The full name became very long Rudolph (he is now called Rudolph. Feng. Yusupov-Heinsberg-Hersmann) has now spent a sweet but short honeymoon and has been ordered to fly to the Norwegian naval port of Bergen to Helmut, who has just been transferred to the command of the 2nd Fleet. Admiral Heyer reports. Pen %Fun %Cabinet www.biquge.info he was at this time in the flagship of the 20th Task Force "Adolf. Hitler" aircraft carrier.

"Adolf. The aircraft carrier USS Hitler was the largest aircraft carrier Rudolph had ever seen in his life, larger than the Yamato-class battleships he had seen in the Pacific. The length of the ship is more than 300 meters (304.5 meters), the width of the ship is more than 75 meters (the widest part of the flight deck is 75.5 meters), the full load displacement is more than 74,000 tons, and the crew of the ship is said to be as many as 4,000. It's really a small maritime city!

In addition to the huge and peculiar appearance of this huge aircraft carrier, there are three eye-catching features, one is several Me262T jet carrier-based aircraft lined up on the flight deck; the second is a huge mirror mounted on a platform at the edge of the middle section of the flight deck; The third is the two twin W-10 "Waterfall" missile launchers installed next to the two elevators on starboard side (starting with the B41 type aircraft, Germany's large aircraft carriers have adopted the layout of broadside elevators).

Hersman Jr. has also flown the Me262T jet carrier aircraft before, but has not taken off and landed on a real aircraft carrier. Takeoffs and landings were carried out on high-imitation platforms on the flight deck of Hitler-class aircraft carriers. So he knew that the big mirror was an aircraft carrier landing mirror, which could shoot several layers of different colors of light into the air at a certain angle to help the pilot land accurately. At least on land where the landing platform doesn't shake, this drop guide is very useful.

As for the W-10 "Waterfall" missile, Hirschman Jr. had seen it in Buenos Aires and knew how powerful it was. Now this latest anti-aircraft weapon has finally been installed on the aircraft carrier.

In addition to the two twin W-10 Waterfall ship-to-air missile launchers, "Adolf. The aircraft carrier "Hitler" was also equipped with 18 single-mounted 128mm high-level dual-purpose guns, 28 twin 40mm anti-aircraft guns, and 32 20mm single-barreled machine guns. The anti-aircraft firepower is second to none among the surface ships of the German Navy.

Hersman Jr. followed a copy of the "Adolf. Hitler's traffic map", found the command deck located in the stern. Outside a hatch leading to the commandant's office, a blonde-haired sailor saluted him as quickly and neatly as a table clock was ticking.

"Report to the sir, Rudolph. Feng. Major of the Naval Aviation of Yusupov-Heinsberg-Hersmann was ordered to report to you. Rudolph shouted his name outside the door.

"It's Rudolph, your name is so long now, please come in."

Helmut. Heyer's voice came from inside the door. Hersmann Jr. was a first-generation carrier-based aircraft pilot, while Heyer was a first-generation aircraft carrier captain in the German Navy, so the two knew each other as early as 1939.

Rudolph pushed the door open and walked in and saw Helmut. Heyer sat behind a desk, dressed in a dark blue tweed military uniform, looking a gentlemanly look. The only thing that adorns the bulkhead of this modest office is a portrait of Kaiser Wilhelm III hung in a framed frame - because of the restoration of the Hohenzollern dynasty, the Wehrmacht soldiers, with the exception of a small number of SS, swore allegiance only to His Majesty the Kaiser (the SS pledged allegiance to both the Kaiser and the leader Hitler). Therefore, on most occasions where photographs need to be hung, the pictures of the German emperor are also hung. Behind Admiral Hayer, the bulkhead, which appears to be very wide, hangs a large chart of the Atlantic Ocean.

"General." Rudolph saluted, and then sat down in a chair at the signal of Admiral Heyer.

"I've seen your resume, it's perfect, it's the best I've ever seen." Admiral Haye said in an appreciative tone, "My chief of staff, Rear Admiral Christiansen, also strongly recommends you to serve as the aviation operations officer of the 201st Carrier Group, and I think you will be able to do this position, right?" ”

The 201st Carrier Group is one of the main aircraft carrier groups under the 2nd Fleet, which was equipped with Zeppelin-class and Prussian-class aircraft carriers in the Battle of Bermuda. Hitler-class. The aircraft carrier group aviation combat officer is similar to the commander of the super flying wing in the later US imperialist aircraft carrier formation, responsible for formulating air combat plans and conducting air combat command (commanding on a Bv138E water AWACS aircraft). Although the rank is not high (because the Luftwaffe/Naval Aviation has been established for a short time and there are not many senior officers, the colonels can also serve as commanders at the division and regimental level), but the powers and responsibilities are great.

