Historically, the Soviets visited Germany, but after the Soviet Union signed the Soviet Union's Treaty of Non-aggression between the Soviet Union and Germany, Germany began to provide some advanced military industrial technologies and samples to the Soviet Union.

It was during this period that the People's Committee of the Soviet Shipbuilding Industry formed an inspection team in 1939 to visit various German shipyards and inspect the latest German warships, including the aircraft carrier "Graf Zeppelin" under construction.

At that time, the Soviet delegation included designers from the 45th Central Institute of Science and Technology. They praised the complete aircraft outfitting, first-class self-defense weapon system and advanced welding technology. Therefore, the Soviet delegation immediately proposed to buy a similar ship from Germany, but the German side politely rejected this request.

At the same time, as compensation, the German side agreed to provide the anti-aircraft gun and fire control system of the "Graf Zeppelin". This is the only carrier-based anti-aircraft gun in the world with a two-way stable structure. It can reduce the impact of the hull sway on shooting. It has the first-class overall performance. The fire control system attached to it adheres to the tradition of German precision instruments and has performance ahead of similar products of Britain and the United States.

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

This is no exception. The main reason is that the last trip to Moscow of Cirick laid a good foundation. Germany has helped the Soviet Union build two warships. The Soviet Union was quite satisfied. At this time, it happened to catch the launch of the German aircraft carrier Zeppelin. The Soviets were quite shocked, so they came again!

What did the Soviets do? Of course, they ordered the same aircraft carrier from Germany!

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

The battleship plan has been launched in the Soviet Union. When this plan began, the Soviet Union finally found that it was really too difficult to independently build a 10,000-ton warship based on its own industrial level!

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

The planned aircraft carrier will not be able to start construction and the Soviet Union cannot afford it.

At this time, they finally remembered Cialek's promise that as long as the Soviet Union provided enough mineral resources, they could exchange it from Germany for warships! Even if it was an aircraft carrier, Germany could manufacture it for the Soviet Union!

In the past, the construction of two warships was almost in this way. Germany strictly abides by the contract, completed all the construction work according to the normal process, and handed it over to the Soviet Navy. This is also a prerequisite for both sides to continue to cooperate!

So, the Soviets came again, led by Tukhachevsky!

Now Tukhachevsky has become the Soviet marshal. He is burly and has a wide face. After seeing Cirik, he immediately shook hands cordially with Cirik.

"Cirick, I'm so happy to see you," said Tukhachevsky.

"Yes, I heard it was you, so I came immediately." Cialick said: "Now, please lead me to visit our warship together."

In fact, it was also the second time that Cirik came. Under the leadership of the factory staff, Cirik led Tukhachevsky and his group to pass through the huge crane on the dock and enter the aircraft carrier that was being installed.

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 did not use wooden decks like other aircraft carriers, but laid a thick steel deck, enough to block the bombing of ordinary bombs!

And now, standing on the deck, you can feel the width of this aircraft carrier! Especially, the front deck looks so strange!

"I really hope that our navy can have such an aircraft carrier." After more than an hour of investigation on the aircraft carrier, everyone came to the conference room of the dock. Tukhachevski said enthusiastically: "We are here this time, and I want to ask you to help us build the same aircraft carrier."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tukhachevsky saw helplessness on Cirik's face.

"What, do you have any difficulties?" Tukhachevsky said.

Didn’t we discuss this proposal in the past? Moreover, the previous contract was well completed. At worst, the Soviet Union exported more minerals, but could it not be compensated?

"Yes," said Cialick. "Now, our naval construction is underway, and our shipyards are all running full power. You should see that there are workers from other countries in our shipyards, and even from China."

"And, building an aircraft carrier requires a lot of resources." Cialek said: "If you still pay in the previous way, then transporting minerals will require dozens of times. It will be too difficult to rely on existing means unless..."

"Unless what?" Tukhachevsky asked.

"Unless the railway can be unified," said Cialek. "Today's transportation is too wasteful if you use trucks, and you must use railways. However, the Soviet railways are not common to Europe. If the Soviet railways can be transformed into the same width as those in Europe, it will be very convenient to transport minerals."

This time, the Russians came here with a request and took this opportunity to get the railway matter done!

Although the reasons are very good, the Russians must be on guard. Everyone knows what the same railway specifications mean.

In later generations, the railways that Yan Xishan built on his territory were not common to those outside, and he did not want outside forces to penetrate. Now, if it is the same as the railways in Europe, it is convenient to transport minerals, and it will be more convenient to transport strategic materials in the future!

Cirik didn't give Tukhachevsky time to think. Cirik continued to put forward his conditions: "The railway must be transported from the border to the Ural Mountains continuously from the border to transport the various minerals in the Ural Mountains. Even so, we will have to wait a year or two to wait until these minerals are enough to maintain the cost of the aircraft carrier, and then our aircraft carrier has been completed and just empty the ship."

Cialek said it very clearly that even if you import a large amount of ore, you have to wait!
Chapter completed!
