At the beginning of the First World War, the German Navy had a total of 48 submarines of 13 different classes, of which only 29 were in service, and the rest were still under construction.

U-submarines are generally less than 1,000 tons in size, only 29 in number when the war was launched, and the surface speed is about 12 knots, and the underwater speed is less than 10 knots, which is slow compared with ordinary warships, but they sank millions of tons of Allied ships in four years from 1914 to 1918, and the record is amazing. I'm not worried about the price of this submarine now, I'm worried that I won't have the land to buy it! Hahaha! ”

At this time, the venue began to exchange ears, and many people were asking the people around them who knew how to tell the truth of the matter. And a person from the direct family had already run to the podium, grabbed the collar of Deputy County Magistrate Xu and asked, "Did Zhejiang people open 1.35 million just now?" Are you sure it's 1.35 million? Lao Tzu out 1.45 million! Our Jixian County is going to be decided! ”

"1.5 million! I am from heaven, who dares to fight with me! ”

"1.55 million, we in Guangdong are not like some people who bully others, what we have is money!"

"1.6 million, our boss bought a house to live in with 1.4 million, I believe he doesn't care about this little money!" In a corner, a Shandong accent suddenly appeared.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Ladies and gentlemen! When Deputy County Magistrate Xu saw that the scene was about to get out of control, he quickly jumped out, "I haven't finished talking just now!" There are three more nearby contents to talk about! For the sake of the coastal defense lines of our coastal provinces, we county magistrates have 10 "U" submarines to sell this time! ”

"Ten? How could there be so many! "The auction site, which was still restrained, suddenly turned into a vegetable market!

"These submarines were built by German engineers in other secret places, and did not belong to the original German Empire. So rest assured, they came from the U35, which was taken to the U35 that was interned in Spain and subsequently surrendered to France, and eventually sent to England. "Deputy County Magistrate Xu is now reading according to the script, no matter what is said below, I will talk about it after the introduction.

"Wow! It's not original! Such a submarine should also be sold so expensive! You are a deceitful man! ”

"We only announced that we would sell 1 million, and you will have to increase the price of the rest!"

"This kind of counterfeit also costs 1 million, we won't buy it!"

"What did you just say?" Adjutant Lin suddenly rushed to the stage and grabbed Deputy County Magistrate Xu's collar, this poor fat county magistrate was pulled by the collar for the second time today.

"These submarines were built by German engineers in other secret places, and they do not belong to the original German Empire, so please rest assured that the submarines are coming from." Deputy County Magistrate Xu said with difficulty.

"It's not this one, there's another!" Adjutant Lin squeezed even tighter.

"And? Oh, and they were based on the U35 who was interned in Spain and subsequently surrendered to France. Deputy County Magistrate Xu's fat body was actually lifted up by Adjutant Lin, so frightened that he didn't have time to hesitate and immediately spoke.

"Is it really the U35? Are you sure? "Adjutant Lin got the information he wanted, but he asked for confirmation again! I worked hard for a long time to find it, and then I estimated that this should be the U21 in the early stage of World War I, but I didn't expect it to be U35.

This U35 is a killer in the sea! It alone sank 226 ships with a total displacement of more than 500,000 tons. Just by looking at this record, you can know the performance of this submarine. But can Zhao Yun really get this kind of high-quality goods? It can't be an embroidered pillow, right?

"We are not bullied, Lord Lin, you can also take a look at our previous goods? What's not a good thing that you can't see from the outside? Deputy County Magistrate Xu was already frightened and incoherent.

Adjutant Lin put Deputy County Magistrate Xu down in a timely manner, on the one hand, because this guy was so fat that he couldn't carry it anymore; On the other hand, it is because he has made so many transactions with Zhao Yun, and he has never suffered a loss in the things he bought. "They don't buy it, we buy it, but Deputy County Magistrate Xu asks you to finish the rest of the article."

"The first article has been said, the second is to achieve the three-guarantee system, within one year of problem replacement, within three years of problem repair, within five years of parts replacement!"

