The Third Reich

Chapter 88: Aircraft carrier plan

   "Everyone has seen that in front of the fighter planes in the air, water ships are quite vulnerable." Cyric presided over the meeting, and now he is still in charge of the military equipment of the empire.

   "Yes, Cyrek, we should adjust our direction and develop our aircraft carrier formation." Naval Commander Erich said: "Otherwise, we will become German sinners."

"We want to get rid of the shadow of defeat in the First World War, we must use a brand-new combat model." Cyric said: "The navy cannot be without carrier-based aviation, especially in defending our interests in the Mediterranean and attacking Britain. In the process, our aircraft carrier formation will play an irreplaceable role."

   After saying this, Cyric glanced at Hitler.

You must know that Hitler was an absolute cannonist and was obsessed with cannons. Otherwise, there would be no such terrible Dora cannon. It would be quite difficult for Hitler to change his mind. Without Hitler’s support, That's all in vain.

   And now, Hitler has obviously changed his mind.

   "A strong empire needs a strong navy." Hitler said: "For the thousand-year destiny of our empire, we cannot live without aircraft carriers."

   Although Hitler is a proud man, he is still very farsighted. Now, those bombs that fall from the sky seem to be swaying in front of his eyes. He has clearly captured something. Without a dive bomber, there would be no victory in the next war!

   If you don't beat Britain to the ground, it won't be a victory!

   "However, our designers have studied the aircraft carrier drawings of the island nations, and think their aircraft carriers are not suitable for the Atlantic environment." Admiral Alto Schnewind said.

"Yes, so we have to make a series of improvements." Cyric said: "If possible, the British Royal Ark's design is the most suitable solution for us, but unfortunately, the British are not. It may be given to us, so we need to make a series of improvements on Akagi's drawings."

Cyric had already thought about it. Now, taking advantage of the shock brought by the dive bombing, he explained to the people present: "First of all, the hangar must be completely closed. We don't have to think about taking off directly from the lower hangar. This kind of wrong plan, as long as there are three elevators, the aircraft can be easily raised to the deck."

"Secondly, on the right end of the deck, a bridge must be set up. This is the most suitable position to command the take-off and landing of the carrier-based aircraft." Cyric said: "On the deck, there must be a catapult to quickly and easily eject our carrier. The most important thing is to change the layout of the deck."

   While in the island country, Cyric put forward a lot of opinions, but did not mention the layout that would affect the entire aircraft carrier change.

   The current aircraft carriers are all through the deck, so the utilization rate is not high!

   Now, it is a newly designed aircraft carrier, so when designing, it is more convenient to change the aircraft carrier to an angled deck!

  In this way, the take-off and landing areas are separated, which can greatly facilitate deck operations!

   Cyric explained to the people present. They all expressed their affirmation of Cyric’s idea of ​​this brainstorming. Hitler made the decision on the spot, just follow Cyric's instructions!

"The full load displacement should reach about 30,000 tons, so that it can carry more than 70 combat aircraft." Cyric said: "If there are two such aircraft carriers, we can surround Britain, if there are six such aircraft. With the aircraft carrier, we can completely cut off the transportation routes in the Atlantic Ocean!"

  In history, Germany did not have a single aircraft carrier, but now, Cyric’s proposal is to have at least six modern 30,000-ton aircraft carriers!

   At the same time, after the war, there will be quite a few **** aircraft carriers!

"We can't live without an aircraft carrier, otherwise it would be a complete dereliction of duty." Hitler said: "Cyric is right. We must prepare immediately. After completing the design, we will start construction this year to build our aircraft carrier. I propose that our The aircraft carrier, named Earl Zeppelin."

   "Then our navy, are we going to transfer all of it to the aircraft carrier?" Carl von Dennitz said cautiously.

   This experiment is too shocking. Even Dunnitz knows that dive bombing will pose the greatest threat to surface ships. What about other methods? Are they all outdated?

   "Of course not." Cyric said: "Carrier-based aircraft on the water have huge combat advantages. However, aircraft carriers are also limited."

"For example, when the wind and waves are too strong, our aircraft carrier swings too much, and the carrier-based aircraft cannot take off and land. Once the aircraft carrier cannot take off the carrier-based aircraft, it will lose all combat effectiveness. In this case, the battleship Still the king on the water~www.wuxiaspot.com~In our water fleet, there must be both aircraft carriers and other warships."

   If you fully switch to aircraft carriers, you will make new mistakes. If you are in the Pacific, it is not a problem to develop aircraft carriers, because the Pacific is calm and the Atlantic has a harsh climate. In many cases, carrier-based aircraft cannot take off!

   "So, how about we put some naval guns on the aircraft carrier?" Secretary of Defense Blomberg thought suddenly.

   Place naval guns on the aircraft carrier, turning it into a hybrid product of battleship and aircraft carrier?

   Hearing this, Cyrek instantly remembered the coming of the Soviet Kiev-class aircraft carrier.

  From the Moscow class, to the Kiev class, even to the later Ustinov, the Soviets followed a mixed road, which looked like an aircraft carrier, more like a cruiser, equipped with a large number of weapons, and it was nondescript.

   Is this kind of thing useful? of course not! As an aircraft carrier, you use carrier-based aircraft as weapons! The use of other equipment will greatly reduce the number of carrier-based aircraft carried by the aircraft carrier!

It can be said that the Soviet Union at that time was definitely influenced by Germany. You must know that after World War II, the Soviets acquired all the technology of the German Zeppelin-class aircraft carrier. This unbuilt aircraft carrier was just such a nondescript. s things.

   Some anti-aircraft artillery is a must! However, let's forget about the naval gun!

"No, our aircraft carrier does not need to be equipped with naval guns. It only needs to install some small-caliber air defense firepower." Cyric said: "This exercise not only illustrates the advantages of the aircraft, but also exposes us. Another serious flaw of our fleet is that our anti-aircraft artillery is too backward, too far behind us! If we don’t improve the anti-aircraft artillery, then we will become German sinners!"
