to his own needs, combined with the structural design of the "Deutschland-class" armored ship that he peeped.

The size is mostly similar to the "Deutschland class", but due to changes in the structure of the hull, the length is slightly longer at 19 meters, the width is slightly larger at 23 meters, the draft is 6.2 meters, the displacement is 1300 tons, and the full load is 20000 tons.The detail design is very different.

The exterior shape adopts a bulbous bow, instead of using a front-rear symmetrical structure or an elliptical "cruiser stern", but a square stern that starts from the middle and goes straight to the bottom. The design of the overall flare greatly increases the deck area. , and the bottom structure and keel changes are not too much.

The deck structure is also different. Instead of using the "Deutschland" double front and rear turrets, this strange warship code-named "Honeycomb" puts both turrets in the front. The piggyback structure greatly reduces the space occupied, and the single bridge and mainmast are in the middle. Slightly behind, the chimney is on the right side, and most of the hull behind is a flat overtime, equipped with storage for water planes and cranes.

Armament, in addition to the same triple-mounted turret, the single-barreled secondary gun and 105 double-linked anti-aircraft guns were cancelled, and 4 American-made 2-mounted 127 high-level dual-purpose guns were used, and the double-linked anti-aircraft guns were cancelled. Eight dual-mounted 37 Anti-aircraft guns, using eight self-designed double-mounted 25 machine guns, plus 6 water planes, and 2 triple-mounted anti-submarine depth bomb ejectors, canceled 2 quadruple-mounted torpedo tubes.

The armor is the same as the original version, and the power system is also the same. Eight 9-cylinder two-stroke diesel engines, two-axis propulsion, and similar endurance and speed.

But what is different from the original is that there is a huge empty cabin under the vacant deck behind, which can carry a large number of speedboats, armored forces or soldiers.Zhu Bin did not give specific figures. The Germans judged that the quantity delivered at one time would not be less than [-] tons, or the strength of a battalion, or a hundred vehicles, or dozens of tanks.

"This is a freak warship. I don't know why many of the reductions and additions are made, but it is clear that, first of all, she copied the design of our 'Deutschland-class armored ship'. We don't know how the drawings leaked." Secondly, her goal is not only to break the border attack, but also to have the ability to land and attack sneak attacks. Such a long range is not only for China's coastal defense.Six seaplanes with large carrying capacity are enough to launch bombing battleships. In the end, the person who designed her must be a lunatic. If the speed of 2 knots is besieged by a group of high-speed cruisers and destroyers, the loss will be huge.”

Obviously, 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 to break diplomatic relations and destroy, the huge endurance of 16000 nautical miles will become their nightmare. Doesn’t the island chain in China have coastal defense heavy artillery, it’s impossible to defend against it

The self-cultivation of the Germans made them embarrassed to point at Zhu Bin's nose and scold the thief and madman, but they had to admit that this is a very bold design concept, and if it is used in certain circumstances, it can indeed play a role. Considering the role of Raiders, who would have imagined that such a powerful battleship would actually hide a force capable of competing for the beachhead?By surprise, the opponent will be in bad luck

In the end, they found that all the equipment and materials of the two warships should be imported from Germany, but the assembly and construction of one should be completed in China and started at the same time.

"Is this really possible?"

There is no precedent, and the design does not know who made it, so the engineers have some doubts in their hearts.After all, a battleship is an extremely complex industrial product, almost reaching the peak of human mechanical technology, integrating almost all industrial inventions, every detail needs to be handled carefully, and it 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.A bunch of people worked overtime. After some calculations, according to the preliminary judgment of the model provided by Zhu Bin, this kind of warship should be able to meet the design capabilities and can be manufactured, but the price... I'm afraid it will be a lot higher than the "Deutschland class" Structural changes will inevitably bring about an increase in engineering volume

And the big problem is that Zhu Bin asked to speed up the construction.

Generally speaking, even a German shipyard needs a year to launch such a [-]-ton-class ship, and it will take more than a year to complete the construction, and then half to a year to complete the construction. Only after navigation, adjustment, and improvement can it officially enter service, that is, three years to complete is considered fast.

