"Dear Mr. Livaand, Rear Admiral Valzecha of the Navy and his entourage have arrived at the company's meeting room, and they seem to be in a hurry." A front desk worker hurriedly knocked on Levaand's office and said to his boss.

"Oh, why Major General Walzecha? Why didn't Lieutenant General Lütjans come in person? My God, these people are like a bunch of devastating ghosts. Livaande muttered, and quickly got up and hurried to the parlor without stopping.

Major General Valzecha and his entourage seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and Liva Ander hurriedly beckoned the staff to bring tea and water.

"I'm sorry to be honorable Mr. Livaand, it seems that we are not enjoying your cup of fragrant black tea today, yes, I must convey to you the instructions of General Franz von Hipper, which is very important." Walzecha opened a thick stack of materials and beckoned Livaandre to come and look at it.

"Great, Your Excellency, I will let the expert group carefully interpret this information immediately, and I hope to satisfy you as much as possible, but it will take time, and I think you will be able to understand." Liva Ander was resigned, and did not mention why Ruetjens did not come.

"Listen to Mr. Livaand, almost all the senior admirals have rushed to Berlin for an emergency meeting, and the handover and launching ceremony of the new ship will be the responsibility of all of them, I don't think you will let me make a fool of myself in public, right?" Valzecha spoke straight.

It is said that this new aircraft carrier should receive special attention from the state, but how can a mere major general spread such a big scene? Levaande was a little confused, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in the military's gourd.

Since August 1923, Germany has invested nearly 30 billion marks in the design and research and development of aircraft carriers, which is enough to build 10 army armored divisions. However, on the day of the launch, only one rear admiral was present at the grand ceremony, which more or less made Levaand, who usually likes to talk about pomp, have an indescribable sense of loss, and how can he be embarrassed in the future.

"No one else may be there, but, Mr. Levaand, your personal honour will not be any less, and you can rest assured." Walzecha could see at a glance what Livaande was thinking.

I wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the launch of the new aircraft carrier to show the overall strength of the Bremen Wiesel shipyard, but after careful deployment of the activity plan, it was changed to a small ceremony, which was 108,000 miles away from the scale expected in the early days.

"Oh, I see. Well, Otto Siriakos, who is the director of aircraft carrier manufacturing in the Federal Navy, should come, and he is the head of President Eric's personal order. Livaand, who still didn't give up, asked.

"I'm sorry, I can't answer this question directly, although Otto Siriakos is not an official in the combat sequence right now, his itinerary is also not suitable for disclosure to the outside world. In the future, things like this will be common, and you will gradually get used to it. Siriacos was a little unhappy, which was clearly a disapproval of his rank.

Livaande said no more, silently answering Siriacos about the preparations for the launching ceremony of the aircraft carrier.

In fact, how did Livaande know that Germany was agonizing over the possibility of a massive Japanese invasion of the mansion.

On the morning of the next day, Walzecha arrived at the dock ahead of schedule, and because the publicity was well done, the dock of the shipyard was already crowded. Everyone wants to see what it will be like when the 45,000-ton aircraft carrier is launched.

Following the Hanover, Germany has launched seven aircraft carriers, five of which are under the jurisdiction of the Mediterranean Fleet. Two more remained in the High Seas Fleet as training ships and were based in the port of Kiel and were responsible for patrolling the surrounding sea area.

The new aircraft carrier that is about to be launched is the most satisfactory model of the Navy at the moment, and it is also the Munich class that Eric has cared for and guided many times.

As far as the German Navy is concerned, the new aircraft carrier has good kinetic energy and advanced weapons systems, most notably for its size and construction. The total length of the deck is 270 meters, the width of the deck is 65 meters, and the length of the left beveled deck is 210 meters, which is at an angle of 9.5 degrees to the central axis of the hull. The length of the waterline is 258 meters, the width of the waterline is 33.1 meters, the draft is 9 meters, and the full load displacement is 45,500 tons. 180,000 horsepower, 4 axles, top speed 31 knots.

