Chapter 878: Inspecting the Submarine Shipyard
Between countries, there are no eternal friends, no unchanging enemies, only absolute interests, and the foreign policy of the state needs to satisfy its own interests.
Europe is already dangerous for the United States. The American leader, who does not want to be the world leader, is incompetent, but now that the position of the world leader is gradually being occupied by Germany, the United States must disintegrate and divide Europe.
Ireland is a breakthrough.
The United States has made many promises to Ireland, in trade, industry, and so on, and in all aspects, it has tempted Ireland in the hope that Ireland can come together with the United States.
From Ireland's point of view, however, the interest of defecting to Germany is greater than that of the United States.
Therefore, Emmon finally agreed to Germany's conditions, at this time, by Ciric revealed his old bottom, Eamon's face immediately turned red, fortunately, Ciric did not entangle: "Ireland's industrial base, is still good, I think, we can also cooperate in industry, we have some projects, in the domestic factory can not be carried out immediately, can be arranged to Ireland." ”
Germany's spread is too big, especially now, after conquering Europe, it will definitely start with the Soviet Union, and if you want to defeat the behemoth of the Soviet Union, you must make adequate preparations.
By handing over some orders to Ireland, Ireland will increase its income and make it easier to consolidate its alliances.
Sure enough, Ammon was very happy to reply, "We are willing to serve." ”
The visit of the Prime Minister of Ireland was really effective, a lot of progress has been made between the two countries, and when Eamond left, a lot of economic cooperation framework agreements were signed at the same time, once these projects are implemented, Ireland in the next few years, the factory will not have to worry about the problem of orders, more employment opportunities, will make Ireland develop better.
After sending off Prime Minister Eamon, Ciric still has a lot to do, for example, his trip has come to the Hamburg shipyard.
It was an established shipyard that had been building ships for Germany since the last century, and during the First World War, it expanded rapidly, building a large number of warships.
And now, this shipyard, is the main German submarine shipyard.
It used to be an open-air shipyard, but now, it is covered by a huge shed, which can prevent aerial surveillance, and in the shed, on each station, there are people busy, sparks flying, to complete the construction of submarines.
Dönitz, the head of the German submarine forces, accompanied Ciric on the inspection.
"With the needs of our war at sea, our submarines will need a larger displacement, so what we are building now are XXI types with a displacement of nearly two thousand tons." Dönitz was quite proud.
Before the war, their submarines were still submarine forces near the shore, with a displacement of only a few hundred tons, at most they entered the Mediterranean, but now, their submarines have been rapidly developed, with a displacement of 2,000 tons, which is already quite a huge submarine!
Ciric nodded: "The empire must not only develop surface ship forces, but also develop underwater submarine forces simultaneously, and the two can cooperate with each other to achieve victory on the ocean." ”
Now, German submarines have dived into the Pacific Ocean to ambush American merchant ships there, such a distance that only large submarines can do, and Dönitz hopes to send more submarines over to expand the results of submarine warfare, so that the Führer can trust submarines more.
"Führer Ciric, I think that our submarine force can have greater results." Now, taking advantage of Ciric's good mood, he spoke his thoughts very carefully.
Hearing Dönitz's words, Ciric stopped: "Dönitz, you must know that submarines are just a weapon, and the entire naval war is a war of systems, if we only use submarines, then, once the opponent's anti-submarine power increases, it will be easy to crush our submarine warfare, and under the encirclement and suppression of surface forces, submarines have no hope of survival." ”
After Ciric's words were finished, Dönitz's eyes dimmed, and Ciric certainly knew what he was thinking, so he patted him on the shoulder: "Dörnitz, you are an excellent admiral, and you must look at the problem with a long-term vision." ”
Historically, Dönitz was really happy and invested the main navy of the empire to build submarines, but how did it end? After the Allies increased their anti-submarine forces, the wolf pack tactics at sea were quickly crushed.
Submarines, you can't be the main force, otherwise it's very sad.
As they spoke, the group had come to the bottom of a larger shed, guarded by heavily armed SS soldiers outside, and inside, an even larger submarine was being built.
"Führer Ciric, this is our latest experimental submarine, for the sake of secrecy, this submarine, we call it XXI Improved, but, in fact, it is completely different from the previous one, its power system, no longer a diesel-electric system, but a nuclear power system, is our latest development."
Ciric came to the shipyard this time to see this big guy, as a person who has traveled from the afterlife, of course Ciric knows what it means to be a nuclear-powered submarine.
On the slipway, the length of this submarine is almost twice as long as before! As for the displacement, it has been sharply enlarged to six thousand tons!
You know, six thousand tons, which is already the displacement of a destroyer, and this is the largest submarine built in Germany and at the same time in the world!
At this time, the hull was just being welded, and this was the initial stage of the project, where the individual compartments of the submarine were built in sections, and then docked.
"We have dispatched the best welders from all over the shipyard, not only with excellent skills, but also with perfect ideas." Dönitz said: "At the same time, Krupp also gave us the latest development of steel, this submarine, when we designed, we need to reach a depth of 300 meters, once this experimental submarine, complete all the experimental plans, we will start to build this latest nuclear submarine, is expected to build the first batch of ten." ”
Just by issuing euros, the empire can gather a large amount of wealth, and this wealth is enough for the empire to spend all kinds of military spending, such as now, this kind of submarine, when the budget is calculated, Dönitz was taken aback, for fear that Ciric would not approve it, as a result, Ciric waved his pen and built this experimental one first, and when the experiment was no problem, he built ten ships in batches at a time!
