The naval dockyard in Kiel, Germany, Accardo visited the shipyards of the German Navy accompanied by several admirals. Two identical destroyers, known internally in the German Navy, are being produced here using the latest sectional construction technology, known internally as the Z-type ocean-going escort destroyers.

Apparently pleased with the pace of development of his forces, Raeder has now eliminated most of the old destroyers and torpedo boats in favor of twenty new Z-type ocean-going destroyers. The destroyers were still under construction, and the German Navy planned to eventually build up to sixty-seven destroyers.

The recent economic crisis has halved the size of the Allied Arms Control Committee in the port of Kiel, and their attention is now focused on the expanding German Army and the emerging Air Force, while naval surveillance has become dispensable.

The main reason for relaxing the surveillance of the German Navy is that the construction period of large warships is too long, and even if the surveillance is abandoned now, the German Navy will not have battleships and battlecruisers launched within two years, so the Allied Arms Control Committee is relieved and boldly reduces the monitoring force in the port of Kiel.

Accardo reported to the British Navy, and after some bargaining, he exchanged preferential policies such as grain exports for the understanding of the British, allowing Germany to build a limited submarine force at the military port of Kiel for what the Germans called maritime self-defense.

So recently the German Navy launched eight of the latest U-boats in one go at the Kiel military port, concealing the seven submarines it had earlier with the same port number, and maintaining an underwater force with fifteen of the most advanced ocean-going submarines.

In addition, Accardo also looked at two new battleships with strong German blood ordered by the British, which were produced by the British in response to the Soviet battleships, hoping to defend against the Soviet naval threat. However, recently there was information that the Soviets were making and buying submarines on a large scale, and the British Navy was having a headache, so they had to buy ten old destroyers from the United States to escort them.

Accardo was so pleased with the recent development of the Navy that he visited the shipyard's workers' canteen and the Navy's dormitories. He then inspected the air defense facilities around the naval base and watched the soldiers' emergency air defense drills.

Of course, this time in the port of Kiel, his main purpose was the construction of naval aviation, in order to prepare for the German aircraft carrier in advance, Accardo deliberately prepared two air force HE-51 biplanes for the navy, so that the navy could train its own air force.

"General Raeder. Accardo returned to the office of the Navy Headquarters and sat down on the sofa for the guests, and he walked all day, although he spent most of his time in the car, but he was still half tired to death: "Ask your man to pour me a glass of Coca-Cola." ”

"Your Excellency General, I heard that Coca-Cola is your property?" Raeder arranged for his men to find Coca-Cola, and then turned to Accardo.

"Yes, yes, Coca-Cola is indeed a German company now!" Accardo nodded, and there was a smug hint in his tone.

"General, are you too arbitrary to bet on aircraft carriers and submarines for future naval battles? If you can allow us to build a super battleship, I think my generals will be more confident. Raeder sat down on another couch next to Accardo and spoke—Accardo didn't sit in the main seat, and he wouldn't sit on it.

"My arbitrariness is based on sophisticated analysis and predictions of the future!" Accardo glanced at Raeder and said with a smile, "So General Raeder, you don't have to be too nervous, my decision will prove completely correct." ”

"Recently, Japanese friends have been very interested in our shipbuilding program. Raeder thought for a moment and then reported to Accardo, "They are willing to share with us what they know about naval aviation, and they are willing to support our engineers and help us design the latest aircraft carriers." ”

"What is the price?" asked Accardo, raising an eyebrow.

Raeder picked up a copy of the paper on the table, handed it to Accardo and said, "You can see their plans for yourself, it is said that they need our tank blueprints, some steelmaking technology, and a large number of submarine engineers." ”

"It's a beautiful idea, they take the blueprints of an outdated 'Kaga' aircraft carrier in exchange for so many of our top-secret drawings and technical talents! Are the Japanese crazy for money?" Accardo disdainfully threw aside the plan in his hand and sneered: "Do they think that except for that bullshit emperor, everyone else is a fool?"

"General, from the perspective of actual combat in naval aviation, the Japanese are still very experienced in this area, can we learn from it......" Raeder asked Accardo with a frown.

