Chapter 1234 The Luo Army Attacks Osad (Plus 1)

The XXI-2 submarine sounds like a modification of the XXI submarine, which seems reasonable. After all, the current XXI submarine is still a secret to the outside world. many people know.

However, this model is only used to hide people's eyes and ears. Just look at it a little bit. This so-called modified submarine has an underwater displacement of more than 6,000 tons.

This data alone is enough for it to dominate the pack in the entire era. Once this submarine appears, it will rewrite the entire history of submarine warfare.

Almost all submarines need to surface for ventilation, but this type of submarine does not.

From the outside, it is almost a synchronously enlarged XXI submarine. After all, the latter is also a submarine mainly built in Germany for underwater navigation. It elongates the droplet shape and the underwater speed exceeds the water speed. It is the correct shape of the submarine.

But the internal and ordinary submarines are worlds apart. It also has a battery, but the capacity of the battery is less than one-fifth of the XXI submarine, and it is only used to provide emergency power.

Its rear, where the diesel engine was originally placed, has been replaced by a steam turbine, which is connected to the rear propeller through a reduction gear.

And up front, there's the Atomic Boiler, a monstrous powerhouse that can provide nearly unlimited endurance, a nuclear reactor.

In fact, even during World War II in history, Germany had already begun to develop nuclear reactors. At that time, it was just because they felt that the nuclear bomb could not be successfully built, so they had to change their thinking and find something to do.

In this time and space, Germany's technology has made great progress. Under the promotion of Cyric, a nuclear reactor test reactor has already been built in Syria. It has been operating safely for seven or eight years. For the development of nuclear submarines, they also built A special land simulation reactor has been developed. So far, the first generation of pressurized water reactors have been considered mature.

In order to ensure maximum safety, the pressure inside the nuclear reactor is not high and the power is not large, so that the submarine can only travel at a maximum speed of 15 knots, but it still has trans-epoch significance.

It doesn't need to surface during the entire mission, it will be an underwater ghost that can appear anywhere!

Nuclear submarines are a systematic project, not just installing nuclear reactors on conventional submarines. The entire layout has been changed, and there are some new systems, such as electrolysis of seawater to produce oxygen and electricity to desalinate seawater. new demands.

Ordinary submarines, fresh water is carried before departure, and oxygen is obtained by ventilation when floating, and nuclear submarines have to be underwater for a long time, and everything has to be solved by themselves, relying on sufficient electricity.

In addition to these, Cyric also proposed some new ideas, such as laying sound-absorbing tiles on the outside and using seven-blade large skew propellers. These proposals are all valuable, and technicians are studying them. These new technologies allow Although the nuclear submarine has been launched for a year or two, it is still undergoing testing.

For example, a few months ago, the nuclear submarine was sent to the dock for a major overhaul. The original three-blade propeller was cut off and replaced with a new seven-blade propeller. At the same time, the gear ratio of the reducer was changed. It was found that the underwater noise was greatly reduced.

It can be said that with the current technology, it is impossible to discover this terrifying nuclear submarine, an absolute deep hole in the ocean.

According to scientific principles, the nuclear submarine must undergo sufficient sea trials and be fully improved before mass construction.

And now, the German Navy can't wait to demand such a big guy.

"It is expected that it will take a few months from when we cut off the American fleet in the Atlantic Ocean to when they choose the Pacific route. During this time, enough for our submarines to be deployed." Cyric said: "This time , it's time for our submarines to perform brilliantly."

"Yes." Hearing the golden flowers in Dönitz's eyes, it was finally time for the submarine force to step on the main battlefield. Let them go to the Bering Sea to show their talents! In particular, at that time, the nuclear submarine had already completed the sea trial and could be tested in actual combat.

After discussing about the navy, Cyric continued to keep his eyes on the map.

Great progress has been made on the northern and central lines, while on the southern front, on the vast plains of Ukraine, German tank units are galloping across the country.

After the end of the battle in the Dubno-Lutsk-Rovno area, the German tank group is advancing to the front line of Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine.

Almost as in history, Cyric was waiting for a massive siege in Kyiv, which would continue to blow the Soviets' confidence. With Manstein in charge of the South Road, Cyric had no worries. of.

Cyric believed that news of victory in the siege of Kyiv would come soon.

"The Romanian army has also recently completed the transfer, and they plan to send troops soon to attack Osad." Keitel said to Cyric.

Odessa, a city in southern Ukraine, the capital of Odessa Oblast.

It is located 30 kilometers northeast of the mouth of the Transnistrian River into the Black Sea. It is the largest port city on the Black Sea coast and an important industrial, scientific, transportation, cultural, educational and tourism center.

For now, it is an important port in southern Ukraine, one of the bases of the Black Sea Fleet, and if Osad were acquired, it would block the passage of Soviet reinforcements from the sea.

And although Germany is strong, after all, the area spread out is too wide, and now it is better for the Romanian Legion to attack Osad for Germany.

"We don't have much strength now, and we can only dispatch a regiment or so to assist the Romanian army in the attack." Keitel said: "And the combat effectiveness of the Romanian army is definitely not comparable to that of our imperial army. , it seems that the battle to attack Osad may continue for some time, even more than a month."

"Yeah, our ground forces are very tense now. Before we have encircled and wiped out the defenders in Kyiv and Uman, we have no time to spare, but we can dispatch the navy and enter the Black Sea to reinforce the ground forces."

The Black Sea is almost the inland sea of ​​the Soviet Union, and the Mediterranean Sea can only be entered through the Turkish Strait. Now, the entire Mediterranean Sea is controlled by Germany, and the passage of the Soviet navy out is strictly controlled.

In this case, it is also impossible for the German Navy to enter the Black Sea and use the naval firepower to reinforce the ground battle.

"In order to avoid being attacked by the Soviet naval aviation, I propose to continue to use the Goethe-class aircraft carrier, with three aircraft carriers and sixty carrier-based aircraft, which are sufficient for these tasks," Raedl said.

The precious Count Zeppelin-class aircraft carrier is supposed to fight on the ocean, and Raidl doesn't want to suffer losses in the Black Sea.

Cyric nodded and was about to continue speaking when he saw Goebbels walk in with a strange expression on his face.

"Führer Cyric, I have a blood book here."
