Chapter 31 Embarkation
After completing a series of handover work, Cheng Hao took Bismarck and several officers who operated the weapon system to board Bismarck's sister ship, the Tirpitz, as he wished.
Standing on the foredeck of the Bismarck, which was no different from the Bismarck, Bismarck, who was standing next to Cheng Hao, was in a complicated mood, stroking the main gun of the same 380mm caliber as himself, and his thoughts were full of thoughts......
The last time I saw Tirpitz was in Götenhaven......
Bismarck's spirit was a little dazed when he recalled that review, it was the first time the two sisters met, and it was strange to say that he had not yet awakened the spirit of the ship, but he could still remember the emaciated backs of the two sisters when they were inspected by the visiting Führer on May 5, and the girl with pale pink hair who yawned all the time leaning on his side......
Thinking of this, Bismarck was suddenly stunned, in his memory, when did a girl with pale pink hair appear?
"Is it an illusion...... Bismarck gently stroked the hull of the ship and sighed, "If you can also awaken the martial spirit, how nice it would be, sister, then we can ......"
Looking at Bismarck, who was in a trance as soon as he got on the boat, Cheng Hao just stood beside her silently, without words, because Cheng Hao understood that Bismarck must have been in love at this time, recalling the picture of meeting his sister......
On March 20, 1941, Tirpitz moved to Götenhafen (present-day Gdynia, Poland) and met Bismarck, who was then his home port.
This was originally the first and last meeting between Tirpitz and his sister in history, and in the early morning of May 19, Bismarck set sail to participate in the "Rhine Exercises" operation. He never returned, and Tirbitz stayed in Norway, using his and his sister's prestige to intimidate the Quartet until he was finally surrounded by planes......
But now that history has changed, who can predict the future development......
Looking at Bismarck in a daze, Cheng Hao sighed, slowly walked in front of Sebastian, and motioned for a few people to move a little farther away.
"Sebastian, can you tell us about the condition of the battleship Tirpitz?" Looking at Cheng Hao's erratic eyes, Sebastian also consciously lowered his voice a lot, "The battleship Tirpitz has a standard displacement of 42,900 tons, a design maximum speed of about 30 knots, and is equipped with 4 twin 380mm main guns, 12 6-seat twin 150mm secondary guns, 16 8-seat twin 105mm secondary guns, and 2 4-mounted 533mm torpedo tubes......"
"It has the same comprehensive protection as its sister ship Bismarck, has the largest protection range among battleships of the same period, has armor accounting for more than 40% of the standard displacement, and currently has a crew of 2,607 ......"
"That's it......" Although Cheng Hao knows these data very well, he still has to ask symbolically in front of Sebastian, "Is the air defense system the same as the Bismarck?" ”
Hearing Cheng Hao's question, Sebastian showed an embarrassed smile and replied with a dry cough: "The main flaw in the design of the Tirpitz is the same as that of the Bismarck, or the lack of anti-aircraft firepower, because we have made slow progress in the development of high-level dual-purpose guns, so we have to install a large number of 6-inch secondary guns and 105mm anti-aircraft guns on the Tirpitz, which takes up a lot of deck space." ”
"The lack of anti-aircraft fire has always been a much-criticized problem among German ships, and Admiral Lütjens has already reported this problem to the above, but until now there has been no good design to solve the ......"
After listening to Sebastian's answer, Cheng Hao sighed, the future war is bound to move towards a three-dimensional and multidimensional war, the era of a single arm alone has gradually passed, and the helplessness of the battleship in the face of a large-scale air attack has also been verified on the battleship Yamato, this battle has proved that it is difficult for the super battleship to protect itself under the enemy's air attack!
And in the vast Atlantic, British aircraft carriers will be the biggest obstacle for German ships to return home, but fortunately, submarines have also joined the fleet...... Thinking of this, Cheng Hao breathed a sigh of relief, he believed that what he experienced in the next few days would definitely fill in the entire naval history of World War II!
Cheng Hao, who had sorted out his thoughts, looked at a large group of young officers around Sebastian and said, "Carl, Frederick, you two bring people to cooperate with the gunners of the Tirpitz and take care of the shelling of the Tirpitz. ”
At present, Bismarck's shelling is controlled by Bismarck himself, and at this distance, even if Bismarck is on the Tirpitz, there is still no problem with the control of the ship's hull, and the loading mechanism used by Bismarck adopts a semi-automatic loading method, so that the dispatch of several gunner rangefinders does not have much impact on Bismarck himself.
"Understood, Captain." Karl and Frederick nodded, saluted and were taken away by an officer on the Tirpitz, at this moment standing on the deck in addition to the first mate Sebastian of the Tirpitz, there were only Cheng Hao and Bismarck, and glanced at Bismarck, who was still in a daze, Cheng Hao smiled awkwardly at Sebastian and said, "I'm sorry, I'm smiling, Bismarck is also the first time to board my sister's hull, I guess I'm a little excited......"
Sebastian hurriedly waved his hand, forced his excitement and whispered to Cheng Hao in a low tone, "Sir, this is a good thing, even if one of the martial spirits of the same level does not awaken, the other side will have a special induction fluctuation, and the probability of awakening will be greatly increased, just like the two sisters Lexington and Saratoga in the United States, although it is difficult to explain this theory clearly, but this is already the experience of various countries." ”
"In other words, you may meet Beizhai in the future?" Sebastian's words stunned Cheng Hao, and he was speechless for a long time, and after a while, he eased up and shook his head and said, "Let's talk about this matter later, Sebastian please gather the officers on the Tirpitz to the conference room first, and I will come over in a while." ”
Saying that, Cheng Hao gestured to Sebastian to Bismarck, who was still in a daze in the distance, Sebastian didn't speak, saluted Cheng Hao and left.
Looking at Sebastian who had already walked away, looking at the Yiren who was still in a daze in the distance, Cheng Hao walked towards it slowly, his hands wrapped around Bismarck's thin waist, the touch of slender and no fat came from the palm of his hand, Cheng Hao probed close to her hair, and a burst of fragrance reached Cheng Hao's nose, stimulating his nerves like a blooming flower.
The sudden itching made Bismarck shudder, and he turned around helplessly, Bismarck complained to Cheng Hao, who suddenly became a little crazy, "Captain......"
