It can be seen that the design scheme of the Hindenburg-class battleship has undergone subversive changes compared with the original ones, and the time required to adjust the design for this purpose is naturally not short, but anyway, the two 70,000-ton docks in Qingdao are still under construction at this time, and these two ships cannot be built now, so there is no need to be too anxious in time.

In fact, at the beginning, the German Navy even expressed strong doubts about whether the Chinese could build the two giant dockyards before the end of 1940. However, Shen Hong, who was appointed as the commander-in-chief of Qingdao Shipbuilding Engineering Construction, showed his green system engineering attainments, not only fully mobilized the enthusiasm of all the participants, but also almost did not waste even a little time, almost miraculously in the first half of 1940 to build these two top modern giant shipyards in Asia ahead of schedule, which took only a little more than two years (PS: By the way, Historically, New China jumped from a 25,000-ton dock to a 300,000-ton dock, and it took only more than five years to build it without any experience, which is also a miracle. During this period, he also presided over the completion of the imitation of the German 15,000-ton free-type hydraulic press and 30,000-ton die forging hydraulic press, which made the German personnel all admired, especially after everyone learned that Shen Hong had not even finished primary school. And Hu Weidong also realized that perhaps he had already attached great importance to Shen Hong before, but he still underestimated this once-in-a-century genius

In fact, although Shen Hong's contribution to the industrialization process of New China is rare, he has wasted so much time in history that it is hard to imagine what amazing miracle Shen Hong could have created if he had been given the most haode working environment.

Before the Anti-Japanese War, although Shen Hong had become a successful small business owner through his own efforts from an apprentice who had not graduated from elementary school, Shen Hong had wasted his most precious youth at this time (he did not receive formal higher education, nor did he accept the baptism of industrial mass production). ）。 After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Shen Hong defected to Yan'an with his machines and workers. Although he made great efforts to resist the war and liberation, as far as he was concerned, it was difficult for him to grow much in the small workshop in the ravine. After the statehood. Although Shen Hong has rapidly grown into an outstanding engineer and industrial management talent at the Shijie level through hard self-study and practice, his encounters in the past few decades have actually been quite unsmooth, and the reason for this can be said that he "does not know how to adapt to the times". In the era of emphasizing self-reliance, he proposed that he could not build cars behind closed doors, and as a result, he was criticized in that decade; And a period of time after the reform and opening up. In the face of the craze for the introduction of Jishu, he criticized all kinds of foreign flattery and pointed out that the tradition of self-reliance could not be abandoned, and as a result, he was besieged by a group and forced to leave his front-line job early (for an expert who loves scientific research, working in the frontline of scientific research until death is far happier than "living at home")

In fact, what Shen Hong said is not wrong at all, but the country is always subordinate, and political correctness is far more important than seeking truth from facts. Naturally, he can't eat this kind of straightness, unless there is a leader who can give him full trust and reuse, or he himself has a high enough status and power", Hu Weidong thought of this, and finally clenched his fists. A big decision was made.

Not long after, Hu Weidong ignored the criticism of "cronyism" and appointed Shen Hong, who was still young, as the minister of industry of the Central Plains Liberated Zone, with full responsibility for coordinating and guiding the industrial construction of the Liberated Zone, and Shen Hong did not disappoint Hu Weidong, and the speed of industrialization in the Central Plains Liberated Area during his term of office was significantly accelerated, even exceeding when Hu Weidong was personally in charge. This experience laid the foundation for Shen Hong to serve as the Minister of Machinery Industry after the founding of the People's Republic of China (although his status is not as good as the core ministries and commissions of the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of National Defense, but it is much higher than that of ordinary ministries and commissions, because several ministries and commissions under his jurisdiction are also ministerial-level units) and even later served as the vice premier of the Government Council in charge of national industrial construction

Although it is true that the construction of battleships can significantly improve the overall industrial level of the backward industrial countries, Hu Weidong's attention and devotion to the Hindenburg-class battleships is not unrelated to his personal interest. In contrast, Hu Weidong took the initiative to win over the construction of the Zeppelin aircraft carrier, which was entirely due to the value of the aircraft carrier itself, whether it can be used in China or not, it is always not wrong to reserve the relevant jishu first, anyway, with the Germans providing all-round support, it is much faster than groping alone in the future.

However, although the jishu content of the aircraft carrier in World War II is not as high as that of later generations, it is not something that can be built and formed combat effectiveness casually, and the United States, Japan and Britain that had strong aircraft carrier combat power during World War II in history began to study during the end of the first Shijie War to the early 20s, and after twenty or thirty years of accumulation, there was a glory during World War II, and the aircraft carriers of Germany and Italy that lacked the corresponding foundation all died halfway, which is enough to explain the problem. In fact, from the perspective of Hu Weidong, a traverser, the Count Zeppelin, the German aircraft carrier that was ultimately not completed in history, can only be described as "rotten" (but no matter what, it is an aircraft carrier after all, and for China, which is impossible to obtain the aircraft carrier Jishu from the United States, Japan and Britain, it is already very lucky to be able to help Germany build Zeppelin this time.
