[The name of the supporting cast member is really troublesome. After a sudden idea, I turned out the German national team roster. It will probably take a while, haha...]

German naval designers devoted themselves to the design work of their privately named Saxony-class battleships with the greatest enthusiasm. The loose shipbuilding funding allowed the tortured designers to let go of their hands and act rashly on the snow-white design drawings.

Is it an oil-fired boiler or a coal-fired boiler? Given the unlimited tonnage and the shortage of oil resources in Germany, the designers had to give up the small size, mass, light and heat efficiency of oil-fired boiler; should it be a relatively mature 380mm main gun or a 16-inch main gun be redesigned? Learning that the latest British battleships used 14-inch main guns, the designers had already made a choice in their hearts; should they strengthen the range and speed or maintain strong defense as always? Compared with the British's enthusiasm for building five Queen Elizabeth-class battleships in one go, and more than seven Revenge-class battleships, the designers had to stake all their energy on defense and speeds that the Germans were not used to.

Perhaps it was because of the long-term financial difficulties that German designers who were used to dancing on four eggs with firepower, protection, speed and range, had unprecedented loose budgets and coveted "the sky will be its limit" parameter requirements, exposing the poor and slim spirit.

Over time, a German model with the largest tonnage, best airworthiness in history, with a speed of more than a battlecruiser, and its defensive armor can ignore the 13.5-inch main gun commonly equipped by the British. The main turret and command tower armor can even resist the emerging battleships with the Tiger's 15-inch main gun. Its design displacement exceeds 37,000 tons, a long forecastle ship, a output power of 960,000 horsepower, and a maximum speed of 27 knots. It has 4 dual-mounted 380mm main guns, a 350mm waterline with main armor and a two-layer horizontal main armor totaling 150mm horizontal main armor, a 450mm main turret and command tower front defensive armor.

Of course, this super-dreadnought cannot escape the chronic disease of short legs of German battleships. In order to install more boilers, the coal silo supply compartment and crew living compartment were repeatedly compressed, so that the designed displacement of more than 37,000 tons was only 14 knots/4500 nautical miles.

Just when the designers were in full swing, the German Admiralty, which had always had good confidentiality measures, actually had a leak. The Saxony-class battleship ship construction plan and rough data were published in American newspapers, causing a stir for a while.

The MPs who were idle at home were filled with righteous indignation, and the Army cursed the Navy in a furious manner to waste and make money. The Navy Department faced the harsh criticism and could not defend itself. The Navy Intelligence Department immediately launched an investigation, and the Navy Design Office was in a panic.

As for ordinary German people, the sailors and middle and lower-level officers at Wilhelmshaven and Kiel Port, the situation was completely different. They cheered and expected the super battleship to carry the German ocean dream and break the maritime deadlock. When the news reached the palace, the German Emperor William, the patron god of the High Seas Fleet, was even more ecstatic and ordered the Navy Design Office to make a model of the super battleship for him.

The conspiracy is everywhere, but as the pioneer of the super battleship, Wang Heidi has no time to take care of the controversy.

After the Battle of Dogers, Wang Heidi, who was overworked and exhausted and bleeding, was carried into the best hospital in Wilhelmshaven because of his loss of strength, and was immediately transferred to the Berlin Hospital. After a full-body examination of the unbeaten Ares, the doctor exclaimed that Wang Heidi had a moderate concussion and had mild depression.

How could Wang Heidi stand the "time is about to solidify, and the wall clock and pointer are slow, which makes people desperate bed life." After the "1914 Turning Conference", Wang Heidi had to go to the Berlin Military Retirement Home to rest for a day when facing the coercion of Redel and Wegener. Then, he sneaked back to Wilhelmshaven with a bandage and crutches, back to the world of iron-blooded soldiers, and back to the rhythm of war!

The handover with General Hippel is not easy. The so-called handover is not just about people leaving, but also includes the explanation of ship work, the handover of the commander's navigation log, the authority to decrypt the imperial secrets corresponding to the commander of the fleet, etc.

Although Wang Heidi once served as the general staff officer of the fleet and the deputy commander of the fleet, Wang Heidi obviously lacked experience in the fleet chief who was fully responsible. Under General Hippel's careful guidance, Wang Heidi is changing from a mature fleet commander to a fleet chief who coordinates everything.

After completing the handover work, the tasks of summarizing the gains and losses of naval battles, re-allocation of personnel, warship maintenance and repair and targeted writing training outlines are overwhelming.

The fleet staff and shipyard technicians were organized to evaluate the service status of all the main ships of the First Reconnaissance Fleet, return to the factory to repair and replace parts in a targeted manner, and send personnel to urge the Brom-Foss Shipyard and Danze Shuoxiao Shipyard to complete the repair and modification of the Moltch and Deutsch on time. This was related to the replenishment of the combat power of the First Reconnaissance Fleet, and Wang Heidi was not nervous.

The exact number of casualties in the Dogersan Sea Battle, fill out the death notice and early retirement notice, assist the imperial government in the pension of the injured, visiting the families of the deceased and condolences to the naval wounded at Wilhelmshaven Hospital is extremely urgent. They are all the most loyal and brave soldiers in the empire, and their bloody battles do not tolerate any blasphemy!

