Chapter 2619 Transaction

hehe. "Yoshimatsu Motaro laughed twice, and then looked at Shimamura Hayao next to him, and the latter understood and asked: "Although we have lost some destroyers and light cruisers, we are not worried, because this can be done with money. Bought, we know that your country still has a lot of surplus materials, and you will definitely sell them! So I think it is not necessary to discuss these things! At least our communication at this level should be focused on more valuable issues. "

"For example?" Betty raised her eyebrows and started to get serious!

"We want the follow-up battleship of the Fury class." Shimamura Hayao said.

"This is a bit difficult and the Germans will not agree to it." Betty refused very decisively. Although Thomas had told Betty before coming here that the Fury-class battleship could also be considered under certain circumstances, Thomas did not tell her. Betty, what are some of the alleged situations. So Betty chose to refuse. Because, if the Japanese really want it, and the British government wants to sell it, there is always a way to contact them.

Of course, there is another important reason, that is, Betty is not actually willing to make the current United States and Britain too hostile! It is one problem for the British to help Japan deal with the United States for the sake of money and colonial security, but it is another problem to continue to seek death to offend the United States. Betty knows that in the future, the only one that can compete with Germany is the United States. The United States and Britain should be comrades in the trenches. Although there is no way to get close now, they will always get closer in the future, so some things cannot be done forever!

“We can operate,” Hayao Shimamura said with a smile.

"Operation?" Betty said she was a little confused.

"Remember how the Kasuga-class armored cruiser came to Japan? We can replicate this process." Shimamura Hayao said.

"Okay, let me tell you the truth." Betty sighed and said: "Even if the British Empire agrees to this deal, the Empire may not be able to complete the remaining work of the Fury-class battleship. The Germans have fundamentally weakened the Empire. In terms of capital ship construction capabilities, a large number of machinery and equipment in the Royal Naval Shipyard, Armstrong Shipyard, and Portsmouth Shipyard have been dismantled or destroyed. We can't even produce the 13-inch armor plate prepared for the Furious class. And the two ships The Fury-class fast battleship is still a long way from completion, so this result disappoints you."

"If you want to complete these two battleships, then you must find a next ship to complete the outfitting, or directly bring the battleships with only the most basic power systems to Japan and then outfit them. This task may be quite arduous. !" Betty said with a smile.

"This is indeed a problem." Motaro Yoshimatsu, who has been silent, said, "In this case, let's not discuss this matter until this problem is solved. How about changing to a lighter topic?" Motaro Yoshimatsu decided to change the topic. .

Motaro Yoshimatsu's words made Betty feel relieved.

Because Betty knew that what she said was a bit exaggerated. Although the industrial capabilities of the British have indeed been weakened now, they still have stocks in their warehouses. For example, 330MM steel plates. What is left in the warehouse alone is enough to make one of the Fury-class ships The battleship has completed its armored outfitting. But then, Motaro Yoshimatsu's next words made Betty's heart rise to her throat again!

"Since the issue of battleships is difficult to discuss, what do you think of aircraft carriers? I have always believed that our number of aircraft carriers is far from enough. Do you know why we invited you? Because you are the best aviation warfare expert in the entire Royal Navy!" Yoshimatsu! Motaro said with a smile.

"So, what do you want me to help you with?" Betty said helplessly.

"First of all, we need a list of your country's high-speed maritime transport ships during wartime. This list should be as detailed as possible. It is best to clearly describe the performance and condition of the ships. However, we will base it on our Based on your needs and your suggestions, you can choose and transform it into an aircraft carrier," said Motaro Yoshimatsu.

Submarines are too scary, and in this plane, do the British have a plug-in called the United States of America! Therefore, in order to ensure the transportation of some key materials and personnel in the future, Britain recruited a large number of so-called fast merchant ships for transportation during the war. First of all, it needs to be explained that the so-called fast transport ships are not said to be able to reach a speed of more than 20 knots. In fact, a merchant ship transporting general supplies can be considered high-speed if it can reach more than 12 knots, while the cruising speed of a large number of slow-speed merchant ships is generally only about 8 knots!

Of course, the Japanese Navy does not want the so-called high-speed merchant ships with a speed of 12 knots. What they need is at least a transport ship with a speed of 20 knots or more, and this kind of ship is generally a high-speed cruise ship. In fact, because of the cabin layout of the high-speed cruise ship It is too complicated. If you want to change the aircraft carrier, unless it is a preset ship, it will take a long time to remove the redundant cabins. Therefore, when it comes to selection, the Japanese can only ask the Royal Navy professionals who know the best about these ships. People! And it just so happened that when Betty was the commander of the aircraft carrier detachment, she specifically studied this issue in order to find a suitable ship to convert the aircraft carrier! And collected a lot of information.

"Okay, I have all the relevant technical information with me. You can check it at any time. But some of the ships have been compensated to the Germans and may have been sunk. I can't guarantee that they are all here." Betty paused. Then he said: "Say your needs."

"In the short term, we will at least add 2 to 3 more aircraft carriers of 10,000 tons or more in the future, as fast as possible, and with a larger aircraft capacity. As for tonnage and cost issues, we would like to refer to you opinions." Motaro Yoshimatsu said.

"Do you want to transform? No longer use battleships as a decisive force, but use aircraft carriers and battleships together as a decisive force?" Betty asked.

"It's like this. We can't beat the Americans using battleships." Motaro Yoshimatsu said. "Instead of waiting to die like this, why not change your mind and give it a try?"

"That makes sense." Betty sighed. "However, I need to point out that aircraft carriers and the aircraft on them are more responsible for the task of last-minute damage, because carrier-based bombers have limited damage to battleship-level warships, and the bombing accuracy is low. Torpedo aircraft fly slowly and are easily defeated by combat forces. Interception. And the number of aviation torpedoes on an aircraft carrier is only between 20 and 40, so you know.
