The Navy recently sent Akado a good news. The aircraft carrier was successfully launched and had conducted tests such as wind and wave resistance in the North Sea. The elite German naval pilots completed the mission ahead of schedule. As the aircraft carrier went to sea for the first time, they completed the sea takeoff and landing test. It seems that they have been suppressed for a long time. Since the last time he sank in Britain, the German Navy has been waiting for its rise for too long.
The Washington Navy Treaty eventually became a piece of paper because of the Soviet actions. In order to deal with the Soviet battleship threat, Japan began to build Yamato-class super battleships; the British were not willing to be outdone and directly purchased two Pesme-class battleships from Germany, and the country also began to build the second sister ship of the Hood-class battleship.
The US Navy has also begun its own battleship completion plan, and Italy is desperately building a new Victor-class battleship - of course, Germany has also launched its own super naval main combat weapon: an aircraft carrier.
Germany's Zeppelin-class aircraft carriers had two total ships, and were launched almost at the same time. The first ship's hull number 001 was named Zeppelin; the second ship's hull number 002 was named the Pesme. The ship's length was 275 meters and its width was 44 meters.
The full load displacement of both aircraft carriers was 28,000 tons, which was considered the largest among aircraft carriers in 1935. Moreover, both aircraft carriers used closed decks and closed hangars, which ensured that fighter jets were well stored under harsh weather conditions in the North Atlantic.
With a huge straight flight deck, island bridge, and a single chimney integrated with the bridge, the German aircraft carrier is infinitely close to the shape of later aircraft carriers in every design. Except for the two elevators located in the center of the aircraft carrier flight deck, it can be said to be a standard future aircraft carrier.
The ship was not equipped with any large-caliber artillery, and only 12 Bofos anti-aircraft guns were equipped on both sides as air defense weapons. The remaining space was left to fuel and aircraft ammunition depots. However, due to the lack of armor protection, the ship used a large number of watertight capsules to stop losses, so the tonnage was increased.
Both aircraft carriers are equipped with 35 naval fw-190d fighters that can fold the wings, 28 Stuka dive bombers that can fold the wings, 4 reconnaissance fw-190 aircraft, and one backup aircraft each, with a total loading of 70 aircraft racks.
Compared with the British aircraft carriers in the same period, German aircraft carriers have no advantages in data that are worth boasting about. The Royal Ark aircraft carrier that the UK is building is only 20,000 tons of full load displacement, but can be equipped with 60 aircraft.
This is the consequence of the mass production of German aircraft carriers. In order to pursue shipbuilding speed, the German Navy standardized many hull structures and parts, which caused many warships to use standard civilian equipment and parts, which wasted a lot of space and weight, which was also a compromise between quantity and mass.
The disadvantage of compromise is that the aircraft carrier's protection capability has decreased and its combat capability is average, but the benefits are also obvious: it only took more than a year for these two aircraft carriers to be built to be installed in the water and finally to be able to go to sea to fight. The British Ark Royal aircraft carrier, which started construction at the same time, is still lying in the dock.
As the two aircraft carriers got off the water, the German Navy's new high seas fleet was immediately formed. Admiral Redell personally commanded the fleet, with 2 aircraft carriers, 4 cruisers and 8 large ocean destroyers. This fleet was tested in the North Sea, and Redell seemed to have recovered the years when the German high seas fleet covered the sky and the sun on the North Sea.
The hulls made in segments of the other two aircraft carriers were immediately sent to the dock. The shipyard engineer proudly told the naval technicians that the German Navy could own two identical aircraft carriers in less than 10 months, and that time the German Navy would become a daunting military force in the North Sea.
Akado personally praised the shipbuilding engineers and workers at Kiel Port, and encouraged them to continue to produce various warships of the German Navy. Replaced Raidel who went out to sea in the military port was Major General Deniz, the deputy commander of the Navy. He made systematic plans for the German Navy in his plan to Akado.
In the next three years, the German Navy will become a huge navy with 6 aircraft carriers, 18 cruisers, 33 ocean destroyers, 60 other defensive escort destroyers, and 170 submarines of various types. Once these warships are equipped, the navy will use submarine wolves tactics to tear the British maritime supply line, and then the fleet will use aircraft carrier-based aircraft to completely destroy the British Royal Navy in one fell swoop.
This ambitious future naval development plan is a bit ridiculous. If the navy is equipped with such a large fleet, then the German army will have to conquer the world with trolleys - the air force is even more pitiful, because trolleys cannot fly.
