In Berlin, Germany, Kaiser Wilhelm II, who had just gone out on vacation, hurried back after hearing the news of the successful Red Revolution in Russia in January and the occupation of St. Petersburg. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Although Wilhelm II had long been mentally prepared for the imminent revolution in Russia, he was not very convinced of the success of Liening at the beginning, and if it were not for Hittra's persistent persuasion, I am afraid that he would not have agreed to provide Liening with financial and weapon support.

As a result, the more impossible things happened, which made Wilhelm II feel very sour.

In particular, it was even more pleasing to learn that Liening had reached an agreement with the nobles of the Russian Duma to depose Nicholas II, because he and Nicholas II had been fighting for a long time, and with the deposition of Nicholas II, it showed that Wilhelm II had won the final victory.

However, the deposition of Nicholas II made Wilhelm II feel uneasy.

Across Europe, with the end of the world wars, much of the European imperial power disappeared and was replaced by a bourgeois republic. The abolition of Nicholas II gave Wilhelm II a sense of urgency that one day he would be deposed as the emperor of the German Empire.

Although a sense of crisis arose, when Wilhelm II thought that the Chinese Empire was also an empire, and that it was the most powerful empire in the world, he felt a sense of security.

But every time he thought about the Chinese Empire, Wilhelm II would be in a terrible mood.

"Your Majesty, this is a good opportunity for the Empire, as long as the Chinese Empire does not recognize Liening as the ruler of Russia, then it will inevitably use force against Russia, and then the entire European countries will be afraid. This is the perfect time for the empire to break through the blockade of the Chinese empire and integrate the forces of the European countries! ”

Hitra said excitedly to Wilhelm II.

Wilhelm II snorted coldly: "With a small Liening and a messy Russia, the Chinese Empire will be destroyed in minutes, where will we have the chance?" ”

Hitra stepped forward and explained: "Your Majesty, we wish that the Chinese Empire would attack Russia, and then the whole of Europe would be afraid. When the time comes, we will lobby the countries to let them know that the Chinese Empire is the greatest enemy of the Europeans, and they will surely believe that if they finally unite around the German Empire, Your Majesty you will lead the whole of Europe against the Chinese Empire and become the savior of Europe. ”

"There's a little truth to what you're saying!" Wilhelm II actually agreed with Hitla's idea very much, but he deliberately pretended to be very calm.

"But have you thought about it, the Chinese Empire is too powerful, once it invades Russia militarily, it can't be stopped by Russia's strength. At that time, if the German Empire stands up to support Russia, it will certainly be recognized by the rest of Europe, but this will detonate a full-scale war between the German Empire and the Chinese Empire, do you have a way to defeat the Chinese Empire? ”

Wilhelm II is very realistic, since the last English Channel incident, the German Empire suffered a dumb loss, and he did not dare to speak out, which made Wilhelm II still have lingering palpitations, he did not dare to imagine what the result would be like once a war with the Chinese Empire.

You must know that in the eyes of Wilhelm II, there is an 80% chance that the German Empire will be defeated in a war with the Chinese Empire, and once defeated, it means that Wilhelm II's throne is not guaranteed.

Therefore, Wilhelm II would never easily go to war with the Chinese Empire until the last resort, and for the sake of his current rights, he had to be patient, although he wanted to go to Li Weiguo immediately to fight.

Hitra always seemed to know Wilhelm II's thoughts, and he smiled and said, "Your Majesty, now we don't have to fear the Chinese Empire, whether it is the navy, the army, or even the air force. ”

Wilhelm II was surprised: "Oh, how did I not know that our army has become so powerful? ”

Hitra explained: "Your Majesty, with your trust, Wechen doesn't dare to be lazy, in the past year, Wechen has successively added a new weapon to the Imperial Navy, the Imperial Army, and the Imperial Air Force!" ”

Wilhelm II seemed to have heard Hittra mention it, so he asked, "You mean the ghost project succeeded?" ”

Hitra smiled mysteriously and replied, "Once the ghost plan is completed, the empire will be as comfortable as a dog in abusing the Chinese empire in the future." However, only the first phase of the Ghost Project has been completed, but it has already paid off. ”

The ghost plan is a set of plans painstakingly formulated by Hitra in order to completely win the trust of Wilhelm II, so that Wilhelm II will not dare to kill him easily.

