Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

While Germany and the Czech Republic were busy in a war of words, the Soviet Embassy in Germany informed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that Moscow would send a special envoy to visit in the near future.

Upon hearing that the coming special envoy was Marshal Voroshilov, Yannick immediately called for Anne. "Go find a photo of me and Tukhachevsky last time, enlarge it, frame it, and hang it in the most conspicuous place in the office!" Does he know that Marshal Voroshilov is Hetukhachev? Ski is quite difficult to deal with in terms of military concepts. Since you can't be used by me, I will kill you before you become an enemy!

A few days later, Marshal Voroshilov arrived in Berlin. After reviewing the guard of honor at the train station and a series of diplomatic etiquette, he arrived at Yannick's office in the Berlin Palace. "Your Excellency Voroshilov, I have heard of you for a long time. Why didn't Your Excellency Marshal Tukhachevsky come this time? Is it possible that Your Excellency Marshal is in ill health?"

After entering the office, Voroshilov naturally looked around the office, and immediately saw the extremely eye-catching photo of Yannik and Tukhachevsky, and now he heard Yannik's first words of greeting. Tukhachevsky, something strange flashed in his eyes. "Marshal Tukhachevsky has important matters that he cannot get away from, so the great leader sent me to discuss important matters."

"Oh, so that's it." Yannick nodded in realization. "Is Mr. Stalin in good health?"

It was okay if he didn't ask. This question made Voroshilov's mouth twitch invisible, revealing a forced smile. "Everything is well with the great leader Comrade Stalin. Before I left, he specially asked me to greet you." He snorted in his heart, Tukhachevsky, you are so proud, even the great leader must be ranked first. Behind you!

This subtle little movement did not escape Yannick's eyes. "Please return to your country and convey my gratitude to Lord Stalin."

After the pleasantries were over, it was time to get down to business, Voroshilov asked. "Your Excellency Yanik, I heard that the two Svetlana-class cruisers that our country commissioned from your country are already undergoing sea trials?"

Initially, the Soviet Union commissioned Germany to build the Dzezinski-class frigates and Tashkent-class destroyers. After the two warships returned to China, the Soviet Union expressed great satisfaction, and subsequently built two additional Svetlana-class cruisers.

But when the cruiser was about to be completed, the Spanish Civil War broke out. The two countries dispatched expeditionary forces at the same time, and they are still fighting to the death. Although it is not said openly, everyone knows it. The Soviet Union was worried that the Germans would seize their warships as an excuse, so they sent Voroshilov to inquire about the situation.

If the Germans deliver normally, then more extensive cooperation can be carried out. If the Germans play tricks, then there will be a stern warning and strong protest.

Yannick nodded and said slowly. "That's right, the sea trial is almost over. If Mr. Rossilov can wait two more days, he can take the two cruisers back. You didn't come here specifically for this matter, did you? Let your embassy send a message Isn't that enough?" He still looked down upon the two cruisers. If he wanted to detain them, he would have to detain the battleship or aircraft carrier.

However, the battleship has little chance. Since Germany last delivered the copycat version of the Yamato battleship drawings, it didn't take long for the Soviets to start building it.

This really surprised Yannick. Didn't he just make these drawings look like that? Could it be that the Soviet experts are all deadbeats? Can’t you tell?

He immediately asked the experts who were responsible for the design drawings and learned that they had worked hard for a month to come up with the design drawings. If they really wanted to build according to these drawings, there would be no problem.

After listening to this, Yannick couldn't laugh or cry, he was so crazy! Do you have obsessive-compulsive disorder? ! Doesn't this mean that the Soviet Union's navy became stronger in vain? He also sent the drawings to England!

However, after discussing it for a long time, he found that the design of this battleship was the same as the Yamato. It had several fatal flaws and it was not impossible to deal with. It could even be said that it could be easily sunk with proper tactics, so he felt relieved.

Of course Voroshilov would not admit it. "Your Highness has misunderstood. I am here to expand the scale of cooperation between us."

Yannick smiled slightly. "Isn't that railway built just for the cooperation between us? It doesn't matter, Your Excellency Voroshilov." The railway from the Ural Mountains to the border will be open in half a year at most, and then the ore from the Ural Mountains will be available. Will be sent to Germany in a steady stream.

