Chapter 516

Four Lion-class battleships, four N3-class battleships, three Admiral-class battlecruisers and three G3-class battlecruisers.

These 14 capital ships are definitely world-class battleships.

Even the Third Reich Navy now has 17 capital ships. But if it is truly combat effective, it will not be much stronger than these 14 battleships.

And if the Third Reich obtains these 14 battleships, this will bring the strength of the Third Reich Navy to another level.

It was even enough to make the Third Reich Navy aspire to be the best in the world in terms of capital ships. The Eagle Country, the Eastern Empire and the Bear Alliance are absolutely incomparable to the Third Reich.

This also made Marshal Redl make up his mind. He must find a way to persuade the empire's ruling Hess to agree to continue building these capital ships.

The actual battleships and Admiral-class battleships are already very complete and can be built with a lot of resources. However, N3-class battlecruisers and G3-class battlecruisers are different and require a large investment of resources.

Although the Third Reich Navy was eager to acquire these battleships, it is difficult to say whether Hess would have agreed.

"Your Excellency, Marshal, in addition to these capital ships, there are also many aircraft carriers under construction for the Empire on which the sun never sets."General Albrecht reminded.

Now in the Third Reich, there are only four Qibelin-class aircraft carriers in service. In the shipyard, there are still four Qibelin-class aircraft carriers under construction. Even the third batch of four Qibelin-class aircraft carriers are under construction. The construction of aircraft carriers has also been put on the agenda.

However, it will also take a lot of time for those aircraft carriers to be completed and put into service. At this stage, the number of aircraft carriers in the Third Reich is still too few.

Subsequently , , Marshal Redl, General Albrecht and others went to the shipyard of the Empire on which the sun never sets to inspect those aircraft carriers.

"Your Excellency, Marshal, this is the USS Unicorn aircraft carrier, with a displacement of 21,000 tons, a maximum speed of 28 knots, and the ability to carry 36 carriers. Ninety percent of its construction has been completed. The two ships over there are the No. 3 and No. 4 ships of the Glorious-class aircraft carrier, the Victory and the Indomitable respectively. It has a displacement of 30,000 tons, can carry 45 carrier-based aircraft, and has a maximum speed of 30 knots. The two aircraft carriers are 80 percent complete."The person in charge of the shipyard introduced.

Marshal Redl and General Albrecht both frowned.

Not to mention the Unicorn aircraft carrier with a displacement of 21,000 tons, and an aircraft carrier with a displacement of 30,000 tons. It can only carry 45 carrier-based aircraft.

The number of carrier-based aircraft carried by the aircraft carrier of the Empire on which the sun never sets is too large.

You know, the Zeppelin aircraft carrier of the Third Reich Navy has a displacement of only more than 31,000 tons, but But it can carry ninety-six carrier-based aircraft. Even the second and third batches of Qi Bolin-class aircraft carriers can increase the number of carrier-based aircraft by 12 after improvements. In contrast, the Sun Never Sets Empire The number of carrier-based aircraft carried by the Navy's aircraft carriers cannot be compared with that of the Zeppelin-class aircraft carriers. A Zeppelin-class aircraft carrier of the Third Reich has twice as many aircraft carriers with almost the same displacement. The person in charge of the shipyard I don’t know how to answer. The Imperial Royal Navy is also in the exploratory stage when it comes to aircraft carriers and has no experience.

"If we want to accept these three aircraft carriers, we must make improvements. Redesign the hangar and increase its capacity. The number of carrier-based aircraft carried by the USS Unicorn aircraft carrier needs to be increased to 60. The number of carrier-based aircraft carried by the Glorious-class aircraft carrier must be increased to 96. Only in this way can the needs of the Imperial Navy be met!"Marshal Redl said

"Your Majesty Marshal, in this case, the workload will be greater and more resources will be consumed."General Albrecht reminded

"It doesn't matter, the empire has too few aircraft carriers and needs more aircraft carriers. After modification, these aircraft carriers should be capable of the task. It’s okay to invest some resources in making improvements!"Marshal Redl said.

He was very confident to convince the empire's ruling Hess to agree to modify these aircraft carriers.

Admiral Albrecht nodded and said nothing more

"This is the Indomitable-class aircraft carrier, with a displacement of 33,000 tons, a maximum speed of 325 knots, and the ability to carry 54 carrier-based aircraft. However, the completion progress is only 70%."The person in charge of the shipyard continued to introduce

"The biggest problem is that the number of carrier-based aircraft is too small, and improvements must be made. After the improvement, there is no problem at all in carrying 96 carrier-based aircraft."Marshal Redl said

"Yes, Your Excellency Marshal. The displacement is 33,000 tons, which is equivalent to our improved Qi Bolin-class aircraft carrier. There are only 54 carrier-based aircraft onboard, which is outrageous. Our improved Qi Bolin-class aircraft carrier carries 108 carrier-based aircraft!"General Albrecht said

"After the improvement, it is still very good to be able to fully utilize its performance. In this case, the strength of the Imperial Navy's aircraft carrier fleet will skyrocket."Marshal Raeder said.

Obviously, Marshal Raeder is very optimistic about these aircraft carriers.

General Albrecht knew Marshal Raeder's thoughts, and he also expressed his support.

"Your Excellency Marshal, in addition to these five aircraft carriers, there are ten Giant-class aircraft carriers under construction. These Giant-class aircraft carriers have a displacement of more than 18,000 tons, a maximum speed of 7 knots, and can carry 48 carrier-based aircraft. However, the construction progress of these giant-class aircraft carriers is only 45% completed."The person in charge of the shipyard continued.

The Giant-class aircraft carrier is the first large-scale mass-produced aircraft carrier of the Royal Navy of the Empire on which the sun never sets. It can only be regarded as a medium-sized aircraft carrier.

With a displacement of more than 18,000 tons, it can carry 48 A carrier-based aircraft is barely enough.

"These Giant-class aircraft carriers are also pretty good. The Imperial Navy does not have medium-sized aircraft carriers, so consider owning one!"Marshal Redl said

"Your Excellency, Marshal, are you planning to eat all fifteen aircraft carriers of the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets?"General Albrecht was shocked.

"Of course, with the appetite of the Imperial Navy, it is entirely possible to eat these aircraft carriers!"Marshal Redl is very determined._To read the underlined version of the novel, please download Feilu Novel A
