Scene 80: The Navy of Qiongya's Five-Year Development Plan
Just as "The Mummy of the Tomb Raiders" was storming around the world, Roger continued to pay attention to the box office report while working with various departments and the heads of the factory to tinker with the "Qiongya Five-Year Development Plan 1927-1931".
At present, the industrial system of Hainan Island has basically taken shape. Regardless of the rest, at least the most basic military system has gradually been improved with the help of the Germans. Some departments that cannot be completed are also stepping up the introduction. At this time, it is time to make plans for the future military development of Qiongya and launch a comprehensive military building action.[]
As for the economy, some supplementary needs to be made in the future and the existing scale will be expanded to deal with the massive productivity required by future wars.
According to the plan in the "First Five-Year Plan", between 1927 and 1931, Qiongya will establish a defensive navy with a smaller scale but complete range of ships.
First of all, the top priority of naval construction work is naturally that the Bismarck-class battleship with only one code-named "Basmarck" class battleship project has not been named. According to the original plan, this super battleship should be launched no later than 1931.
In order to ensure the smooth construction of the Bismarck class, Roger has only been in and out of the Hyundai company for a long time, in order to save money to install Hyundai power, armor and detection equipment for the Bismarck class.
In modern times, Roger placed an order in the name of building movie props and battleship theme parks. Except for the artillery that cannot be handled, he has gotten a lot of good things in other parts.
The power unit is a specially customized engine for Man. Although it is essentially a modern engine, after some external processing, it looks similar to the products from World War II, but its performance is naturally incomparable. At the same time, in order to avoid causing trouble, Roger also specifically asked the engine to use traditional mechanical control. Although Roger's request for Man is very strange, he still agreed to the business considering that it will be used in the imitation "Bismarck" class in the future.
But in fact, Roger did not intend to apply Man's power to the "Bismar" theme park built by modern times. At that time, he would replace the power system with an ordinary modern engine on the grounds of inconvenient operation, and Man's antique engine was transported to Hainan to be installed on a real battleship.
The armor prepared to be installed on the Bismarck level also comes from Hyundai. For this reason, Roger issued an order contract specifically to Krupp. Krupp did not hesitate at all and took it. They only regarded Roger as a fanatical battleship enthusiast who had money and had nowhere to spend. After all, the data on this order completely restored the Bismarck level at that time, and Hyundai had nowhere to use this type of special products. However, Krupp said that if he wanted to completely copy the standards of armored steel at that time, he would have to adjust the production equipment. After all, it has been too long and now they no longer produce products of that level, so they will spend a lot of extra costs. It is recommended that Roger use ordinary steel instead of armored steel. If he really wants to use armored steel, it is best to use modern products, and the performance is better than the original products of Bismarck. Regarding Krupp's proposal, Roger smiled and agreed to use modern armored steel instead of original products.
Similarly, this batch of armored steel Roger did not intend to be installed in the modern "Bismar" theme park, but instead changed the pillars and got it into the Republic of China and equipped it on its own battleship.
As for sonar and radar, they also come from modern times. Although they are civilian products, as products of the 21st century, even civilian products can still outperform the most advanced similar products of World War II.
In addition to modern electronic equipment, the most commonly used stereoscopic rangefinders and other modern customized products were also modern customized products, and their performance was also one level higher than similar products in the Republic of China.
In order to build a super battleship to inspire the spirit of the Chinese people and enhance international status, Roger can be said to have spent money like water, but the Navy is not a battleship. In addition, there must be no supporting ship missing.
In addition to the "A Battleship Project", the Nanhai Shipyard is also preparing to start construction of a light aircraft carrier in the near future. Since the aircraft carrier does not need to use catapults at this time, the technical difficulty is much simpler than that of the battleships. Even most aircraft carriers in the world are not specially designed, but are modified from other ships.
For this light aircraft carrier, Roger did not intend to continue copying the successful ship types in history, but hoped to leave it to his selected group of young designers who are learning from German designers to practice. The requirements for this class of light aircraft carrier Roger are very simple - the metal deck, fully enclosed bow, a displacement of about 10,000 tons, and the speed cannot be too slow. Only these, and the remaining indicators are completely relaxed and allowed to be played by the designers.
In addition to battleships, pocket battleships and aircraft carriers, if you want to deal with the main imaginary enemy of Japan, the necessary targeted measures are very necessary. As an island country, everyone must know the weaknesses of Japan - transportation, sea transportation!
If Japan wants to maintain industrial operation, it must rely on the input of various industrial raw materials from the outside world. Once the input of industrial raw materials from the outside world is cut off, relying solely on domestic production on the island of Japan, let alone making warships, it is a serious problem even whether it can provide enough bullets for ordinary soldiers. Therefore, the route of merchant ships is simply a lifeline for Japan! This is very similar to that of the United Kingdom.
To deal with this type of country, it is obvious that the Germans' answer is very good - the cooperation between attack ships and submarines. Although the Germans did not do well in the attack ships during World War II, it does not mean that this kind of mistake. When the attack ships and submarines threaten the merchant ship's route at the same time, they have to face a difficult multiple-choice question: If the merchant ships are concentrated in formation, the threat of submarines can greatly reduce the threat of submarines, once the attack ship is targeted, a whole fleet can be ruined within a few hours; and if the merchant fleet is dispersed, the possibility of attack ships is greatly reduced, and even if the losses are encountered is only an individual, but in this way, the single merchant ship has become the most delicious delicacy of submarines.
According to the agreement with the Germans, two German-class pocket battleships will be built overtime and will be delivered for use in the first half of 1931 at the latest. The arrival of these two typical attack ships will greatly strengthen the strength of the Qiongya Navy, but they cannot satisfy Roger because their targeting the enemy is not Japan!
Every country has its own combat ideas, while the Japanese navy's idea is a decisive battle between the large fleet! Although they know the importance of maritime transportation, they are completely different from the United Kingdom. The Japanese are extremely stingy with the warships in their hands and always want to use them for fleet duels, but have never provided any decent escort for their merchant ships. With armed fishing boats, they are treated with VIPs! Looking at the entire World War II, Japanese merchant ships were almost completely unprepared!
Therefore, Roger needs a more targeted attack ship.
