"Admiral Raeder called, asking the Führer to name the two aircraft carriers newly commissioned. "The officer, after giving the news of the launch of the two aircraft carriers, told the purpose of coming here. The naming of German aircraft carriers has always been done by Accardo alone, and he just took the names of some battleships that appeared in German history and painted them like cats and tigers, and he has been fooled until today.

The experiment of the Navy's take-off twin-engine fighter-bomber has been carried out almost, which has also given the German naval aviation the ability to take off and land aircraft at night to carry out operations.

The German Navy twin-engine fighter-bomber is a multi-role aircraft developed from the German twin-engine night fighter, which is in fact an aircraft modified from the JU-88. This aircraft lost a bid to compete for a German medium-range bomber and was given a multi-purpose aircraft for limited production, the German medium-range bomber DO-217 in service.

At the beginning of the design, the performance of this aircraft completely surpassed that of the DO-217, and was eventually abandoned by the German army because of the bomb load problem, but the Führer was optimistic about the future of this aircraft, and authorized it to continue production, and finally the Air Force ordered a batch to be used as a high-speed reconnaissance aircraft, and then the Navy ordered a batch as a medium-range patrol aircraft.

After the start of the war, British bombers frequently attempted to bomb important Forte targets of the German army, and even attempted to bomb Berlin at some point. This put pressure on the Luftwaffe air defenses, especially at night when aircraft could not take off to intercept the opponent, and even more so that Catherine and Dick, who were responsible for the security of the airspace at home, could not sleep. They were in dire need of a flying weapon that could fight at night to solve the problem of not being able to stop the enemy from bombing at night.

Although the Battle of Britain ended quickly, the collapse of the British Navy made it possible for the Germans to land in Britain, and finally the battle for the British mainland also came to an end, and the air defense pressure on the German mainland disappeared in an instant, and the shortcomings of the air force in night air combat that had been stuck in the throat became less obvious.

However, the serious Germans did not abandon the plan to strengthen the homeland air defense, and they were still looking for a way to carry out the task of expelling the opposing bomber force at night, and finally an improvement in equipment allowed them to find a suitable weapon.

With the continuous development of German radar, finally a miniaturized radar was born in Siemens, Germany, this small radar was originally designed for U-boat air alert, after some improvements, this smaller radar system can be installed on aircraft such as limited weight weapons.

In order to make room for the nose to place the radar antenna, and in order to arrange to accommodate the radar operator, the Luftwaffe finally chose to use a twin-engine medium aircraft to carry the radar system and make it a night fighter.

DO-217 aircraft because the volume reached the limit of the twin-engine bomber, so the flight performance is not as good as the faster and better JU-88, and finally in the experiment, the improved JU-88 completed the flight test very well, and the volume is more in line with the requirements of the navy.

As a result, the JU-88 twin-engine aircraft, which was originally intended as a multi-role aircraft, became a German night fighter, and production was required to increase 100 times overnight, and the Luftwaffe and Navy ordered 1,100 and 780 night modifications of this type from Juncker, respectively. Of course, this was only the order at that time, and more were added later, as Germany expanded the demand for night fighters due to the problems of air battles in the oil-producing areas of Romania.

It is precisely because night fighters and night fighter-bombers began to enter service in large quantities that the German Navy began to experiment with naval modifications of this aircraft on aircraft carriers, and in order to take off on the deck of aircraft carriers, Juncker gave the aircraft a lot of weight reduction, and reinforced the landing gear of the aircraft, and installed a large landing hook. The wings were shortened and better engines were used, and the wings were even modified to fold into structures, and eventually the aircraft was converted to be considered a different aircraft.

After a series of modifications, the JU-88Y, a naval modification of the JU-88, finally took off and landed on an aircraft carrier, and for the first time, the German Navy had the ability to fight at night - although this combat capability was very limited, it still had the possibility of attacking the enemy's fleet at night.

Unfortunately, the JU-88 is not a tailor-made aircraft for aircraft carriers, and although the improved JU-88Y has changed a lot in appearance, it is still not a perfect choice for seaplanes. Therefore, the combat capability of the aircraft carriers of the German Navy loaded with JU-88Y plummeted, and they could only act as an umbrella and reassurance for the fleet at night, and could hardly participate in daytime operations.

Because of the size and load-bearing design of the aircraft carrier's elevators, these navy-type night fighter-bombers could only be parked on the deck of the aircraft carrier, and they could not take off if they were parked in the rear for more than ten remaining decks. Therefore, if such aircraft are carried, then the aircraft carrier can only store a small number of FW-190 fighters in the internal hangar, and these aircraft will not be able to take off for combat in a short time.

