Chapter 273: Plan Z

In the historical record of global warfare, submarines played an important role as a new force in the First World War. After the war, countries around the world paid more attention to the development of submarines. By the outbreak of World War II, the countries had more than 900 submarines, including 111 from the United States, 218 from the Soviet Union, 212 from the United Kingdom, 77 from France, 115 from Italy, 62 from Japan, and 57 from Germany. These submarines have made great strides in terms of tonnage, speed, range, and depth, as well as in weaponry, hydroacoustic equipment, electronic equipment, and power plants. Throughout World War II, more than 1,600 submarines were built. These submarines have achieved brilliant results in sinking more than 5,000 transport ships of various types, more than 2,000,000 tons, and sinking and damaging 381 warships of various types.

The above number is only the number of submarines disclosed by various countries, and according to the statistics of experts in the military history of World War II, the total number should be doubled.

On the surface of our huge blue planet, the continents are separated by vast bodies of water, with a total ocean area of about 360 million square kilometers, or about 71% of the Earth's surface area. The central part of the ocean is called the ocean, and the edge part is called the sea, and they communicate with each other to form a unified body of water. The oceans contain more than 1.35 billion cubic kilometres of water, about 97 per cent of the planet's total water, and only 2 per cent of it is available for human consumption. The four main oceans of the earth are the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean, and the Arctic Ocean, most of which are bounded by land and submarine topography. So far, only 5% of the seabed has been explored, and 95% of the seabed is unknown.

Obviously, if any country can control the submarine and control the sea, it can attack any country from any angle, attack the opponent without knowing it, and become an omnipotent and omnipresent "ghost king of the sea".

Lin Xuan is familiar with the history of World War II and has a systematic understanding of Germany's land, sea and air military strength. The organization has built huge archives in Malaysia in Asia, Egypt in Africa, and Chile in South America, most of which are military histories, revealing in detail the secrets of various countries during World War I, World War II, and the Cold War.

In various periods of history, several hegemonic powers that aspire to global domination have built large-scale naval divisions, warships, submarines, deep-sea mobile docks and other water supremacy weapons, in an attempt to sweep across the five lakes and seas and dominate the waters of the earth.

History is dead, but these hegemonic hearts are alive.

The country changes, the situation changes, the names of the hegemons are different, but their dreams are surprisingly the same.

Then, as a brave war beast in World War II, Germany's submarine combat achievements far surpassed those of other countries, and it had the deepest understanding of the power of submarines and the most thorough study of submarine combat theory. Therefore, in the Atlantic theater of World War II, German submarines occupied a dominant position, and their ferocious U-boats and famous "wolf packs" have left a strong mark in the history of submarines.

Germany was defeated in World War II, but it had to be due to providence, not manpower.

The so-called "planning is in man, and success is in heaven" precisely expounds the characteristics of such an unnatural force that distorts the laws of nature.

Therefore, when Lin Xuan listened to Luo Yuan's description of the World War II submarines in the lake, he had already speculated in detail about the numbers of all the German submarines to determine what exactly was in the lake.

Eventually, he linked the submarine in the lake to the German army's most secret plan "Z" during World War II.

It was one of the most daring shipbuilding projects in human history, with a huge scale and a lot of imagination.

"That submarine should be one of the ones in Plan Z that hasn't had time to be put into use-" This is Lin Xuan's judgment. He had seen from the secret information the sketches of the reserve submarines under the jurisdiction of the large warships of Project Z, which were not much different from the mysterious images he had seen in the cave where Mr. Hara lived.

Project Z began in the early days of the Nazis.

In August 1938, Colonel Hayer wrote in a report to the High Command that "even if the Navy had more large battleships, it would not necessarily be able to defeat the British Navy, because a head-to-head confrontation with the powerful battleship forces of the British was not an appropriate response." The weakness of the British was in the Atlantic, where seventy percent of the world's shipping routes were located, and on which Britain needed to maintain its national vitality. Therefore, I believe that the real response is to build some small warships with a certain combat effectiveness, and the navy should invest its limited resources in building a large number of small, fast, and powerful ships with strong endurance to destroy the British people's lifeline at sea, rather than to build only a few large warships that cannot be put into use in the short term. ”

In September of the same year, the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Navy submitted this plan to the Führer.

Raeder suggested to the Führer that if war broke out in a year or two, the large warships would not be able to prepare for war in time.

The head of state immediately gave instructions and prepared to launch Plan Z.

In January 1939, the Supreme High Command officially announced a large-scale shipbuilding program codenamed "Z" and immediately launched it in response to the increasingly tense fighting situation.

The core of Plan Z was the two-stage large battleships, the "Bismarck-class" and the "H-class".

In the detailed number of the plan, it is stated that the H-class is a larger warship than the Bismarck class, with a design displacement of more than 55,400 tons, a length of nearly 266 meters, a speed of 30 knots, and eight sixteen-inch guns, thicker armor than Bismarck, and a total of six ships of this class are planned.

It was planned to build three "O-class" battle cruisers with a displacement of 30,500 tons of diesel engines and steam turbines, which were armed with three twin-mounted fifteen-inch guns of the same model as the Bismarck.

In order to sabotage the enemy's maritime shipping, the "P-class" attack ship was specially designed for the development of the "German class" with a full diesel engine, which far surpassed the "German class" in terms of displacement, speed, and armor protection.

In order to adapt to the development of the times, it is planned to start construction of two "Count Zeppelin-class" aircraft carriers, both of which are fleet aircraft carriers with a displacement of 20,000 tons.

The small and medium-sized ships in the program include: a total of five "Hipper-class" heavy cruisers that have been completed and are under construction; a light cruiser of the "M-class" with a displacement of almost 8,000 tons and a speed of 36 knots; There was also a large number of destroyers and destroyers, as well as two hundred and sixty-seven submarines of various types.

Lin Xuan judged that the submarine that mysteriously appeared in the Himalayan region was derived from Plan Z.

Here are the numbers of the main warships in the "Plan Z" and the number of constructions:

six "H" class battleships (the first four were named: Hindenburg, Ludendorff, Moltke, Frederick the Great); two battleships of the "Bismarck" class (Bismarck, Tirbitz); three O-class battlecruisers (USS Barbarossa, USS Schlieffen, USS Wallenstein); twelve long-range assault ships of the "P" class; Two aircraft carriers of the "Zeppelin" class fleet.

The above list is only a summary of the large capital warships in Plan Z, which has a total tonnage of more than 1.05 million tons of all large surface ships to be built and already owned, not counting the large number of torpedo boats, destroyers and submarines. Judging from the plans at that time, the German fleet was bound to quickly revive and become an invincible hegemon in the Atlantic.

On 28 April 1939, Hitler issued a statement condemning Britain for favoring Poland over the Danzig Corridor between Germany and Poland and announcing Germany's withdrawal from the Anglo-German Naval Pact. At the beginning of April, the German High Command drew up a "white plan" for an invasion of Poland.

At dawn on September 1, 1939, the German army of one million men crossed the border between the two countries and broke into Poland. The training ship Holstein also shelled the port of Danzig at the beginning of the attack.

Lin Xuan's judgment was here, that is, on September 3, 1939, the German Graff, who sailed about 560 nautical miles northwest of Cape Verde. The Count Spee and the supply ship Altmark, the captain of the ship, Khans? Langsdorf eventually became an enigmatic figure in the history of World War II.

In the video, Donna is sitting in Graff? On one of the seven submarines under the command of the Count Spee, numbered 002 -
