Chapter 307 The Use of Submarines

Although the Chinese Empire is no longer a military ally of the Istanese Empire, they are still commercial ally. Half of the Istanese tax revenue relies on cooperation with the Chinese Empire, so they naturally will not offend the God of Wealth.

After consultation, the Istan Empire not only agreed to the request for the Chinese Empire to pass the convoy, but also expressed its willingness to let the Chinese Empire build a railway directly to the Western Continent within its territory.

The Istan Empire was a relatively backward place. The Chinese Empire was able to build such a railway for them, which could stimulate the development of the domestic economy of the Istan Empire. Abdul II naturally couldn't find it.

In Fang Xiaoyu's plan, this railway will be directly connected to the railway line that the Chinese consortium has built to the border of the Istanese Empire. After completion, the Istanese Empire and the construction company will each hold half of the shares of the railway. This kind of good thing Fang Xiaoyu will naturally have such a good thing.

It's unanimous.

In order to support the commercial group within the Chinese Empire, Fang Xiaoyu did not put this piece of fat into the Chinese consortium, but gave the opportunity to the Xia family's Zhongxia Consortium. The Zhongxia Consortium's economic strength is also very strong.

After receiving Fang Xiaoyu's technical assistance, they immediately started the construction of the railway.

With the consent of the Istan Empire, the Chinese Empire's materials could enter the country along the railway from the Habvsburg Empire and directly supply them to the three allied countries. However, for this kind of land transportation with slow speed and small traffic, Fang Xiaoyu would not

Not satisfied, this is just a cover-up.

Taking this opportunity, the Chinese consortium will expand its scale in the Yaman Empire and become a logistics import and export company. With railway transportation as a cover, it will specially transmit the Chinese empire products to the Yaman Empire for sale through the Xiaofeng fixed-point function.

By making a lot of profits, the profits earned by the neutral countries will soon become unbalanced. The Boston Empire and other neutral countries can only sell goods to the Allies, while the Chinese Empire can sell them on both sides, so the profits will naturally increase greatly.

In the first half of 903, industry and commerce in the Chinese Empire developed rapidly. Since the Chinese consortium began to hoard large amounts of materials in a few years, this accumulation of strength made the Chinese Empire ship more than the two in the Boston Empire within half a year.

As a result, a large amount of working capital flows back, the Chinese consortium continues to expand its production scale and produce more products to export.

Not only the Chinese consortium, but other companies have also begun to make a lot of profits. The Wang family's Xuan and consortium, the Xia family's Zhongxia consortium, the Xiahou family's Hairun consortium and the Fang family's Guofeng consortium have expanded production, and a large number of them have been participated in the warring countries.

Earn profits.

Because the shipping and logistics companies of the Chinese consortium undertake most of the transportation tasks, the companies have no worries. While they make a lot of money, the Chinese consortium has made a lot of money just by transportation.

Despite this, Fang Xiaoyu still felt that it was not enough, because Fang Xiaoyu only established enough warehouses in the Yaman Empire for teleportation. In the Saar Empire, because they were hostile to the Chinese Empire, Fang Xiaoyu had to act cautiously and was a real deal for the transportation of the Allies.

The solution is through sea transportation.

For this reason, major shipyards are manufacturing freighters rapidly in order to seize a larger share in the world's transportation industry. The equipment of major shipyards of the Chinese consortium is quite advanced. Under the guidance of Fang Xiaoyu's idea that the larger the freighter, the higher the consumption ratio, the Chinese

The freighter of the consortium is also getting bigger and bigger, and the latest one even reaches a scale of 50,000 tons.

In order to make such a large ship go faster, Fang Xiaoyu agreed to install steam turbines of the same technical level as those sold to various countries onto new freighters. This structure means that the freighter cost of the Chinese consortium is lower than that of any other company.

But it's not slow.

However, seizing the share of sea freight is not a good thing for ships. Whether it is the Chinese Empire or the Boston Empire, there is a huge fleet of sea freight in front of them. This is the fleet of sea freight in the Saar Empire.

As the world's largest naval power, the Saar Empire, its merchant fleet with a total tonnage of up to 12 million is also the fundamental guarantee for its dominance of the world. For this reason, Fang Xiaoyu was wondering how to consume this huge fleet and let it go

His own transportation company took a larger share, and he soon came up with a good idea.

Wu Yu, who was in charge of the work in the Yaman Empire, quickly found the Imperial Navy Department. He was very polite to the invisible ally of the Chinese Empire, and to Wu Yu, who represented the Chinese Consortium in the Western Continent, he also said that he was very polite to the Chinese Consortium.

He was a guest of honor for the senior officials of the Yaman Empire.

After sending a meeting request, Wu Yu easily met Tyers, the Marshal of the Yaman Empire. At this time, Tyers was worried that his country's fleet was trapped at the port and could not go to war. Hearing that Wu Yu wanted to help him solve the problem.

