Chapter 85 The Importance of Aircraft Carriers
Cialek, who destroyed Rolls-Royce's company, is now very accomplished. The team he led has completed the main tasks to the UK. Next, Cialek does not need to come forward, and representatives of various companies who come with him will complete the following matters.
At the same time, the personnel of various companies that will come in the future will also buy goods in the British market. In addition to the automobile industry, the shipbuilding industry is also valued by Cialek.
Now, the UK is still in the midst of the economic crisis, and shipyards are seriously insufficient to start construction. Some small shipyards are in danger of bankruptcy and can buy their production equipment at the lowest price!
When Clyric came to Clydebane, Scotland, he still sighed at the empty scene in the shipyard.
Cialek knew that in just a few months, a new warship, the Ark Royal aircraft carrier, will be started here!
This is an aircraft carrier with a displacement of more than 20,000 tons, a high-freeboard ship type, three-axis and two-rudder.
In order to pursue speed, the aspect ratio of Japanese and American aircraft carriers usually reaches 8 to 10, while the Royal Ark is only 7.2, which makes the stability better. At the same time, the closed bow is more suitable for the harsh sea conditions of the North Atlantic.
From the island country, Cialek obtained all the design drawings of the island country's aircraft carrier, but the island country's aircraft carrier drawings were not completely in line with the construction of Germany.
The most direct thing is the different environment. The sea conditions in the North Atlantic are quite harsh. In comparison, the Pacific Ocean is like a pond.
If only I could poach some aircraft carrier designers from here! Cialis was consciously tracing. Such things are hard to come by, and it is difficult to find.
In the Eastern world, there is a personality cult. Each design bureau is named after the chief designer. Any excellent weapon system can always immediately tell which designer's proud work is. However, the West is different. Here we pay more attention to collective power.
So, Cialek racked his brains and couldn't think of who the designer of the Royal Ark was. Moreover, this kind of aircraft carrier would definitely not be able to be handled by one or two people, it could only be completed by a huge team.
Of course, it would be pretty good if you could find one or two core characters!
However, even if the designer was not poached, the design drawings of the Akagi and German craftsmen could be used to complete the manufacturing of the aircraft carrier! Thinking of this, Cialis was once again full of enthusiasm.
Without an aircraft carrier, Germany would definitely not win this war!
After completing the British shopping, Cialis did not set off for the United States immediately. Another thing that allowed Cialis to stay in Germany temporarily.
Disputes about aircraft carriers.
With the disappearance of the stormtroopers, the German Wehrmacht finally truly obeyed Hitler's orders, and at the same time, the construction of the army began to develop in great strides.
At this time, the debate gradually became fierce on the navy.
Does the Navy need to build more battleships or some aircraft carriers?
"Cialique, you're back." Hitler was very happy after seeing Cialique in Berlin: "Our navy is arguing about aircraft carriers."
Of course Hitler knew that Cirick was a supporter of the aircraft carrier. Otherwise, why did he go to the island country to spend a lot of money to buy all the aircraft carrier technology of the island country's Akagi?
But now, many senior naval personnel are skeptical about building aircraft carriers. Is it useful to build aircraft carriers when funds are limited?
"If we want to convince our senior personnel, it's best to tell them with a living example." Cialick said: "Goring, don't know if our Air Force has confidence?"
Hearing Cialique's question, Golin nodded immediately: "Of course there is no problem!"
This matter had nothing to do with the Air Force, and it was a debate within the Navy. In particular, although Goering wanted to interfere in the aircraft carrier, it seemed very difficult now.
But, no matter what, Gorene held a strong desire, and he longed to make the Air Force perform better, and now, the opportunity has come!
Use five He51 aircraft to simulate attack on the Deutsche! When he heard this news, Goring thought it was Cialick who wanted to see the Air Force, but later Goring understood that this happened to be the time when the Air Force performed!
If five aircraft can destroy the Germans, what does that mean? The warships built by the Navy spends much effort and a lot of money are useless at all! As long as this kind of aircraft with a fraction of the cost of a warship can destroy them!
Therefore, the country's military expenditure must be tilted towards the Air Force! The navy burns money, and it is useless!
Goering was originally ace pilot in the first battle. Now, he personally led the team to study the advantages and disadvantages of German-class air defense firepower. He had already studied it thoroughly and formulated a series of tactics.
"Okay, then we'll be in the North Sea and conduct this simulation exercise." Cialek said: "We'll know soon if the plane is useful."
The wind and waves in the North Sea were a bit big, and huge waves slapped on the hull of the Deutschland. This 10,000-ton ironclad ship was shaking gently with the waves at this time.
Due to the lack of side arc in the front of the hull, the waves are severe when sailing against the waves. Waves are constantly surging up, wetting the front end.
Eight MAN diesel engines are running at full speed at this time. Each 4 diesel engines drive a transmission shaft, vibrating a bit violently, and the entire hull is making a buzzing sound.
At this time, the German naval officers and soldiers were already on guard. In this storm, they firmly guarded their positions, especially the anti-aircraft artillery soldiers, staring at the sky in the semi-open artillery positions.
The battle will begin at any time.
Inside the bridge, Hitler sat by a porthole, and the violent bumps made him feel a little uncomfortable.
"Chief, if you are uncomfortable, you can go downstairs." said Cyric.
Originally, I planned to observe on another ship, but the stubborn naval generals had to think that since they wanted to simulate real combat, the warships had to sail at full speed. Otherwise, would the warships have to wait quietly on the sea to bomb?
This requirement of the Navy is not an exaggeration. After all, warships are quite large, and a warship of ten thousand tons is not easy to operate! At the same time, only when the speed increases will the maneuverability be high!
To avoid a bomb falling from the sky, you only need a full rudder on the left or a full rudder on the right! However, this requires the warship to move forward at full speed!
Therefore, the navy's request was passed, and another problem is that the high-speed German class can rush to 28 knots! And few other warships in the German navy can do it.
So, there is no other way, it is all that is to be on the German level. This is also good. Feeling the bomb falling from the sky and being in the scene makes it easier to reverse their thoughts!