But Zhu Bin demanded that he be able to enter the army within two years. He had no plans for some later work at all. He demanded that the workers should work in three shifts in accordance with the emergency construction standards during wartime. quick

Little Krupp can understand his feelings very well. Now China is being pressed by Japan step by step. It is impossible to say that there will be a bloody battle one day. Without powerful warships as coastal defense forces, they can only be passively beaten. The feeling is absolutely amazing. It's uncomfortable, so preparing a strong navy, even if it's just used to fight against Japan, will be enough to greatly relieve the pressure of the ground war.

But even so, you can't be so anxious! Let the rigid Germans work in three shifts, can this work?

"Gentlemen on the issue of employment, the 600 million unemployed workers in Germany need jobs first. As for when, they won't care too much about it? Moreover, as the backbone of Taiwan's ruling National Socialist Party, you don't want Germany to get out of the economic crisis as soon as possible. shadow?".

Zhu Bin persuasively raised a key question that none of them could avoid.The ruling party must provide food for the people. This is the basis. Hitler also guaranteed this, so he got support. Zhu Bin gave an order for two warships, which can at least solve the employment of tens of thousands of people. This is not a small amount. Not to mention there are others.

Little Krupp is already very grateful to him.In the past six months, Zhu Bin's orders for various large-scale facilities have allowed hundreds of thousands of Germans to get job opportunities out of difficulties, providing a huge boost to the Taiwan National Socialist Party.The most important thing is that those batches of gold ore brought real money! One hundred thousand tons is worth 4000 million US dollars. This is only a one-time amount, and it will continue to increase in the future. This request is not too much

"Let's think about it."

The attitude of the Germans is quite sincere, and they did not use hypocritical evasions to fool them.Zhu Bin was quite satisfied with this, and then made a second request: "I would like to invite some famous German scholars and experts to give lectures in China, to spread German advanced ideas to the East, and to deepen our mutual understanding. , To enhance friendship, some college students who have just graduated can also go to China to work. There are too many infrastructure construction jobs there, which is suitable for them to familiarize themselves with the work from scratch. After all, we have used so many German equipment, only Germans can play to their true effect."

"Is this ok?".Little Krupp and Klan stared again, full of longing.

The Germans are very jealous of Americans flocking to China, gaining tens of thousands of jobs, earning higher salaries than those in their own countries, and doing easier guidance work.Of course, the British are also jealous, but the relationship between them and Zhu Bin has not been very good. They are always messy and muddled in the Sino-Japanese conflict, and they refuse to express their views, which is really disappointing.Therefore, they were never given a chance.

Germany is different. Not to mention the more than 200 consultants in China, even with the huge orders of hundreds of millions brought by Zhu Bin, it must be a good relationship and partnership, right?So it's not a big problem to get one hundred and eighty thousand Germans to work in the Far East?

Zhu Bin didn't say much. The Germans just transported the equipment there one by one. They were quite anxious, but they were very reserved and didn't ask. The price of this thing can't be reduced.

Now that Zhu Bin brought it up, the two of them immediately saw great hope and opportunity coming

Hans Klein said solemnly: "I think Mr. Zhu's proposal is very good. It will greatly promote the cooperation and friendship between China and Germany. We will definitely do our best to facilitate it."

Zhu Bin smiled and nodded: "Then I'll wait for good news from you two."

When this problem came to Hitler, it was not a problem at all.Want an expert?Want a college student?Want workers?Everything is not a problem. Of course, those housekeepers can't go for the time being. There are a lot of people who don't like it.

The core philosophy of the National Socialist Party or the Nazi Party has determined that a considerable number of Germans do not conform to the national conditions. Among them, professors, scholars, and students from major universities account for at least [-]% of them. In the past six months, various exclusions, expulsions, and strikes have occurred everywhere. The enrollment rate of German schools and the employment rate of teachers have plummeted. Hitler did not feel any pity.Among other things, Germany has a lot of talents

These people, staying in the country, still need to occupy jobs, earn wages, enjoy welfare benefits, increase burdens, and may become ticking time bombs. They rush to the East in exchange for real gold, silver and strategic resources, and increase political bargaining chips along the way. Point foreign exchange, you can get it in one fell swoop

ready

Hitler agreed to the cooperation proposal with little hesitation.From the bottom of his heart, he looked down on Orientals, whether it was Japan or China, and in his opinion, it would be of little use for these second-class Germans to go to the Far East.Want to use these people to revive and catch up with Germany?There is no such thing as a great German wisdom has always been in the hands of the Aryan excellent race, these bastards, go to hell
