Chapter 128: Change railway


   Historically, the Soviets visited Germany, but after the Soviet Union and Germany signed the "Soviet-German Non-Aggression Treaty", Germany began to provide the Soviet Union with some advanced military industrial technology and samples.
   It was during this period that the People’s Committee of the Soviet Shipbuilding Industry formed an investigation group in 1939 to visit German shipyards and inspected the latest German warships, including the aircraft carrier "Graf Zeppelin" under construction.
   At that time, there were designers from the 45th Central Scientific Research Institute in the Soviet delegation. They greatly appreciated the "Graf Zeppelin"'s perfect aviation outfit, first-class self-defense weapon system and advanced welding technology. Therefore, the Soviet delegation immediately proposed to purchase a ship of the same type from Germany, but the German side tactfully rejected this request.
   At the same time, as compensation, Germany agreed to provide the anti-aircraft gun and fire control system of the "Graf Zeppelin". This is the world’s only shipborne antiaircraft gun with a two-way stable structure, which can reduce the impact of ship sway on shooting. The overall performance is first-class, and the matching fire control system inherits the tradition of German precision instruments, and its performance is ahead of Similar products in Britain and America.
   And now, only 35 years of summer!
This is no exception. The main reason is the last Cyric’s trip to Moscow, which laid a good foundation. Germany has helped the Soviet Union build two warships. The Soviet Union is quite satisfied. At this time, it happened to catch up with Germany. The launch of the Zeppelin aircraft carrier, the Soviets were quite shocked, so they came again!
  Soviet, what are you here for? Of course it is to order the same aircraft carrier from Germany!
  In this period, Stalin's mind also began to gradually change. With the continuous development of the Soviet domestic economy, the Soviet Union should have a powerful fleet!
   The battleship plan has already been launched in the Soviet Union. When this plan began, the Soviet Union finally discovered that it was really too difficult to build a 10,000-ton battleship independently based on its own industrial level!
   Apart from anything else, the hull of this kind of warship is already quite difficult. The Soviet Union does not have enough steel!
   The planned aircraft carrier would not be able to start construction, and the Soviet Union could not afford it.
  At this time, they finally remembered Cyric’s promise that as long as the Soviet Union provides sufficient mineral resources, they can exchange warships from Germany! Even if it is an aircraft carrier, Germany can make it for the Soviet Union!
   Two warships were built in the past, almost in this mode. Germany strictly abided by the contract, completed all the construction work in accordance with the normal process, and handed it over to the Soviet Navy. This is also a prerequisite for continued cooperation between the two sides!
   So, the Soviets are here again, led by Tukhachevsky!
   Now Tukhachevsky has become the Marshal of the Soviet Union. He is a burly figure and a broad face. After seeing Cyrek, he immediately shook hands with Cyrek.
   "Cyrek, it's nice to meet you," Tukhachevsky said.
   "Yes, I heard that it was you, I came right away." Cyric said, "Now, please let me lead you to visit our warship."
In fact, Cyric came for the second time. Under the leadership of the factory personnel, Cyric led Tukhachevsky and his party through the huge crane on the dock and entered the aircraft carrier that was being outfitted. on.
At this time, the upper deck of the aircraft carrier has been laid. In order to increase the strength of the warship and deal with the possibility of dive bombers, this aircraft carrier did not use wooden decks like other aircraft carriers, but was laid thick. The steel deck is enough to stop ordinary bombs!
   And now, standing on the deck, you can feel the size of this aircraft carrier! Especially, the front deck looks so strange!
"I really hope that our navy can have such an aircraft carrier." After investigating on the aircraft carrier for more than an hour, everyone came to the meeting room at the dock, and Tukhachevsky said enthusiastically: "This time we Come, I would like to ask you to help us build the same aircraft carrier."
   As soon as he finished speaking, Tukhachevsky saw Cyrek's face, showing helplessness.
   "Why, do you have any difficulties?" Tukhachevsky said.
   Didn’t you discuss this proposal before? Moreover, the previous contract was completed very well. The big deal is that the Soviet Union exports more minerals. Can't it make up for it?
"Yes." Cyric said: "Now, our naval construction is vigorously proceeding. Our shipyards are all running at full power. You should be able to see that there are still Workers from other countries even come from China."
"Moreover, building an aircraft carrier requires a lot of resources~EbookFREE.me~ Cyric said: "If you still pay in the previous way, the transportation of minerals will need to be increased by several tens of times. Some methods are too difficult. unless…"
   "Unless what?" Tukhachevsky asked.
"Unless railways can be unified." Cyrek said: "The current transportation, if trucks are used, is too wasteful. Railways must be used. However, the railways in the Soviet Union and Europe are not common. If the Soviet Union can be used The railway is transformed into the same width as Europe, so it is very convenient to transport minerals."
   This time, Lao Maozi came here to ask for it. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he must fix the railway business!
   Although there are good reasons, Lao Maozi must be defensive. Everyone knows what railway specifications mean.
In later generations, the railway built by Yan Xishan on his own turf was not as common as the outside. It just didn’t want outside forces to penetrate in. Now, if it is the same as the European railway, it is convenient to transport minerals, which will be more convenient for future transportation strategies. Supplies!
Cyrek did not give Tukhachevsky time to think about it. Cyrek continued to mention his own conditions: "The railway must continue from the border to the Ural Mountains to transport all kinds of minerals in the Ural Mountains. Come, even so, we have to wait a year or two. When these minerals are enough to maintain the cost of the aircraft carrier, we can start construction. By that time, our aircraft carrier has also been completed and the slipway has just been vacated."
   Cyric made it very clear that even if a large amount of ore is imported, it has to wait!
   Now, Germany is very nervous and has no time! Only when the Soviet Union has shipped enough minerals, can the slipway be freed up here! The Soviet Union had to agree to these requirements if it wanted Germany to build an aircraft carrier!