Rossilov pondered for a moment and then spoke. "We need an aircraft carrier. Does your country have aircraft carrier drawings?"

There are indeed drawings. As early as a year ago, Yannick handed over the data of the Essex-class aircraft carrier to the naval design department for their design.

Moreover, German designers and engineers transformed dozens of escort aircraft carriers in Daming, and even participated in the construction of real aircraft carriers, which is considered to be rich experience. "Of course." He said and told Rosilov the performance data of the Essex-class aircraft carrier. But I secretly thought to myself, why do you, a field marshal, care about the navy?

I saw Voroshilov nodding frequently, seemingly satisfied with these performances. “Then can we review the drawings first?”

Come again? Yannick sneered in his heart. "Of course you can, but as for the review fee, let's take the price of 10 million tons of grain."

Voroshilov looked puzzled. "Your Majesty Yannick, are you kidding? The last battleship was only 1.6 million tons."

Yannick snorted coldly, pretending to be sullen and said with an unhappy look on his face. "I'm angry when I say this. General Tukhachevsky clearly promised that we would build the warship after your country reviewed the drawings. It's good for you that you started building it without saying a word, without even saying hello. , causing us great losses. If we take the aircraft carrier blueprints this time, I’m afraid we’ll have to repeat the same trick again?!”

"..." Faced with Yannik's merciless rebuke, Voroshilov coughed slightly in embarrassment. "Maybe Marshal Tukhachevsky didn't make it clear at the time."

Yannick waved his hand. "Let's forget about the past. You have to review the drawings first. The cost is 10 million tons of grain, which is not negotiable. If it is built directly by us, the price can be negotiated. In short, we will not deliver the drawings." He said it categorically, leaving no room for negotiation.

Voroshilov was silent for a while and finally nodded. "Then we want two."

In fact, like most countries at present, the Soviet Union does not take aircraft carriers too seriously. It just builds them with the mentality that others have to have them.

You must know that the Soviet Union's first aircraft carrier was built during the Cold War.

After the end of World War II, the United States vigorously promoted the theory of "the uselessness of aircraft carriers" and conducted nuclear tests on Bikini Island. The test products were several aircraft carriers (scrapped). The power of nuclear bombs can be imagined, and the Soviets were indeed fooled. In a few years, the navy became the least valued service.

During the Khrushchev period, the Americans continued to cheat. "We don't know how to deal with these big guys. It's useless. We can kill them with missiles." As a result, the Soviet Union vigorously developed missile cruisers and nuclear-powered submarines.

Later, Marshal Gorshikov of the Soviet Union strongly advocated, and because of high-level guiding ideology issues, Soviet aircraft carriers had everything on board, including air defense, anti-ship, anti-ground, air and other weapons. They did not need a fleet to carry out tasks independently, until The Soviet Union collapsed.

Yannick agreed happily. "No problem, we happen to have a free shipyard and can start construction immediately."

Next, Voroshilov proposed the manufacture of 460 naval guns, and Yannik agreed without hesitation. As for whether Germany can build such an exaggerated large-caliber naval gun with its current industrial capabilities, it is not his concern. If you can't make a high-quality product, you will make a defective one. Even if it explodes after being fired a few times, there are always excuses.

After talking about business, they came to the banquet hall.

After three drinks, Yannik brought up Tukhachevsky again. "Marshal Voroshilov, to tell you the truth, in my eyes Marshal Tukhachevsky is the greatest commander-in-chief of your Soviet Union. And during my last visit to the Soviet Union, I discussed future military development trends with him. It was a very pleasant exchange. I can say that I benefited a lot from that conversation. He enabled our German military development to complete the modernization transformation at least ten years in advance. I am really grateful for this. Please I must convey my gratitude to him when I return home."

Listening to Yannick's compliments to Tukhachevsky with a slight twist of his tongue, a hint of evil flashed in Voroshilov's eyes. "Okay. I will definitely convey His Excellency Yanik's greetings to dear Comrade Tukhachevsky."
