Bismarck
Page 98
Lütjens was of course against it, but Zeppelin didn't listen to him, so he had to call Bismarck. But Bismarck, who always agreed with him, sided with Zeppelin, which made him very depressed.
Bismarck even proposed an even more incredible idea - a naval tactic called aircraft carrier battle group. In her "concept", aircraft carriers are the core strike force of the entire fleet, and the remaining warships, including cruisers, destroyers, and even battleships are the escorts of aircraft carriers. Aircraft carriers have become the main means of output for the navy.
Such words made Lütjens completely uneasy. Although he agreed to cooperate with the Air Force, Bismarck's idea was equivalent to completely placing the Navy's main battleships in a subordinate position. To put it nicely, it was a Guardian, but if it was a smooth battle, wouldn't it be just a bystander? !
"You are a battleship after all. Is it really okay to downgrade yourself from a main force to a different role?"
After nightfall, Lütjens felt that he should have an in-depth conversation with his flagship...but a sentence from the flagship choked him.
"Captain, I'm not worried at all, why are you worried..."
"If it doesn't work, let's deduce it." said his battleship.
"Okay, let's try it."
The result was beyond Lütjens's expectation. In the war game simulation, his fleet consisting mainly of large ships and cannons was defeated by a fleet centered on aircraft carriers...
"Take my naval guns as an example. The maximum range is only 30 kilometers. However, the range of carrier-based aircraft has long exceeded this range. Early detection and early attack, so the result is obvious." Bismarck said proudly.
Therefore, he had to acknowledge the strategic concept proposed by Bismarck, but at the same time he also warned her not to tell anyone, because there were still strong conservative forces within the navy. If they knew about it, they would go crazy after hearing this.
"It's okay. Under the cover of the Bismarck battleship, you don't have to worry about Zeppelin being attacked by other warships." Lütjens touched his nose and said to Udet with a wry smile.
“··· ···”
"…In terms of the specific operation of carrier-based aircraft, according to the relevant concepts learned by our navy from Japan, the most important thing is landing, followed by aircraft carrier deck management, and then the optimization of aircraft load… The aircraft landing can be equipped with high-power landing auxiliary light signals (PS: Japan was the first country to use light signal landing in history), and through training, the landing differences caused by the different distances between the cockpit and the tail hook when different types of aircraft land. Then, on this basis, we will carry out training on maritime navigation and maritime formation flying. I believe that the elite pilots of the German Air Force have a lot to learn from the Navy in terms of specific tactical qualities and combat spirit…"
The representatives of the German Air Force were collectively flattered. Lütjens, the representative of the Navy, continued to touch his nose with a wry smile. Fortunately, he was there. If other conservatives heard this statement, they would explode directly...
"…Due to the limitation of the number of elevators and the lifting time, the efficiency of carrier-based aircraft operations may mainly depend on the management of the flight deck…A management and dispatch cabin can be set up on the bridge to specifically command the efficiency of the splint dispatch. Considering the need to take into account the need to command the landing, it is recommended to set it up in a position where the stern of the ship can be seen…"
ps: In response to the public's call, Zeppelin is here. Don't ask me why I set 780 to be familiar with carrier-based aircraft tactics. How can I be awesome without this? So don't worry about it. There may be more updates in the evening! Please give me a monthly ticket! ! ! !
Chapter 155: A Dirty Deal (Part 2)
Lütjens and Udet continued to look at each other and nod.
"... Zeppelin's hangar is divided into two floors. After deducting the elevator, the total length is 356 meters, the width is 15 meters, and the area is 5340 square meters. Both BF109T and JU87C are aircraft with foldable wings, and the floor space is less than 12X4... In fact, the hangar can accommodate more than 82 aircraft at most! Fortunately, the aircraft produced by the German Air Force for us are still enough. There are 109 BF60Ts alone and 87 JU50Cs... The German Navy sincerely thanks the German Air Force for its efforts for the Greater German Empire..."
The German Air Force representatives were flattered X2, and Bismarck was laughing secretly below. It seemed that his sister still had a lot of resentment towards the navy.
But it was better this way, at least from the Air Force's point of view, the person recommended by Lütjens must be a navy man. Coming from a navy man, these words undoubtedly made the Air Force representative feel very comfortable.
