In the second week, the entire fleet entered the Atlantic Ocean, where the wind and waves were generally one or two meters high, but the full load of the Zeppelin aircraft carrier was more than 33,000 tons, and this wind and wave was not a problem at all for taking off and landing carrier-based aircraft, and only when the waves reached five meters, carrier-based aircraft could not take off.

After a week of training, more than 200 pilots were able to skillfully take off on the aircraft carrier, and of course accidents began to appear, and there were still one or two injured planes, but there were no casualties.

Since the beginning of the third week, all carrier-based aircraft have taken off and landed with bombs, although they have exercise bombs hanging under their wings, Li Mo's request is very special, that is, all JU87 dive bombers only hang a 1,000-kilogram heavy torpedo under the belly, and the bombing methods are divided into dive bomb dropping and ultra-low-altitude horizontal projection. To put it simply, the JU87 dive bomber dive bomb is a torpedo weighing 1,000 kilograms, and what kind of torpedo is it fired horizontally.

The advantages of this are many, the JU87 can dive at a near-vertical angle, and it is difficult for the anti-aircraft fire of the bombed ship to attack it, so that a torpedo penetrates through the top of the deck, even a 50,000-ton battleship will be seriously injured, and the other destroyers will be killed directly. At the same time, it can also be used as a torpedo, which is called a multi-purpose bomb, and at the same time, it is also flexible and maneuverable, dive, and air launch, which can completely make the enemy defenseless.

After these months of study, Li Mo also understands a lot of knowledge about the navy, and of course, Stephen, the deputy captain, is also very helpful to Li Mo. Judging from the training, everything is working very well. The entire aircraft carrier fleet commanded by Li Mo is really the same thing, and the main role of the six destroyers is also anti-submarine. The six submarines assigned to Li Mo are still used by Li Mo for anti-submarine. Because at this time, sonar has not yet been studied, and Krupp is also conducting research in this area, and it is estimated that there will be a year before the results are produced, including radar.

After the third week, Li Mo returned home with the fleet for anti-submarine and air defense training, because the time for a simulated naval battle was approaching, and Li Mo did not want to be laughed at by the entire German people. Li Mo's challenge to Raeder has been reported by Blu-ray, of course, this is Li Mo's own doing. Limer wanted to create a sensational effect, so that those old stubborn Germans understood that the future of the sea will be the era of aircraft carriers, and the era of giant ships and cannons will soon come to an end of history.

On January 8, 1939, more than 100 warships gathered in the entire port of Kiel, including all German capital ships such as the Gneisenau. Of course, these German capital ships gathered were for the exercise, and this exercise was that Limer and Marshal Raeder served as commanders, and Marshal Raeder used most of the German capital ships to deal with Limer's aircraft carrier formation. Marshal Raeder's fleet had pocket battleships, heavy cruisers, light cruisers, destroyers. There are nearly 120 submarines, while Li Mo has six destroyers and six submarines. An aircraft carrier.

The total tonnage is thirty to one, such a huge disparity in strength. In the eyes of most Germans, it was absolutely impossible for Limer to win. Some people have even made bets, and few people are optimistic about Li Mo, even those who support the development of aircraft carriers, under such a huge gap in strength, think that Li Mo has no chance of winning.

The German High Command, for this exercise, also specially produced countless training bombs, this kind of training bombs are the same as live ammunition, but the warhead is filled with ink in plastic, this kind of training bomb is also powerful, but it is not so easy to kill people, so such an exercise is destined to be very dangerous, but such an exercise is also the closest to actual combat.

The commander-in-chief of this exercise was Hitler, and the deputy commander-in-chief was Field Marshal Keitel and the commander-in-chief of the army and air forces, and the exercise headquarters was located in the high command.

The route of this exercise is also very simple, that is, Raeder led the fleet through the English Channel, and then walked around Britain to the right, while Li Mo set off from the North Sea, entered the Atlantic, and sailed around Britain to the left. When did the battle take place? No one knows, it depends on the ability of the commanders on both sides.

Hitler's arrangement made sense, that is, to show his muscles to Britain, and Germany sent out all the main warships to go around Britain, and also carried out military exercises in the Atlantic Ocean close to Britain, which was not an interesting thing, it was simply a naked demonstration to Britain.

In the afternoon of the same day, Raeder set off with the fleet, of course, Li Mo would not lag behind, and set off with the aircraft carrier formation, each of Li Mo's two 10,000-ton supply ships carried twenty aircraft, and with the spare aircraft on the Zeppelin aircraft carrier, Li Mo had almost ninety aircraft to use, while the standard configuration of the Zeppelin aircraft carrier was only forty-two. In this way, even if Li Mo loses sixty aircraft, his aircraft carrier formation still has combat power, of course, Li Mo's aircraft carrier formation will take off at most forty-two at a time, these redundant planes are just to deal with attrition, for air defense, Li Mo can not worry, because Marshal Raeder has no bombers, only a few water reconnaissance aircraft carried by battleships, this reconnaissance aircraft cannot be used for bombing, not to mention that the Zeppelin aircraft carrier now has very perverted anti-aircraft firepower, if you want to break through the Zeppelin aircraft carrier's air defense fire network, With Raeder's few water reconnaissance planes, it is absolutely impossible, so Li Mo will definitely not leave defensive planes for the sake of the fleet's air defense.

The German media overwhelmingly reported that the German Navy had launched large-scale exercises, which of course attracted the attention of other countries, in fact, the most nervous was Britain, which hurriedly dispatched all the main warships of the home fleet to make a defensive posture, but fortunately the current prime minister was Chamberlain, and he did not order the British home fleet to follow the German fleet.

In order to understand the strength of the German Navy, Chamberlain still sent a reconnaissance plane to fly over the German fleet to reconnoitre, in fact, no country can keep these materials secret, and the warship is too big to hide. Germany was not afraid of the reconnaissance of the British, and continued to follow the steps of its own exercises.

Li Mo has entered the North Sea with the aircraft carrier formation, so he let his subordinates continue training, from the North Sea to the back of the United Kingdom, it will take at least two weeks, that is to say, Li Mo's aircraft carrier formation and the Raeder fleet will encounter two weeks later, of course, Li Mo will seize this time to continue training, and the main focus of this training is to pay bombing and air-launched torpedoes.
