Chapter 489: The Chinese Navy in "Holiday" (Part I)


The economic crisis that broke out in September 1929 was unprecedented in scale.

Because the United States gained much more advantages in World War I than in the original time and space, and its economic situation is much better.

Correspondingly, the losses caused by this crisis are also more serious.

When the United States kneels down, Europe, which is closely connected with them, also kneels down.

While the world's capitalist countries are being tortured to pieces, there are still a few pure lands on earth.

The first is the Third International organization headed by the Soviet Union.

Due to the characteristics of their own communalist system and minimal economic exchanges with the outside world, they suffered minimal losses.

The second pure land is the Chinese-led People's Revolutionary League and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization.

Countries with a science and social system are not as closed as the Soviet system, but they are also not completely laissez-faire about economic operations like European and American countries.

Mr.

Wen has no faith in the "invisible hand".

If this thing was reliable, there would be no economic crisis.

When China adopted a strict supervision system for the securities market and used mature rules such as "n1", "high limit", "low limit" and other later generations, it was ridiculed by Europe and the United States.

As a result, they all regret it now, so they have to make up for it, and also They all followed suit.

Thanks to this strict supervision and system, as well as the strict management of the financial industry, at the same time, in terms of policies and publicity, measures are also taken to encourage the industrial economy to suppress the virtual economy, such as loan interest rates, industrial loans and financial loans.

If the difference is more than ten times, a 100% mortgage is required, so China's securities market is not developed.

In the eyes of European and American countries, China's securities market is completely disproportionate to its economic aggregate, and they have made a lot of ridicule for this.

But Wen Desi from later generations was very clear about this.

Both theory and historical practice have proved that finance, a digital game that uses money to make money, is not very helpful to the strength of the country, because finance itself is not Materials will be created, but they cannot create machines or food.

They have nothing but numbers.

They can be used as adjustments to the social and economic system, but they must not be used primarily.

If they are overplayed, serious situations will occur.

Therefore, no matter how much the financial industry in Europe and America tries to ridicule and seduce him, he remains the same and continues to adhere to his previous financial policies.

Therefore, although China's securities market has also been affected by the economic crisis, and the Shanghai stock market index has plummeted by about 10, because it was prepared in advance and took drastic measures as soon as it was discovered that the draft was drafted, except for some guys who did not listen to the advice, they fell into trouble. , the domestic losses were not large, but the foreign capital that came to China to prospect for gold suffered heavy losses.

However, crisis is also an opportunity.

Not only did Liu Yang make a lot of money in the previous boom, he also did not let go of this economic crisis.

Before the crisis broke out, this guy led the experts from Xingke Group and Finance Alliance, and pooled the capital of everyone from the Revolution Alliance and the Majia Company to go short on European and American stock markets and shear sheep with foreign predators.

Once again, I went crazy on the European and American stock markets and made a lot of money from it.

My hands cramped from counting the money.

Of course, the negative impact of the economic crisis on China is not limited to the securities market, because a large number of European and American companies have gone bankrupt or suffered heavy losses, and many export orders to Europe and the United States have been cancelled.

Fortunately, the Chinese government intervened in a timely manner and diverted orders to other countries and domestically.

Although there were losses, they were not all lost.

At the same time, during this period of economic crisis, China led its younger brothers to increase infrastructure construction and expand domestic demand.

After nearly a year of trade diversion, China finally successfully reversed the situation.

By 1931, the economy of the entire People's Revolutionary Alliance economic circle not only did not decline, but showed rapid growth.

After all, the foundations of these countries are very weak, and there is a lot of infrastructure construction in the country that has not been completed.

It is just right to take advantage of this opportunity to practice internal skills.

March 1, 1931, 2772 AD, Dalian Shipyard.

Dalian Shipyard is also one of the targets for increasing infrastructure.

There are four shipyards and four slipways under construction in the open spaces on both sides of the factory.

Two of the shipyards are so large that they seem to be larger than a stadium. , more than 300 meters in length and 60 meters in width.

At this time, a group of senior naval officers were visiting these large shipyards accompanied by factory leaders.

Chief Engineer Shan Liang said: "Bureau Li, these are the two new 200,000-ton shipyards built by our factory.