Of course, this plan was aimed at the Chinese Empire, including how to defeat the Chinese Empire's Shence Army and completely defeat the entire national defense forces of the Chinese Empire from the three aspects of land, sea and air.

As for Hitler's selfishness, he was forced to have no choice but to let Wilhelm II see his great use value, so that Wilhelm II would not have murderous intentions towards Hitla, and even if he had murderous intentions, he would wait until Hitra completely completed the ghost plan, and at that time, according to Hitler's estimation of himself, he already had the strength to resist Wilhelm II.

At this time, hearing that the first stage of the ghost project had been completed, Wilhelm II suddenly became excited.

"Let's talk about it, how to abuse the Chinese Empire's Shence Army like a dog!"

Hitra then took out a secret document and gave it to Wilhelm II, while he himself explained it to him.

"Your Majesty, since the last English Channel incident, the German Imperial High Seas Fleet has become the laughing stock of the whole world, and the Chinese Imperial Navy has bullied us, and that history of humiliation has made the minister prepare naval weapons for the first time."

Pointing to a picture of a submarine, Hitra continued: "This is a Seawolf-class submarine designed by Wechen, her perfect raindrop shape, like a fish swimming when sailing underwater, and the Empire's improved Parsons diesel-electric turbocharged hybrid system can allow her huge body to propel at high speed at twenty knots under the sea. ”

"Twenty knots underwater?" Wilhelm II looked at the submarine, codenamed Seawolf, and was amazed at the displacement on it.

With a surface displacement of 4,950 tons and an underwater displacement of 5,400 tons, such a huge submarine can move at a high speed of 20 knots underwater, which instantly subverts Wilhelm II's perception of the existing submarines of all countries in the world, and even the most advanced submarine of the Chinese Empire may not be able to do it.

"Your Majesty, please listen to me explain to you slowly."

What Hitra wanted was the look of surprise from Wilhelm II, otherwise his efforts would not have been in vain.

Next, Hitler explained the performance and main equipment combat effectiveness of this Seawolf-class submarine to Wilhelm II one by one.

In order to confront the Chinese Empire, Hitler had to come up with some high-tech design concepts in advance, otherwise it would be difficult to catch up with and surpass the Chinese Empire in terms of armament.

Therefore, the design of the advanced teardrop-shaped submarine was the first step of Hitla, which greatly reduced the underwater resistance of the Seawolf-class submarine, dismantled the submarine artillery, and achieved the high underwater speed of the wave submarine.

The second step is to let the wave-class submarine carry a large number of batteries, which prolongs the underwater diving time of the submarine, the principle of high-power lead-acid battery is Hitra told the German battery experts to set up a separate project for research, and soon completed the development and equipment to the Seawolf submarine, making the Seawolf-class submarine achieve a breakthrough of 72 hours of underwater diving time for the first time.

In view of the fact that German submarines often surfaced to recharge submarines, only to be discovered by the enemy and sunk, Hitler took out the most advanced snorkel retraction technology he knew, and improved it by special experts, so that the Seawolf submarine could be charged without surfacing and reducing the chance of being discovered by the enemy.

Originally, Hitra planned to use an electric ayon-based reloading device similar to that of the Imperial Chinese submarine, but considering the preciousness of electrical energy, he finally changed to a mechanical aperium reloading device, and optimized the ayu-lei installation equipment, so that the reloading speed was much faster than the previous model.

Since the Imperial Chinese Navy was equipped with sonar systems, Hitler knew that if German submarines wanted to survive, they had to be equipped with equally advanced sonar and underwater listening devices. Hitra proposed a reliable sonar algorithm that allowed the Seawolf-class submarine to rely on a listening device to launch torpedoes underwater and accurately hit targets.

However, in order to avoid the anti-submarine destroyers of the Imperial Chinese Navy, Hitra specially installed a large number of soundproofing and sound-absorbing tiles on a Seawolf-class submarine, and the soundproofing devices were mainly concentrated in the engine room and propellers, which greatly reduced the noise of the engine and the sound of the propeller rotating. Acoustic tiles, which are expensive shark skins and essential oils, and special sound-absorbing sponges are installed throughout the exterior of the submarine, which envelop the submarine hull and make it much less noisy, almost close to the noise level of the ocean itself.

