Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 3182 German Military Purchase
In fact, from the perspective of this era, Chinese submarines are very ugly.This ugliness is not only reflected in the appearance of the submarine, but most importantly, Chinese submarines are not equipped with naval guns and seaplanes.You must know that limited by the immaturity of torpedo technology (not far enough range, not fast enough), whether it is the West or Japan, naval guns and seaplanes are standard equipment for their main submarines.

In terms of submarine tactics alone, there is no doubt that Germany is at the forefront of the world.However, as far as submarine technology is concerned, if China considers itself the second in the world, then no country dares to claim to be the number one in the world.Chinese submarines have been in the shape of water droplets since the Ming class. Up to now, the water droplets of the Song class have not only become more mature, but more importantly, for the first time, the submarine is equipped with a skin with anti-sonar function.

Export submarines to the Germans?In that time and space, if any Chinese dared to say such a thing, they would probably be ridiculed by the whole world.But in this time and space, at least at this time, no matter what people in other countries think, the Germans are all ecstatic.

The navy has always been Germany's weak point.Doenitz invented wolf pack tactics in the early days of World War II, not to say that the Germans preferred submarine warfare.In fact, this is the helpless move of the Germans.Because of the lack of enough large water warships, the Germans can only pin their hopes on non-main ships such as submarines.However, with the advent of sonar, wolf pack tactics immediately failed.Since then, the Germans have basically lost their dominance of the sea and can only rely on land and air power to strike the enemy.

Compared with the German U-class submarines, Chinese submarines are completely superior in at least three aspects.One is speed; the other is anti-sonar capability; the third is the advanced nature of torpedoes.Moreover, because Chinese submarines are equipped with new batteries with more advanced and stable performance, this greatly improves their survivability on the battlefield.In general, Chinese submarines are at least two generations ahead of German submarines.In this way, when the Germans learned from Li Tieshu that the Chinese government may open up the right to purchase submarines to Germany, how could the Germans not be overjoyed?
Opening up the export license of Song-class submarines to Germany was the result of Ouyang Yun's insistence.The reason why Ouyang Yun persisted was because Germany lacked sufficient sea power, and worried that Germany would not be able to stop the attacks of the Soviet Union, Russia and even the NATO coalition forces because of this shortcoming. "...Given our understanding of the integrity of the United States and Britain, we must prevent them from manipulating NATO to join forces with the Soviet Union and Russia to attack Germany. Once the United States and Britain join the war against Germany, Germany's lack of sufficient maritime self-defense forces may lead to its complete collapse. To Germany Another advantage of exporting Song-class submarines is that Germany can help us share the pressure at sea. It is true that we are now the only one in the Pacific Ocean. But everyone, don’t forget that both the United States and the United Kingdom have the largest shipbuilding capabilities in the world today. If the war is protracted, then the naval power of the NATO coalition forces that we need to face in the future may be twice or even three or four times that of the present!"

"If the Chinese didn't falsify the technical parameters, then this Song-class submarine is simply tailor-made for us in Germany. Just imagine, if we have ten such submarines in the North Sea, plus our air force, which country The Chinese navy has the ability to break in?" On the land back to Guangzhou, a naval officer of the delegation told Falkenhausen that he was very powerful, and tried his best to instigate the latter to call China to request the purchase of Chinese Song-class submarines.

In the eyes of this German naval officer, the biggest highlight of the Song-class submarine is not the new torpedo it carries, but its lurking ability.According to the parameters provided by the Chinese side, each Song-class submarine is equipped with three sets of 72 batteries each, which can ensure that the submarine can sail at cruising speed for four hours without using the engine, or stay underwater for more than [-] hours.The anti-sonar skin of the Song-class submarine is already enough to prevent the current US and British main sonars from easily finding its tracks. If they use stealth to approach the battlefield, then they can ensure pre-emptive strikes.In modern naval warfare, preemptive strikes are too important. As he said, coupled with Germany's powerful air power, the United States, Britain and other main enemies of Germany, which navy can threaten Germany from the sea?
Falkenhausen was persuaded, and that night, he went to the country to telegraph. He first reported his visits during the day, and then proposed that China's Song-class submarine should be purchased to establish a distant sea defense circle in the North Sea.

The German Wehrmacht government sent a military delegation to visit China, and its main purpose was to buy weapons from China.However, because the Germans are better at the army, in the original plan, the Germans hoped that all the weapons they obtained from China would be land combat equipment, including rocket launchers, bazookas and surface-to-air missiles.

Falkenhausen's telegram not only gave the top brass of the German Wehrmacht a more comprehensive understanding of China, but also opened a strategic window for them.In the original defense plan of the Germans, it was planned to use strong coastal fortifications to resist threats from the sea.But now, with the Song-class submarine as a reference, they realized that they could push the sea defense line to the far sea in this way, and they thought it was worth trying.

However, it obviously does not think that China's submarine technology has been able to lead the world in an all-round way, or because of the failure of the wolf pack tactics, self-confidence has been severely hit, and it is not believed that Germany has the ability to win naval battles. Therefore, after listening to Deng After Nietz's opinion, the German Wehrmacht replied that although it agreed with Falkenhausen's proposal, it reduced the number of purchases to four.

The Germans had just finalized the purchase of the Song-class submarine. Ouyang Yun came to Guangzhou and formally met with Falkenhausen.

Ouyang Yun has a very good impression of Falkenhausen.Not only because the former did make great contributions to China's war of resistance, but also because the latter gave the Chinese a lot of help when they served as the governor of the occupying forces in many European countries.

Ouyang Yun behaved extremely kindly, and the atmosphere of the meeting was extremely harmonious.After the pleasantries, the two sides first discussed the details of the Sino-German alliance, and then held a signing ceremony for Germany's appointment as a permanent member of the United Nations.After finishing these diplomatic affairs, Ouyang Yun held a welcome banquet for the delegation, and after the banquet, he invited Falkenhausen to drink tea, and the two immediately discussed the issue of military purchases.

"China is willing to provide any form of support to Germany within its capacity," Ouyang Yun said straight to the point before the formal discussion.

After getting this promise, Falkenhausen and one of the men he brought in looked at each other with relieved smiles on their faces.
