"Andrey, let me tell you a secret, our "Soviet" class also has a special secret weapon. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo“

The commander of the Navy made a mysterious secret: the "Soviet" class should have everything, so what else can be equipped? The only explanation is radar!

"The radar development of the Special Electronics Research Institute has basically matured, and the land model should be delivered this year, and I hope that our battleships will be equipped with new shipborne models when they are completed." He replied simply.

As the person in charge of the new weapons of the Equipment Department, Lin Jun naturally knew the secrets of the Soviets, but he guessed them more accurately.

Historically, everyone has always believed that Soviet radar technology has been backward for a long time, in fact, it is not entirely the case, you must know that the first radar used to equip aircraft was a product of the Soviet Union in 1941, and the original radar concept was proposed by the Russian scientist Popov during the Tsarist period, which was still in 1897, but the Soviet Union did not pay enough attention to this new technology.

The British built a practical radar station in 36 years, and Alexander has been paying attention to the development of this technology abroad because of Lin Jun's relationship, although it is impossible to "steal" one from Britain like Israel in later generations (you can't steal it if you want to, it's too big.) But at least it was known that the British were already ahead of the curve, which indirectly stimulated the development of the Soviet radar.

Practical land radars are almost built, but the practical radars that can be installed on warships will have to wait at least one to two years, which is a big guy weighing tens of tons, and at present, only a behemoth like a battleship does not care about this extra weight.

It's not the first time Orlov has seen this Andrei's ever-surprising analytical foresight, so it's not surprising when Lin Jun says the secret weapon.

"Space has been reserved for the radar at the outfitting stage, and I hope that the comrades of the Electronics Research Institute will catch up."

"If you can't catch up, you will reserve a place first, and once the finished product comes out, it will enter the shipyard for refitting. This radar can be said to be the eyes of the army, and the combat effectiveness of having and not having is completely the difference between heaven and earth, which is as unfair as fighting between the blind and the blind. I have already given instructions to the Special Electronics Research Institute, asking them to step up research and development to ensure the reliability of the radar, and they should be able to come up with qualified products before the second half of next year. ”

In fact, Lin Jun has long been concerned about the development of high-power radar for ships, battleships equipped with radar are steel monsters that the enemy fears, and at present, all major powers are stepping up the development of radar, although it is impossible to know the progress, but history tells Lin Jun that without radar as eyes, the army is to a large extent like not having its own eyes, and the air force is even more sensitive to this.

If the Englishman Watt and his technical engineers can build a practical radar, then the Soviet scientists can make a better one, and Lin Jun is very sure of this.

When the train arrived at the railway station in Yaroslavl, more than 280 kilometers north of Moscow, Snornik informed Lin Jun that Stalin wanted to see him.

"Andrey, some comrades have proposed to start construction of two more battleships in the next two years, and the two docks in Severodvinsk will be vacated this year, and I would like to hear my opinion."

"Comrade Stalin, my opinion is not to consider any plans for the construction of new battleships in 5 years, the form does not allow it, and our national strength cannot withstand it." At this critical juncture, we must not embark on such a huge project again.

"You and the Central Committee have long decided to postpone the program for the construction of subsequent battleships, and from the analysis of the form of the world, we must do this. Since I arrived at the Ministry of Armament, I have investigated the situation of the "Soviet Union" and the "Red Ukraine", and the construction of them and the two fleet aircraft carriers already accounts for 18 percent of the total Soviet national product, which is already the limit of what we can afford. The Soviets had to have their own new capital ships, and at the moment these four were sufficient. ”

Stalin liked giant ships, but he would not be carried away by the results, and Lin Jun did not think that he really wanted to start construction again, today he just wanted to hear his own opinion.

"In order to fully guarantee these four warships, they all occupy about 60% of the raw materials, funds and skilled workers of the Red Navy's shipbuilding plan, and we cannot afford such consumption in a short period of time. Moreover, at present, Hitler's pace of waging war in the west is getting faster and faster, and the Red Army is also in a critical period of transformation, whether it is tank troops, aviation units, or even the construction of our infantry units, we also need a lot of money and resources, and we must make a choice. ”

"In the event of a war, we will first have to face a threat from land, and that will happen by next year at the latest. Whether or not there is a war that burns into the territory of the Soviets or only a military threat, the building of the army and air force will be a top priority. If the construction of subsequent battleships starts at this time, it will be a complete waste of resources, because it is impossible for us to complete them in the immediate and engagement phases. ”

Stalin had been listening carefully to Lin Jun's opinion.

