If you don't count those slow warships, the German high seas fleet can reach more than 24 knots, which is at least 40 kilometers per hour. The torpedo aircraft's cruise speed with ammunition is 80 kilometers per hour. Including the 50 kilometers distance between each other, even a straight line flight. Well, if the Germans insist on leaving, maybe the Germans had already run out of the opponent's attack before the British carrier-based aircraft launched an attack...

"There is no way, this is the best result. Our tactical system and equipment performance limit our combat effectiveness unless we can get more support from the land-based aviation force." Betty said helplessly.

"This can only be said to be done to do my best. I am also unsure of how much support I can get." Jericho said. In fact, although the British's national strength has been transferred to the military industry as the war continues, the British's situation has not been good since the beginning of this year. Taking the Navy and Air Force as an example, Jericho has clearly felt that Britain is somewhat powerless.

After cutting off a large number of training and patrol missions, the fuel reserves of the British large fleet did rise, but the cost was also obvious. The large fleet almost became an existing fleet. If you do not conduct sea training and patrol for a long time, the combat effectiveness and morale of the fleet will also decline.

Another feeling is that although the number of aircraft has increased, the proportion of aircraft composition has changed significantly. The proportion of single-engine aircraft and fighter aircraft has increased significantly. The v1500 bomber is already in the low-speed production stage, and the proportion of bombers such as FB27 and O-400 in newly produced aircraft is also declining.

The reduction in the proportion of attack aircraft and bombers means that the entire battle situation has changed from offensive to defensive. In order to cope with the increasing pressure on the Western Front, the British have had to start putting fighters and single-engine aircraft in the most important position. After all, the cost of an FB27 bomber is equal to three DH9a, and if it is fought at close range, the DH9a is obviously better.

In the past two months, the changes in aviation production in the UK have been very small, and it can be said that it is close to the zenith. Perhaps because winter is about to enter, the two sides will quit, and the number of aircraft ownership will increase, but it may be difficult to make another leap like before.

If it falls to the reality of the Royal Navy, that is, the number of twin-engine aircraft is almost the same as at the beginning of the year, and the number of four-engine bombers is smaller than that at the beginning of the year. In addition, the re-establishment of the North Sea blockade line, the number of twin-engine and four-engine aircraft that can be used for the Royal Navy is probably even smaller. Therefore, in fact, there are not many shore-based bombers that can be directly mobilized by Jericho. This also means that it is probably not realistic to rely on the dock-based strike force to sea.

"Actually, if possible, I hope to build an aircraft carrier with a 20,000-ton hull and design a two-layer hangar on the aircraft carrier. The aircraft carrier's flight deck is about 200 meters long and the width is about 27 meters. In this way, we can even increase the number of aircraft carriers to more than 80, and a single aircraft carrier can release more than 30 aircraft." Betty said intentionally.

"Wait until the war is over. Even if we have the right warships to modify now, we don't have enough time. If I guess correctly, the war will be announced before September next year! We will have less than a year at most." Jericho said.

Overall, Betty's plan generally solved the tactical problems of the Royal Navy Air Force, but neither Jericho nor Betty, who designed this set of tactics, was actually not very clear... The scale of the carrier-based aviation was still too small, and from the timetable, even if the other two aircraft carriers were completed as planned, the British Navy probably didn't have much time to train. You should know that the Bavarian Air Force had prepared for at least 5 years for the issue of how to operate carrier-based aircraft efficiently! And the British were really too hasty.

"By the way, the Luftwaffe also has rich experience in attacking seas. Will they also be building their own aircraft carrier?" At this moment, Thomas, who had not spoken much, made Jericho and Betty present jump in their hearts. The so-called judging others by themselves, the Germans may not be able to think of what the British can think of. So what is the situation with the German aircraft carrier now?

"So far, we have not found any traces of German aircraft carriers. If they are done now, they should at least enter the North Sea through the Kiel Canal, but judging from the current situation, they have not found it." Jericho thought for a while and said.

What Jericho did not expect was that two German aircraft carriers have been completely completed, and they have indeed entered the North Sea for adaptive navigation. The British discovered it, but when they saw the German aircraft carrier, they did not think that this was a warship.

The upper hangar of the German aircraft carrier adopts an open layout. To put it bluntly, this layout is a pile of shelves with steel plates and teak boards as flight decks. On the side of the hangar is a rolling gate, which is pulled down to form a hangar. When pulled up, it can be ventilated and warmed up. The two aircraft carriers did not have a flight deck when passing through the Kiel Canal, and the rolling gate on the side is also closed, so the causal intelligence personnel regard it as a transport ship rather than a warship!

"We don't need to scare ourselves. Although the German aircraft are also very good, so far, no large aircraft carriers have been found. An excellent aircraft carrier cannot be hidden. They are at least the size of armored cruisers. So far, neither Keel nor Wilhelmshaven have seen such a warship." Jericho said to Thomas, and seemed to comfort himself.

"But we have to be on guard," said Betty on the side. "If possible, I feel that we can increase the number of DH9a aircraft, we can improve it, reduce structural strength, and use it as a fighter. This aircraft can now fly to 200 kilometers per hour, and has up to five and a half hours of air stagnation, which is enough for us who are fighting in the North Sea."

The north-south sea is only 900 kilometers long, and the east-west width is only 600 kilometers wide. If the DH9a reduces weight and carries a secondary fuel tank, then when it comes to the base on the east coast of the UK, it is not said to attack the sea, but at least it is absolutely possible to be used for air combat. Perhaps this aircraft cannot beat the J-3 fighter jet in the air, but with its strong firepower and high speed, it is still good to deal with heavy-load attack aircraft.

"Okay, I'll do my best." Jericho said helplessly. At this point, the basic plate of the British Navy at the end of the war has been locked, and the British and German navy are accumulating strength for the final battle!