After speaking, Deputy County Magistrate Xu looked at the representatives of this group of various forces, and everyone was silent this time, so he continued to say while sorting out his clothes, "The third is that we will ask German instructors to teach your boaters how to use them by hand. Ladies and gentlemen, let me say a word, ten! How useful ten submarines can be, some of you should know! How the navy of the German Empire competed with Great Britain! Our Chinese navy has been completely defeated since the First Sino-Japanese War, and now it can only effectively imitate the practices of the German Empire. 1 million, now that there is an arms embargo, where can you buy submarines if you have money! 3 million ships are of such good quality, and those people won't sell them to you! You should all run through the consulates of various countries, it will be more troublesome to buy an airplane cannon, or the high price will be offered, and people will not sell it, so it will be good to ask grandpa to sue grandma! The last sentence said to the heart of the current representative, for the sake of weapons, who here has not eaten the nagging of foreigners!

"No more nonsense! I bought it for the Fujian Navy, 10 ships for 14.5 million, package and sell it to me! The representative of Fujian Wang Yongquan shouted that since the war in Anhui, Li Houji, the overseer of Fujian, tried to attach himself to his direct line, and at this time, Qi Ruiai fled Xu Shuzheng from Beijing to Fuzhou, and instigated Wang Yongquan, the commander of the 24th Mixed Brigade in Fujian, to drive Li and act as an assistant. So at this time, Fujian's control power was in the hands of the Anhui system again, but I don't know how long this situation can last. However, it is obvious that at present Zhejiang and Fujian are both people on the same boat, and although I don't know what kind of crazy thing Zhejiang's deputies are smoking today, and shaking out all the knowledge of submarines, it is obvious that these submarines are very much needed weapons for coastal Fujian.

"Why! This is an auction, Wang Yongquan's name as a small brigade commander is not easy to use, Xu Shuzheng is almost the same if he comes in person, you still have to fight for real money 1.6 million boats, buy five, I don't like some people who eat alone! A thin man in ordinary clothes replied that he could shake out some well-known secrets with one mouth, and the Fujian representative couldn't figure out the other party's path for a while, and he didn't dare to accept it.

"You Yayi Shanxi representative also bought a submarine, you put it in the Yellow River, you drive it! Rich landowner, on behalf of Zhang Dashuai, I buy five ships, 1.8 million one! Shouting a mouthful of Northeast dialect, a man in the corner of the pimple spoke.

"18 million, Zhejiang is all inclusive!" Adjutant Sun knew that in case the Lu Inspectors and Qi Inspectors fought, with these submarines, they could completely block the mouth of the Yangtze River.

Adjutant Sun knew that Zhao Yun must have hidden a hand in secret, but he couldn't show weakness on the surface! The forces of all parties knew that this was a good time, and they made a big move, and finally they were stuck at the price of 1.85 million ships, Fujian, Zhejiang, and Jiangsu got two, and Guangdong won the remaining four, but the Guangzhou government only won one, and the others were won by various forces in Guangdong.

"Okay! Please fill out this list and bring someone to the training then! Deputy County Magistrate Xu saw that he had tens of thousands of oceans in his pocket, and smiled like a flower.

"Here's the last item, the battleship."

"Shhh There was a sound of inhalation at the auction site!

Damn, the battleships have all come out, and the people who rushed to rob the submarine in front of them suddenly regretted it. What are you doing with battleships and submarines?

When Deputy County Magistrate Xu saw this thing appear on the list for the first time, his feet were also weak. But then it was held up by the huge pumping.

But at this time, looking at the wolf-like green eyes of everyone in the audience, I could only read the manuscript hard, "This auction is the Nassau-class battleship of the German Empire, which is the first modern dreadnought built by the German Navy to confront the British Royal Navy Dreadnought. There are four ships in total, named after Germany's four major industrial provinces - Nassau, Westfalen, Rheinland, and Posen.

Because it was based on the new British dreadnoughts, the first new battleships designed by the German Royal Navy were very different from the earlier ones. But the difference with the British Dreadnought was that it used 6 twin 280-caliber guns, which had a much faster rate of fire than the British Navy's naval guns, and could guarantee that eight main guns would fire at the same time in each direction of the ship's side, so it was more firepower than the Dreadnought.

In terms of power, the Germans used the old three-cylinder reciprocating steam engine, which was safe and reliable, and did not use a large steam turbine like the dreadnought. Although this one is more old-fashioned, it also participated in the Battle of Jutland. After the Battle at Sea, the British Navy remained in the harbor until the end of the war, thanks to the excellent blockade of the German High Seas Fleet by the British Navy.
