Chapter 896 New Aircraft Carrier

Kiel, Deutsches Shipyard.

Here is Germany's largest shipyard, where the German aircraft carriers are built.

Now, the aircraft carrier built by Germany for the Soviet Union has been launched, and it is outfitting on the pier beside it, and on the vacant slipway, the construction of the next-level German aircraft carrier has begun.

Compared with the previous Earl Zeppelin class, the displacement of this aircraft carrier has been further enlarged. The standard displacement is 40,000 tons, and the full-load displacement exceeds 50,000 tons. It is definitely one of the best.

The advantage of the increase in displacement is a larger deck area. This aircraft carrier is still in the stage of construction in stages and has not yet been formed. In the design, its flight deck length has reached 280 meters.

Moreover, in the development stage of this aircraft carrier, pre-research of various equipment has been carried out, mainly the use of high-power steam catapults on the aircraft carrier, plus arresting cables, these equipment are all carried out according to Cyric's vision. .

In this era, catapults are very common. Seaplanes carried by cruisers, battleships, etc., want to take off from warships, all rely on catapults, but the power of these catapults is too small, and can only catapult seaplanes. With a speed of more than 100 kilometers per hour, it is enough to take off.

Large-scale carrier-based fighter jets, relying on their own power, can already meet the needs of the aircraft to take off directly on the deck. At this time, it seems useless to engage in high-power catapults for aircraft carriers.

Only a few high-level executives know the inside story. Cyric's request now is obviously to prepare for the future jets to board the ship. This new type of aircraft carrier is planned to be able to carry all the existing carrier-based aircraft, and the upcoming follow-up aircraft. Entering the development stage of the jet!

Jets take off and land very fast, and conventional methods are not acceptable.

Today, the shipyard is extremely lively, with swastika flags hanging everywhere, roaring in the wind.

In the cold wind of the North Sea, Cyric and his party appeared at the shipyard. What was different from before was that a group of yellow-skinned dwarfs also appeared in Cyric's entourage.

"Head Cyric, your progress really surprised us. In just a few short years, you have surpassed our island nation in the construction and use of aircraft carriers."

The one who spoke was Pheasant Fifty-six. This time, he came to Germany in secret with the sincerity of the island country. At the same time, he was also warmly welcomed. The president of Cyric, who had a lot of opportunities, actually invited them to come to the aircraft carrier shipyard in person. inspection.

For Cyric, this was originally the plan, and at the same time, having them come here to have a look will further enhance their friendship.

That year, Cyric visited the island country, and after negotiation, imported their aircraft carrier design drawings from the island country as a reference for the German aircraft carrier design.

The island country has started long ago, but Germany, which started from scratch, has now become the overlord of the ocean. The German navy has experienced a lot of hard work.

"War is the best litmus test. Only in war can a strong army be forged." Cyric said, "Pheasant, although your navy claims to be the most powerful navy in Asia, it does not have one. How can an army be tempered in a well-matched battle?"

The island nation's navy is very strong, the opponent is too weak, and there is no decent battle. From Cyric's mouth, he heard that Pheasant Fifty-Six was very unhappy.

"However, we will soon use facts to prove that our navy is really strong." Pheasant fifty-six said, he was confident.

"The successful experience of our battle at Scapa Flow cannot be replicated." Cyric said as he walked: "After all, your navy is too far away from the enemy, more than 3,000 nautical miles, and ours is here. This battle is only a few hundred nautical miles away."

Pheasant Fifty-Six stopped immediately. At this time, his heart was shocked. His own Z plan was kept secret. What Cyric said now, the meaning was obvious. He actually knew that he wanted to To attack Pearl Harbor?

This is too scary, isn't it? Germany knows, does the United States know? If the United States knew about it, then this sneak attack on its own side would not have been successful.

"Führer Cyric, how do you know that our target is more than 3,000 nautical miles?" Pheasant Fifty-Six suppressed his inner unease and asked in a low voice.

At this point, they had already passed the slipway, and on the outfitting dock, countless workers were building the Soviet aircraft carrier. The scene was so hot that Pheasant Fifty-Six felt his back was soaked.

"Guess what." Cyric said: "If the island country wants to expand, it will inevitably conflict with the United States. With absolute strength, the United States can achieve absolute victory. Therefore, if the island country wants to succeed, it must be There is only one way, when the war starts, use a surprise attack to completely destroy the U.S. Pacific Fleet. From a tactical point of view, this is the same as when we fought Scapa Flow.”

If the British navy was still very strong without the success of Germany's sneak attack on Scapa Flow, then the battle between Germany and the United Kingdom would have been impossible. Even if the British navy blocked the sea transportation line, Germany would still be in big trouble.

Island countries are also in the same predicament. Island countries are more dependent on maritime transportation, and these will be threatened by the United States. Then, a sudden attack to destroy the Pacific Fleet is a big gamble, but it is the best plan for island countries.

Island countries do not have the ability to fight a protracted war with the United States, so they can only make raids.

"Führer Cyric, I am here this time to seek help from you." Pheasant fifty-six said: "The United States continues to support King George VI, and the United States and you have huge conflicts. , the United States is in the Pacific Ocean, and it is transporting supplies to the Middle East and Africa to extend the life of George VI, if we control the Pacific Ocean, not a single American transport ship will survive!"

"Yes, there is no problem at all." Cyric was generous: "All the battle plans, processes, and conclusions of our surprise attack on Scapa Flow can be reviewed at any time."

Pheasant Fifty-Six shook his head: "No, no, not this, we want to seek equipment support from you. When you raided Scapa Flow, the air force and the navy were jointly operating, especially the first one. The sneak attack of a batch of bombers played the most important role, we want the Junker-290 bomber and the matching bombs that are specially designed for warships.”

Even if Germany does not summarize it, the navies of other countries have already concluded it, and even the feelings of a local mouse are not spared. The whole process of Germany's surprise attack on Scapa Flow has long been excavated.

Pheasant fifty-six doesn't want these things, he needs equipment.

The Junkers-290 is enough to take off from the mainland of the island country, fly to Hawaii, and then fly back after the bombing. Moreover, if it pretends to be a civil airliner, it will be better as the first wave of strike force.

He looked at Cyric with expectant eyes, and saw Cyric shaking his head firmly: "Impossible."
