During Rudolph's visit to China, the failure of the German army's SS-7 intercontinental ballistic missile project test led to Rudolph's negotiation of the Chinese Empire's arms expansion at the negotiating table became very passive, and finally returned to nothing. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The explosion at the missile test site killed more than a dozen key scientists of the German Union, and an angry Hitler immediately canceled the SS-7 ICBM project. However, the arms expansion of the Chinese Empire gave the German Union a huge sense of strategic oppression, and Hitler canceled the SS-7 long-range ICBM project, which had to be replaced by other projects.

Hitler, who had been so ambitious, finally lowered his demands, and the German Union Strategic Arms Management Committee put the SS-4 intermediate-range ballistic missile project on the agenda.

As early as the middle of World War II, Germany began to use medium-range missiles to carry out strategic bombing of Britain, and achieved certain results. The German Union had a lot of specialists in this area, so the SS-4 medium-range ballistic missile project began.

From the first half of 1947 to the second half of 1948, the German Union successfully tested the SS-4 medium-range ballistic missile. Agents of the Chinese Empire were no longer able to carry out the sabotage, and had to steal data about the SS-4 ballistic missile through other means.

According to the data obtained by the Chinese emperor, the German Union SS-4 medium-range ballistic missile has a total length of 21 meters, a diameter of 1.1~1.7 meters, a maximum range of 1980 kilometers, a maximum take-off weight of 22.5 tons, the use of inertial guidance, the weight of the warhead is 700 kilograms, the explosive yield is estimated at 150,000 tons, the error is 5 kilometers, its fuel filling time is about 5 minutes, and it is launched from ground positions or silos.

ICBMs of this level cannot be compared with the Mistral series of ICBMs of the Chinese Empire. However, there are still vast territories in the western and northern parts of the Chinese Empire bordering the German-Russian region, and it cannot be ruled out that the enemy will deploy SS-4 missiles to the Sino-German border areas in wartime, which will also pose a great threat to the Chinese Empire.

At the same time, the missiles of the Chinese Empire are all long-range ICBMs, and the cost is obviously much higher than that of the German Union's medium-range ballistic missiles. Once the two sides fought, the Chinese Empire had an advantage in long-range strikes. But the short- and medium-term losses are at a loss.

In addition, on the forward positions used by the Chinese Empire to contain the German Federation and NATO countries, Britain, Armenia, Turkey and other countries are very worried about the German Union's SS-4 ballistic missiles, and have asked the Chinese Empire to deploy the Mistral series of ballistic missiles in their countries to give them a sense of security.

However, the Chinese imperial side believes that it is unwise to deploy long-range ICBMs on the front line, and to deal with the German Union, it is only necessary to deploy short- and medium-range ballistic missiles in front-line countries.

To this end, the Chinese Emperor developed the Defender-1 medium-range ballistic missile for the SS-4 medium-range ballistic missile of the German Union.

The Chinese Empire was at least twenty years ahead of the German Union in missile weapons technology. Therefore, although the Chinese Empire developed intermediate-range ballistic missile technology later than the German Union, it almost officially deployed intermediate-range ballistic missiles with the German Union. Therefore, strategically it is not at all behind.

The Defender 1 medium-range ballistic missile is based on the V2 missile barrel design developed by the Chinese Empire before World War II, but the rocket engine and inertial navigation equipment have been updated to make it faster and more stable. With higher strike accuracy, it became the star of the family of medium-range ballistic missiles.

Defender 1 is the first generation of medium-range ballistic missiles with a first-class liquid-fueled single warhead in the Chinese Empire. Developed by the Royal Aircraft Corporation, it successfully flew live ammunition in June of Guanghua 48, began to equip the Chinese Imperial Strategic Missile Forces in September of the same year, and mass-produced equipment for the Imperial Chinese Army at the Portsmouth base in the United Kingdom in February of the following year.

In response to the intelligence that the German Union plans to deploy 50 to 95 SS-3 medium-range ballistic missiles, the first batch of Guardian 1 medium-range ballistic missiles in the Chinese Empire plans to deploy 100 pieces, with a total equipment cost of 900 million dragon coins and a unit price of 750,000 dragon coins. 100 missiles are organized into 5 missile squadrons, with 20 missiles per squadron. Each is placed in 1 silo. It was not until April of Guanghua 63 that the Defender-1 medium-range ballistic missile was decommissioned and replaced by the more advanced Defender-2 medium-range ballistic missile.

