.The Third Reich under the Ten Thousand Characters Volume 5: Battle of Britain Chapter 59: German Navy

My round head. According to the previous plan of the Commander, the number of COSCO aircraft in the Battle of the Continental Campaign met the basic requirements. According to the verification by the Commander, the most urgent thing on the Western Front was the surface ships. Given that the relevant allies sent their own battleships, our first and second fleets were basically completed. Although the naval ships mobilized were basically in place, the surface ships were still insufficient."

After Keitel said that, he sighed secretly in his heart. The Third German Empire has never been a maritime power. The limitations of the domain here are actually more because of the lack of resources. Germany has never lacked technological strength. He is afraid that no matter how advanced the technology is, he cannot build more ships.

During World War I, Germany vigorously developed its navy. Unfortunately, although Germany had the opportunity to become a maritime power, it missed because the national resources were not allowed. After the failure of Germany in World War I, those ships that did not sink in the war were either sunk themselves or were dragged back by the Allies at that time as spoils. This caused the German Navy to suffer a severe blow. This severe blow was not only material, but also spiritual.

"Although it started in 30 years, some aspiring people represented by your family strongly supported the construction of the navy. After conquering Poland in three years, they mobilized a large number of resources to build ships and naval construction to a leap forward. Unfortunately, the development of the German navy was still too late. In the ten-year plan, we expected to build more than six large battleships. Due to time constraints, only two were built. Among them, the "Smai" was damaged in the Battle of the North Sea and could not be put into use a month ago..."

Perhaps, it is just that, Xu Yang should vigorously adhere to the construction of aircraft carriers rather than wasting resources and funds to build any battleships. However, people in that era could not understand the position of battleships in the hearts of governments and people at that time.

At that time, the aircraft carrier was still a new thing, whether it was the government, the citizens, or even the navy, it felt that it was just a toy that could carry aircraft. Most people did not recognize the value of this new thing. This mentality lasted for a long time. Even if the aircraft carrier reflected its price, it was deliberately ignored.

Since its birth, the battleship has become the darling of the navy with its thick armor and strong firepower. All countries love it in language.

Now, all countries in the world compare the number of battleships owned by each country to compare the combat effectiveness of the navies of each country. If there is no warship, it is a "country without a navy". From this point of view, it is enough to illustrate the position of warships in people's minds.

Of course, Xu Yang wanted to build aircraft carriers on a large scale and related heavy cruisers and light cruisers destroyers. After all, this is the best combat formation that was fought bloody on the cruel battlefield. The problem is that some things are not something that can be done just by wanting. Germany is located in central Europe. It should be the domain with the least resources. The resources here are difficult to support the construction of the German army and the air force. Where can I get the extra resources to set up a navy?

The Navy coach Redel stood up with some difficulty. He spent his whole life serving the German Navy. No one here wants the German Navy to become stronger than him! But the facts are always cruel. He longs for the navy to be strong but understands the current situation of his country. Under a contradictory mentality, he has always taken the initiative to make concessions to the army and the air force.

As an old man who had fought for the German army for half his life, the feeling made Raider feel so painful but forced himself to smile and say: "For the German country!"

Keitel found that Redel's face was not right and speechless, and he paused. He saw Redel's face was pale and his forehead was covered with sweat. He was obviously enduring a strong pain. He looked at Redel with a questioning expression.

Of course, the generals of the round generals also noticed this situation. However, they could not ask anything in this atmosphere. They turned their eyes to the silent "My round head". They all used their eyes to express whether they could temporarily rest.

Although Xu Yang showed extremely iron-blooded, he was not an inhumane round head. He stood up and walked towards Redel, bent down and asked in a low voice in Redel's ear.

Redel suddenly shook his head and nodded again. Then he forced a smile to his colleagues present and stood up.

I don’t know what Xu Yang said to Redel. Redel got up and walked over and whispered to Kettle. Finally, he went back to his seat and sat down.

Kettle seemed to have become more emotional in an instant. He nodded to Redel for some reason and even reported that he had returned to his seat.

Redell said in a hoarse voice: "My round head. Dear colleagues. I will continue to report the report on the Navy."

He walked towards the podium steadily without seeing any documents Redel was holding. After nodding to everyone...

"As an old man who has devoted his half life to the German Navy, thank you for your name. I will report to all my colleagues in the command to the state power of the former German Navy."

