Chapter 44

"Your Excellency, the UVIIC submarine will be the main force of the Imperial Navy's next submarine force. All major shipyards have received orders from the Navy and have begun to build this submarine with all their strength. Now on the slipway, thirty-six UVIIC submarines are under construction."Admiral Redl said.

Hess nodded. He remembered that in another time and space, the Third Reich built 688 UVIIC submarines.

Actual combat proved that this is undoubtedly a very good performance, or very practical Submarine.

This type of submarine also caused extremely heavy losses to the enemy in the Atlantic Ocean.

In this time and space, the Third Reich will also vigorously build this type of submarine.

Of course, further improvements will be made on this basis. , to build a submarine with more powerful performance. It would be great if a submarine with an AIP system could be built. In that case, the submarine can stay underwater for a long time, and its speed will be further improved. In this way The submarine is the real underwater killer. Unlike the current submarine, which can only sail on the water most of the time, it can only dive underwater for a short time during combat.

"General Dönitz, what about submarine tactics drills? asked Hess.

"Your Excellency, the submarine force has already begun to use the wolf pack tactics you proposed during exercises. After demonstration, this is definitely a tactic that is very suitable for submarine forces. Once the Imperial submarine force grows, we will implement wolf pack tactics on a large scale in the Atlantic Ocean in the future. This is an absolute disaster for our enemies!"Lieutenant General Dönitz was very excited.

The wolf pack tactic is indeed a tactic very suitable for submarines. Once several or even a dozen submarines form a wolf pack on the ocean, it will pose a huge threat to the enemy.

Once the first If the submarine forces of the Three Reichs appear in large numbers in the Atlantic Ocean, the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets will probably have a headache. In fact, once the sea transportation lines are cut off, the powerful Empire on which the Sun Never Sets will become very vulnerable.

Hess and Dönitz After the Vice Admiral discussed some things that need to be paid attention to in the future use of the submarine force, he continued to visit the shipyard.

In the shipyard, a large number of warships are being built.

The most eye-catching thing is undoubtedly the huge slipway under construction. The aircraft carrier was finally completed.

Hess and a group of people also came to this slipway.

In another time and space, the Qi Bolin-class aircraft carrier of the Third Reich Navy was not completed. Only 85% of the construction was completed. It was abandoned because of lack of resources. It had to stop.

At that time, the Third Reich was short of resources, and the army, navy and air force all needed a lot of resources. The army's Tiger tanks, Panther tanks, various assault guns and armored vehicles, etc., all required a lot of consumption The air force's large number of fighter planes and anti-aircraft guns also consume a lot of resources.

The navy is also a big consumer of resources. This is especially true for large surface battleships. Each H-class battleship has a displacement of up to 55,000 More than a thousand tons. The Bismarck-class battleship has a displacement of more than 40,000 tons. If a battlecruiser and a pocket battleship are added, more resources will be consumed.

But in this time and space, Hess cut off The construction plans for battleships, battlecruisers and pocket battleships all used resources on submarines, aircraft carriers, and aircraft carrier escort warships. In this case, even if they still face the problem of resource shortage.

However, with the strength of the Third Reich, There should be no problem in completing the 12 aircraft carriers in Plan Build the next 8 ships.

By then, the Third Reich may have won an overwhelming victory on the European continent and will be able to use more resources.

"Your Excellency, this is the Qi Bolin, the first ship of the Qi Bolin class aircraft carrier. The other three ships were built at other shipyards. It's just that we have no experience in building aircraft carriers. There has not even been a large surface ship built for more than a decade. Therefore, the construction progress is very slow. It is estimated that it will take three years to complete the construction."Admiral Redl said.

Hess nodded. Although three years is not short, it is still acceptable.

With the current shipbuilding strength of the Third Reich, it is naturally unable to compare with Eagle Sauce.

With the third The strength of the empire continues to increase, and even after integrating all of Europe in the future, this will make the Third Reich have even more powerful industrial strength. Even, it will not be worse than the Eagle Country.

Hess looked at Qi Bolin on the slipway. USS aircraft carrier, with fiery eyes, this is the hope for the revival of the Third Reich's navy!