"…For carrier-based aircraft, we also put forward the following suggestions: First, the wings of BF109T can be completely modified into laminar wings and a new auxiliary beam can be set at the front connection point to improve the wing strength. A slight increase in the wing chord length can also increase lift… In fact, this is also beneficial for the Air Force's own BF109 to increase its performance and improve its improvement potential! In addition, the central axis MG151 aircraft gun, the addition of a first-stage supercharger and an intercooler to improve combustion efficiency, and then the fuel tank capacity of BF50 can be increased from the current 20L to 109-400L by canceling the MW650 and N700 containers. In this way, the range can be increased from the current 700 kilometers to about 1000 kilometers while keeping the total weight unchanged, thereby providing sufficient range for JU87C and long-range bombers…"
Dr. Messerschmitt couldn't help but clap his hands slightly. He felt that this girl recommended by the Navy had a good understanding of the Air Force's technology and was not just talking in superficial terms.
"The JU87C's range has been extended far enough due to the increased fuel. In fact, it can be carried a little less to increase its carrying capacity. After all, 250KG is still a bit low... The bombs that the Air Force uses to attack solid fortresses on the ground are 500KG..."
A bunch of people nodded as they listened.
But at this moment,
"Report!" A confidential staff officer of the navy came in, walked straight to Lütjens, bent down and whispered to him, "General, Commander-in-Chief Raeder wants to talk to you. Please answer the phone."
"Rayder? Okay, I know."
Lütjens nodded, turned around and said sorry to Udet, then stood up and walked out with the confidential staff.
Before he could reach the door, another "report" was heard, and a staff officer in air force uniform came in, walked to Udet's side, and called him out as well.
Many people, including Bismarck, looked at him in surprise.
We are busy at the same time... What a coincidence.
But no one thought much about it, especially the leaders of the aviation and shipbuilding industries, as military affairs were none of their business.
The entourage of the two military branches who came with the two admirals did not think much about it. The military's confidentiality discipline is not to ask questions that should not be asked. Zeppelin's speech was obviously not affected and she continued her report.
But... there is also a Persian cat who was killed by curiosity...
On the one hand, she was more interested in her own captain's actions, and on the other hand, she also eavesdropped on Udet who went out at the same time. However, she was surprised to find that it seemed that both parties received the same notification.
"We received intelligence from the French front. Our people said that they took military action against the British evacuation convoy organized in Dunkirk last night... They said that they and the navy (air force) accidentally cooperated in a joint operation, and the effect was said to be very good. The officers and soldiers on the front hope to take joint actions in the future?... So let's ask their navy (air force) for their opinions? Yes, I understand! Yes! Yes!"
The specific instructions received by both parties from their superiors can be summarized in similar words.
In Bismarck's perception, the two admirals received calls with basically the same content. When the two admirals walked out of the confidential room and their own communication vehicles with radios and met each other in the corridor outside the conference room, they exchanged a tacit glance and walked to a corner together. The captain reached out his hand and took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and the other almost simultaneously took out a lighter in tacit understanding...
"Although it is not very suitable to talk now, but I have received a notice from above that some of my tasks are related to your Air Force." Lütjens smiled and spoke.
"That's great. I also have something to say, and it's also what the higher-ups asked me to do." Udet said with a smile.
"Oh? What a coincidence? Then let's guess what it is?" Lütjens said with a smile.
"What are you still guessing about? Just tell me, Dunkirk!"
"Hahaha." Both sides looked at each other and laughed.
"Got it?" The captain took out a cigarette and threw it to General Ernst. General Ernst took the cigarette and used a lighter to light it for the captain and then for himself. In this small corner, the two admirals started the dirty deal that Beethoven talked about...
The captain took a puff of his cigarette and said, "What a coincidence, it's all about the same thing."
"Yes, so I will tell the truth. Our boss has no objection, and I personally think this matter is beneficial to both of us. What does your boss say?"
Udet was a man who would do what he thought was right, without much beating around the bush, so he expressed his attitude directly. (PS: Ernst's character is a historical fact. He was a fighter pilot on the front line and later a technician, so he was not very cunning, so he was eventually played to death by Milch in the political arena...)
The captain nodded. There was no need to go around in circles. After all, both of them were from frontline troops, true soldiers who said what they meant, not politicians in uniform.
"As for Redl, he has some opinions and views to say, after all, the two services have been separated for so many years. But in principle, he still agrees to try this out first. As for me, I personally support cooperation between the two services. After all, it is indeed beneficial to both of us."
"Well, in that case, should we send people to each other's headquarters to contact each other? We can discuss specific issues when we encounter them?"
"No problem!" The captain nodded. "It's important to start contacting first. After all, the troops ahead can't wait."
"Okay! Great!"
"Ha ha ha ha"
Ps: The chapter number of the previous chapter was written wrong, um, it should be 154. Please vote for me. Let me say a few more words about the KanColle's rebellion... How can they deal with the United States and the Taurus if they don't rebellion? The sea will not collapse. If you want to fail, please @东线, hahaha. And please @克罗斯~ I don't know if anyone still remembers him.