In fact, in Akado's plan, Germany had 4 aircraft carriers and a sufficient number of escort ships when the war started, which was already considered a blessing for Germany by gods and Buddhas. If the war was not right, it would break out in the next year. At that time, the navy could fight immediately. The only two aircraft carriers in its hands might be the only ones in its hands.
To be honest, it is really unsure whether the navy's surface power can win. Maybe it will take German submarines to stabilize the long coastline. Because the combat capability of the naval aviation remains to be tested so far. This is a systematic project, and it is not done just by moving land aircraft onto an aircraft carrier.
Germany developed a dedicated anti-ship aviation bomb for the Navy Stuka, equipped with delayed fuses, but its actual effect has not been tested. As a land dive bomber, Stuka can be considered a good design, but the sea dive attack warship is a dangerous and crazy move, so Akado did not expect Stuka to have much combat effectiveness; the torpedo was launched by the multi-functional FW-190 fighter, so naval fighter pilots must be regularly trained to deploy torpedo attack warships. In this way, the attack ability of the naval aviation on maritime targets can only be estimated according to the general purpose, and the size of the battle results is difficult to plan in advance.
After the Navy finished speaking, it was about to go to see the Air Force. After explaining the task of training the submarine force to Denitz, Akado rushed to Ludwig, which was an important production base of Farbourne.
Because he rejected Krupp's train gun project, Akado urgently needed to find a weapon for his army that could keep up with the pace, which would be used to deal with France and the Soviet Union's fortress defense system. If he did not have the right weapons to use, these fortresses could become an insurmountable super defense line for the German army.
When designing the scam of the Dora Cannon King, Akado remembered the strong fortress on the Crimean Peninsula of the Soviet Union. The Germans used train cannons to barely cut it down. Now that the train cannons are gone, it undoubtedly became the cemetery of the German team.
Akado was not a complete military fan in his previous life. If you told him about the T34 tank or the Bersmese battleship, he would definitely be able to chat with you for a day...and if you told him about the kwk30l/55ausf.a-f, he would never guess that it was the code number of a German 20mm caliber shell.
His understanding of weapons to attack enemy fortresses is still on the train cannons during World War II and the ground drilling weapons after the Gulf War: it seems unlikely that the German Air Force will develop ground drilling weapons now, and the railway cannon that is exhausting the people and the money-losing Arcado has also denied it. So he had to think hard in the office and rack his brains to provide ideas for the fortress' offensive and defensive war.
Finally, he and his technical consultants came up with two alternatives: one was to use heavy bombs to destroy these fortresses, so he ordered German designers to develop super aviation bombs weighing 3 tons for future air force heavy bombers; the other was to use flame burning to solve the enemies in the fortress, and he planned to use later napalm bombs to clear the personnel in the fortress.
After discussion by Air Force professionals, it was finally decided to give priority to the development of napalm bombs and it was more safe to do so. After all, Germany's four-round heavy strategic bomber is still in the secret test flight stage, and it is obviously not worth the effort to develop a more immature special weapon for an immature weapon.
Recently, Faben, the leader of German chemical companies, has finally successfully developed a new type of incendiary bomb based on a clue provided by the head of state. This new weapon has been named napalm bomb by the head of state. This weapon is produced using raw materials such as polystyrene and gasoline, and its power can be regarded as huge.
The napalm that splashes on people after the napalm bomb explodes is like lard cream, which is sticky and resistant to burning. If a person uses his hands to slap the fire, the bigger the fire. If he rolls on the ground to put out the fire, it will cause fire all over his body. And once there is more fire on people, the people around him should try to stay away from the catching fire, because the catching fire struggle can easily throw the burning oil on others to form a secondary killing effect.
A chemistry doctor in the laboratory advised Akado: "For humanitarian reasons, it is recommended that the life of the firer be ended with a gun. Because the victims of napalm bombs can be said to be the greatest relief."
The napalm bomb developed by Germany also adds white phosphorus to it. After the human epidermis burns, a large amount of highly toxic chemicals will remain, which enters the blood through the open wound on the burn wound, causing blood poisoning of the injured. The burn surface is generally purple or blue-black.
Another practical but dangerous effect of burning gasoline bombs is that it will "quickly consume oxygen in nearby air" and produce a large amount of carbon monoxide, causing biological suffocation, which usually occurs when used in bombs.
