Chapter 1094 Super Ferocious Z Plan 2
The great head of state unceremoniously vented his anger on the innocent leader of the navy. Marshal Redell, who was in charge, was silent and willing to be criticized. However, Denitz was a straightforward guy and retorted without fear: "Dear head of state! Our navy has been rebuilt for too short! And the support we received is obviously not enough!"
Hum? Someone dared to talk stubbornly? Hitler glanced fiercely, and when he saw the bastard who had always dared to spit at him, he couldn't immediately start to get angry, and scolded him unhappily: "Don't make excuses! Do you want to say that the industrial foundation of the empire can't catch up with the Chinese? Look at them, how many warships have they built?!"
Denitz was speechless. Yes, Zhu Bin bought warships and shipyard equipment from Germany for only two or three years, but in just 37 years, they built their own powerful "Tarzan-class" battleships and "Hero-class" aircraft carriers. Actual combat proved that their combat effectiveness and quality were definitely no worse than those of the German Bismarck and Zeppelin aircraft carriers!
After that, in just four or five years, four powerful naval forces were created, with a total fleet of more than 2 million tons, at least 8 battleships, nearly ten aircraft carriers, and countless auxiliary ships... They feel that their production line is as flexible as building cars!
As an old friend who has been to China more than once and has personally investigated the military strength of this pretty good old friend, he dares to say that he is one of the people who know the whole development process best. So he knows how fierce and scary it was that China's shipbuilding ability has developed to the second place in the world until last year. It was as if in the blink of an eye, from the north to the south, on the coastline of more than 10,000 kilometers, and from the middle of the Yangtze River to the estuary. Hundreds of shipyards filled every port and every beach!
Especially the Yangtze River Steel Corridor, the ships are manufactured in sections from Chongqing Heavy Industry Base, and the basic parts are down along the waterway, and are constantly assembled and filled. Until a complete ship goes to sea, the world-class river with thousands of kilometers of people, a huge population of more than 100 million and huge cities on both sides, and tens of thousands of factories are like a peerless super-large assembly line. By building cars, various ships are often made of tens of thousands of tons. Just imagine it is dazzling!
What a grand move and what a arrogant ambition this is to create such a miracle on earth!
There is also the large coastal shipyard, which even the 60,000-ton super battleships are manufactured in segments. I really don’t know where the Chinese got such terrible technology and such a genius idea!
Denitz couldn't answer the industrial foundation, and it was not up to him. On the contrary, the respected head of state should answer seriously. What price did Germany pay in the secret transactions in the past few years? What a terrible opponent to build!
It has to be said that in order to complete China's huge industrial orders, Germany has been working hard to expand its scale and start construction overtime for five or six years. This has directly affected the country's economic difficulties, and after the transaction is completed, the country's industrial manufacturing capacity soars to the second place in the world, doubled its expected expansion!
The shipbuilding industry has almost reached the limit of Germany's coastal capacity! If it is fully started, the speed should be scary enough.
But their plan was launched too late! In 1939, it has only been three years since then, too short and too fast, and even a generation of naval soldiers cannot be cultivated!
Zhu Bin cheated on super robot production lines and used futuristic training methods to build a naval officers and soldiers. This secret is absolutely impossible for people to know. Denitz was helpless about this. He didn't even know what kind of monster the Chinese made the submarines, but he just guessed that they could sail to the Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean, the Pacific Ocean, and the ability to fight with the aircraft carrier formation at high speed.
The aircraft carrier formation has a combat speed of more than 30 knots. Germany's fastest submarine is only in its early 20 knots. This gap is really...
The only thorn was silent. Hitler suppressed his anger and continued to roar: "Now is not the time to emphasize difficulties! The only situation we need to face is that in the near future, an unprecedented naval battle will surely occur! Whether in the Atlantic Ocean or the Indian Ocean, it must happen, and it is directly related to whether the empire can truly become the greatest country in the world. Whether we Aryans can truly command the entire human race! Look at the Chinese, you should know what to do!"
China, through the naval victory, expanded its territory from its fragmented land to North America, with its tentacles spread across the four oceans. In terms of territory and ruling scope, it seems to be larger than Germany.
The navy is, in the final analysis, a strategic force that a strong country must have. In this regard, Germany is really far apart!
Hitler raised his right hand and shook his head hard, making the small parting rhythm clear and powerful instructions: "Aircraft carriers! We must have four, six, or even eight! The more, the better! Their displacement is large and there are more carrier-based aircraft! We must be able to fully control the Atlantic Ocean! The battleships must be large! The mission of ten ships must be completed! The caliber of the main gun must be thick, and it must not be smaller than the Chinese, or larger than the Japanese! Just do as I ask! Look at the Chinese, they use the cannons of the battleships to kill the enemy every time, and Germany must have stronger power!"
