Although Russia participated in World War I, the Russian Navy did nothing at all. The navy was a money burning project, and Russia in the Czar era was a country with weak industrial foundation and economy. In addition to territory, many are not up to the standards of a big country. Queen Maria was lost in the civil war. The Soviet Navy inherited only the gangut class. And the izmel class Battlecruiser in the shipyard. At that time, the hull completion rate of several ships was more than half. Can be completed. At that time, it was estimated that one Izmer could top two or three gangut. However, the last few Izmer ships were sold to scrap iron.

These years are also the era of great development of Naval Technology in the world! The Soviet Union has just completed industrialization, and there is still a long way to go in the construction of the Navy.

At present, the Soviet Union does not have mature technology for battleships, including naval guns, ship bodies and steel. In short, the Soviet Union can say that it has no technical reserves.

Although in the Czar era, the caliber of naval guns exceeded 300 mm, the design more than ten years ago has been far behind. The west can play a greater power with naval guns of the same caliber!

The Soviet Union does not have any construction technology of battleships! Everything, almost from scratch!

In later generations, the Soviet Union built only 190mm naval guns, while the Soviet battleship, the product of the Soviet great leap forward, planned 406mm naval guns, did not cause any damage at all.

As a researcher in World War II, Shrek knew the story of the Soviet battleship well.

The Soviet Union also wanted its own strong navy. The warships built during the tsarist Russia period were far from meeting the needs of the Soviets themselves. Therefore, the Soviet Navy began its constant pursuit.

Because the Soviet Union did not have any technology, the Soviet Union must seek technical support from the outside world.

At first, it began in Italy.

In 1933, Soviet naval experts visited Italy, and bilateral cooperation began.

Italy received construction contracts for warships and merchant ships from the Soviet Union, while the Soviet Union sold fuel, iron ore and grain to Italy.

The Soviet Navy's dezezinsky class frigates, Tashkent class destroyers, and some of the armaments of the heavy cruiser Kirov built in the Soviet Union come from Italy!

Hilrick's visit this time is naturally aimed at this matter. Instead of cheap Italy, he might as well give it to German shipbuilding enterprises!

Because of the limitation of Versailles treaty, German shipbuilding enterprises have not manufactured large warships in recent years! A large number of construction contracts were signed with the Soviet Union this time!

The Soviet Union has no foreign exchange, but the Soviet Union has sufficient resources! Shrek values not only iron ore, but also rare metal deposits in the Soviet Union! Now in this name, we can import large quantities from the Soviet Union!

This is a plan to kill many birds with one stone, which can enable shipyards and steel mills in Germany to obtain a large number of orders and increase more employment opportunities.

At the same time, it can also carry out strategic reserves and train its own shipbuilding team. With the opportunity of shipbuilding for the Soviet Union, the technology of German warships will make great strides!

The Versailles Treaty does not allow Germany to equip heavy warships, but it does not restrict Germany from manufacturing warships for other countries! After developing these technologies, Germany can make them for itself at any time!

In history, Germany Lost World War II for many reasons. For example, the German Navy is an absolute weakness!

When Germany lost the submarine war, Britain received far more and more sea supplies! If the German Navy has strong force, it may be able to force Britain!

Chirac was determined to support Hitler in building a strong navy. His current visit is to accumulate technology for the future!

Kill many birds with one stone!

The 283mm naval gun is the main naval gun of the battle cruiser of Germany in World War I. It was developed by Krupp. Although it has a special caliber, this naval gun is also famous in history.

For example, in the history of global naval warfare, the only one who used naval guns to destroy enemy aircraft carriers was the masterpiece of German 283mm naval guns!

The Soviets have no ability to produce advanced naval guns! If Germany exports such naval guns to the Soviet Union, it will greatly improve the level of Soviet warships!

Sure enough, hilrick's words shocked the other party, and his eyes were full of surprises. It seems that the cooperation between the two sides in naval technology can be reached smoothly!

The warships built by Italy in history have been given to Germany! Germany needs those orders!

"Mr. Shrek, the 283mm naval gun has a very special caliber, and it is no longer in line with the development of the times. We want a larger caliber. Can you make a 406mm naval ship ******* khachevsky didn't speak. At this time, he was talking about the personnel wearing naval uniforms behind Tukhachevsky, Soviet navy commander Orlov!

Hearing this, sherrickton frowned. Darling, at this time, the Soviets already wanted to build more advanced warships?

406 MM! Maozi really values firepower most!

For lack of mobility, we must first consider firepower. For lack of protection, we must also consider firepower first. In the minds of the Soviets, firepower, firepower!

Although the German Navy did not perform particularly well in World War II, the German Navy was the initiator of the naval arms race in Europe before World War II. The construction of cutting-edge warships at all levels in Europe is almost related to the re emergence of the German Navy.

In particular, the emergence of the "German" class has stimulated senior naval officials in European countries, because almost overnight, the warships in their hands are almost outdated, the cruisers that can run can't beat, and the battleships that can run can't run.

Therefore, other countries began to follow the development of all-round battleships.

France created the "Dunkirk" class Battlecruiser, and two quadruple mounted 330 mm main guns won overwhelming firepower over the "German" class, and occupied an overwhelming advantage in almost all performance.

The Italians built four Veneto class ships. The German Navy also secretly built the Bismarck class, the world's largest battleship at that time.

At the same time, although Britain was constrained by the poor domestic economic form, it did not want the power of the Empire to decline. They built the "King George V" class with a displacement of 35000 tons and a main gun of 356 mm.

At the same time, the "hood", which was left over from the British World War I and later improved, was equipped with 381mm naval guns with the most fierce firepower. At the same time, the number of artillery equipment was also won by "King George V".

At present, just in the 1930s, the navies of most countries did not have more than 400 mm giant guns.

Throughout the 1930s, there were battleships with a main gun caliber of more than 400mm, only the long gate class (410mm) of island countries, the Nelson class (406mm) of Britain and the South Dakota class (406mm) of the United States. These warships built a total of seven, known as seven gibboss.

Now the Soviets want 406mm naval guns!
