In addition to the vital oil needs to be started from Italy, the country's armed forces and some subsystem technology can also provide excellent help for Germany's future wars. You must know that the Italian navy during World War II was larger than the German navy, and its 6 battleships and 19 cruisers at the time of the war were enough to be called the best in the Mediterranean Sea (the French navy had already been disarmed). In fact, it is not surprising at all, after all, Italy was also one of the five major naval powers that signed the "Washington Treaty" that year, even if its own industrial foundation is quite inferior to France, but the family foundation accumulated in the past 20 years is richer than the German navy, which was imprisoned by the "Treaty of Versailles" for 16 years.

If the Italian Navy can climb the Tech Tree, even if it doesn't strengthen its lineup, it will be enough to dominate the Mediterranean Sea and wait for an opportunity to break out of this inner lake and enter the wider ocean. Whether it is westward into the Atlantic Ocean or eastward out of the Indian Ocean, it will play a decisive role in Germany's strategy: the former can join forces with the German navy to achieve a complete strangulation of British maritime shipping; The latter would also cut off an important route for the Allies to aid the Soviet Union, greatly reducing the pressure on Germany after the outbreak of war on the Eastern Front.

In the plane that Fang Yan was in before he crossed, most people only knew about the PQ-17 fleet and the Arctic route with high winds and waves; In fact, less than 24 percent of the total Allied aid to the Soviet Union was brought into the Soviet Union through this route, and the remaining 76 percent was imported through the Indian Ocean route through the Iranian corridor and Vladivostok in the east. The main reason why the latter two routes have been unknown in history is that the merchant ships have always been too peaceful in the process of transporting goods, and there is no great danger that the robes who take the Arctic route have to face. Of the more than 16.3 million tons of supplies that the Allies provided to the Soviet Union, 12.4 million tons were carried by the latter two routes, and not a single ton of these goods was lost due to the sinking of merchant ships!

As for subsystem technology, Germany, which has been suppressed by the Treaty of Versailles for more than ten years, undoubtedly needs to be copied from it. The large-caliber naval guns and supporting turrets developed by Krupp during World War II are much heavier than the products of foreign counterparts, which can be described by the word "pit daddy". The 381 mm Model-1934 naval gun launched by Ansal Ordnance Industry in Italy has the same development time as Krupp's 380 mm SK-C/34 and has a similar weight, but the muzzle kinetic energy of the former is nearly 20% more than that of the latter, which is almost a full two grades of difference. Even if the muzzle kinetic energy of the former is obtained by sacrificing the life of the barrel, such a huge gap itself shows the serious problems of the latter. In terms of steam power, Germany, that is, on paper, is slightly better than Britain and the United States, and the boiler that pursues steam parameters too much has caused it to continue to have problems, until the Tirpitz has a slight improvement. In contrast, Italy's steam power technology is much higher, not only does it have a lower weight and high horsepower output than Germany, but the stability of the whole unit is also extremely reliable!

As soon as he thought of this, Fang Yan's gaze at Old Chiano gradually became enthusiastic. He was worried about finding a suitable spokesperson or ally in Italy, and this man with a strong background in both Italian politics and business circles appeared in front of him. For his strategy, it is undoubtedly omitted too many complicated details. Thinking of this, Fang Yan couldn't help but secretly speculate: the reason why he fell into the body of "Jonas", who has an excellent family background and life fortune, seems to be to give this plane Germany a chance to change his life!

"Mr. Ziano, I will pass on your business card to my father. I believe that in a few months, we will have a close cooperation that will satisfy both parties. Fang Yan carefully put the business card in his hand into his jacket pocket, and said to the old Ciano in front of him. He has no sense of politeness in his scheming, which makes him more in line with the stereotypical personality of the German. Fang Yan didn't take into account the possibility that the person in front of him would put aside his own interests, but there was still a Rudolph behind him to rely on, and Fang Yan also had full confidence in his cheap father's business methods. In this case, even if he is only engaged in the connection with the field of technology and the general direction, it is enough to ensure his own share of interests. As for the attitude of the Italian government, Fang Yan is even more convinced of it: Mussolini himself is the ancestor of fascism that pursued foreign expansion, and the possibility of being co-opted by Britain and France to confront Germany is almost non-existent.