"Ensure that the existing two battleships are completed on time and with good quality, and invest the saved manpower and resources in the construction of other parts of the Red Navy, so that not only the Red Navy, but also the Red Army's mechanized construction will be accelerated."

"Orlov reported that you made a constructive proposal for the construction of submarine forces." Stalin changed the subject, but was still on the Red Navy, which shows that he agreed with Lin Jun's opinion.

"Yes, Comrade Stalin. Last month I was already working with the 18th Central Design Bureau (Submarine Design Bureau, which later became known worldwide as the Ruby Marine Machinery Central Design Bureau. This issue was carefully discussed by Comrade Boris Mikhainovich Malinin, the chief designer, who believed that this design would make it possible to significantly increase the combat effectiveness of the submarine forces without major technological innovations. ”

"I've seen the reports that come in, and the new design will enhance the stealth of the submarine, especially for us more than other countries."

The terrain around the Soviets was placed there, and the role of the snorkel was more evident here than in the Atlantic or Pacific Oceans in order to recharge the batteries during a submarine operation.

"Comrade Ma Lining believes that by the end of this year at the latest, we will be able to successfully develop practical snorkel technology, first modify a submarine for experiments, and if successful, we will be able to apply the new technology to the construction of a new C-class submarine next year."

The C-class submarine is the "Stalin" type submarine, and Stalin will be happy to hear about this model.

"With the best use of submarine power, it can sometimes produce an effect comparable to that of a large surface ship force, and in some respects even more threatening. The German submarines of World War I made the British suffer a lot, and we can learn a lot from this. ”

"What you mean is that after the completion of large capital ships, the focus of the construction of the Red Navy will be shifted to the construction of submarine forces."

"No, Comrade Stalin. At present, we are only moderately enhancing the combat capability of the submarine forces, and in the case of the surface forces being controlled by many people, we will use the surprise attack capability of the submarine forces as a powerful supplement. At present, most of our western outlets to the sea are in an unfavorable environment, not only are they not suitable for large ships to fight, but also cannot play a major role, including the naval forces. The construction of the Red Army is the first priority, unless we break the shackles of the Gulf of Finland and get better access to the sea in the Baltic. ”

"You mean the three Baltic states?"

"Yes, Comrade Stalin. The West will use them to trap us as outposts against communism, and we must incorporate them into the Soviet territory through these three countries, whether historically, politically, or militarily. ”

"Are you still saying you're going to wait until the dwarf does it?"

"Huh." Lin Jun smiled stupidly, and regarded it as an answer.

Stalin had long wanted to bring Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia under the Soviet Union's territory, but Lin Jun was only adding fuel to the fire. It turned out that Lin Jun also wanted to include troublesome Finland in the territory of the Soviets at that time, but this country was really a thorn, and it was estimated that the loss would be too great if he insisted on taking it, and it was likely that the gains would outweigh the losses. It's not that Lin Jun was worried that the northerners he hated after the occupation of Finland would get into trouble - the Soviet Union in later generations would naturally have a way to occupy such a huge territory to the west.

Everything is just a matter of timing, and if the timing is right, Lin Jun doesn't care if the territory of the Soviets advances another 2,000 kilometers to the west, destroying all the capitalist countries of Europe and sweeping rotten capitalism into the dustbin of history!

Hitler in the west dreamed of building a thousand-year-old empire like Rome 2,000 years ago, but he failed, because barbaric fascism was doomed in the face of the Soviets! Hitler almost succeeded, he had defeated all his opponents on the European continent, and the United States on the other side of the ocean could only be a wait-and-see man, but Hitler arrogantly believed that he was invincible in the world, fantasized that he could destroy communism, and that an attack on the Soviets could only be destroyed!

Leaving Stalin's carriage, Lin Jun knew that he would influence history again: the large-scale expansion of the Red Army would take place earlier than history, and he had succeeded in making Stalin clearly understand the future threat from the West.

Whether it was German fascism or British and French capitalism, they were always thinking about how to destroy the red Bolsheviks, but no matter which one they were, they would always be enemies of the Soviets and of Lin Jun, who believed in great communism.

If you don't destroy it, it will destroy you, and the only right choice to face the enemy is to destroy it! Destroy it!! Crush it!! (To be continued.) )
