Chapter 600 Comprehensive Counter-Retaliation Measures

How to launch a retaliatory action against the German Empire, the internal staff quickly came up with a plan. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Since the German Empire did not dare to openly attack the civilian ships and military warships of the Chinese Empire, it showed that the military strength of the German Empire was not enough to challenge the entire Chinese Empire.

On this point, all the internal staff, including Li Weiguo, are very clear.

If the Imperial German Navy had a few hundred such mysterious submarines, it would have been able to abuse the Imperial Chinese Navy like a dog.

However, this reminded the Chinese Imperial Military that there are people outside the world, and if they do not rush into the torrent, they will go backwards.

Since the world war, the Imperial Chinese Navy has become the hegemon of the world's oceans, and if it wants to dominate the world forever, then it must not slack off.

Li Weiguo also took the opportunity to reprimand the generals and officers of various naval departments to extinguish their prestige, so that they could have a sense of crisis, which would more easily arouse the fighting spirit of the officers and men of the navy.

In Li Weiguo's view, although this incident brought shame to the Imperial Navy, it was a good thing.

"Your Majesty, this is a plan sent by the internal staff, please take a look."

Li Weiguo took the fold, but he didn't open it for the first time, but said to Mingyue: "Is there any news from Germany?" ”

Mingyue knew what Li Weiguo was asking, two civilian merchant ships and a warship were sunk by a mysterious submarine, and the military insisted that the German Imperial Navy did it, but the Chinese S.H.I.E.L.D. failed to come up with credible evidence, which made Li Weiguo very unhappy.

In fact, Mingyue is not having a good time these days, she has already scolded the heads of the European Intelligence Station and the German Intelligence Station three times.

But scolding doesn't work, no matter how hard you try, you just can't find the slightest bit of relevant information.

"Your Majesty, there is no news about the mysterious submarine in the entire European intelligence station. This is a dereliction of duty on the part of the minister, please punish your majesty! ”

Li Weiguo frowned suddenly, he didn't want to hear such an answer, what he needed was intelligence.

"Two possibilities! One is that this mysterious submarine is indeed not owned by the German Imperial Navy, and the other is that the German Empire has done a very good job of keeping this matter secret. ”

For Li Weiguo, the last thing he wanted was the second scenario, which would mean that the Germans had the upper hand in intelligence and dark warfare, which would be very unfavorable to the Chinese Empire.

As the world's largest intelligence organization, the director of the China S.H.I.E.L.D., Mingyue felt very embarrassed and couldn't hold her head up in front of Li Weiguo.

"To be able to build such an advanced submarine, the most likely ones in the world besides the Empire are the United States, England, and the German Empire. Among them, the United States and England are under the complete control of the Imperial Divine Army, and it is impossible to build such an advanced submarine without us knowing. So the suspicions of the military are not unreasonable, only the German Empire is most likely. ”

Mingyue didn't have any evidence in her hands, but she also thought that the German Empire had done it. However, she ignored one of the most important issues, that is, although the United States and England could not build advanced submarines without concealing the Chinese Empire, they could get some relevant technical assistance and support from the Chinese Empire, while the German Empire, although it could not directly obtain high-tech equipment and technology from the Chinese Empire, could secretly spend a huge amount of money to buy equipment and even technology from British and American merchants.

For businessmen, regardless of nationality. The Chinese Empire controlled both the United States and England, and then restrictions would be eased in terms of restricting the access of Americans and British to the large corporations of the Chinese Empire. When the promised benefits were doubled, the merchants of the Chinese Empire were likely to sell some sensitive technology and equipment to the British and Americans, and when the promised benefits were greater than ten or even twenty times, the British and Americans would take the risk of reselling sensitive technology and equipment to the German Empire.

This is the real reason why Hitra spent 10 million yuan to build the Seawolf submarine, and most of the money was spent this way.

In other words, Hitra built the Seawolf submarine with the technology and equipment available in the Chinese Empire.

