The engineer walked up to Hohenlohe and whispered, "Your Excellency, I have discovered that Huaguo has adopted a new method in the construction of this transport ship, they produce parts for ships in other places, and then ship them here for assembly. According to my estimate, this method can reduce the construction time and improve the construction efficiency, if every part is manufactured in strict accordance with the standard, then this kind of carrier is a standard transport ship, its carrying capacity, tonnage, etc. are the same. ”

"What do you mean?" Hohenlohe can see that from the beginning of the investigation, the main force of the team has become those professionals, and he has not expressed much opinion, but what does this engineer mean by communicating with himself?

The engineer said excitedly, "Can't you see it?" Once we have learned this approach and applied it to all aspects of industrial production, our industrial capacity will increase significantly on the basis of what we already have. Producing more bullets, more weapons, more vehicles in the same amount of time means immense! ”

"Go on!"

"It's not complicated, it's hard to set the same standards for all the factories involved, workers and engineers have to be retrained, maybe a lot of machinery needs to be retrofitted, and it's a multifaceted approach that requires a high-level, strong organization to implement."

Hohenlohe nodded, he was going to raise this issue in the subsequent negotiations, if Huaguo could confess to the best, if he couldn't go back and organize people to study, this is a very good way, maybe it is the root of Huaguo's ability to obtain such a strong industrial capacity in a short period of time!

The inspection continues, the shipyard, the armored combat vehicle factory, and the next stop will be the most exciting Huaguo military port, where you will get close to Huaguo's "Taishan" super battleship.

From Zhoushan, Guangdong Road, you need to take a train, and then transfer to a car, which is a little more direct by sea. However, the members of the delegation were tired of wandering on the sea and chose the land route directly, perhaps to investigate the situation in China is also a reason, and many things can often be seen on both sides of the railway and highway.

The deputy head of the delegation, the young Crown Prince William, has taken a bad turn since the first meeting was reckless. On the same day, he reflected on it and remained silent during the subsequent inspection. The royals who have experienced elite education since childhood are not straw bales, on the contrary, Crown Prince William is very smart and thoughtful, he is observing, summarizing, and thinking.

"Mr. Gustav, you are well versed in industrial management, can you tell us how it feels during this period of inspection?" On the train, Crown Prince William sat next to Gustav and asked him tentatively.

"Your Majesty the Crown Prince. It was not fortunate that the Chinese were able to easily defeat the Japanese in the Battle of Kyushu, they far surpassed the island nation in industry and military, and judging from the occasional words of the receptionist's explanation, they also had a great advantage in agriculture, not only to solve the problem of food and clothing, but also to have a huge amount of grain reserves. Agriculture is an aspect that cannot be ignored, especially in wars between countries, where food serves as a strategic resource. Significant. ”

William could not have imagined that Gustav, as a business leader, would analyze agriculture from an analytical perspective. Perhaps it was due to the sensitivity of his diplomacy when he first engaged. There's nothing wrong with that, William also knows the importance of grain, in Europe, the Ukrainian granary has always been of strategic attention, and a large part of the scramble for the Eastern European Plain is also because of grain.

Seeing that William listened attentively, Gustav continued: "During the visit to the Chinese tank factory. I was thinking that armored vehicles and tanks (as the Chinese call them) are so powerful that their role on the battlefield is incomparable. And judging from Huaguo's attitude, they are interested in selling those equipment to us, and even strive to obtain those design drawings and production technology. But. Our country's resources are limited, steel production is limited, and those equipment will consume a lot of resources. Add to this the fanaticism of Vice Admiral Tipilz for the navy, His Majesty the Emperor's fanaticism for battleships, and the desire to defeat the British, and it is inevitable that part of the resources will be thinned out on the navy. So, even if we get everything we want, it will be difficult to produce it on a large scale at home, because we don't have that many resources. ”

Gustav's words disappointed Crown Prince Wilhelm, he was right, Germany is not a big country like the United States, Russia, and China, its domestic resources are limited, steel and rubber are needed to produce chariots and warships, and oil is needed to drive those behemoths, and Germany does not have as many overseas colonies as Britain. In the event of a war, sea transport would inevitably be blocked by the British, so where to find a new source of resources for the German tanks to advance?

Without solving this problem, Germany could not have won the war, lost its supply of resources, and was eventually blockaded to death by the British! William's eyes suddenly lit up, looked at Gustav, and whispered excitedly: "Russia, there are all the resources we need there!" ”

The overall strategy needs to be carefully studied after returning home, and this is not something that can be decided by a crown prince and a business owner, so William can only be restless and continue to follow the delegation to investigate.

