Yamamoto, as the technical director of the Naval Aviation Department, was specially responsible for the suitability of naval equipment. When he learned that the son-in-law of the Krupp family, major hirik, who represented the German government behind him, came, he immediately asked for instructions to meet him in person!

The tatami on his knees and the geisha with lipstick on his mouth are all island welcome, which makes xierik quite unaccustomed.

"Xijun, welcome to the island country very much." Yamamoto speaks German! Although they don't speak very fluently, but also with that unique tone, learning a foreign language is the most difficult for Islanders, because they are born with a straight tongue, but this still deepens the goodwill of the group.

"We came with the sincerity of mutual cooperation." "Let's take what we need and develop together. What do you think?"

"I wonder where you intend to cooperate?" Yamamoto asked.

"We mainly intend to carry out some cooperation in industrial technology." "For example, we know your industrial needs, so we intend to export 50000 ton hydraulic compressors and the latest high-power marine steam turbines to you," said Shrek

50000 ton hydraulic press! This alone is what the island countries need most at present!

What is the function of hydraulic press? Hydraulic press is needed to manufacture various shapes of components, forging metals, etc., and the pressure of hydraulic press is an important symbol to measure the industrial level of a country!

If there is a 50000 ton hydraulic press, it can greatly improve the industrial level of the island country. In particular, it can provide the most secure guarantee for them to start building the latest warships!

As for the latest marine steam turbine, I can't wait!

During World War I, German warships were built in large quantities and accumulated rich experience, especially the research on marine power system, which is at the world advanced level!

In fact, the two items mentioned by Chirac are actually projects that have been carried out in history. It can be said that it is precisely because of the output of these two items that the Yamato class battleship plan of the island country can be carried out smoothly.

This is a huge warship with a full load displacement of 70000 tons! It is also a great test for the island countries. Although the island countries also have experience in manufacturing large warships and have once manufactured 410 mm heavy guns, there are also great problems in manufacturing such larger warships, and it is expected that the caliber will reach 460mm.

Now, Germany's help is quite timely!

"So, what do you want?" Yamamoto asked happily.

"The technology of aircraft carrier Akagi." "That's what we want most," said Shrek

Aircraft carrier! During World War II, there were many classic battles. For example, the sinking of the battleship hood was a classic battle example of battleship bombardment, while a large number of aircraft carrier duels took place in the Western Pacific.

Speaking of aircraft carriers, apart from the United States, I'm afraid the island people have the most experience. It's impossible for Germany to obtain technology from the United States, so it can only be obtained from the island countries!

Chicheng was not an aircraft carrier at the beginning. It was originally a Tiancheng class Battlecruiser and planned to build four. Because of the signing of the Washington Naval Treaty, No. 1 Tiancheng, No. 2 Chicheng was transformed into an aircraft carrier, and No. 3 Kaohsiung, No. 4 Aita was dismantled.

Later, because the great Kanto earthquake in Japan in 1923 completely destroyed the body of No. 1 ship Tiancheng, only one Chicheng ship was built in this class, so it can also be called Chicheng class.

This is a large aircraft carrier with a full displacement of 40000 tons and a flight deck of 260 meters long! Although it is transformed halfway, it is also of great significance for Germany to build its own aircraft carrier!

The exchange of interests between the two sides must be equivalent. Now, what Germany needs is also the core technology of the island country!

"If you need it, we can also transfer our technology of high-power marine diesel engine to you." Seeing that the other party was still hesitating, Shrek added another condition.

marine diesel! During World War I, marine diesel engine technology has been greatly developed. One of the most suitable places to use is, of course, submarines!

In the confined space of submarines, if equipped with gasoline engines, the gasoline is easy to volatilize, which may cause disastrous consequences. In terms of diesel engines for submarines, German technology is absolutely the latest. In the later stage of World War I, German submarines were all diesel engines!

Plus this technology! See if the devils exchange!

The first day's reception was soon over. Of course, Yamamoto can't make his own decisions. He needs to ask his superiors for instructions. However, xirick knows that they have absolutely no reason to refuse!

In history, the islanders can give all the technology of the Chicheng to Germany. Now, they can still. After all, both sides have common interests and common enemies!

Sure enough, after a night in the island country, the next day, Shrek was warmly invited to the port outside Tokyo.

The islanders are still very real. Since they have decided to exchange all the technologies of the Chicheng, they simply invited shirek and others directly to board the Chicheng!

Now, island countries are constantly exploring the form of aircraft carriers. After all, aircraft carriers are still new things.

For example, there is a double deck hangar under the Chicheng. At the same time, there are three flight decks, which are ladder shaped and divided into three layers.

The upper deck is a dual-purpose take-off and landing deck, with a total length of 190 meters and a width of 30.5 meters. The middle and lower floors are connected with the double-layer hangar for aircraft to take off directly from the hangar. The middle deck is about 15 meters long for small aircraft, and the lower deck is longer for large aircraft to take off, with a length of 56.7 meters and a width of 23 meters.

This is completely different from the configuration of a large platform on the upper layer and a hangar below.

At the same time, this guy has his own firepower!

Ten 200 mm guns are installed on the deck in front of the bridge and on both sides of the rear of the ship body to attack water targets such as cruisers.

It can be said that it is almost a combination of cruisers and aircraft carriers.

neither fish nor fowl.

Later generations of Germany adopted this scheme, and the Zeppelin aircraft carrier is simply a heavy aircraft cruiser! Yes, the Soviets, the Kiev class of later generations, can find companions here.

Although this warship has many problems, it is still one of the most advanced aircraft carriers in this era!

Xierik knows the layout of future aircraft carriers, but it is impossible to make a real aircraft carrier only by knowing a general idea. The design drawings of an aircraft carrier need to be transported by at least a few cars, which is a big project.
