Chapter 824

"The 406 naval guns we need have already been manufactured by the Germans. There are three guns in total. They have been shipped. When the turrets are also built, they will be transported." Molotov said.

The Germans were suddenly refreshed, including the 406mm gun that the Soviets had been delaying most in need of!

The Soviets themselves cannot produce, which requires quite powerful craftsmanship, and building large-caliber naval guns is not so easy.

To put it simply, the steel ingot needs to be poured. After rough shaping with a hydraulic press, the two ends should be sawed off first, and the crack-prone part in the middle should be drilled with a drill. Then, the hydraulic press should be used for elongation processing and a milling machine to finish forming.

This is just the inner bore of the cannon, and then several hundred kilometers of steel wire must be wound around the inner bore, and then a sleeve is heated and expanded to cover the inner bore. Rifling the cannon, chrome plating, etc.

The Soviets did not have such craftsmanship for the time being, so they could only ask for help. As a result, Germany took over.

After so long, finally, the Germans started to make it, which made the atmosphere of the scene more lively.

The battleship USSR, that is the symbol of the Soviets, and as a symbol of the battleship, of course, is the cannon on it. Now, the cannon can finally be seen back, which is also good news.

Stalin's tensed face was also a little relaxed: "The Germans are also sensible and know the fate of offending our Soviets."

At the beginning, the Germans just explained that the manufacture of the Soviet naval guns was delayed because of the war. Now that the war is over, the Germans have taken the initiative to build them. This is of course good news.

"There is also the aircraft carrier that Germany built for us. Now, the hull has entered the final manufacturing stage, and the welding of the hull will be completed soon, and then it will be launched." Molotov continued.

In addition to naval guns, the Soviet Union also has contracts for more important aircraft carriers. While the aircraft carriers are under construction, the Soviet navy has already stationed in German shipyards to supervise them.

However, for the same reason, the progress of the aircraft carrier is also quite slow, and even stopped for a while, and now, after the end of the European war, the aircraft carrier has also begun to continue to build. So far, the empty shell of an aircraft carrier has been Almost done.

The German carrier-based aircraft have already shown their edge on the battlefield, so the Soviet navy is eager to have the same combat capability, and now, these news are quite satisfactory to them.

"Well, the Germans are quite interesting." Stalin repeated this sentence again: "It seems that, at least in the near future, Germany will not tear up with us, and we will take advantage of this period of time. To develop our military strength quickly, especially to finish the war with Finland neatly and neatly."

The last defeat made the Soviet Union realize that it was not fully prepared. Therefore, if they attack Finland this time, they must make comprehensive preparations. In particular, like Germany, they will use the tank sea tactics to destroy the enemy. !

The medium tank, which has been named T-34, has now been produced in large quantities. The improved KV-1 tank has thickened armor again, and is also undergoing tests. In short, this time, we must use the most severe offensive. Solve Finland, otherwise, the Soviets are really a shame.

"The Germans have also promised that there will be no more legal weapons in the Finnish army. In short, the current Germany is sincere to us." Molotov said.

The Germans have done everything they need to do, and the two sides have resumed their friendship again. Although the Germans are now trying to make the euro, the Soviet Union is wary, but now there is really nothing to complain about.

"The Germans are still here for our production process of ammonium nitrate explosives." Khrushchev on the side couldn't help but speak again: "I think the Germans want our production process, we must let Germany People have to pay enough."

Of course, the Germans' goodwill also has another intention, that is, the explosive technology created by the Soviets with countless lives!

"Yes, there must be a reason for this," Stalin said. "So, Khrushchev, what do you think you need?"

Rolling his eyes, Khrushchev came up with an extremely stupid suggestion: "I think we can ask the Germans for 10 million tons of grain."

Ten million tons, this is definitely a rip-off!

At the same time, all the people present nodded their heads. They believed that this suggestion was correct.

The Soviets are short of food.

In the old tsarist days of serfdom, Russia was a net exporter of grain. The average annual output of cereals is 75 to 90 million tons, and 5 to 10 million tons of grain can be exported each year.

Until the October Revolution, the Soviets began to implement state ownership, a large number of high-yield large private farms were nationalized, and arable land was distributed to small farmers. The same amount of grain produced was enough to feed the rural population, but not enough to feed the rapidly growing masses of workers in the cities.

Thus, by 1928, the Soviet Union had to import grain from abroad to prevent serious food shortages in urban areas.

Even if there is a territory like the Ukrainian granary, the Soviets are still facing the problem of food all the time. Now, since the Germans want the technology of explosives, isn't it good to exchange food for it?

Ten million tons of grain, enough to meet the Soviet Union's one-year grain gap!

"Yes, just ask the Germans for such conditions." Stalin said: "The Germans control half of Europe, and the food must be very rich."

They did not know how overjoyed the Germans were when this condition was notified to the German side. Although it was during the war, the German mainland did not suffer any losses, and the German mainland had enough food for export.

Moreover, in addition to the mainland, there are also France and the United Kingdom. Although these countries have experienced wars, their agricultural production has hardly been damaged. It is easy to collect this grain for the Soviets.

Originally, I was worried that the Soviets would make more excessive demands, such as German thermobaric bombs, production technology of Panther tanks, etc. As a result, the Soviets asked for the simplest food!

Anxiety about the euro quickly turned into comfort with Germany ripping off Germany, but not so happy on the other side of the world.

White House.

The smoke was lingering, and it was even a little choking, but Roosevelt didn't mean to pinch off his cigar at all. Thinking while smoking would make the mind more flexible.

A situation that the United States is most unwilling to see, just like this, the Germans have begun to integrate Europe, and the euro is the first step!
