Chapter 288： Hindenburg Class

Welcome, please remember the address of this site: Read on your mobile phone, so that you can read the latest chapters of the novel "The Third Reich" at any time...

The Bismarck will be in service by the end of this year, and the second warship of the same type will be in service by the end of next year!

Although in later generations, the formation of aircraft carriers is a symbol of sea power, but in the era of World War II, battleships are still not out of date. The rough waves in the Atlantic Ocean and the harsh natural conditions often make it impossible for carrier-based aircraft to take off smoothly. In this case, the advantages of battleships can be brought into play!

Therefore, the German Navy has always been walking on two legs. While grasping the aircraft carrier, the battleship has not given up. After the completion of the two Bismarck-class battleships, the German Navy will start construction of a larger battleship.

Hindenburg class.

After the signing of the "British-German Navy Agreement" last time, the tonnage of German ships can reach 35% of the British army. As a result, under the promotion of Cyrenk, the German Supreme Command formally adopted the large-scale shipbuilding plan code-named "z" plan.

This "z" plan is quite large, including a series of battleships and aircraft carriers. Among them, the core of battleships is two large battleships. One of them is the "Bismarck" class battleship, and the other is the "Hindenburg". "Class battleship.

Historically, Hitler was self-righteous and interfered in the construction of the Hindenburg class everywhere.

The originally planned displacement was 60,000 tons and equipped with a 403mm main gun. As a result, Hitler had a whim and wanted to replace it with a 420mm gun.

This was not enough. Later, Hitler asked for a 480mm main gun. As a result, the displacement of the Hindenburg class jumped to 80,000 tons!

This is almost the same as the special era of later generations, how bold and high-yielding people are, with a large satellite producing tens of thousands of tons per mu.

And this is not the most terrifying. In the second year, Hitler asked for an increase to 10,000 tons and an 800mm gun!

In addition to the people from the Naval Design Bureau rushing around and constantly changing new designs, Krupp, as the leading company in German artillery, is also struggling.

Although Krupp was filled with indignation, he continued to work hard. It's a pity that the technology is too difficult. This kind of artillery was not developed until the end of World War II.

It is useless to make excessive demands to transcend this era, and Hitler has always been an absolute cannonist. Only Cyric's words can be heard by Hitler.

Cyric put it very simply, the main gun is too big, which will cause the West to join in an arms race, and Germany is no match for them.

Therefore, Hitler did not frantically pursue the super cannon.

Now, Germany started construction on the Bismarck class, and the Hindenburg class has always been on paper, but the specific indicators of this warship have been clarified.

This is a 70,000-ton-class warship with a full load of displacement. The main gun adopts three triple-mounted 460mm heavy guns!

(Similarly, the specific indicators are placed in the work related, and you are welcome to read it, and you are also welcome to complain in the book review area.)

Combining the actual situation in Germany, it is impossible to start construction now. Therefore, the construction plan of this battleship ranks behind the Bismarck class, and it may even reach 40 years.

By that time, Germany has been able to control the whole of Europe, and can start construction in shipyards along the coast of France, or even in Britain! One Germany is certainly not enough, but after integrating the entire Western Europe, can it still defeat the American imperialism?

The target of this Hindenburg-class battleship is no longer the British Navy, but the US Navy! In order to fight for hegemony in the entire Atlantic, Germany will definitely have a tragic sea war with the United States!

Since Cyric has crossed, it will certainly not let World War II be the same as in history, and ultimately fall short. Cyric has already thought out various plans to win this war, and it will inevitably encounter the United States in the Atlantic. !

Cyric's thoughts just drifted away, until Molotov on the side called him softly, "General Cyric?"

Cyric just recovered, and he said to Molotov: "Sorry, I didn't sleep well yesterday."

Didn't sleep well? When he saw Cyric's eyes just now, Molotov saw something, it was an ambitious desire! At the same time, a terrible thought rose in his mind. According to the secret agreement, Germany and the Soviet Union would carve up Poland, and Germany and the Soviet Union would directly border each other. Then, will a war break out between the two countries?

Germany is terrible.

Afterwards, Molotov also came back to his senses, thinking about this now, it is too far away, at least for now, Germany and the Soviet Union are still cooperative.

"This warship looks really good. General Cyric, when will we get the 406mm naval gun?" Molotov certainly remembered the past. The two sides had an agreement on the naval gun.

"Wait until you provide us with enough ore according to our needs." Cyric followed, thinking again, and continued: "If the ore can't meet our requirements, you can use other materials instead. For example, if your oil production is good, we can also import oil from you for conversion."

After the signing of the Soviet-German agreement, the Soviet Union and Germany have temporarily become good friends. Then it is normal for Germany to import oil from the Soviet Union. Anyway, the Soviet Union has so much oil, they can't use it at all~www.novelhall .com~Now, we have begun to import large quantities of oil from Romania, which makes Germany's crude oil reserves continue to climb, but for a country that lacks oil, no amount of oil is much.

Molotov immediately agreed: "There is no problem with this, and we can continue to discuss in detail. We hope to get this heavy naval gun as soon as possible."

Compared with history, the proportion of diesel used in the German army has greatly increased. Germany needs enough oil! Now, as much stock as the Soviet Union has, it can be imported. Anyway, Germany has funds.

For the Soviet Union, the Soviet-class battleships are already scheduled to start construction this year. They need heavy naval guns. In the face of difficulties in self-research, importing from Germany is the safest way. Both sides will get what they need!

Germany lacks resources. Cyric can solve all this with sufficient knowledge of his posterity! For example, for the issue of oil, Cyrek has always had a plan for it, and it can be exploited on a large scale at any time, and other mineral resources, besides importing, can also make new efforts!

For example, tungsten is essential for making armor-piercing bullets!
