"Your Excellency, the Qi Bolin-class aircraft carrier has a standard displacement of 24,500 tons, a full load displacement of 31,300 tons, a length of 262.5 meters, a width of 24 meters, a maximum speed of 30 knots, and is equipped with 6 twin 105mm anti-aircraft guns. 11 twin-mounted 40mm anti-aircraft guns and 28 single-mounted 20mm anti-aircraft guns, capable of carrying 96 fighter jets."Admiral Redl introduced.

Hess nodded. This is no worse than the Essex-class aircraft carrier that will be mass-produced by the Eagles in the future.

Of course, although the name is still the Qi Bolin-class aircraft carrier, it is the same as the one from another time and space. The Qibelin-class aircraft carrier planned to be built by the Third Reich still has huge changes.

First of all, the speed has been reduced, and the maximum speed has dropped from 34 knots to 30 knots. This can reduce some boilers and save more space as a hangar. , to park fighters, and to store fuel and ammunition. Secondly, the elimination of 8 twin-mounted 150mm main guns is enough to free up a lot of space as a hangar to park fighters. Thirdly, the number of fighters carried has been greatly increased. It is no longer an embarrassing 42 aircraft, but 96. The reason for such a big jump is that on the one hand, the aircraft carrier has been optimized. More fighters can be parked on the deck and in the hangar. On the other hand, Optimize the carrier-based aircraft and fold the wings when parked, thereby saving a lot of space. The greatest combat effectiveness of the aircraft carrier undoubtedly comes from the carrier-based aircraft. If the number of carrier-based aircraft is not enough, the combat effectiveness will naturally be insufficient.

When these Qi Bolin-class aircraft carriers can carry up to 96 carrier-based aircraft and are very powerful carrier-based aircraft, their combat effectiveness will undoubtedly be very terrifying.

"Very good, I am looking forward to what the scene will be like after all 12 Qi Bolin-class aircraft carriers of the Imperial Navy are completed."Hess is full of expectations.

"By the way, the Air Force's fighter jets have been finalized. The Navy could immediately improve it as the first carrier-based fighter." Hess went on to say

"Yes, Your Excellency."Admiral Raeder replied

BF-There is no doubt about the performance of the 109 fighter jet, but if it wants to be put on the ship, the engine needs to be changed from a water-cooled engine to an air-cooled engine.

When fighting in the ocean, there is no way to provide sufficient fresh water for the fighter's engine.

In this case, the performance of the fighter jet will decline to a certain extent, and the maximum speed will also drop somewhat. But even this is enough to defeat the carrier-based aircraft of other countries.

In addition to the Zeppelin-class aircraft carrier, construction of other warships of the Third Reich Navy also began

"Your Excellency, the construction of large air defense cruisers, heavy cruisers, light cruisers and destroyers are also starting one after another. However, as per your instructions, the battlecruisers were not started."Admiral Raeder said

"Your Excellency General, our resources are limited, so we must naturally prioritize the construction of submarines and aircraft carriers. Later, if there are resources, some battlecruisers and battleships may also be built. Not too much, but at least there will be." Hess said.

Hess knew very well that Admiral Redl was also a fan of big ships and big guns, and longed to own powerful battleships.

However, after Hess made it clear that he would not consider battleships for the time being, he had to suppress his inner thoughts. Down

"Yes, Your Excellency, I can understand!"Admiral Redl nodded.

Hess patted Admiral Redl's shoulder and comforted him.

After all, the Third Reich is not as wealthy as Eagle Sauce. Its strong financial resources and abundant resources can enable Eagle Sauce to build a large number of buildings unscrupulously. aircraft carriers and battleships.

In another time and space, it was with this arrogant style that Eagle Sauce reversed the unfavorable situation in the Pacific battlefield and killed the Japanese people.

If the Third Reich had such financial resources and In terms of resources, there is no need to be frugal like this.

The navy needs battleships, so just build a dozen of them. But unfortunately, the Third Reich is not destined to have such a fate. Every ton of steel must be used sparingly.

In the shipyard Inside, the construction of large air defense cruisers, heavy cruisers, light cruisers and destroyers is also proceeding step by step. Most of these battleships are equipped with aircraft carriers.

Hess knows very well that if an aircraft carrier goes to sea alone to fight, it is courting death. It must be equipped with supporting equipment Only the battleships can provide air defense and anti-submarine protection. In this way, the combat effectiveness of the aircraft carrier can be fully utilized.

Although the current Third Reich Navy was still weak at the beginning, they are reviving bit by bit. Perhaps In a short time, the whole world will be shocked by the Third Reich Navy. Whether it is the old overlord or the emerging power, they will all fall at the feet of the Third Reich Navy.
