ALL NOVEL Chapter 194
The design sketch of the battleship has come out, and then the two sides officially entered the price negotiation stage.
The offer from China is 250 million Reichsmarks.
After hearing this price, Navy Minister Raeder also took a breath of cold air.
This price is really amazing.
This is basically equivalent to 100 million US dollars. It can be described as a sky-high price.
You know, when the little mustache came to power,
Wall Street in the United States only funded him less than 50 million US dollars.
It was precisely with this 50 million US dollars that the little mustache obtained a lot of political capital through propaganda and eventually sat on the throne of prime minister.
So the little mustache actually has a very good relationship with Wall Street in private.
To a certain extent, the outbreak of World War II was also driven by American capital.
At least it has an indirect relationship with them.
The high price of 100 million US dollars is definitely unacceptable to Germany.
The two sides then entered into fierce negotiations.
After three days of negotiations, the two sides finally set the price at 210 million Reichsmarks.
After all, it is a 70,000-ton super battleship.
Although 200 million Reichsmarks exceeded their expectations, they had to accept this price.
Because China also made a promise.
They will deliver these two battleships to them within 328 years.
A 70,000-ton super battleship can be launched and put into service within three years.
This speed can be said to be quite amazing.
It seems that the shipbuilding technology of the Chinese people is probably higher than they imagined.
They really want to figure out how China has changed from a backward agricultural country to a country that can build super battleships.
In addition to military orders.
The two sides have also reached a number of economic cooperation.
For example, they have reached an oil cooperation agreement with China.
They are still very surprised that China actually has a large amount of oil for sale.
And the price of Chinese oil is lower than the international price.
The only thing that makes them worried is that oil needs to be settled in Huayuan.
And Huayuan is not an international currency, and China has just been established for a short time.
Huayuan is a completely emerging currency.
However, when they knew that Huayuan could be exchanged for gold, their concerns were dispelled to a certain extent.
What's more, they still need a lot of Huayuan to import some of China's goods and resources.
So the two sides also reached an oil agreement.
China needs to provide Germany with 5 million tons of oil every year.
Calculated at a price of $1.02 per barrel of oil.
These 5 million tons of oil are equivalent to 36.5 million barrels.
The price is 37.2 million US dollars.
If it needs to be settled in Chinese yuan, it will be 186 million.
This number is not small.
5 million tons of oil is definitely enough for Germany.
This has also solved their concerns about oil to a certain extent.
At least before the outbreak of the war, they don’t have to rely too much on Romanian oil.
With this oil agreement, Germany can also take a certain initiative.
In addition to oil, the two sides have also reached a number of economic cooperation agreements.
After the two sides signed a contract to build two super battleships.
And I don’t know how some news about this matter leaked out.
After the dog-nosed England and France got some news, they were immediately shocked.
"The Chinese are going to build two super battleships for Germany?
Is this news confirmed?"
Downing Street was greatly shocked.
"The authenticity of this intelligence is very high, almost certain."
The intelligence department is very sure of the accuracy of this intelligence.
Because they obtained it at a great cost.
Suddenly, all the ministers looked at each other in bewilderment.
"This is absolutely not allowed. The Chinese must not do this. This will completely disrupt the balance of the European seas."
"But will the Chinese give up the order for these two super battleships because of us?
We are not in a position to threaten the Chinese now."
"What should we do then? Let the Germans acquire two super battleships?"
"The Washington Naval Treaty has become a treaty that restricts us.
I suggest contacting the signatory countries to release the treaty in advance, and we should also build our own super battleships.
Only in this way, when facing the German super battleships, we will have warships to deal with them."
"Our navy does need more advanced battleships. I agree with this plan."
"But this is a huge pressure on our economy."
"No matter how great the pressure is, it must be overcome. Our Imperial Royal Navy also needs super battleships to maintain our position."
In the end, this bill was sent to both houses and passed with a high vote.
The appearance of the Huaxia battleship deeply stimulated their nerves.
The pride of being the world's number one navy also felt challenged.
A strong maritime force is the foundation for them to maintain this huge colony.
So they will not allow such a thing to happen. (To read the violent novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
France is basically in the same boat with England.
They also agreed to release the Washington Naval Treaty in advance.
Next is the Eagle Sauce side.
Under the joint pressure of England and France, the Eagle Sauce side has no objection. As for
Italy, there is no need to think about it. Of course, they agreed.[]
They have long wanted to build more powerful battleships.
As for the other treaty countries, they are all younger brothers, and they don't agree to it.
So in March 1935, many countries gathered in Washington again and announced that the Second Washington Naval Treaty was invalid.
When Jiang Fan heard the news, he also showed an inexplicable expression.
It seems that the plan of the United States was successful.
It dragged all countries into the shipbuilding competition in advance.
It also focused their attention on the battleships again.
And it was a super battleship that was expensive and laborious, but had no effect.
Let alone a 100,000-ton battleship, even a 200,000-ton battleship is just a target at sea.
The missile era has arrived.
This will become a nightmare for the navies of all countries.
Because on this road, China is ahead of other countries for 20 to 30 years.
This will be a huge gap for them to look back.
The Chinese Navy is basically invincible.
When the time entered March, the war in the north also entered a new stage.
At present, China has completed the control of the entire Mengyuan area.
Basically completed the strategic goals of the first phase.
At the same time, the road to Kulun was also built.
The railway from Kulun to Ulan-Ude has also been urgently built.
In addition to the Mengyuan side, the 55th Army and the 35th Army have also begun to take action. They have launched an offensive against the Border Province and the Tibetan Province.
They must recover these two provinces in 35 years.
Especially Fu Zuoyi's 55th Army.
They have received a six-month high-altitude and high-altitude training in Xikang.
The equipment has also been replaced.
They are basically able to adapt to combat in the plateau environment.
Jiang Fan is not worried about whether these two provinces can be taken.
940 But it is certain that the British will definitely make trouble.
They will never let China easily recover the Tibetan Province.
If they really make trouble, Jiang Fan doesn't mind teaching them a lesson.
The main battles are still in Ulan-Ude and Chita.
The Seventh Army and the Third Army are deployed in Ulan-Ude and Chita respectively.
The First Airborne Army will continue to stay in Kyakhta.
If the Soviet army attacks Ulan-Ude, the First Airborne Army can threaten their flanks.
The 41st Army Group is a strategic reserve.
Some of their main forces also stayed in Kyakhta.
The rest of the troops were responsible for occupying and controlling the major areas of Mongolia.
After all, not everyone is honest.
There are many brainwashed people among them.
They began to fight guerrilla warfare with China in the grasslands and deserts.
The 100th Air Assault Division and the Air Force's gunboats are focusing on these rats.
The Soviet Union has also gathered more than 300,000 troops in Irkutsk.
More than 200,000 troops have been gathered in Nerchinsk. Nearly 300,000 troops have been deployed in places such as Birobidzhan and Vladivostok to prevent China from stealing the home.
Nerchinsk is less than 100 kilometers away from Chita and is also one of the node cities on the Far East Railway.
The Soviet Union has completed the deployment of troops.
A war is about to break out.
The commander of this operation in China is Sun Liren, deputy commander of the Northern Theater Command and commander of the Third Army Group.
During the battle in the Gulf, he commanded the 100th Air Assault Division and made great contributions.
Naturally, he was promoted to the commander of the Third Army Group and one of the deputy commanders of the Northern Theater.
