After several years of trouble, the German senior executives basically found out Hitler's temper. As long as the veteran generals and commanders who were not the army with their elm-headed heads remained dissatisfied with the Army Corporal, Commander Raidel was still relatively good at adapting.

After receiving the news, he immediately thought of the problems he might face. He prepared them before coming. Sure enough, it played a role at the critical moment, at least blocking Hitler's mouth that could squirt for several hours.

The "Hindenburg-class" battleship is a crucial part of the Navy's "Z Plan", including six powerful battleships. The design parameters of the first phase have been clear and have been submitted to Hitler for review, but the time is too long. It is estimated that Hitler has forgotten all of it, so how busy he is!

Redell knew his beard's usual preferences. Last time, the "Bismar-class" was criticized because of the small caliber of the main gun. Finally, it was a big deal, and the two battleships were quickly started. Needless to say, the problem lies in similar matters.

So before coming, the drawings he brought were already modified and upgraded. No matter whether they were suitable or not, they would deal with them first.

Hitler was quite concerned about naval construction. He often took part in combat ship design and proposed whimsical indicators from time to time, so that the stereotyped engineers would be busy. As for whether it was suitable or not... Anyway, he would have a new idea in a few days.

Now, the drawing instructions brought by Raidel were spread out on the desk, and he stretched his neck and looked at the turret first. He nodded in satisfaction. Yes, this time he finally got what he wanted.

Redell explained: "The original Hindenburg-class design used a 403mm dual main gun, but later we thought that we might face greater challenges, so on this basis, another 420mm main gun solution was added to ensure a unique advantage in caliber and range. But in this way, the displacement of the warship would increase from 53,000 tons to 60,000 tons..."

Before he could finish his words, Hitler waved his hand hard: "Don't consider those irrelevant issues. Germany's main warships must be invincible. There is no doubt about choosing a 420mm main gun. Our industrial technology is the best in the world, and nothing can be difficult for the excellent German workers!"

"As for your wishes, Head of State." Redel's mouth twitched slightly, and he had expected that this was the result.

However, it is not so easy to do it. Not to mention anything else, I don’t know where the 420mm main gun is. Of course, the skc34 type 15.9-inch (403mm) 52-caliber main gun developed before has been successful, and it has been cheated by the Chinese people to get some technology. However, the bigger one has not been designed and manufactured for the time being. It is just based on it, and it was directly expanded into a 420mm one and tried.

I have to say that Germany's metallurgy technology is indeed powerful. After being thinned, it becomes 48 times the diameter. The range, rate of fire and life of the body tube are not much changed. If it is sent to China for them to help harden it, it may be better. In this way, the design of the entire warship does not require a major change. Otherwise, the four double main turrets alone can kill the designers Hitler and not give time!

Redell was excited to see his appearance and suggested to strike while the iron was hot: "In order to ensure that the construction can be started as soon as possible, there is no need to make major design changes. We believe that the use of special alloys in armor belts and turret protection should be appropriately increased, so that more space and protection can be ensured at the same size. It can also allow the British who steal intelligence to make wrong judgments."

He should not turn around and start over! Otherwise, just a newly designed turret, main body and other work will at least be busy until next year. If the head of the army makes some trouble, the year of the monkey and horse month will be launched!

This excuse is good! Hitler slapped the table and cursed: "Annoying British guys! I'll deal with them sooner or later! Well, you have a very good opinion! Special alloys..."

Hitler pondered, but let Raidel raise his heart to his throat and prayed silently: "You just agree!"

The so-called "special alloy" refers to less than 100,000 tons of space ultralight alloy obtained from Zhu Bin. And hundreds of thousands of tons of titanium alloys that have been smelted over the years. Given the strength, scarcity and preciousness of these two alloys, Hitler personally arrested them, and even if they were used for one kilogram, he had to approve them. In addition, the bastard Gorene, who was in charge of the Air Force, saw the benefits and repeatedly asked the Air Force to keep as much as possible so as to build several bulletproof aircraft that "no one can kill" for use for the Head of State.

In fact, those who secretly have to be fake for personal gain, but Hitler likes it very much. The leather of the plane is too thin, and the heavy machine gun can be swept off. It is made of space alloy and titanium alloy. Although it is expensive, it is safe! Nothing is more important than his own life.

Not only special planes, but also his special cars, trains, residences, and defense forces' bulletproof vests are made of these two alloys and Kevlar's inner lined composite armor. Not to mention indestructible, at least half of the methods cannot kill him.

Hitler was not the kind of short-sighted person, on the contrary, he was very talented and stubborn. The last time he built the "Bismar-class", he used thousands of tons of titanium alloy, space alloy layer, and Kevlar lining in the main armor belt, bridge, main turret, etc., and the hull space was a little bigger than the original design, with a reduction in displacement by two or three thousand tons, and a speed increased by one.

Adhering to the construction principle of "few but fine", Germany cannot compete with the British devils for the number of warships, so it is inevitable to strengthen the quality.

