In February 1935, Britain and Germany signed a treaty on the armament of their navies after secret negotiations. The total tonnage of the ships of the German Navy does not exceed 40 percent of the total tonnage of the naval vessels of the Commonwealth countries as stipulated in the Washington Naval Treaties and the London Naval Treaties.

This is the famous "Anglo-German Naval Agreement", the content of which is no different from the original history, except that it was signed four months earlier, and the quota of more than 100 and 5 was demanded from the British in terms of total tonnage.

In 1934, the "peaceful" settlement of the Gannet incident showed the world the weakness of Britain. The British Empire, which was "slapped in the face by a few bandits in the Far East," was so wolf that it could only grit its teeth and endure "humiliation" and give up the right of way in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River -- the Yangtze River basin today, from the Yichang section of Hubei Province to the Jiujiang section of Jiangxi Province, is completely under the control of the Red Army.

The British government proposed negotiations with the Red Army in Jiangxi on the issue of the right of passage in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River, but the reply was that "the Red Army does not recognize any unequal treaties", which means that there is no need to negotiate.

The British Empire was helpless about it.

Soviet aid to the Red Army in Kiangsi also surfaced after September 1934, and intelligence indicated that a large number of Comintern Bolsheviks were present in the Red Army. The plane that appeared over Jiujiang and Hukou during the Battle of Jiujiang was even recognized by people with good intentions as a Soviet-made Bo-2 training plane.

The British representatives threatened to unite Japan and the United States to blockade the Red Army's ports in Fujian, but it was the Nationalist Government in Nanking that was the first to object. The Jiangxi Red Army was the day after the British threatened. It was announced that it would assemble heavy troops in the Dabie Mountains area on the north bank of the Yangtze River and the Huangshan area on the south bank of the Yangtze River to conduct "large-scale military exercises."

As a result, the Nanjing Nationalist Government, which had already been frightened by the Red Army, hurriedly stood up for the round, and today's Nanjing Nationalist Government urgently needs time to ease its breath and train its troops. The posture of the Red Army was already obvious, if the British dared to block their counterparts and the outer seas, the Red Army would advance eastward with all its might, sweeping away the British forces in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and the Nationalist Government in Nanking today would be powerless to resist the Red Army's offensive.

Today's Nanjing Nationalist Government is actually in the final stage of its demise, and the only thing that can help them is the "foreign thighs" of foreign countries. But among a few foreign thighs, it is impossible for the Americans to send troops for China's business. The British wanted to do it, but they didn't have the ability to do it. The most ambitious of the Japanese were wolf ambitions, but in recent months, the frequent movements of Soviet troops in the Far East in the northeast, echoing the high-profile echo of the Red Army in Jiangxi, forced the Japanese to concentrate all their attention on the newly swallowed northeast. For the time being, we will ignore the changes in South China. The Red Army offered to ask for an armistice. It was too late for the Nanjing Nationalist Government to kneel and beg. Where is the willingness to give up the "peace" that was so hard to come by for this kind of thing.

And the British blockade of the coast is also just a lie and intimidation, and the Qinhua area in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River is still in the artillery party-controlled area, if it really tears its face. It would definitely be taken by the Red Army unceremoniously, and even Shanghai could be lost, and the British government could not afford such huge losses. In the process, Hannah asked Germany to intercede again, joining forces with the Americans, and under the banner of "respecting China's sovereignty", the British demanded that the British give up the right of passage in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River.

And the Americans, so they were drawn in by the Germans, but they took a fancy to a new investment point and wanted to open a breakthrough in the Red Army. In the eyes of the Americans, the Nationalist Government in Nanjing was already in a mess and could not be put on the wall, and taking advantage of this opportunity to befriend the Red Army could also leave an additional preparatory channel for the future interests of the United States in China. The imperialist countries have never been monolithic, and for the sake of interests, they sometimes join forces, and more often they even fight each other.

