The Third Reich

　　 Although Russia participated in the First World War, the Russian navy did nothing at all. The navy was originally a money-burning project. Russia in the Tsarist era was a country with a weak industrial foundation and a weak economy. Except for territories, many are not enough for the standards of a big country. The Queen Maria was lost in the civil war. The Soviet navy only inherited the Gangu special class. There are also Izmail-class battlecruisers in the shipyard. At that time, the hull completion rate of several ships was more than half. Can resume work to complete. The estimate at the time was that one Izmail was worth two or three Ganguts. However, the last few Izmails were sold scrap.

　　 And these years, it is also the era of great development of world naval technology! The Soviet Union has just completed industrialization, and there is still a long way to go in terms of naval construction.

　　 At present, the Soviet Union has no mature battleship technology, including naval guns, hulls, and steel. In short, the Soviet Union does not have any technical reserves.

　　Although the caliber of naval guns exceeded 300mm in the Tsarist era, the design of a dozen years ago has fallen far behind. With naval guns of the same caliber, the West can already exert greater power!

　　 The Soviet Union currently does not have any battleship construction technology! Everything, almost from scratch!

　　In later generations, the Soviet Union built only a 190mm naval gun, and the product of the Soviet Great Leap Forward, the USS Soviet battleship, planned to have a 406mm naval gun, but it was not built at all.

　　As a researcher of World War II, Cyrek knows exactly the story of the Soviet battleship.

　　 The Soviet Union also wanted its own powerful navy. The warships built during the Tsarist Russia were far from meeting the needs of the Soviets themselves, so the Soviet navy began a constant pursuit.

　　Because the Soviet Union does not have any technology, the Soviet Union must seek technical support from the outside world.

　　In the beginning, it started in Italy.

　　In 1933, Soviet naval experts visited Italy and the cooperation between the two sides began.

　　 Italy received contracts for the construction of warships and merchant ships from the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union sold fuel, iron ore and grain to Italy.

　　 The Soviet Navy’s Dezezinski-class frigates, Tashkent-class destroyers, and part of the heavy cruiser Kirov built in the Soviet Union are all from Italy!

　　 Cyric came here this time, naturally aimed at this matter, instead of cheaper Italy, it is better to hand over to the German shipbuilding company!

　　Because of the restrictions of the Treaty of Versailles, in recent years, German shipbuilding companies have not manufactured large warships! Signed a large number of construction contracts with the Soviet Union this time!

　　 The Soviet Union has no foreign exchange, but the Soviet Union has sufficient resources! Cyric values ​​not only iron ore, but also rare metal deposits in the Soviet Union! Now in this name, large quantities can be imported from the Soviet Union!

　　 This is a multi-purpose plan that will allow shipyards and steel plants in Germany to obtain a large number of orders and increase more employment opportunities.

　　 At the same time, you can also make strategic reserves and train your own shipbuilding team. With the help of the opportunity to build ships for the Soviet Union, the German technology of manufacturing warships will also make strides forward!

　　 The Treaty of Versailles does not allow Germany to equip heavy warships, but it does not restrict Germany from manufacturing warships to other countries! After developing these technologies, Germany can manufacture for itself at any time!

　　 Historically, Germany lost in World War II for many reasons. For example, the German navy was an absolute weakness!

　　 After the German submarine warfare was lost, the United Kingdom received far more constant sea supplies! If the German navy has a strong force, it might be able to force the surrender of Britain!

　　 Cyric is committed to supporting Hitler in building a powerful navy. The current visit is to accumulate technology for the future!

　　 do multiple things in one fell swoop!

　　 The 283 mm naval gun is the main naval gun of the German battlecruisers of World War I. It was developed by Krupp. Although it has a special caliber, this naval gun has a reputation in history.

　　 For example, in the history of naval warfare around the world, the only use of naval guns to destroy enemy aircraft carriers is the masterpiece of this 283 mm naval gun from Germany!

　　 The Soviets have no ability to produce advanced naval guns at all! If Germany exports such naval guns to the Soviet Union, it will greatly improve the level of Soviet warships!

　　 Sure enough, Cyric's words shocked the other party, and his eyes were full of surprises. It seems that the cooperation between the two sides in naval technology can be successfully reached!

　　 The warships that were handed over to Italy to be built in history have all been given to Germany! Germany needs those orders!

"Mr. Cyrick, the 283 mm naval gun has a very special caliber, and it is no longer in line with the development of the times. We want a larger caliber. Can you make a 406 mm caliber ship * Khachevsky? No words were spoken. At this time, it was a person wearing a navy uniform behind Tukhachevsky, commander of the Soviet Navy Orlov!

　　 Hearing this, Cyric frowned immediately. Good deed, at this time, the Soviets were already thinking about building more advanced warships?

　　406 mm! Maozi really values ​​firepower the most!

　　 Insufficient maneuverability, we must first consider firepower, and lack of protection, but also firepower first. In the minds of the Soviets, firepower, firepower, and firepower!

Although the German Navy did not perform particularly well in World War II, ~www.ltnovel.com~ The German Navy was the initiator of the naval arms race in Europe before World War II. The construction of cutting-edge warships at all levels in Europe is almost related to the re-emergence of the German Navy. More or less related.

　　 Especially the emergence of the "German" class stimulated senior navy officials in various European countries, because almost overnight, the warships in their hands were almost out of date. Cruisers that could run can't be beaten, and battleships that could be beaten could not run.

　　 Therefore, other countries began to develop all-round battleships.

　　 France developed the "Dunkirk"-class battlecruiser. Two quadruple 330mm main guns obtained overwhelming firepower over the "German"-class, and they had an overwhelming advantage in almost all performance.

　　 The Italians came up with four "Veneto" class ships. The German Navy also secretly built the "Bismarck" class, the world's largest battleship at the time.

　　 At the same time, although the United Kingdom is subject to the terrible economic situation in the country, it does not want the power of the empire to decline. They built a "King George V" class with a displacement of 35,000 tons and a 356 mm gun.

　　 At the same time, the "Hood", which was left over from the British World War I and later improved, is equipped with a 381mm naval gun, which has the most fierce firepower. At the same time, in terms of the number of artillery equipment, the "King George V" class won.

　　 And now, in the 1930s, the navies of most countries do not have over 400 mm cannon.

　　 Throughout the 1930s, the only battleships with main gun calibers exceeding 400 mm were the Nagato class (410 mm) of the island country, the Nelson class of the United Kingdom (406 mm) and the South Dakota class of the United States (406 mm). A total of 7 of these warships were built, known as 7 gibboss.

　　 The Soviets now want a 406 mm naval gun!
