    Chapter 688 The Germans are leaving

    ¡°Bingwen? Hush////¡±

    The person who emerged from the destroyer was indeed the former German rear admiral, but he was obviously a little surprised when he saw Bingwen. He looked around and quickly put his finger on his lips to silence.

    Bingwen was also shocked. The Taishan-class destroyers were imported from France. Although the next four ships were self-built, they were technically the same as the French Utopia-class destroyers, especially the precision technical equipment such as power and sonar. Therefore, Zhanjiang  There are many French naval engineers in Zhonghua Shipyard.  If they know that German personnel are present, they will definitely lodge a protest. In serious cases, it may affect Sino-French relations.  So Bingwen quickly winked at his companions and asked them to watch from outside. He dragged Hakan into the cabin: "General, why are you here?"

    Hakan has been working in this country for 13 years. The years have left a deep mark on him, but they cannot erase his persistent belief in restoring the glory of the German Navy.  Therefore, he has actively participated in the Chinese Navy plan in recent years, leading the German naval technical team that has arrived one after another to help the Chinese Navy, while also taking advantage of the opportunity to develop new technologies and learn from experience.  With his active efforts, the German Naval Technical Corps not only participated in the design of multiple battleships, but also participated in the design and construction of Beijing-class battleships.  But he also has regrets, that is, Yang Qiu refuses the participation of any foreign personnel in aircraft carrier and other projects, and has never opened naval tactical training visits, making it difficult for him to understand the tactics and combat capabilities of the Chinese navy. He can only  A few details to judge this unit.

    So when the Saudi crisis broke out two years ago, he most hoped for a full-scale war between the Chinese and British navies. On the one hand, he wanted to understand how strong the combat capabilities of China's new equipment were, and on the other hand, he also hoped to understand the development of the old rival Britain through comparison.  However, the signing of the Qingdao Treaty disappointed him. After learning that the Chinese and French navies were cooperating to build a new destroyer with strong combat capabilities, he tried his best to use his own connections and finally got the authorization not long ago to disguise it as an American naval gun from the Chongqing factory.  Consultant, come to Zhanjiang to take the opportunity to learn about French naval technology.

    After hearing what he said, Bingwen was shocked. Is this authorization fun?  Even if Hakan and the German technical team helped the navy, they couldn't come down in the presence of the French!  Which department dares to open this hole?

    "Please rest assured my friend, this is the authorization of Mr. President."

    "President?!" Bingwen was even more surprised. He never expected that it was Yang Qiu who nodded.  Hakan raised the corners of his mouth, with a bit of fatigue and reluctance on his cheeks, and said, "We will return to China next month."

    Bingwen was stunned for a moment and then understood.  It is no secret that Hakan and the German team returned to China. After all, it has been 15 years since the Rhineland Project. They could have left five years ago as agreed by both parties, but the chaotic politics and the subsequent economic crisis made these technicians stay longer.  Five years.  It seemed that Yang Qiu's promise to let him see French technology also included a sense of gratitude.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go out for a walk, those French guys should be back soon.¡±

    Bingwen nodded. He had great respect for his old captain. He immediately handed over the inspection work to his partners and walked with him to the seaside.  Along the way, Bingwen noticed that several workers in blue shirts were quietly following him. It seemed that they were special personnel covering Hakan's trip.

    Hakan turned a blind eye to the following people, and was more concerned about Bingwen, who had participated in the Battle of Jutland with him and fought against the storms of the Arctic Ocean with him.  Patted on the shoulder: "Originally I planned to look for you after reading this, but I didn't expect to meet you here first. I heard Mr. President tell you about you, and you did a great job during the last crisis."

    ¡°It¡¯s a pity that the waterway is still controlled by the British.¡±

    Hearing the reluctance in Bingwen's words, Hakan laughed: "You shouldn't be disappointed. No navy can become the best in the world overnight. Fierce fighting is just the final sublimation of the navy. Boring sailing, training and confrontation  This is the most basic exercise. I believe you should have learned a lot from the crisis. These are the most precious wealth." His words are true. Although Task Force 21 did not fire a single shot during the Saudi crisis,  However, they took advantage of their high speed and struggled with more than 30 British warships for a long time. The navigation, water patterns and maneuvers, reconnaissance, aircraft carrier use, etc. involved all benefited Bingwen and the officers of the 21st Fleet a lot.

    "Don't always think about competing with the best navy in the world immediately. Your current opponent is still Japan!" Under the sun, Hakan's white hair on the temples is particularly eye-catching.  Maybe he was about to leave, so he wanted to remind Bingwen, and said in a louder voice: "They have already laid a solid foundation in Truk, New Guinea and Rabaul. This strong metro triangle can help them cut off the China-US and China-Australia routes.  ! Now that they have gained East Timor, they will definitely use it as a stepping stone to enter the Dutch East Indies. The stupid British always like to maintain balance and the status quo to maintain their own interests, and will definitely turn a blind eye to this kind of penetration.?So I don't think it will be long before your defense zone is under pressure!  You should prepare as early as possible, Taiwan Island will become the key to this battle!  "

    As the older generation of naval personnel gradually retires, it is only a matter of time before Bingwen takes charge of the Second Fleet, which is why Hakan has such words as "your defense zone".  These words also shocked Bingwen. Hakan was indeed a veteran naval officer and had such a thorough understanding of the situation in the Southwest Pacific.  But his eyes were on target, and he probably didn't expect that letting Japan go south was what Yang Qiu wanted to see most.