The Munich-class aircraft carrier is undoubtedly a watershed in the history of German aircraft carrier construction, in addition to its mighty size, its own capabilities are also very powerful. It has a range of 15,000 nautical miles at 15 knots and 4,000 nautical miles at 31 knots. The carrying capacity (piston propeller carrier-based aircraft) is 130 aircraft, and its launch may also shock the world shipbuilding industry.

Tall ships are also built at a good price. The cost of this aircraft carrier alone reached 130 million marks, of which 130 BF109 carrier-based aircraft, fighters, dive bombers, and torpedo planes cost a total of 3.85 million marks. A total of about 9 million marks will be required for additional equipment such as other ammunition and shipboard weapons and defensive weapons.

It is very likely that the Munich-class aircraft carrier will cost 142 million marks when it is delivered to the Navy, and without Eric's support, it will be difficult to get approval from the Ministry of Defense for the huge cost alone.

At present, there are many countries in the world that have aircraft carriers, such as Britain, the United States, France, Italy, Germany, Japan, etc., and all six countries have their own aircraft carriers.

After Germany's aircraft carriers were put into service, they were not tested in actual combat, so the outside world had different opinions and speculations about its various combat capabilities. The mighty and majestic battleships were placed here, and the Germans kept it secretive, and never took the initiative to reveal any mysteries to the outside world.

The aircraft carriers of Britain, the United States, France and other countries are independently developed, designed and manufactured by their own countries, and Japan also has its own intellectual property rights with its own strong industrial base. The only difference is that the Italian aircraft carrier was developed, designed and manufactured with the help of Germany, and the tonnage was also limited to 20,000 tons at the request of the Italian Navy.

The 20,000-ton aircraft carrier is obviously not majestic, but Italy seems to be very satisfied with the status quo, and only asks you to have me, and does not require second to none in terms of equipment performance.

However, Italy, which prides itself on its navy, is not optimistic about aircraft carriers, but on the contrary, it spares no money in building large gunboats. At present, the construction of 40,000-ton warships has started three at the same time. This shows that Italy is not short of money, but that it is not very interested in aircraft carriers, which are offshore flight platforms.

Except for the USSR. Turkey is a major naval power in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea, and like Italy, the sales activities of the German aircraft carrier did not make them very excited, but the supporting DO24 light carrier-based torpedo aircraft entered their minds, and they were ready to buy it to further strengthen their sea and air supremacy in the Black Sea and the eastern Mediterranean.

Germany was too lazy to deal with the insatiable Turkish military, so the purchase of DO24 torpedo machines naturally went aside. After the appearance of the BF109 fighter, Turkey did have the intention to buy, but it was no longer satisfied with buying finished products, but wanted to buy back the intellectual property rights, improve it on its own, and then produce it independently.

Eric did not reject Kemmer's offer, however, the negotiations were eventually halted due to price issues. After all, it's such a hammer deal, and if you don't knock a few dollars into your hands, you will lose a lot.

Sweden, in contrast, was much more generous, and they took the initiative to buy the rights to the DO24 torpedo machine from Germany, and did not bargain too much on the price. Germany and Sweden have always had a lot of cooperation in the military industry, especially with Germany's Rhineland, Mauser and other army military enterprises have many joint research and development projects. Exchanging technology for technology can indeed save a lot of costs and R&D cycles.

Denmark has a strong dependence on Germany, but it wants German products, it is all bought, bought, as long as Germany loosens its mouth, don't say a word, buy it back first. Despite this, Denmark's purchasing power is there, and the purchase volume is small and diverse, and it can be regarded as a relatively small military system.

The launching ceremony of the Munich-class aircraft carrier has just ended, and Berlin has finally come up with a compromise solution on the issue of aiding the mansion.

In order to avoid the sensitivity of the current arms sales, Germany ostensibly does not sell any naval vessels, including submarines and other underwater weapons, to China, but it can use China's money to lease some of its equipment to China. At the same time, all the chartered ships were operated by the original German officers and men, and in wartime, they were under the command of the Chinese military, and the German officers and men completed the combat mission.

For all ships leased by Huaxia, after entering the Indian Ocean, they will be flown with the flag of Huaxia.

Eric did everything he could to facilitate this plan, and the chief adviser, Reichenau, communicated to the Chinese side to try to complete all the leasing procedures before the Japanese invasion took place.
