Chapter 599: Restart the submarine dark war
Due to the complete blockade of the German Empire by the Chinese Empire, politically, the Chinese Empire formed factions and formed alliances with its European friends, that is, it did not bring Germany to play with it. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Militarily, the German Empire was completely encircled, and the strength of the Chinese Empire's Shence Army frightened other European partners into not daring to establish military relations with Germany.
Economically, the Chinese Empire was the only super-economic power after the World War, monopolizing 70% of the world's gold and 50% of silver, resulting in a lack of gold and silver in other countries for international trade settlement, making it difficult to conduct international trade.
Any country with a bit of a brain needs to do business with the Chinese Empire, because only the Chinese Empire has a sufficient amount of gold and silver for international trade settlements.
However, in order to blockade the German Empire economically, the Chinese Empire banned the outflow of gold and silver, which directly choked the international trade lifeline of all countries in the world.
So the Chinese Empire said it, stipulating that the renminbi is the only international trade settlement currency in the world, and the renminbi is directly linked to gold, and the currencies of other countries are pegged to the renminbi.
As a result, without the renminbi, no country could conduct large-scale international trade, and in order to obtain the share of offshore currency settlement in the renminbi, all countries would have to isolate the German Empire economically.
Therefore, today's German Empire is isolated from the world, and the volume of international trade is very small, so it can only rely on the gold and silver produced by the German Empire to secretly take it to the international market and avoid the monitoring of the Chinese Empire for trade.
When Hitler said that a Seawolf-class submarine had spent 10 million yuan in foreign exchange reserves, Wilhelm II was of course so angry that he vomited blood.
However, Hitra was a good talker, especially at making Wilhelm II happy, and quickly dispelled his concerns.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, although we spent 10 million yuan in foreign exchange reserves for the first Seawolf-class submarine, we came back with technology and equipment, and the next mass-produced models will not need foreign exchange."
Wilhelm II nodded and said, "Okay, I won't blame you this time, but the empire's foreign exchange reserves are limited, so you must save some money." ”
"Also, the matter of the Seawolf submarine must be kept strictly secret, if it is known by the Chinese Empire, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Hitra smiled and said: "Don't worry, my esteemed majesty, I also know that the intelligence agencies of the Chinese Empire are very powerful, so this time the plan about the Seawolf submarine and even the entire ghost is completely carried out under closed conditions, and the Chinese Empire will never know about it." ”
Wilhelm II was always a little worried, but he had no choice, now that the Seawolf had sunk two ships of the Chinese Empire, the case had been settled, and it was impossible to redeem it, so he could only be sure that the Seawolf could defeat the Imperial Chinese Navy.
There is still some vague expectation, if the Seawolf is really as powerful as Hitra said, then the German Empire will have the capital and confidence to confront the Chinese Empire.
"As for the secret construction of the Seawolf-class submarine, I will leave it to you to deal with it all!"
Hearing that Wilhelm II was relieved, Hitra hurriedly thanked him, and his heart blossomed with joy.
Hitra is not without selfishness, he needs a lot of money to cultivate his own power, this ghost plan is ostensibly for the German Empire, but in fact it is a means used by Hittra to collect money.
Of course, it is impossible for a Seawolf-class submarine to cost 10 million yuan, and a large part of this money was actually embezzled by Hitla.
Now that Wilhelm II has given the entire Seawolf-class submarine construction task to Hitla, it is even more important for Hitra to embezzle funds and develop his own business.
"Your Majesty, in addition to the Navy, we are ostensibly developing battleships and secretly developing advanced Seawolf-class submarines, and on the army side, our Tiger tank has also completed the test work of the prototype. The new Tiger tank is absolutely complete to the T25 tank of the Chinese Empire, this is the relevant research and development and progress report, please take a look. ”
Hitler handed a report on the development and progress of the Tiger tank to Wilhelm II, who nodded with great satisfaction after reading it.
"Yes, look at the performance parameters of this Tiger tank, it is true that the T25 has been completely exploded, and it should be put into production as soon as possible, the biggest threat to our German Empire is still from the land, once the steel torrent of the Chinese Empire invades, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Wilhelm II said anxiously that as an emperor, he was always facing complex international pressures, and it was difficult to ensure the survival of the German Empire if he did not take precautions.
Hitra said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, we have already started production, because for the sake of secrecy, there is only one production line, but I will open more production lines as soon as possible, but the financial aspect is ......"
You need money for everything, especially in a situation like the German Empire today, where finances are tight.
Wilhelm II thought for a moment and said, "In any case, the military pressure of the Chinese Empire on our empire is too great, and we have to prioritize military expenditures. ”
Hitra sighed: "Although the life of the people is very hard, we have no choice. ”
Wilhelm II praised: "It is rare that you still have to worry about the lives of the people, so that I can more confidently entrust you with this project that is related to the life and death of the empire." As for the financial side, I'll figure it out for you. ”
Hitra hurriedly thanked, and his heart was even more proud, as long as he had more projects in his hands, the more funds he had, and the easier it would be to form his own forces.
