After the German officer corps stayed in the northeast for two days, Dönitz's Seckert could only take him to Zhang Xueming.

Despite the fact that the officer corps is from Germany.

But Dönitz, a small naval lieutenant, was not qualified to come directly to see Zhang Xueming.

When I saw the two of them come to the door.

Zhang Xueming roughly guessed their intentions.

Sure enough, as soon as Seckert spoke, he directly explained his intention.

"Commander Zhang, this is a young man from our navy, called Dönitz.

Since the last naval battle, when your submarine sank the battleship Nagato of the Wakoku Kingdom, its reputation has spread all over the world.

Even our navy lads are very eager to see your submarines.

Including this young man, I wonder if this will make Commander Zhang embarrassed?"

Dönitz also stood up immediately at this time, and said with determination: "Commander Zhang, I ask to observe your submarine.

And I can strictly adhere to your confidentiality requirements.

As long as I can see it. "

Listening to the translator's words, he looked at Dönitz with some urgency.

Zhang Xueming smiled and said, "Now our two sides are reaching preliminary military cooperation.

As military partners, we are all very generous.

Then I'll call the command of the Navy now.

Let them arrange for the major to observe our state-of-the-art submarines. "

The most advanced submarine Zhang Xueming is talking about here certainly cannot be a Type 21 submarine.

This submarine is simply too advanced.

The development of conventional submarines after the war can find a shadow on this submarine.

It just so happened that the system gave away 20 Type VII submarines, and also sent a shipyard specializing in the manufacture of submarines.

Now this submarine force is parked on the Jinzhou military port.

This is completely tailor-made for the officer corps.

Zhang Xueming's arrangement is naturally a Type VII submarine.

Submarines are nothing like this, they can't change the balance of power in the oceans, and they can't change the tide of war.

But it was able to make the Allies suffer more losses and leave more blood behind.

If it is possible to supply submarines to Germany in large quantities.

At the same time, you can make a lot of money.

Zhang Xueming is very willing.

So he is also very enthusiastic about selling this advanced submarine.

Also enthusiastic was Navy Commander Chen Shaokuan.

After understanding what Zhang Xueming meant.

As the commander of the Navy 973, he personally accompanied Dönitz to the Jinzhou submarine base.

"This is where our submarine base is located. "

On the port dock, there are VIIB/C submarines moored.

A total of 20 ships were berthed at 10 piers.

The system check-in and gift are all here.

"These submarines are our newest submarines.

But we don't have enough submariners to get them moving.

So I've been sitting here all along, and I'm going to apply to the committee for the export of these submarines.

Otherwise, these submarines will need a lot of maintenance costs from us if they stay here for a year. "

It seems that the speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.

Hearing this, Dönitz's heart moved.

These submarines can actually be traded in foreign trade.

Wouldn't it be that they also have the opportunity to buy such submarines.

But I just don't know how well these submarines perform?

Dönitz was obviously a little younger, and he didn't see the twists and turns in it clearly.

He asked directly: "I don't know how well these submarines perform?"

The two of them had now come to a Type VIIB submarine.

Looking up at the submarine in front of him, you can tell with the naked eye that its tonnage is not small.

No wonder they were able to sink the battleship Nagato.

It's not that simple.

Chen Shaokuan acted as a commentator.

"Our Type 091 submarine is equipped with two 6-cylinder, 4-range supercharged engines with a propulsion power of 2,400 kilowatts.

Two 750 hp electric motors are also used for submersible navigation.

It can reach a top speed of 17.7 knots on the surface, 7.6 knots underwater, and a cruising range of 8,000 nautical miles.

Oh yes, and his water displacement is 769 tons, and his underwater displacement is 871 tons. "

After hearing these figures, he was very satisfied.

Compared to the U68 submarine he piloted in World War I, it is more advanced in performance.

Especially in terms of speed, it is very good to be able to reach 17.7 knots.

In fact, in the development of submarines, due to the interruption of more than ten years.

In terms of performance, the performance of the advanced submarines of the First World War was actually not very different from the submarines of the early and middle World War II. (cjec)

"What about the weapon?"

Chen Shaokuan said: "There are five torpedo tubes, 4 in the bow and 1 in the stern.

There was also an 88-mm deck gun and a 20-mm cannon.

It is mainly used for air defense, and at the same time as for combating surface merchant ships. "

After a detailed understanding of the performance of this submarine.

Chen Shaokuan said directly: "It just so happens that we have a member of the submarine team on vacation, so let's just go out to sea and go around."

This makes it easier for you to understand the performance of this submarine. "

Dönitz naturally agreed.

Going to sea is the best way to test the performance of this submarine.

I didn't expect the Northeast to be so generous.

Not only let him visit, but also let him go to sea with the boat.

But by now he could vaguely guess that this was selling him the submarine.

If he can't react, he'll be stupid.

He was indeed very impressed by this submarine.

Because of the Treaty of Versailles, they were restricted from developing any submarines.

But they can do it the same way as the Air Force.

Buy submarines here, train boatmen.

At the same time, it is possible to develop submarine technology by studying these submarines.

Looking at the submarine rumbling out to sea, Chen Shaokuan was full of smiles.

It can be seen from his performance that he is very interested in these submarines.

Maybe you can sell all these submarines.

Zhang Xueming spoke.

As long as these submarines can be sold, the Navy and the Commission will split the account.

The cost of the five cents left is handled by the Navy itself.

Whether it's building a ship or whatever.

That's why Chen Shaokuan is so enthusiastic.

You must know that one of these things is 5 million coins, which is 5 million oceans.

