Chapter 326: A New Role of Hypnosis
Xu Fei was able to tell the story of the German army's construction of the Scharnhorst-class battlecruisers, and Andrew thought that this was the news revealed by his brother, but he guessed wrong. Mo didn't know anything about the battleship;
Although Xu Fei is not a military encyclopedia, there are some things that he will remember after reading them, and this strange battle cruiser is the first large warship of the German army in the entire World War II.
This heavy cruiser, which was used by the Germans to resist the Dunkirk-class battleships, had much thicker armor on the front and rear sides, but the power of his own cannon was much lower;
Of course, what Xu Fei wanted was not the kind of big man who seemed to be a little passive, he wanted to help the German army get a large battleship that would cause a naval arms race in the future, and the Huaxia Navy was temporarily wandering in its own waters, and only after defeating Japan did it slowly study the affairs of the world.
Xu Fei thought about it very far, but he didn't believe that this family could completely change the mind of the madman, so he began to ask tentatively step by step.
"Mr. Xu is really well-informed, this kind of battle patrol should have only started laying the keel in the past few days, and even his estimated displacement is clear, this level of war patrol began to build a total of two ships at the same time at the Deutsche Shipbuilding Company and Wilhelm Shipbuilding Company in Kiel;
If Mr. Xu needed such a war patrol, it might be easy, because the German government was also short of money, and if there was a suitable order to pay, it would be regarded as solving a huge economic problem for the German government;
But you said that you need an improved version of the standard battleship, which requires a redesign of the improved blueprints. I don't know if the above will agree to me in that case;
As for whether our family's influence can make the German top brass change their minds, I don't think even our family head can guarantee that naval training involves the Admiralty. These are not something that we as a business family can control. Andrew frowned and thought for a while before saying.
Xu Fei nodded, this is the normal performance of a family, if they can really easily sway the will of the madman, then Xu Fei has to wonder who caused World War II, he smiled and said:
"In that case, I will not consider him for the time being, but in addition to this, I would like to purchase four heavy cruisers, six light cruisers, thirty-five destroyers, and a number of other supply and transport ships. As for the matter of the battleship, I am going to go to Germany to talk to the Greek Prime Minister in person, and I wonder if your family can make a match. ”
There is a bait for this to go down, and Xu Fei believes that he will always catch big fish. What's more, the bait he placed was not ordinary, four heavy cruisers worth 20 million German marks, plus light cruisers and destroyers, it was not a small deal, if it could be negotiated for two large battleships. That's a business of one or two hundred million;
Although Xu Fei has already spent 200 million yuan, he is constantly buying equipment and recruiting workers. But those things are often accumulated by millions of tons of equipment, and it doesn't seem to be as cost-effective as these warships of thousands of tons and tens of thousands of tons.
Andrew was really stunned by Xu Fei's words, he looked at Xu Fei and couldn't help but say in surprise:
"So many warships!"
"Is this a lot, now the Japanese have several battleships, a lot of heavy cruisers, dozens of light cruisers, hundreds of destroyers, and a few aircraft carriers they have built. And they are constantly building new warships;
If the annihilating Japanese army cannot have its own warships in a short time, then we will have to hide on the shore and fight their army. With those warships, even if we use them as shore artillery defense, it is better than undefended in the sea area. Xu Fei said with a solemn face.
There was helplessness in his tone, sadness and some self-deprecation, as he spoke, he continued to change his facial muscles, which was the hypnotism he began to use to gradually improve to confuse Andrew, as his tone and facial expression changed, Andrew also began to follow his face began to become joyful and sad and constantly transformed.
"I wonder if the German top brass will agree to build so many warships, but now that the economy of Germany and the whole of Europe is in recession, there is such a large-scale injection of funds, not only for the government to make money, but also for more unemployed people to work;
Our head of the family has a good relationship with Prime Minister Xi, he should be able to take you to meet Prime Minister Xi, and if you can convince him, maybe the battleship thing you mentioned will be easy to succeed. Andrew seemed to be in a state of confusion and began to answer Xu Fei's question.
Xu Fei smiled secretly, although his improved hypnotism is not as powerful as that mana hypnotism, it can't completely change a person's will and thoughts, at most, it can be used to talk and ask about things, but this kind of hypnotism only costs a negligible amount of mana, let alone merit points, and the most important thing is that it can be used in front of people without being suspected.
"Well, then, I'm going to go to Germany, but I have to leave in three days' time, and you can send a telegram to your family informing them that I'm going;
Then you and I will go to Mongolia, then take a train from Urabaatar to Moscow, then take a train to Minsk, Belarus, and then get a train to Warsaw, Poland, and from where to Berlin, Germany;
I calculated that it would take nearly 20 days to travel, but it was about 10 days faster than taking a ship, and the most important one was safer. Xu Fei thought about it in his heart and said.
In fact, he still has a route in mind, that is, to go to the United States first, cross the American continent and then go to Franklin in Germany by airship, but the time is not very stable, he doesn't know if the airship that only happened once in ten days in this era coincides with the time when he went, even if he can catch up with that time and take a steamer.
As for airplanes, there were no air passenger flights in China at this time, and even if they arrived in Soviet Russia, there were no planes to other countries, so it was best to choose to take a train to Belarus and then cross the border to Poland.
Of course, Xu Fei has a faster way, running alone, with his speed of 150 meters per second, even if he avoids people on the road, he can reach Germany in two or three days at most;
But if he does that, don't talk about others, it is estimated that people who have a little head in the Japanese army will think that Xu Fei is too magical, even if he is a legendary land immortal, it is also the category of martial artists, a thousand miles a day is just his explosive speed, if you really run thousands of miles a day, even a super martial artist will be exhausted to death.
"Well, I'm going to Germany with you, but I've heard that there is a big movement going on in Soviet Russia and it's very chaotic, and I'm a German-Polish and I guess I'll be suspicious of them." Andrew nodded. (To be continued......)