Accardo waved his hand: "Their bullshit experience is not as accurate as we have explored ourselves! I am afraid that they will come to learn from us when the time comes!"

"So, the general, do you want to refer to the Japanese Kaga for our aircraft carrier design?" Raeder finally asked.

"Refer to them?" Accardo sneered, "Hehe, have you ever seen an eagle ask a sparrow how to fly?"

"Our aircraft carriers, based on the technology of sectional construction, should have a tonnage of more than 25,000 tons and be used as the fleet's core attack and defense force!" Accardo spread his arms and said: "Use a straight, full-through flight deck with only a small number of anti-aircraft weapons! Equip fighters and bombers as long as possible as a long-range attack force!"

"Your Excellency, the bombs dropped by the planes are not fast enough and powerful enough to pose a threat to the battleships, and although our fleet can clean up the opponent's cruisers and destroyers, it will be chased by the opponent's battleships. Raeder reluctantly said what he was most worried about.

Accardo waved his hand and said confidently: "Mercedes-Benz is developing a new aero engine, and the future aircraft will be faster, larger and more advanced, and the aerial bombs will reach 300 kilograms, or even more than 500 kilograms! Moreover, the technology of aircraft dropping torpedoes will become more and more mature and simpler." ”

"Oh my God, are you telling the truth?" Raeder looked at Accardo in surprise and asked, "Isn't that the battleship we are helping the Soviets and the British to build now ......?"

"I didn't say anything. Accardo pretended to be very solemn and said sternly.

"Yes! I didn't hear anything. Raeder said with a smile.

"When, when, when. There was a knock on the door, and Anna walked in with her chin raised: "General, Merkel has rushed back from the United States, and he said that there is something important to report to you." ”

Accardo nodded and glanced at Raeder: "Your Excellency, General, I think it is necessary for me to borrow your office to talk to my people about the business of the Greater German Consortium." ”

"It's okay! Raeder nodded and respectfully exited his office, while his lieutenant, after bringing in two bottles of Coca-Cola, followed him.

"Anna, our business is getting more and more on track!" said Accardo as he picked up a bottle of Coca-Cola.

"Then I'll congratulate you a little!" Anna also picked up a bottle of Coca-Cola soda and touched the glass bottle in Accardo's hand: "Cheers." ”

"Ahem, don't bother the two of you, right?" asked Merkel at the door, coughing deliberately twice with a wicked smile.

"You all know you're bothering us, why don't you get out quickly?" Accardo laughed and pointed at Merkel, joking.

Merkel was also self-conscious: "Oh! Then I'm out." "Don't hesitate, turn around and leave.

Anna laughed, and it had only been since she had been kissed by Accardo that the sexy and beautiful female captain had revealed her lively and cheerful side.

Accardo didn't take advantage of his subordinates, so he had to give up: "Okay! Come back to me! Tell me about the results of your trip to the United States." ”

"We brought $300 million and were treated as saviors by a lot of the factories there. Merkel proudly described the results of her trip to the United States: "We have purchased all kinds of equipment, and the amount is so large that you can't even imagine it. ”

"Ninety percent of the machine tools for processing screws are new, and even the edges and corners are not worn! Merkel said as she opened the leather bag in her hand and took out a stack of papers.

As he introduced, he handed the text to Accardo to read: "We have signed cooperation agreements with four major consortia in the United States, providing us with at least 3,000 machine tools of various types and more than 400 precision machining equipment within a year. They also helped persuade around 120 senior engineers to immigrate to Germany. ”

Accardo frowned, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, he looked up at Merkel, smiled and asked: "Merkel, you have also signed a cooperation agreement on industrial raw materials? ”

"We sourced rare metals such as molybdenum. Merkel smiled and continued to introduce his trip to the United States: "I also bought a lot of oil and steel from American companies. ”

"How's the transport going?" Accardo asked.

"We have about 40 Hercules-class freighters on board to travel between Germany and the United States. That's the maximum amount of transport power we can pull out. Merkel said with some regret: "Of course, if necessary, we can also charter some Japanese and British freighters! ”

Acador laughed: "I didn't expect that in the world economic crisis, we still have spare money to buy those rags." ”
