The Bismarck will be in service at the end of this year, and the second warship of its same model will be in service at the end of next year!

Although the formation of aircraft carriers is a symbol of sea power in later generations, battleships are still not outdated in the era of World War II. The Atlantic Ocean is choppy and the harsh natural conditions often make it impossible for carrier based aircraft to take off smoothly. In this case, the advantages of battleships can be brought into play!

Therefore, the German Navy has always been walking on two legs. While grasping the aircraft carrier, the battleship has not given up. After the completion of the manufacture of the two Bismarck class battleships, the German Navy will start a larger battleship.

Hindenburg class.

Last time, after the signing of the British German naval agreement, the tonnage of German ships could reach 35% of that of the British army. Therefore, under the promotion of chirek, the German Supreme Command officially adopted the large-scale shipbuilding plan code named "Z" plan.

The "Z" plan is quite large, including a series of battleships and aircraft carriers. Among them, the core of battleships is two-level large battleships, one of which is the "Bismarck" battleship and the other is the "Hindenburg" battleship.

In history, Hitler thought he was right and interfered in the construction of "Hindenburg" class everywhere.

Originally, the planned displacement was 60000 tons and equipped with 403mm main guns. As a result, Hitler had a whim to change to 420 mm.

This was not enough. Later, Hitler asked to replace it with a 480mm main gun. As a result, the displacement of Hindenburg class jumped to 80000 tons!

This is just like the special era of later generations, how bold and high-yield people are, like a large satellite with a yield of tens of thousands of tons per mu.

This is not the most terrible. The next year, Hitler asked to increase it to 10000 tons and install 800 mm main guns!

In addition to the busy people of the naval Design Bureau, constantly changing new design schemes, Krupp, as a leading German gun manufacturer, is also tired of running.

Although Krupp was indignant, he continued to work hard. Unfortunately, the technical difficulty was too great. This kind of cannon was not produced until the end of World War II.

It's no use asking too much to surpass this era, and Hitler has always been an absolute artillery man. Only Chirac's words can make Hitler listen.

Chirac put it simply that the main gun is too big, which will lead to an arms race with the west, and Germany can't compare with them.

That's why Hitler didn't pursue super guns madly.

Now, the Bismarck class is under construction in Germany, and the Hindenburg class has always been on paper. However, the specific indicators of this warship have been clear.

This is a warship with a full displacement of 70000 tons. The main gun adopts three triple mounted 460mm heavy guns!

Similarly, specific indicators make complaints about works, and you are welcome to read the book in the book review area.

Combined with the actual situation in Germany, it is impossible to start construction now. Therefore, the construction plan of this battleship is behind the Bismarck class, and it may even be 40 years.

By then, Germany can control the whole of Europe and start construction in shipyards along the coast of France and even in British shipyards! One Germany is certainly not enough, but after integrating the whole of Western Europe, it can not defeat the United States?

The battle object of this Hindenburg class battleship is no longer the British navy, but the US Navy! In order to compete for the hegemony of the whole Atlantic, Germany will certainly have a tragic sea war with the United States!

Now that Chirac has crossed, World War II will not fall short of success as in history. Chirac has figured out various plans to win the war, and it is bound to encounter the United States in the Atlantic!

Hilrick's thoughts drifted away until Molotov whispered to him, "general hilrick?"

Hilrick recovered. He said to Molotov, "I'm sorry I didn't sleep well yesterday."

Did not sleep well? Molotov saw something when he saw the look in shirek's eyes. It was an ambitious desire! At the same time, a terrible idea rose in his mind. According to the secret agreement, Germany and the Soviet Union will divide Poland, and then Germany and the Soviet Union will directly border. Then, will a war break out between the two countries?

Germany is terrible.

Then Molotov also recovered. Now it's too far to think about these. At least for now, Germany and the Soviet Union still have cooperative relations.

"This warship looks really good. General Shrek, when can we get 406 mm guns? " Molotov certainly remembers what happened. There was an agreement between the two sides on naval guns.

"When you provide us with enough ore according to our needs." Xierik then thought again and continued, "if the ore can not meet our requirements, it can also be replaced by other materials. For example, your oil production is good, and we can also import oil from you for conversion."

After the signing of the Soviet German agreement, the Soviet Union and Germany have temporarily become good friends. It is normal for Germany to import oil from the Soviet Union. Anyway, the Soviet Union has so much oil that they can't use it themselves.

Now, it has begun to import large quantities of oil from Romania, which makes Germany's crude oil reserves rising. However, for a country lacking oil, no amount of oil is much.

Molotov immediately promised: "this is no problem. We can continue to discuss it in detail. We hope to get this heavy naval gun as soon as possible. "

Compared with history, the proportion of diesel used in the German army has greatly increased. Germany needs enough oil! Now, the Soviet Union can import whatever inventory it has. Anyway, Germany has funds.

For the Soviet Union, the Soviet Class Battleships have been scheduled to start this year. They need heavy naval guns. Under the circumstances of many difficulties in self-research, importing from Germany is the safest way. Both sides take what they need!

Germany is short of resources. All this can be solved by Chirac with his sufficient knowledge of future generations! For example, for the problem of oil, xierik has always had a plan, which can be exploited and used on a large scale at any time. Now, in addition to importing, other mineral resources can also make new efforts!

For example, to make armor piercing bullets, tungsten is essential!
