Chapter 543: Aircraft Carrier Secret Battle, Hitla's Ambition

"Speed up the progress of Project 211!"

This is an order that Li Weiguo has repeatedly given to the Navy's Ship Administration. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Project 211, not a university rating, but refers to the aircraft carrier project of the Chinese Empire.

I don't know to what extent the aircraft-carrying cruisers (aircraft carriers) of the German Imperial Navy have been refitted, so Li Weiguo did not dare to be careless, he guessed that the German aircraft carrier project may be promoted by the mysterious young man named Hitla, then the enemy in the shadows is equivalent to coming to the forefront, Li Weiguo has experience in dealing with MacArthur, and after the enemy is clear and we are in the dark, it will not be difficult to deal with Hitla.

Originally, in the absence of foreign enemies, the aircraft carrier project of the Chinese Empire could be developed slowly and unhurriedly, but now that the German Imperial Navy has secretly begun to carry out the aircraft-carrying cruiser (aircraft carrier) project, this is different.

Li Weiguo is well aware of the tremendous strategic and tactical significance of aircraft carriers, not to mention that the Chinese Empire currently has the most powerful and largest number of super-dreadnought warships in the world, and if it encounters a few aircraft carriers full of aviation bombs, they will be destroyed in minutes, and the world's first navy may be completely wiped out in the next moment and become the world's penultimate navy.

Therefore, no matter how many aircraft carriers Germany refitted, the Chinese Empire must have a corresponding number of aircraft carriers, and even have an overwhelming advantage in quality, otherwise it will not be enough to ensure the world hegemony of the Chinese Imperial Navy.

The General Administration of Naval Ships converted the Dingyuan fast battleship into an aircraft carrier, and also began a plan to build its own aircraft carrier from beginning to end according to the drawings.

However, considering that the Imperial German Navy was modified on the basis of large warships, ships, transport ships, etc., the speed of modification was obviously much faster than that of the Chinese Imperial Navy's self-built aircraft carriers.

Usually a ship has enough width, you can build a platform directly above the hull, which is enough to take off and land fighters, that is to say, the speed of the German Imperial Navy's modification of aircraft carriers, generally only one is enough for three months, and if multiple ships are modified at the same time, according to the throughput of German shipyards, a maximum of twenty aircraft carriers can be modified every three months.

After all, it takes two or three years to build an aircraft carrier, especially the first aircraft carrier taken from the design drawings, which involves all kinds of problems, and it is possible to change the design while building, so I am afraid that the time will be longer.

As a result, under Li Weiguo's instructions, the other eight Zhenyuan-class battleships under construction were all suspended, and the Chinese Imperial Navy temporarily had no shortage of super-dreadnought-type battleships.

In this way, the Chinese Empire will be able to obtain eight more powerful modified aircraft carriers within half a year to a year.

At the same time, the General Administration of Ships will select a number of retired large warships and large civilian ships that have been attached to the converted aircraft carriers for backup, and if necessary, these civilian ships can be directly converted into aircraft carriers in the event of a bad relationship between China and Germany.

With the powerful industrial strength of the Chinese Empire, there were hundreds of shipyards with the ability to build and refit aircraft carriers (ten times the number of Germany), and thousands of aircraft carriers could be converted in a short time, which was enough to crush the Imperial German Navy.

If a conflict does not break out between the Chinese and German navies in a short time, then the Imperial Chinese Navy will have enough time to complete the construction of real aircraft carriers. In terms of industrial strength and experience in aircraft carrier construction and modification, the Chinese Empire far surpassed the German Empire, so whether it was quality or quantity, Li Weiguo had absolute self-confidence.

Of course, the premise is that Hitra is not too demonic, if he has more and more profound knowledge of aircraft carriers than Li Weiguo, then it must be a different matter.

Fortunately, Li Weiguo had already discovered his new enemy and made timely preparations.

And at the moment, Hitla, who is in Germany, is still complacent. He had no idea that he had been exposed, and that he had provoked a formidable enemy, one that would kill him.

