super battleship

Chapter 10 The Gunship Machine Is Born
I saw that the entire aircraft carrier was like setting off fireworks, with explosions all over the body, and the last earth-shattering huge explosion directly blew the aircraft carrier into a burning torch!Then it began to sink slowly!
"Oh! My God! The flagship is sunk!"

"This is impossible!"

"why!!!"

Seeing the sinking of the aircraft carrier, the British cried and shouted, and their morale declined rapidly!But the German crew members were overjoyed and excited!

"Retreat, retreat! Without the aircraft carrier, if we don't retreat again, we will not even have enough fuel to go back!" Seeing the sinking of the aircraft carrier, the captain of the carrier-based aircraft brigade immediately ordered all the aircraft to return, and flew back to the UK before the fuel was exhausted. !These life-saving British gentlemen don't want to fall into the sea because of exhaustion of fuel and lose their lives!

And the remaining destroyers also quickly retreated. Without the aircraft carrier, their small arms and legs are not enough for a salvo of the Prinz Eugen's main guns!
"Huh!" Seeing that the British retreated, Zhang Fan finally let go of his hanging heart!

"Great job!" Zhang Fan commended the crew members of the ship, "Relying on everyone to fight tenaciously! We successfully defeated a British squadron! Defeating a fleet with one battleship is an unprecedented feat. Let us cheer! This is a moment of glory for you and for the German Navy!"

"Long live! Long live the Prinz Eugen! Long live Captain Zhang Fan! Long live the German Navy!"

The crew members who escaped from death are desperately venting their suppressed emotions!Yes!They won, and although they paid a great price, they defeated the enemy's fleet with one battleship. Such a great feat has never been seen before!

"Zero! Thank you! You put forward such a good opinion at a critical moment, let us turn defeat into victory, well done!" Zhang Fan said happily, stroking Ling's head

"This is Zero's responsibility! Why do you want to say thank you to Zero!" Zero asked puzzled

"Zero, this is my recognition of your performance and my recognition of your ability!"

"Zero still doesn't understand, but Zero likes this feeling! Zero will continue to work hard!" Zero smiled slightly

Seeing Ling's smile, Zhang Fan couldn't help being stunned, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses and say, "Ling, you should always smile in the future! Smiling is the greatest reward for me!"

"Huh? Huh!" Zero said with his head tilted in doubt.

. . . . . . . . .

The battle was over. This naval battle dealt a huge blow to the British. The Dunkirk retreat failed. The Anglo-French allied forces in Dunkirk watched their fleets being defeated and surrendered one after another. There was no more stubborn resistance. determination!The German Army easily captured a huge number of prisoners of more than 35 people!This battle dealt a huge blow to Britain and France, and made the follow-up war of aggression against France go smoothly. The British fleet stayed in its home port and never dared to come out to support!
At this time, Zhang Fan had returned to Wilhelmshaven with the captured enemy ships!This unprecedented victory brought him great popularity and honor!
The German Navy Ministry not only promoted his rank to brigadier general, but also directly formally independent the Valkyrie fleet commanded by Zhang Fan into a naval fleet, under Zhang Fan's full responsibility.And all the British warships he captured were allocated to Zhang Fan to enrich his fleet.

In this way, Zhang Fan's fleet inflated like a balloon.Now Zhang Fan already owns a battleship Prinz Eugen, 3 light cruisers, 6 destroyers, 10 submarines, and several other ships!This kind of strength is already equivalent to an official squadron!

The victory in this naval battle also brought Zhang Fan up to 20 points of willpower.With enough willingness at hand, Zhang Fan started a new round of battleship renovation.And step up communication with Krupp, hoping that the gunship he proposed can enter the verification as soon as possible and be purchased by the Luftwaffe! No way, the German Navy was not born by his own mother!The Luftwaffe is the real mother.Who wants Fatty Göring to be the favorite of Mustache, and the budget of the entire Luftwaffe is frighteningly large.And Fat Goering is a typical local tyrant who spends a lot of money.If you want to earn the first pot of gold, just sell arms to Goering!

During this period of time, the German attack was overwhelming. On May 1943, 5, the Dutch army surrendered. On May 14 of the same year, the Belgian army also surrendered!In early June, the German army broke through the defense lines established by the French army on the Somme and Aisne Rivers, and France fell completely!

