In history, the Soviets visited Germany, but after the Soviet Union and Germany signed the Soviet German non aggression treaty, Germany began to provide some advanced military industrial technologies and samples to the Soviet Union.

That is, during this period, the people's Committee of the Soviet shipbuilding industry formed an investigation team in 1939 to visit German shipyards and investigate the latest German warships, including the "Graf? Aircraft carrier Zeppelin.

At that time, among the Soviet delegation were the designers of the 45th Central Institute of science, who said "Graf? Zeppelin's perfect aviation outfitting, first-class self-defense weapon system and advanced welding technology are greatly appreciated. Therefore, the Soviet delegation immediately proposed to buy a ship of the same type from Germany, but the German side politely refused this request.

Meanwhile, as compensation, Germany agreed to provide "Graf? The anti-aircraft guns and fire control system of the Zeppelin. This is the only shipborne anti-aircraft gun with two-way stable structure in the world, which can reduce the impact of ship body swing on shooting, and its overall performance is first-class. The supporting fire control system adheres to the tradition of German precision instruments, and its performance is ahead of similar products in Britain and the United States.

And now, it's only 35 years of summer!

This is no exception, mainly because the last trip to Moscow by Chirac laid a good foundation. Germany has helped the Soviet Union build two warships, and the Soviet Union is quite satisfied. At this time, just in time for the launch of the German aircraft carrier Zeppelin, the Soviets were shocked, so they came again!

Soviets, what are you doing here? Order the same aircraft carrier from Germany, of course!

During this period, Stalin's mind began to change gradually. With the continuous development of the domestic economy of the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union should have a strong fleet!

The plan for battleships has been launched in the Soviet Union. When the plan began, the Soviet Union finally found that it was too difficult to build 10000 ton battleships independently by relying on its own industrial level!

Not to mention anything else, it is already quite difficult for the body of this kind of warship. The Soviet Union did not have enough steel!

The planned aircraft carrier could not be started, and the Soviet Union could not afford it.

At this time, they finally remembered the original promise of Shrek that as long as the Soviet Union provided enough mineral resources, they could exchange warships from Germany! Even if it is an aircraft carrier, Germany can make it for the Soviet Union!

In the past, the construction of two warships was almost in this mode. Germany strictly abided by the contract, completed all the construction work according to the normal process, and handed it over to the Soviet Navy, which is also a prerequisite for the continued cooperation between the two sides!

So the Soviets came again, led by Tukhachevsky!

Now Tukhachevsky has become the field marshal of the Soviet Union. He is tall and has a broad face. When he saw Shrek, he immediately shook hands with Shrek.

"Hi Rick, nice to meet you." Tukhachevsky said.

"Yes, I heard it was you. I came right away." "Now, let me show you around our warship," said Shrek

In fact, Chirac came for the second time. Under the leadership of the factory personnel, Chirac took Tukhachevsky and his party through the huge crane on the wharf and entered the aircraft carrier under outfitting.

At this time, the upper deck of the aircraft carrier has been laid. In order to increase the strength of the warship and deal with possible dive bombers, this aircraft carrier does not use wooden deck like other aircraft carriers, but lays a thick steel deck, which is enough to block the bombing of ordinary bombs!

Now, standing on the deck, you can feel the generosity of this aircraft carrier! In particular, the front deck looks strange!

"I wish our navy could have such an aircraft carrier." After inspecting the aircraft carrier for more than an hour, all the people came to the conference room at the wharf. Tukhachevsky said excitedly: "we're here this time to ask you to help us build the same aircraft carrier."

Just after that, Tukhachevsky saw shirek's face and there was helplessness.

"Why, are you in trouble?" Tukhachevsky said.

Didn't you discuss this proposal before? Moreover, the previous contracts were well completed. The big deal is that the Soviet Union exported more minerals. Can't it make up for it?

"Yes." "At present, our navy construction is going on vigorously, and our shipyards are at full power. You should see that there are workers from other countries in our shipyards, and even from China," chirek said

"Moreover, building an aircraft carrier requires a lot of resources." "If you still pay in the previous way, the transportation of minerals needs to be increased dozens of times. It's too difficult to rely on the existing means," said shirek. Unless... "

"Unless what?" Tukhachevsky asked.

"Unless the railway can be unified." Shirek said: "the current transportation, if using trucks, is too wasteful. Railways must be used. However, the railways in the Soviet Union are not common with those in Europe. If the railway of the Soviet Union can be transformed into the same width as that of Europe, it will be very convenient to transport minerals. "

This time, Lao maozi came here for a request. Taking advantage of this opportunity, we must get the railway done!

Although there are good reasons, Lao maozi must be on guard. Everyone knows what railway specifications mean.

In later generations, Yan Xishan's railways on his own territory are not common with those outside, that is, he doesn't want outside forces to infiltrate. Now, if they are the same as those in Europe, it will be more convenient to transport strategic materials in the future!

Xierik didn't give Tukhachevsky time to think at all. Xierik continued to mention his own conditions: "the railway should continuously transport all kinds of minerals in the Ural Mountain from the border to the Ural Mountain. Even so, we have to wait until a year or two later. When these minerals are enough to maintain the cost of the aircraft carrier, we can start construction. At that time, Our aircraft carrier has also completed construction and just emptied the slipway. "

Hilrick made it clear that even if a large amount of ore is imported, it will have to wait!

Now, Germany is very nervous and has no time! Only when the Soviet Union transported enough minerals first, can the slipway be empty here for construction! If the Soviet Union wanted Germany to build an aircraft carrier, it had to agree to these requirements!
