The German shipyard, a huge battleship like a hill, is slowly sliding towards the dock. This is the aircraft carrier that has already completed the construction of the main body, and the next step will be to start outfitting.

Compared to the 12 'Constellation-class' aircraft carriers that have already been built, one aircraft carrier looks much larger and larger. An aircraft carrier is the lead ship of the successor model of the 'Constellation-class' aircraft carrier.

A bottle of champagne smashed into the bow of this aircraft carrier. The bottle shattered and the liquor spilled. The thick fragrance also wafted out. The cheers of German naval officers and shipyard workers rang out all around.

Next, Emperor Qin Tian delivered an enthusiastic speech. As the international situation became more and more complicated and war seemed to be about to break out, the launch of another new type of aircraft carrier of the German Navy would undoubtedly play a great role in encouraging the morale of the Imperial Navy. After all, the new aircraft carriers of the Imperial Navy looked more powerful than the previous ones.

"How long will it take for this aircraft carrier to be able to enter service?" Qin Tian asked.

"Your Majesty, it is expected that you will be able to enter service by the middle of next year. The carrier-based aircraft unit of the aircraft carrier has already completed its training and is waiting to be run in on board. In this way, it is expected that by the end of next year, it will be able to form combat effectiveness. Said the Minister of the Navy, Field Marshal Raeder.

Qin Tian nodded, this speed is still very fast. Now the German Navy already has twenty aircraft carriers, of which 12 are the main ones of the 'Constellation' class. The four 'Deutsche class' aircraft carriers and the four 'Wilhelm class' aircraft carriers are slightly worse in performance. However, the performance of these aircraft carriers of the German Navy can still be regarded as the most advanced aircraft carriers in the world.

"When will this class of aircraft carriers, the others of the first batch, be able to enter service?" Qin Tian asked.

In view of the fact that the pace of war is getting closer and closer, Qin Tian asked the navy to speed up the construction of aircraft carriers. In this way, there is no doubt that the German Navy will have a stronger strength after the outbreak of war.

"Your Majesty, the other three ships will also be able to serve next year at the latest. However, if you want to fully form combat effectiveness, I am afraid that you will have to wait until the next year. Starting from the end of next year, the construction of the second batch of four aircraft carriers will also begin. Strive to have those four aircraft carriers in service before the outbreak of war, and at the latest in the early days of war. Marshal Raeder said.

This class of aircraft carriers is officially named the 'Main God Class' aircraft carrier, named after the twelve main gods in myths and legends. The lead ship 'Zeus', and the other three ships of the first batch were named 'Hera', 'Demeter' and 'Hestia'. The four ships of the second batch were named 'Poseidon', 'Athena', 'Apollo' and 'Aphrodite'. The last four ships were named 'Ares', 'Hephaestus', 'Hermes' and 'Dionysus'.

The 'main god-class' aircraft carrier, with a full load displacement of 40,000 tons and a maximum speed of 30 knots, is capable of carrying 108 combat aircraft, in addition to 12 spare aircraft. At the same time, next to the main deck of the 'Main God-class' aircraft carrier, there is also an 11-degree inclined deck, which is specially used to recover aircraft. This one shot has already been used on four aircraft carriers of the last batch of the upper class 'Constellation-class' aircraft carriers. Now, the technology is more mature. In this way, the take-off and landing of fighters can pass through different decks, which can greatly improve the efficiency of carrier-based aircraft take-off and landing, thereby further enhancing the combat strength of aircraft carriers.

At the same time, the defense of the 'Main God-class' aircraft carrier has also been greatly improved. Not only did the rigidly armored flight deck be used, but the watertight compartment was also more reasonable. Lightning protection and anti-sinking, both with the most advanced design. Coupled with the perfect anti-aircraft fire network, the defense of the 'Main God-class' aircraft carrier has been greatly improved, and the possibility of being sunk by the enemy is also lower.

This, of course, refers to a reduced probability of being sunk by the enemy's carrier-based aircraft. However, in the event of an encounter with the enemy's capital ship. Well, the defense of aircraft carriers is still vulnerable under the main guns of the enemy's capital ships.

Qin Tian is still very satisfied with the performance of the 'Main God Class' aircraft carrier, which has improved a lot compared to the 'Constellation-class' aircraft carrier. It is also more powerful than the 'Essex-class' aircraft carriers being built by the US Navy. The U.S. Navy's 'Essex-class' aircraft carriers are a little worse than the early models of the German Navy's 'Constellation-class' aircraft carriers, let alone the more powerful 'Main God-class' aircraft carriers. It can be said that the strength of the two sides is not at the same level at all.

Of course, as more and more aircraft carriers are built and put into service by the US Navy, they will also pose a considerable threat to the German Navy. This forced the German Navy to speed up the construction of aircraft carriers. Fortunately, Germany is much stronger than the United States now, both in terms of shipbuilding strength and finance. Therefore, even in the competition for armament development, Germany is not afraid of the United States at all. Even, they can hold each other down steadily.

"The four ships of the first batch of 'Lord God-class' aircraft carriers will probably be able to serve before the outbreak of war. The second batch is hard to say. However, when the next war breaks out, our first target is Brazzaville. As long as the Americans do not declare war on us first, the navy is basically useless. Only in the event of a war with the United States and Great Britain, as well as with the island nations, aircraft carriers will come in handy. Qin Tian said.

After consulting with the military and political ministers of the empire, Qin Tian had already decided to make Bu Russia the first target of the empire in the next war. After defeating the Russian Federation, the empire was able to calmly deal with the United States and other countries.

Marshal Raeder nodded: "Your Majesty, when the Imperial Army and Air Force are fully engaged in dealing with Bu Russia, the Imperial Navy will ensure the safety of the Empire." ”

Qin Tian still believed in the strength of the navy. With a strong navy, Germany was able to have an advantage in both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. In this way, Germany's interests in the Atlantic and Pacific can be safeguarded.

As long as it had a vast colony in hand, Germany was not afraid to fight with those enemies. Even if it is directly consumed with industrial strength and resources, it can consume those enemies. Win the final victory.
