After the groundbreaking ceremony of the Imperial Navy's 'Deutschland-class' aircraft carrier's lead ship, the 'Deutschland', Qin Tian did not leave the German shipyard immediately, but inspected the Imperial Navy's aircraft carrier research institute.

The construction of the 'Deutsch-class' aircraft carrier began, but this did not mean that the German aircraft carrier design stopped. Even if the 'Deutsche class' aircraft carriers are in service, the German Navy will only have ten aircraft carriers, which is far from enough.

"Your Majesty, this is the next class of aircraft carriers of the Imperial Navy, and the full load displacement will exceed thirty-three thousand tons, reaching about thirty-three thousand tons. Capable of carrying more than ninety carrier-based aircraft. The hull structure and defense of the ship will also be greatly strengthened. Air defense, also stronger than previous aircraft carriers. The general in charge of the aircraft carrier research institute introduced to Qin Tian.

Qin Tian nodded with satisfaction, judging from the appearance, this class of aircraft carrier is very similar to the 'Essex-class' aircraft carrier of the US Navy in another time and space. The combat capability in all aspects is also very close. However, devices such as radar and sonar, because they are still being studied, do not appear on aircraft carriers of this class.

However, it is estimated that the construction of this class of aircraft carriers will not begin until three to four years later. At that time, the empire's technology must have been improved again. Those advanced devices can be used completely.

Because now that the war is over, Germany's relations with its opponents are very tense. However, the war cannot be fought for a while. This made the replacement of German military equipment completely unnecessary. In this way, it can ensure that the empire applies various advanced technologies to the military field. At the same time, the financial pressure on the empire was much less.

"Your Majesty, this class of aircraft carriers has not yet been named, please name them." Reinhart? Marshal Scheer said.

Qin Tian thought for a moment, and then said, "This class of aircraft carriers, let's name it 'Constellation Class'!" The first four ships were named 'Aries', 'Taurus', 'Gemini' and 'Cancer'. Subsequent improvements will be made to this class of aircraft carriers, and subsequent models will be built. For example, the second batch of 'Constellation-class' aircraft carriers can add an angled deck to recover landed carrier-based aircraft. In this case, of course, there will be some problems with the navigation of aircraft carriers. However, it can greatly enhance the efficiency of aircraft carriers' take-off and landing carrier-based aircraft, thereby improving combat capabilities. ”

Qin Tian's suggestion made those engineers shine one by one. At present, their thinking is almost still stuck in designing aircraft carriers to be larger in order to carry more carrier-based aircraft, and in this way to improve the combat capability of aircraft carriers. But Qin Tian's suggestion made them see another direction of development, that is, to improve the take-off and landing efficiency of aircraft carriers through other ways. In this way, the combat effectiveness of aircraft carriers will also be greatly improved.

"In addition, when designing new aircraft carriers, we should not forget to introduce more new technologies. In this way, our aircraft carriers will be able to stay ahead of other countries. Qin Tian continued.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Everyone replied.

Reinhardt, Reich Admiralty? Marshal Scheer, with a smile on his face. Qin Tian named the next class of aircraft carriers 'Constellation Class', which means that at least 12 will be built! Although it was divided into three batches, and one batch would be built in three to four years, it would be completed in almost ten years! In that case, it would mean that the number of aircraft carriers in the German Navy would increase to 22. Of course, the first 'Pioneer-class' aircraft carriers to enter service may have already been decommissioned, and even the 'Wilhelm-class' aircraft carriers will be decommissioned and mothballed. However, the strength of the German Navy's aircraft carrier fleet is still the strongest in the world.

Qin Tian also had his considerations in doing this. It's almost 1918. When the 'Deutschland-class' aircraft carriers were put into service, I am afraid it would not be until 1921 or even 1922. The next twelve 'Constellation-class' aircraft carriers, once commissioned, may not be until 1932. At that time, international relations should have been very tense. At that time, the 'Constellation-class' battleships and subsequent aircraft carriers will become the main force of the German Navy in the war. Start building now, and gain more experience from it, which will allow Germany to build more powerful aircraft carriers more quickly after the outbreak of war.

In another time and space, after the outbreak of World War II, the U.S. Navy suffered heavy losses under the sneak attack of the navy of the island nation. In order to regain control of the Pacific, didn't they build the 'Essex-class' aircraft carriers like dumplings? At that time, Germany will definitely further speed up the construction of aircraft carriers. In that way, Germany would be able to win the war in the future.

After returning to Berlin from the German shipyard, Qin Tian inspected the German Heavy Machinery Factory non-stop. Although, this is also Qin Tian's industry. But in the same way, the German Heavy Mechanical Engineering Plant has become a major supplier of armored weapons to the German Army. The tanks and armored vehicles used by the German army in the last world war were almost designed and manufactured at this factory. After the end of the war, the German Heavy Maschinenfabrik similarly began the development of a new tank.

At Qin Tian's request, they began to study medium tanks and heavy tanks, respectively. As for the light tank, albeit fast. But the firepower is weak, the armor is weak, and there is little survivability on the battlefield. So, the Germans simply abandoned light tanks.

Medium tanks, dubbed the 'Leopard', will be known as the 'Leopard 1', 'Leopard 2', 'Leopard 3'...... etc. Heavy tanks are given the title of 'Tiger Style', with 'Tiger 1', 'Tiger 2' and 'Tiger 3'...... to name it. Of course, whether there will be main battle tanks in the future depends on the development of science and technology.

In addition to tanks, armored combat vehicles and armored personnel carriers are also in the direction of development. Qin Tian hoped that before the outbreak of future wars, the German army would be motorized, and a small number of elite troops would be mechanized. At least those armored divisions, all of them should be mechanized. In this way, it will be able to ensure that the German Army will defeat one strong enemy after another on the battlefield in the future.

The Imperial Air Force is also seizing the time to study new fighters, bombers, and ground attack aircraft. In particular, single-wing all-metal fighters, as well as long-range strategic bombers, have become the focus of research.