The negotiations between the British and the Red Army finally came to an end, and the British Empire, which was desperate for face, refused to sign this "loss of national body" treaty, but after December 1934, with the construction of several river defense batteries in the Jiujiang section of the Yangtze River of the Red Army, the Yangtze River section of the upper reaches of the Jiujiang River could no longer see a single foreign warship entering and leaving here. The British, by default, admitted that they had given up the right of way in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River.

The British lost face in China and let the whole world see the weakening of the British Empire. After Hitler (Hannah) came to power, Germany's national strength was rapidly recovering, and when she proposed to limit herself to the Anglo-German Naval Treaty, the British were happy to sign it. The reason why Hannah proposed a 40% quota to the British instead of the historical 35% was because she knew the bottom line of British tolerance through the historical sources of later generations.

For the Germans, the signing of the Anglo-German Naval Treaty was a heavy victory. At this time, the total tonnage of the German navy was less than 3% of that of the British, almost a blank sheet of paper, and the 40% tonnage limit allowed the Germans to go all out to expand their navy.

A week before the agreement was signed, the battleship "Deutschland" visited Britain, nominally a friendly visit, but in reality it was a spy mission. Hannah was on board at that time, and taking the opportunity of a "friendly" visit, the battleship "Deutschland" approached a bunch of British battleships, and "scanned" their hull structure, armor layout, main gun structure, and other aspects in detail. At that time, in order to give the Germans a disadvantage, the British Navy took the initiative to pull a total of 12 battleships and two aircraft carriers around the Deutschland for "onlookers and demonstrations" and sent all the information to the Germans like food. Although Hannah has the information obtained by later generations, it is not too complete after all, and a "look" on the scene can make up for the defects.

However, what Hannah really wanted to collect during this trip was information on the structural layout of British aircraft carriers. Germany lacks experience in the design of aircraft carriers, and it is the quickest way to refer to the layout and design ideas of British aircraft carriers.

As early as 1932, a week after Hitler came to power, and a week after Hannah met with Hindenburg and Raeder, the German Navy began secret design work on the next generation, a new 40,000-ton warship.

That's right, it's 40,000 tons, after knowing the future historical trend. Both Hitler and Raeder kicked the Scharnhorst-class battleship directly into the Atlantic, and from the very beginning made up their minds to break through the limitations of the "Versailles Treaty" and the treaty ships created by the British, and directly designed the new warship in the way they wanted.

But there was one problem that faced the Germans at that time, and that was the great damage caused by the Treaty of Versailles to the construction of the German navy. Under the restrictions of the Treaty of Versailles, the design of large warships in the German Navy was strictly forbidden, the old design team was forcibly disbanded, and there was no experience in the design of large warships for a full fifteen years. Historically, the Bismarck was ridiculed by the "German Hei" as "the strongest battleship of the First World War", which is also for this reason. At that time, the Third Reich was unable to come up with new designs at all. Only the blueprints of the Bayern-class battleships designed during the First World War can be taken out. On this basis, it was enlarged, tinkered, and finally a World War II battleship with heavy traces of "World War I Jutland" on its body.

And this plane, this problem in Germany also exists. Luckily. Hannah as the soul of the ship. Before the crossing, a large number of designs of the warships of various naval powers in World War II were collected. In particular, the design sketches of the British avantgarde-class warships, which were built only after World War II.

The battleship Avantgarde was the last class battleship designed and built by the British. In response to the shortcomings of the previous generation of King George V-class seaworthiness, the avant-garde optimized the design of the ship and improved the bow freeboard. In order to make the seaworthy performance very good, and to improve the design of the watertight compartment structure, among all the battleships of World War II, the design of the avant-garde was the most suitable for the harsh combat environment of the Atlantic, and its design ideas were of great reference value to the German Navy.

