Chapter 43

BF-109 fighter, JU-87 dive bomber and JU-88 medium bomber, they are definitely the star weapons of the Third Reich Air Force during World War II. These three types of fighters all contributed to the glory of the Third Reich Air Force.

Under the leadership of Hess, these three types of fighters were developed in advance and will continue to be improved. This would allow the Third Reich Air Force to have more powerful fighters. In future wars, it will be able to occupy a greater advantage.

Although time is getting tighter, Hess expressed satisfaction with the Air Force's development.

Compared with another time and space, the air force of the Third Reich in this time and space will develop more rapidly, and will be able to take fewer detours and create fewer completely useless things. This can save limited resources and use them to produce more more practical fighters.

For example, in another time and space, the Third Reich Air Force did not have any heavy bombers it could handle. The Yingjiang people on the other side of the ocean have successively built three powerful four-engine heavy bombers, namely the B-17, B-24 and B-29. There is no doubt about the role of heavy bombers. Didn’t the Third Reich suffer from bombing by these heavy bombers in the later period, resulting in the continuous weakening of war potential?

Therefore, in this time and space, the Third Reich Air Force must also have its own heavy bombers and form its own strategic bomber force to carry out strategic strikes against the enemy.

Especially when dealing with the Woolly Bear Alliance, facing the vast territory of the Woolly Bear Alliance, ordinary medium bombers simply cannot launch an attack on the Woolly Bear Heavy Industrial Base located in the hinterland. The heavy bombers are different, enough to destroy these heavy industrial bases of Mao Xiong. Once these heavy industrial bases are destroyed, even if Mao Xiong has a strong population advantage, he will not be able to arm enough soldiers. You can imagine how difficult it will be to defeat the Third Reich.

After completing his inspection of the Air Force, Hess rushed to the port of Kiel, where the naval headquarters of the Third Reich was located.

The Third Reich Navy's X shipbuilding plan has been implemented for more than a year, and it is time to see initial results.

When Hess's special train entered the port of Kiel, Admiral Raeder and Lieutenant General Dönitz were already waiting at the train station.

"Your Excellency, welcome to the port of Kiel."Admiral Redl seemed very enthusiastic.

Hess's speech to the Navy was very strong and he allocated sufficient military expenditures to the Navy. Naturally, the Navy generals supported him very much.

"General, thank you for your hard work." Hess nodded.

"Your Excellency, should we go to the headquarters first or to the dock?"Admiral Raeder asked.

"Let's go to the submarine base. How are our wolves doing?"Hess was very concerned about this.

Although the Third Reich's navy began to rebuild and gradually moved towards revival.

However, compared with its powerful enemies, the Third Reich's navy was not even a little bit behind. It was really a shortcoming.

In the early days of the war, I am afraid that only Able to use asymmetric warfare to attack the enemy.

Submarines, a weapon that is hidden underwater and is like a terrible killer, have become an important weapon for the Third Reich Navy to defeat the enemy.

"Your Excellency, the first batch of twelve UV II submarines has entered service. Next, we will no longer build this kind of submarine, but build a UVⅡC submarine with a larger displacement. Lieutenant General Dönitz said

UVⅡType submarine, with a displacement of only 300 tons, and a maximum speed of 13 knots on the surface and 8 knots underwater. It has a crew of 25 people and is equipped with a 20mm anti-aircraft gun and three 533mm torpedo tubes, capable of carrying a total of five torpedoes.

The UVIIC submarine is much larger, with a surface displacement of 769 tons and an underwater displacement of 850 tons. The maximum speed is 17 knots on the surface and 8 knots underwater. The surface cruising range reaches 8,500 nautical miles, and the underwater range reaches 80 nautical miles. In terms of armament, it is equipped with an 88mm naval gun, a 20mm anti-aircraft gun, and five 533mm torpedo tubes, carrying a total of 14 torpedoes.

Such performance is already very powerful.

The UVII submarine is nothing more than a training submarine for the current Third Reich Navy submarine force.

The next mass-produced UVIIC submarine will be the main combat submarine.

Hess was on the dock and visited the UVII submarine.

Although it looks very crude, this kind of submarine has become the cradle for the Third Reich to train submarine soldiers.

They will become the warriors of the Third Reich Navy, overcoming various difficulties and fighting powerful enemies in a small space. Many people even end up sleeping in the deep sea because of this.

There is no doubt that they are the real warriors and the real heroes.

Later, Hess went to the shipyard and visited the UVIIC submarine under construction. He was full of praise for this submarine.

"General Dönitz, I now appoint you Commander of the Submarine Forces of the Third Reich Navy. I hope you can lead these underwater wolves and tear apart powerful enemies!" Hess said

"Your Excellency, I am happy to serve you! Lieutenant General Dönitz replied.
