Chapter 40: Free Wheel (Collection Breaks Through Three Digits Plus Update)

"It's dangerous for you to do that. Pen %Fun %Cabinet www.biquge.info" Boris said directly as he came out of the room.

"What?" Wen Hui thought he was talking about the business of pedaling two boats.

"It's dangerous to be alone with such a dangerous person." Boris repeated, coming up and down to check Wenhui.

"It's okay, although the disgust of the other party is written on his face, but there is no danger to his life. Germania's partners forced them to sit down and talk to me. "Wen Hui is also looking at the dishes, and the current situation is not so bloody.

Put the weapon away, Boris sighed, looking at Wen Hui's appearance, he can only remember it if he suffers a loss, so let's watch it myself in the future.

After a simple freshening up, Wen Hui lay on the bed and began to think about the artillery. This is a bit difficult to do!

Although the artillery on the Germanian side is all "short and cute", they are all rear-loading guns, although because of the different firing power, the barrel design here is thick and short, but other aspects are not as backward as they seem.

Rear loading, optical equipment for improvised gun aiming, a theoretical system of artillery that has begun to take shape, and artillery shells with different functions and functions indicate that they have a specialized artillery unit. This also means that it is not easy to fool!

When chatting with the old man Walter, I learned that they abandoned the breech gun twenty years ago, and now it is completely the world of breech guns, so even the breech gun with a long barrel cannot be used as a selling point to attract the interest of the other party.

can only be mounted on the rear loading gun, and it can't be the original kind of rear loading gun, it is estimated that the rack and retreat guns of the World War I era can satisfy their appetite, thinking of this, Wen Hui couldn't help but sigh, how much money do you have to make less! The backward point of science and technology can be slowly updated, and this technology tree is not up or down, which is really a bit of a headache.

Thinking about it, Wen Hui fell asleep, at present, the artillery is not in a hurry to get on the horse, one is that they don't have much money to purchase artillery on a large scale, the price of artillery is nothing, what is expensive is the shells; The other Hess's current new army is still on paper, and although it is a definite thing, the official approval of the parliament has not yet come down, so the issue can be postponed.

Wen Hui was dragged up early the next morning, and yesterday at the reception he said that as long as the money was in place, his goods could be unloaded on the shore, but he didn't expect Walter, the old man, to be in such a hurry and come over early in the morning. dragged Wen Hui to the dock, and showed Wen Hui the first payment of five million in the carriage to completely drive away Wen Hui's sleepy worm, as long as the production equipment is installed and put into production, the remaining five million will be settled immediately, as for the share transfer agreement, it has been signed yesterday.

Looking at the docked ships, both sides twitched. The Liberty Ship in front of me was a serious American cargo, and at that time it was going out of the shipyard like dumplings, and there were enough Liberty Wheels to prop up the Anglo-American maritime logistics routes, and the Liberty Wheel, which had made great contributions in the war, was unceremoniously used by Black Fire to transport the production line.

The American ship transports German goods, or a thing of the times, which is really ironic, this is Wen Hui's emotion, and Walter doesn't think so, at that time, the free wheel, which was called "ugly duckling" because of its poor image, was a peerless beauty in his eyes.

First of all, the sails were abandoned, and you must know that this kind of all-steam-powered ships on their side only have this treatment for warships, and civilian ships are still in a state of mixed and matched power. Another is the size of the ship, the slender hull makes this cargo ship stand out from the crowd throughout the dock, attracting countless eyes as soon as it docks.

Walter exchanged glances with the people behind him, and it seemed that the force behind Dmitry was not only in the leading position in weapons manufacturing, but also in the shipbuilding industry, which is the industry that can best reflect the industrial level of a country, and the transport ship in front of him is a proof of this.

The Royal Arsenal not only produces land weapons, but also shipyards below. Walter knew at first sight that this cooperation was the right choice for them, breaking the monopoly of the Fowler family and gaining access to the latest vessels, and it was only a matter of time before they were exposed to this shipbuilding process as long as they continued to work together.

