Chapter 1090 Goethe-Class Aircraft Carrier

The sea and air battle that broke out in the Coral Sea slowly came to an end. This naval battle overturned the situation of previous naval battles, and the shock to the navies of various countries was huge.

Until one side failed, the naval fleets of both sides did not make contact, and they all launched attacks outside the line of sight, and the side with advanced fighter jets and attack aircraft would gain an absolute advantage in this kind of naval battle.

The Americans lost two aircraft carriers again, worse than in history. They had to withdraw from this naval battle and wait for the accumulation of more naval power before they could regain the initiative in the Pacific.

At the same time, after defeating the U.S. Navy, the morale of the island nation's navy has risen again. For them, this victory indicates that their Battle of Midway will go on smoothly!

However, for the island nation's navy, they also have regrets. In this naval battle, their aircraft carrier Shōkaku was also damaged and had to be returned to the shipyard for maintenance, and they wanted to organize the next halfway. Island naval battle, the strength they have at hand is insufficient.

Under such circumstances, Lieutenant General Nagumo of the island nation's navy once again traveled thousands of miles to Germany.

"We hope to order a new batch of Stuka bombers, and at the same time, we hope to order two to four aircraft carriers from you." Nagumo said straight to the point.

The island country's existing strength is insufficient, and even if the island country's military factories start production at full speed, there is no way to meet their needs. At this time, ordering from Germany has become a shortcut.

After all, Germany now has the British and French shipbuilding industries, and the German naval fleet, which is simply expanding like dumplings. At this time, ordering from Germany is definitely the fastest.

Cyric looked at the incoming island nation admirals and knew their purpose: "It seems that you are planning to attack Midway Island?"

This statement made Nagumo Chuichi stunned for a moment. His own combat operations are top secret. How did the President of Cyric know? He can be sure that he has not leaked the secret, so that is to say, this is what President Cyric guessed?

Sure enough, it is unfathomable, and there is no President Cyric who cannot know!

Nan Yunzhong blushed and didn't speak, because he didn't know what to say.

"If we ordered directly from us, we wouldn't be able to keep up with this battle," Cyric said. "We can give the warships we just built to our eastern friends. We have four Goethe-class aircraft carriers, and we have completed all of them. The sea trials have not been incorporated into our navy, and now, we can give all these aircraft carriers to our friends."

Goethe-class aircraft carrier? Nan Yunzhong is not familiar with this aircraft carrier. In his perception, the German aircraft carrier is the Count Zeppelin class, and six have been in service now. What kind of aircraft carrier is this Goethe-class aircraft carrier?

However, if there are such four aircraft carriers, it is enough to expand the naval strength of our own side, and it will be of better help for the upcoming naval battle of Midway.

"The displacement of these aircraft carriers is only more than 10,000 tons, and they can carry more than 20 carrier-based aircraft. Compared with the main warships, they are a bit slow, but they are more flexible. In addition to participating in the battle with the main force of the fleet, they can also be dispatched alone. , to undertake the escort mission on the route. For the navy of the island nation, I think this kind of aircraft carrier is also quite suitable." Cyric said.

This so-called Goethe-class aircraft carrier is of course an escort aircraft carrier, which is almost the same as a container cargo ship built from an order from the United States. Now, in addition to building the main aircraft carrier, Germany is also starting to build such an escort aircraft carrier, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Germany will have long sea routes to protect in the future, and escorting aircraft carriers is a must.

At the same time, only such aircraft carriers can be exported to island countries.

The technical level is low, and German advanced technology will not be leaked. At the same time, the Zeppelin Count class, which was built in Germany, is not enough for itself, so how can it be exported to island countries!

After taking a closer look at the performance, Nagumo Zhongichi finally agreed, especially since he can drive back to the island country within half a month, which is very attractive.

"As for the payment method." Cyric paused and said, "We do not accept loans. You can barter, for example, with rubber from Southeast Asia."

Natural rubber trees are tropical rain forest trees, and their planting areas are basically distributed within 15°C of north-south latitude, mainly in Southeast Asia, accounting for about 90% of the world's natural rubber planting area.

And rubber is definitely a strategic resource. If nothing else, take German tanks as an example. The road wheels used are all glued, and for this, it is best to use natural rubber, although Germany has already started artificial In terms of performance, synthetic rubber and other technologies will always be the best of natural rubber.

With the expansion of island countries in Southeast Asia, the island countries will control a large area of ​​natural rubber production, so much rubber, the island countries can not use, exporting to Germany is the best choice.

Sure enough, Nan Yun Zhongyi did not refuse, but nodded in agreement. He couldn't make the decision, so he could discuss with Pheasant Fifty-Six when he went back.

Compared with history, Germany has provided greater support to the island countries. This kind of support is of course aimed at allowing the island countries to contain the United States. Now, the more the island countries and the United States consume each other, the better it is for Germany!

However, Germany will never sign any Axis treaty with the island country, and Cyric will never jump into the pit of the island country.

After sending off the visitors from the island country, Cyric didn't pay much attention to the situation in the Far East. For him, it was all about one thing now.

Barbarossa Project.

It's already February. According to his plan, in March, the Barbarossa plan will officially start. At this time, nothing can stop him from implementing this plan.

The day after Nagumo Chuichi left, Cyric continued to gather his subordinates for a meeting in the wolf's den.

"Our troops are gathering towards the border, and so far, there is no sign that we are exposed." Scherner said: "However, to be more secure, I personally think we can have a little friction with the Americans at sea. , let the Soviets know that we are still bent on fighting the United States. The Americans have just suffered a loss in the Coral Sea and will definitely not dare to expand the conflict with us. Roosevelt will definitely regret running for president this time, he will become the last generation of the United States president."

Scherner's words were greeted with a burst of laughter from everyone.

By taking a bullet, Roosevelt miraculously gained more support. In the general election, he narrowly defeated his opponent with 55% of the vote and won the election. It also ushered in a new era for the re-election of the U.S. president. He is the first time in U.S. history to be re-elected for three terms!

However, this president is not easy to be, he will become the last president of the United States!

"Well, let's just let the Propaganda Department congratulate Roosevelt like this." Cyric was very satisfied with this suggestion. Anyway, it was normal to have a war of words now, and Germany didn't say that it was Germany that destroyed the United States, and the island countries could destroy them.

And when it spread to the Soviet Union, it must have thought that it was going to have a hard anus with the United States! Continue to paralyze the Soviets!

"However, Führer Cyric, there must be a reason for us to launch a war against the Soviet Union, right?" At this moment, Reinhardt spoke.

reason!

Justice will win. This is the slogan shouted by the victors. Therefore, the just cannot start the war mode for no reason. The Soviets do not understand this. Fighting Iran is a mistake made by the Soviets. , it starts immediately.

And every war in Germany has a good reason, even if it swept across Europe, it was because of the revenge battle in which Hitler was assassinated by Britain and France!

Now, what is the excuse for fighting the Soviet Union? After all, the Soviet Union is still good friends with Germany!

Excuses, that's certainly too many! When Cyric rolled his eyes, he remembered something: "Aren't the Soviets actively preparing for a plan to attack us? This is our most legitimate reason!"

Cyric's words made the people present burst into laughter, yes, just use this reason!
