For a sabotage ship, Bismarck's parameters were far beyond the Navy's original expectations, and the battleship was born in the thirties, when the German Navy never wanted to engage in a line battle with its opponents. Bismarck was an extension of the German-class armored ships, and Hitler was a tool to test the bottom line of Anglo-French tolerance.

According to the original development plan of the German Navy, their ambitions were not as great as they thought. At first, the German Navy was only determined to build a deterrent fleet, and it was the light cruiser-class ships that were fully developed, the only capital ships built, and the German-class armored ships.

At this time, the German Navy's thinking was very clear, the German Navy was no longer able to confront the European naval powers head-on, and the army was forced to put on a collar, and once invaded by sea, Germany would have no power to fight back. In the face of this crisis, the only way out for the German navy was to fight a naval guerrilla war, using submarines and attack ships to disrupt the opponent's sea routes and force the opponent to cease war with Germany.

The parameters of the German-class armored ships can be seen in the wisdom of the German Navy at that time, and they did their best to design a large attack ship capable of completing the German Navy's strategy under the harsh constraints of the Versailles Treaty. At this time, Hitler had not yet taken power, and the Weimar government was cautious, fearing that it would cross the mine, and the German class was already the limit of what the parliamentarians could tolerate at that time.

The Nazis did not act rashly when they came to power, they seemed to be more conservative than in the Weimar era, and instead of immediately building large surface ships, they invested a lot of money and manpower in the construction of the destroyer fleet. Hitler also made overtures to Britain, with whom he instigated the signing of the Anglo-German Naval Agreement. Germany voluntarily reduced the tonnage of its ships, which, in the eyes of the British, was a sign of abandonment of confrontation with the British. The Germans, on their part, were full of sincerity.

As a result, Germany paralyzed Britain for four whole years with this trick, and Hitler was indeed a genius of conspiracy, and this agreement was tantamount to liberalizing the expansion of the German Navy. The most crucial point was that the Germans were able to re-establish their submarine forces from then on, and when the war broke out, they looked back at the treaty, and the British were really raising tigers for their own trouble.

Hitler was so impatient that it was eighteen days after the signing of the treaty. The German Navy laid the first keel of the Admiral-class heavy cruiser of the Hipper class, a sea beast that surpassed ordinary treaty-type cruisers in all parameters, and laid the foundation for the modernization of the German Navy.

Hitler struggled to numb the nerves of the British for a long time afterward. He had been hinting to the British, both publicly and privately, that all of Germany's actions were not directed against the British Empire, but against France (where people were eyeing the table).

The British, who were so obsessed with appeasement, even believed such nonsense. Speaking of which, the Anglobarians have been on guard against the pile of Gallic cute goods on the other side from the bottom of their hearts. It's certainly nice to have a potential free fighter at this point.

Scharnhorst and Gleisenno came into being, and Germany's submarine force began to develop at full speed, and in four years, the world developed from two offshore toys of more than 100 tons to a powerful force composed of 57 submarines, which made the British suffer greatly.

Hitler felt that he had touched the psychological bottom line of the British, and his ambitions began to swell. Hitler was ready to test the British again, and in order to win over the naval faction that had been ambiguous at the time, he approved the ambitious "Z" plan. And the core of this ship-building plan is the battleship Bismarck that Xu Jun is now under his feet.

Arguably. Bismarck was the product of both politics and military affairs, and this background was enough to set her apart. As a symbol and a benchmark for the display of German military technology and Nazi force, Bismarck concentrated the most advanced technology of the German military industry at that time. Hitler wanted to use her to contain the main force of the British Navy, and cooperate with other attack ships and submarines to cut off Britain's sea transportation routes.

The problem is that Bismarck was born with some defects, and the blank of this battleship actually came from the First World War, but it was only the use of the most advanced construction technology and the absorption of a bunch of fashionable designs in the shape that made her look like it surpassed the warships of her time. The warship is new, like all other Krupp products, murderous and delicate and elegant, making you want to wrap her in a cardboard box.

Standing on the wide battle bridge, Xu Jun leaned his back against the fence and looked out towards the top of the mast.

"How did the shooting results, did they meet the operational standards." Xu Jun turned his head sideways and asked Zaft.

"The hit rate was as expected, the shooting on moving targets was satisfactory, and the soldiers trained very hard and they are looking forward to being able to go into action as soon as possible." Zaft replied respectfully.

"The soldiers are worried, they don't have time to go into battle." Raeder was on the sidelines to help him say that he wanted to get the ship into battle as soon as possible, and he preferred to see the battleships of German production on the battlefield rather than the captured British ships.

"Let them not worry, our enemy is not the only one in front of them, the road to the rise of Germany is full of ups and downs, and they will definitely face more powerful and ferocious enemies in the future, and every training done now is to ensure that they can exert stronger strength in future battles.