"Yes, sir, I'm up to the job." Little Hersmann is not modest - a tenacious German is not very modest, what can be done is what he can do, what he does is not what he can't do, there is no need for modesty.

And Hersman Jr. is indeed the best candidate to serve as an aviation operations officer of the 201st Aircraft Carrier Group. First of all, he was a "bred-up" elite officer, and he put on a military uniform before the age of 10, an experience that made him superior in the Luftwaffe system (there were no junior military schools in the German Navy); secondly, he is a veteran naval aviation carrier-based aircraft pilot, who has flown the Fokker Zero, Fokker 99, Fokker 100, Fw190 and Me262, and has won the ace of the Blue Marx Medal; In addition, he had extensive experience in naval warfare, having fought in many important naval and air operations in the Mediterranean, Pacific and Atlantic, and he also played an important role in the Battle of Bermuda, for which he was awarded a Silver Leaf Knight's Iron Cross with a Saber (a very high honor).

"Okay, from now on, you will be the aviation operations officer of the 201 brigade." As Admiral Haye spoke, he handed Hersman Jr. a velvet-wrapped box along with a document with the eagle logo on his letterhead. "In addition, you have been promoted to lieutenant colonel of naval aviation, congratulations."

"Thank you, sir."

Little Hersman stood up and saluted, then took the paperwork and the box containing his rank with both hands.

"Sit." General Haye did not let Hesman Jr. go, but let him sit down again.

"Now I can tell you some secrets." "Task Force 20 will leave the waters off Bergen as soon as April 1, 1945, and go to the waters off Newfoundland. ”

"Newfoundland?" Little Hersman was taken aback, he also thought that the main target of the European coalition was Trinidad!

"Yes." "Task Force 20 has three missions: first, to use air forces and long-range heavy bombers to strike American interceptor groups taking off from Newfoundland and Nova Scotia; the second is to use aviation forces to compete for air supremacy in the airspace of 7,000-11,000 meters over the island of Newfoundland; The third is to strike at the U.S. Navy fleet reinforcing Newfoundland with air forces. ”

Actually going to land on Newfoundland! Little Hersman thought to himself: This time it was really beyond everyone's expectations!

Admiral Haye glanced at Little Hersman with a surprised expression on his face, smiled, and continued: "In order to achieve the above three goals, the 201st Aircraft Carrier Group must carry out a carrier-based aircraft force replacement in the middle of the combat mission near Newfoundland, replacing at least 9 Me262 squadrons with 9-10 Me410 squadrons. ”

Adolph. Construction of 4 ships of the Hitler class began, all of which were to be commissioned in the first half of 1945. Therefore, there are also 4 aviation regiments supporting them, and training has been started for a long time. These 4 aviation regiments have a total of 20 flying squadrons, of which 10 squadrons are equipped with Me262Ts and the other 10 squadrons are equipped with Me410Ts. According to the plan, by the beginning of April, the 20 flight squadrons should be fully ready. But Adolf. However, only 2 Hitler-class aircraft carriers were delivered. Therefore, in the Gochburg plan, there was a plan for 20 flying squadrons to take turns on the aircraft carrier to participate in the battle.

"Mentoring plan: You go to Major General Christiansen to get it." Haye continued, "As for the specific battle plan, it is up to you and Prince Lip Wissenfeld, staff officer of the Fleet Aviation, and Helmut of the Air Force. Colonel Poeller co-formulated. Colonel Poyler is now on Adolf. Hitler aircraft carrier, so now you can start working on the scheme. I hope to see the completion of the plan by February 15th. ”

"Understood, General."

……

While Rudolph began to work on the most secret battle plan, his younger brother, another "Hesmann the Younger", Reinhardt, was driving through the frozen terrain to report for duty in Petrograd. According to the order, he was to serve in the Russian Royal "Santa Anastasiania" Guards Heavy Tank Battalion as a platoon leader of a heavy tank platoon equipped with E-50 tanks. It's a good place to start for a newcomer who has never been on the battlefield before.

But sitting in the carriage and looking at a wagon of blonde and blue-eyed German officers, Reinhardt, who was a newcomer to the battlefield. Feng. Second Lieutenant Heinsberg-Hersmann had some strange questions: why hadn't the White Russian troops who landed on Trinidad yet sailed to the port of Belém? Is it a reserve force that you are going to? If this is the case, it will be miserable, and maybe it will not be the turn to go to the battlefield until the day the war ends. And as an officer without any battlefield experience, the future in the army can be imagined.
