"Is that true? General Betty also has experience with the aviation force? So good, let me tell me it." Sir Fisher still attaches great importance to Betty, although the latter can't stand his battlecruiser.&1t;/p>

"He means whether we can build a sea airport. What's different from a seaplane is that our planes do not need to be fitted with pontoons, but take off and land directly on a flat deck like an airport. We can place more than a dozen or even dozens of planes on a warship like this. The upper deck is a runway for takeoff and landing, and the hangar below is used to store and repair the planes." Jericho explained a general idea that Betty had privately told him.&1t;/p>

"This kind of warship can sail near the port of the German fleet under the cover of the large fleet, and then take off the plane to bomb, or carry torpedoes and bombs to attack the German fleet when the main forces of the two sides are fighting. We have tried taking off and landing on the flat deck, and now all we need is this warship and enough pilots." Jericho said.&1t;/p>

"Can take off and land on a warship? This can only be a game for the brave. This requires very high technology. Imagine operating a deck less than 30 meters wide to land with a wing spread of more than 12 meters. And there are other aircraft waiting to take off and land on the deck, which makes people feel a little scared. Moreover, how these aircraft operate and how to make full use of the small space to release as many aircraft as possible in an attack are all questionable. Perhaps the Navy can build such a warship soon. But if it wants to form combat power, it may take a long time." Lieutenant General Trenchard said. He named the key to the problem in one sentence. It is not difficult to take off and recycle dozens of aircraft at once, but it is too difficult to take off and recover dozens of aircraft at once. At least he dare not think so.&1t;/p>

"I have a very creative idea. I will support this suggestion, but we can't use it at the moment. This is a system problem. We need to consider how big the boat we use, what kind of aircraft we carry, and for training." Churchill nodded, agreeing first, but at the same time he also expressed no help to the current plan...&1t;/p>

The entire meeting lasted for nearly 4 hours. The two sides made a rough deduction on the action plan and arrangements for the air strike against Wilhelmshaven, and at the same time planned the required troops. There were differences in this regard. According to Lieutenant General Trenchard's intention, concentrate troops to take advantage of the Germans' lack of defense and steal a wave. After all, both sides are basically at the same level. If you run so far away to their hometown to make trouble, you can do it once and a few more times, then once the other party is prepared, you will really be in trouble. Churchill's meaning is to suppress it all the time.&1t;/p>

"If our attacks cannot sustainably and effectively destroy Wilhelmshaven and affect their recovery progress, then our situation in the North Sea will not change fundamentally. We need to use aircraft to force them to be unable to estimate the North Sea battlefield in the next few months. This is a strategic goal and cannot be changed!" Churchill finally emphasized.&1t;/p>

After Lieutenant General Trenchard left, Churchill summoned Betty and asked about the details of this kind of warship that could take off the plane normally. He had a premonition that perhaps, in addition to the battleships of the navy, there might be a brand new warship!&1t;/p>

"We need aircraft that take off and land normally. Seaplanes can only solve the problem or not, and cannot effectively wield the combat effectiveness of the aircraft. The Germans also equipped a large number of seaplanes as reconnaissance aircraft, aligned launchers and fighters. In this homogeneous competition, our advantages are not obvious, so we need to develop a brand new warship to completely overwhelm the opponent. The large fleet needs at least 30 fighters that take off normally and more than 20 reconnaissance aircraft to be barely enough." Betty said when meeting Churchill.&1t;/p>

"Of course, if one day we can directly attack the German fleet through take-off and landing torpedo aircraft, it would be even better. No matter how fast the German warships run, they will not run faster than the plane. And once the number of such warships increases, we can block the Germans in the port under the cover of the large fleet, and then use torpedoes and bombers to attack the German fleet at close range. And this is completely possible. We already have a motive of more than 30 horsepower, and it is not impossible for a single plane to carry torpedoes!" Betty also checked the information before meeting Churchill!&1t;/p>

"This warship should be more than 180 meters long and as high as possible. Although ordinary aircraft nowadays can take off by laying a piece of wooden board on the turret, our planes will be equipped with torpedoes after all! The long deck as possible will help us to put the opponents of the aircraft that are not too late to be sent into the hangar in the front of the deck when we are receiving the aircraft. And it will help us release as many aircraft as possible to attack as possible. Just imagine, if we can concentrate 3O attack aircraft carrying torpedoes to strike a certain point in the German fleet when the main battleships of both sides are in battle, then this will definitely be subversive to the situation!" Betty once again used his eloquence to show the prospect of the naval aviation before Churchill.&1t;/p>

"Is the 18o-meter-long deck? The length of the warship is probably 2o-meters." Churchill said, touching his chin. This matter is not easy to deal with. As the saying goes, it is said that one can understand one's own business. Although Churchill is a civil servant, he also knows that it is very difficult to start a warship with a large tonnage and a not-so-clear use during the war. Budget and manpower are both problems.&1t;/p>

"We can use high-end merchant ships or cruise ships to transform them." Betty said to Churchill's bitter face. He knew that the other party was really moved, but seemed to be unable to do so. Betty also knew that the Royal Navy's shipyard was very heavy. Without free time to produce such a large ship, this is different from the situation in history when the Royal Navy was rich and easy to do. The situation in the North Sea could be overturned at any time. In this case, the Royal Navy's production task was very heavy!&1t;/p>

"Is it a high cruise? I'm afraid this is even more impossible, do you know? All our overseas troops and important materials are transported by high fleets. The German submarines are too powerful. We don't want a torpedo to kill a regiment." Churchill smiled bitterly.&1t;/p>

In short, the current situation is that the British have begun to consider the so-called aircraft carriers, but compared with the German Navy where time travelers are in charge, they cannot compare with them in terms of theory, preparation, or importance. Of course, more importantly, it may be too late to go in time. Who knows whether the war was over when this aircraft carrier came out? The history of the navy is about to open a new page. The god of war needs more sacrifices!&1t;/p>