Although Hannah can't get the complete design drawings of the "perfect battleship", she can come up with the design ideas of the "perfect battleship" built by countless battleship enthusiasts in later generations. Among those battleship enthusiasts, there are many professional ship designers, and the idea of "perfect battleship" designed by many people is of great reference value.

After absorbing the ideas of these people, Hannah, as the soul of the ship, went down by herself and drew a sketch of the design of the new generation of German battleships, which determined the development direction of its mine protection design, armor distribution, firepower layout, ship design and many other indicators. After determining the general direction, the details were handed over to the warship designers who were secretly organized to build it.

Although the Germans began the design of the new battleship in September 1932, after all, there were too many debts in front of them and they lacked the design experience of the 40,000-ton battleship, and although Hannah helped determine the general direction, the design drawings of the new battleship could not be determined until March 1934. In the end, Hannah secretly cooperated with the Italians, and under the guise of "designing a new warship for the Soviet Union", she invited Italian designers to help assist, and completed the design drawings at the end of that year.

In fact, with Hannah's metal shaping ability, even if the design drawings of the battleship are flawed and insufficient, it is not difficult to repair. But in order for the German design team to mature as soon as possible, she still rushed to the shelves to force them to design on the basis of their own plans to cultivate experience to make up for the fifteen years of debt. Spending a lot of money to invite the Italians to cooperate, more to absorb the advantages of the Italians in the design of warships.

Although the design drawings of the new generation of Scharnhorst-class battleships were difficult to produce for more than two years to complete, various preparations for the manufacture of the ship, such as a large dock, a giant gantry crane, a 50,000-ton roller, and a gadolinium steel machine, had already been prepared in advance. While Britain and Germany were still negotiating the "Anglo-German Naval Treaty", German steel mills had already begun to manufacture steel for warship keels.

On 17 February 1935, three days after the signing of the Anglo-German Naval Treaty, the first keel of the Scharnhorst was laid in the harbor of Kiel. And on this day, the battleship Deutschland, which had returned from England, under the pretext of "maintenance", also stopped next to the dry dock for the construction of the battleship "Scharnhorst".

The keel laying process of the battleship "Scharnhorst" was very fast, and his first keel was different, Hannah's spiritual core, the bow of the battleship Deutschland was dismantled, placed on the keel steel, and then the two were merged.

Then, the other steel that makes up the keel is arranged around this steel. In this process, not a single rivet was used for the laying of the keel, and no welding was used. Shipbuilders simply use a crane to move the steel to a designated location, and Hannah uses her metal fusion ability to soften the parts that need to be riveted or welded, and then fuse them together.

Although the dry dock for the construction of the battleship "Scharnhorst" was large, there were not many workers at the design site of the keel shop. In addition to the necessary on-site engineer to provide guidance, there are only workers who operate the crane and are responsible for lifting the steel. Kiel was the stronghold of the Sapphiroth cult, and among its followers were shipyard workers, and the workers who were selected to build the ships were fanatical believers in Hannah and Germany. Until the keel of the Scharnhorst was laid, none of these workers would be allowed to go home, and they would be able to eat, live and sleep in the shipyard. As compensation, the German government paid them three times their salary.

Today's Germany is on the rise of a general reconstruction, and although the official demands are somewhat inhumane, none of these workers complains. Hannah's soul melts into the bow of the ship. They felt the fanatical sense of faith coming from them -- on the eve of the keel laying, Father Hank held a large prayer ceremony for the construction of the new ship in Kiel, declaring that the "Scharnhorst"-class battleship to be built was to be built by "Gabriel. Sephiroth "The warship that your lord has blessed you." The workers who are now working in the field are now working with the utmost devotion. The phenomenon of automatic keel fusion that occurred in front of them. It deepened the devotion of these workers.

