Chapter 20: The Reborn Prince Eugen
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the operation to break diplomatic relations has been going on for more than a month, and Germany's operation to break diplomatic relations has achieved amazing results! A number of battleships and heavy cruisers carried out a diplomatic break-up operation, sinking about 150,000 tons of British merchant ships. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info But the good fortune passed quickly, and the British sent more convoys and encirclement fleets!
As a result, in just two weeks, Germany lost the battleships Bismarck and Count Spee, as well as a number of other large ships. Now I can't even sit down with a mustache, and I am frantically clamoring to give Britain a little color! But the mustachioed Führer didn't want to think that Britain's naval strength was almost three times that of Germany, except that the German battleships could win by quality alone, and in the event of a group fight, the German battleships would be beaten into pigs' heads by the British!
But at this time Germany was in a state of extreme arrogance, and if you told the mustache that we would not be able to defeat the Allies! Then he won't send you to the gallows right away and sentence you directly to treason! Don't you see that the Reich is now in great shape, and the whole of Europe is trembling under the iron hooves of Germany! There is only one small island, Britain, well, that's right, a small island that is still stubbornly resisting outside the European continent!
At this time, the Germans already thought that they were supergods, their army was invincible all over the world, and the air force was also sweeping the sky, except for the weakness of the navy, everything else was fine. Moreover, the navy also has Germany's naval hero - Zhang Fan, of course, the Germans think that as long as Zhang Fan attacks, it will be no problem to beat the British!
At this time, the Germans were still delusional that the British would surrender, so they were not really ready to fight a landing battle to completely defeat the British. But the Germans never imagined that Britain would never surrender! Britain is different from other European powers, and it is built on the navy! Your German navy is very different from the British, and the British are not afraid at all, how can they surrender!
With this kind of plot in mind, the mustache hastily ordered Zhang Fan to attack and teach the British a lesson. But Zhang Fan himself knew that this was probably his last battle in Germany. Because the British, who have already suffered several losses, will definitely lay a good trap and wait for themselves to get in, and the British will definitely use several times the force to annihilate themselves! These British people don't talk about chivalry, although King Arthur of England is a knight king, but the first to bring down this knight king is the British themselves. So to believe that the British have any chivalry, Zhang Fan is a fool!
But at this time, Zhang Fan had already thought of a way out, Germany at this time was in full swing, and his presence or absence had little impact! Since this is the case, of course, we must give full play to the spirit of the great leaders of the past, the guerrilla warfare spirit of the enemy advancing and retreating, the enemy being tired and disturbing, and the enemy retreating and chasing after me! Play peek-a-boo with the British thoroughly!
In addition, in order to maximize his strength, Zhang Fan also specially applied for a special recruitment order from the Navy Headquarters, allowing Zhang Fan to recruit young naval cadets to reserve talents!
With this order, Zhang Fan let go of recruitment! As long as he is young and strong, and knows some basic navigation knowledge, Zhang Fan will not refuse to come. At this time, Zhang Fan was a hero in Germany. And a hero he admired suddenly said that he wanted to recruit followers, and the young people who applied for it were not endless!
In just one month, Zhang Fan recruited a full 50,000 people, plus his original 20,000 people, to form a full 70,000 naval force!
In order to carry these crews, Zhang Fan recruited a full 5 large transport ships and converted these transport ships into special carriers for both materials and personnel. Each of these ships can carry at least 10,000 tons of supplies and 8,000 people. These five transport ships can carry 40,000 people and 50,000 tons of supplies. And Zhang Fan has brought another super overhaul to his ship, the Prinz Eugen! In order to meet the requirements of the special campaign it was planning, the Prinz Eugen was completely reshaped, first of all, its tonnage soared to 68,000 tons, which was already a super battleship far more than all the warships of Germany and Britain. Such a huge battleship has only 2 main guns.