He immediately received the problem that the Navy could not attack.

Tyrs, the magical emperor of the Chinese Empire, has a great favor. He can always solve some difficult problems that seem impossible to solve. As Fang Xiaoyu's highest spokesperson in the Yaman Empire, Wu Yu is naturally also

He regarded it as a magical figure.

Seeing this marshal who had created the Yaman Empire's high seas fleet, Wu Yu smiled slightly and said, "Today, I came to provide your country with a new type of naval warfare weapon under the order of His Majesty the Emperor of our country."

"New naval weapon?" Tyers was immediately attracted when he heard Wu Yu's words. For an old navy, a new naval weapon was very attractive, not to mention that it is known for leading the world's military trend.

Fang Xiaoyu proposed it.

Seeing Marshal Tyers's excited look, Wu Yu said: "Now the Imperial Navy is blocked in the harbor and has no effect. I think your Majesty will not allow the fleet built with huge sums of money to do nothing."

Tills said with a sad face and said, "There is no way, our harbor has a poor terrain and is difficult to dispatch, and our navy is not as powerful as the Saar Empire."

Wu Yu smiled and said, "If there were such powerful new naval weapons we provided, the situation would be different."

Tilles asked anxiously: "How powerful is it?"

Wu Yu replied calmly: "It's enough to give the Saar Empire a headache."

Tills said: "So can you demonstrate to me the new weapons you are selling."

Wu Yu did not directly take out any materials or anything else. Instead, he asked: "I wonder what Marshal Tyrs thinks is the fatal weakness of the Saar Empire?"

Marshal Tyers said firmly without hesitation: "It is a maritime transportation line. If the Sars' sea transportation line is completely cut off, within three months, the Sars Empire will perish."

At this time, Wu Yu smiled and took out a set of schematic diagrams from his briefcase, and opened it in front of Tyers: "Since Marshal Tyers has such an understanding, it's easy to deal with. The weapon I brought is specifically designed to attack maritime transportation lines.

of."

Tilles looked at the strange long object on the drawing and said, "Is this thing from the Navy? Is it a new type of torpedo?"

Wu Yu smiled and said: "This weapon is called a submarine. It is a secret weapon that our navy has already begun to be equipped. It once intercepted the naval fleet of the Saar Empire in the war against Persia, but because they did not know what weapon they were attacked, they later

They attributed that heavy loss to mines.”

"So that's it." He still heard of the inexplicable losses of the Eastern Continental Fleet of the Saar Empire. He could not have thought that it would be caused by such a strange weapon.

Wu Yu continued to explain: "Submarines mainly rely on torpedoes to attack. If they are dealing with merchant ships, they can also use deck cannons." Wu Yu pointed at the gun in the front section of the submarine.

"What do you mean by floating?" Tilles asked.

Wu Yu said: "I mean that the submarine is traveling underwater. It can travel below the water surface. It approaches the enemy without realizing it to attack. Although it is difficult to deal with large surface warships, it is still very difficult to deal with those merchant fleets.

Easy.”

Seeing Tyers listening to his words attentively, Wu Yu instructed: "The Marshal's idea was very correct. As an island country, the Saar Empire had to rely on merchant ships for transportation of a large amount of resources and goods produced. If their merchants were

The destruction of the fleet is equivalent to jamming their necks, and it will soon suffocate their industrial system to death. This kind of submarine can escape the patrol of the other surface ships and destroy the other merchant ships without realizing it.

If this continues….”

Tilles slapped the table and said: "Yes, as long as you can destroy the merchant fleet of the Saar Empire in large quantities, you can completely curb the operation of the other party's industrial system and fundamentally destroy their potential for war. I don't know how much you plan to sell

This kind of submarine.”

Wu Yu smiled and said, "It depends on how much the marshal needs. If you want to get the submarine as soon as possible, we have ten active submarines that can be sold to the marshal at a discount."

Seeing Marshal Tyers was very moved, Wu Yu then added: "We will be responsible for training operators for the Marshal."

Hearing that Wu Yu had solved the personnel training problem for him, Tills immediately made a decision: "Buy, let's buy twenty first for training."

The sales of submarines went very smoothly. After the Yaman Emperor William II learned that the Chinese Empire had sold such magical weapons, he immediately decided to add orders for fifty submarines, and Wu Yu asked for a closed dock in the port.

It was soon approved by William II.

The ten Sea Wolf 1 submarines that the Chinese Empire had just eliminated were sold to the Yaman Empire for half price. At the same time, a group of submarine training personnel who had been waiting for a long time passed through the Istan Empire and the Habvsburg Kingdom, which was very popular.

It was almost reached the Yaman Empire.

These instructors are graduates of the Submarine Branch of the Imperial Naval Academy of China. In addition to helping the Yaman Empire train submarine soldiers, these people also accumulate combat experience and collect practical submarine combat experience and improvement opinions for Holan's scientific research team.