Marshal Redell lowered his head and smiled helplessly. The head of state and other naval generals seemed to have not realized that the future of the navy must be an aircraft carrier. The Chinese used battleships to attack decisively because they had already controlled the battlefield with planes, rather than saying that the aircraft carriers were not capable of insufficient combat effectiveness. But the problem is, how many people could listen to him in this matter!
But Krupp sat in the front row with a calm expression. When Hitler cast his eyes over, he made a steadily guarantee: "Please rest assured, the head of state, we will do our best to provide the various caliber main guns needed by the navy! As long as the ship design meets the requirements, nothing is a problem!"
He figured it out, don't expect to persuade the throne. Not to mention whether this person is crazy, anyway, all the 800mm Dora cannons have been built, and the caliber of the horse is not a problem. It depends on whether such a large turret and warship can be built to support it... It seems that this matter is not his own.
Hitler was very satisfied with his attitude and nodded: "Well! That's what it is! The industrial ability of our Aryans is the strongest in the world! No one can surpass us! Work hard, show your level, and suppress the damn Chinese people hard!"
Several design experts in the navy were confused and grinned silently, secretly complaining to the little Krupp. Why are you so anxious to express your opinion? Yes, your family can build cannons, but do you know what trouble this will cause? Every inch larger inch of the main gun caliber, our battleship displacement may increase by 10,000 tons or even higher. If you really load the Dora cannon on a battleship, how big is the ship built? 200,000 tons or 300,000 tons? That is definitely an unprecedented disaster in the history of engineering manufacturing!
However, at this time, no one had the courage to stand up and touch Hitler's bad luck. The Head of State was at the peak of his life and career with high spirits, and at the same time he was the most angry. Whoever touched would be unlucky!
It must be Deng Niz's clever and timely advice: "Dear Head! We have completed the main body of the two warships, H and J, and the keels of K have been laid. Should we build these two ships as quickly as possible to supplement them to the fleet and form a confrontation against China's maritime power?"
Hitler was stunned, then understood, pondered for a while, and made a decision: "Then let's do it as soon as possible! But I have a requirement, that is, the caliber of the main gun used. It cannot be smaller than the Chinese inches! I don't want to see anything less than 16 inches installed on my battleship!"
Little Krupp nodded quickly: "Please rest assured, Master! Since the last time you made a far-sighted decision, we have limited the minimum caliber to 420mm. According to our information, the main caliber of Chinese and Americans is 406mm."
Hitler was only satisfied. But what he didn't know was that just this change had actually made the naval manufacturing department miserable.
The last time, after being stimulated, the manufacturing of the two warships, h39 and h40, was changed. The original design was designed on the 56,444 tons standard hull and equipped with a 403mm main gun, but it was changed to 420mm. Krupp also built the turret, and it was originally planned to unify the caliber of the h41-K ship behind, which would save a lot of trouble.
But it is obvious that he was seriously underestimated about Hitler's arrogance. The Head of State shook his head and waved his hand: "The main gun of the K ship must at least surpass that of the Japanese! I still hope to see a 19-inch main gun! In addition, I heard that the Chinese people installed missiles that can fire hundreds of kilometers on the ship, which is very good, which gives us great inspiration! Gentlemen, China is just our students. As teachers, how could it be worse than them? I asked that we must find a way to install the V2 missile, or the HS293 missile, on warships, and on carrier-based aircraft! Let the Chinese know that the great empire is stronger than them!"
Now, a bunch of people covered their faces and sighed silently. This life is impossible to pass!
It’s okay to say that the previous one is just 480mm if it is replaced by a caliber of 19 inches. It has three seats and 9 doors, with a displacement of 90,000 tons. It was originally a design indicator for h42, which can be expanded based on h41 keel, so it can be made up for it--if not, just 8 doors!
But installing missiles on the upwards is a systematic project! Moreover, this thing is too large, 14 meters long and weighs up to 13 tons on the land. Such a big thing is placed on the warship, which occupies more space than the main gun, and the liquid propulsion is very unsafe. Even if the opponent hits it with a cannon, it may explode, causing the entire warship to be scrapped. That is definitely a nightmare!
As for Henschel's HS293 missile, it is an air-sea attack weapon, and the test effect is currently good. It is TV guidance, but the range is only 11 kilometers. It is OK to deal with ships from ordinary countries. It seems to be relatively unsafe to deal with Chinese people! Even if it is put on a warship, the shape is not very suitable.
However, this is not a problem for the German engineers, and the head of the rocket department made a guarantee: "After all, the V2 rocket must give priority to the supply of the army to ensure victory in combat against the Soviet Union. We can specially develop a missile suitable for ship-based operations based on the original A3 or A4 rockets! It should be faster than the V2 launching ship!"
Hitler also understood that the importance of time and speed is the first priority to be able to prioritize the manufacturing of warships, but he never gave up on V2 and waved his hand hard: "What should you do for yourself! I just need to see in the end that no one is stronger than our warships. No one is more powerful than our missiles!"