In addition, although the performance of the JU-88Y is good, it is too wasteful to participate in daytime air combat and bombing, and it is easy to be shot down by the opponent because of its general performance, so the aircraft carrier carrying this kind of aircraft does not participate in daytime operations - the German Navy finally gained the ability to fight at night, but it has not been reborn, and the progress of science and technology is often not as good as imagined at the beginning, which is the bump that cannot be crossed in real life.

When Nokia was the first to launch a touch screen phone, because of the limitations of science and technology, it almost did not use a capacitive screen, and the consequence of helplessly carrying a resistive screen was the failure of user experience - it didn't take long for Apple to launch a capacitive screen phone, overthrowing the Nokia phone dynasty in one fell swoop. And now the German Navy is at such an embarrassing critical point, the size of the radar is getting smaller and smaller, and finally it can be used as a missile guidance element, the aircraft carrier fleet in the future will rely on missile destroyers to really gain the ability to fight at night, and after the jet fighters equipped with radar go on the aircraft carrier, the aircraft carrier itself has the ability to fight at night, and these are not possible at the beginning of 1939.

Now the German Navy has launched two more aircraft carriers, expanding the number of aircraft carriers to seven, which is undoubtedly bad news for Britain and the United States. In the Atlantic, the British and American navies only have the main aircraft carrier Ark Royal, which is obviously difficult to deal with the German navy. Although the German Navy seems to have been cowering in the harbor recently, and has no intention of coming out to make waves, who can guarantee that this important force will not burst out and hurt people in the next second?

Germany's plan to form a Mediterranean Fleet touched the fundamental interests of the Italian Navy, and Turkey did not want the Germans to deploy a powerful fleet on their doorstep. Because of this, Mussolini has always had a negative attitude towards the German Mediterranean fleet, so the aircraft carrier that Germany has just repaired has been on standby near the Strait of Gibraltar and has not entered the Mediterranean Sea to participate in the operation at all.

The current German Mediterranean Fleet consisted of only two cruisers and five destroyers, and had no independent combat capability at all except to salvage a few mines laid by the British, because of this Accardo was even a little annoyed, and he was so distracted by the current situation within the Axis that he was more and more inclined to kill an ally to make an example of it.

Therefore, the two aircraft carriers of the German Navy cannot be put into the Mediterranean Sea for the time being, and there is no fuel for them to hunt in the Atlantic, and the only possibility is to be stationed in the British military port as another deterrent force to deter the British Royal Navy, which will not take any action in the short term.

To put it simply, these two aircraft carriers are actually two ships that have no effect in a short period of time, and Accardo's helplessness is that even if he knows that the United States will not fight for the time being, Britain has no ability to counterattack, but he still has to continue to operate the Atlantic barrier to prevent another embarrassing situation of two-front warfare.

"Do you have any proposals from the Navy?" Accardo thought of these helpless things, and finally sighed and asked, "Raeder didn't give a few candidate ship names?"

"Uh......" The naval officer was stunned for a moment by Accardo, hasn't the name of the naval aircraft carrier always been chosen by the Führer himself, and who dares to make suggestions at this time? Looking for death is not the way to find death, you casually occupy the power of the Führer, what do you want to do? How do the SS answer this question?

"Okay! Wait a minute, I think about it. Since I don't have any suggestions, I'll just think of one...... Call...... Let's call it the Blucher!" said Accardo, "I hope that this new aircraft carrier will bring glory and victory to the great German, just like Marshal Blucher!"

"What a good name, my Führer!" the naval officer's eyes lit up when he heard the name, and he nodded, "What about the other battleship?"

Accardo thought for a moment, and then spoke slowly: "The second aircraft carrier, I named it, Euro...... Evil Dragon, I hope that this battleship will be like a huge dragon, destroy our opponents, and maintain the security of the Empire's waters!" He originally wanted to call it Prince Eugen, but considering the mood of Turkey, he gave up the name and temporarily thought of such a strange name.

As a result, one of the most unconventional aircraft carriers in the entire German naval fleet was born, and its name became an interesting entry point for later generations to study the German Navy because it was completely out of tune with the other sister ships of the Zeppelin-class aircraft carriers.

A new month, a new day! The dragon spirit is no longer in arrears! It feels good! By the way, ask for a monthly ticket recommendation! Long live the Third Reich!