Therefore, when Wilhelm II said that he would build hundreds of Seawolf-class submarines to prepare for a decisive battle with the Imperial Chinese Navy, Hitler objected. Because Hitra knows very well that the core technology of the Seawolf comes from the Chinese Empire, once the war starts, it cannot be ruled out that the Chinese Empire will quickly build the same advanced submarine as the Seawolf-class, and even the black technology hidden by the Imperial scientists in the Chinese Empire may build a more advanced submarine than the Seawolf-class, and with the strong industrial production capacity of the Chinese Empire, hundreds or even thousands of powerful submarines will be built in a short time, so it is completely unrealistic for the German Empire to use the Seawolf-class submarine to fight a decisive battle with the Chinese Imperial Navy.

"Focus on Hitla, all the places he has been to, the most likely to appear mysterious submarine base."

Staring at Xitra, this is the only countermeasure Li Weiguo has thought of, he knows that all this must be Xitra's ghost. It's a pity that MacArthur didn't mention anything about Hitla's attitude back then, so Li Weiguo was also a little confused at the moment.

However, it must be right to keep an eye on Xitra, Li Weiguo is full of confidence in this, as long as he keeps an eye on Xitra, he will definitely be able to find valuable information.

"Obey! In addition, Li Xiangyang has successfully infiltrated Berlin with the help of the German intelligence station of the Chinese S.H.I.E.L.D., and if the plan remains unchanged, there will soon be an opportunity to assassinate Hitla, hoping that Li Xiangyang can complete the mission. ”

Mingyue said with a little joy, obviously she was still very confident in Li Xiangyang's ability.

Li Weiguo nodded and said: "If you can kill Hitla, it will naturally be a good thing, but you can't rely too much, the German Empire attaches as much importance to education and science as we do, and they have a lot of talents in their country." If one hitra falls, I'm afraid there will be more hitras to stand up. We must be fully prepared and strive to improve our own strength is the right way. ”

Mingyue hurriedly said: "Your Majesty has educated you, and the minister understands!" ”

At this time, Li Weiguo opened the revenge plan sent by the internal staff.

Regarding the plan to retaliate against the German Empire, there were many plans given by the internal staff, and after Li Weiguo read it twice, he felt that the third plan was not bad.

This third package of programs aimed at retaliating against the German Reich from four main projects: political, economic, military, and cultural.

Politically, there is nothing too brilliant, since the world war, the Chinese Empire has regarded the German Empire as a potential competitor, and after the English Channel incident, the German Empire has been completely listed as an enemy, so in Europe, the Chinese Empire has formed gangs and factions, and the small partners around the German Empire have been drawn into the camp of the Chinese Empire, and the German Empire has been politically isolated.

The plan for political revenge against the German Empire was given by the internal staff, which included the previous established policy, and the only proposal to win over Liening was added.

According to the internal staff, since Liening did not intervene in the Russian civil war and quickly ended the civil war by reaching a compromise with the nobles of the Duma parliament in a lightning flash, then if the Chinese empire intervened again, it would cause unanimous hostility among the nobles of the entire Russian Duma parliament, and on the contrary, let the German Empire take advantage of it, and make the European friends nervous, fearing that the Chinese Empire would also take action against them.

Therefore, it became the best choice to win over Liening and continue to support Russia.

The internal staff regarded the co-optation of Liening as digging into the corner of the German Empire, and it was already obvious that the German Empire was behind the support of the German Empire when Liening's revolutionary army was suddenly equipped with a large number of sophisticated German weapons. However, Lie Ning was obviously jealous of the Chinese Empire, so at this time, the Chinese Empire released kindness to Lie Ning, which would make Lie Ning grateful. After all, Liening is not a fool, if it confronts the Chinese Empire, then Russia will have to rely on the German Empire, and the final result will be annexation by the German Empire. But if the Chinese Empire were united against the German Empire, the result would not be much better, and Russia would become a vassal.

Then with Liening's cleverness, he will definitely choose neutrality, and both sides will not be offended if he pleases both sides.

Even if Liening only chose neutrality, it would be a political defeat for the German Empire.

Military retaliation is the focus, if the mysterious submarine is really the German Empire, then when the Chinese Empire retaliates, the German Empire will understand that this is the work of the Chinese Empire, and there may be a miscalculation, which will lead to the situation getting out of control and directly detonating a full-scale war between China and Germany.