I was looking forward to the Bismarck, and more than anyone I was looking forward to seeing her tear the enemy to shreds on the battlefield. But it's not yet time, there is still a lot of preparation work to be done, this warship is an important experimental platform for our latest naval technology, she will guide us in the subsequent design and construction of warships, Germany now needs her to continue to endure, endure, complete all the training, until one day she will appear in front of everyone in the most brilliant and dazzling posture. ”

Xu Jun waved his arms, his tone was firm and powerful, and his incendiary words made those naval officers instantly feel full of a sense of mission and their blood boiled.

"Yes, my Führer. Everything is according to your will, and I assure you that the Bismarck will definitely not disappoint your expectations. Zaft and the officers and men of the Navy on the bridge were all standing upright. He nodded to Xu Jun.

"How's that thing going now?" Xu Jun stretched out his hand and pointed to the radar antenna mounted on top of the 15-meter rangefinder on the top of the bridge.

"The use of the improved radar is very good, it is much more advanced than the previous model, and it can already meet the operational needs. Are you going to go to the control room and have a look? Zaft replied.

"Yes, I'm interested." Xu Jun replied happily.

German radar technology was not theoretically as backward as it might have been, as had been proven on the French front, and the Wolzburg radar series and its modifications had already suffered enough for the RAF, and now any crossing of the center line of the Channel would amount to suicide.

The German Navy paid much more attention to radar technology than to the Air Force. The problem is that the technical level has not been raised, and the development ideas of the German Navy radar have somewhat reached a dead end. The technical blockade of the Navy by the Air Force has exacerbated the situation, and the root cause of this is still the power control maniac Herman. Goring.

Goering saw the Navy as the Air Force's primary competitor. Because these two units rely on technology to eat, there is no doubt that they are super gold-swallowing beasts, and both in terms of budget and resources, Goering has intentionally or unintentionally pressed the navy. Goering could not afford to provoke the entrenched officer corps of the Army and Hitler. There is no psychological burden to bully the navy that has no backing.

The Navy's radar technology has previously been at the forefront of all services. In fact, the Air Force started much later than the Navy, but the Air Force had Goering's support behind it, and after a large amount of technical resources were invested, it began to catch up, especially in the later stage, the real thing of the cavity magnetron was obtained from the wreckage of the downed enemy plane, and a large number of advanced airborne radars were developed into it. These technologies could be shared with the Navy, but Goering was not moved at all, and these resources were not enough to equip the Air Force. How is it possible for the Navy to come and share another scoop.

It was not until the end of the war that the German Navy had a radar system that could rival the British and Americans. But the overall performance is still lagging behind the opponent, and there is almost a whole generation of distance between the two, and now that Xu Jun has come to this world, of course, this kind of problem will not happen again, Ge Fatzi has been frustrated at this time, not to mention the Air Force, the entire Third Reich has fallen into the hands of Xu Jun.

Xu Jun relied on his technology to suggest improvements to the Navy's radar contractor, Gemar, and to another contractor, Pinki, to develop two search radars. Xu Jun did not directly take out the shipborne radar drawings of the United States and the United Kingdom, but only took out the technology and ideas of cavity magnetrons and PPI displays, and provided some design sketches of mature technologies.

On the condition that Xu Jun provide these technologies free of charge, the two contractors each selected the best R&D teams to join the Military Equipment and Technology R&D Bureau directly under the High Command, and developed the naval radar Xu Jun wanted under the leadership of Professor Rudolf Kuhnhold, the pioneer of naval radar technology.

Xu Jun wanted to see if the developers of the German Navy's radars would be able to develop their own radar series after obtaining these technologies. As a result, he was pleasantly surprised that several R&D teams quickly came up with satisfactory results. These people do not lack research and development capabilities, only lack some advanced technology and ideas, after getting Xu Jun's help, they quickly found the direction of development, and set up the latest technology that Germany has mastered, developed the latest ship-based sea-to-sea search radar and ship-based air search radar.

The Bismarck installed a new FuMo200 sea search radar, with a wavelength of 10 centimeters, a frequency of 2,800 hertz, and an exploration distance of 40 kilometers, which is basically similar to the performance of the SG radar of the US military in the later period.

What's more, this radar is equipped with the latest PPI display, the full name is the flat position display, which is the familiar circular display screen in the future, a scan line rotates around the axis, which can intuitively show the specific direction and distance of the target. Previously, Germany was still using ordinary oscilloscopes, and the reflected models showed a wave peak on the display, which was both inconvenient and prone to human error.

Inside the bridge on the same deck as the Bismarck's battle armored conning tower are the senior officers' quarters for the officers on duty and the navigating navy, the two front cabins are the second officer and the chief navigator's cabin, and near the rear of the bridge is the first officer's cabin.

Now the first officer's cabin has been changed into a radar command room, and the four radars configured on the whole ship are all directed here except for the original control room, and a nautical chart table and a flat track board are placed in the room, and four radar display screens and corresponding electronic equipment are placed against three walls, and a captain leads a radar squad of 12 people to be responsible for the operation here, and they provide the searched target parameters to the shelling command post and the combat bridge through cables and telephones.