With the current sonar detection technology in the world, because the electronic components are still relatively backward, even the sonar device of the Chinese Empire is difficult to find the accurate location of the Seawolf-class submarine.

In terms of armament, Hittra canceled the original German submarine tail ray launcher and changed all of them to bow ray launch tubes, with a number of 6 torpedoes and a total of 48 torpedoes.

Due to the huge displacement of 5,400 tons, the Seawolf-class submarines could carry a large amount of diesel fuel and supplies, send the German Navy to the depths of the Atlantic, and even dive to the Pacific Ocean, threatening the imperial garden of the Chinese Imperial Navy.

"Your Majesty, a month ago, the Seawolf set off into the depths of the North Atlantic. As of yesterday, the Seawolf had sent back a telegram indicating that they had sunk two ships of the Chinese Empire. ”

Hitra said with a smug face, he was very happy to sink the steamer of the Chinese Empire, and he felt a sense of accomplishment in flogging (biantai).

However, when Wilhelm II heard this, he was furious.

"Are you crazy? How dare you attack the ships of the Chinese Empire? Who gave you the right to do this? ”

Seeing that Wilhelm II was angry, Hitra was also startled and secretly scolded himself for getting carried away, so he hurriedly apologized.

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger, it's all Weichen who makes decisions without permission. However, Weichen is also for the Imperial Navy, because this is the last sea trial subject of the Seawolf-class submarine, if it can't escape the encirclement and pursuit of the Chinese Imperial Navy, then it is a failed product. ”

Kaiser Wilhelm II said angrily: "Even if it is a test, there is no need to test the steamer of the Chinese Empire, just find a ship of a small country, or even our country's own ship, and try it." You go to provoke the Chinese Empire, what if the matter is exposed? What if the Chinese Empire uses this excuse to declare war on us at that time? Is it to use your head to block the shells fired by the Chinese Empire at Berlin? ”

Hitra explained: "Your Majesty, please listen to me! None of the parts of the Seawolf were made in the German Empire, and all of them were dead soldiers, and they set out with the intention of dying once the matter was exposed. Therefore, once the sea trial fails, the Seawolf will sink by itself and will never leak, please rest assured, Your Majesty. But so far, the submarine Seawolf has sunk two ships of the Chinese Empire, and the Chinese Empire has sent a fleet to investigate the matter, and they have not discovered the existence of the Seawolf, which shows that we have succeeded. ”

"Humph! It's just a fluke! ”

Although Wilhelm II blamed Hitla, he was still happy in his heart, and what a refreshing pleasure of revenge it was to secretly sink two ships of the Chinese Empire without being discovered!

"Let the Seawolf be careful, since the sea trial has been successful, let's hurry back! Once we have hundreds of such submarines, we can launch unlimited submarine warfare against the Chinese Empire, and the world's seas are all our German Empire's! ”

Seeing Wilhelm II so confident, Hitra suddenly stopped talking.

Wilhelm II asked, "What's wrong?" Am I not right?"

Hitra smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, a few hundred are still counted, the current cost of Seawolf-class submarines is very high, and it is not suitable for mass production!" ”

Wilhelm II frowned and said, "It's just a submarine, how tall can it be?" The displacement of 5,400 tons is, at most, the cost of an armored cruiser, which is still acceptable to the imperial finances. ”

Hitra shook his head and said, "My Majesty, the cost of a Seawolf-class submarine is much higher than that of an armored cruiser of the same displacement, and the current cost is ten million. ”

When Wilhelm II heard this, he immediately laughed: "It's only 10 million marks, which is expensive?" ”

Hitra actually didn't finish speaking, and finally replied weakly: "It's RMB!" Your Majesty! ”

Wilhelm II was shocked: "What? 10 million RMB? Why RMB? We build our own submarines, why use yuan? Don't tell me, you're using the Empire's foreign exchange reserves! ”

Hitra glanced at Wilhelm II cautiously, nodded and said: "Many key parts of the submarine can only be imported from the Chinese Empire, and we need a third country to intermediate, so it costs extra RMB." ”

"Do you know how hard it is for our empire to save some yuan! You actually spent 10 million RMB! ”

At that moment, Wilhelm II was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, and he wanted to kick Hitra to Mars. (To be continued.) )
