The Navy recently sent a piece of good news to Accardo, the aircraft carrier was launched along the way, and has carried out tests such as wind and wave resistance in the North Sea area, and the German elite naval pilots completed the task ahead of schedule, and with the aircraft carrier going to sea for the first time, it completed the sea take-off and landing tests. It seems that they have been suppressed long enough, and since the last heroic self-sinking in Britain, the German navy has waited too long for the rise of the German navy.

The Washington Naval Treaty was finally a dead letter because of the actions of the Soviets, and Japan began to build the Yamato-class super battleships in order to deal with the Soviet battleship threat, and the British, not to be outdone, directly purchased two Bismarck-class battleships from Germany, and began to build the second sister ship of the Hood-class battlecruisers in their own country.

The U.S. Navy has also begun its own battleship replenishment program, Italy is desperately building new Victor-class battleships - and of course Germany has launched its own super-naval main combat weapon: aircraft carriers.

Germany's Zeppelin-class aircraft carriers, a total of two, were launched almost simultaneously. The first ship, No. 001, was named Zeppelin, and the second ship, No. 002, was named Bismarck. The length of the ship is 275 meters, the width is 44 meters.

Both aircraft carriers had a full load displacement of 28,000 tons, which in 1935 could be considered the largest among aircraft carriers. And both aircraft carriers use closed decks and closed hangars, which guarantee good storage of fighters in the harsh weather conditions of the North Atlantic.

With a huge straight flight deck, an island bridge, and a single chimney integrated into the bridge, the German aircraft carrier is infinitely close to the shape of later aircraft carriers in every design, except for two elevators located in the center of the aircraft carrier flight deck, it can be said to be a standard future aircraft carrier.

The ship was not equipped with any large-caliber guns, only 12 Bofors anti-aircraft guns were equipped on both sides as anti-aircraft weapons, and the rest of the space was reserved for fuel and aircraft ammunition depots, but due to the lack of armor protection, the ship used a lot of watertight compartments to stop losses, so the tonnage was increased.

Both aircraft carriers are equipped with 35 navy-type FW-190D fighters with foldable wings, 28 Stuka dive bombers with foldable wings, 4 reconnaissance FW-190 aircraft, one reserve aircraft each, and a total of 70 loaded aircraft.

Compared with the British aircraft carriers of the same period, the German aircraft carriers did not have any advantages to boast about, and the British aircraft carrier Ark Royal, which was under construction, had a full load displacement of only 20,000 tons, but could be equipped with 60 aircraft.

This is the result of the mass production of German aircraft carriers. In order to pursue the speed of shipbuilding, the German Navy standardized many hull structures and parts, so it also caused many warships to use civilian standard equipment and parts, which wasted a lot of space and weight, which can be regarded as a compromise between quantity and quality.

The disadvantage of the compromise is that the aircraft carrier's protection capability is reduced, and the combat capability is average, but the benefits are also obvious: the two aircraft carriers only took a short period of more than a year from construction to launching, and finally to being able to go to sea to fight, and the British aircraft carrier Ark Royal, which was built at the same time, is still lying in the dock.

As soon as the two aircraft carriers were launched, the new high seas fleet of the German Navy was immediately formed, which Admiral Raeder personally commanded, with 2 aircraft carriers and 4 cruisers, as well as 8 large ocean-going destroyers. The fleet was on trial voyage in the North Sea, and Raeder seemed to have regained the days when the German High Seas Fleet had been hidden from the sky and the sun in the North Sea.

The hulls of the other two aircraft carriers were immediately sent to the dockyard, and the shipyard's engineers proudly told the naval technicians that the German Navy would have two more identical aircraft carriers in less than 10 months, and that the German Navy would become a formidable military force in the North Sea.

Accardo personally praised the shipbuilding engineers and workers in the port of Kiel, and encouraged them to continue to produce all kinds of warships of the German Navy, and Raeder, who had gone to sea instead of the military port, accompanied the Führer by Rear Admiral Dönitz, the deputy commander of the Navy, who gave Accardo a systematic plan for the German Navy.

In the next three years, the German Navy will become a huge navy with 6 aircraft carriers, 18 cruisers, 33 ocean-going destroyers, 60 destroyers for other defensive escorts, and 170 submarines of various types. Once equipped, the Navy will use submarine wolf pack tactics to tear up British sea supply lines, and then the fleet will completely destroy the British Royal Navy with carrier-based aircraft in a decisive battle.

This ambitious plan for the future development of the navy was a bit of a joke to Accardo, because if the navy had been equipped with such a large fleet, then the German army would have to conquer the world with wheelbarrows - and the air force was even more pitiful, because the wheelbarrows could not fly.