The construction of Zhoushan Military Port in the past two years has made it more and more perfect, and it has surpassed Huizhou Military Port and Zhanjiang Military Port and become the main anchorage for Chinese warships. Moreover, it is covered by the archipelago, easy to defend, the harbor is in excellent condition, the area is vast, and not far behind is the Yangtze River Delta industrial belt, the transportation is convenient, and it can be said that it is the most suitable military port in the sea area of China.

There are no civilian docks, a wide area from the sea to the land is zoned for military administration, the land is full of patrols on foot or in cars, and there is even a field airfield six kilometers from the port where an air squadron is stationed. On the archipelago, hundreds of large-caliber shore defense guns are rooted on the top of the islands, which can be said to be foolproof. As for sect immortal mountains such as Putuo Mountain, I'm sorry, Huaguo is not allowed to worship and visit here!

Lu Hai, commander of the Chinese Navy, personally greeted the German delegation and served as a tour guide. Of course, there is a reason why Lu Hai is so enthusiastic, for the genetic human officers who are familiar with ancient and modern combat examples and have been instilled with all the knowledge about naval warfare, the necessary perceptual knowledge still needs to be learned, and the advanced computers of later generations often fail in duels with human chess players, let alone genetic people. And the German Vice Admiral Tipilz is the object of exchange that Lu Hai is ready to exchange, and the exchange between the top naval officials like them is difficult to achieve unless it is between allies.

"There are two 'Wuyue-class' battleships, what you see is the first 'Taishan' of the Wuyue-class, and the second 'Huashan' is carrying out patrol training missions in the open sea, please follow me."

Lu Hai invited the members of the delegation to board the Mount Tai, which made people flattered, how could such a national treasure be easily revealed? The Chinese are either stupid or confident, Tipilz followed behind Lu Hai, he thought that the Chinese were confident that even if the expedition group stayed on the battleship for several days, it would be impossible to understand this kind of battleship, and it would be impossible to produce such a battleship in a few years.

In fact, thousands of meters away, everyone saw this behemoth leaning against the shore, it was by far the largest ship in the world, neither civilian nor military ships. Just like the sword of the scholar during the Warring States period in China, the longer it is, the more it can show the smelting level of a country, and it can also highlight the national strength of a country. The same is true for ships, the bigger they are, the more powerful they are, not to mention the main guns on battleships!

Tipilz touched the main guns on the battleship with a trembling hand, and listened to Lu Hai's explanation in his ears: "The battleship Taishan, with a standard displacement of 41,700 tons and a full load displacement of 49,400 tons; 250.5 meters long and 36 meters wide; It adopts 12 high-pressure heavy oil boilers, 3 steam turbines, and 3 shaft propulsion; The maximum stable power is 150,170 hp, and the maximum ultimate power is 163026 hp. ”

As soon as Lu Hai said this, one of the battleship designers in the inspection group couldn't hold back any longer: "Impossible! Lie! Swindler! Shameless! How can there be heavy oil boilers and steam turbines in the world that output such powerful horsepower? Can your industry produce 50,000 tons of battleship spindles and keels? Do you know how high the industrial level of a country is required to build such a warship? Germany can't do it, Britain can't do it, the United States can't do it, you China can't do it either, and no country in the world can do it! ”

The engineer screamed excitedly, because the battleship was beyond his knowledge, and even overturned his knowledge. In fact, these questions have been haunting the minds of the team members during the inspection, but the reality makes them have to believe it, until this time, the simple engineer can no longer bear it.

"It can't be done, but the steel base can do it, who will let the chief have a plug-in!" Lu Hai smiled in his heart, and then waited for the engineer to calm down, and the investigation team Hohenlohe grabbed the engineer, ordered someone to take him away, who was almost out of control, and then apologized to Lu Hai with a smile.

Lv Hai: "Then I will continue to explain, the Taishan has a stable speed of 30 and 8 knots, a top speed of 31 and 5 knots, and a fuel load of 7,400 tons; Endurance 16 knots / 9280 nautical miles; The armament consisted of four twin 380-mm guns, six twin 150-mm guns, eight 105-mm twin guns, and two quadruple 533-mm torpedo tubes. "These parameters are secrets, and they must not be known to the outside world, Lu Hai chose to make them public, that is, he is sure that even if these parameters are known by the enemy, there is no way to sink them, but it will cause competition among the great powers, and make great efforts to surpass the Taishan, how can this ultimate battleship surpass in a short period of time, if it does not follow the laws of science and technology, in the end it will make the great powers gain more than they lose, and the Wuyue-class battleship is a delicious poison for the great powers!
