According to the newly launched "Foreign Affairs" magazine launched by the United States, the United States is trying to dedicate its wisdom and decision-making to the whole world, and hopes to see a new order of human civilization led by the United States.

The magazine even advocated that since World War I, the United States has transformed a huge country into a world power with its high degree of democracy, which shows that its policy influence and authority are beyond doubt......

Immediately afterwards, major newspapers in Britain, France, and other countries began to follow suit, and even some of Germany's dependent countries announced that they were willing to emulate and implement this so-called American-style democracy.

However, the opposing camp, represented by the Soviet Union, disdained the high-profile hawking of the United States, and even fought each other-for-tat in major newspapers and magazines.

"The great power struggle has quietly begun, and it seems that this time the thunder is loud and the rain is not small." Max said as he handed the day's newspaper to Eric.

"What a democracy, in fact, is outright oligarchy! Buy Strong, Sell Strong! There is no fairness and justice at all! They are doing this to themselves at home, and even more so to the international community! Americans have been around for more than a hundred years, and the problems they face far outweigh the benefits it brings! No one can argue with this. Eric said unceremoniously.

"But they are rightful and arrogant, like an iron law in the world." Max said angrily.

"It's just nonsense, when will the United States elect a good civilian president to show me!" Eric said disdainfully.

"The statements published by the American magazine are obviously extremely challenging, and it seems that our Minister of Defense, Walter Brauchitsch, said that the southern dependency will be affected, and it does not seem to be an empty wind for no reason." Max said. Subsequently, he asked the president to strengthen the ideological and political education of the people and avoid blindly following the trend and being deceived......

Obviously, the United States has realized that the Middle East is an unbreakable part of the Soviet Union and Germany, and if it intervenes forcibly, the United States will not only not be able to do what it wants, but will be passive. Rather than being squeezed out by Germany and the Soviet Union at that time, it is better to shout in the air, spread political remarks, and demagoguery to save face.

A well-known US analyst believes that the current situation in the world is not very clear, and although the German Federal Government seems to be very close to the Soviet Union, in fact it is quietly licking its wounds and taking what it needs, and once the interests of the two sides collide, mutual hatred will be just around the corner.

Eric heartily agreed with the analyst's prediction that Germany's living space was shrinking as the Soviet Union gradually strangled the opposition forces around it. It is not that Germany has not seen the situation clearly, and the Soviet Union is not a fool, but now the blister has not been broken, and both sides are still trying to maintain the status quo.

The Americans are now anxious to help lift the lid, but Germany and the Soviet Union have not been fooled, both countries know that this kind of political game often goes wrong at the slightest thought, so they try to avoid touching this small, weak lead.

Recently, it was reported that the Soviet Union had tried to reach an agreement with Turkey, and the two sides would unite the countries in the region to share the interests of the Black Sea and jointly resist the influence of foreign forces in the region. Turkey also reacted positively, taking the opportunity to ask the Soviet Union to help it fight separatist forces in the country, especially to suppress sporadic uprisings by ethnic minorities in the southeast.

The Soviets generously accepted the invitation and intensified its crackdown on ethnic militants in Turkey until most of the remaining separatists fled to neighboring countries.

Obviously, Kemer's attack on national separatist forces is intended to consolidate his dominance and to declare to the outside world the existence of a strong country in the region. On the one hand, it was to help the Kemmel government and make a good favor, and on the other hand, it had another opportunity to clear the way for the Soviet Union to control the Middle East in the future.

On the slipway of the Blomforth shipyard, workers are working intensely. Following Eric around the slipway, Brauchitsch stumbled upon the contents of the day's newspaper on the workbench and gritted his teeth in anger.

In fact, Eric and Franz had already seen the news, but as the president of the Federation, he was not convenient for seizures, but behaved very calmly.

"There are never eternal friends in the world, nor eternal enemies, only eternal interests, Your Excellency. Kemmel was just a layman, and he certainly couldn't jump out of this circle. Eric reassured him.

"I just can't get used to his appearance as a wealthy tyrant, how can a dilapidated Ottoman remnant government be a guest of the German Confederation? And only the Soviet Union would have expressed its joy. Brauchitsch's words were actually a little sour.

