Originally, the Soviets wanted to build their own battleships, but it was obvious that their own industrial capabilities were not enough to build such a high-demand thing. Or rather, what they built could only be garbage.
Just one high-quality steel would be enough to consume all of their steel.
At this time, they thought of the country of Dé. There was no doubt about the industrial ability of the country of Dé. Moreover, they happened to have what they lacked. The only thing left was whether the people of Dé were willing and the price.
After all, only six countries had the ability to build aircraft carriers, and the quality of aircraft carriers from France and Italy was simply not up to standard, and they would not exchange them. Kiel Shipyard
So Tuchachevsky came again, even though they didn't really trust the people of the country.
"Rudolph tells me it's nice to meet you!”Tuchachevsky extended his right hand and said.
"Marshal, I'm not gay, but I can make a good friend. When I heard that it was you, I immediately came over. I didn't have time to deal with some matters in the foreign education department.”
"As for the aircraft carrier problem you mentioned, I can take you to visit it.”
Rudolph smiled and shook hands with Tuchachevsky.
Then, they were led by the shipyard staff to the dock and entered the aircraft carrier that was being built.
At this time, the aircraft carrier had just begun construction. It looked like the structure was almost complete, but it was actually far from complete. The main structure would only be completed in two years, and it would only be officially used in half a year.
The Zeppelin aircraft carrier was designed to be 262.5 meters long, 31.5 meters wide, 240 meters long runway, 27 meters model, and 31000 tons of displacement at full load.
At Rudolph's request, a large number of cannons were grinded out of the original design, leaving only a small number of anti-air weapons. This was to reduce the weight and allow more space carriers to be installed. The overtime was made of alloy steel, which was different from the wood overtime that was commonly used now.
After a series of modifications, the number of aircraft carriers increased from 42 to more than 80, which was very close to the top aircraft carriers in the late Second World War.
"Mr. Rudolph, our navy also hopes to have a large aircraft carrier, so we hope that your country can help us build two aircraft carriers, one main aircraft carrier and one escort aircraft carrier.”
Tuha and the others came out with Rudolph after visiting for more than ten minutes. The aircraft carrier that had just been built could not be seen at all, so both parties quickly arrived at the office of the factory.
Carriers were divided into main carriers and escort carriers. One large and one small often formed an aircraft carrier formation. The escort carriers were smaller and had fewer aircraft, but they could carry out more missions, such as reconnaissance, escort, combat, support, and so on.
Rudolph felt a little helpless when he heard this. The Russians wanted to fly before they even learned how to run. However, this was also what he hoped for. The Russians would invest more resources and experience in things that were illusory to them at present, so they would have less energy and resources in other places.
"My friends, you seem to be in some kind of trouble?”Tuha's driver frowned when he saw Rudolph's behavior.
He had thought that everything would go smoothly, but it seemed a little difficult.
"Marshal, our country is also building a large number of battleships and aircraft carriers. Two aircraft carriers like this will be launched in three years, so there are not enough engineers and workers. Moreover, our country has few resources to begin with.”
Rudolph shook his head.
Tuha probably understood why he bullied the driver. The construction period was very urgent, and it was obvious that he wanted to raise the price.
"My friend, you don't have to worry about resources. This is easy to deal with. As long as the price is reasonable, there's no problem at all. As for the construction period, please try your best to help us consider it so that we can finish it quickly.”
Tuchachevsky quickly said.
"Marshal, many of the things you signed with us have not been delivered. If we add two more aircraft carriers now, I don't know when they will be delivered.”
"Unless you build a railway that goes directly from the Ural Mountains and the Baku oil field to East Pronia.
Rudolph said with some difficulty. He had always wanted to trick Russia into changing their terrible traffic situation, but Russia, which lacked funds, obviously did not intend to do so.
Moreover, who knew what the country wanted to do.
Highways and railroads have to be built to facilitate the rapid supply of resources to our Germany. Otherwise, your speed will be too slow, and many exchanges in the future may be delayed because of these.“
" This railway is a dedicated railway and can only be used to transport minerals. This way, the transportation capacity can be maximized. Moreover, we can only start construction after your funds are enough to pay 70% of the cost of the aircraft carrier. At that time, our aircraft carrier theme project will be completed and we will have enough manpower to complete the new work. After all, the aircraft carrier is too expensive. It was not something that could be bought.”
Rudolph said while the iron was hot.