But instead of a decrease in the power of these two main guns, the power of these two guns has increased significantly. Because both of these are electromagnetic railguns with a diameter of up to 233mm. Very rudimentary electromagnetic railguns, of course. After handing over the concept of the Krupp electromagnetic railgun, the later recognized artillery expert quickly developed an engineering prototype. But due to the technical limitations at this time, the power of this railgun was not very satisfactory! After all, in this era when there are no superconductors and no large-scale computers, it is simply impossible to create an electromagnetic railgun with actual combat capabilities. But none of this is a problem for Zhang Fan. As long as there are enough wishing points, zero can carry out unlimited optimization and transformation.
Relying on a large number of Wish Power Points, Zero has almost optimized the engineering prototype provided by Krupp to the limit, so the transformation of just two guns is enough to consume 500,000 Wish Power Points.
Zhang Fan couldn't help but smack his tongue when he heard such a huge amount of wish power point consumption.
Zero explained that this is because the most important material of the electromagnetic railgun, the superconductor at room temperature, is already a very special material, and this material is basically impossible to be born in a conventional environment! Only some very special circumstances make it possible to give birth to this special material!
It really relied on the large-scale killing weapon of the room temperature superconductor that Zhang Fan was able to install this electromagnetic railgun on the battleship and greatly reduce its appearance. This makes the volume of these two super electromagnetic guns basically the same as the 365mm naval guns, but the firepower projection is a little slower. But its power is directly off the charts! You must know that even in later generations, electromagnetic railguns are truly super technology! It's incredibly powerful. Due to the absence of satellites, the current firing range is limited, and reconnaissance aircraft can only be relied on to expand the field of view! Even so, this super gun can hit targets at a distance of 800 km, but the shooting accuracy is a little worse and needs to be calibrated many times! But the amazing power makes up for its shortcomings, as long as it hits, any warship in the world at the moment is a one-shot soul. Even the super battleship that is still under construction, the Yamato will not be able to resist this super electromagnetic cannon head-on.
Of course, in order to meet such an amazingly powerful super electromagnetic cannon, the motor module on the Prinz Eugen has also been expanded extremely large. Due to the limitations of current technology, it takes 5 minutes for such a huge motor module to fully charge the electromagnetic gun. That is, the CD of the Prinz Eugen takes a full 5 minutes.
And this is only a modification of firepower, in order to avoid being beaten by the carrier-based aircraft group, Zhang Fan also directly opened his brain, copied the Soviet combat aircraft carrier of the later generation, removed the main gun of the rear half of the battleship, and added two mobile decks. These two decks are usually directly attached to the sides of the battleship, as if the battleship has wings. It will open when it is needed. Two diagonal runways are formed. One for take-off, one for landing!
And all the planes went in and out of the hangar through a lift in the tail of the battleship. So as soon as the planes are ready to take off and land, the Prinz Eugen will raise a huge inverted V-shaped wing! It felt like a Kunpeng about to spread its wings and fly, huge, shocking!
If only these modifications were made, it wouldn't have cost Zhang Fan 3 million power points. You must know that as Xinghai Media and Xinghai Technology have gradually emerged in Germany, Zhang Fan's willingness has further increased, but the transformation of the Prince Eugen has almost exhausted all his wish reserves. It can be seen that the amount of transformation this time is quite amazing!
Why so many Wish Power points are consumed, it is because Zhang Fan has made major modifications to the interior of the battleship. The battleship has added a multi-storey hangar, which is enough to carry 60 fighters of various types, which is equivalent to a medium and large aircraft carrier. The lowest hull is also designed to be openable and closing. This is a miniature shipyard. This is one of the most important components of the Prinz Eugen. This miniature dock has the ability to repair and renovate all kinds of warships, submarines and other types of ships that do not exceed the size of the Prinz Eugen. This is a mobile dock.
And if it is to manufacture and repair some super-large hulls or other items, this miniature dock can also be deployed, and in a safer place, the Prinz Eugen can be unfolded and become a temporary fixed sea dock to repair and transform multiple warships or super-large hull warships!
This is the multi-functional mothership in Zhang Fan's mind! A self-sufficient sea fortress! With her, Zhang Fan can really fight guerrilla warfare with the British on the vast sea!
