The Third Reich: I seized power

“Your Excellency, UVIIC submarines will be the main force of the next submarine force of the Imperial Navy. Major shipyards have already received orders from the Navy and are starting to build this submarine in full force. Thirty-six UVIIC submarines are now under construction. Admiral Raeder said.

Hess nodded, remembering that in another time and space, the Third Reich had built 688 UVIIC submarines.

Actual combat has proved that this is undoubtedly a very good, or very practical, submarine.

This submarine also inflicted extremely heavy losses on the enemy in the Atlantic.

In this time and space, the Third Reich will also vigorously build this submarine.

Of course, further improvements will be made on this basis to build more powerful submarines. If it is possible to build a submarine with an AIP system, then naturally it would be better.

In that case, the submarine will be able to dive underwater for a long time, and the speed will be further improved. Such submarines are the real underwater killers. And unlike today’s submarines, most of the time they will only be able to sail on the surface, and only when fighting, they will be able to dive underwater for a short time.

“General Dönitz, what about the tactical exercises of submarines?” Hess asked.

“Your Excellency, the submarine force has already started using the wolf pack tactics you proposed during the exercise. After argumentation, this is definitely a tactic that is very suitable for submarine forces. Once the Imperial submarine force grows, we will implement wolf pack tactics on a large scale in the Atlantic in the future. This is an absolute disaster for our enemies! “Lieutenant General Dönitz is excited.

Wolf pack tactics are indeed very suitable tactics for submarines, once several or even more than a dozen submarines form wolves on the ocean, it will pose a huge threat to the enemy.

Once the submarine forces of the Third Reich appeared in large numbers in the Atlantic, the Sun Never Set Empire would probably have a headache. Even if the sea transportation lines are cut off, the powerful empire will become very vulnerable.

After discussing with Vice Admiral Dönitz some of the things to be aware of in the future use of the submarine force, Hess continued his tour of the shipyard.

Inside the shipyard, a large number of warships are under construction.

And the most striking thing is undoubtedly the aircraft carrier that is taking shape little by little on the huge slipway.

Hess and a group of people also came to this slipway.

In another time and space, the Third Reich Navy’s Qi Bolin-class aircraft carrier was not completed, only 85% of the construction was completed, and it had to be stopped because it had no resources.

The Third Reich at that time was resource-scarce, and the army, navy and air force needed a lot of resources. The army’s Tiger tanks, Panther tanks, various assault guns and armored vehicles, etc., all of which consume a lot of steel.

The Air Force’s large number of fighters and anti-aircraft guns also consume a lot of resources.

And the navy, too, is a big consumer of resources. Especially large surface warships, and even more so. H-class battleships, each with a displacement of more than 55,000 tons. Bismarck-class battleships, the displacement also reached more than 40,000 tons. If you add a ticket of battlecruisers and pocket battleships, more resources need to be consumed.

But in this time and space, Hess cut down the construction plans of those battleships, battle cruisers and pocket battleships, and spent all his resources on submarines and aircraft carriers, as well as aircraft carrier escort warships.

In this case, even if there will still be a shortage of resources.

However, with the strength of the Third Reich, there should be no problem in completing the 12 aircraft carriers in Project X.

Moreover, these 12 aircraft carriers were not built at once. Only four ships were built in the first batch, and construction of the next eight ships will not begin until these four ships are completed.

By then, perhaps the Third Reich would have won an overwhelming victory on the European continent and would be able to use more resources.

“Your Excellency, this is the Qi Bolin, the lead ship of the Qi Bolin-class aircraft carrier. The other three were built at other shipyards. It’s just that we have no experience in building aircraft carriers. It has not even been more than a decade since a large surface ship has been built. So, the construction progress is slow. It is expected that it will take three years to complete the construction. Admiral Raeder said.

Hess nodded, three years is not a short time, but it is still acceptable.

With the current shipbuilding strength of the Third Reich, it is naturally incomparable with Eagle Sauce.

As the Third Reich grew in strength, and even integrated into Europe in the future, it would make the Third Reich even more industrial. Even, it will not be worse than the country of eagle sauce.

Hess looked at the aircraft carrier Qi Bolin on the slipway, his eyes were blazing, this is the hope of the revival of the Third Reich Navy!
