Chapter 957

The train swayed for three whole days. Even if it stopped at the station occasionally, people who came back from the prisoner of war camp could not go down to move. They were imprisoned in a small carriage, waiting for an unknown fate.

At this time, everyone already had a terrible premonition. These people are quite disgraceful to the Soviets. So, what will the Soviets do to them?

According to calculations, they must have passed Moscow long ago, and they are still going east. Where are they going?

In the corner of the carriage, Brother Timoshen fell asleep again. In the past few days, he wanted to understand a lot of things. Let's go with the flow. In this life, there will always be some ups and downs.

Finally, the train roared into the station again. When the door opened, the military police shouted loudly: "Go, come out immediately, follow along, and go to your dormitory."

Brother Timoshen got out of the car. Outside, a gust of cold wind blew everyone into a cold war. It was already night, the stars were shining, and you could see tall mountains all around.

Sure enough, just as he thought, Brother Timoshen sneered and shook his head. He has no status, and I am afraid that he will lose his military rank soon. What awaits him will be busy work.

When he got into his dormitory, a small room where more than 20 people lived, he had already seen someone inside.

That chunky guy.

Khrushchev took out a box of Dnieper cigarettes and said to him, "Would you like one?"

We met again, although Khrushchev ran away very early, but in the end, it was still the same ending. Brother Timoshen looked at Khrushchev, took the cigarette, and just lit it, it came from outside Voice: "Quick, come out, night shift tonight. Pothole No. 13."

With a cigarette in his mouth, Khrushchev picked up a shovel from the door: "Let's go, whoever leaves late will receive 'preferential treatment' from the foreman."

Brother Timoshen was smoking a cigarette and a shovel. He never thought that he would also have a time for reform through labor!

In the sky, the moon is still bright.

Far East, it is already early morning.

The climate of the island country is not cold, the grass on the field outside is covered with frost, and in the shipyard not far away, the workers who have worked hard all night are stopping to rest.

A Germanic face appears in the shipyard, and the workers of the shipyard are not surprised. Recently, such people often come here.

"Our project is progressing well, and sure enough this is the fastest solution."

Beside Rudel, Rear Admiral Omori Sentaro said to Rudel: "We have refitted five oil tankers, each of which can take off and land thirty Stuka bombers, so we will have another hundred more. Fifty bombers are coming. But now our bombers are not receiving fast enough."

At the beginning, Rudel was just a sentence, and as a result, the island country began to argue, and the final result was not bad. It is completely feasible to use the oil tanker to change the aircraft carrier.

In fact, it is not accurate to call them aircraft carriers. After all, these temporarily modified oil tankers are all civilian standards, without any armor protection, and the power system is quite low. They do not have the ability to sail quickly in formation with the main fleet. The only advantage , that is, after modification, it can take off and land carrier aircraft.

Rudel looked at the tankers in front. On the sideboards of these tankers, there were even cross marks, but they were not fully covered after being hastily brushed.

These tankers are all German. After transporting crude oil from the Middle East to the island country, they were taken over by the island country's navy and transformed.

In fact, the idea of ​​transforming merchant ships into aircraft carriers was not invented by Rudel. Many people can think of it.

when

After the Washington Naval Treaty and the London Naval Treaty, the number and tonnage of the main battleships and aircraft carriers of various countries were strictly limited. At that time, the island countries that were expanding their arms and preparing for war came up with a solution: building a large number of large high-speed passenger ships and cargo ships as "aircraft carrier reserve ships".

Civilian in peacetime, once a war or a treaty expires, it will be transformed into an aircraft carrier immediately. On the other hand, orders for a large number of ships can also maintain the shipbuilding industry of the island country, which is sluggish in the economic crisis, as the so-called kill two birds with one stone.

For example, since the island country won the right to host the 1940 Olympic Games in the mid-1930s, it immediately placed an order for the shipyard to manufacture two large-scale high-speed luxury cruise ships of 20,000 to 30,000 tons to serve as the ocean going from the island country to North America before and after the Olympic Games. Passenger missions.

For these two cruise ships, the government will bear 60% of the construction cost. After that, the two passenger ships were ordered to be directly transformed into aircraft carriers before they were completed, and were named the aircraft carriers Flying Eagle and Falcon.

It is a pity that this kind of transformation is not cheap, especially the dismantling of the original equipment of the passenger ship and changing it to military use has caused a lot of waste.

The Germans, on the other hand, have been prepared for a long time. Compared with the islanders, Germany is smarter.

In fact, there are oil tankers in the island countries, but the oil tankers in the island countries are not easy to be transformed. Most of them are about 10,000 tons and the displacement is not high. At the same time, their decks are not flat, and there are bridges in the front and rear. If they are to be transformed, the amount of work is quite High.

German oil tankers are much more convenient. Their displacement is almost 30,000 tons, which is the same as those oil tankers of later generations. They have broad and fat stomachs, but the deck is empty. There is nothing in front, only the last Near the engine is a small bridge.

Due to the high-speed diesel engine, the chimney is also small, and at the same time, whether intentional or not, the bridge can easily be split from the middle to become a side bridge, so that there is enough space to accommodate the flight deck .

After importing these tankers from Germany, the island country carried out a simple transformation, added a flight deck, cut off half of the bridge, and the aircraft carrier came out.

If we talk about the disadvantage, the speed of these ships is too slow, and the maximum speed is less than ten knots. This is also a common problem of diesel engines, and the horsepower cannot be too large. Moreover, the asking price of the Germans is really not cheap! If not in a hurry, the island nation really wants to start building this kind of thing in its own shipyard.

Without the lower hangar, all the aircraft must be placed on the deck, otherwise, at least fifty carrier aircraft can be operated! At the same time, oil can be loaded under the tanker to supply the fleet.

The idea of ​​being an aircraft carrier in wartime and an oil tanker in peacetime is much more convenient than using a cruise ship or something!

Due to the temporary increase of these programs, they can operate more carrier-based aircraft, so that the Stuka bombers are insufficient.

Rudel nodded: "Yes, we must get together the carrier-based aircraft as soon as possible. I will report it to the country and give priority to the production of our friends."

Rudel chuckled in his heart, Führer Cyric is often like a businessman!

In fact, the production capacity of Stuka in China is not a problem at all. Now, the islanders want to increase their orders urgently, and the German side deliberately delays, so they can use overtime or something to increase the price.

"Major General, advisor, Pheasant Fifty-six summoned two to attend the meeting." At this moment, a deputy came over and said.
