Chapter 613 Forrest-class aircraft carrier

Hamburg is not only the second largest city in Germany, but also the most important seaport and largest foreign trade center in Germany. It is also the second financial center in Germany. It is also an economic and cultural metropolis in northern Germany.

In addition to Seattle, USA, Hamburg is the second largest aircraft manufacturing area in the world and is also the center of news, media and industrial manufacturing in Germany.

There are the North Sea and the Baltic Sea near Hamburg. Seaships can sail along the Elbe River from the North Sea to reach Hamburg. The main road and two branches of the Elbe River run across the city, the Ulster River, the Biel River and hundreds of rivers and small canals form a dense network of rivers and channels throughout the city. Therefore, Hamburg Port is a river and a dual-use port, and has become an important hub for the intermodal transport of rivers and seas, seas and land in Europe.

When Britain and the United States implemented strategic bombings against Germany, four night bombings from July 24 to August 3, 1943, two of which the US Air Force also carried out daytime supplementary bombings.

The British and American troops dispatched more than 17,000 bombers in total, causing 60% of the houses in Hamburg, Germany to be destroyed, and more than 100,000 civilians were killed and injured. This is just the surface number, and the actual number of casualties may be even greater, and more than 5,000 factories were destroyed.

Moreover, during this air strike, the British and American Airlines team first used electronic jamming tactics and dropped a large number of metal aluminum foil strips to interfere with the German radar to reduce the chance of casualties of station damage aircraft.

In short, in the British and American strategic bombing strategy, Hamburg was blown up half of the prosperous areas and became a down-and-out city.

However, after Chen Yanlong traveled and reborn, he temporarily regained the air supremacy of Hamburg and other Germany; the reconstruction of Hamburg is also in full swing.

In particular, the construction of the port new city covering an area of ​​more than 15 square kilometers is even more rapid and intensive, and its appearance is gradually showing the world at a rapid pace.

Moreover, this new city transformed from the former port area is Chen Yanlong's appearance as a port city in later generations, which will extend the city of Hamburg to the north bank of the Elbe River. It is a new city area integrating residence, culture, leisure, tourism and commerce.

It’s a pity that the Elbe Concert Hall is still like a dynamic construction, because Swiss architects Herzog and De Mellon are still like a born.

The world-famous Elbe Concert Hall and Beijing Bird's Nest were designed and built by the two men.

Their company was founded in Basel, Switzerland in 1978, and its headquarters was also established there, so for Chen Yanlong, who is now in 1943, there is no way to find them to build the Elbe Concert Hall for him.

However, Chen Yanlong can hire other architectural designers to carry out construction according to their designs, and Sperer is also a suitable architectural talent.

When Chen Yanlong took Erich Redel on a cruise ship to tour the Hamburg river, he was shocked again, watching the new buildings and reconstruction areas surrounding him in full swing.

Because he unexpectedly, the Hamburg, which was once bombed by British and American air forces, was about to become half a ruined city, could be rebuilt and gradually restored by Chen Yanlong in such a short period of time, and it seemed to be more beautiful and novel than the original hamburger.

"My Head! Are these reconstructions your order?"

Erich Redel, who was shocked for the second time, stared at Chen Yanlong with gratitude. Although he resigned angrily because of a quarrel with Hitler, he was also deeply angry, heartbroken, but powerless about the strategic bombing of the British and American air force in the German Cup that damaged many urban buildings.

Because he still has the blood of the German Empire in his bones and is a pure German, he is still full of patriotism; and he was once a German marshal, so he was deeply touched by Hamburg, one of the most important ports in Germany.

"Yes! I am the head of the empire, how can I let my people suffer disaster?"

"Although my leadership is unscrupulous, the British and American Airlines team has an opportunity to take advantage of, bombing many of our cities and killing and injuring a large number of civilians. I have no way to change such a cruel fact; but I still have to find a way to improve the situation after the war!"

In response, Chen Yanlong responded while gazing at the scenery on both sides of the Hamburg River.

As he finished saying this, a cool breeze that made people feel deeply chilled came towards him instantly, making Chen Yanlong tighten his clothes.

"My head of state, you have changed, and you have become a lot of people!"

"Thank you for your concern and help to the citizens of Hamburg!"

Seeing this, Erich Redell said to Chen Yanlong in a tone of gratitude for the first time.

"Well! This is what I should do, you're welcome!"

"Okay! It's time for us to go to our aircraft carrier fleet, and we can see the scenery of Hamburg!"

Hearing this, Chen Yanlong smiled slightly, stared at Erich Redel and said with a smile.

Because in order to communicate with Erich Redel and improve the atmosphere of conflict between them, Chen Yanlong pulled the other party on a cruise ship, under the protection of a large number of guards, he visited the scenery of Hamburg with Erich Redel, and chatted with love cards.

Erich Redel didn't care about Chen Yanlong's approach at the beginning; and he didn't say much about the citizens in response to Chen Yanlong's inquiry.

But when he discovered that the reconstruction of the hamburger was underway and was changing rapidly, the road gradually did not continue to neglect Chen Yanlong, but instead had a significant change in his attitude towards the other party and became better.

"Okay! I'm also curious about the appearance of the aircraft carrier fleet that the Head of State gave me? And I also want to know if the aircraft carrier fleet that excited and excited Marshal Denitz and Marshal Hithofen is really so exciting!"

Shortly after the speech, Erich Redell responded with curiosity.

"You will see it soon. The aircraft carrier fleet I gave you is in the North Sea."

Chen Yanlong said with a bright smile.

Soon, the cruise ship they were on arrived at the mouth of the North Sea, where the German aircraft carrier fleet was parked.

The 60,000-ton Forest-class aircraft carrier CVA59 Forest and CVA60 Saratoga instantly came into Erich Redel's eyes.

"This... my god! My head! When did you have such a huge aircraft carrier fleet? How could I know nothing as the former Marshal of the Navy!"

Looking at the two huge Forest-class aircraft carriers in front of him, Erich Redell was stunned for the third time and exclaimed in shock.

Especially when he saw that the two flight decks were arranged with steam catapults for the first time, with a mixed arrangement of steam catapults, and the first aircraft carriers specially designed and built to match jet aircraft, and a large fleet of fleets were arranged, his expression was even more wonderful, and his mouth was so wide that it almost fell to the ground, and his eyes were even more exaggerated.

Because at this moment Erich Redell felt as if he was in a dream and could not extricate himself.

"Am I dreaming?"

Finally, Erich Redel murmured to himself in disbelief.

Because he has been a German navy for so long, he has never seen Germany have such a powerful and powerful aircraft carrier fleet appear.

At the same time, it was also at this moment that he finally understood why when Denitz and Marshal Hithofen mentioned Chen Yanlong and equipped them with the aircraft carrier fleet, they were so excited, so excited, and so roiled with praise...