Hannah today. Have enough faith power to build ships with luxury. The new film "The Legend of King Arthur" has been completed, and it will bring more power of faith to her after it is broadcast. This keel integration shipbuilding method not only makes the load-bearing parts of the warship stronger and more stable. Less steel is also consumed. German ship designers have calculated that although the ship is designed according to the standard of 40,000 tons, but with this "magical" keel integration process, the weight can be saved at least 2,000 tons in terms of load-bearing alone, and if the additional weight reduction brought about by the rabbit riveting is deducted, it is conservatively estimated that this 40,000-ton warship can be built with the standard of 35,000 to 36,000 tons. The weight savings allowed the Scharnhorst to be equipped with thicker armor and larger guns - the Scharnhorst-class battleships under construction did not have a caliber of 283 mm guns, but 406 mm, which the German Navy had never been equipped with.

The use of metal fusion capabilities for keel and hull integration was tested by Hannah on the "Deutschland" pocket battleship last year and achieved satisfactory results. After the completion of the overhaul, the 11,000-ton Deutschland was reduced in weight instead of increasing, and was forced to lose 500 tons of weight -- this is also due to the fact that the ship was equipped with many auxiliary guns, and the weight increased greatly. Using this ability to integrate against the sky to build ships, the warships of the German Navy are inherently weight-reducing by more than 10% compared to warships of other countries of the same class.

It is precisely with this ability as a hole card that in the Atlantic, Hannah is fully confident that after the completion of this 40,000-ton Shann-class battleship, its comprehensive combat power can surpass that of the United States' 45,000-class Iowa-class battleships - although the Iowa-class battleship is powerful, he sacrificed a lot of things in order to pursue high speed and be limited by the Panama Canal, and the hull design is extremely unsuitable for the sea conditions of the Atlantic, and it will be very tragic when fighting in the Atlantic. (Historically, after World War II, the Iowa-class battleships once conducted exercises with the last battleship of the British in the North Sea area of the Atlantic, and the result was a humiliating 10:0 by the British in bad sea conditions).

Hannah confidently said to Lin Han: "As long as there are two such warships, combined with my perception and ranging ability, I am confident that I can face four or even five George V-class battleships head-on in a naval battle!" ”

With two Shann-class battleships, plus two follow-up Bismarck-class battleships, with aircraft carriers to assist in combat, coupled with her own "ship soul" ability, Hannah was fully confident that she could destroy the British Royal Navy in a naval battle in a confrontation of big ships and huge guns.

The second ship of the Schahn-class battleship, the Gneisenau, was built three days behind the Scharnholt, and the keel integration was carried out by Linhan at the Hamburg shipyard.

In order to speed up the progress, the workers of the two shipyards worked in three shifts during the wartime, and the keel laying work was surprisingly fast, and the keels of the two ships were laid in less than two months. Hannah and Lin Han then temporarily removed the spirit core from the keel and left the shipyard workers to carry out the rest of the construction work using traditional methods. According to the plan, Hannah will return to the warship "Jiling" after the hull is basically completed, and continue the unfinished "integration project".

Hannah's battleship Scharnhorst, whose keel was laid, was dismantled purely in order to enter the aircraft carrier "Zeppelin" and build the ship's keel in the same way. Due to the harsh sea conditions and unique geographical environment of the North Atlantic, the use of aircraft carriers is greatly restricted, but the lack of air supremacy in naval warfare is also extremely dangerous. The Germans had a worse background in aircraft carriers than battleships, and their experience in both construction and use was a blank slate, so Hannah would stay on him for a long time until it was completed.

And Lin Han left the Gneisenau after completing the keel integration, and was sent by Hannah on a round-the-world trip, which should be said to be a round-the-world killing. The massacre of scientists in 1932, which had cooled down for two years, is now ready for action again. In the two years since the Saphiroth returned to Germany, it has undergone another high-speed transformation, demolished most of the buildings on the upper part of the hull, and the power system has also been greatly reformed, replaced with a new turbocharged new diesel, and the propeller has also been replaced with a new five-bladed streamlined propeller, with a maximum speed of 31 per hour when sailing at sea, which is an out-and-out water speedboat.