The tactical and technical performance data of the Defender-1 medium-range ballistic missile is generally stronger than that of the German Union's SS-4 medium-range ballistic missile. Its total length is 19.8 meters, its diameter is 1.8~2.24 meters, its maximum range is 3,200 kilometers, and its maximum take-off weight is 49.9 tons. The nuclear warhead it was equipped with was the Guanghua 45 (W-45) model, which was replaced by the Guanghua 49 after five years. The weight of the warhead reaches 1,800 kg, the nuclear bomb yield is 500,000 tons, the fuel filling time is 9 minutes, the accuracy is within 3 kilometers, and the ground vertical launch method or underground silos are used.

Despite the deep pockets of the Chinese Empire and the number of intermediate-range ballistic missiles deployed in the first batch were greater than those of the German Union, the Chinese Empire was on the offensive side, strategically encircling the German Union and NATO. The 100 Defender-1 missiles were scattered in Britain, Armenia, Turkey and other countries, and the pressure on the German Union was not very great.

Originally, the Chinese Emperor planned to deploy it on a large scale, but it was finally stopped by the Chinese Emperor Wang Chenhao. Because Wang Chenhao knows very well that a nuclear war is difficult to fight, and the role of nuclear weapons is only to deter the enemy. Yes, but it is not used, and if it is not, it is absolutely impossible. Just keep the strategic pressure on the German Union. It would be sufficient to force the German Federation to engage in a corresponding arms race, because the real purpose of the Chinese Empire was to bring down the economic base of the German Federation.

The German coalition was in financial difficulties in the early post-war period, but Hitler still managed to increase military spending by all means.

In addition to confronting the Chinese Empire with nuclear missiles, Hitler's ambition to rebuild the German High Seas Fleet swelled again in the face of the Chinese Empire's huge naval expansion plan.

In order to break the naval blockade of the entire German Union by the Chinese Empire, NATO countries have supported the German Union's plan to rebuild the High Seas Fleet.

According to the information obtained by the OKW Intelligence Bureau, after 1950, the Chinese Empire will have at least five nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and 20 nuclear submarines, plus the original 11 conventional aircraft carriers, 13 super battleships, 187 cruisers, 1,045 destroyers, and nearly 530 conventional submarines, and the Chinese Imperial Navy's naval strength will be unprecedentedly strengthened.

Facing the Imperial Chinese Navy alone is enough to terrify the entire NATO countries, and if you count the naval power of the Warsaw Pact organizations such as Britain, Turkey, Lan Fang, and Singapore, it is even greater.

However, Hitler still defied public opinion and forced the Naval Enlargement Act in the Reichstag, allocating 27 billion marks (3.5 billion dragon dollars) to rebuild the high seas fleet. However, at this time it was already the era of the entire European German League, so the name of the fleet was named the United European Fleet to gather the support of European countries.

3.5 billion dragon coins could not build a combined European fleet that could rival the imperial Chinese navy, and Hitler hoped to allocate more than a billion dragon coins every year in the future. In the next ten years, it will be able to catch up with the Imperial Chinese Navy, or reach 70% of the Imperial Chinese Naval Force.

But it is clear that this is a very difficult plan, at least not with the current economic strength of the German League, unless the Europeans are hungry.

The plan for the European Combined Fleet was soon introduced, and according to Hitler's instructions, the German Union would build two nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and three conventionally powered aircraft carriers, 40 cruisers, 260 destroyers, and 140 submarines for the United Fleet over the next three years. Among them, 40 nuclear submarines.

Obviously, 3.5 billion dragon coins simply can't build so many warships. Even if the Germans could complete it under the planned economic system, they couldn't do it with many warships, because they didn't have enough technology.

Take aircraft carriers, for example. Deutsche was only able to imitate the early aircraft carriers of the Chinese Empire and Britain, but it happened to encounter that the aircraft carrier aircraft had abandoned the era of propeller fighters and entered the era of jet fighters, and the aircraft carrier platform originally used for propeller aircraft to take off and land could no longer serve jet carrier-based aircraft. The key steam catapult technology was strictly controlled by the Chinese Empire and was not available to the German Union. It takes time to study steam catapults, and even more so for jet fighters to be transferred from land to training on aircraft carrier platforms. And the latter takes quite a long time, since it takes a lot of time to train pilots in naval aviation. However, Germany did not pay attention to aircraft carriers from the beginning, so it became the biggest shortcoming at this time.

Eventually, the German Navy temporarily abandoned the construction of aircraft carriers in favor of cruisers, destroyers and submarines. Focusing on coastal defense, using land aircraft to counter Warsaw Pact aircraft carriers on the sea.

Although Hitler called for the establishment of a combined European fleet, the German Admiralty was very wise, and in the present situation, the German army would suffer a great loss in a water contest with the Chinese Empire, and it would be better to develop the navy of a weak country with asymmetric combat power. The so-called navy of a weak country is actually the large-scale construction of submarines. And conventionally powered submarines simply cannot dive for a long time to avoid the detection of the warships of the Chinese Empire that are everywhere on the sea. So the German Navy focused on the development of nuclear submarines.

