“Great, we have eliminated the Ark Royal aircraft carrier, and there is one less threat at our doorstep!”
Knowing that the British Navy had actually cut down the Ark Royal aircraft carrier in order to build the Nelson-class battleship, this news immediately excited Dönitz and Hans’s naval commanders!
“Since the British Empire is going to put its main energy into the design and manufacture of battleships, their aircraft carrier development plan will probably come to a standstill. Now the British Empire has only built the aircraft carriers Hermes and Furious. Originally, they planned to build the Ark Royal, but now it seems that they have given up this plan!”
Mainz has some understanding of the British aircraft carriers. During World War II, the number of British aircraft carriers was second only to that of the Eagle Sauce in the world, but their aircraft carriers did not perform very well in the war.
In a direct confrontation with the Foot Basin aircraft carrier, the British aircraft carrier Hermes was easily sunk by the Foot Basin, and the entire Far East Fleet was wiped out. Even the Z Fleet that was sent there could not escape this disaster.
On the battlefield in the Atlantic, facing the only navy of the Hans family, although the number of British aircraft carriers was large, they performed very poorly and did not have any outstanding performance. This made the limelight of the British aircraft carriers during World War II completely robbed by the Eagle Sauce and the Foot Basin.
After all, these two countries have fought several fierce duels between aircraft carriers on the battlefield in the Pacific!
“In this way, the threat of the British Empire to us will be reduced. However, our plan for the two aircraft carriers cannot be cancelled. From now on, your navy must train the crew on the aircraft carrier as soon as possible, including pilots of carrier-based aircraft, ground crew, mechanics and other technical personnel!!”
Seeing that the British Empire canceled the development plan of the Royal Ark and the Glorious-class aircraft carriers, Mainz was relieved. He also took the opportunity to speed up Hans’ own development plan for two emergency aircraft carriers!
He didn’t want to build this kind of small aircraft carrier with a tonnage of only more than 20,000 tons. This kind of medium-sized aircraft carrier is expensive, but its combat effectiveness is not very high. Instead of wasting money on this kind of stuff, it is better to invest the money in the development of carrier-based aircraft.
However, it is not possible to form combat effectiveness of an aircraft carrier overnight. It is not enough to have equipment. It also requires a large number of professional and skilled personnel to operate it. To train these people who are familiar with the use of aircraft carriers, The sailors who fight in the war cannot do without aircraft carriers!
So Mainz plans to use these two aircraft carriers as training ships to reserve technical personnel and skilled sailors for the future Midway-class aircraft carriers. When the Midway-class aircraft carriers are put into service in the future, Hans will be able to equip the aircraft carriers with a large number of experienced naval soldiers, so that they can form combat effectiveness in the shortest time!
Hearing Mainz’s words, Dönitz hesitated to speak, and finally did not speak. He felt the heavy responsibility on his shoulders.
However, for the national interests of Hans, even if he tried his best, he could not live up to the trust of General Mainz, let alone the earnest expectations of 80 million Hans people!
“Well, I will try my best!”
Dönitz clenched his fists and said heavily.
Mainz glanced at him. Dönitz’s ability in submarines is very good, but he is mediocre in aircraft carriers and large fleets.
It’s not that he doesn’t work hard, but his specialty is not here!
Strictly speaking, the old marshal Raeder seems to be more suitable, but Mainz doesn’t want to use him. This old man in the navy is a remnant of the Junker aristocracy. Mainz thought that he didn’t go against him and made contributions to the country, so he didn’t deal with him. It was already a face-saving thing for him to continue to use him. Entrusted with important tasks, that’s right!
However, the navy does have talent in leadership. In the past, they had outstanding talents like Scheer and Tirpitz, but these two heroes are old and can’t keep up with the times. Scheer is seriously ill and is estimated to live for a few years, and Tirpitz is already 77 years old this year. If he is allowed to lead the fleet at this age, wouldn’t that mean he will die early?
Mainz still hopes that such an old guy can live a few more years, so that he, an old man who carries the hope of the Second Empire’s navy, can see Hans’s navy galloping on the ocean with his own eyes. The majestic figure of the Navy cannot be destroyed by overwork!
Distress!
The Navy’s talent problem is really serious. Unlike the Eagle Sauce on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, which is full of talents, Hans has almost no outstanding generals!
It would be great if Hans could assign a few of his many famous generals in the Army to the Navy!
Mainz shook his head and threw away this unrealistic fantasy.
Because there was no strong navy, the Third Reich did not have any decent naval generals in World War II.
Although Dönitz is famous, his abilities are mainly concentrated in In terms of submarines, to be honest, he is more suitable for being the commander of submarine combat forces than being the commander of the navy.
As for surface ships, Lütjens’s ability is good, but this guy’s leadership is average. He is suitable for charging on the battlefield as a fleet commander, but not suitable for being a senior leader to plan and strategize in the rear!
Moreover, Lütjens is good at commanding battleships, but not good at using aircraft carriers.
Because the Third Reich failed to build its own aircraft carrier until its demise, the Third Reich did not have any talents with aircraft carrier combat experience at all!
“It would be great if we could dig someone over from Jiaoben and Yingjiang, either Yamamoto Isoroku or Nimitz would be fine. If that doesn’t work, I’ll just accept Nagumo Chuichi and Halsey, as these two guys are also talented in commanding aircraft carrier operations!”
“Since the system can sell various advanced weapons, why can’t it provide some outstanding generals?”
【Sorry, this system does not engage in human trafficking. Please do not have such thoughts! 】
Just after complaining, the system immediately jumped out and said in a cold tone.
Mainz was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that the system was still peeping into his inner thoughts!
【If the host wants to obtain outstanding talents in the navy, it is not without opportunities! 】
Perhaps the system sensed the anger in Mainz’s heart. In order to calm Mainz’s anger, the system immediately provided a very valuable clue.
“What do you mean? Didn’t you say you don’t want to be a human trafficker? Then how can you help me solve this problem?”
Mainz was skeptical about what the system said, but he didn’t have time to pursue the system’s responsibility for the time being.
He was very interested in what the system said. Who was the talent the system was talking about?
Did this person really have the ability the system said?
Could he really help him solve the difficulties he was facing?
【At present, the Navy of the Eagle Sauce family is facing great difficulties because of the suppression of President Harding.
A group of young soldiers in the Navy offended President Harding and were persecuted by President Harding.
One of them, a lieutenant colonel named William, was demoted to a reserve academy at the Berkeley campus.
This person is a descendant of German immigrants.
After being demoted, he was deeply disappointed with the Eagle Sauce government and his own future.
At this time, he had already thought about returning to Hans’s native land!
】
The system provided an intelligence that Mainz didn’t know at all, but after listening to the system, Mainz knew that he wanted him to contact this person named William and attract him back.
But, he is just a lieutenant colonel in the navy, what can he do?
Moreover, Mainz thought carefully about the person named William, and it seems that he didn’t search for any information about this guy!
Did the Eagle Sauce family really have such a person in World War II?
The name William is really Hans’s name. Generally speaking, Hans’s name has a word in the middle. The middle of the name of the nobles is”von”, and the civilians add some better words, such as William.
Guderian’s full name is Heinz Wilhelm Guderian.
For people named Wilhelm, Wilhelm is most likely the middle character, and he is also a very promising naval general.
Mainz was shocked, and he thought of someone:”Are you talking about Chester William Nimitz?”_
