Chapter 313 Between the War and the Battle (10)

The new round of peace talks sent by the United States and the latest Japanese idea sent by Cole arrived at Hoffman almost the same day. At this time, he was accompanying Sperer, Denitz and others to inspect the shipyard and port. On the one hand, this inspection was to welcome the naval officers and soldiers who had just completed the Caribbean Battle, and on the other hand, to check the progress of warship construction.,↗

The naval construction project is in full swing this time. In addition to the Beihai officially in service, the first xxx-class super submarine has been newly built and is ready for sea trials.

The xxx class submarine is a completely epoch-making project, especially after Japan finally abandoned the construction project of the Iran 400-class submarine, the xxx class is the largest submarine in the world. After completion, the underwater displacement is as high as 6,800 tons. It can be deployed globally with diesel engine power. This is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is that the task of this submarine was to carry a rocket to carry 4 V6 missiles to perform attack missions.

The endurance of arbitrary deployment around the world, the fastest underwater speed of 4 knots, the range of 2,600 kilometers of missiles and the ability to carry the first-generation super bombs give the xxx class an unparalleled strategic advantage.

Originally, Japan wanted to build four Iran 400s to carry out Panama strategy missions, and even arranged a budget in Maruxin's plan. However, with Panama being destroyed and threatened by Germany, this project became unnecessary for the time being, and the joint fleet could not imagine what a giant submarine with more than 6,000 tons could do. Due to the Yunlong modification, the process of Axis-class shipbuilding was in full swing. In order to focus on strength and save costs, the Shimama Headquarters finally cut off the project and embezzled the costs to other warships.

Hoffmann also had four requirements for the construction of the first batch of xxx-class submarines, the first of which was required to be completed in April 1945, and the remaining three must be completed before the end of 1946, and then it will be withdrawn from larger, more advanced and more contemporary giant submarines based on absorption and improvement.

In addition to the xxx class submarine, there are many other things that the shipyard can see: one is the Manyong, which is converted into an air defense ship, which is scheduled to be put into service in July. This will be the world's first warship equipped with tingling air defense firepower without main ship naval guns; the other is the epoch-making missile boat Mosquito class missile boat. According to the Hoffman rocket's "mounting, aboarding, aeroplane, a maneuver, and a derivative", the Navy developed the first missile boat. The ship is based on Germany's most famous S-boat torpedo boat, and has improved the tonnage and airworthiness. The total tonnage and airworthiness of the entire boat are about 275 tons, with a maximum speed of 43 knots, and a cruising capacity of 800 nautical miles. It has two sets of twin-mounted silkworm anti-ship missiles (v3 rocket launching the ship version) and a set of 4-mounted 30mm machine guns.

Mosquito boats and S boats are still very similar in appearance, but the internal difference is large. The torpedo tubes on which S boats rely for their achievements have been cancelled. Those powerful oxygen torpedoes are useless. At the same time, the radar and communication capabilities have been greatly enhanced. If it is proved that the mosquito boats can be successful, Germany plans to build at least 100 in batches. Although the lethality of mosquito boats against battleships is a problem, at least there is no difficulty in facing warships of the level below cruisers, and their own survival chances will be greatly improved. It can launch an attack before it is far beyond the enemy's naval gun attack range 35 kilometers away.

At the same time, frigates with larger tonnage and higher-level levels are also in the design. The latter will be around 1,500 tons, and missiles are still used as the main combat means. However, unlike the mosquito boats that perform a single anti-ship mission, the latter will comprehensively perform anti-ship, air defense and escort tasks, and have minimum anti-submarine capabilities.

Then there were different ideas and plans such as missile destroyers, missile cruisers, missile battleships, etc. that made Hoffman laugh and cry finally appeared, but he couldn't say anything.

Overall, the test results made him more satisfied, and all aspects met the requirements. In addition to the reliability and accuracy of the missile, he frowned a little, soon his attention was attracted by these two telegrams, and he asked, "What do you think about the Americans?"

"Americans are still talking about peace conditions with evasion, but still do not realize that they have no way to choose from." Keitel criticized dissatisfiedly, "South America is an ironic fact, and the United States actually lists it seriously as a condition."

“So, what is your suggestion?”

"Tell them directly what we offer."

Hoffman shook his head: "Our offer will definitely increase compared to the last time, which is undoubtedly the case, but simply expressing it that does not fit our position. I think we can first make a fuss about Newfoundland and governments in exile."

"What do you mean?"

"Americans must first recognize that Newfoundland is an inseparable part of Great Britain, and then discuss which British government is under the jurisdiction of the British government; secondly, the United States must cancel its support and recognition of governments in exile in various countries. These people either automatically become Americans or go to their homeland for independent interrogation, and Germany will not interfere."

Hoffman's move was ill-intentioned: first, he let the United States give up control of Newfoundland regardless of scatteredness, and secondly, he used other means to destroy the United States' ally system.

"If Americans can't even agree to these, then don't talk about peaceful coexistence with Europe, or about maintaining the status quo in Central America and jointly developing it."

"As for the package transactions such as Indochina, it's a bit of a headache and I don't know how to price it."

According to Germany's offer, the rocket technology (referring to the extent that France obtained) is worth more than 10 billion yuan. Then Japan plans to trade with two archipelagos. According to the area and importance, the southern part of Indochina is far more important than Samoa and the Solomon Islands. Japan's asking price of 50 billion marks is "very" normal, and it can even be opened higher in proportion.

Hoffman knew that this was impossible. Although the French were anxious to ask for this territory, they would never offer a high price of 50 billion. The French expected that he would probably reach 15 billion at most. In this way, the price system would not be well built.

"If you find this price difficult to determine, I suggest you take a breakup trick," Sperer suggested. "We require more islands to be exchanged in Rocket Technology, while in southern Indochina, we are just making connections and not directly participating in pricing. It is recommended that Japan and France discuss carefully on their own so as not to think that we are doing things in this."

Hoffman nodded distressedly: "This is the only way for the time being."
