Kiel, Deutsche Shipyard. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The early morning weather, foggy, and humidity wafting from the North Atlantic made it extremely hazy.

Molotov's heart was on fire, and along the way, his expression was always in a state of excitement, as a mature diplomat, he should be happy and angry, and now, he really can't control his own mood.

Soviets, aircraft carriers are needed, battleships are needed! And now, the Soviet battleships are still early, and the aircraft carriers have already begun to be built!

At this time, standing on the slipway, Molotov watched the electric sparks fly, and his mood continued to be in a state of excitement.

"We, the Deutsche Shipyard, last month, just completed the construction of the slipway of the second ship of the Count Zeppelin class, and now, the third ship, has already started, cutting steel plates. The keel is being laid. The director of the shipyard said to the people.

Shipbuilding is a very complex project, and the ship has a complex shape, which starts from a piece of steel.

The first step in shipbuilding is to cut the steel plates, press them into a definite shape, and then weld them piece by piece, while laying the keel.

"This aircraft carrier was built for the Soviets, and we, Germany, have always kept our promises." "Unfortunately, we haven't received your ore for months. ”

According to the original agreement, the Soviet Union needed to provide about three times as much ore as the ship, after all, Germany also had to process iron ore, and the cost of building the ship was already high.

After the start of the Spanish Civil War, the Soviets did not supply ore in time, and in recent months, the Soviets cut off the supply of iron ore, and now, Shiric's words are full of dissatisfaction.

Of course, Molotov knew what the other party was asking for, and he immediately replied: "Some time ago, our country was going to start construction of battleships, so it was quite nervous, and now, we have lined up the process, and the ore can continue to be supplied to you at the previous speed." ”

Since the Soviet-German friendship agreement has been signed, and the Germans are also building warships for their own side, it is of course time to resume the supply of ore! Molotov himself can decide this.

Ciric nodded, "That's the best, otherwise, we'll have to stop work after we've just built the shell." ”

"General Ciric, since this warship was built for us Soviets, we must send a military representative to supervise the construction of this warship." Molotov continued.

You can't let the Germans play tricks! Molotov, of course, knew that when this warship sailed back to the Soviets, then it could be considered Soviet, and the construction of an aircraft carrier would take several years, so how to safeguard the interests of the Soviets? From the beginning of construction, of course, someone was sent to supervise it!

Moreover, this is also a common practice, even in the Soviet Union, all kinds of military factories, there are military representatives stationed there, so as not to manufacture substandard products in the factories.

"Well, of course." Ciric was also very generous: "However, your military representatives, you can only be here, you can't move around, you know, this is the custom. If there is some espionage incident, it will damage our relationship. ”

The construction of other warships is still being started here for Germany, but the other side cannot be allowed to wander around and spy on secrets.

At the same time, it is also to encircle the Soviets in a small circle, and when it is time to do something to the Soviets, it is just right to control the Soviets completely! What are a few military representatives?

It is best for the Soviets to send some heavyweights, such as that Kuznetsov, although the Red Navy did not establish its authority on the sea, but after going ashore, it was able to kill on land, which was inseparable from Kuznetsov's strict management, and if he was brought here, it would definitely reduce the resistance in the future invasion of the Soviet Union.

At this time, the fog had gradually dissipated, and on the nearby outfitting dock, a larger battleship showed its huge silhouette, and when he saw this battleship, Molotov instantly gasped.

"General Ciric, may I ask? Is that warship your Bismarck? Molotov asked cautiously.

"Yes, this is the battleship named after our iron-blooded chancellor Bismarck, and it will also be the flagship of our Germany." Ciric said.

With the crossing of Ciric, all the preparations for war in Germany were ahead of history.

Relying on a large amount of iron ore obtained from the Soviet Union, relying on a large number of shipwrights from Britain, China and other countries, and relying on a large amount of gold from Spain. The German shipyards, a year earlier than in history, began the construction of the battleship Bismarck!

Historically, Bismarck was launched in 39 and entered service in 40, and now, in February of 38, this battleship has begun the outfitting stage!

The main body of the entire warship is similar to the historical Bismarck class, with a full load displacement of 50,000 tons and first-class seaworthiness, which is very suitable for sailing in the Atlantic.

Germany's craftsmanship makes the quality of this aircraft carrier absolutely first-class, and compared with later aircraft carriers, the biggest change is its main gun.

Historically, the Bismarck battleship was equipped with a 380 mm gun of the SK-C/34 type, with four twin turrets.

In fact, as early as 34 years, the German Navy considered two schemes in the selection of the caliber of the main gun, one is the scheme of using the 406 mm main gun, and the other is the design of the 380 mm main gun.

Among them, the design scheme of the 406 mm gun will be far superior to the 380 mm gun in terms of projectile weight, gun range and power.

Unfortunately, at that time Germany had never made such a large-caliber main gun, and the lack of empirical and technical support was a certain risk. The German Navy eventually adopted a 380 mm gun in pursuit of safety, and the Treaty of Versailles still had an impact on Germany, and after World War I, Germany lost the ability to design and build such large warships.

But now, it is different, and on his first trip to Moscow, Ciric signed an agreement with the Soviets to help the Soviets build cruisers of the same class as the Germans, and at the same time, to help the Soviets make the main guns of the Moskva-class that they need.

Therefore, after the agreement was signed, Krupp carried out research and development, and now, this 406-mm naval gun for the Navy has finally matured! And on the Bismarck, three triple 406-mm naval guns were used!

(Like the previous aircraft carrier, the specific data is placed in the relevant works, saving the reader a lot of words to make up the number of words.) ）