All scientists in the rocket department were bitter. Chinese people have created super missiles that can launch thousands of kilometers and have an explosion power of hundreds of tons of explosives. Your biggest and strongest is not so easy to complete!
The shipbuilding department had a distorted face and could not do anything. They had already thought that the head of state must see that there are warships that can be loaded with V2 rockets. So in order to carry the big guys, does the warship have to be about 100,000 tons? Otherwise, it can be stuffed a few! You can't just pull two or four out to fight!
Also, the conditions required for anti-ship operations at sea are much more harsh than those on land. The land is a dead target that cannot move, and the positions of both sides are fixed. At sea, everyone is moving, and they want to be hundreds of kilometers away. It is so difficult to shoot blindly at both ends of the earth curve!
It is definitely not a good idea to talk back at this time. You can only agree first and then think about a solution later.
If the Germans these days are really confident, they have never said that some weird idea cannot be completed. As long as someone dares to think about it, they will do it steadily and seriously make the design. As for whether it can be created in the end, no one has ever thought about not being able to say this. It’s just about time... it’s not too late to do this thing!
Not only this, but there is another fatal problem that no one mentioned, that is, the water depth of the German shipyard is too shallow to the North Sea area of the Atlantic Ocean. The warships with more than 60,000 tons are very troublesome and inappropriate to fight inside. Bismarck's kind is almost the limit, and it is definitely a disaster to enter the H-class!
If the h41 is increased to 90,000 tons according to Hitler's requirements, it is a question whether it can be driven out!
However, they would not have had a headache, so they immediately stood up and applied to Hitler: "Head of the current attack power of the main gun of the enemy ship, we must design a considerable armor thickness, but this will seriously affect the overall weight, maneuverability and speed, etc. Therefore, we request that we can get more special steel!"
Special steel is the 100,000 tons of space waste alloy that Hitler personally mastered, and the titanium alloy that he made with all his strength.
Hitler had mastered these expensive things by himself. Some of them were built with super tanks, a small number of special aircraft, special trains, and armored replenishment of several warships. More than half of the ones left are currently left.
Hitler hesitated for a moment. Space alloys can't be rebuilt after using them. Later, he still has a lot of good things to make. If they are given to the navy, it will lead to shortages in other aspects. Is it appropriate?
Goring couldn't help but jump out and stop it: "No! We have more important equipment and must use these valuable resources! That will directly determine the security of the head of state and the victory of the empire! In terms of the navy, we can completely overcome difficulties by ourselves and find ways to design and structure the ship! There is no reason why the Chinese, British, and Americans can do it, there is no reason we can't do it!"
His news is very well-informed. When building new battleships, the United States, Japan, Britain, France, etc., all used key protection rather than the German-type comprehensive protection. No matter who is more advanced, at least in terms of reducing tonnage, the former obviously has huge advantages.
Hitler immediately became secretly aroused by him. Yes, there were many secret institutions that were not clear to those present, all of which were studying various decisive weapons and super weapons, which required super alloys, which was indeed a waste to the warships!
He didn't express his opinion, and others could do nothing about it. When he thought about the difficulty of manufacturing a big guy of 60,000 to 70,000 tons, 90,000 tons or even more, the leaders of the shipbuilding department were all in the lawsuit, and the pressure was too great!
In addition, of course, there are many other tasks. For example, in terms of large transport aircraft and bombers, Hitler could not expect to get more from China, while the scientists in the UK and the United States were all gone, and the aircraft factories and manufacturing companies were in a mess. If you want to integrate, you have to find a way to speed up the construction.
However, the super-large aircraft with flying wing structure that he is interested in is not only difficult to manufacture, but it is impossible to complete the flight control system by mechanical means. However, even though he knew that he had taken the wrong path, the Germans who refused to admit defeat were still stubbornly moving forward!
Needless to say, the Army side, Hitler was very satisfied with the series of super heavy cannons and tanks built before. This time, the number of them must be increased. In the future, he will have to collide with the Chinese on the battlefield and see who has the strongest steel torrent!
A series of production plans have been arranged, and the entire German weapons industry forces have to be dispatched to Poland, Czech Republic, Britain, France and even the United States to complete the production of important weapons. There is no way, except for the Germans, others are unreliable and inefficient.
After a lot of effort, he finally sent out all the tasks of mobilizing the troops. No one resisted. Hitler was proud and felt that the major was settled, so he continued to pay attention to the progress of the United States.
In this situation, in addition to a lot of bad news, there is also good news. For example, the large number of ships that the United States had built before, and many of the completed and about to be completed, were snatched out and temporarily pulled to Europe to continue construction.
Among them, there are two Montana-class battleships, a bunch of Essex-class aircraft carriers, a bunch of independent-class aircraft carriers, a large number of "Fletcher-class" advanced destroyers that a large number of American talents have begun mass production, as well as many submarines, heavy cruisers, etc. These will all become a powerful supplement to the German Navy.
