Chapter Ninety-Six: Watching the Excitement
The diplomatic war between Britain and Germany was extremely fierce, and it affected Li Guang that night. The German side was willing to pay a high price to ask Li Guang to go all out to repair the battleship, but British Minister Drake quietly found Li Guang and asked Li Guang to refuse to repair the German battleship, and said that he would give Li Guang a very generous reward, and even a rich reward for Li Guang's political circles in Uruguay.
For Germany and Britain, there is no need for Li Guang to help either side. Don't look at China as the side of the Allied Powers, but this is the 39th year, and the Allied Organization has not yet been established. The anti-German alliance now consists only of France, Poland and the United Kingdom, as well as the British Dominions (Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the Dominion of Newfoundland, and the Union of South Africa).
Moreover, the British have plundered and invaded China since the beginning of the Opium War, and now there are still many concessions in China, and even after World War II, they occupied Hong Kong and did not return it.
Although Germany did not have any conflict with China throughout World War II, it even paid for the weapons ordered by China in the early days of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. But after all, in World War II, he was on the opposite side, don't look at Li Guang's deal with Germany, it was from the perspective of interests.
Since Uruguay has a political axe and thin mud, then Li Guanghe's thin mud level is also good. He immediately asked the British minister, Recker, if he could sell the island of Nauru to himself, and said that if the British government was willing to show goodwill, he would definitely drive the German warship out of the dock immediately.
The British ambassador is not a fool, this kind of request close to territorial sovereignty can not be called by British Prime Minister Winston Churchill in any case, and he is a small minister who cannot be the master in any case, but only means that he can negotiate --- diplomatic tone can be discussed.
Li Guang also knew how to talk nonsense when he opened his eyes, and immediately swore that in the process of repairing the German battleship, he would definitely drag it out and would definitely not repair the battleship in time. In fact, Li Guang already knew that it would be absolutely impossible to repair this battleship in three days.
As for the German side, in addition to expressing his condolences to the deceased, Li Guang also said that he would go all out to repair the warship day and night.
Li Guangke really repaired the battleship night and night, and that night the engineers of the shipyard and the officers of the Maritime Resistance Army began to take pictures everywhere. Workers also rushed to work overnight. The Germans really paid a lot of money, 70,000 dollars. That's enough to make a month's profit for a repair shop.
The pocket battleship Count Speer, not lightly wounded. The repair was definitely not something that could be done in three or two days, and the German captain, Colonel Landdorff, asked to repair the water inlet part of the bow of the ship first.
The injuries of the battleship were very serious, but the most affecting the driving was that the front part of the battleship was hit by armor-piercing shells with several large holes, the largest one was more than a meter in diameter. The sea water continued to pour into the battleship, but fortunately there were watertight compartments, and the watertight compartments built by the Germans were really enough to save the capital, which was enough for thirteen. Fortunately, the first battleship was so serious that it could still make do. The 203mm guns on British battleships were quite powerful, and the steel armor more than a hundred millimeters thick could easily penetrate it. Moreover, the battleship was blown up in a mess, and the heavy steel supports were twisted in many places, which made people marvel at the power of chemical energy invented by human beings.
Li Guang walked on the battleship and sighed with emotion as he took a step. His eyes lit up, and he was salivating.
Triple 279mm naval guns. 304kg shells with a range of 27 km.
Eight 150mm single-mounted secondary guns.
Three twin 105mm anti-aircraft guns.
Six twin 37mm anti-aircraft guns.
Six twin 20mm anti-aircraft guns.
Two quadruple 533 torpedo launchers.
Eight 6,800 hp diesel engines.
Radar. (This is the first time Li Guang has seen radar in this era.) )
Ten-meter optical rangefinder.
Li Guang has been seeing late at night, drooling a puddle, which one is envious, jealous and hateful. The firepower of the Baxia, which he worked so hard to build, is the power of a secondary gun of this German battleship.
Looking at other people's triple turrets, the armored structure, the automatic loading, and the hydraulic barrel control, Li Guang was envious, this thing could not be manufactured without large-scale industry. And the firing accuracy of this artillery is not at all comparable to the manually adjusted land artillery on the Baxia.
Li Guang's eyes were red. The cost of this warship is more than 80 million marks, which is more than 20 million if it is converted into US dollars, but in fact, because the real purchasing power of currency is not completely linked to the exchange rate in this era, if this warship is built by the Americans, it will cost at least 30 million or 40 million US dollars.
This is too shocking, Li Guang has worked hard for so many years, and originally wanted to build a small cruiser, but after seeing this German battleship, Li Guang knew that even if he caused a small cruiser, he would still be vulnerable in front of the battleships and heavy cruisers of Yuben.
Looking at the performance of several officers of the Naval Resistance Army, they are no better than Li Guang at all, there are those who cough and sigh, there are many people who have bright eyes, and some people have already looked up at the starry sky.
Since most of the German sailors were still on the ships, the officers of the Naval Resistance Force were not able to go deep into the core to observe.
If you don't see this clearly, Li Guang will not forgive himself. Several engineers, the Yankees of the ship design institute, and a few Chinese designers were carefully pondering and observing, and they refused to let go of the armor laying and even the decoration. These people are all Li Guang's technical backbones, and seeing such an advanced warship once will play a tremendous role in improving technology and broadening his horizons. What's more, Li Guang collected almost half of the Montevideo film for this battleship, and more than a dozen cameras avoided the Germans and desperately took pictures.
The Germans lost the battle, dozens of people were killed, dozens of people were wounded, and now they are sad, and almost no one pays attention to Li Guang's bad behavior of stealing technology. In the second half of the night, this stealing reached **. Engineers even took things apart and looked at what they didn't understand.
By the next day, the diplomatic war between Germany and Great Britain was still going on, and Colonel Langersdorff was holding a funeral for the fallen officers and men on the warship. All the Germans of Uruguay, and even the Argentines across the river, attended the funeral. The funeral of the German Navy in Montevideo was really grandiose enough, with thousands of people buried in it.
Li Guang was not interested in this, and there were not many German guards on the battleship at all. Whatever, Li Guang's gang of men went more smoothly in stealing, and they were everywhere on the battleship. If you have any doubts, open the research, and in this process, there are also a lot of small actions that lead the sheep.
Lapse from virtue? Li Guang doesn't care, a little improvement in technology will save his life, as long as the naval resistance army has few losses on the battlefield, Li Guang will still care about the so-called morality?
