Of course, Marshal Raeder will not hate Limer, Raeder is open-minded, he is almost sixty-five years old, retirement is imminent, the future of the German Navy lies in a young man like Xiang Limer, Raeder feels that he is very lucky, the Navy can poach talents like Limer from the army.

After Li Mo and Marshal Raeder met, he immediately rushed to Raeder's ship Gneisenau to meet Marshal Raeder, the exercise is an exercise, but Marshal Raeder must be Li Mo's superior, the minimum etiquette must be understood, although Li Mo is relatively strong in adhering to his own strategic and tactical views, but he is still very tactful in dealing with people.

As soon as Li Mo stepped on the Gneisenau, Marshal Raeder and Dönitz personally came to greet Li Mo:

"Ondet, you're a good boy! Hang me old thing, and tell me the name of your tactic! ”

Li Mo hurriedly ran in front of Marshal Raeder in small steps, and gave a military salute with a "snap":

"Report to the marshal, the tactic I use is called the Mangu on the Sea."

What kind of person is Marshal Raeder, who has been in the army for more than 30 years, and has never seen or heard of anything, as soon as Li Mo finished speaking, Marshal Raeder understood that this tactic was the tactic used by the Mongols when they conquered Europe! The ancient Mongols used bows and arrows to shoot the pursuing or fleeing enemy, while Ondette used airplanes to achieve this effect, and his giant ship cannons were the same as the ancient hoplite knights, and they could only be beaten and could not fight back.

Marshal Raeder smiled, stepped forward affectionately and took Li Mo's hand and said:

"Ondet. You kid has a flexible mind, our navy just needs a young commander like you to inject fresh blood into us, your arrival is a blessing for our navy, and it is a blessing for me Raeder! General Dönitz, your son-in-law is good, and your daughter is quite discerning, right? Cheating can steal a golden beetle son-in-law......"

Marshal Raeder found that he had a big mouth, as if he had missed something, but in fact, Li Mo and Selena's affair was a household name in Germany. But this also made Dönitz blush slightly. Hurriedly spoke:

"Hehe, yes, the little girl has more vision than an old man like me, it's all my old guy's. insisted on clinging to Goering's powerful man. The result is a good marriage. Thank God. ”

All right! Dönitz's words were unassailable and took all the blame off, and that's exactly what happened.

"Ondet. Come, come, let's go in and discuss, the high command has sent a telegram, asking the two of us to discuss the future development direction of the navy. ”

Limer was dragged by Marshal Raeder into the conference room of the Gneisenau, which was still good, with a relatively elaborate decoration, several framed oil paintings on the walls, and a rectangular table in the center of the conference room.

Marshal Raeder invited Li Mo to sit on his left and Dönitz to sit on his right, at this time, Marshal Raeder's orderlies brought a cup of hot coffee to the three of them, as well as some preserved fruits and desserts, it seems that Marshal Raeder is still very thoughtful.

"Ondete, your strategy of developing the navy with aircraft carriers as the core has been recognized by everyone, and the command has also agreed to allocate funds to build the B aircraft carrier as soon as possible, but some people want to be more extreme, and plan to transform the Bismarck-class battleships into aircraft carriers, you must know that the two battleships of the Bismarck-class have been built 95%, just waiting for the installation of weapons and equipment, if they are transformed into aircraft carriers, it will inevitably cause a huge waste of resources, even if the Bismarck-class battleships are transformed into aircraft carriers, does the aircraft carrier formation really need battleships? You must know that our imaginary enemy is Britain, but it is the development model of aircraft carriers and battleships, what is your opinion, the Führer will call separately to ask for your opinion, and your opinion will be the final opinion. ”

From Marshal Raeder's words just now, it has been shown that Marshal Raeder has accepted Li Mo's strategy of vigorously developing aircraft carriers, but Marshal Raeder must have inseparable feelings for the people who came over the era of giant ships and cannons, and the command is also divided into two factions for the development of aircraft carriers, Hitler didn't want to listen to the quarrel between these two factions, and directly handed over the decision to Li Mo, a lieutenant colonel officer, which is Hitler's incomparable trust in Li Mo. At the same time, it is also a responsibility, in case Li Mo's aircraft carrier development strategy fails, then he is a sinner of the German Navy.

"My marshal, I understand what you mean, thank you to the Führer for the trust he has given me, Ondette is deeply honored, entrust me with this glorious mission, then I will be responsible for the future of the German Navy, I will now say my extreme opinion, and then we will discuss in order to achieve the most suitable path for the development of the German Navy."

"Well, that's good."

Limer's seat is also equivalent to telling Marshal Raeder that he will not take Hitler's chicken feathers as an arrow, and the development of the German Navy still needs him Marshal Raeder to participate in the discussion, Marshal Raeder is very satisfied with Limer's attitude and answer, Limer took a sip of coffee lightly, and continued:

"First, the two battleships of the Bismarck class have been built, so we don't need to transform them for the time being, and now our development strategy with the aircraft carrier as the core has not yet formed a complete set of theories like the blitzkrieg, although this exercise illustrates the importance of aircraft carriers, but the specific effect is not necessarily the same as the exercise, so the two battleships of the Bismarck class do not need to be rebuilt.

Second, I propose that warships below the level of heavy cruisers be transformed into regional air defense ships, that is, on both sides of the warships, they should be equipped with cat-ear air defense weapons, just like the semicircular air defense batteries that protrude from the hull of the ship about five meters from Zeppelin, and this kind of transformation is not technically difficult and the cost is relatively small; in the future, our fleet will try its best to avoid a short-range artillery battle with a strong enemy, but will use our aircraft to carry out long-range strikes, and at the same time, our aircraft carrier formation must have enough air defense weapons to destroy all enemy planes that dare to attack from the air. In this way, we can ensure that we are invincible.

Third, because our German resources are very limited, so it is impossible for Germany to use most of its resources to develop the navy, and it has been proved in World War I that even if we go all out to develop the navy, we still cannot defeat the British navy that has been around for hundreds of years. Based on this reality, we can have more aircraft carriers with the least amount of money.

The specific method is to use a merchant ship of more than 20,000 tons to convert into an aircraft carrier, and such an aircraft carrier carrying 20 aircraft is not a problem, and the cost of renovating and purchasing a merchant ship is less than one-tenth of the cost of building a brand new aircraft carrier.