In fact, in Accardo's plan, Germany had 4 aircraft carriers and a sufficient number of escort ships at the time of the war, which was already a blessing to Germany by the gods and Buddhas. If you don't get it right, war will break out in the next year, and the only thing the navy can fight immediately is the two aircraft carriers in hand.

To tell the truth, whether the naval surface forces can win is really uncertain, and perhaps it will be necessary to rely on German submarines to stabilize the long coastline. Because the combat capabilities of naval aviation have so far yet been tested. This is a systematic project, and it is not something that can be done by putting land planes on aircraft carriers.

Germany has developed a special anti-ship aerial bomb for the Navy Stuka, equipped with a time-delay fuse, but the actual effect has not yet been tested. The Stuka can be considered a good design as a land dive bomber, but the sea dive attack warship is a dangerous and crazy move, so Accardo did not expect the Stuka to have much combat power, but the torpedoes were dropped by the multi-purpose FW-190 fighter, so the Navy fighter pilots had to be trained regularly how to drop torpedoes to attack warships. In this way, the naval aviation's ability to attack sea targets can only be estimated according to the general situation, and it is difficult to plan in advance the size of the battle results.

After the Navy had finished talking about going to see the Air Force, and after explaining to Dönitz the task of training the submarine force, Accardo rushed to Ludwig, which was an important production base for Farben.

Having rejected Krupp's train cannon project, Accardo urgently needed to find a weapon for his army that could keep up with the pace of the French and Soviet fortress defenses, which could become an impenetrable superline for the Germans if he did not have the right weapons to use.

When designing the Dora Cannon King deception, Accardo remembered the Soviet Union's fortified fortress on the Crimean Peninsula, which the Germans barely managed to take with the help of train guns, and now that the train guns are gone, it has undoubtedly become the graveyard of the German army.

Accardo wasn't a complete military fanatic in his previous life, and if you told him about the T34 tank or the battleship Bismarck, he'd be able to you for a day...... And if you talk to him, KWK30L/55AUSF. A-F: He would never have guessed that it was the code name of a German 20 mm caliber shell.

His understanding of weapons used to attack enemy fortifications was still limited to the train guns of World War II and the ground-penetrating weapons after the Gulf War: it seemed impossible for the Luftwaffe to develop ground-penetrating weapons now, and the costly railway cannon Accardo had also denied it. So he had to meditate in the office, racking his brains to provide ideas for the attack and defense of the fortress.

In the end, he and his technical advisers came up with two alternatives: one was to destroy the forts with heavy bombs, so he ordered the German designers to develop a super aerial bomb weighing up to 3 tons for the future air force heavy bomber, and the other was to use flame to solve the enemy inside the forts, and he intended to use the napalm of later generations to empty the forts.

After discussion among Air Force professionals, it was finally decided that it would be more prudent to give priority to the development of napalm. Because after all, Germany's four-engine heavy strategic bomber is still in the stage of secret test flights, and the rush to develop an even less mature special weapon for an immature weapon obviously outweighs the cost.

Recently, according to a clue provided by the Führer, the leading German chemical company, the company finally succeeded in developing a new type of incendiary bomb, which has been named napalm by the Führer. This weapon is produced from raw materials such as polystyrene and gasoline, and the power can be called enormous.

The napalm that splashes on people after the napalm explodes is like lard paste, viscous and resistant to burning. If a person uses his hands to slap the fire, the more he shoots, the bigger the fire, and if he rolls on the ground to extinguish the fire, he will get the whole body on fire. And once there is a lot of fire on the person, the people on the side should try to stay away from the person on fire, because the struggle of the person on fire is easy to throw the burning oil block on the person to form a secondary killing effect.

A doctor of chemistry in the real yàn room said to Accardo: "If it is for humanitarian reasons, it is better to end the life of the person who is on fire with a gun." Because of the victims of napalm, it can be said that death is the greatest relief. ”

The napalm developed by Germany also added white phosphorus to it, which left a large amount of highly toxic chemicals after burning the human epidermis, which entered the bloodstream through the open wound of the burn wound, causing blood poisoning of the wounded. Burn surfaces are generally purple, or blue-black.

Another practical but dangerous effect of incendiary petrol bombs is that they "rapidly consume oxygen from the nearby air" and produce large amounts of carbon monoxide to cause biological asphyxiation, which is usually the case when used in bombs.

In fact, the Germans had acquired a powerful weapon which, together with the Stuka dive bomber, was a nightmare for fixed targets, and with this superweapon for attacking the fortifications, the generals of Accardo were confident in breaking through the enemy's fortified lines - and now that the Germans had sharpened their sharp knives and were ready to stab their neighbors.
