Chapter 176: I'm Self-Done Five Marks! (Part II)
e: Ask for tickets, recommend tickets for monthly passes
June 1o, Republic 26 (192 AD), Berlin, Germany.
"My Majesty, those things sent by the Chinese are really wonderful, with these, our chances of victory against Britain have increased significantly, and according to the sand table deduction of the Naval Staff, our victory rate is as high as 84... ̈" said Admiralty Marshal Tirpitz excitedly.
Wilhelm II touched his beard triumphantly and said, "Alfred, weren't there some people who were against this deal at first, thinking that we had suffered a loss?
Tirpitz hurriedly said: "His Majesty's vision is far-reaching, and ordinary people can't reach it, and it's normal for them to be confused and can't understand it for a while......"
"It's hard to imagine that Chinese have developed such an advanced torpedo...... Wilhelm II picked up a model torpedo on the table and said with some unwillingness.
Tirpitz said excitedly, "Yes, Your Majesty." We have passed many times, and the performance of this [Yasha] type oxygen torpedo provided by the Chinese is very amazing. It has a range of 66o meters when sailing at a maximum of 6 knots, and a staggering 36o meters at a low of 3 knots, which is already out of the range of the main guns of the main battleships of various countries. Moreover, the use of pure oxygen also makes the torpedo's track very small, very hidden, and not easy to be seen. Moreover, it uses a new type of mixed explosives, with a charge of 55o kilograms, so it is extremely powerful, and one is just one piece, and it completely destroys our retired ironclad ship as a target ship. After assessing by the technicians of the Reich, they considered this torpedo to be at least 3 years ahead of the world......"
He had seen the test with his own eyes, and at that time His Excellency was speechless for a long time by the performance of the Yaksha-type oxygen torpedo.
Uh, you read that right, it's an oxygen torpedo. Wen Deji gave the Japanese Navy's signature weapon, the "Powerful Type 93 Acid Torpedo", to the cottage, and then sold it to Erdeko as one of the "gift packages".
However, this oxygen torpedo has also undergone a magic change, and its internal pipes, valves and connections are all made of PTFE seals, so the safety is greatly improved compared to the original.
In addition, other optimized designs were carried out, and the caliber was changed to 6o mm, the amount and degree of charge were increased compared to the original, and the firing range was reduced. Because the Chinese engineers have tested it, they believe that the maximum range of 40,000 meters of the original Type 93 torpedo is completely unnecessary, and the most suitable range for such a thing as a direct-sail torpedo is about 10,000 meters. Instead of increasing the range, it is more cost-effective to increase the degree and power.
"It's just a pity that this torpedo is too big and needs to be filled with oxygen, so it can only be loaded on surface ships. Moreover, the Chinese have repeatedly reminded that this torpedo has certain dangers when filling with oxygen, so it must be operated in strict accordance with the process. It's funny to say that the Chinese understand this terrible torpedo, but they themselves are very little armed. Because their sailors are not good, they are more farmers who have just dropped their hoes, or fishermen who have dropped their nets, and it is very difficult for such sailors to follow the process strictly......" Tirpitz said with a joke that sounded good.
"Hahahaha" Wilhelm II really laughed, and after a while he came back to his senses, and said proudly: "Although the Chinese have changed my opinion now, their Suzhì is polarized, but it is a bit like the Russians." It must be admitted that their upper elites are all very good, but their soldiers, hehe, are probably about the same as the gray cattle of Russia...... However, this kind of problem for the Chinese is not a problem for us in Germany at all...
"Yes, Your Majesty. We, in the German Empire, have the best sailors in the world, and this weapon is the most suitable for us," Tirpitz, like Wei Er, was extremely confident in his subordinates.
They don't know, though. China itself is not equipped with this [Yaksha] type oxygen torpedo at all, this is an export model specially prepared for them. That "joke" was all made up, and some time ago at the fraternity of the two ** officials, a few officers were deliberately drunk too much and "leaked" to them.
China's own sound-guided torpedoes, fueled by oxygen-rich air. It is not directly filled with oxygen, but uses three chemical reagents (component A and B and catalyst) to mix, and after heating, the oxygen produced by chemical reaction is generated, and the three chemical reagents are usually stored in different containers, and they will be mixed after injection. After mixing, oxygen and water vapor are generated, and oxygen-rich air with a concentration of 662 is formed with compressed air through the regulating valve, and then burned.
This time there is more than one kind of torpedo for Erdezi, in addition to the [Yaksha] type 6o mm oxygen torpedo used by surface ships, there is also a [Yaksha] type 55o mm oxygen torpedo for submarines, with a total length of - meters, a charge of 43o kg, a maximum height of 6 knots, a range of 36 meters, and a range of 47o meters when a low of 26 knots. Uh, that's right, this is a modified copycat version of the original space-time Japan's "Powerful Type 95 Acid Torpedo". Mr. Wen was very generous, and the oxygen torpedo was directly given to the full set.
In addition, of course, there are also the platform drawings used with these torpedoes, since the prototype of the torpedo is Japanese, the platform naturally also uses the Japanese one. There are three types of these platforms, namely the "North Class" heavy mine-mounted cruiser and the "Island-class" heavy mine-mounted destroyer. Another prototype was Germany's own, but it was only available in World War II, that is, the P1oo-class torpedo boat. Of course, these three platforms have also undergone magic changes, and although they can be built with the current German technology, the performance is definitely not as good as the original. But it doesn't matter, it's not for your own use anyway.