    But he was still very grateful for the reminder. In any case, Hakan was kind to himself and even China.  If it hadn't been for him, perhaps there would have been greater losses when crossing the Arctic Ocean, and there would have been no improvement in the country's manufacturing industry after the Rhineland Plan today, so he still wanted to retain Hakan and said tentatively: "Does the general really not consider staying?  You may be afraid after returning to China"

    In fact, Hakan also knows that he, who is almost 60 years old, will no longer be able to lead his beloved warships after returning to China. At most, he will serve as a technical consultant for the navy and shipyards.  But he still wanted to go back, so he declined the offer to stay and said with a smile: "Germany is getting better little by little. I should also go back and do my best. I heard that Mr. Hitler is very likely to win the election. He promised us that he will restore the navy as soon as possible."  develop."

    Hitler¡¯s influence has grown steadily in the past two years, and even Chinese newspapers have reproduced his news from time to time.  But Bingwen knew in his heart that even if Germany built three pocket battleships, it would not be easy to regain a breakthrough in the navy.  Because the Hakan and Rhineland plans only allowed Germany to retain part of its technical strength by taking advantage of the expansion of the Chinese navy, more technical talents have been divided up by Europe and the United States, resulting in a serious naval generation gap. Therefore, it wants to restore the situation of 20 years ago.  The rise of China's navy is not at all as simple as the rise of China's navy.

    As the two were walking and chatting about the Navy and the future, two jeeps drove towards them.  When Hakan saw the car, he knew it was time for him to leave. He smiled and said, "It's time for me to go. I wish you good luck, my friend." Bingwen originally wanted to see him off, but the second lieutenant who came with the car brought the navy commander.  The ministry asked him to go to Xinyang immediately to receive orders for the new aircraft, and he had to watch Hakan leave.

    When the plane arrived in Xinyang, Bingwen discovered that Yang Qiu was also inspecting the Airbus Xinyang assembly plant accompanied by Zhou Houkun and others.

    After more than ten years of development and construction and data machine advancement, Airbus has become a large enterprise that cannot be ignored in the world's aviation industry, with five factories in Xinyang, Changsha, Hefei, Anqing and Jiujiang.  A group enterprise with independent design, engine manufacturing and assembly has been formed. What attracted Yang Qiulai to inspect this time was the newly developed kc2 passenger aircraft, which is an upgraded version of kc1.

    When the kc1 was selling well in Europe and the United States, the country, especially the military, looked down upon it and felt that the load capacity and range were insufficient. At that time, the 1,200-horsepower twin mustang engine had already begun testing, so Bayuzao and Zhou Houkun immediately designed the kc2 based on it and worked with it.  The test flight was successful in October last year.  When he first saw kc2, Yang Qiu almost called out the name of c47. In fact, kc2 is exactly the same as the famous Douglas DC3 passenger aircraft. The range data are similar. If there is any big breakthrough, it is the use of  Established a new standard base hole system.

    The base hole system is a very important technology in the national standardization construction proposed by Yang Qiu. This technology can greatly improve production efficiency and processing time!  In the parallel world, Japan used this technology to compress the total working hours of the Hayate fighter from 25,000 to 4,000!  This alone can reduce the cost of kc2 by 10, which shows how important it is.  Since this technology is so critical that it can even be described as strategic, currently only state-owned or core private enterprises are promoting the base hole system.

    Although the trial production of kc2 has begun, it is still uncertain whether it can become China's c47, because the Air Force still feels that the load capacity of 3 tons is too small. They want a medium-range transport aircraft with a load capacity of 5-6 tons, which requires an engine of at least  Reaching 1,500 horsepower.  Yang Qiu did not interfere in this matter, because the egg-breaking scene in the Saudi crisis has triggered an upsurge in the development of long-range aircraft in various countries around the world. Even three domestic aviation groups have come up with their own four-engine long-range passenger aircraft solutions. Chongqing Meteor Company has even manufactured  The first full-size prototype was released.

    After Bingwen told Hakan about being careful about Japan, he mentioned Taiwan, which still has no large naval base, and said: "What he said is quite reasonable. The First Fleet must protect the Bohai Sea, Vladivostok, Yellow Sea and Ryukyu.  , it is difficult to get out under such great pressure. We are trapped in the South China Sea again, so the best way is to Taiwan"

    "Taiwan won't move for now." Yang Qiu interrupted Bingwen.  He knows that the Navy has been hoping to cancel its promise not to station in Taiwan over the years and hopes to build an ocean-going naval base east of Taiwan Island, but he has been suppressing this matter.  Not only because they promised Britain and the United States not to station a fleet when they regained Taiwan, but also because if the main fleet was stationed on the east side of Taiwan Island, it would definitely distract Japan and increase the probability of launching a surprise attack before heading south.

      So Yang Qiu changed the subject and asked: "How many people followed Hakan?"

    "After the Rhineland Plan began, a total of more than 20,000 German technical personnel came to our country. Many have returned over the years. General Hakan and his group are the last batch. About 4,000 will gradually leave within a year." Bingwenjian  Yang Qiu didn't want to talk about Taiwan, so he had to hold it back for the time being and continue: "By the way, many of the German Jewish senior technicians you recruited last time also asked to return to China, and the number may be quite large."

    "Is it because of the Saudi incident?"

    "Yes. The Jews are very dissatisfied with our support for the establishment of the Saudi state. They are worried that Saudi independence will cause the Arab world to completely turn to us and lose the Palestinian residential areas."

    "Some things cannot be kept. We are choosing, and others are choosing." Yang Qiu hesitated, not wanting to talk about these things anymore, and waved to him: "Let's go, Chongqing. Show me your new plane.  "
