At Hess's request, the Navy revised its large-scale shipbuilding plan, eliminated many unnecessary large surface warships, and concentrated its limited resources on a few important warships.

This plan was named Plan X.

In this plan, in the next ten years, the Navy will focus on building submarines and aircraft carriers, as well as supporting warships and aircraft for aircraft carriers.

In the entire plan, the Navy will build 300 submarines and 12 aircraft carriers.

Among them, the displacement of the aircraft carrier must be more than 25,000 tons, and the number of carrier-based aircraft carried must be more than 90.

In addition, the Navy will build 12 large anti-aircraft cruisers, 36 light cruisers, and 72 destroyers. Make sure these aircraft carriers are equipped with strong air defense capabilities.

In addition, the Navy will build six heavy cruisers with a displacement of more than 15,000 tons and three battlecruisers.

This plan made Hess relatively satisfied.

In reality, large surface warships played a relatively small role in defeating the Royal Navy.

After all, the mainland of the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets is too close to Europe. As long as the Third Reich can sweep across Europe in the future, deploying a large number of dive bombers and torpedo attack aircraft in Western Europe will pose a fatal threat to the Royal Navy. If we seize the opportunity, it is entirely possible to inflict heavy damage or even defeat the Royal Navy in one fell swoop.

However, after all, there is a strait between the Empire and Europe.

Even if the strait is not wide, it cannot be crossed by swimming.

It is precisely because of this unique geographical environment that the sun never sets on the empire with natural protection. This allows it to control the situation on the European continent while being isolated overseas.

To put it bluntly, the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets is a troublemaker in Europe.

The principle it pursues is that it will never allow a powerful hegemonic country to emerge in Europe. Once a powerful country rises, they will unite with other countries to besiege it.

When the Gallic Empire rose during the Napoleonic period, the Empire of the Sun Never Sets, together with many European countries, launched many anti-Gaul wars, and finally defeated the Gallic Empire, which almost dominated the entire Europe.

When the bear was rising, the Sun Never Sets Empire also began to pursue the bear, and even teamed up with Gaul to beat the bear severely on the Corrimian Peninsula.

During the last world war, the Second Empire rose to dominate Europe. The Sun Never Sets Empire also teamed up with the Gallic Kingdom and the Woolly Bear Empire to attack the Second Empire.

This time, if Hess wants to lead the rise of the Third Reich, it will also be inevitable to go to war with the Empire on which the sun never sets.

If you want to win this war, you must defeat the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets.

Landing on the mainland of the Japanese Empire would be inevitable.

This makes it necessary for the future Third Reich to have a powerful navy. Not only must it be able to defeat the Royal Navy of the Japanese Island Empire, but it must also provide support for future landings on the Empire's mainland.

Even after defeating the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets, they had to face another powerful country on the other side of the ocean, the world's most powerful country, the Eagle Country.

This necessitated the Third Reich to have a powerful navy.

In other words, Hess approved the construction of twelve aircraft carriers, more for the Eagle Sauce across the ocean.

After all, the powerful industrial strength of Yingjiang Country, especially its shipbuilding strength, is enough to suffocate any country.

In another time and space, even the Eagle Country was defeated miserably on the Pacific battlefield and suffered heavy losses. But it still relied on its strong industrial strength to drag the Eastern Empire to death.

If the Third Reich wants to defeat the Eagle Country in the future, it will have to fight head-on with its enemies in this regard.

If we can take advantage at the beginning of the war, and even use powerful aircraft carriers to destroy the industrial base on the east coast of the Eagle Country, especially the shipyards, it will give the Third Reich a huge advantage in future wars.

"Very good, the Navy can start developing and building Project X from now on. I look forward to the future when our navy defeats the enemy and becomes the most powerful navy in the world!" Hess said

"Yes, Your Majesty the Prime Minister!"Both General Raeder and General Dönitz said

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, regarding carrier-based aircraft, can we cooperate with the Air Force? In this case, resources can be more intensively concentrated. General Redl said.

Hess nodded:"Absolutely." The Air Force is about to be rebuilt. Next, huge resources will be invested in developing a fighter jet that is ahead of the rest of the world. The Navy can improve the Air Force's fighter jets and convert them into carrier-based aircraft."

Hess clearly remembers that the BF-109 fighter jets and FW-190 fighter jets of the Third Reich Air Force in the future will be extremely advanced fighters. After being converted into carrier-based aircraft, they can also crush the carrier-based aircraft of other countries.

At least, the Swordfish carrier-based aircraft of the Sun Never Sets Empire and the F4F fighter jets of Yingjiang are absolutely unable to compete with them.
