"The standard displacement is 31,400 tons, the full displacement is 38,000 tons, the length is 239 meters, the width is 29.2 meters, the draft is 9.1 meters, and the rated power of the main engine is 150,000 horsepower. Under extreme conditions, it can reach 165,000 horsepower in a short time."
"Four-axis propulsion, design speed of 31.5 knots, endurance of 7,500 nautical miles/15 knots, equipped with six 460-kilowatt turbine generators and two 150-kilowatt diesel generators."
"Compared with the battleship drawings provided to the Soviet Union, we further increased the freeboard of the battleship Peter the Great to avoid the embarrassing phenomenon of the waterline being too low and waves rising on the front deck."
Speaking of the battleship named Peter the Great, Reinhard seemed particularly excited. In his mouth, this was simply the result of his tireless efforts to fight for his Soviet friends, and it was not easy for him to squeeze out a job in the Navy.
The first warship stipulated in the agreement built by productive forces.
Compared with the other two battleships to be delivered to the Soviet Union in the agreement, this Peter the Great has a relatively smallest tonnage and is the earliest to be completed. If it were not for the fact that the Soviet Union was now expected to cooperate with Germany in attacking Poland, Reinhardt would not really want to do so now.
Just take it out and give it to the Soviet Union.
Although the battleship was basically completed 2 years ago, the final steps of launching it have not been carried out in order to use it for today's drama.
"Mr. Warevsky, I invited you to come to Germany just to visit the launching ceremony of the Peter the Great the day after tomorrow." Reinhard said happily.
"Going into the water the day after tomorrow?!" Warevsky asked incredulously.
In his opinion, the Germans should have built battleships long ago, but they just refused to deliver them to the Soviet Union. But according to the current situation, it seems that they are a little bit different from his original conjecture.
"Of course!" Reinhard laughed heartily: "Germany doesn't have many shipbuilders, and it has manpower to build three modern battleships for the Soviet Union at the same time. This progress will definitely not be fast. If it weren't for the Peter the Great
The tonnage is quite small, so it won’t be completed first.”
Patting Warevsky's shoulder affectionately, Reinhard then patted his own chest and vowed: "But don't worry, this is going to be slow, but we will never cut corners on quality. After all,
Slow work pays off. In less than two years, I guarantee that the remaining two high-quality battleships will be delivered to you."
What is great, this is great. Why can’t the Germans produce faster? Isn’t it because of their pursuit of quality? Despite the doubts of the Soviet Union, they resolutely perform quality control. This is truly in line with Germany.
He is rigorous, serious, objective and upright!
When he thought about his previous unfounded doubts about the German head of state, Walevsky, who had been involved in Soviet politics for many years, was actually a little embarrassed, and had the illusion that he was judging a gentleman's heart with a villain's heart.
"Come on, let me tell you how excellent the Peter the Great was that I brought you back for business this time." Reinhard grabbed Warevsky generously and walked into the airport reception.
room.
In the reception room, Reinhardt introduced several partial schematics hung on the wall in advance with a proud expression: "Considering that the Soviet side of the 11-inch gun used by Germany would probably dislike the small caliber, I made a special trip to issue an order.
We took out the 12-inch L50 gun in the German Navy's 305L56 plan and adopted a 3x3 main gun layout. And the main gun fire control uses our German Zeiss 10-meter baseline optical rangefinder, which can further ensure accuracy."
"As for the secondary guns, they are equipped with four twin 150s and four twin 105s. In addition, a large number of 37mm defense guns are installed, specifically used to defend against sneak attacks by enemy torpedo boats. For example, in the Russo-Japanese naval battle, the Japanese Navy
The tactic of using torpedo boats to deceive people."
Reinhardt's acting skills are superb. With a righteous and awe-inspiring face, he helped the Soviet Navy find all the black spots in history and helped provide countermeasures. But in fact, this bastard's heart was extremely damaging.
The 37mm defense gun, nicknamed "37 Handheld Machine", was a "junk" that was equipped with a large number of German naval warships in history. In World War II, when all warships pursued automation, this thing was actually loaded manually.
The rate of fire is 3-4 seconds, and when shooting, there must be a person hanging a pouch next to him to put a dozen rounds of shells.
Before Raeder foolishly commissioned it to the German Navy, the resourceful Reinhard quickly installed it on the first battleship for the Soviet Union. This group of garbage with no firepower was sent to the Soviet Union as waste.
Friends. But if anyone dares to produce in the future, the Gestapo will not be polite and directly join the "Production and Labor Corps" to undergo labor reform for 100 years.
Of course, Reinhardt's psychological activities were invisible to Walevsky. In the eyes of this layman, who was appointed by Stalin as a member of the General Military Commission of the Soviet Navy and director of the Navy's Political Propaganda Department, the help provided by the Germans
On the contrary, it was too appropriate. For this head of state who spoke clearly and eloquently, Walevsky admired him from the bottom of his heart.
Afterwards, Reinhard professionally introduced Warevsky to the comprehensive protective dome layout of the battleship Peter the Great.
The vertical main installation is 12 inches 305mm, the main upper armor is 50mm, the horizontal section of the dome is 80mm, the inclined section is 110mm, the horizontal armor is divided into two layers, the first layer is 35mm, the second layer is 60mm, the command tower armor is 350mm, and the turret armor is 15 inches 380mm.
200mm on the sides and 150mm on the top. A layout that looks beautiful, but actually weakens the air defense capability.
The self-proclaimed Reinhard also deceived the Peter the Great into abandoning the layout of the traditional German turret design and adopting an Italian turret design with better protection capabilities.
The 150-turreted secondary gun has 120mm of armor on the front, and the 105-gun has a semi-open layout with only an 80-100mm gun shield (this shield limits the barrel elevation angle to only 30 degrees, which means it cannot target air targets).
In terms of power system, Peter the Great seems to have adopted the Italian power system more conscientiously. Because when Germany's Hipper-class heavy cruiser, which was started in 1935, was still using a 55-horsepower one-ton power unit, Italy built it in 1928.
Products of the same type can easily reach the level of 78 horsepower per ton, so such an improvement is actually quite reasonable.
In order to obtain the power system of the Italian Navy, Reinhardt even used Italy's No. 2 figure, Deputy Prime Minister Rossi, inserted by the Gestapo. Without Mussolini's knowledge, he used 5 million US dollars in bribes, and finally
Only then did we get this power system that is even better than the German Navy.
Of course, this is not all because of the power system obtained by the Soviet Union. Generally speaking, it is to prepare for the integration of this power system into Germany's own excellent high-pressure, high-temperature and strong-circulation boilers. As for other aspects, it was more or less suppressed by the Treaty of Versailles.
For so many years, the German navy could only rely on the technology of Italy, the victorious country of World War I.
In addition to this, the only other things that are worthy of praise for this Peter the Great are the welding process used in the construction of the hull and the design of integrating the armor into the hull structure.
While Germany's newly improved welding process saves a lot of structural weight, the fused armor also plays a bullet-resistant role of 1 plus 1 greater than 2, ensuring the basic structural strength of the ship.
Welding technology has developed greatly in 1936. Historically, the Bismarck battleship relied on welding technology, and its hull structure accounted for the lowest proportion of total tonnage at that time.
As for the method of incorporating armor into the hull structure, it was originally created by Japan's famous "God of Shipbuilding" Joe Hiraga, and is now taught to the German shipbuilding department by Reinhardt through conceptual guidance.