These 20 ships were sold, but it was 100 million coins.

I just don't know if the German side is willing to pay this money.

This is not a small amount of money for the current Weimar government.

Under the economic crisis, they are having a hard time.

With an unemployment rate of 43 percent, workers are quite dissatisfied with the current Weimar situation.

It was not until the mustache came to power that it returned to the level before the economic crisis broke out in 36 years.

But that's not something he's supposed to worry about.

After a lap out to sea, Dönitz also test-fired several torpedoes.

Now that they know that the other party wants to sell this type of submarine to them.

Then Dönitz, naturally, was not at all polite.

The crew was also quite cooperative. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

It took a total of three days to go to sea.

When Dönitz returned, he found Setek.

"We need it, our submarines are limited because of that treaty.

And now is the best opportunity to break through this treaty.

We can also send soldiers to train here and engineers to study here, just like the Air Force. "

Seckert looked at Dönitz, who was a little excited.

He reassured: "Okay, I will report your thoughts to the country, as for whether the country agrees or not, it is not something I can decide." "

What submarines meant to Germany, they knew very well.

During World War I, they built more than 300 submarines.

At the cost of the loss of 178 ships.

Sink 5,708 ships of the Entente with a total tonnage of 13 million tons.

There were more than a dozen battleships alone.

This record can be described as brilliant.

Therefore, the German military has always attached great importance to the development of submarine forces.

Because they understand it very well.

Faced with the blockade of the British Navy, they were able to rush out only submarines.

If a major war breaks out in the future, only submarines will be able to give them a certain advantage in the ocean.

The Ministry of Defense and the mustache received a telegram from Seckert almost simultaneously.

The Ministry of Defense is undoubtedly very impressed by this batch of submarines.

But now they know very well what is going on with the Weimar government.

It is very difficult to come up with this money to buy these submarines.

Sure enough, when their procurement proposal was submitted, it was directly rejected by them.

To purchase these submarines plus other expenses, it will cost almost 120 million Reichsmarks.

This is undoubtedly a significant expense for the current government.

Unemployment is high and the economy is in shambles.

They can only pay a maximum of 20 million Reichsmarks.

But at this time, one person stepped up.

That's the mustache.

Mustache contacted the Ministry of Defense and asked them to send the bill to Congress on the grounds of applying for special funding.

He would find a way to get this special fund through.

The reason why the mustache is so enthusiastic is also very simple.

One of the main reasons is to tie up with the military and pave the way for the election early next year.

If there is military support, then that position is very secure.

There is also the fact that he also understands the role of submarines very well.

Now there is such a good opportunity to buy a batch of the most advanced submarines in the world.

Although this more than 100 million Reichsmarks is not a lot, it is possible to buy these advanced submarines.

Moreover, the Northeast region, far to the east, can be well avoided by Britain and France.

So that they can train and study there.

It's a very good deal.

When it came to Congress.

With the joint cooperation of the mustachioed Nazi Party and the military.

The proposal for special funding was successfully adopted.

Although the Weimar government was still reluctant.

But they still took out the money.

However, it needs to be paid in three instalments, 40 million Reichsmarks every two months.

The military has nothing to do with this.

So in less than five days, Seckert found Zhang Xueming.

Speak directly about their intentions.

Buying these 20 submarines, they also hope that the Northeast will provide them with a place to train and study their own submarines.

And all expenses incurred during this period, they will pay.

Zhang Xueming was overjoyed.

I didn't expect Germany to be so generous.

At this time, more than 100 million Reichsmarks can be taken out to buy submarines.

You must know that this is more than 100 million Reichsmarks, but it is equivalent to more than 100 million oceans.

It is also equivalent to 100 million coins.

This money alone is equivalent to the fiscal revenue of the entire Northeast last year.

Although the money needs to be paid in three installments.

But with the credibility of the other party, there is no problem at all.

So the two sides quickly signed a contract.

After reaching this deal of more than 100 million coins.

The navy was rejoicing.

With more than 50 million funds, this can be used to build more than 30 Keeling-class destroyers.

Based on the current Tohoku prices.

To build a more than 5,000-ton Keeling-class destroyer, it only costs about 1.5 million coins.

The cost is actually only about 1.2 million.

This is already very cheap.

If I change it in Eagle Sauce.

A Keeling-class class costs at least $10 million or more.

The reason why the gap is so large has a lot to do with the purchasing power and model of the two sides.

Eagle Sauce's military-industrial enterprises are basically private enterprises.

Since it is a private company, it is natural to consider profits.

Look at their military-industrial complex, you can see how profitable they are.

Add to that their high prices and labor costs.

It's no wonder that the cost is not high.

The situation in the Northeast is different.

Not to mention the low price, the labor cost is not high.

An ordinary shipbuilder's salary is only 30 yuan a month.

Even if you are a senior engineer, your monthly salary is about 100 coins.

Moreover, the shipyard is a publicly owned enterprise and is under the jurisdiction of the Northeast Assets Committee.

It has a 100% controlling stake.

So their margins are actually very low.

In Huaxia, military enterprises are not used to make money, but to consolidate national defense.

The philosophies of the two are completely different.

Plus, it's only been 32 years now.

That's why a destroyer that cost more than $10 million in the 40s only needed $1.5 million in the Northeast.

The navy was happy, and the German navy was naturally very happy.

A group of soldiers were quickly selected to go to the northeast as migrant workers to receive submarines and conduct training.

But the good times are always short-lived.

There was finally an accident on the side of the Eastern Railway, which completely disrupted Zhang Xueming's plan.