Chapter 156: Bismarck is coming
In the early morning of May 5, the sky in the distant east began to turn pale.
In the half-light and half-dark night, on the rough sea off the coast of Dunkirk, a giant warship (rat) with a full load displacement of 50,000 tons was rapidly crossing the waves on the sea. The high-speed rotating propeller drew a long wake behind it, and with the rise and fall of the ship's hull, from time to time the bow would splash water more than ten meters high, covering the sky and the earth.
If people on land saw this scene, they would surely be amazed at how spectacular it is. Mankind's pursuit of power is almost perfectly embodied in this behemoth. This is the pride of civilization!
However, on this steel battleship that represents civilization and iron blood, there seems to be a little bit of "inharmonious" scene that is irrelevant to the atmosphere - on the ear platform on the front of the front bridge tower mast, a cute little warehouse (war) mouse (ship) with pink hair and a strand of adobe on its head is standing listlessly next to the searchlight, looking outside with boredom - this is Tirpitz who was driven out for duty by Lindemann...
Her body swayed with the ship. She squinted her eyes and yawned from time to time, looking like she was about to fall on the searchlight.
And he seemed to be mumbling something in his mouth. When I listened closely, it seemed to be
"Lindemann, you bad bastard!! (There seems to be a sound of grinding teeth here)"
"After shooting down the planes, they went on to shoot down the torpedo boats. After shooting down the torpedo boats, they were not given a break and were asked to shine a searchlight on the mines... (yawn)"
"I'm so sleepy. I want to go to sleep (starts blowing bubbles through nose)..."
Actually, you don’t need to sleep... Lindman sneezed for no reason and thought silently.
She was swaying and muttering to herself, not looking serious at all, but in fact, she turned the searchlight from time to time, pretending to turn it in a certain direction casually.
For Tirpitz, the situation in the surrounding waters had already been clearly detected. She knew which directions had mines and which places were safe.
But now is not the time for main gun firing. There are crew members on the deck. If the anti-aircraft guns suddenly sound and anti-mine operations begin, people will be scared... So, reluctantly, Tirpitz illuminated the targets one by one and let the crew blow them up - this is why Tirpitz felt so bored.
Then she yawned and opened the sunshade of the floodlight.
The bright light beam was seen scanning back and forth on the undulating sea surface, and "accidentally" it suddenly stopped at one place. The crew looked subconsciously and saw a hideous sea mine with protrusions like a sea urchin among the waves, reflecting the cold light of steel...
"I saw a mine!!!"
"Ready, point to the light, fire!"
At a command from a junior officer on the deck, the anti-aircraft firepower on one side opened fire towards the sea.
With a few "da da da..." or "dong dong dong..." sounds, the ugly steel hedgehog instantly turned into a fireball, and a column of water exploded in the explosion...
During these hours, Tirpitz took destroyers and minesweepers, guarding against British air raids and torpedo boat night attacks while clearing nearby mines.
Lindemann was well aware that tomorrow would be a fierce battle and was making preparations in advance, so an open sea area was necessary.
In order to give the minesweepers behind him a little "dignity", Lindemann has told Tirpitz to reduce its efficiency a bit. But even so, seeing Tirpitz "strolling" in the minefield while "methodically" clearing the mines along the way, the sound of mine explosions kept ringing. The high efficiency of minesweeping left the four professional minesweepers behind with almost nothing to do...
This frightened the entire fleet so much that all the warships lost a deck of eyeballs and kept rolling into the sea. Everyone looked in the direction of the Tirpitz's command tower with horror, secretly wondering who Lindemann was - the battleship actually took the lead in rushing into the minefield, and it was a minesweeper that was clearing the mines... It was crazy to think about it.
It is said that some sailors have started to secretly set up gambling games, betting on whether Lindemann is a person with supernatural powers, or some kind of monster... Everything is exactly the same as Bismarck's original situation, except that the object of the bet has been changed to the captain, and Lindemann has been inexplicably implicated.
Lindemann, who was standing by the railing of the bridge and began to sneeze inexplicably, seriously suspected that he had a cold. His physical condition did not seem to be so bad...
He asked his orderly to bring him another windbreaker, as it seemed that the sea breeze in the early morning was still a bit cold.
Lindemann quickly put on her clothes and turned to look at the pink-haired hamster above her head that kept fiddling with the searchlight. No matter whether the weather was hot or cold, she always wore a black suit and short skirt, and her sister Bismarck did the same.
Because they have no metabolism, their clothes will basically remain clean as long as they don't roll on the ground, and will not be contaminated by body fluids like humans.
