September was a busy month for Li Guang, with military and government affairs entangled his hands and feet, when Li Guang had just sent off diplomats from Peru and Bolivia. Once again, a "friend" came to the door, and Chilean diplomats took the initiative to come to the door, obviously showing goodwill.

What the two countries are friendly neighbors, separated by a strip of water, should be friendly for generations to come, and help each other and so on and so on. As for what commercial trade should be carried out, and it is tax reduction and exemption, and there are many preferential treatments. In short, the Haitang state cannot be allowed to join the alliance between Peru and Bolivia again.

Li Guang hummed and agreed, in short, if this matter is to be decided, you have to wait for the prime minister to come back.

Strength.

This is the embodiment of strength, without power, which country would look at Haitang and even China?

The force is strong, even in the corner of the South Pacific, friends will still come to the door one after another.

On 5 September, Li Guang again received a group of "friends."

Two German submarines, trekking tens of thousands of miles to reach the Stone Statue Island. At the head was an old acquaintance, Colonel Claude of the German Navy.

Since the Naval Resistance Army helped the British and French forces in Dunkirk, Li Guang felt that he might have to part ways with Germany from then on. However, Li Guang talked about credibility, and continued to provide batteries to the Germans in the past few months. By the beginning of September, the contract had been largely completed.

The Germans were not angry at the aid of the Naval Resistance Army to the British and French forces, and came to the door to prepare to continue the business talks. This really surprised Li Guang. Originally, in Li Guang's plan, I am afraid that battery sales will have to find another way, but I didn't expect it to continue, which is really unexpected. It looks like there is hope for the $20 million shortage of the Navy.

The reason for this is funny: because of the Battle of Dunkirk, the most critical reason for the escape of the Anglo-French forces was that Hitler ordered the offensive to be stopped, giving the Anglo-French troops two days. Naturally, the German generals did not dare to put the blame on the Führer, and the various acts of the Chinese Naval Resistance Army in the Dunkirk retreat were well known to all participating countries, and the German Army was also very clear, and even knew that the naval resistance was in a powerful artillery array in the battle. But no one explained to Hitler at all, saying that this was not an indirect slap in the face of the Führer?

The Führer did not know, so the exchanges between Germany and the Haitang Kingdom would have to continue.

In addition, the Germans did need batteries from the Maritime Resistance Army, and the Naval Resistance Army was very trustworthy and delivered the batteries on time. So the Germans "ignored" this little unpleasantness. Since there was no unpleasantness between the two sides and the cooperation was remarkable, it was only natural that Claude would visit the Stone Statue Island.

In the final analysis, the reason lies in the Haitang Kingdom, the naval strength of the Naval Resistance Army already has a foundation, and several countries standing at the top of the world have the value of wooing.

Li Guang is not a good businessman, but Claude personally came to the door, and he used two submarines, Li Guang will not be naïve to think that the Germans are just for the battery business. If it is just for the battery business, there is a special team in Uruguay, and there is no need to go to the stone statue island.

At the reception dinner, Professor Yuan Ye, who had just returned to Shixiang Island, got off the plane and went to the banquet table. After a few verbal temptations, I found out a little bit of the Germans. The Germans were nominally sending new active sonar and naval forces to maintain trade relations. There are other plans behind it.

The Germans moved so fast, Li Guang only handed over the British-made sonar to the Germans in April, and only five months later had already produced a more advanced sonar. You must know that the two submarines led by Claude ran for more than a month before they reached Stone Statue Island. In other words, it took the Germans less than three months to research, improve the design, and manufacture, which is really astonishing speed.

In fact, the gap between the Germans and the British in active sonar technology is not too big, and the British active sonar is more advanced than the Germans, but the overall performance is not a level higher. However, the core element of sonar is unique in the British, with a wavelength about half that of German sonar. The core of sonar is the ultrasonic generator, and the accuracy of the active sonar ranging search is related to the wavelength of the ultrasonic generator. Sonar is similar to radar in some ways, with shorter wavelengths and higher accuracy.

The German manufacturing technology itself is not bad, or even better, after absorbing the British technology, extremely smoothly developed a new type of ultrasonic generator, the wavelength is only one-tenth of the original, the accuracy is greatly improved. Reached a fifth of the British active sonar.

Although the performance was not really improved by a factor of five, after testing, the two-kilometer ranging error was reduced to less than ten meters. And it can block out a considerable part of the background noise. This improved sonar has a noticeable increase in performance in shallow seas, unlike before, when used in shallow seas it is simply impossible to identify submarines and the bottom of the sea.

The Germans talk about credibility, and the trip to Dunkirk of the Naval Resistance Army is obviously not good for Germany, and the Germans don't care, good, good, really good.

The better, the more the Germans have other plans. Li Guang spoke more carefully, and Professor Yuan Ye began to further test Claude without reminding him.

While drunk, the Germans revealed that they had entered the Arctic Ocean from the North Atlantic, and then detoured to the Pacific Ocean, crossing more than half the world to reach the Statue Island.

The Germans are really good. The officers present at the meeting expressed their admiration one after another.

This is not the twenty-first century, this is the forties of the twentieth century. It is said that the Arctic Ocean route has been known to the world since the nineteenth century, but in fact this route is densely packed with icebergs, cold weather, complicated sea conditions, and perennial snowstorms.

Moreover, this so-called Arctic route was actually discovered by a Norwegian adventurer in 1905. Before 1930, the volume of freight on this waterway was zero, and thirty years later, the Soviets were the first to use this waterway. However, the waterway is only accessible in August and September every year when the ice melts. In history, only after Germany attacked the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union had to desperately use this waterway in order to obtain external supplies. And it was about half the distance of the waterway that the Germans experienced.

Under these circumstances, the German submarine was definitely taking a huge risk by taking this route. However, the danger mainly comes from nature, neither Britain, nor the United States, nor the Soviet Union have deployed even a single force for this waterway at this time.

The Naval Resistance Army would not dare to choose such an adventurous route when it went to Europe, and if there was still an opportunity to trade with Germany, Li Guang still did not dare to choose such a route. At that time, the famous Titanic route was already in crisis in the North Atlantic alone, and finally hit an iceberg. Take the route of the Arctic Ocean, I don't know how many times the danger increases. Without a super-high level of sailing technology, they simply did not dare to take this route. The Germans are bold and daring.

Yuan Ye and Li Guang looked at each other and smiled, and the two judged that the Germans definitely had major plans. The Germans took such a big risk, and it was absolutely not about the interests of three or five million dollars.

Li Guang immediately had a concept in his mind, the Germans were estimated to be in a hurry because of the British blockade, and external materials could not be transported in, and they wanted to find an external route. However, the subsequent negotiation process proved that this was definitely not the complete goal of the Germans.