They are 365 meters long, 82 meters wide and 14 meters deep.

After completion, they can build 200,000-ton merchant ships. and a 100,000-ton aircraft carrier.”

"Well, the other two docks are for 100,000 tons, right?"

Li Ang nodded and pointed to the two smaller docks next to them.

Shan Liang replied: "Yes, that is a 100,000-ton shipyard that can build merchant ships and non-aircraft carrier warships of less than 100,000 tons."

"It's a pity that no new battleships will be built in the next few years.

Our navy is currently conducting demonstration work on the next generation of battleships.

Before the end of this work, there will be no new battleships."

Li Ang sighed with great regret.

According to the provisions of the Washington Treaty, warships that have been launched for more than 18 years can be replaced within the quota.

This year, China's four Fuxi-class battleships Fuxi, Nuwa, Houyi, and Chiyou, and two Qinling-class fast battleships Qinling and Taihang have all expired.

It stands to reason that new ships can be built to replace them, but China's The next generation of battleships has been silent.

This made the BB gangsters in the navy anxious.

But it was useless no matter how anxious they were, Wen Desi made it clear that there would be no new battleships until new naval tactics were demonstrated.

Well, this "new naval tactics argument" is actually just one of the reasons.

Wen Desi is also a member of the BB Party.

Before time travel, he made many battleship models himself.

But now that his status is different, he can't just consider his own hobbies.

Battleships are not cheap, and he doesn't want to build a bunch of unusable things in his hands because he made a mistake in the wrong direction.

The new generation of battleships was prepared for World War II.

This kind of thing must be built at a level that can suppress the opponent's World War II technology.

Now it seems that the technological level of this plane is definitely higher than that of the original time and space.

Although Wen Desi prohibits the export of all kinds of high technologies, he will definitely equip his troops with new gadgets.

No matter how confidential something is, once it is equipped in large quantities, it is likely to be leaked unless you hide it at home and don't use it at all.

The great powers are not fools.

If there is no reference, it will definitely take a lot of time for them to explore on their own, but if there is a reference, it will be completely different.

It's always possible to copy a weapon from a cat to a tiger.

Even if they don't know the specific structure and performance of the weapon, they can still get the appearance and general data.

Even if it is impossible to copy it 100%, it will still have some enlightenment.

Therefore, the technological level of the great powers in this plane is at least ten years more advanced than the original time and space.

Although there is no shortage of technical information in Mr.

Wen's hands, and there are also black technologies from later generations, some subsystems that are to be used on warships are not yet mature, so he is going to take it slow.

It is a Navy holiday anyway.

No need to rush at all.

In fact, with the rapid development of China's aviation technology and the maturity of aircraft carrier technology and tactics, whether or not to develop battleships has caused great controversy among senior military and political officials.

The opposition believes that the future will be the era of aircraft carriers.

This has also been verified by history.

Battleships have no future and there is no need to spend money on such things that are destined to become obsolete.

Anyway, China now has more than 20 battleships, which is enough for use.

Those in favor believe that although aircraft carriers are the future kings, battleships are still very useful at this stage of World War II, which has also been verified by history.

Even if the Chinese Navy will use aircraft carriers as the core of its tactics in the future, battleships still have many irreplaceable roles.

Especially in adverse weather conditions where aircraft cannot take off for combat, as well as support deployment, fire suppression, etc., aircraft carriers cannot completely replace these.

And they also believe that battleships have no advantage over aircraft carriers, and that is only if the technological level is the same.

If China's new battleships are equipped with various advanced subsystems that far exceed the technological level of the great powers, they will not be at a disadvantage when facing the aircraft carriers of the great powers. , it is not impossible to hoist the aircraft carrier.

The most important thing is that if China builds new battleships, it can also distort the technology trees of the great powers, trigger a global shipbuilding competition, and lead them all into a pit.

Another reason is that it can boost national morale.

The two sides argued for a long time, and finally Wen Desi made the decision.

"Of course we have to build it.

We don't lack money, nor do we lack technology.

Why not build a battleship?

It's not really useless."

Then he changed the topic and said: "Of course, how to build this battleship must also be demonstrated clearly.

It must be ensured that it will not be hit by enemy aircraft carriers."