In order to realize his dream as soon as possible, Hitra took every step with a purpose, from "happeningly" appearing in Bismarck's hospital, gaining Bismarck's trust, and getting Bismarck's recommendation, so that he had the opportunity to meet Wilhelm II and ascend from a commoner to heaven.

From the beginning of the frightened, to the success of helping the German Imperial Army to carry out the blitzkrieg, and now he wants to bet on the German Imperial Navy and the future German Imperial Air Force, he put all the treasure on Vice Admiral Tirpitz, if Tirpitz intercepts the British and French combined fleet and fails to let the British and French Navy send 100,000 tons of arms safely to the Tsarist Empire, then Hitratz will be implicated, and even if Tirpitz unfortunately buries the German High Seas Fleet, then Hitella's fate is obvious.

However, Hitra was a gambler by nature and even gambled heavily at multiple tables at the same time.

The German Empire did not have a separate air force, but Hitler knew very well that in the future history he knew, the Royal Air Force of the Imperial Chinese was secretly established as early as 1875, claiming to be an international air tourism company, and it was not until the end of the First World War that the world knew about the secret unit of the Royal Air Force of the Chinese Empire.

Today, the German Empire does not have an air force, and at present, thousands of fighters of the German military are assigned to the command of the army.

Because of his meritorious contribution to the blitzkrieg plan, Hitler was deeply liked by the German Imperial Army, especially General Schriefen, who particularly valued Hitla, and would consult with Hitra and listen to Hitla's advice before every major operation.

Therefore, Hitra proposed that Hermann Ruger be in charge of the air wing, and Schriefen agreed without any hesitation.

Hermann Ruger had already admired Hitla, and when he learned that he had been promoted to commander of the air wing because of him, he immediately fell at Hitla's feet and became a loyal servant of Hitla.

At the same time, Hitler also lobbied Wilhelm II to form an aircraft carrier fleet.

Hitra hated himself very much, if in his own time, the German Empire had even one aircraft carrier, then there would be no more Dunkirk retreat, there would be no more failure of the London Air Battle Sea Lion plan, during the unlimited submarine war, there was an aircraft carrier in the Atlantic, killing the merchant ships of various countries going to Britain as if it were playing, without waiting for the United States to enter the war, it would be able to force Britain to surrender in a few months, completely destroy Britain, and then turn the muzzle of the gun to attack the Soviet Union, I am afraid that the United States will also be happy to see Germany fight the Soviet Union, further delaying the possibility of the United States entering the war, and when the Soviet Union is destroyed, it is not a problem to gather the forces of the whole of Europe and contend with the United States.

It's a pity that Hitra didn't build an aircraft carrier because of the lack of a string in his brain, and now he regrets not building it at the beginning!

Therefore, the first time in his life was to develop the aircraft carrier of the German Empire, but Hitra is not a senior aircraft carrier expert, and he cannot build a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, but the modified aircraft carrier does not have much technical content, and the early development of the aircraft carrier is not too late than the aircraft carrier of the Chinese Empire, and it is not too far left by the Chinese Empire.

Wilhelm II was not very interested in aircraft carriers, but Hitla's performance was obvious to all, so Wilhelm II obediently approved Hitra to preside over the modification of the aircraft carrier, and he didn't ask a word as for what the refit had become.

In fact, although Hitra understands the importance of aircraft carriers in the future, he can't do it overnight.

In this time and space, even the Chinese Empire itself has to slowly grope for the development of aircraft carriers, advancing step by step, and the German Empire is far inferior to the Chinese Empire in this regard, so the modified aircraft carrier is particularly primitive, that is, a wooden flight deck is added to the shedship.

However, there was an even more serious problem for Hitla, that is, the German Junkers could indeed take off from the deck of a modified aircraft carrier, but landing was a problem.

The training of German pilots has always lagged behind the entire West, and the West is even more behind the Chinese Empire, when the Chinese Empire established the Aero Club, the German Empire thought that it was a game that only madmen would play, for flying planes to the sky, the Germans generally had a cold, which caused the general quality of today's German pilots to be low, especially after many air battles, excellent pilots died one by one, and most of the rest were newcomers who had been trained for less than a week. Expecting these newcomers to fly fighter jets to land on top of aircraft carriers, that cliff is teasing!

