Chapter 146: Looks Okay

"The standard row is 31,400 tons, the full row is 38,000 tons, the length is 239 meters, the width is 29.2 meters, the draft is 9.1 meters, the rated power of the main engine is 150,000 horsepower, and it is no problem to reach 165,000 horsepower in a short period of time under the limit situation."

"Four-axle propulsion, design speed 31.5 knots, range 7,500 nautical miles / 15 knots, equipped with six 460 kilowatt turbo turbine generators and two 150 kilowatt diesel engine generators."

"Compared with the battleship drawings provided to the Soviet Union, we also further raised the freeboard of the battleship Peter the Great to avoid the embarrassing phenomenon of the waterline being too low and waves on the foredeck."

Speaking of the battleship named Peter the Great, Reinhardt was particularly excited on the surface. In his mouth, this was simply the result of his tireless struggle for his Soviet friends, and it was the first warship that he had built under the agreement by squeezing out the productive forces of the navy.

Compared to the other two battleships to be delivered to the Soviet Union under the agreement, the Peter the Great was relatively small in tonnage and was the first to be completed. If it weren't for the fact that the Soviet Union was now counting on Germany to attack Poland, Reinhardt really didn't want to take it out and hand it over to the Soviet Union right now.

Although the battleship was almost completed two years ago, the final launching steps were delayed in order to be used for today's play.

"Mr. Warrewski, I invite you to Germany to see the launching of the Peter the Great the day after tomorrow." Reinhardt said happily.

"Only in the water the day after tomorrow?!" Valentski asked, a little incredulous.

In his opinion, the Germans should have built the battleship a long time ago, but they just relied on not delivering it to the Soviet Union. But according to the current situation, it seems that there is a little bit of deviation from his original conjecture.

"Of course!" Reinhardt laughed heartily: "There are not many shipbuilders in Germany, and there are also three modern battleships for the Soviet Union at the same time, and the progress will definitely not be fast." If it weren't for the fact that Peter the Great had a rather small tonnage, it would not have been completed first. โ€

patted Wallevsky on the shoulder cordially, and Reinhardt then swore and patted his chest and swore an oath: "But don't worry, this thing is slow, but in terms of quality, we will never cut corners, after all, slow work makes fine work." In less than two years, I promise that the remaining two high-quality battleships will also be delivered to you. โ€

What is greatness, this is greatness. Why can't the Germans make faster, isn't it because of their pursuit of quality? In the face of the doubts of the Soviet side, it firmly fulfilled the quality check. This. It is really in line with the rigorous, serious, objective and honest attitude of the Germans!

Thinking of his previous groundless doubts about the German Fรผhrer, Warevsky, who had been mixed in the Soviet political circles all the year round, was still a little embarrassed, and had the illusion that he was living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

"Come on, I'll tell you how good the Peter the Great is that I brought you back this time." Reinhardt graciously grabbed Warrewski and walked all the way into the reception room of the airport.

In the reception room, Reinhardt proudly introduced through several local schematic diagrams hung on the wall in advance: "Considering that the 11-inch guns used by Germany themselves are estimated to be disliked by the Soviet side of the small caliber, I made a special order to take out the 305-inch L50 guns in the 12-inch L50 plan of the German Navy, and adopt the main gun layout of the 3x3 layout. Moreover, the fire control of the main gun adopts our 10-meter baseline optical rangefinder from Zeiss in Germany, which can further ensure the accuracy. โ€

"As for the secondary guns, they were equipped with four twin 150 and twin 105 four. In addition, a large number of 37mm anti-aircraft guns were placed specifically to defend against sneak attacks by enemy torpedo boats. For example, in the Russo-Japanese naval war that year, the Japanese Navy used torpedo boats to slay people. โ€

Reinhardt's acting skills are not exquisite, with a righteous and awe-inspiring face, he found all the historical black spots for the Soviet Navy, and also helped to attach countermeasures. But in fact, this bastard's heart is simply extremely hurtful.

The 37 mm defense run, nicknamed the "37 Hand Machine", was the "garbage" of a large number of warships of the German Navy in the original history. In World War II, when warships of all countries pursued automation, this thing was actually manually loaded with a single shot, with a rate of fire of 3-4 seconds per round, and a special person should hang a nursery bag next to it to put more than a dozen shells when shooting.

Before Raeder was brain-dead and put it on the German Navy, the quick-witted Reinhardt hurriedly loaded it all into the first battleship for the Soviet Union. This group of garbage, which has no firepower to speak of, or waste recycling, should be given to Soviet friends. However, if anyone dares to produce in the future, the Gestapo will not be polite, and will directly invest in the "Production Labor Corps" to labor reform for 100 years.

Of course, Reinhardt's mental activity Warrewski was invisible. In the eyes of this layman, who was appointed by Stalin as a member of the General Military Committee of the Soviet Navy and director of the Navy's Political Propaganda Department, the help given by the Germans was all too appropriate. For this head of state, who is the head of the Tao, Valentsky is even more admired from the bottom of his heart.

After that, Reinhardt professionally introduced the layout of the comprehensive protective dome armor of the battleship Peter the Great.

The vertical main armor is 12 inches 305mm, the upper armor of the main armor is 50mm, the horizontal section of the dome armor is 80mm, the inclined section is 110mm, the horizontal armor is divided into two layers, the first layer is 35mm, the second layer is 60mm, the conning tower armor is 350mm, the turret armor is 15 inches 380mm, the sides are 200mm, and the top is 150mm. A layout that looks beautiful, but actually weakens air defense.

The self-proclaimed Reinhardt also fooled that Peter the Great had abandoned the layout of the traditional German turret design and adopted an Italian turret design with better protection.

The 150 turret secondary gun has 120mm armor on the front, and the 105 gun has a semi-open layout, with only 80-100mm gun shields (this shield limits the elevation angle of the barrel, which is only 30 degrees, that is, it cannot be in the air).

In terms of power system, Peter the Great seems to have a more conscientious use of the Italian power system. Because the Hipper-class heavy cruiser in Germany in 1935 was still using a 55-horsepower one-ton power unit, the Italian construction of the same type in 1928 could easily reach the level of 78 horsepower a ton, so such an improvement is actually quite reasonable.

In order to get the power system of the Italian Navy, Reinhardt even used the second person in Italy, Deputy Prime Minister Rossi, who was inserted by the Gasesot security. Without Mussolini's knowledge, he took a bribe of $5 million and finally got this power system that was better than that of the German Navy.

Of course, this is not all for the power system that the Soviet Union brought in. In general, it is still to prepare for the integration of this power system into Germany's own excellent high-pressure, high-temperature and high-cycle boilers. As for other aspects, the German navy, which had been more or less suppressed by the Treaty of Versailles for so many years, could only rely on the technology of Italy, the victor of World War I.

In addition, what remains of the Peter the Great is that the hull was built using the welding process and the design of the hull structure into the armor.

While the newly improved welding process in Germany saves a lot of structural weight, the fused armor also plays a bulletproof role of 1 plus 1 greater than 2, ensuring the basic structural strength of the ship.

Welding technology has developed greatly in 36 years, and the historical Bismarck battleship was welded, and its hull structure accounted for the lowest proportion of total tonnage at that time.

As for the method of integrating armor into the hull structure, it was invented by Hiraga Jean, the famous "god of shipbuilding" in Japan, and is now taught to the German shipbuilding department by Reinhardt through conceptual guidance.
