"Are you kidding me? How can we give up on the firearms market there? Now, we're not selling weapons anymore. We're selling the production line. We'll tear down two 98K assembly lines, erase all the symbols, and send them to Mr. Jiang in the name of the Ying people. As for the quality of the product, it's all up to you."
" Send the 100 Maxim machine guns, 3000 rifles, and 30 37mm cannons to our other friend. They don't have much money, so they can only afford these things. Change the departure date of the warship. Although they are very tight-lipped, they probably won't betray us…"
Rudolph shook his head. He still had to make money. It was better to exchange these things that were about to be eliminated for the required funds and resources…
Baylor knew that Rudolph was going to trick the Japanese. Shanshan smiled and didn't say anything else. As the adjutant and secretary, she was the closest person to Rudolph. Naturally, she knew many secrets that the higher-ups didn't know.
It was also because he knew these secrets that he was more convinced by Rudolph's talent and was more loyal to him.
If such an all-rounder could not lead Germany to victory, then Germany would really be finished, and there would be no hope of revival.
At this time, Rudolph naturally did not know what Baylor was thinking. The problems in Japan and the Far East were just one of the many things on hand. It was impossible to spend too much time thinking about it. It was too far away and there was nothing she could do. What happened had little impact on the country. Now she had begun to consider the future of submarines.
It could be said that the United States had achieved great results when their main fleet was far inferior to the United States.
The U-shaped submarine was the most mysterious weapon in the history of World War II. Its tactics were also known as wolf tactics. In the Atlantic Ocean during World War II, U-boats unscrupulously " hunted " the allied ships on the sea traffic lines.
The total number of submarines reached more than 2100. During the war, submarines sank 395 combat ships (including 3 battleships, 17 aircraft carriers, 32 cruisers, and 122 destroyer) and more than 5000 transport ships, weighing more than 20 million tons.
It could be said that he had contributed greatly and even changed the course of World War II. Without these U-boats, the allies would not have been able to fight so hard.
However, in the later stages, the submarines also showed their weakness. Due to the limited resources, the number of submarines left the factory decreased again and again, while the alliance's anti-submarine measures and strength were strengthened.
In fact, Germany's U-shaped submarines used diesel, which was less volatile, as fuel. Gasoline was not suitable as fuel in a confined space. Most of them were only considered small submarines according to their tonnages. Only those with more than 600 tons were considered medium-sized submarines, and those with 2,000 tons were considered large submarines. As for the difference between nuclear power and nuclear power, there was no need to pay attention to it for the time being in this era where even the atomic bomb had not appeared.
The advantage of the ship's weight was obvious. Not only could it have a longer voyage, it could stay at sea for a longer time, increasing its threat range, and it could also carry more ammunition and install more advanced equipment to increase its power.
Moreover, the submarine spent most of its time on the surface of the sea. Although it was not easy to be discovered underwater, its speed was extremely slow. The time it could stay underwater was also limited. It was far from being comparable to the time on the surface of the sea. Under the condition of good weather and sea conditions, the efficiency of visual anti-submarine search was higher. It could find submarines in the state of water surface at about 10 nautical miles, submarines in the state of submarine gas pipe at about 5 nautical miles, and submarines in the state of periscope within 1 - 3 nautical miles. It can also detect submarines within 1 nautical mile of the submarine.
The advantages of medium-sized and large-sized submarines could be reflected. They could find targets from further away and dive deeper. The possibility of being discovered by sight was smaller, so they could choose to attack more time, not just at sea.
However, the large weight also brought more trouble. First of all, it increased the noise. Nowadays, high-power engines and propellers would produce a lot of noise. Sonar had long been available. Excellent sonar detectors could detect the noise emitted by submarines above 90 decibels. If the noise was below 90 decibels, the sound of the propeller would be mixed with the noise in the sea and it would be difficult to distinguish.
Therefore, Rudolph began to order the development of subsequent submarine models. He first proposed to increase the submarine's weight, but proposed that the submarine design should refer to the shape of water droplets, which could greatly reduce the submarine's underwater resistance and increase its speed.
Then, he changed the diesel-powered vehicle to a battery-and-diesel hybrid. When he was on the sea, he used diesel-powered propulsion while storing electricity in the battery. When he was underwater, he used batteries. Of course, the efficiency of solar energy was very low now. The conversion rate was only less than 5%.
