High Seas Fleet

　　"Fuhrer, is it appropriate for us to give them so many weapons for nothing?" Looking at the back of Radesky leaving the presidential palace, Ludwig asked Leon suspiciously.

　　"Suitable, what's not appropriate?" Leon chuckled, "As long as the Sudetenland is incorporated into us, then their people and army will be my people and army, and this batch of weapons is equivalent to arming ourselves." "

　　"Yes." Ludwig nodded, "By the way, Fuhrer, our Gestapo branch in Austria has transmitted news that the 'Dawn Project' has achieved the desired results, and 80% of the top level of the Austrian government is willing to merge with us." "

　　"Very well, what about the people of Austria?" Leon smiled confidently, "Is it the same as I expected?" "

　　"Yes, Fuhrer." Ludwig said with admiration, "The results of our secret investigation show that the vast majority of the Austrian people yearn to join Germany. "

　　"Hehe, it's not that I'm clever, but in such a harsh environment now, only we in Germany can make bread available to everyone." "I think as long as the Austrian people are not stupid, they understand that there is only good and no harm in incorporating us." "

　　"So when do we ask Austria to report to the League of Nations and call a referendum?" Ludwig asked.

　　"Don't worry now, wait until I go to meet the new president of France and the new prime minister of Britain, although Britain and France are now difficult to protect themselves, their threats are still difficult for us to ignore.

　　"Okay, Fuhrer, then I'll go and arrange the plane." Ludwig said respectfully.

　　"No, I don't make planes, I'll take the aircraft carrier Deutsche Deutsche over." Leon smiled, "Just arranged for our High Seas Fleet to go out for activities, I want to take a good look at our nascent fleet." "

　　"Well, then I'll go to the Kiel military port and arrange for the fleet to get ready." Ludwig said and retreated.

　　The next morning, Lyon took Sophia to the military port of Kiel and boarded the aircraft carrier Deutsche Deutsche .

　　The aircraft carrier Deutsche is a new generation of aircraft carriers designed by Lyon in 1927 by the naval design team.

　　From the name of this class of aircraft carriers, it is clear that Lyon has high hopes for it.

　　A total of three Deutschland-class aircraft carriers were built, all of which were launched in time for the economic crisis in 1929.

　　The lead ship, the Deutsche Chord DF2 (DF is an acronym for aircraft carrier in German), has a standard displacement of 28,000 tons and a full load displacement of 34,000 tons, and the German class is the second largest aircraft carrier after the Lexington class of the United States in terms of tonnage.

　　In terms of carrier-based aircraft, it carries 24 aircraft of the latest German ME109A fighter, the onboard version ME109T, 36 JU-87 dive bombers and 36 FI-167 torpedo attack aircraft, for a total of 96 aircraft.

　　In terms of power, it uses four of Germany's latest steam turbines, with a total output of 160,000 horsepower, which gives the German class 34 knots.

　　When it comes to ME109T, we have to talk about the latest ME109A fighter of the German communist army.

　　The ME109A is equipped with a Mercedes-Benz engine with an output of 1100 hp and a maximum level flight speed of 570 km/h.

　　In terms of armament, the ME109A is equipped with two MG17 92mm machine guns, and there is room for future 20mm cannons.

　　It can be said that the ME109A fighter is now the most powerful fighter in the world, there is no one!

　　After Lyon arrived on the Deutschland, the High Seas Fleet, which had already been ready, sounded its whistle and left port in turn.

　　The current German High Seas Fleet is very powerful, although in terms of the number of battleships is not comparable to Britain, France, and even Italy.

　　But in terms of naval aviation, the High Seas Fleet, with one Earl Zeppelin-class aircraft carrier and three German-class aircraft carriers, can wipe out all the aircraft carrier fleets in Europe.

　　After all the large fleet had sailed out of the harbor, it began to adjust its formation, with four huge aircraft carriers in the middle, two Admiral-Scheer-class battleships and six Admiral-Hipper-class heavy cruisers on the outside, and a sentinel fleet of 25 Z-class destroyers and seven Königsberg-class light cruisers on the periphery.

　　After the completion of the large high seas fleet, it entered the Fehmarn Strait, from which it was planned to sail into the Baltic Sea, and finally enter the North Sea from the Baltic Sea through the Skagerrak Strait.

　　After entering the North Sea and stabilizing the course, Lyon stood alone on the deck of the aircraft carrier, blowing a slightly salty sea breeze, thinking about future development plans.

　　The days of stability are coming to an end, and after the economic crisis, the clouds of war will soon reappear over Europe.

　　After so many years of hard work, Germany's war preparations have become more and more perfect, and the development progress of the navy, army, and air force has greatly surpassed that of Germany in the previous life.

　　But Lyon still doesn't know if he can win in the future, and no one can say for sure what the future holds.

　　"What are you thinking?" A soft voice sounded behind Leon, "I see your sad face." "

　　Hearing this, Leon smiled lightly, turned back and wrapped his arms around the waist of the person behind him, "I'm thinking about our future, I'm thinking about the future of Germany." "

　　"Leon, what is there to worry about in our future?" Sophia, who was hugged by Leon, looked at Leon seriously, "As for the future of Germany, there is no need to worry, now Germany is developing rapidly and steadily, even the terrible economic crisis has not affected us much, can the future be worse than now?" "

　　"You don't understand, Sophia." Leon smiled, "Now the relations between European countries do not want to be so calm on the surface, and all countries are secretly preparing to redistribute benefits, the difference is only by force or peace." "

　　"What about you?" Sophia asked, "What about Germany?" Does Germany intend to do so by force or by peace? "

　　"We?" Leon looked at the high main gun barrel of the Admiral Scheer not far away, and said lightly, "We can only pass the war!" "

　　"Can't you not provoke a war?" Sophia hesitated, "I don't want you to be labeled an aggressor. "

　　"We can no longer peacefully resolve the contradictions between us and other countries, and if we want to change all this, we can only use force." Leon touched Sophia's head, "But I will find a good reason to start a war, the name of the invader is indeed a little ugly." "

　　"Fuhrer! We are about to reach the scheduled place, the destroyer Z17 is already waiting, they will send you to the heavy cruiser Hipper, and the High Seas Fleet will not be able to accompany you on the rest of the journey. The commander of the High Seas Fleet, Raeder, came to the two, saluted Lyon, and then said.

　　"Good." Leon straightened his suit, and then joked to Raeder with a smile: "Then you guys will train in the North Sea, and I will take the Hipper to meet the British Royal Navy's Home Fleet!"
