Battle of the Third Reich

For a destroyer, Bismarck’s parameters have far exceeded the Navy’s original expectations. This battleship was born in the 1930s, when the German Navy never thought of launching a line-up battle with its opponents. ↗ Bismarck is an extension of the German-class armored ship. Hitler tried to test the bottom line of British and French tolerance.

According to the original development plan of the German navy, their ambitions were not as great as expected. The German navy was only determined to build a deterrent fleet, and it was all about developing light cruiser-class ships. The only main ship built was the German-class armored ship that was not a deer or a horse.

At this time, the German navy's thinking was very clear. The German navy was no longer able to confront the naval powers of Europe. The army was forced to put on a collar. Once it was invaded by the sea, Germany would have no power to fight back. In the face of this crisis, the only way out for the German navy is to fight at sea, use submarines and assault ships to disrupt the other’s maritime routes, and force the opponents to truce with Germany.

The parameters of the German-class armored ship can be seen in the wisdom of the German navy at that time. Under the harsh limitations of the Treaty of Versailles, they did their best to design a large attack ship that could complete the strategy of the German navy. At this time, Hitler had not yet taken power, and the Weimar government was cautious, fearing a step beyond Lei Chi. The German level was already the limit that lawmakers could tolerate at that time.

After the Nazis came to power, they did not act rashly. They seemed to be more conservative than the Weimar era. They did not immediately build large surface ships, but invested a lot of money and manpower in the construction of the destroyer fleet. Hitler also showed his favor to Britain. Under his impetus, the British-German naval agreement was signed with Britain, and Germany voluntarily reduced the tonnage of its ships. From the perspective of the British, this is a sign of giving up confrontation with the British. The Germans are full of sincerity.

As a result, Germany used this trick to paralyze Britain for four years. Hitler was indeed a genius of conspiracy. This agreement is equivalent to releasing the German navy’s expansion permit. The most crucial point is that Germany has been able to rebuild their submarine forces since then. Wait until the war breaks out and look back at the treaty. The British are indeed raising tigers to cockle themselves.

Hitler behaved so impatiently. On the eighteenth day after the signing of the treaty, the German Navy laid the first keel of the Admiral Hipper-class heavy cruiser, which exceeded all parameters. The sea beasts of ordinary treaty cruisers laid the foundation for the modern development of the German navy.

Hitler has been working hard to paralyze the nerves of the British for a long time in the future. He has always hinted to the British in public and private that all actions in Germany are not directed against the British Empire, but to guard against the edge. France's eye-catching France-France lifted the table. Where did people stare at me.

The British, obsessed with appeasement, even believed this kind of nonsense. Speaking from the bottom of my heart, the Anglo Barbarian has been guarding against the pile of Gaul Meng goods on the opposite side. It is of course the most beautiful to be able to have one more potential free thug.

Scharnhorst and Gresenno came into being, and the German submarine force began to develop at full speed, stunned for four years in the world. From two more than one hundred tons of offshore toys to a powerful force composed of 57 submarines, the British suffered greatly.

Hitler felt that he had touched the psychological bottom line of the British, and his ambitions began to expand. Hitler was ready to test the tolerance of the British again. At the same time, in order to attract the navy factions that had been ambiguous at that time, he approved the ambitious "z" plan, and the core of this shipbuilding plan is the one at the foot of Xu Jun. Battleship Bismarck.

It can be said. Bismarck is a product of both politics and military. This background is enough to make her different. As a symbol of moral technology and Nazi force display, a benchmark, Bismarck concentrated the most advanced technology of German workers at that time. Hitler deliberately used her to contain the main force of the British Navy and cooperated with other assault ships and submarines to cut off the British maritime transport routes.

The problem is that Bismarck is inherently bad. The blank of this battleship actually came from World War I. It only used the most advanced construction technology and absorbed a bunch of fashionable designs in appearance, so that she seemed to surpass the contemporaries. Battleship. This warship is new, just like Krupp’s other products, it is murderous yet delicate and elegant, making people want to wrap her in a carton.

Standing on the large battle bridge, Xu Jun leaned his back against the fence and looked towards the top of the mast.

"How is the shooting performance and whether it meets the combat standards." Xu Jun asked Zaft with his head turned sideways.

"The hit rate has reached the expected standard, and the shooting of moving targets is also satisfactory. The soldiers' training is very hard. They look forward to being able to enter combat as soon as possible." Zaft replied respectfully.

"The soldiers are very worried, they have no time to catch up with the battle." Redell came to the side, he very much hoped that this battleship could be put into combat as soon as possible. Compared with the captured British battleships, he preferred to see the German production. The battleship galloped across the battlefield.

"Let them not worry. Our enemies are not the only one in front of us. The road to the rise of Germany is full of ups and downs. They will definitely face more powerful and fierce enemies in the future. Every training they do now is to ensure They will be able to exert a stronger force in future battles.