At this time, Zhang Fan, who had waited so much for Krupp's arrival, was very excited to see the huge gunboat in front of him!Although this is a gunship aircraft temporarily modified by a transport aircraft, it is a weapon and equipment far beyond the design concept of the time after all.

"General Zhang Fan, congratulations on another heroic victory for Germany! Although we are in the rear, we can't help but yearn for your heroic achievements!" Krupp said.

"Mr. Krupp's reputation is too high. The victory of this battle is the result of the desperate struggle of all the crew members! I am not alone. Many heroic crew members died heroically. They are the heroes of the empire!"

"General Zhang Fan is too modest, but the main purpose of coming today is to hand over this experimental gunship to you. I hope you can modify this gunship so that our new product can successfully enter the air force market!" Krupp said.Now Zhang Fan's Miss Valkyrie can modify some equipment, which has been uploaded by some high-level people. Although it sounds quite magical, considering that Zero itself is quite a mysterious existence, some special abilities are not incomprehensible. up!Therefore, Krupp very much hopes that Zhang Fan can ask Zero to re-modify this gunboat according to Zhang Fan's idea, so as to achieve a perfect state!
"Don't worry! I will ask Zero to use her ability to modify this prototype, and the final result will definitely surprise you!" Zhang Fan promised!

After Krupp left, Zhang Fan quickly passed the data of the gunboat in his memory to Zero, "Zero, just modify it according to this, and see if it works!"

"AC-130H gunship, is this the gunship from the captain's original world?" Ling asked, and Ling took Zhang Fan across the road, so seeing Zhang Fan give a weapon that was completely different from the current world, Ling immediately guessed It turns out that this is a unique weapon and equipment in Zhang Fan's previous world.

“是的！AC-130H炮艇机，使用一门105mm榴弹炮，改进自陆军的105炮，加装反后座装置；一门福博斯40mm机关炮；两门20mmM61六管加特林炮。零你看看能不能完全复刻AC130H的战斗力！”

A stream of data flashed in Zero's eyes, "No, Captain, many related technologies are missing! Unless these technologies are supplemented, the same combat effectiveness of AC-130H cannot be achieved! But I will maximize the transformation of the existing AC-130H according to the design of AC-[-]H." This gunboat!"

"Okay! I'll leave it to you! Zero! There are still more than 30 aspiration points, and I allow no more than 10 aspiration points for this transformation. In short, what I want is a real sky fortress, to shock everyone's attention the kind!"

"Yes! Captain!"

Soon Zero began to modify this new gunboat.In order to minimize the cost of transformation, Zhang Fan ordered the logistics force to transport a large amount of metal materials and various types of artillery to this warehouse for zero use!

With the beginning of the transformation, Zhang Fan found that his willingness point began to drop rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the shape of the entire gunboat was also changing rapidly.After almost 10 hours, the transformation was completely complete.

"Captain, the mission has been completed! The new gunboat has been modified!"

"Oh! Zero, tell me about the performance of the new gunship!"

"Well! This new gunboat has optimized the overall body structure materials, greatly enhancing its load and impact strength. The materials and structures related to the power system have been optimized. At present, its battery life has doubled compared to before, enough to fly in the sky. Hovering for more than 7 hours, the range reaches 1500 kilometers, and the bottom armor is specially strengthened, which can withstand the direct hit of 40mm anti-aircraft guns. It is equipped with a 105mm howitzer, a 40mm machine gun, two 2mm machine guns, and 20 defensive machine guns. It has 6 rounds of ammunition !"

"Perfect, especially the protective ability!" Zhang Fan praised
"However, Captain, this is a specially-made machine, and it is impossible for conventional mass-produced models to achieve this kind of protection. According to estimates, according to the structure and production of this prototype, the protection capability of the mass-produced machine can only protect against 20mm anti-aircraft fire. The artillery hits directly, and the 105mm howitzer cannot be carried because the recoil force is too great! The fuselage strength does not meet the requirements!"

"It doesn't matter. It is enough to protect against direct hits from 20mm machine guns. Under normal circumstances, it is very difficult for ground anti-aircraft firepower to shoot down such heavily armored gunships! As long as there are enough gunships, they can be destroyed instantly. The enemy's air defense forces, in this era without aviation missiles, gunships are almost the nemesis of ground forces!" Zhang Fan said