In fact, there are such battleships, that is, the four Iowa sisters who have undergone modernization and magic modifications in their original time and space.

After these four battleships have undergone magic modifications, their combat effectiveness has skyrocketed, and they can still compete with the aircraft carriers of the same era.

The new generation of Chinese battleships have the following requirements: 1.

Be able to defend against air attacks from powerful aircraft carriers and carry out effective counterattacks. 2.

The combat effectiveness must overwhelm foreign battleships of the same period and be able to serve as the core of the fleet. 3.

It can serve as the defense backbone of the aircraft carrier formation, and its speed cannot be lower than that of the aircraft carrier.

As for the tonnage of the battleship, Mr.

Wen requested three designs.

The first one was the popular version, which was the "Simplified Version."

This is mainly designed for the young people of the People's Revolutionary League, and the requirement is high cost performance.

Moreover, this kind of battleship will be the main order during the "Navy Holiday Period", so the requirement is that it is a treaty-type battleship, that is, the main gun caliber does not exceed 420 mm, and the standard displacement does not exceed 45,000 tons.

The second type is the standard version, which is the "ordinary paperback version".

It is mainly used by myself and a few wealthy brothers.

Its combat power must be as high as that of a treaty battleship.

The third type is the "rich hardcover version" purely for your own use.

Anyway, you can use whatever is advanced and what is powerful enough to install.

Since these latter two battleships were tasked with "taking people into ditches", they did not require displacement, and the time was very generous.

They were only required to design them before June 1936.

Because Wen Desi did not plan to build it during the holiday, the naval holiday in this plane expired on January 1, 1937 anyway, so he only needed to leave a half-year material organization period and preparation period.

So new battleship requirements were sent to various design institutes, and the "Simplified Version" was the simplest.

This battleship, called Type 209, was designed in 1925, and details were subsequently changed.

Construction of the first Type 209 began in 1927, and five have been built so far.

However, China does not have the equipment for this battleship itself, and all five were built for its younger brothers.

One each is from Chile, Persia, Türkiye, Arabia and Siam.

This cost-effective battleship mainly refers to the design ideas of the "King George V Class" of the original time and space.

This battleship is famous for being cheap and high-quality, and is only a little more expensive than the super heavy cruiser, or even the Hipper class.

The Heavy Patrol is more expensive than that, but if it comes to fighting, it's easy to beat three.

Model 209 is also based on this idea, it is really cheap.

Nine 420mm main guns, 45,000 standard platoon, and a lot of room for upgrades and modifications.

Wen Desi planned to use this battleship as the standard battleship of the People's Revolutionary Alliance in the future.

The design of the standard version of the battleship for personal use has not yet been completed, but this battleship mainly refers to the Yamato class of the original time and space.

The Yamato class is undoubtedly the pinnacle of battleships in the original time and space.

It can be said that it has a perfect balance of firepower, protection and maneuverability, and has a beautiful appearance.

The most important thing is that it is very cost-effective and has been rarely manufactured in history.

That is because Japan is too poor.

If the United States gets this excellent design and doesn't make a dozen of them, it will not be the United States.

Of course, the shortcomings of the Yamato-class are also obvious.

The most important ones are the secondary battery and air defense, especially the air defense, which is its biggest weakness.

This is also the direct reason why the Yamato-class was eventually sunk.

Of course, China's design institute will not copy the Yamato class, but only borrow its excellent parts.

According to the tradition of Chinese designers, this must be modified.

This battleship, tentatively named Type 210, has not yet completed its design.

Its standard displacement is about 60,000 to 70,000 tons.

The last "rich hardcover version", which President Wen calls the ultimate battleship, has just begun to be designed and prepared, and there is not even a shadow of it.

However, based on President Wen's requirements, the displacement of this battleship will definitely not be less than 90,000 tons.

In fact, in addition to these three battleships, the Navy has also developed a "quasi-battleship", or "modern pre-dreadnought".

Well, its official name is "Fire Support Ship," which is attributed to an amphibious ship, not a battleship.

"How is our construction going now?"

Li Ang asked.

This is his second time serving as Director of Naval Equipment.

"The hull has been completed, and we built it in the name of a large icebreaker," Shan Liang said with a smile