Of course, this is only a possibility. The people of the Chinese Empire did not like to fight, Confucianism for thousands of years has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, and the common people are not keen on fighting, they only care about their own food, clothing, housing, transportation, eating, drinking, and sleeping. The main agenda of the Reichstag and the people's congresses at all levels is economic construction, and if the military deliberately provokes trouble to start a war, then it will certainly not drown in the mouth.

In this way, military retaliation must also be carried out in secret, in Li Weiguo's words, since the Germans used submarines to sneak around, then the Imperial Chinese Navy also used submarines to attack the Germans in turn, bombing their merchant ships and warships.

But the question is, the Germans have mysterious advanced submarines, will they also have advanced detection equipment, if they can detect the submarines of the Chinese Imperial Navy, then once the submarines of the Chinese Imperial Navy are captured and captured when they attack the Germans, they will inevitably push the Chinese Empire to the cusp, after all, the sneak attack is not glorious, if it is an attack on civilian ships, the whole world will despise it, which is an unacceptable situation for the people of the Chinese Empire who want to save face.

Therefore, the suggestion of the internal staff was to launch advanced submarines, which could avoid the detection of the German Imperial Navy and not give the other side the approval handle.

At the technical level of submarines, the Imperial Chinese Navy did not have any difficulties, and there were even several submarines with very advanced capabilities.

It's just that after the world war, the Chinese Imperial Navy dominated the world's seas and had no opponents, so many naval equipment were suspended. However, this does not mean that the research and development of new weapons and equipment has also been suspended; on the contrary, under the instruction of Li Weiguo, the navy's various new weapons and equipment have been continuously developed and upgraded.

Wei Han presided over the work of naval equipment, and the number one chief engineer of the submarine was still Huo Lan, and his apprentices and assistants became the backbone of submarine equipment research and development.

Without relying on air propulsion systems, this research topic has been launched, and Holland personally led the team, although there are many difficulties, but the progress is not small.

In addition, the Holland team is also developing water storage tank technology.

After the construction of the experimental boats X79 and X80 was completed, but still did not reach mass production.

In fact, three major flaws in these two submarines have been exposed.

First of all, the cost of an X80 submarine, two saury modified submarines can be built, mainly because the performance of the water storage tank to improve the design is too expensive, in order to get enough oxidized seawater for these submarines, it is necessary to do fuel renewal production.

So the experimental boat X80 switched to high-power diesel engines, which gave rise to the X81 submarine - which was already a very advanced submarine in the eyes of the imperial Chinese military at the time.

It had the most incredible underwater speed of the early twentieth century, and its sophisticated equipment allowed the craft to find and attack targets without having to approach the surface.

In addition, the X81's Fish Ray hydrostatic loading system can load 6 Fish Radium in 12 minutes, compared to 10 to 20 minutes on a typical Saury modified submarine.

Another novelty of this type of submarine is the way it is built.

According to a casual prompt from Li Weiguo, Holland's team divided the entire hull of the X80 into 9 sections and built it in different factories, and then carried out the final combined assembly in 3 docks, which greatly shortened the construction period.

The internal staff asked the General Administration of Naval Ships to list the improved version of the X80, that is, the X81 submarine, as a key point for development, and the time given was only three months.

The reason why the time was so rushed was mainly the imminent threat of the mysterious submarine of the German Navy.

At the same time, the internal reference consulted Holland and knew that Holland's requirements for the internal reference could be done, so he set a three-month deadline.

The X81 submarine will be based on the improved Swordfish-class submarine with the goal of hunting down the German mysterious submarine.

The conditions given by the internal reference are that the surface light load displacement of the X81 submarine is at least 3,500 tons, the normal surface displacement is 4,300 tons, and the underwater displacement is 5,800 tons, which is more than 1,000 tons higher than the tonnage of the most advanced Swordfish-class submarine of the Imperial Chinese Navy on the whole.

Although the current research results of Holland's team show that there are still various problems with the non-dependent air propulsion system, it can already ensure that the submarine can dive for ten days without surfacing at a speed of 8 knots.

Ten days of submersion is enough to quietly penetrate into the lair of the German Empire's high seas fleet and carry out the sneak attack plan near the major ports and waterways around Germany.