The surviving crew of the large armored ship of the USS Blüchel and the von der-Tann battle patrol urgently needed to be redistributed. The Dogersal Sea Battle exposed the poor artillery technique of the fleet at night and needed to be improved. After the naval war, the newly added military academy students, sailors and fleet veterans, urgently needed to be solved by tactical training and combat cruise. The stage training outline just started. A series of Dogersal Sea Battle analysis meetings organized by the Ocean Fleet Command, and the battle situation briefing meetings organized by the Berlin Naval Headquarters came one after another. As the front-line commander of the naval war, the German propaganda machine was the focus of the promotional machine. Wang Heidi had the responsibility to give a report to the Imperial Naval Academy, local states, free city and kingdom parliament.

These work is urgent. Even with the help of the deputy commander of the fleet, Major General Magnus von Lewinterzo and General Staff Officer Colonel Singhlaer, Wang Heidi was still busy as a spinning top, wandering between the anchorage of the First Reconnaissance Fleet in Jed Bay, the Hamburg Brom-Foss Shipyard, the Wilhelmshaven Ocean Fleet Command and the Berlin Naval Headquarters, and had to spend time traveling around Germany to give speeches.

Lewentzow and Singhlaire were worried about Wang Heidi's physical condition. Sher and General Hippel repeatedly persuaded Wang Heidi to put down his work and return to the hospital to rest for a while. Wang Heidi stubbornly refused several times, until the sedative could no longer stop the faint pain head, and then asked the Ocean Fleet Command for leave.

This busyness was late November. Before early winter, Wang Heidi swayed north to Kiel, and then took the time to board the train to Bavaria.

The train arrived from the desolate Northern Germany Plain, and large areas of cold and wet swamps and yellow fields continued to retreat. Entering the hilly areas of Bavaria, the monotonous light yellow finally disappeared. Outside the car windows were filled with rolling hills and the blue Danube River, the mountains and lush castles in the distance, the migratory birds and docile mountain sheep, as well as the charming grape trellis and the golden and dazzling wheat in the valley.

Avril and the boy next door, Brandeis started arguing again. Avril put his hands on his hips and pointed at the erection, but Brandeis lowered his head and bent.

The baby daughter of the Silame family "is only good to Avril," "Brandes' cheesecake is from the Silame family", "Avril's homework is also Brandeis' homework", and such "three disciplines and eight precautions" made Wang Heidi feel frightened and regretted taking these two little guys out. Wang Heidi coughed, in return for her daughter's disdainful eyes, and she was determined to act like a strict father and turn her rude daughter into a standard lady. However, Anne, who protects her short-skinned, snuggled up on his shoulders, and Wang Heidi, who has a strict wife, had to give up in disappointment.

Rolling his eyes, Wang Heidi turned her head and tried to isolate her daughter's screams, but Anne's chattering was like a shadow.

Anne, who is in her thirties, is absolutely not beautiful and charming. At most, it has nothing to do with her beauty. The traces of time can be seen everywhere in the corners of her eyes and fingertips, but the simplicity in her bones, or the "nagging that cannot be changed until death" mentioned by Wang Heidi in his memoirs, has not changed at all.

Anne held Wang Heidi's arm and her hair bun's head fell firmly on Wang Heidi's shoulders. She first criticized her husband for his fearlessness in the Battle of Dogers. Then she slowly counted the family trivialities of her soldier husband. In the vague Northern German dialect, several names that interest Wang Heidi occasionally popped up. For example, the Jewish ghost Lehman contracted many warehouses at the dock and transformed from a foreman to a capitalist; for example, the old man

The Dicks' factory was transformed into a military factory, and the Dicks finally became a German industrial trust giant. However, even though the old Dicks were rich, they could not solve the marriage of their daughter Catherine; for example, Blunt was very prosperous at the Keil Wharf and had high prestige among the workers in Keil and Schleswig-Helstein; for example, Wang Heidi's uncle Schneider, was promoted and served as a tax official in the Lower District of Kilbrooklyn.

In his childhood sweetheart, Annie couldn't talk about quietness. After getting married, doing housework made Annie's nagging worse. Wang Heidi wanted to swallow the bottle of calming medicine hidden deep in her pocket, but she was afraid that her family would worry. She rolled the newspaper in her hand that she had read several times with her scalp. After a moment, she raised her head irritably and accidentally bumped into a sympathetic look.

The master of his eyes was Wang Heidi's seat opposite, a young man in a blue army uniform. From the blue army uniform with Brandenburg-style cuffs, lemon yellow armbands, bright red collars and piping, Wang Heidi easily distinguished that young man belonged to the Bavarian Army.

"Jean Adler, Army Corporal, Rosenheim!" Wang Heidi's dark regular clothes could not hide the increasingly obvious military aura on his body. The soldier standing up, pointed to his empty right sleeve, raised his left arm and gave an unstandard military salute.

"Heidi - Sileme, Lieutenant General, Kiel!" The breath of the same soldier dispelled the haze in Wang Heidi's heart. The topics between soldiers were obviously more pleasing to Wang Heidi than Anne's family and the playfulness of Avril's children. Wang Heidi quickly stood up and returned a military salute.
