Chapter 333: Re-Acceleration

In the minds of the German people, the country's military power is roughly divided into five parts, and the army bears the brunt of becoming the well-deserved king, and the former national army and the current national guard sit on the second throne after two key events.

The third is the militia forces of the states and states, although they are not subordinate to each other, and do not obey the dispatch of the central government in normal times, but they can compete with the army in total, and the level of weapons depends on the local government.

The militia in Bavaria, for example, had two fully equipped Type 1920 infantry divisions, with the same quality of equipment as the regular army. And the remote states, with a relatively weak economic foundation, seem to be a little overwhelmed, and the poor ones do not even have a division, only a few reinforced battalions.

The fourth is the Air Force, in Eric's plan, the Air Force will be the main provocate, but the situation has deteriorated because of disagreements within the Air Force. Compared with the Army, the Air Force's R&D programs are numerous and costly, but only a few are being tested, and only two new aircraft are officially in service.

As for the output, it was even more miserable, each of the three air armies could not even get together a brigade, and when fighting Greece, it had to be drawn from the three air armies together to put together a squadron with cumbersome command.

Eric, who wants to change the situation, is thwarted by real problems, and it is unimaginably difficult for a government that is governed by the rule of law and is not a dictatorship to remove an air commander-in-chief, unless it can catch Toth's sore feet.

Even if the Air Force is so unbearable, it is still ahead of the Navy, because the Air Force participated in the German-Italian War and the German-Greek War, and the Navy missed them all.

Naturally, the bottom position can only be reserved for this navy that takes the money every year and does nothing at all.

Raeder rushed to the naval office in Port Kiel and met Blom and Foss, who had arrived from Hamburg, and they did not know the reason for their visit on the phone.

"Hello General Raeder, is there something about summoning us?" Blom asked politely, after all, this is the God of Wealth.

"I'm sorry for the two of you, I really want to discuss it with you today, and I have an idea to ask you two to help." Raeder's tone was very polite, and there was no domineering posture at all, after all, the victory or defeat of the navy was one move in one move.

Then he picked out some of the things that had been discussed at the headquarters and said them all, and the faces of the two Blom were cloudy, and at last they heard that it was only a change in the order of construction, so they didn't think much about it.

But the boss is the boss after all, and he can think for the employer, but he also has to think about himself.

"General Raeder, the simple order of change in your mouth is actually not simple, and some of the gains outweigh the losses." Blom's tone was hard, because he felt that the Navy would not be willing to continue if he said the cost behind it.

"That's why you were invited, so how much does it cost?" Raeder's tone was good, unaffected by Blom's hardness.

"The keel of the aircraft carrier is being manufactured, and it will leave the factory in a few days, and several other parts of the hull are also working at the same time, which cannot be stopped." Blom looked at Raeder, who was noncommittal in his expression, and he knew about the progress.

"If you need to put aside the construction of the aircraft carrier and use these large slipways to build small boats, then the hull materials of the aircraft carrier have to find a place to put them, this is not a cup, just find a place." At this point, Blom stopped the conversation directly.

"We won't talk about these things that cost money for the time being, but will talk about technology and time issues in addition to money." With the assurance of Lütjans, Raeder had already put the expenses out of the way.

Blom's surprised eyes revealed a look of understanding, and combined with recent news reports, he seemed to have guessed something.

"In that case, although technically we are not the designer, it doesn't matter if we invite the designer to preside over the construction." Blom is also very generous, since you are willing to pay, then use it.

"What about timing? Do you think 6 ships in 2 months can do it? Raeder didn't have the confidence to ask.

At the current level of shipbuilding, on average, a civilian ship of more than 2,000 tons is less than half a year and more than a year. Warships still have to increase somewhat, and if they encounter a year when the economic situation is bad, it will be a year or even two years.

And Raeder relied on the convenience of having three shipbuilding gantry cranes at the Blomforth shipyard to launch six ships in two months, and Blom himself had never tried it.

He immediately began to mentally calculate, and Foss, who had already had a tacit understanding on the side, was also cooperating with him in mental arithmetic, and the two of them completed the preliminary calculation in this way without writing.

"If the slipway is only assembled and welded, there is no problem with 2 months, 6 ships, and 3 slipways." Blom's expression was very sure, because this kind of thing would never be a joke and could not afford to do so.

"Are you sure?" Raeder asked with some excitement.

"I'm sure that as long as the hull can leave the factory in time, we will be able to assemble and weld it in two months." Blom replied again with certainty.
