Chapter 177 The Hindenburg enters service 2)

Overall, this trip to the Soviet Union was quite smooth. The two countries signed a package of cooperation agreements, which will soon appear throughout Europe and the whole world.

Let’s exaggerate the good relationship between Germany and the Soviet Union. Although they are a bit dirty, Germany still hopes to maintain peace with the Soviet Union. In this way, Roosevelt on the other side of the ocean will feel after hearing such news!

Roosevelt must be still dreaming that he wanted to unite the Soviet Union to fight against Germany. It's a pity that the Soviet Union hoped that Germany would lose both sides in the war with the United States, so that Germany would easily attack.

And now, Germany is indeed preparing for maritime hegemony.

Just the second day after Cialick returned to Germany, he came to the German Shipyard with great enthusiasm. This day was a special day for the German Navy!

After half a year of sea tests, the most advanced battleship of the German Navy, the Hindenburg-class, is finally going to be put into active service and join the German Navy's Atlantic Fleet!

In history, the only completed work in Germany was the Bismarck class. As a result, it was destroyed by the British navy shortly after going to sea. This made Hitler extremely disappointed with the water troops and instead supported the submarine force. The Hindenburg class, which started construction in 39, was also injected into the cold palace. After that, the war with the Soviet Union was more about fighting for hegemony on land, and Germany slowed down its pace of equipment at sea.

But now it's different.

Germany has occupied the entire Western Europe. If Germany cannot obtain the sea control power of the Atlantic Ocean, then Germany will never be able to truly win. If it wants to control the sea control power, it is not possible to rely on those submarines. It must have a main fleet!

Although Cialek knew that the future maritime overlord belonged to an aircraft carrier, it was not possible now, because the Atlantic Ocean's climate was harsh and the ocean meteorology was complex, and there were often cases where carrier-based aircraft could not take off. At this time, battleships were valuable at sea.

The Hindenburg class started under this idea. After several years of construction, the Hindenburg class is finally about to be put into service.

This is a huge warship with a full load displacement of 70,000 tons. Only by standing in front of it can you feel the power of this warship.

The captain of this warship is nearly 300 meters, and the draft exceeds 11 meters. The tall bridge is like a building.

What makes people feel most excited is the thick and powerful naval gun.

460mm, the largest caliber naval gun in this era! The maximum range is more than 40 kilometers. Over twenty kilometers, as long as one shot is used, any warship will be sunk, and it will definitely be a soul-stopping!

When Cyric's car appeared on the dock, the entire scene was filled with a sea of ​​jubilation.

People held their right arms high and shouted the slogan loudly. The 10,000 flag fluttered in the wind on the bridge of the Hindenburg-class warships. Sailors in festive dresses stood neatly around the ships.

Navy commander Radell personally helped Cialick open the car door and watched Cialick walk down from above. When Cialick came out, he held Redell's hand together.

Redel and Cialis have known each other for ten years. Over the past decade, Redel has witnessed the continuous growth of the German Navy. From the near-shore maritime patrol stipulated in the initial Versailles Treaty to the current Ocean Navy, Germany's strength is inseparable from Cialis!

And the Hindenburg-level was even more decided by Cialek.

The resources required to build a battleship are astronomical figures. For example, a naval gun on a battleship now weighs nearly 3,000 tons, which is equivalent to a destroyer.

If it were to build tanks, it would be able to build nearly a thousand vehicles! The navy is definitely the most expensive army, but Cialis decided without hesitation to come out, with a displacement of 70,000 tons and a 460mm naval gun!

The Navy's Z plan is in progress in an orderly manner. This Hindenburg-class battleship will build six of them and become the absolute main force of the Atlantic Fleet!

What is even more exciting is that this kind of warship only needs to be produced by Germany. The piles of iron ore imported from the Soviet Union are enough to create two battleships of the same model!

Cialek was dressed in military uniform and looked extremely energetic. He took a step and stepped onto the battleship. On the front deck, under the naval gun, and on the temporary platform, Cialek began his speech.

"Today, we are very happy to see our Hindenburg-class battleships ended the sea test and officially joined our naval sequence." Cialick said: "This is a great moment. Just twenty years ago, our navy was still trembling under the Treaty of Versailles. We have a country but no defense. Now, we can proudly announce to the world that there is no force that can stop the expansion of the Third Reich!"

At this time, there is no need to be hesitant. Just a few days ago, Cirick went to Moscow to attend the military parade. Aren’t the Soviets showing their powerful strength?

In Cialek's eyes, it was just a clown. The Soviets even needed German aircraft carriers to build. What else could they be complacent?

"Our Third Empire must use its own sword to obtain land for the plow of the Third Empire and obtain daily bread for the people of the Empire. Anyone who wants to be an enemy of the Empire will inevitably be enslaved under the power of the Empire. Only by obeying the Empire can he exist!"

At this time, Cialek did not say who the opponent was. Now he was saying what he said on the battleship, which was of course the target at sea. As a result, a few months later, when the German Barbarossa operation began, the Soviets remembered that Cialek's words were actually said to the Soviets.

Cialek's words pushed the surrounding emotions to a climax. At this time, the empire is absolutely capable of dealing with any enemy! The power of the empire is hot in everyone's heart.

Now, on the other side of the ocean, we are aggressively trying to be enemies with the Empire, even if we come on, the Empire will not be afraid of anyone!

"Now, I announce that the Hindenburg has officially joined the Atlantic Fleet, using Plymouth as a port to cruise the Atlantic Ocean at any time!" When Cyric finished his speech, Raidel simply said a few words: "Long live the German Navy!"

Long live! The sounds around were neat and uniform, which was the shouts of 2,400 officers and soldiers on the ship!

Amid the shouts, Captain Lukins stood on the bridge and announced loudly: "Draw the anchor and set sail!"

Lukins is the most outstanding captain in the German Navy, with almost several firsts, the captain of the first German-class pocket battleship, the captain of the first Bismarck, and now, he has been appointed again as the first Hindenburg-class captain.

His assistant Linderman was promoted to the new captain of the Bismarck.

With Lukins' order, the battleship's 20 heavy oil boilers began to burn with full power, black smoke emerged from the chimney, and 6 high-pressure turbines emitted powerful 280,000 horsepower. The propeller rotated at the tail, and the battleship began a new round of voyage, headed to its own station, and began patrolling the Pacific Ocean!
Chapter completed!