The last type, of course, is the famous h-boat, the World War II-level h-boat, including VI1-class, Ix-class, xx1-class and xx111-class attack submarines, as well as xIV-class supply submarines, all packaged for Germany, which they like to build. Each stage brought a sample, and the No. 2 flotilla that joined the visiting fleet this time was specially designed to cover these submarines. Of course, these submarines are also the later models of the Demon Modification, and they also come with wolf pack tactics.
In addition to the physical objects and drawings of these ships and weapons, China also provided an intelligence about the British Navy, that is, the poor main armor belt and the armor-piercing shells of the British battleships.
Because the armor-piercing bullet used by Britain in World War I is a soft quilt cap armor-piercing bullet with very poor performance, the armor-piercing ability of this armor-piercing bullet is not as good as that of a hard quilt cap armor-piercing bullet. To make matters worse, the fuse used by Niu Niu was so sensitive that the shell exploded as soon as it came into contact with the armor, and there was no time to pierce the armor
It is precisely because of this kind of armor-piercing bullet that the British battleships have become thin-skinned and stuffed. Because according to Niu Niu's own tests, the main armor belt of about 2o mm is enough, of course, they tested it with their own armor-piercing shells, which is really enough. In addition, when the shipbuilding competition was later carried out, it was necessary to ensure production and reduce costs, so the already pitiful armor was further weakened. In the original time and space, from the Dreadnought class to the Iron Duke class, the main armor belt of the British battleship was very beautiful on paper, 2o-3o mm thick, but its height was less than one meter, and the narrowest exposed surface was only 6 to 9 inches, yes, less than 2 centimeters, just such a belt, it was much more difficult to hit than not to hit. However, the thickness of the armor of the rest of the parts that really carried the shells was only 2-2o millimeters, which was only about the same as the heavy cruisers of other countries.
And that's not all, the top armor of their main guns is generally less than 7o mm thick, plus the fire doors of the ammunition depot that are unobstructed all the time, it's like a lighter.
Truth be till, getting information about the torpedoes, ships, and submarines wasn't Tirpitz's greatest pleasure, but what really excited him the most was about the weaknesses of the British battleships. Of course, the Chinese side also generously provided a map of the armor distribution of all the current British warships, as well as a map of the internal structure. With these things, Germany was able to know the weaknesses of the British fleet inside and out.
Tirpitz said excitedly: "Your Majesty, I think that this information about Britain is the most important. I really didn't expect that China would be able to get even such a secret......"
"Well, that's true, I was confused by the size of the British Navy before, I really didn't expect that they were all a bunch of flashy things......" Wilhelm II also sighed. "By the way, what do you think of the problems that the Chinese pointed out to us?"
Tirpitz said with a solemn expression: "We have tested it, and the Chinese are completely right, our designers did have a lot of omissions before." Fortunately, it has now been pointed out in advance by the Chinese, and according to the Chinese, this is called making amends, and it is not too late. The new propeller and propulsion part are already in production and can be replaced in the second half of the year. The protection of the main turret and fire control system will also be strengthened......"
In addition, during the exchanges between the two countries, China also kindly pointed out some hidden dangers and design loopholes of German warships, especially Germany's incomparable propeller design and weak turret defense.
In addition, the problem of large ships carrying small cannons in the original time and space has been improved a lot under the butterfly effect of the "Fuxi-class" dreadnoughts, starting from the Nassau class, the Skoda company's -1o mm cannon technology has been introduced, and now the Nassau-class and Helgoland-class have been replaced with -1o mm guns. Later, the Emperor class and the King class were replaced with the same 3o mm main gun as the Fuxi class. Moreover, the Skoda artillery is equipped with heavy shells, and by the way, the problem of their shells being too light has also been solved.
However, there is nothing Wen Desi can do about the racial talent that the Germans waste tonnage, anyway, they don't use it themselves, they can play it casually.
In addition to these weapons, Wen Desi's "gift package" to Erdezi also includes some industrial and agricultural technologies, such as coal oil technology and ammonia synthesis technology. In fact, in the original time and space, these technologies were first developed by the Germans, and Mr. Wen just gave them decades in advance. And the synthetic ammonia technology is also, although Germany's Haber also came up in 19o9, but compared with what China gave them, it is a full second generation.
In agriculture, he gave them several varieties of potatoes, sweet potatoes and wheat, which were not as good as China's own use, but could more than double the yield of their current varieties. There is also a genetically modified pig called "6-pig" provided to Germany, which has a very unnatural feed conversion rate, as long as the feed can keep up, the average only 6-day can be slaughtered, if you feed some additives, as long as 26 days can be slaughtered. Of course, Germany can't make additives now, but Wen always can provide them, anyway, the amount of this kind of thing is not much, one ton is enough for a pig farm for a year.
In addition, they were given patents for several agricultural machinery, such as seeders, harvesters, and so on.
gave so many things to get back Qingdao and exempt all Gengzi indemnities. Mr. Wen felt that he had already done his best to be benevolent. If the future generations of Hademen knew that they were so hard to support Erdezi, they would also treat themselves as their kind.
"Your Majesty, today the Chinese have proposed to use their 6th Army and Air Force weapons technology, as well as that Eurasian supply line plan, in exchange for our Pacific colonies, what do you think?" Tirpitz asked again.
Because many of the things that China came up with this time were related to the navy, out of the need for secrecy, this negotiation was basically presided over by Tirpitz. Just after Qingdao was handed over to China, the Chinese put forward another plan.
