With the construction of aircraft carriers, relevant training is also carried out simultaneously, and the understanding of aircraft carriers has reached a new height among naval officers.

The biggest difference between an aircraft carrier and an ordinary warship is that it can carry aircraft and go to the ocean, as long as there is enough fuel, the aircraft carrier can reach all the seas around the world that it can go to, and bring powerful air power to that place. The F/A can carry more than 60 BF-10 fighters, which greatly increases the flexibility of maritime operations and the total amount of firepower projection, and plays a key role in sea and air control.

Senior experts at the Blomforth shipyard said that the F200 aircraft carrier is expected to be officially delivered to the Federal Navy by the end of this year, when the German Navy will have an aircraft carrier for the first time in its history.

Next, another German aircraft carrier is also under intense construction, and once it is formed into combat effectiveness, Germany will usher in the era of dual aircraft carriers. If one aircraft carrier enters the shipyard for maintenance, then the German Navy has another aircraft carrier for maritime missions. This change was something that the French Navy, and even the British and American navies, could never have dreamed of.

"With an aircraft carrier, Germany can sail the aircraft carrier directly to Siam in Southeast Asia from its home port, washing away the shame of the humiliation of the envoys." Siriacos said to Marshal Hipper.

"That's a good idea, Mr. Colonel. However, Germany's enemies were definitely not just such a small country, they were too weak to send a frigate at best to solve the problem. By the way, how did Raeder's preparations go, I don't want you to be left at a loss when Mr. President arrives. Hipper reminded.

"Raeder is a workaholic, you know, Marshal. But I would prefer that the annoying cabinet officials don't come to the port with Mr. President, because their constitution is as unlikable as what they say. Ten years ago, I'm sure you will remember that trip, it was terrible. Siriakos was a little disdainful of seeing the cabinet officials.

"You have the right to remain silent, Mr. Colonel. Remember, don't get into trouble with me. Oh, but I don't like those guys either, except for Yamal Shacht. Hipper stroked his gray beard and said to Siriacos with a deliberate glare.

"Because he's your relative?" Siriacos asked in surprise.

"No, no, no, I don't have such relatives." Hipper hastened to deny it.

"Then why do you just like him?" Siriacos deliberately broke the casserole and asked to the end.

"Because he's rich, my colonel, that's good enough." Hippert laughed and said, "Actually, he and Mr. President have the greatest support for the Navy, and that's it." Okay, go to work, my colonel, you're asking too much. ”

Siriacos agreed, and with a squadron in the direction of Bremen, he greeted the president.

At this moment, Eric had already arrived at the approach bridge at the port terminal with some senior cabinet officials, and Siriakos and his party happened to meet the presidential motorcade head-on.

The northwest wind at sea is relatively strong, and the waves hit the cable pillars of the pier, and white water foam flutters with the wind. Hipper, worried about Eric's seasickness, wanted to keep Eric and the civilian officials at all levels at the headquarters, but Eric refused and walked straight to the docks without hesitation.

Walking on the approach bridge of the wharf, you can see a large steel giant ship moored at the fifth pier of Wilhelm Harbour in the distance, like a majestic mountain, more like a city on the sea. Slightly different from other warships, a huge national flag with black stripes on a red background flutters on the towering main mast, which is to show the world the national prestige. Underneath the flag is a naval flag embroidered with blue ocean ripples. Needless to say, this is the German Navy F200 type aircraft carrier No. 48.

"Prepare for war and prepare for ......" came from the loudspeaker, and the captain's clear and decisive command came out. At this time, the smoke from the chimney above the island dances in the wind, giving the harbor a mysterious color.

The sail sailers on the aircraft carrier are busy back and forth, while the professional sailors in various post uniforms are repeating their standard movements.

The legendary BF-10C carrier-based fighter has not yet arrived on the ship, but the helipad on the deck has been demarcated for various exclusive areas for the fighters, including take-off lanes, landing lanes and so on.

The sea breeze was very strong, and Eric very gentlemanly took off his black top hat and pressed it lightly on his right abdomen. This action is both like a salute to the aircraft carrier and as if to prevent the sea breeze from taking away his hat.

In addition to the soldiers, other officials also took off their hats.

"Don't worry, my old marshal, I didn't get seasick on your destroyer ten years ago, did I? Today's wind and waves are not much bigger than that day, not to mention that we are still tens of thousands of tons of steel giant ships today, and the stability is much better. Walk! We got on board. Eric smiled back at Hipper, glancing at the cabinet behind him.

Several of the officials who accompanied the tour had come to Wilhelmshaven many times, and several of the officials who had vomited after boarding the ship were more interested in coming here today. It was from this pier that they boarded the transport boats, then rushed to the 49th sea area and climbed aboard the old destroyer of the imperial era. Although the old destroyer had long since been refurbished and sold to Turkey, many officials still remembered the ship vividly.

Eric looked back at the officers meaningfully, and smiled at them very easily, as an encouragement and a spur, but he did not force them to board the ship.

Brauchitsch did not insist that the brothers be on board. He will never forget the situation at that time, because it was because these people began to turn their stomachs soon after they got on the ship, tired him, the Minister of Defense, half to death, and made his straight military uniform filthy.

At this time, most of the cabinet officials and senior commanders of the army and air force began to follow Eric towards the bridge of waves, towards the F/A aircraft carrier with the board number 01.

Walking on the wave bridge, I feel like I am gradually leaving the ground step by step. Looking up, the aircraft carrier is getting taller and more majestic, and looking down, under your feet is an abyss with white spray.

The officers, who were afraid of seasickness, eventually boarded the carrier, perhaps seeing Eric's encouragement, perhaps Brauchitsch's contempt, and more likely that the huge warship would certainly bring them safety and good fortune.

Immediately after joining the fleet, Eric and Brauchitsch were invited by Franz von Hipper and Admiral Reinhardt Schell to sit in the command room on the top floor of the island. From here, you can overlook the surrounding sea conditions and give instructions to all posts on the ship at the same time.

At 9:30 a.m., the captain of the ship gave a standard and solemn military salute to the President of the Federation, reported on the readiness of the ship for war, and asked for instructions on whether to set sail.

"You can set sail!" Eric gave the order simply and calmly.

"Deploy off the dock! Deploy from the dock, and all departments are in place! The captain held a megaphone in his hand and gave orders loudly to the whole ship.

A piercing alarm bell rang out. Except for the sail and cable department, which cooperated with the shore crew to untie the cables, the other officers and men were all neatly dressed and quickly ran to the deck, and lined up on the deck in a courtesy formation to see off the personnel at the wharf.

A long whistle sounded, and the officers and men in the column saluted the dock in unison.
