In terms of the power of naval guns from various countries, the Italian Ansaldo MOD36 381mm gun is the most powerful, but the price it pays is the pitifully low life span.

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

The length-to-diameter ratio of German naval guns reached 52 times, while the length-to-diameter ratio of French naval guns was only 45 times; however, the weight of the launching medicine of German naval guns was far smaller than that of French naval guns.

The result of this is that the muzzle kinetic energy obtained by French naval guns is greater, but the Germans also obtained stable internal ballistic performance using long tubes and improved shooting accuracy.

Further down is the French Navy's 330mm naval gun. The armor-piercing power of this naval gun exceeds the 381mm cannon of the British Empire's proud Hood.

These are all later stories. Now, the Soviets were planning heavy naval guns that surpassed any other country before they even built them!

406mm! This corresponds to 16 inches. Even in history, it was not until 36 years. The Soviets turned their attention to the United States, hoping to obtain technical support from the United States.

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

Unfortunately, this ended in vain.

Later, after the Soviet-German non-aggression treaty was signed, the Soviets defected to Germany.

The German team provided the design drawings of Bismarck-class battleships, large-caliber naval guns and turrets in a timely manner, and agreed to sell the heavy cruiser under construction of the Luzov.

The final agreement was signed for Germany to help the Soviet Union build 16 380mm naval guns and eight double turrets with corresponding caliber. Unfortunately, a year later, when the Soviet Union and Germany started war, these cannons themselves were completed and used for coastal defense by Germany.

Historical experience and living examples tell all countries that if you want to develop military strength, you can only rely on your own abilities. External aid is of no use!

(The heroes of East China once again think of the peace model project and sigh!)

These are all funerals. At the same time, these funerals also show a truth. Relying on its own strength, the Soviet Union could not build advanced battleships and naval guns on it!

Otherwise, why bother looking for technical assistance everywhere?

And as for now, let alone, the little steel output of the Soviet Union was not enough to build battleships!

At the same time, the Soviets looked far away.

The Western world does not like the emergence of a red country, and they may experience 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 many similarities. Therefore, the Soviet Union really hopes to use German technology to achieve a leapfrog development on its own side!

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

Therefore, Orlov, the commander of the Red Navy, first raised this question. Even if the other party refuses, Tukhachevsky can come out to smooth things over.

Sure enough, when he asked, the other party remained silent.

Colonel Gonser Lütjens, when he heard the request of the Soviets, his heart was already churning. 406mm, are you Soviets planning to dominate the ocean?

If the Soviets were given the most advanced cannon, then they might have to face the threat of the Soviet naval in the future!

"Sorry, the 406mm naval gun has a large caliber. This kind of naval gun must be installed on a warship with a displacement of 40,000 tons." Colonel Gonser Lütjens said.

With the current national strength of the Soviet Union, can it support 40,000 tons of warships? If the Soviet Union had no such plan, it would be useless to require a 406mm naval gun.

Installed on a 10,000-ton cruiser? That can fire will definitely overturn!

"We are currently having this plan," Orlov said. "Now, with sincerity, we want to ask our German friends for help."

It seems that the Germans are unwilling to do so. Tukhachevsky was about to smooth things over, but Cirik finally spoke.

"The 406mm caliber naval gun sounds exciting," said Cirick. "But we have never built this caliber naval gun. The Soviets can entrust us to provide funds for our Krupp to develop it."

I promise, why not? This is a good opportunity!

Germany's future battleships also require 406mm caliber naval guns! Due to the Versailles Treaty, Germany cannot develop and produce such 406mm naval guns!

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

In this way, the Krupp Company can start construction with legitimate reasons! Although the Soviet Union had no money, it could still use various mineral resources to support it!

In addition to the naval guns, there is also the design of the entire battleship? This is also quite important!

Just fool the Soviets and start construction in a German shipyard?

Yes, just do it!

"But, with naval guns, it is not a complete battleship. It is a huge plan to build a battleship." Cialek said: "For example, the design of a battleship requires an experienced team to be competent. At the same time, the manufacturing of a battleship requires a large amount of steel, especially high-strength steel. These are probably many difficulties in the Soviet Union, right?"

The other party didn't say anything, of course this was a default! Cialick continued: "It just so happened that 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 construction and manufacture such battleships."

"So, I suggest that you can entrust this planned battleship to us Germany to build, how about it?" Cialick said: "As for funds, you can use minerals, food, energy, etc. to offset it. In this way, you can create new battleships without consuming your treasury."

Cialick's words made the Soviet Union overjoyed. This was simply a pie that fell from the sky!