"Just a few months? Brother Jonas, why are you so sure? Old Zianobi's eyes flashed, and he asked unhurriedly. Having dealt with many Germans when he was young, he understood that this old-fashioned and serious people had little politeness even in business. Fang Yan, who was unusually mature in mental age, understood that the old fox was playing tricks on his own words, and his vigilance against this person in his heart had increased a point, but he had no intention of hiding this plan from the other party. After combing through the timeline, Fang Yan immediately said in a low voice: "As far as I know, France's first post-treaty cruiser 'Doug Truan' will soon be launched at the Brest shipyard, right?" ”

Old Ziano was stunned, as if he didn't expect the young man in front of him to know all about such professional details; After a moment, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said softly, "Your shipyard is really well-informed. I am already very much looking forward to working with your shipyard in the future. ”

Fang Yan smiled faintly and did not explain more on this issue, in front of people like Old Chiano, maintaining a bit of unexpected mystery is the best way to maintain his own rights and interests. He took a sip of the freshness and sweetness of the coffee cup, which was completely different from the German style, and then said again: "Before the Great War, your navy was obsessed with the competition with the capital ships of France and Austria, and almost did not build any fast light cruises; The aging Pisa II and Georgia Class outfits were slow to cruise and were no longer able to withstand naval warfare in the new era. I can therefore venture to assert that your navy will within the next few years build a truly fast light patrol to meet the challenge of the French. Mr. Ziano is not only the deputy minister of your navy, but also an important shareholder of the giant Ansaldo; If Ansaldo's design is to win the contract in a competitive bidding process, then for you, Mr. Ziano, it should be the most desirable outcome, both public and private. ”

Old Ziano's eyes froze, and he said slowly: "Little brother Jonas, what do you mean ......"

"The Brom-Forss shipyard has built seven warcruisers at a bargain price, and its construction strength and design level are the best in Europe. Although the British stole a lot of our facility hardware four years ago, the design team that was made into steel was something they couldn't take away by force. In recent years, in order to improve the combat power of the German Navy in the harsh restrictions imposed by the Treaty of Versailles, the design team of Brom-Foss has carried out a large number of scheme demonstrations and successfully achieved a decisive breakthrough in the design level. As long as Ansal uses our solutions more, it will definitely be able to win orders with the decisive advantage of various indicators. I think this should be an ideal opportunity for us to cooperate bilaterally. Fang Yan's expression returned to the calmness and calmness he had when he first saw the other party, and his words showed the confidence in his chest.

Old Ziano frowned slightly, and he was very suspicious of Fang Yan's "decisive breakthrough"; Judging from the words of the other party alone, he does not look like a serious technical practitioner, but more like a trickster with a mouth full of cowhide. However, Brom-Foss has a reputation among all European continental and naval nations and is a true leader in the industry; Perhaps these Hans tried their luck in the post-war years, and it is not known what important results they really achieved? Old Chiano didn't have too many doubts about Fang Yan's self-reported home, he only needed to send someone to verify it casually afterwards, and he could know the truth of the young man's words.

"If that is the case, I would like to thank you for sharing your plan on behalf of Anshardo and the Italian Navy." Old Ziano exhaled, and his eyes were full of joy and anticipation when he looked at Fang Yan. His eyes moved, and he said, "I wonder what you need me to do for this?" ”

"As for the specific details of cooperation, I, who does not manage the business, have no ability to make any guarantees to you, Mr. Ziano. If you feel that our cooperation is meaningful, then I can convince my father to have a formal meeting with you, by which time all the details can be carried out in a pleasant exchange. Fang Yan lightly kicked the ball out of his feet, and did not give the other party any chance to talk again. This kind of concrete negotiation still has to be carried out by Rudolph, who is well versed in this way. He raised his hand to look at the clock on his wrist and said softly, "It's not early, I'm sorry to go home." Thank you for this cup of coffee, and I'm sure we'll see each other again soon. ”

Old Chiano took a deep look at the young man who had done things well, and then nodded politely goodbye, although they had only been together for a few dozen minutes, this young and handsome figure had already occupied a very important place in his heart. He slowly withdrew his gaze, but suddenly found that the daughter beside him was also looking at Fang Yan's departing back in a daze; He seemed to think of something, and his face gradually became solemn.