Xu Yang took the lead in raising his hands and applauding. The smile on his face was filled with relief.

The generals were stunned and applauded one after another.

Applause comes in such a serious meeting

It was a bit unreasonable. But they didn't feel it was wrong. Instead, they fought against the palms of their hands.

This is the soldiers’ understanding of a handsome man and also respects him from the bottom of their hearts.

"As Keitel said that the German Navy has a ten-year plan. In this plan, Germany is expected to build two large-scale battleships of the "Smai" class, two large-scale battleships of the "Scher" class, two small-scale battleships of the "German" class, and three front fearless ships of the "German" class."

"In addition, before the war, z planned to build six Hindenburg-class battleships 3O-class battleships 12P-class pocket battleships. Currently, the German Navy has a total of the "Smai"-class warships that have joined the service. They are the "Smai" and the "Tirbiz". The "Smai" fought bravely in the battle of the North Sea. The "Warrior" and three small British ships that hit the sinking country were damaged. They are currently under emergency repairs."

"Our ten-year plan also includes two Hindenburg"-class battleships. This class of battleships is thicker and more powerful than the "S"-class battleships. Due to some technical and selective issues in the caliber of the gun, their date that should have been in service for 3 years was delayed to 4. Happily, they are still catching up with the tail of the Battle of Britain."

Speaking of this, Redell released a cheerful smile, as if he was relieved by the upcoming proud spirit.

"It must be noted that ships are not the whole of the ten-year plan. In our plan to round the heads, the construction of battleships is necessary, not necessary. Battleships have the effect of deterrence and boosting national morale. I personally fully agree with the statement of rounding heads after watching aircraft carriers at sea."

Xu Yang was stunned when he heard this. Why did he seem to be a little complaining about Redel?

"From the many exercises in the past and a rare actual combat war, the most valuable thing in the ten-year plan is the construction plan of four aircraft carriers. As an old man who has been fighting for the navy for half his life, I was completely shocked when I saw the way of combat the aircraft carriers and the results they achieved. It was a novel and unimaginable new type of warship. Although it did not have large-caliber artillery and did not have the speed of being proud of it, its birth completely overturned the law of winning the past "large-caliber artillery"."

"In the ten-year plan, Germany always has plans to build aircraft carriers. They are the USS Zeppelin, the USS Seedlitz, the aircraft carrier "Bavaria", and the USS Prussian aircraft carrier. I personally think that if the conditions permitted are met, the navy should build or modify it, so that Germany has more aircraft carriers and carrier-based aviation. According to the strong combat effectiveness and flexibility shown by the aircraft carrier, it can be imagined that they will determine the outcome of the future naval battle."

Xu Yang saw that Redel had a "surge" trend and did not stand up and interrupt: "My Yuanshuai. We will have more mothers. The premise is that you first explain to Yuanshuai and Generals how much power the German Navy currently has."

It must be noted that Reel's understanding of aircraft carriers is completely correct. Unfortunately, although Germany has the desire to build more aircraft carriers, it does not have enough resources.

"Okay. I will make a detailed plan in the report about this." Redell blinked a little a little. He finally remembered that it was not a good time to express his opinion. Instead, he was holding a military meeting: "We currently have two aircraft carriers, two battleships, three pocket warships, and two armored ships. Their data are detailed in the documents in your hands."

"The number of German Navy's surface ships has increased. Some of them come from various defeated countries. At present, our army has 3 "Admiral Hippel" class heavy cruisers. 3 "Emden" class light cruisers. 1 "Nuremberg" class light cruisers. 1 "Leipzig" class light cruisers. 18. Auxiliary cruisers. 2 "Auxiliary cruisers" class destroyers. Improved "z" class destroyers and frigates 8. Lightning strike ships 105. Minesweeping 350..."

A series of ship names were spoken in his mouth. He said it as he knew everything. The expression on his face also changed from pain to excitement and relief.

In fact, most of the people here don’t understand naval warfare at all. Then they don’t understand what the name and model of the ship represents.

Some generals who didn't know the navy heard the names and numbers of so many ships appearing in the mouth of the navy chief. They all thought to themselves: "I don't know how many warships there are in the UK..."

Well, no, no, after Redell's familiar description and explanation, they seemed to feel that the difficulty of logging into the British III seemed to be a little lower. Is there a little bit of protection for the logistics supply after successfully logging in?

"Of course. We also have the support of allies. Italy is also a maritime power..."
