Chapter 85： The importance of aircraft carriers

Cyric, who destroyed Rolls-Royce in one hand, is now very fulfilling. The team he led has completed the main mission to the United Kingdom. Next, Cyric will not need to come forward. Representative, the following things will be done.

At the same time, the personnel of the various companies that will follow will also sweep the goods on the British market. In addition to the automotive industry, there is also the shipbuilding industry, which is also valued by Cyrenk.

Now, during the economic crisis in the UK, shipyards are seriously under-operated. Some small shipyards are in danger of closing down. They can buy their production equipment at the lowest price!

When Cyric came to Clydeban, Scotland, he looked at the empty scene in the shipyard, still a little bit sorrowful.

Cyric knows that, just a few months later, here, construction will begin on a new battleship, the Ark Royal aircraft carrier!

This is an aircraft carrier with a displacement of more than 20,000 tons, a high freeboard ship type, and three shafts and double rudders.

In order to pursue speed, the aspect ratio of Japanese and American aircraft carriers usually reaches 8 to 10, while the Royal Ark is only 7.2, which is more stable. At the same time, the closed bow is more suitable for the harsh sea conditions of the North Atlantic.

From the island country, Cyric obtained all the design drawings of the island country’s aircraft carrier, but the island country’s aircraft carrier drawings did not completely conform to the German construction.

The most direct thing is the difference in the environment. The sea conditions in the North Atlantic are quite harsh. In contrast, the Pacific Ocean is almost like a pond.

If only some aircraft carrier designers could be poached from here! Cyric was absolutely fascinated, this kind of thing can be met but not requested, and it is very difficult to find.

In the Eastern world, there is a cult of personality. Each design bureau is named after the chief designer. Any kind of excellent weapon system can always tell people immediately which designer’s proud work is. It's different. Here more emphasis is placed on collective power.

Therefore, Cyric racked his brains and couldn't figure out who the designer of the Royal Ark was. Moreover, this kind of aircraft carrier will definitely not be done by one or two people. It can only be done by a huge team. .

Of course, if you can dig one or two core characters, it would be pretty good!

However, even if the designer is not poached away, relying on the Akagi design drawings and German craftsmen can complete the manufacture of the aircraft carrier! Thinking of this, Cyric was once again proud.

Without an aircraft carrier, Germany will never win this war!

After completing the British scan, Cyric did not immediately leave for the United States. Another matter allowed Cyric to temporarily stay in Germany.

The argument about aircraft carriers.

With the disappearance of the stormtroopers, the German Wehrmacht finally truly obeyed Hitler's orders. At the same time, the construction of the army began to develop in great strides.

At this time, in the navy, the controversy gradually heated up.

The navy, does it need to build more battleships, or build some aircraft carriers?

"Cyric, you came back just right." In Berlin, after seeing Cyric, Hitler was very happy: "Our navy is arguing about the aircraft carrier."

Of course Hitler knew that Cyric was a supporter of aircraft carriers. Otherwise, why did he go to the island country and spend a lot of money to buy all the aircraft carrier technology of the island country’s Akagi?

But now, many senior navy personnel are skeptical about building aircraft carriers. Is it useful to build aircraft carriers with limited funds?

"If we want to convince our senior personnel, it is best to tell them with a living example." Cyric said: "Gering, I don't know if our air force has confidence?"

Hearing Cyric’s question, Goring nodded immediately: "Of course there is no problem!"

This matter originally had nothing to do with the Air Force. This was a dispute within the Navy. In particular, although Goering wanted to intervene in the aircraft carrier, it seemed difficult now.

But, no matter what, Goring has a strong desire. He is eager for the Air Force to perform better, and now, the opportunity has come!

Use five He51 aircraft to simulate an attack on the Deutsche Vessel! When he heard this news, Goring thought it was Cyric who wanted to watch the Air Force joke, but then Goring wanted to understand that this was exactly when the Air Force performed!

If 5 planes can destroy the Deutsche Welle, what does that mean? The warships built by the Navy with great effort and money are of no use at all! As long as this kind of warship has a low cost aircraft, it can destroy them!

Therefore, the country’s military expenditure must be tilted towards the air force! The Navy burned money, and it was useless!

Goring was originally the ace pilot of World War I. Now, he is personally leading the team to study the advantages and disadvantages of German-class air defense firepower. He has studied thoroughly and formulated a series of tactics.

"Okay, let's conduct this simulation exercise in Beihai." Cyrek said, "If the plane is useful, we will know soon."

The wind and waves in the North Sea were a little big, with huge waves slapped on the hull of the Deutsche Deutschland. This 10,000-ton iron-clad ship was shaking gently with the waves at this time due to the lack of the front of the hull. Shearing, serious waves when sailing against the waves. Waves are constantly coming up, wetting the front end.

8 MAN diesel engines are running at full speed at this time. Each of the 4 diesel engines drives a drive shaft. The vibration is a bit severe, and the entire hull is humming.

At this time, the German navy officers and soldiers have been waiting for a long time. In this storm, they firmly guarded their positions, especially the high artillery soldiers, who were staring at the semi-open gun positions. sky.

The battle will start at any time.

The bridge was crowded with people. Hitler was sitting next to a porthole. The violent bumps made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"Chief, if you feel uncomfortable, you can go down." Aside, Cyric said.

Originally, I planned to observe it on another ship, but the stubborn admirals must think that since they want to simulate real combat, the warship must sail at full speed. Otherwise, should the warship wait quietly on the sea? Come bombing?

This requirement of the Navy is not excessive. After all, warships are quite large, and it is not easy to operate a 10,000-ton warship! At the same time, only when the speed is up, the mobility will be high!

To avoid a bomb falling from the sky, you only need a left full rudder or a right full rudder! However, this requires the warship to advance at full speed!

Therefore, this request of the Navy was passed. Then, another problem is that the high-speed German class can rush to 28 knots! Few other warships in the German navy can do that.

Therefore, there is no other way but to get to the German level. That's good, feel the bomb falling from the sky, be immersive, and it is easier to change their minds!
