Chapter 261: Gluttony FW190
"Woo, woo!" With the sound of the whistle, the huge aircraft carrier Zeppelin slowly started!
The chimney was cleverly designed to the rear of the bridge so as not to obstruct any view, and at this time, on the bridge, the crowd was in high spirits. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Hitler was very excited, since the last time Ciric told Hitler with a living example that the survivability of battleships under dive bombing is very low, Hitler was very interested in dive bombers, and the Navy had aircraft carriers, and it was under these circumstances that it was approved.
Now that the aircraft carrier has set sail, Hitler feels the stability of this sea giant and is very proud.
"By the way, why didn't you see the carrier-based aircraft?" Hitler suddenly remembered something.
Hearing Hitler's question, the captain of the ship, Captain Colonel Hans-Langsdorf, immediately replied: "The carrier-based aircraft on our aircraft carrier are not carried when they go to sea, but on land, and when we sail to the sea, the carrier-based aircraft will fly over, land on the aircraft carrier, and join us." ”
In later generations, Lonsdorf became famous, and he was a true soldier of the Empire.
The German Navy was not strong, and Lonsdorf commanded the pocket battleship Admiral Graf Spee, who was active in the Indian and Atlantic Oceans, attacking British merchant ships.
Within a few months, his warships sank nine enemy merchant ships, but did not kill any of the enemy merchant ships' crews.
The British sent 3 cruisers "Ajjax", "Achilles" and "Exeter" to track down the "Admiral Graf-Spee" for several months.
In the waters off Montevideo in the South Atlantic, the two sides encountered, and although they were one against three, Lonsdorf became more and more courageous.
Heavily damaged the cruiser "Exeter", the battle continued until late at night, and the "Admiral Graf-Spee" suffered heavy losses. In order to repair the battleship, Langsdorf commanded the battleship to sail to the port of Montevideo in neutral Uruguay. As a result, only German battleships were allowed to stay here for 72 hours. It is impossible to repair the warship.
As captain, Lonsdorf transferred most of his sailors to the German merchant ship Tacoma, which was also in the port of Montevideo, and he sailed out with the other 40 crew members of the pocket battleship Admiral Graf-Spee.
After leaving the territorial waters of Uruguay for 3 nautical miles, they dropped anchor and the crew moved to lifeboats, after which they blew up the "Admiral Graf-Spee".
And Colonel Langesdorff, having done all this, pulled out his pistol, committed suicide, and he went after his battleship.
Although the German Ministry of Defense criticized Langsdorf's actions at the time, he and his battleship won respect, including his opponents.
This is the true soldier of the Empire!
So, at the prompting of Ciric, Ronsdorf was eventually selected from among the many naval officers to become the captain of the aircraft carrier.
In fact, in the experience of later generations, it is best to select aircraft carrier captains from among carrier-based aircraft pilots, but Germany's aircraft carriers have only just begun, and they do not have such a rich technical reserve, so they can only be selected from existing personnel.
And Langsdorf became the captain of the aircraft carrier, he was even more conscientious, he was not only familiar with the entire aircraft carrier, familiar with all the operational essentials, but also completed the take-off and landing course of carrier-based aircraft, he is the best naval officer!
Now, when it comes to the operation of aircraft carriers, Lonsdorf is extremely familiar.
It is impossible for the planes on the aircraft carrier to be hoisted by elevator on the shore, they all land on their own!
"Those two-winged He51 aircraft, are the Navy still proficient in operation?" Goering asked in a strange voice.
At the beginning, the Navy wanted the BF109 fighter, but Goering did not agree, and then, for various reasons, he finally gave a part of the He51, anyway, those rags were not needed by the Air Force, and those in Spain were directly left in Spain.
The Navy has been training He51, these Goering are clear, he would like to ridicule a few words, what is the use of such an aircraft carrier?
Langsdorf did not answer his words, he turned to Hitler and said: "Führer, please look behind, our naval aviation, about to land. ”
The bridge has a wide field of vision, and you can clearly see the situation around you, and now, you can see in the rear, a formation of planes, flying towards this side!
Goering's eyes widened, and his chest was heaving rapidly, indicating that he was in a little agitated at this time.
Those planes, not biplanes at all!
Those are all monoplanes, very similar to our own BF109, with a single-wing layout, but you can see the shape of the cockpit, which is the latest bubble cockpit! The pilot inside, as if riding on a fighter plane, not only has a good forward and downward perspective, but also has a very good rear view!
This alone will win the love of the pilots! If you can turn your head and see the enemy planes chasing you behind, that's of course the best!
"These are the FW190 fighters that were completely invested and developed by our navy itself." Navy Commander Raeder proudly said: "Our naval aircraft is more than the BF109 in all aspects of technical data, for example, it is equipped with a 1800 horsepower engine, excellent maneuverability, he uses the Mauser MG 151/20 20 mm gun, fierce firepower, and at the same time, as a professional carrier-based aircraft of the Navy, it has a maximum range of more than 2000 kilometers." ”
This is, of course, showing off, at the beginning, the Air Force did not let the Navy use the BF109 fighter, which was a humiliation to all Navy personnel, and now, the Navy has developed the latest fighter, which is much more advanced than the Air Force's fighters!
The current DB601 has just crossed the threshold of 1300 horsepower, although Mercedes-Benz is still working hard, but it was not until the latest modification of the DB605 engine in later generations that it was expanded to 1800 horsepower, which was already at the end of World War II.
And now, BMW's engine has a strong power of 1800 horsepower in the early stage, which is the same engine as the large passenger aircraft of the Xiusi company, which is supported by a lot of materials from the United States, and has become a most advanced aviation power!
The engine alone is enough to be envied, and as a veteran flyer, Goering certainly knows that the most important thing for an aircraft is the engine!
And this kind of aircraft, not only the engine is advanced, the others are good, in terms of maximum range, it is a few streets away from the Air Force fighters, with a range of more than 2,000 kilometers!
Goering was immediately greedy.