"Your Majesty, our army has also introduced the rocket launcher technology of the Bulvik Revolutionary Army. I'm sure you've heard that the revolutionary army of Liening was able to quickly defeat the defenders of St. Petersburg and capture the Tsar, thanks to the equipment of the rocket launcher, and the tanks and fortifications were completely vulnerable to this thing. ”
Wilhelm II nodded and agreed: "You are quite right! The strength of the Chinese Empire's Shence Army was often due to the fact that they were invincible due to their strong fortress fortifications, coupled with advanced tanks, which made them invincible. Without these two things, we in the Imperial German Army could have fought against them by infantry guns alone. Since the Russian bazooka can effectively destroy the T25 tank, then it is right for us to bring it back, to produce it in large quantities and quickly equip our soldiers. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, I have ordered the relevant departments to start large-scale improvement and production of bazookas, I believe that if the steel torrent of the Chinese Empire dares to come, they will definitely be able to return."
The two of them immediately laughed, and their minds were crooked images of German Army soldiers holding rows of bazookas, beating and brutally beating the tank units of the Imperial Chinese Army.
Both Wilhelm II and Hitler seem to have gotten carried away, and although they had Tiger tanks and bazookas, they were only targeting the T25 tanks of the Chinese Empire.
This T25 tank is already a product of a few years ago, and the Chinese Empire is based on the standards of design, research and development, production, and elimination. The T25 tank was a product of a few years ago, so there must be more advanced products being developed and being produced.
The Imperial Chinese Army has always had a habit of playing with killer weapons, and killer weapons are just like the ghost plan that Wilhelm II and Hitler are engaged in, and it is impossible to expose them.
Wilhelm II ignored this, but Hitra did not, he was well aware of the current situation and future direction of the development of weapons and equipment in the Chinese Empire, but he was not picky, he knew that if everything was taken out, then when Wilhelm II felt that he was useless, he would mercilessly abandon himself and kill himself alive.
Hitra is very shrewd, of course he knows what it means to be a trickle of water, so many more powerful weapons and equipment concepts, Hitra, like Li Weiguo, hold them in his hands, and he will not easily take them out until he has to.
The Tiger tank and the Seawolf submarine were all taken out by Hitra to appease Wilhelm II and the German military, and the real purpose was to collect money for himself.
After being happy, Wilhelm II asked: "Didn't you say that the army, navy, and air force all had good results?" So what news is the Air Force? ”
Hitler replied: "Your Majesty, the minister has built a secret wind tunnel laboratory, and the test of the new fighter will begin soon. ”
"Wind tunnel? What's that? What's the use? ”
Kaiser Wilhelm II expressed his incomprehension of such a novelty as the wind tunnel.
It was only under Hitla's explanation that he understood.
"It's no wonder that the Chinese Empire has developed so rapidly in terms of aircraft, it turns out that they have already built a wind tunnel test base."
Wilhelm II couldn't help but sigh, he thought that during the world war, the Chinese Empire dispatched a powerful air force, which became the last straw that crushed the United States.
At that time, all countries in the world were thrown out of the Chinese Empire in terms of aircraft, because the world knew too little about aerodynamics, and it took too long to develop an aircraft, while the Chinese Empire could use the wind tunnel to conduct aerodynamic tests on various aircraft models, and soon know whether the tested aircraft met the operational needs, so as to quickly mass produce and put it into the battlefield.
"Hey, why is the Chinese Empire always ahead of us, thinking about things we can't think of, and doing things we can't do."
Hearing Wilhelm II's sigh, Hitra smiled and said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the lead of the Chinese Empire is only temporary, and it won't be long before our German Empire will defeat them." ”
Regardless of whether Wilhelm II understood it or not, it was Hitra who said it to himself, and he was full of confidence in defeating the Chinese Empire, but he never knew that even if Sun Monkey had monstrous skills, he would not be able to escape Li Weiguo's Five Finger Mountain.
At the same time that Hittra was engaged in black technology for the German Empire, the Chinese Empire in the far east was also boiling.
Recently, public opinion in the Chinese Empire has been full of protests, accusing the Imperial Navy of being incompetent, and the pirate murderer has not been caught for so long.
This pirate murderer is worthy of being the murderer who blew up and sank two cruise ships of the Chinese Empire in succession in the past month.
Public opinion in the Chinese Empire, and even public opinion around the world, thought that it was pirates who attacked these two cruise ships of the Chinese Empire.
In fact, this was nothing more than the Imperial Chinese Navy concealing the truth of the incident and deliberately announcing that the two cruise ships had been attacked by pirates.
This is because the Imperial Chinese Navy has already found out that the murderer who attacked the two cruise ships is a mysterious submarine, and it is obvious that it can have submarines, but it is definitely not the work of pirates, because in the various seas of the world under the rule of the Chinese Empire, although there are countless pirates, they are almost the same as Somali pirates, and they are not capable of owning submarines.
