Chapter 518

Hess frowned, seeming to be considering whether to approve the navy's military expansion plan.

There is no doubt that this plan is too huge and too radical.

This is equivalent to doubling the size of the Imperial Navy.

"Your Excellency, Marshal, with such a sudden expansion of personnel, can combat effectiveness be guaranteed? I don't want the combat effectiveness to decrease after the personnel expansion!"Hess reminded.

Marshal Redel suddenly felt happy. He knew that Hess, the ruler of the empire, had already agreed.

"Your Excellency, please rest assured that the Imperial Navy will strengthen training to ensure that its combat effectiveness will not drop much after the personnel expansion. Moreover, within two years, all new recruits will be able to exert their maximum combat effectiveness!"Marshal Redl said quickly.

Hess nodded:"Okay, then I approved the expansion of the navy."

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Governor!"Marshal Redel was immediately overjoyed, and his old face was already full of smiles.

For the Third Reich Navy, all this was not easy.

Although they defeated the Royal Navy of the Empire on which the sun never sets, they became a veritable maritime power. Overlord.

However, there are too many enemies that can challenge the Third Reich Navy. Whether it is the Eagle Navy or the Toyo Navy, they are all eager to catch up. This makes the Third Reich Navy unable to relax at all and must continue to expand.. Otherwise, it is possible to be caught up by the enemy.

And now, after the Third Reich Navy captured so many battleships from the Empire on which the sun never sets, it has directly doubled the strength of the Third Reich Navy. Other countries want to challenge the Third Reich. The Imperial Navy may not be that easy. In other words, if they want to catch up with the Third Reich Navy, they will have to spend a lot of time and resources.

"By the way, the N3-class battleship still needs further improvements. Hasn’t the main gun not been developed yet and not installed yet? The 457mm main gun with 45 times the caliber is too weak. Consider replacing it with a 50 times caliber one. In this case, it can be stronger than the Yamato-class battleships of the Eastern Empire in terms of firepower! In addition, in terms of armor, it should also be thickened. The thickness of the main armor can be increased to more than 430 mm. The armor thickness of the main turret has been increased to more than 500 mm. The maximum speed cannot be lower than 28 knots. If possible, it is best to keep it to 30 knots!"Hess said.

Marshal Redl was stunned for a moment, but then nodded repeatedly.

He knew that it would not be easy to realize Hess's request.

However, since Hess has already agreed to the expansion of the navy, if he even does this, If the requirements cannot be realized, it would seem that the Navy is too incompetent.

What's more, once Hess's requirements are realized, the performance of the N3-class battleship will be even more powerful and truly become the most powerful battleship in the world. And this , what the country’s navy hopes to see

"Your Excellency, we will improve the battleship according to your requirements and will become the most powerful battleship in the world!"Marshal Redl replied.

Originally, the overall strength of the N3-class battleship was slightly inferior to the Yamato-class battleship of the Eastern Empire. However, after improvement, it can completely match the Yamato battleship, or even be stronger. The improved

N3-class battleship, The displacement will rise to 70,000 tons, and it will be equipped with three triple-mounted 50 times caliber 457mm main guns. The waterline armor thickness is 430mm, the turret frontal armor is 520mm, the command tower armor thickness is 480mm, and the maximum speed can be said to be 28 knots. The N3-class battleships belonging to the Third Reich will become the most powerful battleships in the world together with the Yamato-class battleships of the Eastern Empire and the Montana-class battleships of the Eagle Kingdom.

"Tsk tsk, we got 14 battleships from the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets, plus the 17 battleships from the Imperial Navy, we have a total of 31 battleships. With such a scale of capital ships, no country in the world can compare with us! exclaimed Hess.

"Your Excellency, according to the information we have received, the four Richelieu-class battleships in Gaul are about to be completed. The number of our capital ships will once again increase by four."Marshal Redl said with a smile.

Hess was even more speechless. This made the number of capital ships of the Third Reich Navy soar to 35!

If you include the four H-ships that the Empire has ordered and are being built by the Woolly Bear Alliance, With battleships and eight P-class battleships, the number of battleships in the Third Reich Navy would skyrocket to 47.

With such a scale of battleships, even the Eagle Kingdom and the Toyo Empire combined would not be able to match it.

If Coupled with the advantage of aircraft carriers, the Third Reich Navy will truly become the world's first navy!

However, Hess was relieved later.

The current Third Reich Navy is not the navy that was settled in a corner before. After defeating After the Royal Navy of the Empire on which the sun never sets, the Third Reich Navy has replaced it and become the maritime hegemon. The

Third Reich Navy is no longer an offshore defense navy, but a global control navy..

In the future, the Third Reich Navy will be active in all major oceans around the world to ensure that the interests of the Third Reich are not harmed.

After all, according to the peace treaty signed by the Third Reich and the Reich on which the sun never sets, the Third Reich will never set. A large number of colonies were obtained from the fallen empire.

Although most of these colonies are not under the control of the Third Reich.

However, as the war progresses, once the Third Reich wins the war, it will be inevitable to gradually take over these colonies..To ensure the security of these colonies and safeguard the interests of the Third Reich in these colonies, a powerful navy will be indispensable.

Just like when the Empire dominated the world, it relied on the power of running across the world's oceans. The navy maintains the most powerful navy in the world. It fully guarantees the global interests of the empire on which the sun never sets.

Once the Third Reich wins this war, the Third Reich will be able to replace it. It needs to rely on a powerful The navy came to safeguard the interests of the vast colonies.

However, what worried Hess was that the number of capital ships was obviously too many.

Next, the main force in naval battles will be a combination of aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft. Too many main forces are retained. There is actually no need for battleships.

After the war is over, the Third Reich is bound to carry out a round of large-scale disarmament, and the number of these capital ships will inevitably be greatly reduced. In this way, more resources can be saved._To read the ununderlined version of the novel, please download Feilu Novel A
