After a long period of preparation, the carrier-based aircraft of the Count Zeppelin finally returned to their home ground again, and flew densely towards the Oldenburg.

At the same time, in the captain's room of the battleship Oldenburg, Bastian was holding a telescope and nervously looking at the Count Zeppelin in the distance and the small black dots in the sky that were densely approaching him.

"Well, after all, they still couldn't kill the Count Zeppelin before they launched a second wave of attacks." Bastian put down the telescope in his hand, shook his head with a wry smile, and said.

"Captain, we've done our best." His lieutenant comforted, "This only shows that the aircraft carrier is really too powerful." ”

"yes, aircraft carriers are really amazing." Bastian said, "The Führer is too powerful, and the proposal to develop aircraft carriers was put forward by the Führer." ”

"The Führer is like a prophet." The adjutant said adoringly.

"Alright, sound the air defense siren and let the main guns fire freely." Bastian ordered to the adjutant.

"Understood." The adjutant saluted, then pressed the switch of the air raid siren next to the sound.

A second time the shrill sirens sounded throughout the ship, and the soldiers in the anti-aircraft positions once again stuffed their shells into the chambers of their guns, and then silently waited for the final battle to come.

More than a minute later, the dense fleet of planes once again came to the sky above the Oldenburg.

It was still the same as before, first the dive bombers dived and dropped bombs, destroying the already small number of anti-aircraft guns on the Oldenburg, and then the torpedo attack planes swaggered close to the Oldenburg, which had lost the means of returning fire, and dropped powerful aviation torpedoes.

"The Oldenburg is sunk, the exercise is over, the red side wins!"

"Alas, it's over." The adjutant shook his head and sighed, "Originally, I thought it would be an easy vacation opportunity, but I didn't expect it to be cleaned up in three or two clicks." ”

"Hehe, it's good to be cleaned up, at least I know the power of the aircraft carrier, and I won't dare to look down on the group of young men who flew the plane in the future." The captain laughed, "Salute the Count Zeppelin, and go back to port." ”

Unlike the dejected Oldenburg, on the other side of the Count Zeppelin, the officers and men of the ship were cheering for victory.

"Let's go back, it's time for vacation." Raeder grinned happily and smiled at the helmsman.

"Understood, turn back to the port of Kiel!" The helmsman's mouth was bigger than Raeder's.

"Dönitz, what are your plans for this vacation?" Raeder asked Dönitz as he watched the ship turn.

"Me? I'm going to take advantage of my vacation to discuss with my men how to sink the aircraft carrier. Dönitz joked.

"Hahaha, then you're going to have to break your head." Raeder laughed a few times, then said, "By the way, what kind of wolf pack tactic did you talk about last time, how is it perfected?" ”

"It's almost perfect." Dönitz said with a smile, "I think if there is another big war, I can definitely use this tactic to surprise the British with my submarine force." ”

Just when the two were chatting about vacation, the atmosphere in the exercise command room on the other side was not so relaxed.

Most of the people who visited the exercise were naval ship designers, who were nervously discussing the problems exposed by the exercise.

"In my opinion, there are two main reasons why the red side can win this time, one is that the naval aviation is really powerful, and the other is that the air defense of the blue side ships is too weak." A said solemnly.

"Yes, I agree, the air defense of the Helgolan-class battleships is simply too weak." B nodded and said, "If the blue warship this time is our new Admiral Scheer, it may not be the result. I think everyone knows the anti-aircraft firepower of the Admiral Scheer class, the combination of 30 twin 20mm Erlikon anti-aircraft guns + 20 quadruple 40mm anti-aircraft guns + 10 twin 128mm high-level dual-purpose guns, I think no flying formation can break through such a dense firepower network, right? ”

"We know the air defense of the Admiral-class battleships, but don't ignore another issue in this exercise." C said, "Don't you realize that Blue is losing in speed?" If the blue battleship can reach a speed of 30 knots, will the red side have a chance to fly a second wave? ”

"You're right!" A said excitedly, "This is still a situation where the Count Zeppelin can't run, if the Count Zeppelin runs in this exercise, the blue side won't even have a chance to see the Count Zeppelin!" ”

"So, if the blue side is an Admiral-class battleship this time, it will still lose?" Ding said hesitantly.

"I'm afraid so." B replied embarrassedly, "Even if you don't lose, at most you can rely on terrifying anti-aircraft fire to tie with the Count Zeppelin, after all, the speed of the Admiral Scheer class is only 24 knots, which is 4 knots slower than the Count Zeppelin......"

"So, there are still a lot of problems with the warships of our Navy." Rubbing his chin, he said, "Our new generation of battleships must be fast. ”

"It's not just battleships that need to have high speeds, but aircraft carriers also need to increase their speed." A said, "This will make it impossible for the warship on the other side to catch up." ”

"We still have work to do!" A said seriously.

"By the way, what's going on with the British aircraft carrier?" B remembered his old rival.

"They? They have more aircraft carriers than us, but none of them are better than our Count Zeppelin! C, who has been following the development of the British Navy, said proudly, "They now have three aircraft carriers, namely the White-Eyed Giant, the Fury and the Athletic, but unfortunately the combined capacity of these three aircraft carriers is only a pitiful 76, and our Count Zeppelin has 72!" ”

"Haha, poor British, they made the aircraft carrier first, but now it has been overtaken by us." Wu laughed and said, "I didn't expect the British navy to be surpassed by us one day!" ”

"But the two Valiant-class aircraft carriers they're building are pretty powerful, and they're as big as our Count Zeppelin." C said, "If the intelligence is correct, they should be in service soon." ”

"Well, that's a problem." A nodded, "So we should report to the Führer and suggest that the construction of a second Count Zeppelin-class aircraft carrier start immediately." ”

"No, I don't plan to build another Count Zeppelin-class aircraft carrier." A familiar voice came from behind the hotly discussed ship design team, it was Leon, "I'm going to ask you to redesign a type of aircraft carrier, although the Count Zeppelin is very strong, there are still a lot of problems after all." ”

"Long live the Führer!" When everyone saw that it was Leon, they quickly stood up and raised their hands to salute the standard German salute.

Leon waved his hand for everyone to sit down again, and then continued, "I'll arrange for Raeder to come and talk to you tomorrow about the specific areas that need to be improved. Also, try to get into service before 1929. ”

"Why before 1929?" A asked, confused.

Leon smiled and didn't answer.

Because, it was a special year, he thought to himself.