Then the question also arises, since this mysterious submarine is not a pirate, it must be owned by the navy of a certain country.
The countries that dare to call out the Chinese Imperial Navy, I am afraid that there is no other country on this earth except the German Empire.
But the problem is that even if the Imperial Chinese Navy guessed that it might be the work of the German Imperial Navy, it hunted and killed the mysterious submarine several times, but found nothing, and even just an hour ago, an anti-submarine destroyer was attacked by the mysterious submarine while escorting and sank.
This incident shocked the Chinese Imperial military, but it was not announced to the public for the time being.
For this reason, Li Weiguo convened an emergency imperial meeting in Chang'an, Xijing, to discuss the matter.
"This must have been done by the German Navy!"
"That's right! There could not be any other country in this world other than the German Empire that had the guts to send submarines to attack our merchant ships and warships! ”
"This is a war provocation, and if they dare to sink our warships, it is tantamount to declaring war on us!"
The military ministers almost unanimously agreed that it was the Imperial German Navy that had done it, and demanded that the German Empire go to war.
However, the civil servants had mixed reactions, and most of them were relatively calm.
"What is the evidence that the submarines of the Imperial German Navy sank our merchant ships and warships?"
"Yes! What about the evidence? War without evidence? It would not be in the interests of the empire to go to war with a very powerful country. ”
"If it was really the Imperial German Navy that did it, then what will we do now after we declare war on them? We can't detect the submarines of the Germans, hundreds of warships searched for a month and did not find anyone, but they sank an anti-submarine destroyer, this is still a submarine, if the German Navy has hundreds of such submarines, what do you use to fight people? It would be foolish to make a rash move without knowing the strength of the other party. ”
Fu Xuexian's last sentence was said to Zhang Xiaoliu, a few days ago the two had a big quarrel in front of Li Weiguo over whether to send troops to Russia, and now Fu Xuexian seized the opportunity and buried Zhang Xiaoliu again.
Zhang Xiaoliu could only barely cope: "Germany is desperately poor now, how can there be hundreds of such submarines?" What if they have a few hundred submarines? All we need to do is smash the German navy's nest and destroy them. ”
"Enough! Let you think of countermeasures, not let you quarrel! ”
At the critical moment, Li Weiguo was furious, and he was also very unhappy, which was equivalent to being slapped in the face by the German Empire, and he had to find a way back.
"Wei Han, what do you think?"
Named by Li Weiguo, Wei Han then came out and said: "Back to Your Majesty, I think that this submarine can evade the anti-submarine sonar search of the Imperial Navy, and it must be equipped with a very advanced noise reduction device. Hundreds of warships of the Imperial Navy blocked the waters around the incident area, and the search did not see it surface for several days for ventilation, which proved that this submarine had a very strong submersible ability, which was enough to support it to pull out of the encirclement of the Imperial Navy. ”
Wei Han is presiding over the development of the next generation of surface warships and underwater submarines of the Imperial Chinese Navy, and has actually begun to study related technologies such as submersible time and noise reduction, and has also achieved certain results, so he will judge the approximate performance of the mysterious submarine.
Li Weiguo sighed and said, "So our sonar detection system is too backward?" ”
Wei Han explained: "It is not necessarily that the sonar system is backward, after all, the core component of sonar detection is electronic transistor technology, and at present, the whole world, the empire's technology in this regard is the highest, even the German empire cannot surpass us so quickly." However, it is possible to reduce the noise of submarines and increase the diving time, after all, muzzle mufflers have appeared, and it is not difficult for the Germans to do it if they want to study it. ”
Li Weiguo asked: "Do you mean that even the Germans themselves will find it difficult to detect their mysterious submarine?" ”
"That's right!" Wei Han nodded and replied, "If it's just noise reduction and increased submarine, we can do it now." ”
Li Weiguo suddenly smiled and said: "I understand, isn't it just hurting each other!" Since the Germans dare to do the first year of junior high school, then don't blame us for doing the fifteenth! ”
Zhang Xiaoliu suddenly said excitedly: "Your Majesty is wise! ”
Fu Xuexian hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you don't plan to start a war with Germany, do you?" ”
Li Weiguo shook his head and said, "It's not a war with Germany, but to continue the unspoken rules about the underwater world between the Allies and the Entente in the past!" ”
At that time, the Allies and the Entente confronted each other, and on the surface there was no war, but in fact, in the dark world under the sea, it was a fierce secret battle between the submarines of both sides.
In the past, the Chinese Empire had the upper hand in submarine warfare, which deflated the entire Entente.
For a long time after the World War, no one in the Imperial Chinese Navy dared to provoke, and this undersea submarine secret war disappeared.
Now Li Weiguo's intention is very clear, to restart the submarine dark war and retaliate against the German Imperial Navy. (To be continued.) )
