Chapter 589

The banquet was held very successfully, at least so what Zheng Jiangming thought.

In fact, it was not until the banquet that Bai Zhizhan learned from Zheng Jiangming that the Tyman Empire sent several air force generals to discuss cooperation with the Empire. To put it simply, it was to exchange things that the Empire was interested in for the equipment and supplies that the Great Empire urgently needed.

Of course, this includes a radio remote-controlled bomb.

The empire used for exchanges mainly warships.

In fact, this is also a cooperation project agreed upon before.

According to Zheng Jiangming, the empire handed over the two "Xuhai" class ships to the Tsuman Navy in the name of compensation, and provided supporting ammunition, such as 400mm armor-piercing missiles, before the mid-term overhaul.

The reason is that the standard ammunition of the Torman Navy is different from that of the Imperial Navy. It cannot be used for use, and there is no need to build a production line specifically.

In addition, the Empire helped the Tsuman Navy build two rapid battleships developed from the "Xuhai" class through technical assistance.

The main thing is to replace it with the 380mm naval gun from the Torman Navy.

The two "Xuhai"-class ships will also be replaced with the Taurus Empire's naval guns during the mid-term overhaul.

However, the so-called aid is actually to provide "Xuhai"-level design drawings. The so-called transformation is just an adjustment to adopt the standard equipment of the Tsuman Navy.

As for whether the shipyards of the Taman Empire can build such warships, it has nothing to do with the empire.

However, the fast battleship is not the point.

After two years of negotiations, the two sides finally reached an agreement on cooperation projects involving aircraft carriers, or the Imperial Navy made concessions.

The empire will provide the "Imperial Capital"-level design drawings to the Tyman Empire and arrange engineers to modify the design according to the needs of the Tyman Navy.

Simply put, it is to tailor a fleet aircraft carrier for the Thuman Navy based on the "Imperial Capital" level.

What I want to say is mainly to target the bad weather on the Beihai and Beixi Lake Ocean, enhance the airworthiness performance of the aircraft carrier, and appropriately reduce other performances, such as the number of carrier-based aircraft.

In addition, it is necessary to adjust the size of the flight deck and hangar according to the carrier-based aircraft of the Tsuman Navy, such as the height of the hangar.

Other weapons, such as anti-aircraft guns, also use the main equipment of the Torman Navy.

To put it bluntly, the "Imperial Capital"-level hull is only used, and almost all the others need to be replaced.

In order to obtain the aircraft carrier, the Thuman Empire also spent its money.

The first is to provide the Empire with the design drawings of the latest submarines and help the Empire's shipyard master the construction technology of the new submarines.

Secondly, radio remote control technology is provided, as well as a batch of remote-controlled bombs for testing.

The key is submarines, especially new batteries, and brand new power systems.

This includes a closed cycle engine.

If you want to say, this is also the main purpose of Dunz to attend the banquet, ensuring that the Imperial Navy is interested in the new submarines of the Thuman Navy and is willing to use the advanced technology of the fleet aircraft carrier to exchange for the advanced technology of the submarines, and to ensure that its aircraft carrier plan can be implemented smoothly.

Interestingly, Dunz has always been against the issue of aircraft carriers.

The reason is also very simple. The Tauman Empire has no capital to develop a fleet at all, and it is even more impossible to compete with the powerful Liang Xia Navy in the ocean.

In addition, during the war, it was enough to have Liang Xia's navy.

Fundamentally, it is still national strength.

An aircraft carrier is just a kind of warship. To exert the combat effectiveness of an aircraft carrier, it is necessary to provide supporting combat aircraft and escort warships.

Getting this whole set is not as simple as building an aircraft carrier.

Take the Imperial Navy for example. In an aircraft carrier battle group consisting of 1 fleet aircraft carrier, 1 fast battleship or large cruiser, 2 heavy cruisers, 2 to 4 light cruisers, and 4 to 6 large destroyers, the cost of fleet aircraft carriers accounts for only 20%. If nearly 100 carrier-based aircraft, fleet oil tankers and other auxiliary ships are included, the proportion of fleet aircraft carriers will be even lower.

Obviously, without enough national strength, the aircraft carrier cannot be maintained at all!

That is why the Kingdom of Gaoji and the Kingdom of Daiman have listened to the suggestions of the Imperial Navy and purchased several light aircraft carriers from the Empire through funding and aid. This is, they were used by the Imperial Navy during the war, and after the war ended, they were handed over to the Navy of the Capital Country.

Although the Goman Empire is much more powerful, it is not so easy to form several aircraft carrier battle groups.

Of course, we must also consider the post-war international situation.

In fact, this is also the main reason why the Liangxia Empire has always been unwilling to help the Tiaoman Empire build aircraft carriers.

In Zheng Jiangming's words, if you finally defeat the Western powers and become the overlord of the global ocean, can you still support a new opponent?

Unfortunately, there is no room for negotiation on this matter.

To the end, the imperial authorities had to make concessions and exchange the fleet aircraft carrier for the new Torman submarine.

Of course, the most important thing is that the Imperial Navy now has large aircraft carriers and plans to build super aircraft carriers.

It is only a matter of time that the fleet aircraft carriers have retreated to the second line and are even eliminated.

Compared with the Tyman Navy, there is indeed a big gap in the submarines of the Empire. Obtaining relevant technologies from the Tyman Empire is one of the most ideal choices.

In addition to technology, the two sides also need to exchange materials.

Of course, it was mainly provided assistance to the Tiaoman Empire by the Liangxia Empire.

This includes many special goods that the Goman Empire could not do but had great needs, such as quinine produced in tropical regions.

Although the Thuman Empire followed the Liangxia Empire and hoarded many drugs such as quinine for the treatment of tropical diseases through private procurement channels before the outbreak of the war, the consumption of war far exceeded the pre-war predictions.

Fortunately, the empire had swept the southeastern region of the huge land and controlled the origin of quinine.

However, the most important material is actually oil.

It’s not the military’s turn to decide on this negotiation.

In Zheng Jiangming's words, when the empire decided to send troops to Boshawan, they were negotiating and negotiating with the Tyman Empire, the Kingdom of Rale and the Republic of Ter.

This is also the number one contradiction within the Allied Group.

Although according to the agreement, Posawan will be returned to the Republic of Ter, the agreement also stipulates that the Liangxia Empire will unconditionally obtain the mining rights of the Posawan oil field.

In other words, the Liangxia Empire distributed the oil produced.

According to the distribution plan originally proposed by the imperial authorities, after meeting its own needs, only about 35% of the capacity remains to be provided to the allies.

Obviously, this is far from enough.

The demand proposed by the Tauman Empire accounted for 30% of the total oil production capacity of Posa Bay, and the demand of the Kingdom of Rale was also quite large. We also need to consider the Republic of Ter and the Kingdom of Deman.

After arduous negotiations, there was finally a result that everyone could accept.

The Empire received 60%, the Taman Empire was 25%, the Kingdom of Rale and the Republic of Ter each received 6%, and the other 3% was distributed to other allies.

The key is that the Tauman Empire unconditionally shares coal catalytic technology to alleviate the problem of tight oil supply.

In addition, the agreement will be automatically invalidated after capturing the burial cave.

Most importantly, the Torman Empire promised to regain Romanian oil fields within one year and to reduce the scale of oil imports from Posa Bay after that.

Of course, these are all high-level affairs.
