In the blink of an eye, in December, the Zeppelin aircraft carrier was all built, according to the plan will be held on December 8 launching ceremony, Hitler will personally come to preside over the Zeppelin launching ceremony, after all, Zeppelin is Germany's first aircraft carrier, his birth, marking the birth of a new era of the German Navy, but to make the German Navy from the sea war of large-caliber artillery, to the era of aircraft carriers It is definitely an extremely difficult thing.

For the launch of Zeppelin, Li Mo also made a lot of preparations, preparing the lecture stage, the viewing platform or something, and the soldiers' queue drills were also pre-arranged several times, according to the effect of the rehearsal, it was still very good.

On December 8th, Hitler brought the commander-in-chief of the three armies and other executives to the Kiel shipyard, since Hitler after the last assassination, began to pay attention to his own security, because of Heydrich's death, Himmler completely controlled the Gestapo, although this person is not a good person, but Himmler is not as brutal as Heydrich, and his means of acting are much more modest, as for the investigation of Heydrich's case, there has been no progress so far, and this matter has to be closed. Hitler also seemed to have forgotten and did not blame Himmler.

Li Mo accompanied Hitler throughout the whole process, and when Li Mo accompanied Hitler to the viewing platform, he saw the forest of anti-aircraft gun barrels on both sides of Zeppelin's hull, and asked very excitedly:

"Ondet, this is Zeppelin you made, where is this aircraft carrier! It's a pure hedgehog! I've seen Zeppelin's original drawings, and you canceled the 150mm twin-mounted 8-seat naval gun, tell me what the reason is, and I know that your kid has a lot of ideas. ”

At this time, on each side of Zeppelin's ship, there were three 105-mm twin-mounted anti-aircraft guns, 11 37-mm twin-mounted anti-aircraft guns, and 28 20-mm machine guns. There are 16 105 twin-mounted anti-aircraft guns in the front and rear of the bridge, and the anti-aircraft guns of the entire Zeppelin aircraft carrier can be called the largest in the world, with a total of 44 105-mm anti-aircraft guns, 44 37-mm anti-aircraft guns, and 56 20-mm machine guns. As far as the eye can see, the entire Zeppelin aircraft carrier is still empty except for the flight deck, and the rest of the place is full of dense anti-aircraft guns.

"My Führer, after a simulated naval battle, we found that the threat of aircraft carriers mainly comes from the air and the bottom of the sea, and it is impossible for aircraft carriers to fight bayonets with the enemy at sea, and it is a waste of resources and space to equip aircraft carriers with 150 naval guns, so I canceled 150 naval guns and replaced them with 105 anti-aircraft guns. This is to deal with the enemy from the air, for the enemy's submarine, the anti-aircraft guns on both sides of our ship will also have an effect, the Führer, you have not, we stretch out the semi-circular anti-aircraft batteries on both sides of the hull are not horizontal, but inclined outward 15 degrees, so that our anti-aircraft guns can shoot at the sea surface at minus 30 degrees, and the torpedoes fired by the enemy's submarines will also be destroyed by such dense firepower. ”

Hitler was also a man of firepower, and liked Limer's changes very much, and Hitler began to speak, but he said to Raeder Dönitz and others:

"Look at these guns, this is the warship that our Germany should have, and isn't our Bismarck battleship almost ready? Also give me a modification like Zeppelin, arrange this cat-eared anti-aircraft guns on both sides of the ship, and I want the British planes and submarines to do nothing against our Bismarck battleship, well, that's it, immediately modify the design. ”

"Ah!!h

Marshal Raeder was amazed, "Ah! "Oh, the aircraft carrier does not need to engage in an artillery battle with the enemy's battleship, it only needs to deal with the enemy's air raids and submarines, of course, there is no problem with more anti-aircraft guns, but this battleship is bombarded at sea, it is more than ten kilometers apart, what effect can such anti-aircraft guns have, even the range is not enough! But what kind of person is Hitler, what he decides, what he says, that is the decree, that is the law, and others must carry it out, otherwise they will bear the consequences,

"What's the problem? Marshal Raeder. ”

"No, my Führer, I will inform the design department to carry it out according to the Führer's will."

In fact, it was not Hitler's whim, the battleship of Bismarck has attracted much attention since the construction of the 36th Company, the construction of Bismarck marked Germany's complete breakthrough of the Treaty of Versailles, the Germans gave the battleship Bismarck an alias "unsinkable battleship", Hitler did not want the battleship to be bombed by the enemy and attacked with torpedoes, just bombarded with artillery, the battleship was not afraid of any battleship in the world.

Hitler was satisfied with Raeder's answer, and turned to Limer:

"O Ondet! Do you think our navy can fight the most powerful British fleet in the world? ”

This question is not easy to answer, Britain has been hundreds of years of naval development history, from the Age of Discovery, his total naval tonnage is also more than ten times that of Germany, if Germany chooses to fight with Britain for naval consumption, then Germany is doomed to the end, the only thing that the German Navy can save itself is to find another way, in the development of the Navy out of epoch-making steps, that is, from the era of warships and artillery to the era of aircraft carriers, the question is whether Germany will? Will those old stubborns of the Navy be? This is what Li Mo can't grasp.

"My Führer, we Germany have no experience in using aircraft carriers, everything has to be explored from scratch, after our countless simulations and the British fleet decisive battle, we found that with our existing naval giants, it is not the opponent of the British giant ships at all, after all, the British navy was developed from the Age of Discovery, and our Germany because of the lack of resources, it is impossible to develop the navy like the British, we can't fight the British no matter what, so I think we might as well reallocate the limited resources, Full efforts to develop aircraft carriers and submarines.

Even if we have the Bismarck battleship, but we can only build one in four years, and the other one has just begun to lay the keel, and Britain already has more than thirty battleships, we only have two battleships, can we win so many British battleships? The answer, of course, is no, in addition, the British can build ships faster than ours, the great Führer, the omnipotent Führer, the only way for the German Navy to defeat the British Navy is to get out of the epoch-making strategy and tactics.

Our army invented blitzkrieg, but what about the navy? My invention is the aircraft carrier blitzkrieg, all strategies and tactics are completely carried out with aircraft carriers as the core, and our carrier-based aircraft will be like lightning, piercing the British fleet air defense network and sending all their giant ship cannons to the bottom of the sea. ”
