Chapter 325: Battleship Purchase Plan
Xu Fei quietly looked at Andrew's face with a seductive look and listened to him quietly, as for what he said, he also wanted to know what Lu Dao was, and it was worth sending someone to negotiate. After Andrew finished speaking for the time being, Xu Fei smiled and asked:
"I don't know what Lu Dao has in your family or what way to cooperate with me, you must know that Lu Dao and I am a small local magistrate in Huaxia, if you want to cooperate, you should also find Xiang Bai Chongxi or some big master like Yan Xishan, right?"
Andrew shook his head and smiled:
"Will they be able to wave out a few hundred million Deutsche marks? Will they be able to take so much territory out of the Japanese in a few months? Originally, our head of the family needed to wait until the Japanese army had a stable territory before asking me to negotiate with Mr. Xu;
However, we did not expect that Mr. Xu's exterminating army had taken the entire Liaodong Peninsula, which was a huge shock to us, I was still at sea, and the head of the family sent a telegram asking me to contact Mr. Xu.
As for the way of cooperation......"
Andrew paused slightly, and when he saw Xu Fei looking at him with a light smile, he sat upright and said with a solemn expression:
"Mr. Xu should know that Germany is now subject to arms control treaties and cannot produce large weapons and equipment, of course, we know from Hanni that Mr. Xu already knows that Germany is secretly producing large weapons and warships;
In total there were three large shipyards in Germany, and four or five small and medium-sized shipyards, which had a total of eighteen large docks, dozens of small and medium-sized docks, and now there were six docks for the secret production of small battleships and battlecruisers. The other dockyards are idle;
Our family had a large stake in these shipyards, and we learned that the territory of the Japanese army was close to the sea, and there was a heavy Japanese army and the threat of enemy warships around it. So we want to know if Mr. Lu Daoxu has any plans to build a warship? ”
Xu Fei sighed slightly in his heart, Yu Shuaihu and Chen Jigang, who he sent to Germany, were mainly for this matter, and they were in contact with high-level German officials at the moment, in order to get the Germans to help build warships;
I didn't expect things to be done over there, this Hanny. Mo's family actually hides such an ability;
Xu Fei despised Hanny. Mo was actually squeezed out of Huaxia to do small business, it seems that he is not valued at all in the family, if it weren't for Xu Fei giving him this opportunity to make a fortune. It is estimated that their family will continue to exclude him, and he doesn't even know that the family has such a big business in Germany, and he can be regarded as declining enough.
"Production warships?" Xu Fei pretended to be very puzzled and asked.
He knew that the current Japanese army was destroyed even if it had large equipment and a shipyard. It is not possible to produce large warships by itself in two or three years, and let a country like Germany, which already has mature technology and capabilities, help to manufacture it, and the production cycle can be completed in about two years at most;
When the time comes, the people sent to Germany to study and the navy trained in Dalian can go and drive the warships back, so that the Japanese army will have a few years to fight and train with the Japanese devils while waiting for the start of World War II;
The most critical one. Manufacture of battleships in Germany. It can let the madman relieve a lot of pressure from the country, in that case, it will also be of great help to the implementation of the madman's crazy plan, although Xu Fei hates the invasion of Huaxia by others, but as long as it is not against his own aggression, he still prefers to watch the excitement and even add fuel to the fire.
Seeing Xu Fei's surprised look, Andrew didn't feel strange, and Andrew continued in his somewhat serious voice:
"Recently, China has suddenly sent thousands of men from Shanghai, Tianjin, Guangzhou, and Fujian to Germany and Britain to learn how to operate warships, although we do not know whose men they were. But we understand that China also wants to have a complete and powerful navy to protect the sea frontier;
Since Mr. Xu is the lord of an army and the chief officer of a place. Then you don't want your coastline to be bombarded by the enemy's naval guns at any time, and you are always worried that the enemy will land and attack from a certain sea area, right? ”
Xu Fei smiled secretly in his heart, he was not worried about the enemy's shelling from the sea at all, and now the people in the more than 100-kilometer range on the east side of the peninsula who were not within the defense range of the vanguard cannon have all withdrawn inland, and the coastal garrisons have begun to build anti-artillery fortifications;
It is estimated that the Japanese garrisons on the line from Jinzhou to Tangshan and Tianjin are still worried that they will secretly send people to attack them, and the devils in the Bohai Sea without warships will also have a restless life.
Xu Fei pretended to be constantly pondering and entangled, and the expression on his face became under the urging of mana, so that Andrew could easily see Xu Fei's extremely painful choice, torturing his face and Andrew's eyes for a while, Xu Fei asked with a wry smile:
"I heard that building warships is very expensive, and it still needs to be maintained and repaired, and there are many naval officers who need to be trained, even with these, the navy does not have much combat effectiveness in a short period of time, hey......"
Xu Fei shook his head solemnly, closed his eyes and opened them again, and said:
"I also want to buy some warships to protect our sea frontier, but how to solve the problem of the expensive price and maintenance of warships, plus the need to train the navy?"
Andrew saw that Xu Fei didn't want to buy a battleship, and saw that Xu Fei was worried about the price of battleships, the maintenance of battleships, and the lack of a navy, although he couldn't be the master of these things, but his family master, who was secretly funding the madman, should have a way, he smiled and said:
"Is Mr. Xu short of money? The cost of a light battleship is only 30 million German marks, a heavy cruiser is only 5 million German ramaks, a light cruiser can be produced for only 1 million, and a destroyer is more than 800,000. ”
Xu Fei continued to shake his head and said:
"Since I want battleships, it is impossible to just buy some small battleships back, it is said that the German Navy has designed and started to produce a battle cruiser with a displacement of 26,000 tons, it seems to be called the Scharnhorst class, right?
It is said that your President Hindenburg and Prime Minister of Greece agreed to the construction of this special battle cruiser in order to resist the French Dunkirk-class battleships, and finally informed the British Empire;
Now our country is being ravaged and exploited by the Japanese invaders, and it is the enemy's warships cruising on the sea frontier, so I would like to order two improved standard battleships of the Scharnhorst class;
Because this is a Chinese warship, those naval agreements and arms control treaties will not put pressure on Germany, and they will not be sanctioned for helping other countries build large warships.
But our navy talent is still a big problem...... I don't know if your family has a solution to this matter? (To be continued......)
