Chapter 1160: Deck Freeze 1)

After stepping into the cockpit, Franz quickly started the engine. In fact, there is a big disadvantage to the Stuka boarding the ship, because this type of aircraft is water-cooled, and warships must load more fresh water for Stuka to use. This is also the reason why the German Navy prefers to use F190-class aircraft. Air-cooled engines are more convenient to maintain.

As the current stimulated the motor, the engine of the Stuka bomber emitted a stream of black smoke and was easily started. The first aircraft was originally at the takeoff point.

At this time, the sea breeze in the Baltic Sea was very strong, and the Goethe-class aircraft carrier turned and turned to the headwind. At the same time, the catapults on the deck were also ready.

"764, ejection takes off." The words of the deck catapult operator came from the headphones. With the sound, Franz felt a huge thrust coming from his back. His body was tightly pressed against the left wing behind, indicating that the plane was accelerating.

At this time, in his back seat, the machine gunner was even more uncomfortable because he was sitting backward. The seat belt strangled the machine gunner's body, and the machine gunner felt the muscles on his face pulling backwards.

No one likes to take off, but this is a must.

The Goethe-class aircraft carrier has a small displacement, limited deck length, and low speed, which cannot guarantee the full load takeoff of carrier-based aircraft. Therefore, Germany's own Goethe-class aircraft carriers are equipped with catapults.

In this era, catapults are not uncommon. Seaplanes equipped on battleships and cruisers take off by catapulting, and the taste is absolutely sour.

However, these warships use hydraulic catapults, while Goethe-class aircraft carriers have begun to be equipped with steam catapult devices. The power of this catapult is greater, making the pilot's feeling even more indescribable.

The German Navy must adapt to catapult takeoff. At the top, it is quite clear why this is. With the continuous advancement of technology, the German Navy will have more advanced aircraft. When the jets are on board, it is definitely a disaster without catapults.

Now, the German Navy is about to adapt to the catapult takeoff, and at the same time, various technical problems related to blocking landing are also being overcome.

As the catapult moved, the fighter advanced at high speed, and the entire deck was filled with steam.

The second, the third, one Stuka bomber with a ton of bombs on its belly, ejected from the deck.

"Next!" The most test at this time is the operational scheduling ability of the personnel on the deck.

At the Earl Zeppelin level with a beveled deck layout, four fighter jets can even take off at the same time, but it is not possible at the current narrow Goethe level. Over the years of operation, the German Navy's operation has become more and more proficient in ejection.

Now, it is the fifth one.

The deck staff hooked Stuka's landing gear on the towing rod. Suddenly, the deck staff slipped under their feet and fell to the ground.

He didn't care to cover his painful butt. His hands touched the extremely smoothness on the deck, and his face changed: "Stop taking off, stop taking off, the deck is frozen."

The temperature here is still very low. Now, during the process of ejection, a part of steam will leak out from the gap above. The steam spreads on the deck, and now there is a thin layer of ice on the deck.

In high latitudes, the problem of catapult freezing must be solved, and now the German Navy has just encountered it for the first time.

The frozen deck will make the takeoff of the plane full of risks. The news quickly reached the bridge. The captain could only give the order to suspend the takeoff and perform de-icing operations on the deck.

On the battleship "Sharenhorst", the fleet commander Brigadier General Frederi Bondy also received the news. He looked at the planes that were already forming over the fleet. Do you want them to wait?

Of course not!

Before the deck freezes, the three aircraft carriers took off twelve Stukas in total. Of course, this is not enough. I wait for the next wave of aircraft to take off. I don’t know when it will be. Since the carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carrier cannot provide enough attack firepower, we will rely on our main fleet to go up and fight!

The confrontation between battleships is the most exciting. Now, Fredrich actually has a faint expectation in his heart.

He was a veteran of World War I. During World War I, he fought at sea for the glory of the German Navy. After World War I, the huge German navy disappeared. He had been wandering and despair. Fortunately, he survived. Now, the strength of the German Navy has filled him with the sense of glory and mission of soldiers.

"Leave two destroyers to protect our aircraft carrier formation, the remaining battleships and cruisers, and advance at a maximum speed!"

In the chimney of the Schanehorst, rolling black smoke emerged. The boiler was burning at maximum power. The powerful steam entered the high-pressure turbine steam engine, pushing the ship to accelerate at sea.

With 160,000 horsepower, the battlecruiser accelerated to a maximum speed of 32 knots. Behind it, Strasbourg is also accelerating.

The flag of Vichy France was hung on this warship. Yes, it was not a German warship, but a French one.

When France was about to be destroyed by Germany, the British Navy launched a sneak attack on the French Navy, which made the French Navy indignant. In that sneak attack, the Strasbourg was also injured. After that, the French Navy retaliated wildly and bombarded Gibraltar, providing firepower support in the war on the mainland of Britain.

Now, the warship followed the German navy into the Baltic Sea and participated in the siege of the Soviet Baltic fleet. For the French soldiers, it was no longer important.

They even fought the British navy, and what else could they not do? They tried their best to fight the Soviets.

The warships were accelerating and heading towards the east at high speed. Above their heads, the Stuka bombers had already flew over them and accelerated towards the east.

Franz sat in his cabin and looked at the hazy land in the distance. At this moment, his heart was full of fighting spirit.

The Soviet Navy, wait for the German Navy to attack.

At this time, in Tallinn, the base of the Baltic Fleet in the Soviet Union, warships had already set sail.

After the war began, the Baltic Fleet entered high alert. Their warships did not turn off at all. The steam in the boiler was kept. Now after receiving the order, they could start as long as they increased their power.

In the port, thick smoke rolled.
