Third Reich: I took over power

"Your Excellency, the refitting of the P-class battleships has been completed. All P-class battleships have been equipped with 380mm main guns. It's more powerful than the previous 35mm main gun."Marshal Redl looked happy.

Hess nodded. Before the war broke out, he changed the main gun of the battleship P from 35 mm to 380 mm. This was what he meant.

In this era, the 305-meter main gun is in In naval battles, it has no effect and cannot even penetrate the main armor of new battleships. Even the 33mm main gun of the Dunkirk-class battlecruiser is not powerful enough.

That's it. , so Hess decided to replace the P-class battleships with 380mm main guns before the outbreak of the war, thereby further improving the combat effectiveness of these battleships. Let these battleships transform from a soy sauce role to a main force on the battlefield. After all, the P-class battleships The number of battleships was as high as 8, accounting for almost half of the battleships of the Third Reich Navy.

"After the P battleship is modified, other aspects of its performance will not be greatly affected, right?"Hess asked.

After all, the 380mm main gun is hundreds of tons heavier than the 305mm main gun. The three main gun turrets add up to increase the displacement of the P-class battleship by thousands of tons.

"Your Excellency, the P-class battleships left enough modification redundancy at the beginning of their design. Although the increase in displacement has reduced the battleship's speed from 35 knots to 34 knots, the impact in this regard is not significant. It can be foreseen that once a naval battle breaks out, we will give the Imperial Royal Navy a big surprise."Marshal Redl's face was full of smiles.

He seemed to have seen that in the next sea battle, the navy of the Third Reich went on a killing spree and defeated the Royal Navy. Especially these P-class battleships will have powerful The firepower and speed are even more powerful than the O-class battlecruisers. Marshal Redl is already very much looking forward to the performance of these class battleships on the battlefield.

"very good. Then in the next decisive battle, our chances of winning will be even greater. The Royal Navy is about to be trampled under our feet. Our navy will become the most powerful navy in the world!"Hess also seemed confident.

Now the Third Reich Navy already has 17 capital ships. If it can defeat the Empire on which the sun never sets, then the 14 new capital ships in the Empire's shipyard will become The possession of the Third Reich. In the future attack on the Woolly Bear Alliance, once Ulyanovgrad is captured, the H battleships and 8 P-class battleships in the shipyard there will also become the first The spoils of the Three Reichs.

By then, the size of the Third Reich Navy's capital ships will have doubled. The number of captured battleships alone will be as many as 26. The Third Reich Navy will suffer some losses in this battle. But the number of capital ships will definitely exceed thirty or even forty. In this aspect alone, no country in the world can compare with the Third Reich.

Even if these battleships will be given up for naval battles because of aircraft carriers and carriers The status of the main force. However, the huge displacement can deploy a large number of anti-aircraft weapons. It is no problem at all to use it for anti-aircraft bombing and bombing of islands.

"Your Excellency, everything is ready. The entire plan can be implemented!"Marshal Raeder is quite excited.

This is the plan of the Navy Commander of the Third Reich. Seeing that the plan is about to be implemented, as the head of the Navy of the Third Reich, Marshal Raeder naturally feels and honored.

"Then let’s get started!"Hess gave the order directly without any hesitation.

The Third Reich has already made relevant preparations. If it is delayed any longer, it may lead to long nights and dreams.

Directly when the Third Reich's naval strength is at its peak, in one fell swoop Defeating the Royal Navy and winning the naval battle is undoubtedly the most direct and effective way

"Yes, Your Majesty the Governor!"Marshal Redl replied.

Immediately, the entire Third Reich Navy took action.

A telegram was sent from the Admiralty, and the Imperial Navy Mediterranean Provisional Fleet Headquarters in the Port of Marseille in southern Gaul received the telegram. Then. , this small fleet immediately took action

"Colonel Joachim, the Admiralty has sent a telegram. Next, it’s time for us to perform!"Major General William Fulks had a smile on his face.

"General, our mission is somewhat dangerous! This is for us to act as bait. The Royal Navy might be dispatched in full force to encircle and suppress us. The speed and firepower of the two Dunkirk-class battlecruisers are not very strong. Once caught by the Royal Navy, the consequences would be disastrous."Colonel Joachim was a little worried. Rear Admiral William Fulkes nodded:"Yes, among the current capital ships of the Royal Navy, those that exceed us in terms of speed include three George V-class battleships, Hood Battlecruiser HMS Repulse and Battlecruiser HMS Repulse. However, the Imperial Navy will naturally not watch us die. They will definitely rescue us!"

"Yes, General. The Royal Navy and the Imperial Navy will all come out in force this time. And the decisive battle between us and the Royal Navy will also break out. I really didn’t expect that this decisive naval battle involving the fate of two countries would be provoked by us."Colonel Joachim sighed with emotion.

"This is our honor. We will personally bury the Royal Navy of the Empire on which the sun never sets, and bury the powerful overlord of the past. They have ruled the world's oceans for too long. Next, the world's oceans will change their owners. And this master will inevitably be the Third Reich!"Rear Admiral William Fulkes is very confident. He is full of confidence that the Imperial Navy will win this crucial naval battle.

"Yes, the Imperial Navy will win! No one could stop the Imperial Navy from winning this naval battle. Not even God!"Captain Joachim said.

In the early morning of January 3, 1940, two Dunkirk-class battlecruisers of the Third Reich Navy, protected by two M-class light cruisers and four X destroyers, left The Port of Marseille sailed to the Strait of Gibraltar, preparing to cross here and enter the Atlantic Ocean.

With the Royal Navy's Mediterranean Fleet destroyed, the Royal Navy could no longer prevent them from entering the Atlantic Ocean. However, naturally, this news could not be hidden from the Royal Navy. _Feilu reminds you: three things about reading - collection, recommendation,
