The military exercises are over

　　After a long period of preparation, the carrier-based aircraft of the Graf Zeppelin finally returned to their home field and flew densely towards the Oldenburg.

　　At the same time, in the captain's room of the battleship Oldenburg, Bastian was holding a telescope and nervously looking at the Count Zeppelin in the distance and the small black dots in the sky densely approaching him.

　　"Alas, after all, they still couldn't take out the Count Zeppelin before they launched a second wave of attacks." Bastian put down the telescope in his hand, shook his head with a wry smile and said.

　　"Captain, we have done our best." His adjutant comforted, "This can only show that the aircraft carrier thing is really too powerful." "

　　"Yes, aircraft carriers are really powerful." Bastian said, "The Fuhrer is also too powerful, but the proposal to develop aircraft carriers was put forward by the Fuhrer." "

　　"The Fuhrer is like a prophet." The adjutant said adoringly.

　　"Okay, sound the air defense siren and let the main gun fire freely." Bastian ordered to the adjutant.

　　"Understood." The adjutant saluted, and then pressed the switch of the air defense siren next to him.

　　A sharp siren sounded for the second time throughout the ship, and the soldiers in the anti-aircraft positions once again stuffed shells into the chamber, and then silently waited for the final battle.

　　A little more than a minute later, the dense group of aircraft once again came to the sky over the Oldenburg.

　　It was still the same as before, first dive bombers dived to drop bombs and destroyed the already few anti-aircraft guns on the Oldenburg, and then the torpedo attack aircraft swaggered close to the Oldenburg, which had lost the means of returning fire, and dropped powerful aviation torpedoes.

　　"The Oldenburg was sunk, the exercise was over, the red side won!"

　　"Alas, it's over." The adjutant shook his head and sighed, "Originally, I thought it was an easy vacation opportunity, but I didn't expect it to be cleaned up in three or two clicks." "

　　"Hehe, it's good to be cleaned up, at least I know the power of the aircraft carrier, and I will never dare to look down on the group of young men who fly the plane in the future." The captain laughed, "Salute the horn of the Graf Zeppelin and return to port." "

　　Unlike the crestfallen Oldenburg, on the other side, on the Count Zeppelin, all the officers and men of the ship were cheering for victory.

　　"Go back, it's time for vacation." Raeder grinned happily and smiled at the helmsman.

　　"Understood, turn back to Kiel Harbor!" The helmsman's mouth is bigger than Raeder's.

　　"Dönitz, what are your plans for this vacation?" Raeder asked Dönitz as he watched the ship finish turning.

　　"Me? I plan to take advantage of the vacation to discuss with my subordinates how to sink the aircraft carrier. Dönitz joked.

　　"Hahaha, then you have to break your head." Raeder laughed a few times, and then said, "By the way, what wolf pack tactics did you talk about last time, how is it perfected?" "

　　"It's almost perfect." Dönitz said with a smile,"I think if there is another big war, I can definitely use this tactic to surprise the British with my submarine force."

　　Just when the two were chatting about vacation, the atmosphere in the exercise command room on the other side was not so relaxed.

　　Most of the participants in the exercise were naval ship designers, who were intensely discussing the problems exposed by the exercise.

　　"I think there are two main reasons why the red side can win this time, one is that the naval aviation is really powerful, and the other is that the air defense of the blue side ships is too weak." A said solemnly.

　　"Yes, I agree, the air defense of the Helgolan class battleships is simply too weak." B nodded and said, "If the Blue Side's warship is our new Admiral Scheer class this time, it may not be this result." The anti-aircraft firepower of the Admiral Scheer class I think everyone knows, the combination of 30 twin 20mm Oerlikon anti-aircraft guns + 20 quadruple 40mm anti-aircraft guns + 10 twin 128mm high-level dual-purpose guns, I think no flying formation can break through such a dense firepower net? "

　　"We know the air defense of the Admiral Scheer-class battleships, but don't overlook another problem in this exercise." C said, "Didn't you realize that the blue side lost in speed?" If the blue side's battleships can have a speed of 30 knots, the red side will have a chance to fly a second wave of aircraft? "

　　"You're right!" A said excitedly, "This is still the case when the Count Zeppelin can't run, if this exercise allows the Count Zeppelin to run, the blue side will see the Count Zeppelin.

　　"So, if the blue side is an Admiral Scheer-class battleship this time, it will still lose?" Ding said hesitantly.

　　"I'm afraid so." B replied awkwardly, "Even if you don't lose, you can at most rely on terrifying anti-aircraft fire to draw with the Count Zeppelin, after all, the speed of the Admiral Scheer class is only 24 knots, which is 4 knots slower than the Count Zeppelin..."

　　"So, there are still many problems with our naval warships." Touching his chin, he said, "Our new generation of battleships must be at high speeds. "

　　"Not only should battleships have high speeds, but aircraft carriers must also increase their speed." A said, "In this way, the opposite warship cannot catch up." "

　　"We still have to work hard!" A said seriously.

　　"By the way, how did the British aircraft carrier go?" B remembered his old rival.

　　"They? They have more aircraft carriers than ours, but none is stronger than our Count Zeppelin! C, who has been paying attention to the development of the British Navy, said proudly, "They now have three aircraft carriers, namely the Bergasus, the White-Eyed and the Arena, but unfortunately the combined capacity of these three aircraft carriers is only a pitiful 50, and we have 72 on one Count Zeppelin!" "

　　"Haha, poor British, they first built the aircraft carrier, but now it has been overtaken by us." E laughed loudly, "I didn't expect that the British navy would be surpassed by us one day!"

　　"But the two Brave-class aircraft carriers they are building are quite powerful, with a tonnage as large as our Count Zeppelin." C said, "If the intelligence is correct, they should be in service soon."

　　"Well, that's a problem." A nodded, "So we should report to the Fuhrer and suggest that the construction of a second Count Zeppelin-class aircraft carrier start immediately."

　　"No, I don't plan to build another Count Zeppelin-class aircraft carrier." A familiar voice came from behind the heated ship design team that was discussing, it was Lyon, "I plan to ask you to redesign the first type of aircraft carrier, although the Count Zeppelin is very strong, but there are still many problems in the end."

　　"Long live the Fuhrer!" When everyone saw that it was Leon, they quickly stood up and raised their hands to salute a standard German salute.

　　Leon waved his hand to signal everyone to sit down again, and then continued: "I will arrange for Raeder to come and talk to you about the specific areas that need to be improved tomorrow. Also, try to enter service before 1929. "

　　"Why before 1929?" A asked suspiciously.

　　Leon smiled and didn't answer.

　　Because, it was a special year, he thought to himself.