Finally, Hitler nodded heavily: "Yes! You must not let the British know too much! Or you can give them a big surprise! Well, this matter must be done quickly! Erich, we are very nervous!"

Commander Erich Redell nodded solemnly: "I understand! Please rest assured, the Navy will definitely not drag you down."

Hitler nodded with satisfaction: "I have always been very relieved about your abilities!"

Redel wanted to roll his eyes and protest. He was very dissatisfied just now, and the Head of State was still changing as ever!

However, it is enough to handle the scene. Redell has made up his mind that as much as possible, the main body of the warship can be changed without much trouble. The caliber of the main gun must be according to the wishes of the Head of State. The turret design should not change much, but fine adjustments such as the cannon bore and the bomb lifting machine must be provided. In addition, the armor belt needs to be adjusted in all aspects. It is very likely that some plasma welding machines and composite armor materials must be imported from the Chinese...

With such adjustments, the indicators of Germany's new main ships were initially determined, with a standard displacement of 56,000 tons, a full load displacement of 63,000 tons, a total length of 278 meters, a waterline of 267 meters, a total width of 38 meters, a draft of 9.6 meters, and a total power of 165,000 horsepower. The maximum speed of 30 knots and a range of 16,000 nautical miles (19 knots).

The main weapon is 4 double-mounted 420mm48-diameter artillery guns, the secondary guns are 6 12-door 150mm high-level dual-purpose guns, 8 16-door 105mm anti-aircraft guns, 8 16-door 37mm anti-aircraft guns, and 6 24-door 20mm quadruple-mounted anti-aircraft guns, etc. In terms of air defense firepower, it can be said that it spares no effort.

The armor still uses mature and comprehensive armor design. The difference is that when referring to some advanced experiences of Chinese colleagues, while retaining the dome structure, a layer of compartment is reduced with the upper deck. All power systems, ammunition chambers, oil, etc. are sunk as much as possible, so that fragile key facilities can be protected to the greatest extent.

In addition to Germany's strongest KCNA and WH steel, the armored belt is specially hung with a high-strength outer layer composed of space alloy and titanium alloy. A large number of thick Kevlar armor linings are used outside the first layer of compartment, ammunition warehouse, oil warehouse and power tank.

In this way, the defense capability of the entire warship can be said to have increased dramatically! It has increased from 300mm of the original main side of a single armor to 384mm theoretical thickness. The strength and elasticity have increased greatly. The front of the turret, command tower and other key parts are above 420mm. With multiple layers, if you want to penetrate into the inner compartment and cause damage, the shells that are shot need to penetrate at least 550,600mm of composite armor and at least 150mm thick Kevlar lining layer to achieve this.

The advantages of comprehensive armor and dome design are reflected in this. No matter what angle and distance the armor-piercing bombs are attacked, they must face layer by layer. Instead of being able to achieve success by punctured one layer, the explosion is absorbed by the lining plate and compartment. After buffering, the squeezing and impact damage of the hull keel are reduced accordingly. Based on the calculation, the survivability of the warship is almost doubled.

Especially after full load, the dome armor is almost horizontal and the main structure that is placed in the lower layer. In addition to safety, the stability and wave resistance of the hull have been greatly improved, which is especially suitable for the North Sea and Atlantic battlefields with harsh conditions. It has to be said that the Germans' design ability is still very strong.

The only disadvantage is that compared with the key protection designs adopted by other countries, the weight of the warship armor has increased greatly and the complexity is much higher. In terms of total tonnage, it is at least two or three thousand tons or even more higher than others. The corresponding speed will be affected. It can be combined with Germany's unique strategic concept, and it is difficult to say who is right and who is wrong.

In any case, Commander Redell finally passed another level. In fact, when he thought about it, this kind of thing might not be bad. Without the repeated pressure from external forces, Hitler might not have been able to demand the navy to speed up the pace of construction in such a fire.

As the commander of the navy, isn’t he most happy to see the greatest rapid increase in armed forces?

The only regret is that the construction of the "Zeperlin-class aircraft carrier" cannot be carried out quickly. The first one finally completed the main construction, but the carrier-based aircraft was unable to be supplied for a long time. It was not that Germany could not manufacture it, but that the damn Goering shouted that "all those flying in the sky are under my control." He insisted on putting the fighter jets on the aircraft carrier into his jurisdiction. Isn't this nonsense? Without aircraft, aircraft carriers are useless!

The construction of the second ship is imminent. Taking advantage of the experience of Chinese friends, almost all of them have been pushed back. Some of the mixed designs learned from the British and Japanese were abandoned. They were completely enclosed and straight-through decks, obliquely wide decks, compact small ship islands, three-sided lifts, sloping leaps and takeoffs, obstruction cable recycling and deck management, etc., were exchanged for valuable top-secret information. The new drawings look refreshing and may not be built and served smoothly?

Still unknown! (To be continued...)
