On the power of naval guns in various countries, Italy's Ansaldo mod36 381mm gun is the most powerful, but the price is the pitifully low barrel life.

The second is the 380 mm gun of France and Germany. The two naval guns have their own advantages.

The aspect ratio of German naval gun is 52 times, while that of French naval gun is only 45 times; However, the propellant weight of German naval gun is far less than that of French naval gun.

As a result, the French naval gun obtained greater muzzle kinetic energy, but the Germans also obtained stable internal ballistic performance and improved firing accuracy by using long barrel.

Further down is the 330 mm naval gun of the French navy. The armor piercing power of this naval gun exceeds the 381 mm gun of the proud "hood" of the British Empire.

These are later words. At present, the Soviets are planning to surpass the heavy ship guns of any other country when they have not even built a ship gun of more than 200 mm by themselves!

406 MM! This corresponds exactly to 16 inches. Even in history, it has been 36 years. The Soviets turned their eyes to the United States and hope to get American technical support.

By 37, the Soviets had obtained export licenses from the United States for a total of 9 406 mm naval guns, 900 406 mm shells and 3 equal caliber triple turrets.

Unfortunately, it ended in nothing.

Later, after the signing of the Soviet German non aggression treaty, the Soviets turned to Germany.

The German team provided the design drawings of Bismarck class battleship, large caliber naval gun and turret in time, and agreed to sell the heavy cruiser luzov under construction.

The final agreement signed was that Germany helped the Soviet Union build 16 380 mm naval guns and 8 twin turrets of corresponding caliber. Unfortunately, a year later, when the Soviet Union and Germany went to war, the cannons themselves were built and used by Germany for coastal defense.

Historical experience and living examples tell all countries that if they want to develop military strength, they can only rely on their own ability, and external assistance is useless!

(the hero of East China once again thinks of the peace model project and sighs!)

These are aftereffects. At the same time, these aftereffects also show that the Soviet Union, relying on its own strength, could not build advanced battleships and ship guns!

Otherwise, why look around for technical assistance?

As for now, not to mention that all the steel production of the Soviet Union is used to build battleships!

At the same time, the Soviets looked far away.

The western world does not like the emergence of a red country. They may have armed interference at any time. The Red Navy must have advanced warships!

Now, Germany is also bullied by Britain, France and other countries. In this way, the two countries have a lot in common. Therefore, the Soviet Union very much hopes to realize its own leapfrog development with the help of German technology!

The Germans easily agreed to export advanced industrial equipment, which is the premise of further cooperation!

Therefore, Orlov, commander of the Red Navy, first raised this question. Anyway, even if the other party refuses, Tukhachevsky can come out and get around.

Sure enough, when he mentioned it, the other party was silent.

Colonel Gunther lutyans, when he heard the request of the Soviets, his heart was already churning. 406mm, you Soviets, are you going to dominate the ocean?

If you give the Soviets the most advanced artillery, you may face the threat of the Soviets' Navy!

"Sorry, the 406mm naval gun is too large. This kind of naval gun must be installed on a warship with a displacement of 40000 tons at least." Said Colonel Gunther lutjans.

With the current national strength of the Soviet Union, can it support 40000 tons of warships? If the Soviet Union did not have such a plan, it would be useless to require 406mm naval guns.

On a 10000 ton cruiser? That gun must overturn!

"At present, we have this plan." Orlov said, "now, with sincerity, we want to ask our German friends for help."

It seems that the Germans don't want to. Tukhachevsky just wanted to make a round, and Shrek finally spoke.

"The 406 mm naval gun sounds exciting." "However, Krupp has not built this caliber naval gun. The Soviet Union can entrust Krupp to provide funds and let Krupp develop it," hirek said

Yes, why not? This is a good opportunity!

Germany's future battleships also need 406 mm naval guns! Restricted by the Treaty of Versailles, Germany can't develop and produce this 406mm naval gun at all!

Now, the opportunity finally comes! The Soviets commissioned Germany to design and build! This reason is really sufficient!

In this way, Krupp can start construction in good faith! Although the Soviet Union has no money, it can still use all kinds of mineral resources to top it!

Besides the naval gun, what about the design of the whole battleship? This is also very important!

Why don't you fool the Soviets and start work in a German shipyard?

Yes, that's it!

"However, with naval guns, it is not a complete battleship. It is a huge plan to build a battleship." "For example, the design of battleships requires an experienced team to be competent. At the same time, the manufacturing of battleships requires a lot of steel, especially high-strength steel. I'm afraid there are many difficulties in the Soviet Union?"

The other party didn't speak, of course, this is the default! Xierik continued: "just right, we can complement each other. We have an advanced design bureau in China that can help you design battleships. At the same time, our domestic steel mills are now overcapacity. As long as you can provide various minerals, we can start to manufacture such battleships."

"Therefore, I propose that you can entrust us, Germany, with the construction of such planned battleships. How about that?" As for money, you can use minerals, food, energy and so on to offset it. In this way, you can manufacture new battleships without consuming your national treasury. "

The Soviet Union was overjoyed by chirek's words, which was like pie falling from the sky!

The Soviet Union had long wanted to start construction, but the Soviet Union lacked technology, foundation and funds! Now, Germany has decided to help! This is simply a way to quickly improve the combat effectiveness of the Navy! In addition to outputting more resources!
