Chapter 5 Prinz Eugen

This award brought great benefits to Zhang Fan, and the subsequent secret gathering brought more surprises to Zhang Fan!

In the evening at the Führer's private residence, a very secret gathering began.The party was attended by the Mustache Führer, SS Chief Heinrich Himmler, Air Marshal Hermann Göring, Admiral Dr. Erich Raeder, Reich Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels, Germany The Supreme Commander of the Wehrmacht, William Keitel, and other big figures from various departments in Germany gathered together!
And their purpose is to introduce Zhang Fan in this small circle and draw Zhang Fan into the Ancestor Committee!

Zhang Fan is really not used to such scenes of high-class people toasting with each other.After all, in his previous life, he was a science and engineering nerd, an engineer who worked part-time to death.It's okay to communicate with ordinary people, but it's not so smooth to communicate with so many big people.

"Close comrades of the Ancestors Committee, please be quiet." Seeing that Zhang Fan's communication with his companions was clearly lacking, the mustache head didn't waste any more time, and started directly!
"Everyone is here to welcome our new comrade, Colonel Zhang Fan. He is a great warrior and the pride of the German Empire. On behalf of the Council of Ancestors, I invite Colonel Zhang Fan to join our secret society!"

As soon as Mustache finished speaking, everyone in the audience applauded enthusiastically.

Zhang Fan has also made preparations long ago, and now is the starting point for him to get better support in Germany.He needs more resources to evolve Zero, and it all depends on whether he can get enough support from this secret society today.

Zhang Fan walked up to the front desk and delivered some simple speeches. Although he was a little interfering, after all, as a new hero in the minds of the Germans, he could still attract the favor of some people.

This small gathering soon broke up, and after most of the people left, the mustache head left Zhang Fan alone to talk at night by candlelight!And Zhang Fan knew that now was the time to negotiate terms.After some negotiations, Zhang Fan successfully met his basic requirements.

Created a task force for Zhang Fan.This fleet consists of a heavy cruiser, a supply ship, and 10 submarines.

The 10 submarines act as Zhang Fan's eyes and ears, responsible for inquiring about the situation ahead and reporting it to Zhang Fan in time.The heavy cruiser commanded by Zhang Fan independently decides whether to launch an attack according to the situation ahead.

Zhang Fan will of course have to pay a certain price for giving command of a fleet.Mustache has high hopes for Zhang Fan.This independent formation needs to complete the hunting mission of the British Navy.Although it does not need to participate in large-scale naval battles, it must frequently attack British maritime transport.

In addition, the mustache head of state also needs to give special publicity to Zhang Fan's record. Germany needs heroes now, and Zhang Fan is a very suitable naval battle hero.Moreover, he is a new hero who has a super warrior as a partner, and the mustache head who crazily worships the mysterious existence is extremely important to Zero!But Ling obviously only wants to stay with Zhang Fan, and a twisted melon is not sweet, so as long as Zhang Fan is firmly trapped, Ling is trapped!

With the completion of the prostitution, oh wrong, the negotiation was completed, Zhang Fan also left Berlin and returned to Wilhelmshaven!

Nothing to do, soon 3 months passed.The task force specially set up for Zhang Fan was also completed, and Zhang Fan transferred most of the sailors who had previously served in Z16 to this new heavy cruiser, the Admiral Sipper-class heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen.

起初张帆看到这艘后世非常有名的欧根亲王号时都大吃了一惊。张帆实在是没想到小胡子元首这么给力居然把这艘后世非常有名的战舰指派给他！欧根亲王号建造于20世纪30年代中叶。1936年4月23日，欧根亲王号的在基尔克虏伯船厂开始铺设龙骨，1938年8月22日，欧根亲王号下水并于1940年8月1日服役。1941年4月参加“莱茵演习”行动，5月24日与“俾斯麦”号战列舰一起参加了著名的丹麦海峡海战，先后击中英国皇家海军“胡德”号战列巡洋舰和“威尔士亲王”号战列舰。其后因为俾斯麦的受损而必须跟俾斯麦分开行动，躲过了被英国皇家海军围炉的命运。

As a heavy cruiser with high hopes by the German Navy, Prinz Eugen failed to independently sink any enemy warships throughout her life, but miraculously survived every fierce battle, which can be called a legend of the German Navy.And the unfortunate thing is that shortly after leaving the escort team, the capital ships escorted by her were either sunk or severely damaged. Later, in the Cerberus-Thunder operation that was withdrawn to the German mainland in early 42, Prince Eugen was unscathed, and her misfortune The sisters Scharnhorst and Gneisenau were both injured by mines.Xiangrui's identity and position are confirmed again.In the remaining years, she supported the bombing of the Eastern Front and the East Prussian retreat at the end of the war, and then ushered in the end of the war. She was the only large surface combat ship in Germany at the end of the war.It has witnessed the history of the entire Third Reich from prosperity to decline, and was compensated to the United States after the war.And this is not over. In July 1946, the Prinz Eugen participated in the nuclear test held by the United States in Bikini Atoll, and served as the target ship of the atomic bomb together with Nevada, Saratoga and other ships.After two nuclear explosions to watch the artificial sun, it still did not sink, but it was severely radioactively polluted and became a scrap ship, and was towed to Kwajalein Atoll for disposal.Due to the radioactivity of the hull, it could not be repaired, and it did not sink until it flooded in Kwajalein Atoll on December 7.This ship is as strong as the Yukikaze of the Sun Country!
Throughout the life of the Prinz Eugen, she has never been sunk, and she is still extremely strong even after being hit by two atomic bombs.So Zhang Fan is very satisfied with this super lucky battleship!

欧根亲王号准排水量14240吨，装备有4座双联装203毫米主炮、6座双联装105毫米高平两用炮、6座双联装37毫米高炮、6门20毫米高炮和4座三联装533毫米鱼雷发射管，舰体装甲最厚处达80毫米，最大航速达到32.5节，还有4架阿拉多196(Ar-196)式水上飞机，舰员最多为1600人。

In order to strengthen this legendary battleship to the greatest extent, Zhang Fan deliberately applied for a large amount of armor and various metal resources from the mustache head, and then let Zero consume more than 9 willingness points to completely strengthen Prince Eugen from beginning to end.

After strengthening, the displacement of Prinz Eugen will reach 26500 tons, and the power and range of the main guns and torpedoes will be doubled. The armor strength of the super-enhanced hull is equivalent to 240mm homogeneous armor, but due to excessive armor enhancement, the maximum speed enhancement will be affected. , only reached 35 knots, and 4 Arado 196 (Ar-196) seaplanes have also been modified and strengthened, strengthening the speed and flight altitude, which is convenient for faster detection of the enemy!
It took a total of 3 months to complete this set of enhancements.
