And this time, the bomber units also performed very well. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info"We dropped the bomb almost close to each other's mast heights, but luckily I reacted quickly enough to have crashed into the rangefinder at the top of the Saxony mast!" Do you see the black ash behind my plane, it was smoked from the chimney of the Saxony! Afterwards, one of the pilots bragged to his colleagues in a very exaggerated tone.

Of the nine bombs, three hit, one fell near the chimney, and the red paint directly stained eight chimneys. The second shot landed on turret No. 3, leaving a huge radioactive abstract pattern on it. The third shot hit the side of the ship. While smashing the guardrail, the deck was more than ten meters long.

"Otherwise, let's throw in the towel, the battleship must enter the dock for conduct, so be it, report to His Majesty the Kaiser the results of this exercise! At the same time, telegraph the planes and tell them to retreat. Scheer ordered this time directly over Major General Beckern.

This exercise was a bit more than expected, and the battleship was damaged ....... Well, no one thought that the torpedo would hit the rudder directly, I don't know when I will have to PK with the British in the future, the absence of a Bavarian-class capital ship is a big problem, plus the purpose of the exercise has been achieved, if it were a British ship in actual combat, it would have returned to the sea long ago, so no one objected to Scheer's order.

"Only a little more than half of the planes took part in the battle, and no more than 30 planes in total actually hit 5 torpedoes and 3 bombs, which is enough to destroy a battleship! This is definitely an epoch-making weapon! Ruprecht, you didn't disappoint me! You have proven your talent and wisdom with practical actions! "The Kaiser was overjoyed when he saw the war report! However, a wave of 30 aircraft can sink a battleship in good condition!

"From now on, the armament and funding of the Navy will be directly entrusted to you, Ruprecht will not let me down, except for the salaries of the personnel and the necessary maintenance funds, the rest will be handed over to you! And the planes and pilots you want, I'll give them to you! And then you put their ideas on the plane for me! Yes, that's all. The Kaiser excitedly walked up and down the deck.

"I'm afraid two cruise ships are not enough to convert into aircraft carriers, right? At least three! That's right, that's it, Ruprecht, now you can pick 3 cruise ships and convert them into aircraft carriers, just follow the Wetergesbach! As soon as the Kaiser was excited, he directly added an extra boat quota to the prince.

"Well, it seems that the purpose of this exercise has really been achieved." Not to mention, among the more than 3 dozen fast cruise ships and high-speed ships in Germany, the prince really has a crush on a few ships, but some of them are now in use, so it is inconvenient to requisition.

However, although the prince's goal has been achieved, he still feels that the Kaiser's decision is sometimes a bit hasty. If adding an extra ship is understandable, then the Kaiser's next decision makes the prince feel a little too exaggerated!

"If we convert the Emperor-class cruise ship into an aircraft carrier, will we be able to carry 200 planes? Damn, one of our three Emperor-class cruise ships is in the United States and one is mortgaged to Argentina. There is only one on the mainland, and if we knew this, we should have left them, and I will give you the largest ship of the German Empire, the proudest existence, and then you will forge it into the sharpest sword of the Imperial Navy! ”

"Hold the grass! Are you crazy?! Is your head all straight lines? "If it is the Kaiser who said this, the lord he can't provoke, the prince really wants to give him a craniotomy to see if this guy has a lump of pulp in his brain! Emperor-class cruise ship! Such a large ship can't be made in terms of construction period, cost or cost performance! Anyway, we used to talk about the Navy, have you forgotten what you learned back then?

I can't help but complain wildly in the prince's heart, because this order of the Kaiser is too unreliable! The emperor-class cruise ship is definitely the largest ship in this era, whether it is a military ship or a civilian ship, it is impossible to say compared to this Dongdong! The Bavaria-class battleship is 30,000 tons and has a length of 215 meters. The Fuso-class battleship is 32,000 tons and has a length of more than 220 meters. This is the largest and best of all warships. But what about the comparison with the emperor? That can only be a small thing! In terms of tonnage and body type, it is not a grade at all!

Take the third ship of the Emperor-class cruise ship, the Bismarck, as an example, (yes, you read that right, it was Bismarck, the same name as the German battleship in World War 2!) The length of the hull is 291 meters, the width of the hull is 30.5 meters, the draft is 11 meters, and the displacement is 56551 tons! Equipped with 48 boilers with a maximum output of 66,000 horsepower! The maximum speed is 23.5 knots! If you look at the size, there are no other ships in the same period, and a total of 3 ships of this class were built at that time! This shows how powerful German shipbuilding and industry were at that time!

This ship is really big, and it can even be said that if it is thrown into the 2nd battle, the aircraft carrier of this size is basically the largest. There was no one else before Midway was served! You want to say install a plane? As for the small planes of World War 1, it may not be a problem to install 200 planes. However, the ship is certainly not suitable for conversion into a warship!

Not to mention anything else, in terms of this amount of work, you dismantle most of the superstructure of a 56,000-ton luxury cruise ship, and then press the parts you need, you might as well build a new one in terms of the money, manpower and time spent! This is a bit like the Normandy cruise ship in history, the largest cruise ship in the world during World War II was 80,000 tons, and in terms of tonnage, if this cargo was in service, Shinano could not compare! But the Americans, after calculating the time and economic costs, decisively gave up. The same is true for emperor-class cruise ships. It looks good, it's okay to think about it, don't take it seriously.

The real cruise ship to aircraft carrier is generally reserved design. For example, the Japanese changed the three aircraft carriers, the Great Eagle, the Flying Eagle and the Hayabusa. The Admiralty paid for the design directly according to the standards of the warship, and even the cabins were taken into account the needs of the aircraft carrier in the future, so that it could save money and shorten the construction period. And the speed is relatively fast.

And this plane, the same is true of the Wittelsbach, which was originally an aircraft carrier built in the name of a merchant ship, and it was directly changed to a ...... even before a merchant ship was made for a day. The compatibility with the aircraft carrier is very good in all respects. And among the fast ships of Germany, there are really a few "quasi-reserve aircraft carriers" designed in one way or another. So the prince did not think at all about changing such a big flashy guy into an aircraft carrier ....... This time, the prince had to admire, Wilhelm II's brain hole was really big enough!

"This is not necessary, if it is to be changed to Bismarck, then we estimate that before the end of the war, this aircraft carrier will not be put into service, using the ship's funds and man-hours. We could have changed out two other aircraft carriers. Prince Ruprecht said a little speechlessly.

"Okay, you're an expert, then this matter is left to you, do it well, don't let me down." The Kaiser was slightly stunned at first, and his face was slightly dissatisfied. "Well, you can change three more boats, and add one more if necessary. Well, that's it, if you want the ship to take it away, tell me, no one else needs to take care of it. ”

"Alright, now, let's go and see the warriors who slay dragons with swords!" Naturally, no one denied the Kaiser's proposal, whether it was because of the joy in his heart or for the sake of showmanship, the prince did not mind making His Majesty the Emperor, who had run hundreds of kilometers, happy. The rest of the Kaiser's time was spent "playing and relaxing". And the prince's work has only just begun.

With carrier-based aircraft, with almost the same pilots who have been trained, there is an aircraft carrier that is about to enter service, but this is still a long distance from the prince's aircraft carrier detachment, not to mention the use of it on a large scale, it is a trouble to simply build the warships behind and arrange tactics.