"Don't worry, Your Excellency. Turkey's approach is also for self-preservation, and we should show our understanding. Now our Ministry of Defense can show our posture with an appropriate positive assessment of the actions of the USSR and Turkey. Eric said meaningfully.

"I have to say that this is a clever approach of Mr. President, because we can't change this status quo by saying good or bad, so it's better to applaud them." Although Franz is not good at words, he is actually rich in political ideas, which is very optimistic about Eric.

The U-35 submarine is a legend of the German Navy, and in the First World War, it achieved the most brilliant results, sinking a total of 224 Allied ships of all types, and the total tonnage of damage reached 540,000 tons. Lothar von Arnold de le Peller, who served as the vessel for the longest time, became a legend of the First World War.

Humorously, before sinking enemy ships, Peller would occasionally patiently allow enemy sailors to board the lifeboats and politely point out the nearest land direction before attacking. Under his command, the U-35 submarine sank a total of 195 Allied ships, making Peller the most successful submarine captain in history.

The U-35 submarine has a double-hull structure and has good ocean-going and surface navigation performance. The underwater displacement is 878 tons, and the fastest speed is 16.4 knots on the surface and 9.7 knots underwater. When it cruises on the surface at a speed of 8 knots, the range can reach 8790 nautical miles.

The submarine is armed with four torpedo tubes with a diameter of 50 cm and can carry six torpedoes at the same time. The crew on board included 4 officers and 31 sailors.

In November 1914, the U-35 submarine officially entered service with the German Navy, and from March 1915, the U-35 submarine appeared like a black ghost in the ocean, from its service to March 1918, 224 Allied ships were buried under its attack, with a total tonnage of 540,000 tons.

Peyler was not only adept at using torpedoes against enemy attacks, but also had a record of sinking enemy ships with the deck guns of submarines. In November 1915, Peller became captain of the U-35 boat and sank 189 merchant ships with a total tonnage of 440,000 tons in 15 missions in the Mediterranean. Among them, in the 14th deployment of the U-35, in just 25 days, 54 merchant ships were sunk with a total tonnage of 90,000 tons.

On February 26, 1916, the U-35 submarine fired a torpedo and sank the French armed merchant ship "Provence", carrying 1,800 soldiers, killing 990 people. On October 4 of the same year, the French transport ship "Gaul" was sunk, killing more than 1,000 people.

The U-35 submarine sank ships from 13 countries: Britain, France, Norway, Italy, Portugal, Egypt, Tunisia, Denmark, Greece, Spain, Sweden, the United States, and Japan. However, most of them were small players with a displacement of less than 5,000 tons, including small gunboats of less than 100 tons, and there was no record of sinking any of the main warships of the Allied Navy.

Submarines are known as underwater enemy control artifact, military status is not inferior to aircraft carriers, looking at the world, only a few major countries can have the ability to build submarines independently, in view of the submarine itself has very high requirements for the process structure, so only a very small number of military powers in the world can have this ability.

As early as the early 20th century, Germany independently developed submarines of various sizes and specifications, but due to the imminent war and the lack of cutting-edge materials, the manufacturing process was relatively rough, the performance was not strong, especially the noise was too loud, and later became the target of the anti-submarine navy of Britain, the United States and other countries.

Whether the submarine is advanced or not, the core technical index is the noise reduction ability, and the reliability of the submarine noise treatment technology developed by Germany at the beginning of the last century is very poor. Of course, this is not only an embarrassment for Germany, but also for the United Kingdom, the United States and other countries to solve this problem. Now, the unevenness of German industrial manufacturing has been greatly improved, and the manufacturing technology of submarines has also made great breakthroughs, so Eric's research on shipyard noise reduction has also increased funding.

In just a few years, the construction of the German Navy can be described as a success.

Germany's first aircraft carrier was officially launched;

The Z-21 series of large destroyers and frigates have been successfully put into service;

What makes Eric even more excited is that submarine noise reduction technology has made a revolutionary breakthrough in Germany, and at the same time, a lot of high-tech science and technology have been used in the fields of weapons and information and communication on the latest submarines. Eric now has reason to believe that in the context of the changing international environment, perhaps the glory of the German Navy will be rewritten from the beginning.

This time, Eric did not block the news from the outside world, but let the major domestic and foreign media publicly report and widely publicize this important news.