I look forward to the Bismarck, and I look forward to seeing her tearing her enemies to pieces on the battlefield more than anyone else. But it is not yet time, and there is still a lot of preparation work to be done. This warship is an important experimental platform for our latest naval technology. She will guide our follow-up warship design and construction ideas. Germany now needs her to continue to endure and endure. Go on and complete all the training until one day she will appear in front of everyone with the most brilliant and dazzling gesture. "

Xu Jun waved his arms with a firm and powerful tone. His provocative words made those naval officers instantly feel full of mission and were full of blood.

"Observe. My head, everything follows your will. I assure you that the Bismarck will never live up to your expectations." Zaft and the naval officers and men on the bridge stood upright and nodded to Xu Jun.

"How is the debugging of that thing going now?" Xu Jun pointed his finger at the radar antenna mounted on the top of the 15-meter rangefinder on the top of the bridge.

"The improved radar has a very good effect and is much more advanced than the previous model. It can already meet the operational requirements. Do you want to go to the control room to see it?" Zaft replied.

"Yes, I am very interested." Xu Jun answered happily.

German radar technology is not as backward in theory as expected. This has been proven on the French front. The Waltzburg series of radars and their improved models have already suffered enough for the Royal Air Force, and any act of crossing the strait centerline is now equivalent to suicide.

The German Navy pays more attention to radar technology than the Air Force. The problem is that the technical level has never been mentioned. The development of the German Navy's radar has entered a dead end. The Air Force’s technical blockade of the Navy has exacerbated this situation. The root cause of the culprit is still the power control of the fat man Herman Goering.

Goering regards the Navy as the Air Force's primary competitor, because both units rely on technology to eat, and there is no doubt that the super-golden beast, regardless of budget or resources, Goring has intentionally or unintentionally pressed the navy. Gorin couldn't afford the army's entrenched officers and Hitler. There is no psychological burden to bully a navy that has no backers.

The Navy's radar technology has always been at the forefront of all services. The Air Force actually started much later than the Navy. However, behind the Air Force, there is a Goering backing. After a lot of technical resources have been invested. At the beginning, it came to the top, especially in the later period, the actual body of the hollow magnetron was obtained in the wreckage of the enemy aircraft that was shot down, and it was developed into a large number of advanced airborne radars. These technologies can actually be shared with the navy, but Goering is not at all impressed. These resources are not enough to equip the air force. How can the navy be able to share another one.

It was not until the end of the war that the German navy had a radar system comparable to that of Britain and America. However, the overall performance is still lagging behind the opponent. The distance between the two is almost a whole generation away. Now Xu Jun has arrived in this world. Of course, this kind of problem will not happen again. At this time, the fat man has been blunted, let alone The Air Force, the entire Third Reich fell into the hands of Xu Jun.

Relying on the technology he mastered, Xu Jun put forward proposals for improvement to the Navy’s radar contractor, Gema, and proposed the development intention of two search radars to another contractor, Pinch. Xu Jun did not directly take out the shipborne radar drawings of the United States and Britain, but only took out the technology and ideas of the cavity magnetron and the ppi display, and provided a design sketch of some mature technologies.

On the condition of providing these technologies free of charge, Xu Jun let the two contractors each draw out the best R&D team, join the Military Equipment and Technology R&D Bureau directly under the headquarters, and Rudolf Kuhnhold, a pioneer in naval radar technology Under the leadership of the professor, he developed the naval radar Xu Jun wanted.

Xu Jun wants to see if the German naval radar developers can develop their own radar series after acquiring these technologies. He was pleasantly surprised by the results. Several R&D teams soon came up with satisfactory results. These people are not lacking in research and development capabilities. What they lack is only some advanced technologies and concepts. With the help of Xu Jun, they quickly found out the direction of development and gathered the technology that Germany already mastered to develop the latest type. Ship-to-sea search radar and ship-to-air search radar.

The Bismarck is equipped with a new u200 type sea search radar with a wavelength of 10 cm and a frequency of 2800 Hz. The exploration distance has reached 40 kilometers, which is basically similar to the performance of the later US military sg radar.

More importantly, this radar is equipped with the latest ppi display, the full name is a flat position display, which is a circular display that everyone will be familiar with in the future, and a scan line rotates around the axis, which can intuitively display the specific orientation of the target. With distance. Previously, ordinary oscilloscopes were still used in Germany. The reflected model displayed a peak on the display, which was inconvenient to observe and prone to human error.

Inside the bridge on the same deck of the Bismarck battle armored command tower is a senior officer’s cabin for the officer on duty and the navy officer. The two in the front are the second officer’s and nautical long’s cabins. Cabin.

Now the first officer’s cabin has been changed to a radar command room. In addition to the original control room, the four radars of the entire ship are all led to the signal. A chart table and a plane track board are placed in the room. The three walls are equipped with four radar display screens and correspondingly equipped electronic equipment. A captain leads a twelve-person radar squad responsible for the operation here. They provide the searched target parameters to the artillery command post and through cable and telephone. Combat bridge.