Non-humans are good, there are not so many constraints. Lindemann stared at the unaware Tirpitz. Is Tirpitz immortal? Thinking of this actually made him a little jealous.
But this is probably an unsolvable mystery.
As he was thinking, he didn't know why his eyes moved to the slender legs of his own battleship... The long black stockings wrapped the fair and plump skin underneath. It was obviously a projection of the battleship, but it was softer than a human body. With her every move, the pink skirt swayed slightly, revealing the thigh roots that the stockings could not cover from time to time. The scenery was simply...
"Ahem." Lindeman clenched his fist and coughed awkwardly. He felt that his mentality was developing in a bad direction...
He forced himself to focus on Tirpitz's face, and then saw that she was mumbling something. Well, he knew without thinking that she must be mumbling something again. Unconsciously, his eyes were full of tenderness.
"Captain, the liaison team sent by the Air Force and the liaison officer of the Navy will arrive in five minutes by seaplane! And a squadron of fighter jets will follow to provide us with air cover!" At this moment, a very unpleasant voice sounded behind him. Was it the telegraph operator?
Lindemann turned his head and looked, and it was indeed him.
"I understand. You can go down now." He didn't get angry. After thinking about it, he reached out and opened the cover of the microphone.
"Attention all the relevant positions on the ship. I am Captain Lindemann. The liaison team sent by the Air Force will arrive in 5 minutes. At the same time, the escort fighters of the Air Force will come to escort us. Now I order: radar, radio, light signal, and transport boat departments to be ready. The radio and signal should contact the Air Force. The transport boat is ready to launch the boat to pick up people. The radar department should be on high alert! Report to me at any time if anything happens. In addition, now that it is almost dawn..." Lindemann paused, "Order the minesweeper to take over my ship's position and continue to sweep mines..."
"Yes!"
Five minutes later, in the morning glow, twelve BF109 aircraft appeared on the horizon, circling on time. Under their cover, a seaplane broke through the fleet, flew lower and lower, and finally landed on the sea near Tirpitz.
Soon several transport boats gathered around, ready to pick up the people on the plane.
However, the sea conditions did not improve with the appearance of the sun. Waves came one after another, making the already small transport boat even more like a leaf.
The crew members struggled to approach the seaplane, which was also swaying, and quickly tied the ropes to the aircraft's landing gear.
“Jump, jump!”
The naval officer, who was soaked by the waves, shouted, and then opened his mouth to spit out a mouthful of fishy and salty sea water.
"Pfft, pfft, pfft--quickly"
Lindemann on the bridge saw clearly through the telescope that the door of the seaplane opened and several people wearing sea life jackets came down. Some of them jumped onto the lifeboat with ease, while a few others were in a much worse situation. They turned around, grabbed the door frame and railings, and carefully "climbed" down.
However, because the plane and the transport boat were shaking constantly, climbing down was even more troublesome, and I ended up in a mess...
"Hehe, those guys in the Air Force are only suitable for flying in the sky." It seemed that Lindmann had heard the faint gloating voices of the sailors nearby.
That’s right, the people who climbed down were indeed from the Air Force... Lindman shook his head helplessly. What should he say? It seemed that the sailors did not say anything wrong...
But before he could say anything, a girl with blonde hair nimbly came out from the cabin door of the seaplane, stood at the cabin door, and jumped lightly onto the transport boat.
She jumped down and stood steadily on the shaking transport boat, but the shake caused several people on the boat who were obviously wearing air force style uniforms to shake, and they quickly grabbed the railing to avoid falling. The girl covered her mouth and laughed heartily, which was the most lively and beautiful scenery in this scene.
Lindemann on the bridge smiled knowingly. It turned out that it was the former secretary who came.
Looking at Bismarck's slightly gloating expression, he suspected that Bismarck had increased his weight, which was why the transport boat was shaking so violently.
Lindemann opened the cover of the microphone at the front searchlight position and shouted inside: "Tizi, your sister is here!"
After shouting and closing the lid, he heard a loud noise almost at the same time. He turned his head and saw the pink hamster who was originally at the searchlight position instantly dropped the searchlight, jumped off the prince, and went into the stairwell with a "squeak"...
ps: Ask for monthly ticket!!! Bismarck also appeared!!!
Chapter 157: Airstrike Begins
The seaplane flew away, and the transport boat carried us towards the Tirpitz. At the same time, a ladder began to slowly lower from the side of the Tirpitz. The transport boat approached with difficulty in the wind and waves, and finally crashed head-on into the wall of the Tirpitz.
The sailors on the boat quickly threw the rope over the side of the ship and tied it tightly.
The officers let me go up first on the principle of ladies first. I originally wanted to climb up the gangway with the crowd, but I ended up being the first one...
