At any time, the construction of an aircraft carrier cannot be concealed from other countries. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It is almost impossible to build a huge shed to cover the slipway, and later generations are technologically advanced enough, and only nuclear submarines are built on closed slipways.

Moreover, shipbuilding requires a lot of personnel, and now, the size of German shipyards has long exceeded that of this period in history, so Germany has also recruited a lot of workers, including laborers from China, and those shipwrights recruited from Britain during the economic crisis.

Moreover, even if it is a fully militarized closure here, it can be photographed from a distance.

Since the fact that Germany is building an aircraft carrier cannot be concealed, it is better to generously invite them to come and attend this launching ceremony!

Standing on the dock, Andrew Brown Cunningham, a British naval officer, could not calm down in his heart.

Throughout World War II, a large number of excellent generals were born, and in the navy, the same.

Like, Chester? William? Nimitz, who commanded an entire theater of operations, was so meritorious that his name became the name of the American nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.

Yamamoto Fifty-six, with a unique vision, used a sneak attack to lay the advantage in the early stage of the Pacific War!

And as brave as William Jr.? Frederick? Halsey, calculating like Spruance, etc., the "king of the wolf pack" Carl in the Atlantic? Dönitz.

Among these towering figures, there is one general who is always overlooked, and that is Andrew Cunningham, an admiral of the British Royal Navy nicknamed ABC.

Yamamoto fifty-six cows? In fact, his tactics of sneaking up on Pearl Harbor were inspired by Andrew's example.

At the beginning, as the commander of the Mediterranean Fleet, Andrew attacked Taranto at night, and was the first aircraft carrier to attack a large military port and warships alone, sinking and damaging half of the battleships of the Italian Navy!

Andrew supported the Royal Navy in the Mediterranean sky, and also made many battles of the aging Royal Navy during this period not inferior to or even better than the battles in the Pacific and at the bottom of the Atlantic.

And now, Andrew has not yet served in the Mediterranean Fleet, he is only the captain of the new battleship Rodney. After hearing the news of the launch of the German aircraft carrier, as an officer of the Navy, he was sent to Germany to witness the arrival of this moment.

At this time, his mood was extremely complicated.

At home, everyone is looking at Germany with mixed feelings, watching Germany become strong again, and the original Versailles Treaty was to restrict Germany and let Germany decline forever.

It is a pity that the decline of Germany is not in the interests of Britain, and if France is strong alone, Britain will lose its influence in Europe!

And it was with the connivance of Britain that Germany grew stronger! Now Germany has torn up the Treaty of Versailles and started building warships of tens of thousands of tons!

On the slipway in the distance, there is the German Bismarck, although it is still in the construction stage, you can also see the huge size of this warship, and the Count Zeppelin in front of you also has a displacement of more than 30,000 tons!

The shame of the First World War has made the Germans constantly arm them, and once the Germans are full-fledged, Germany will become the most terrible existence in the whole of Europe!

Andrew guessed correctly, in the next few years, his Mediterranean fleet, and the German naval fleet, fought a hard-fought battle, and his flagship was also destroyed by the FW190 carrier-based aircraft and HS129 attack aircraft that took off from the Count Zeppelin!

And now, with a strange mood, he looks at the strength of the Germans, and not far from him, the Soviets are in a different mood!

Aircraft carrier!

For the Soviet Navy, they also couldn't wait to expect their equipment to be strong, and aircraft carriers became an urgent need!

It's a pity that the USSR ran out of money.

A few years ago, Ciric visited the Soviet Union and signed a series of agreements with the Soviet Union, under which the Soviet Union exported a large amount of mineral resources to Germany in exchange for the construction of warships by Germany for the Soviet Union.

In this case, the USSR Navy received one Dezezinsky-class frigate and one Tashkent-class destroyer, both built at German shipyards, and after these warships were given to the Soviet Navy, they were full of praise for German warships.

Much better quality than what the USSR made itself!

However, taking into account various circumstances, Stalin did not agree to the plan to build subsequent Soviet-class battleships in Germany, and in the end, they only signed an agreement to order 406-mm heavy guns for use on the Soviet-class class, and at the same time asked Germany to hand over the design drawings of the battleships to the Soviet side for study.

The USSR wanted to start construction at home.

This is just! The current steel production in the Soviet Union is simply not enough to support the manufacture of huge battleships of tens of thousands of tons! It's better to order in Germany, or exchange it for ore!

The commander of the Baltic Fleet of the Soviet Navy, Ivan Stepanovich Isakov, who led the team, was quite depressed, and he couldn't wait for the Soviet Navy to have more warships, and cooperation with Germany was the fastest option.

I really don't know what the superiors think!

At the same time, he led the team with more domestic engineers, and apparently, they all wanted to see the structure of the German aircraft carrier, so that after they returned, they could design and finalize it themselves.

This aircraft carrier is still just a shell, not even the ship island has been installed, not even the flight deck has been laid, it is just a shell, you can imagine how urgent the Germans are!

What's the urgency?

This one is free of slipway and ready to be built for the next one!

Urgency, one reason, another, of course, is that Germany does not want to expose its aircraft carrier superstructure so early, especially the flight deck!

This aircraft carrier is the result of the hard work of German naval experts, who comprehensively analyzed the design drawings of the aircraft carrier from the island country and redesigned it according to various data of the British aircraft carrier obtained by spies.

The biggest change, of course, is the reduction of the aspect ratio! This can increase seaworthiness, and in the Atlantic, where there will be strong winds and waves at any time, the warship must have high stability!

At the same time, the hangar is fully enclosed, removing the lower flight deck and leaving only the upper deck, which is the best choice after argumentation, especially with a small ship island on the right side and an oblique flight deck!

The design of this aircraft carrier has surpassed any aircraft carrier of this era, and its combat effectiveness has been greatly improved!

The German Navy, with their aircraft carriers, was full of confidence.

The commander of the German Navy, Erich Raeder, stood in the most conspicuous place and looked at all who arrived.

"Today is the day when our first aircraft carrier, the Count Zeppelin, was launched, and we invite our great head of state to speak to you!"

Then, there was a round of applause.
