Chapter 263 Greedy FW190
"Woo, woo!" With the sound of the whistle, the huge aircraft carrier Zeppelin started slowly!
After the design, the chimney was cleverly designed to the rear of the bridge, so as not to block any line of sight. At this time, on the bridge, everyone was in high spirits.
Hitler is very excited. Since the last time Cyric told Hitler with a living example that the survivability of battleships under dive bombing is very low, Hitler has been very interested in dive bombers, and the navy has aircraft carriers, It was also in this case that it was passed.
Now that the aircraft carrier has set sail, Hitler felt the stability of the sea giant and was even more proud.
"By the way, why didn't you see the carrier-based aircraft?" Hitler suddenly remembered something.
Hearing Hitler's question, Captain Hans Langsdorf replied immediately: "The carrier-based aircraft on our aircraft carrier are not carried at sea, but are on land, waiting for us to sail. At sea, the carrier will fly over, land on the aircraft carrier, and join us."
In later generations, Langsdorf became famous as a true imperial soldier.
The German navy was not strong, and Langsdorf commanded the pocket battleship Admiral Graf-Spee, active in the Indian and Atlantic Oceans, attacking British merchant ships.
Within a few months, his warships sank nine enemy merchant ships, but did not kill any enemy merchant crews.
The British sent three cruisers "Ejax", "Achilles" and "Exeter" to track the "Admiral Graf-Spee" for several months.
In the South Atlantic Ocean near Montevideo, the two sides encountered each other. Although it was one against three, Langsdorf became more and more brave in Vietnam.
Heavy damage to the cruiser "Exeter", the battle continued into the night, and the "Admiral Graf-Spee" suffered heavy losses. In order to repair the battleship, Langsdorf commanded the battleship to sail to the port of Montevideo in neutral Uruguay. As a result, the German warships were only allowed to stay here for 72 hours. Unable to repair the warship.
As captain, Langsdorf transferred most of his sailors to the German merchant ship Tacoma, also in the port of Montevideo, with the pocket battleship Admiral Graf-Spee. The other 40 crew members on the ship left the port and sailed to sea.
After leaving Uruguay's 3-nautical-mile territorial waters, they dropped anchor and the crew were transferred to lifeboats, where they blew up the Admiral Graf-Spee.
And Colonel Langesdorf, having done all this, took out his pistol, committed suicide, and went after his battleship.
Although the German Ministry of Defense criticized Langsdorf's behavior at the time, he and his warships won respect, including his opponents.
This is the real soldier of the Empire!
So, at Cyric's suggestion, Langsdorf was finally selected from among the many naval officers to be the captain of the aircraft carrier.
In fact, in the experience of later generations, it is best to choose the captain of the aircraft carrier from the pilots of the carrier-based aircraft. However, the German aircraft carrier has just started, and there is no such rich technical reserve. It can only be obtained from the existing personnel. in selection.
After becoming the captain of the aircraft carrier, Langsdorf was even more conscientious. He was not only familiar with the entire aircraft carrier and all the essentials of operation, but also completed the take-off and landing course of carrier-based aircraft. He is the best Naval officer!
Now, when it comes to the operation of an aircraft carrier, Langsdorf is very familiar with it.
It is impossible for the aircraft on the aircraft carrier to be hoisted by elevators on the shore, and they all land on their own!
"Is the navy still proficient in operating those two-wing He51 aircraft?" Goering asked strangely.
At the beginning, the Navy wanted the BF109 fighter, but Goering disagreed. After that, due to various reasons, he finally gave a part of the He51. Anyway, the junk air force did not need it, and the Spanish ones stayed in Spain directly.
The Navy has been training He51, and these Gorings are clear. He wants to ridicule a few words, what is the use of such an aircraft carrier?
Langsdorf did not answer his words, he said to Hitler: "Führer, look back, our naval aviation is about to land."
The bridge has a wide field of vision, and you can clearly see the surrounding situation. Now, you can see the rear, a formation of aircraft is flying towards this side!
Goering's eyes widened, his chest was rising and falling rapidly, indicating that he was a little excited at this time.
Those planes are not biplanes at all!
Those are all monoplanes, very similar to their own BF109. The layout of the lower monoplane, however, you can see the shape of the cockpit, which is the latest bubble cockpit! The pilots inside, as if riding on a fighter jet, not only have a good forward and downward viewing angle, but also have excellent rear vision!
That alone will make the pilots love it! If you can turn your head and see the enemy plane chasing after you, of course it is the best!
"These are the FW190 fighter jets that were completely invested and developed by our navy." Navy Commander Reeder said proudly: "The technical data of our navy aircraft in all aspects exceeds that of the BF109, for example, it is installed with It is a 1,800-horsepower engine with excellent maneuverability, and he uses a Mauser MG 151/20 20mm cannon with fierce firepower. At the same time, as a professional carrier-based aircraft for the Navy, it has a maximum range of more than 2,000 kilometers."
This is of course showing off. At first, the Air Force did not let the Navy use the BF109 fighter jets, which was humiliating all the Navy personnel. Now, the Navy has developed the latest fighter jets, which are much more advanced than the Air Force fighter jets!
The current DB601 has just crossed the threshold of 1300 horsepower. Although Mercedes-Benz is still working hard, it was not until the latest modified DB605 engine of later generations that it was expanded to 1800 horsepower, which was already at the end of World War II.
Now, BMW's engine has a powerful power of 1,800 horsepower in the early stage. This engine uses the same engine as the large passenger aircraft of Hughes, and has been supported by many materials in the United States. It has become a most advanced engine. Aerodynamics!
The engine alone is enough to make people enviable. As a veteran of flying, Goering certainly knows that the most important thing for an aircraft is the engine!
And this kind of aircraft, not only the engine is advanced, the others are good, the maximum range is more than a few streets away from the Air Force fighters, with a range of more than 2,000 kilometers!
Goring was instantly greedy.
