Chapter 61: Akagi

Yamamoto Fifty-Six, as the Technical Director of the Naval Aviation Department, is responsible for the suitability of naval equipment. When he learned that the son-in-law of the Krupp family and Major Cyrek who represented the German government came, he immediately asked for instructions in person. meet!
　　 Kneeling on the tatami mat, a geisha with lipstick on her mouth, all these island-style greetings make Cyric quite unaccustomed to.
　　 "Hey Jun, welcome to the island country." Yamamoto 56 can actually speak German! Although they are not very fluent in speaking, and they still have that unique accent, it is the most difficult for islanders to learn foreign languages ​​because their tongues are naturally straight, but this still deepens the goodwill of the group.
　　 "We came with the sincerity of mutual cooperation." Cyric said: "Let us take what we need and develop together, what do you think?"
　　 "I don't know where you plan to cooperate?" Yamamoto Fifty-Six asked.
"We mainly intend to carry out some cooperation in industrial technology." Cyric said: "For example, we know your industrial needs, so we intend to export 50,000-ton hydraulic presses and the latest high-power Marine steam turbine."
　　 50,000 tons of hydraulic press! This alone is what the island countries need most!
　　What is the function of the hydraulic press? Manufacture of various shapes of components, forging metals, etc., all require a hydraulic press, and the pressure of a hydraulic press is an important indicator of a country's industrial level!
　　If there are 50,000 tons of hydraulic presses, it can greatly improve the industrial level of the island country, especially, to start building the latest warships for them to provide the most reliable guarantee!
　　 As for the latest marine steam turbines, I can’t wait!
　　 During the First World War, German warships were built in large quantities and accumulated a wealth of experience, especially the research on marine power systems, which is even more advanced in the world!
　　 In fact, the two mentioned by Cyric were originally projects that have been carried out in history. It can be said that it is precisely because of the output of these two that the island nation’s Yamato-class battleship project can proceed smoothly.
　　 This is a huge battleship with a full load and displacement of up to 70,000 tons! It is also a huge test for the island country. Although the island country also has experience in manufacturing large warships, and once manufactured 410mm heavy artillery, it is now manufacturing such a larger warship, and the caliber is expected to reach 460mm, the same There is a big problem.
　　 Now, the help from Germany is very timely!
　　 "So, what do you want?" Yamamoto Fifty-Six asked happily.
　　 "The technology of the Akagi aircraft carrier." Cyric said: "This is what we want most."
　　 Aircraft carrier! During World War II, many classic battles took place. For example, the sinking of the battleship Hood was a classic battleship battle. In the Western Pacific, there were a lot of battles between aircraft carriers.
　　 Speaking of aircraft carriers, apart from the United States, I am afraid that the islanders have the most experience. Germany wants to obtain technology from the United States. That is a fantasy, so it can only be obtained from the island countries!
Akagi was not an aircraft carrier from the beginning. It originally belonged to the Amagi-class battlecruiser and planned to build 4 ships. Because of the signing of the Washington Naval Treaty, the Akagi 1 Amagi 2 was transformed into an aircraft carrier, and the Kaohsiung 4 Atago was converted into an aircraft carrier. tear down.
　　 After the 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake in Japan, the hull of the No. 1 ship Amagi was completely destroyed, so only one Akagi was built in this class, so it can also be called the Akagi class.
　　 This is a large aircraft carrier with a full load displacement of 40,000 tons and a 260-meter flight deck! Although it was rebuilt halfway, it is of great reference significance for Germany to build its own aircraft carrier!
　　The exchange of interests between the two parties must be equivalent. Now, what Germany needs is also the core technology of the island country!
　　 "If you need it, we can also transfer our high-power marine diesel engine technology to you." Seeing that the other party was still hesitating, Cyrek added another condition.
　　 Marine diesel engine! During World War I, marine diesel engine technology has been greatly developed, and one of the most suitable places for use is of course submarines!
In the confined space of a submarine, if a gasoline engine is installed, the gasoline is easy to evaporate, which may cause catastrophic consequences. In terms of diesel engines for submarines, German technology is absolutely the latest. In the late World War I, German submarines were all All diesel engines!
　　 plus this technology! See if the devils exchange or not!
　　 The reception on the first day was over quickly. Of course Yamamoto Fifty-Six could not make the decision on his own. He needed to consult his superiors, but Cyric knew that they had absolutely no reason to refuse!
　　In history, the islanders could give all the Akagi technology to Germany. Now, it is still possible. After all, both sides have common interests, and both sides have common enemies!
　　 Sure enough, after staying in the island country for one night, the next day UU read www.uukanshu.com, Cyric was kindly invited to the port outside Tokyo.
　　Islanders are still very real. Now that they have decided to exchange all the Akagi's technology, they simply invited Cyrik and others to board the Akagi!
　　 Now, island nations are constantly exploring the form of aircraft carriers. After all, aircraft carriers are still new.
　　 For example, under the Akagi, there is a double-layer hangar. At the same time, there are 3 flight decks divided into 3 layers in a stepped manner.
The upper deck is a dual-purpose deck for take-off and landing, with a total length of 190 meters and a width of 30.5 meters. The middle and lower floors are connected to the double-layer hangar for aircraft to take off directly from the hangar. The middle deck is for small aircraft to take off and is about 15 meters long. The lower deck is longer for large aircraft to take off, 56.7 meters long and 23 meters wide.
　　 This is completely different from a large platform on the upper level of the later generations, and the configuration of the hangar below.
　　 At the same time, this guy has his own firepower!
　　 10 200mm caliber artillery, installed on the deck before the bridge and on both sides of the rear of the hull, used to hit cruisers and other surface targets.
　　 It can be said that it is almost a combination of cruiser and aircraft carrier.
　　 nondescript.
　　 Later generations of Germany adopted this scheme, and the Zeppelin aircraft carrier created was simply a heavy-duty cruiser! Yes, the Kiev class of the Soviets can find their companions here.
　　 Although this warship has many problems, it is still one of the most advanced aircraft carriers in this era!
　　 Cyric knows the layout of future generations of aircraft carriers, but it is impossible to make a real aircraft carrier just by knowing a rough idea. The design drawings of an aircraft carrier require at least a few cars for transportation. This is a big project.
