Chapter 1144 Or else, let's change the name of the motherland too

And this time, the performance of the bomber unit was also very good. "We dropped the bomb almost at the height of each other's mast. Fortunately, I reacted fast enough. Otherwise, I might have hit the rangefinder on the top of the Saxon mast! Did you see the black and gray behind my plane? It was the smokestack of the Saxon!" Afterwards, a pilot boasted to his colleague in a very exaggerated tone.

There were 9 bombs in total, three of them were hit, one fell near the chimney, and the red paint directly dyed the eight chimneys. The second shot landed on the No. 3 turret, leaving a huge radioactive abstract pattern on it. The third shot hit the ship's side. While hitting the guardrail, it dyed a dozen-meter-long deck red.

"Or else, let's surrender, the warship must enter the dock to proceed, so be it, report the results of this exercise to His Majesty the Kaiser! At the same time telegraph the planes and let them retreat." Scheer passed directly over Baker this time Major General En ordered.

This exercise was a bit beyond expectations and broke the battleship... Well, no one thought that the torpedo would directly hit the rudder. I don’t know when I will fight the British in the future. The absence of a Bavarian-class battleship is a big problem, and the purpose of the exercise is already It has been reached. If the British ship in actual combat had already returned to the sea, no one opposed the order given by Schell.

"Only more than half of the aircraft participated in the battle. A total of no more than 30 aircraft hit 5 torpedoes and 3 bombs. Such an attack was enough to destroy a battleship! This is definitely an epoch-making weapon! Rupp Recht, you really did not let me down! You proved your talent and wisdom with practical actions!" After seeing the battle report, the German emperor can be described as ecstatic! However, a wave of 30 aircraft can sink a battleship in good condition!

"From now on, you will be directly responsible for the navy's armaments and funding, Ruprecht, don't let me down. Except for the salaries of the personnel and the necessary maintenance funds, the rest will be given to you! And you I'll give you all the planes and pilots I want! Then you put their ideas on the plane for me! Yes, that's it." The Kaiser was walking back and forth on the deck excitedly.

"I'm afraid it is not enough to change two cruise ships to aircraft carriers? At least three! Yes, that's it, Ruprecht, now you can choose 3 cruise ships to change to aircraft carriers and change them according to Wittgersbach!" The Kaiser was excited. , And directly added a quota to the prince.

"Uh, it seems that the purpose of this exercise is really achieved." Not to mention, among the more than 3 dozen fast cruises and high-speed ships in Germany, the prince really saw a few ships, but some ships. It is in use now, so it is not convenient to collect.

However, although the prince's goal had been achieved, he still felt that the Kaiser's decision was sometimes hasty. If it is understandable to add an additional ship, then the next decision of the German Emperor made the prince feel a bit too exaggerated!

"If we change the Emperor-class cruise ship to an aircraft carrier, can we carry 200 planes? Damn, one of our three Emperor-class cruise ships is in the United States and one is mortgaged to Argentina. Only one is in Local people, if we knew this a long time ago, we should keep them. I will give you this German Empire's largest ship, the proudest existence, and then you will forge it into the sharpest sword of the Imperial Navy!"

"Hold the grass! Are you crazy?! Are your heads straight?" If it is the Kaiser, who can't offend him, the prince really wants to give him a craniotomy. Look at this guy. Is there a pile of paste in my mind! The Emperor Cruise! It is impossible to get such a big ship in terms of construction period, cost or cost performance! Anyway, we have also talked about the navy. Have you forgotten everything you learned back then?

The prince can't help but spit out in his heart, because this order of the Kaiser is really unreliable! The Emperor-class cruise ship is definitely the largest ship of this era, whether it is a warship or a civilian ship, it is impossible to say compared with this Dongdong! The Bavarian-class battleship is 30,000 tons and has a length of 215 meters. The Fuso-class battleship is 32,000 tons with a length of over 220 meters. This is the largest and most top-notch among the warships. But compared with the Emperor? That can only be insignificant! Compared with tonnage and body shape, it is not a class at all!

Take the Emperor-class cruise ship No. 3 Bismarck as an example. (Yes, you read that right, it’s Bismarck, with the same name as the German battleship in World War II!) The hull is 291 meters in length, 30.5 meters in width, 11 meters in draft, and displacement. 56,551 tons! Equipped with 48 boilers, the maximum output power is 66000 horsepower! Maximum speed is 23.5 knots! From the point of view of size, there is no other ship in the same period, and a total of 3 ships of this class were built at that time! This shows how strong German shipbuilding and industry were at that time!

This ship is really big. It can even be said that if it is thrown into the second battle, this aircraft carrier is basically the largest. There was no other one before Midway! You want to say to install the plane? As far as the small aircraft of World War 1 is concerned, it may not be a problem to install 200 aircraft. However, this ship is definitely not suitable for turning into a warship!

Let’s not talk about anything else. For this amount of work, you dismantle most of the superstructure of a 56,000-ton luxury cruise ship, and then install the parts you need. You pay for the money, manpower and time spent on this. Why not build a new one! This is a bit like the Normandy cruise ship in history. The world's largest cruise ship during the Second World War had a full 80,000 tons. From the perspective of tonnage, if this cargo was in service, Shinano would not compare it! But the Americans decisively gave up after calculating the time and economic costs. The same is true for Emperor Cruisers. It looks good, it's okay to think about it, don't take it seriously.

Under normal circumstances, there are reserved designs for the conversion of real cruise ships to aircraft carriers. For example, the Japanese modified three aircraft carriers, the Great Eagle, Flying Eagle, and Falcon Eagle. The Ministry of the Navy paid the money and designed it directly in accordance with the standards of the warship, and even the cabin took into account the needs of the aircraft carrier in the future. In this way, it can save money and shorten the construction period. And the speed is relatively fast.

As for this plane, the Wittelsbach is also like this. It was originally an aircraft carrier built in the name of a merchant ship, and it was changed directly before even a day in a merchant ship... The compatibility with the aircraft carrier is very good in all aspects. In Germany, there are indeed several "quasi-prepared aircraft carriers" designed in consideration of one kind or another. Therefore, the prince did not even consider changing such a big and flashy guy into an aircraft carrier... This time, the prince had to admire that William II's brain was really big!

"This is not necessary. If the Bismarck is to be changed, then we estimate that this aircraft carrier will not be in service before the end of the war ~www.wuxiaspot.com~. Use the funds and working hours of this ship. We can completely change it. Two other aircraft carriers out.” Prince Ruprecht said silently.

"Well, you are an expert, then this matter is left to you, do it well, don't let me down." The Kaiser was taken aback for a moment, his expression a little dissatisfied. "Well, you can change three more ships, and you can add an additional one if necessary. Well, that's it, you just want to take that ship away, tell me, no other people are in charge."

"Well, now, let's take a look at the warriors who slaughtered the dragons with their long swords!" No one denies the German Emperor's proposal. Whether it is because of joy in his heart or for showing off, the prince does not mind letting him His Majesty, who has run hundreds of kilometers, is pleased. The remaining time of the Kaiser was "playing and relaxing". And the prince's work has just begun.

With carrier-based aircraft, with nearly trained pilots, and an aircraft carrier that is about to enter service, but this is still a long way from the prince’s aircraft carrier squadron. Let’s not say it is used on a large scale, just build the following warships and arrangements. Tactics are troublesome.
