“There is no way. Maybe in your country, the sun never sets, 1 million pounds can do a lot of things, but this is not the sun never sets. This is Hans. The wages of workers in our country are very high!”
The Hans representative spread his hands and said innocently.
“Humph, no matter how high the salary is, it is impossible to spend 1 million pounds. Do you know what 1 million pounds can do? You can build a battleship like this!”
The man who never sets pointed to a German battleship docked at the dock. This was the Admiral Hipper, which was undergoing maintenance and modification and upgrading.
The conditions during the construction of the Prinz Eugen-class cruiser were too restrictive, which led to the battleship making trade-offs in certain performances. Now that there are no such restrictions, it is necessary to transform it and improve its combat effectiveness.
However, the vision of the man who never sets is quite accurate. The cost of the Admiral Hipper is about 1 million pounds.
Representative Hans ignored the man who never sets. Of course, the price of 1 million pounds is a bit expensive, but you can completely ignore it!
It was you who insisted on re-measuring. Since you asked for it, you should be prepared to be slaughtered!
100 pounds, if it wins, it will replace four Scharnhorst-class battlecruisers. The cost of these four battleships adds up to tens of millions of pounds. Isn’t this a huge profit?
The British were in a dilemma. Now they have finally figured it out. They know that Hans is deliberately obstructing them. If they don’t pay any price, it will be difficult to find out Hans’s background!
So, the British gritted their teeth and fought!
“”Okay, one million is one million. Humph, don’t get complacent yet. You will cry later. Just wait and see!”
The representative of the British Sun left a harsh remark, and then went to direct the measurement angrily!
Representative Hans shrugged indifferently. Anyway, the outcome was already determined. No matter how hard the British Sun struggled, it was useless. The
British Sun called his companions and meticulously supervised the workers to drain the water from the dock. Then he measured the size of the dock. After confirming that there was no way to falsify it, he began to fill the dock with water and measure the tonnage of the warship!
There was no doubt that the result he obtained was exactly the same as the previous one, without any difference!
This made the British Sun dumbfounded!
“Why is it different from what we agreed? What went wrong?”
No one could answer this question, as Hans was busy counting money!
……
“The British Empire should have another spy network in our country that we have not discovered. This time, from their attitude towards the information about the design drawings they stole, we can tell that they really believed this intelligence!”
It was no secret that the Sun Never Sets had a spy network in Hans.
However, even if they knew this, it would be difficult to find out, so there was no way to completely eradicate the other party’s spy network.
However, this time the SS had some more clues. The previous design drawing was actually real, but it was leaked deliberately by Hans.
The problem with the design drawing was not big. If the battleship was built according to the regulations on it, the tonnage would inevitably exceed the standard.
However, the Sun Never Sets people did not know that the materials used to build the Han battleships were quite special. Their armor used a large amount of titanium alloy, which greatly improved the armor’s protective performance while reducing its own weight. In addition, Mainz used the help of the system to optimize the main gun turret of the Scharnster-class battleship, making the tonnage of the battleship turret much lighter than the Sun Never Sets estimated!
Therefore, the Sun Never Sets used the parameters on the design drawings to make inferences according to normal standards, and the data obtained was naturally wrong. Although there was no problem with the length, width, height or draft of the battleship, the final tonnage just didn’t match!
“Now that we have discovered it, let’s follow the clues and eradicate all the hidden intelligence networks of the other party!”
Himmler heard what Heydrich said and thought of President Mainz’s previous statement.
President Mainz once told him that Heydrich would be responsible for very important intelligence work in the future, so he had to start cultivating his abilities from now on.
So Himmler said,”Heydrich, I plan to leave this matter to you. Do you have the confidence to complete this task?”
Heydrich thought for a while and nodded:”If there is more time, I think I should be able to eradicate the spy network hidden behind the scenes!”
“Very good, then I’ll leave this matter to you!”
……
The launch of Hans’ four Scharnhorst-class battlecruisers has attracted great attention in Europe. The British Empire, Gaul, Eagle Sauce and other countries along the Baltic Sea are all a little uneasy! The
British Empire and Gaul have always been vigilant about Hans’ military expansion. At this time, the other side’s navy launched four 35,000-ton battleships in one day, which immediately increased the tonnage of Hans’ main naval battleships from the previous 84,000 tons to 23.4 tons!
Although this tonnage has not yet reached the level of the British Empire’s Royal Navy, it has completely surpassed the Gaul Navy!
So when they learned of this news, the British Empire felt a huge threat, and the Gauls were already panicking!
“The Hans are developing too fast. If they continue on this trend, it will only be a matter of time before our military strength is completely surpassed!”
In Gaul, Marshal Foch, a hero of World War I, was already old and frail. After a serious illness last year, he was very thin. Because they were worried that the old general might die at any time, the high-level officials of the Gaul government did not dare to tell the old general the latest intelligence about Hans, so as not to stimulate him.
However, Marshal Foch was an old man in the Gallic army after all. He still had many students and old officials in the army. Through these people, he learned a lot of the latest intelligence.
And almost none of this intelligence was good news. All of them were news that Hans had developed or launched some new weapons. These news made Marshal Foch deeply worried.
So, he ran to the Elysee Palace with his sick body and insisted on meeting the Gallic President Dumelo.
President Dumelo had no choice. He couldn’t beat or scold such an old hero. The other party’s qualifications were much older than him and he was much older than him, so he could only invite the old marshal in and listen to the other party’s words!
“Yes, the old marshal is very insightful, and we think so too!”
President Dumelo deeply agrees with the old marshal’s words. In fact, after Mainz came to power, Gaul had reached a consensus: if a war breaks out between them and Hans in the future, then Gaul will definitely not be able to defeat Hans relying solely on its own strength, so they cannot take the initiative to attack, and can only rely on the Maginot Line, and they must also rely on their own allies!
Therefore, after reaching this consensus last year, Gaul rarely took the initiative to jump out and oppose Hans.
At this time, the Gauls deeply regretted their domineering behavior against Hans in the first few years after the war. They were extremely afraid that the Hans would use this as an excuse to retaliate against them in the future!
However The Gauls couldn’t lower their face to apologize to Hans. After all, they had been the hegemon of Europe for thousands of years. It was really shameful for them to apologize to a defeated country.
Since they couldn’t apologize and were afraid, the Gauls could only follow Hans to expand the army and improve their military strength, and strictly restrain their behavior, not to provoke and stimulate the Hans again, so as not to create new hatred!
They were lucky enough to think that as time went by, the Hans might forget what they had done to them one day in the future, and in that case, Hans would not retaliate against them!
Marshal Foch did not agree with this view at all!
“There will be a war between Gaul and Hans in the future!”