Once again, Hitra personally went on patrol to watch the pilots' take-off and landing training. The first Junkers-2 fighter landed on the flight deck, but it slowed down too fast, and before it could aim at the landing deck, it directly kissed the aircraft carrier's buttocks, and the plane was destroyed and killed.

The second one was better and landed safely on deck.

The speed of the third plane was too slow, and the pilot was still nervously stepping on the accelerator after landing, but he was blocked and locked, and the whole plane was torn in half.

Although the fourth and fifth aircraft landed safely in the end, they were both hard landings, and the fixed landing gear of both fighters fell to the ground, and the pilot was injured in the leg.

The sixth and last plane, after landing, did not hook up the blocking lock and crashed directly into several fighters parked on the deck next to it, only to be pushed into the sea next to it.

This time for take-off and landing training, two pilots were killed, six fighters took off, as a result of which eight fighters were lost.

This cheating aircraft carrier, don't want to pit Hitla!

If it weren't for someone covering Hitla, I'm afraid that someone else would have been dismissed and investigated and sent to prison a long time ago.

Of course, there were German officers who were jealous of Hitra who complained to Wilhelm II, but Wilhelm II did not care at all.

Of course, there are also officers with a vicious eye, who see that once the aircraft carrier forms combat effectiveness, it will exert incalculable military value, and admires Hitra even more.

Invisibly, Hitler is offending a group of people, but he is supported by more people, his small collective is condensing, expanding, and one day in the future, it may swell to the point that no one dares to look directly, but can only look up.

The matter of Hitla's aircraft carrier fleet is not without controversy within the German military, but it is relatively sensitive at the moment, and everyone knows that the German High Seas Fleet has gone on an expedition, and whether it can complete the mission is related to the future of Hitla. If the German High Seas Fleet wins, then Hitler will rise to prominence, his position will be more secure, and he will be more valued by Wilhelm II, and whoever dares to stand up and accuse Hitler at this time will definitely regret it. On the other hand, if the High Seas Fleet fails, then Hitra will be killed with a rod, so it is logical to stand up and blame Hitla.

Everyone was careful, and Hitra knew it, but he was confident, for he had talked secretly all night before Tirpitz left.

Hitra mentions a number of issues that Tirpitz needs to be aware of, one of the most important natural factors being the polar day and night phenomena in the Barents Sea.

In Hitla's memory, the biggest mistake of the German High Seas Fleet was that it encountered the polar night period, although the British and French combined fleets were strong, but in the face of the German High Seas Fleet, they could not completely protect the entire transport fleet, those large transport ships were very slow, and the German High Seas Fleet only needed to send high-speed frigates or fish and radium boats to raid at any cost, or even suicide attacks, to destroy those transport ships to complete the task.

It is a pity that the British and French combined fleet deliberately delayed time, covering the transport fleet to enter the polar night sea area of the Barents Sea in advance, and it was dark 24 hours a day.

That battle cut off the main force of the German High Seas Fleet, causing the German Empire to be unable to attack the British Empire after destroying France, and was finally taken advantage of by the Chinese Empire.

This time, Hitler deliberately postponed the blitzkrieg, so that the time for the combined Anglo-French fleet to escort the arms to Tsarist Russia in a desperate attempt to escort them to Tsarist Russia was also delayed, from February to May, so that the polar night time in the Barents Sea was small, and it was replaced by the polar day time.

That is to say, it is daylight twenty-four hours a day, and if the British Combined Fleet is hiding, it will be discovered by the German High Seas Fleet, and the main general will be replaced by Tirpitz, who is known for his treachery and boldness, then the chances of success will be greatly increased several times.

This is Hitra's confidence, he is still so confident!

Just as Hitra was looking forward to it, German submarines spotted the Anglo-French combined fleet in the Barents Sea.

Tirpitz did not sleep all night in excitement and immediately led the main forces of the High Seas Fleet to pursue.

Due to the slow speed of the transport ships, the Anglo-French combined fleet was not fast either, and within a few days it was overtaken by the German Imperial High Seas Fleet.

A major war between the navies of Britain, France and Germany was on the verge of breaking out. (To be continued.) )