The German Council of Admiralty (DMG) issued a mission for the development of the German Naval Ministers' Meeting, which called for the design of the Deutsche Union Tier 1 nuclear submarine as quickly as possible. But in addition to the problem of nuclear power plants, what is more serious is the placement of a T-15 torpedo with a length of 24 meters, a caliber of 1550 mm, and a range of 40-50 kilometers on the nuclear submarine, and at the same time two 533-mm torpedo tubes for self-defense. This kind of torpedo is designed to place a nuclear warhead to achieve the purpose of "killing two birds with one stone" of "super attack power and super power". Subsequently, the experts in charge of the development of the submarine began to work on this plan and submitted a preliminary technical design in July 1949, at which point the naval department became aware of the plan and its design. At that time, this eye-popping plan was submitted to the Navy Department. The naval department immediately stated that the main weapon of the submarines in this program, the T-15 torpedo, could not achieve the intended attack capability. At that time, submarines had to rely on physical targets on the shore to carry out attacks, and submarines had to do this by passing through the extremely tight anti-submarine belt set up by the Warsaw Pact, but also by not being detected by the enemy, and firing nuclear bombs and torpedoes before unknowingly leaving. It's almost impossible. The design speed of 30 knots means that the submarine may be endangered by the explosion of a nuclear bomb even if it leaves the launched torpedo at full speed. Therefore, the Navy came to the conclusion that the armament argument was insufficient. At the same time, although the initial development of submarines was relatively smooth, the development of nuclear bombs and torpedoes was full of obstacles, and in the end, the "nuclear bomb torpedo submarine" program was abandoned and replaced by the development of ordinary nuclear-powered attack submarines, equipped with eight 533-mm torpedo tubes, which were used to attack enemy warships and transport ships in the ocean, and could launch torpedoes at a depth of 100 meters, but could not attack enemy submarines.

Although the nuclear torpedo submarine program was cancelled, the general design of the submarine was completed, but in fact the research on the nuclear power plant was much more difficult than the design of the submarine. In the revised new design tasks, it is stipulated that the performance range of the nuclear submarine is: displacement less than 3000 tons, assembly of 8 533 mm torpedoes, underwater speed of at least 20 knots, endurance of 50~60 days. The external streamlined design of the submarine was carried out by the Central Institute of Sciences in Berlin and the Central Institute of Aerodynamics in France, and the research on hull materials and welding technology was handed over to the German Central Institute of Sciences. The most arduous study of nuclear power plants was the Institute of Physical Energy of the French Academy of Sciences, which built a prototype of a nuclear power plant for submarines in Toulon, France. Mock-ups of the submarine's reactor and turbine compartments were also built, in which generators, turbines and control systems were placed, and hydraulic brakes were used to collect the power output of the power unit and a series of tests were carried out. The development of the entire submarine was not completed until March 1952, after which the crew began to be trained in the handling of nuclear power plants.

Eventually, the German Union only completed Chapter 659 in 1954.

On the whole, the UF-1 submarine can basically provide an effective deterrent to the German Navy. This is mainly because the Imperial Chinese Navy is not familiar with this type of nuclear submarine, if the Imperial Chinese Navy knows that the nuclear submarine of the German Union can only use 60% of the power output when sailing, it can guess that the nuclear reactor technology of the German Union is far from enough.

Of course, this was only made public many years later when the German Union was dissolved. At the time when the German Union had just completed the launch of the nuclear submarine, the Chinese Empire was still very nervous and concerned.

When the German Union completed the nuclear submarine trials, the Chinese Empire showed great concern, which made the German Union very proud, so Hitler did not hold the German Admiralty responsible for abandoning the construction of nuclear submarines on aircraft carriers, but instead increased the number of nuclear submarines.

In order to frighten the Chinese Empire and the Warsaw Pact countries, the German Union claimed that the UF-1 nuclear submarine was capable of launching nuclear torpedoes and intercontinental ballistic missiles. And suddenly test-fired an SS-4 medium-range ballistic missile into the North Sea, which was openly launched from a nuclear submarine. Since the radar station of the Chinese Empire in the North Sea only monitored the situation of the terminal missile, and it was not known when and where it was launched, or whether it was launched from a nuclear submarine, the Chinese Imperial High Command was very nervous for a time, and hurriedly sent the Ming-class strategic nuclear submarines that did not carry ICBMs to serve in the North Sea in advance to deter the German Union.

Both China and Germany lied to deceive each other, so the first attack nuclear submarine of the two countries never came across, and both sides avoided being known to the other.