He had a stomach full of questions to ask when he saw the ship, but the focus today was not on what was in the belly of the ship. As soon as the ship came to a stop, it began to unload the cargo, and the wharf was closed early in the morning, and the people responsible for loading and unloading were all engineering troops, and the simple crane arm unloaded boxes of goods up and down, and the vehicles prepared in advance were loaded and immediately escorted by the army to depart.

The site selection has been completed for a long time, and the preliminary construction work was just completed yesterday, and now we are waiting to move the production line into it and then commission the equipment to start production. Originally, Walter was advised not to be in such a hurry, not to make preparations, and the equipment was idle when it went ashore, who knew that they had already been prepared.

"Dmitry, why don't you see rivets on this ship?" It was still boring to watch the unloading, and after Walter got on the boat and walked around, he couldn't help but be tempted to finally speak, and after a sentence, many people pricked up their ears and began to eavesdrop.

"Rivets?" Wen Hui was stunned for a moment, this is important news, it seems that their shipbuilding is still in the riveting era.

"It's ......" Walter thought Wen Hui was a layman, scratching his ears and cheeks to explain.

"I know, I know, this ship is not riveted but a new way of connecting." The current surface vessels are not on the list for sale, and Wen Hui does not want to explain too much.

"......" did not get an answer, and Walter thought that the other party had no intention of talking about cooperation, and believed that it was a technology that was forbidden to trade.

"Then your ship is too thin, this kind of iron piece is unreliable no matter how you look at it!" Hess, the army turtle next to him, interjected, but he didn't feel anything else, it was the thin hull and cabin structure that impressed him, Germania's warships were very thick, even the oldest civilian ships were wrapped in iron plates with wooden hulls, and in general they were all designed with great attention to protection.

"What's the difference?" Wen Hui stepped on the deck under his feet, "This is originally a transport ship, as long as it has the functions it should have, there is no need to spend too many resources in other aspects." ”

"In this way, the protection of the ship is insufficient, and it can be easily sunk." Due to the high cost of shipbuilding, Hess paid attention to the survivability of the ships, and it was common for ships to be patched and patched during the war.

"Is he a warship? To achieve the level of protection of a warship, then what else do you need a transport ship for? Just use warships and you're not done. But this is impossible, since this is the case, it is just the pursuit of the protection ability of the transport ship, anyway, no matter how much defense can not be done to the level of warships, in the event of an attack will eventually sink, then it is better to keep it floating, and the remaining resources I can build two more ships to make up for the lack of protection. Wen Hui shrugged.

Will the number of sacrifices be used to win, Walter nodded in the back, this is also a direction of development, but it remains to be demonstrated. For now, I'll have to ask if I can sell them a sample for them to study.

Such a large aspect ratio, the power system, the structural design of the interior of the cabin, and the design of the ship type are all worth studying. Although the main thing at the moment is the production line, Walter's heart has long flown to the shipyard, as long as the ship can be studied thoroughly, the relevant technology can be applied to the construction of warships.

When the time comes, the land will be superior, and then the sea will be superior, and then there will be no suspense about the outcome of this war. Thinking of this, Walter looked at Wen Hui with a little more eagerness, as long as he said that the merchant was moved, the remaining question was how to come up with the funds for the purchase. Through the communication with Hess, Walter also learned about Wenhui's character, as long as he has money, everything is easy to talk about, and the most important thing is that there are no political conditions attached to his deal, and there is no need to consider other issues outside of business, which is why the council agreed to the proposal to introduce the production line.

But the funds are a little tight recently, the cash needed for a production line has forced Walter enough, and finally the loan is enough to make up the money, and there is really no money left to think about the ship, as for the idea of fighting the magic guide legion, he does not have the courage yet, the last time Marshal Ernst embezzled military funds to purchase new equipment, although the witches did not say anything, but it does not mean that this kind of thing can come a second time.

If you want to use the money openly, you have to wait for the parliament to pass the proposal to cut the cost, and you can only hold back drooling for now.

And Wen Hui didn't expect that a simple transport freedom ship would make Walter think so much, and he was still thinking about how to sell them artillery.
