Chapter 1675 The Navy’s Proposal 2

"The Americans put forward a suggestion to us not long ago, a suggestion that we can test the attack power of the aircraft carrier on a small scale without using our current aircraft carrier detachment. They will provide us with a miniaturized Aircraft carrier, this battleship was originally a 7,000-ton light cruiser, but after it was changed to half, the Americans believed that such a small battleship could not meet the combat needs, but the ship did not stop working because of the progress of the project, so although it did not Incorporated into the combat fleet, but used as a training ship."

"The aircraft carrier will be camouflaged and will then arrive at our base in the Persian Gulf of the Indian Ocean at the port of Faaw, where the final flight deck laying will be completed, and then our domestic aircraft and ground crew will be on board. , we are responsible for the aviation operations of the entire battleship, and the Americans will be responsible for the operation of the battleship. In the end, this aircraft carrier training ship will be accompanied by two battleships to attack a suitable target together to test the combat effectiveness of our air force and the aircraft carrier Tactics." Major General Rodhart said.

"Fuck, Americans have such a big brain! If you have money, you can do whatever you want!" After listening to this sentence, the prince popped into his mind. First of all, Ruprecht believes that the Americans will definitely provide an aircraft carrier improved with a light cruiser, which is nothing to the Americans who are rich and powerful at this time and are expanding their arms and preparing for war. Secondly, the fact that the Americans were able to get them to the Indian Ocean, and then come up with this plan is enough to show that they have great ideas.

I have to say that this suggestion is very good. First of all, the Indian Ocean is a relatively remote battlefield, and neither side has much energy to pay attention to this matter for the time being. After the Japanese fleet was beaten by Su Xiong once, whether it is the British or the Japanese, For the time being, we can’t spare enough troops to deal with Su Xiong. If the Japanese transport fleet goes to the Indian Ocean, they will just take a detour and try to avoid the opponent’s range of activities. So far, Su Xiong’s fleet is not good at finding targets. try to find.......

Therefore, if a transport fleet is attacked here, even if a carrier-based aircraft is used to attack, the result will not be bad. Those crew members who have no experience in naval combat probably have never heard of an aircraft carrier. When encountering an aircraft attack, they are more likely to think that a seaplane took off and then attacked. After all, Su Xiong and others have done these things before. As for the attack effect is not good how to do? It doesn't matter, there are still two fast battleships responsible for replenishing the knife! So what if you are afraid of leaking secrets? The two fast BBs are all resolved, isn't it over? !

Although, one thing is certain, the environment in the Indian Ocean is definitely much different from that in the North Sea, but it is undeniable that this is indeed a practical test, and, if you are lucky, you can also use a second-class capital ship to test the waters. Because, even if it is a detour, the Allied Powers still use the former dreadnoughts or armored cruisers to provide cover for the fleet, because there have always been German camouflaged assault ships in this sea area, and such warships with minimal logistical burdens are active at sea The time is much higher than Su Xiong's fast battleship.

"This seems to be a good suggestion. It is of great reference value for the construction of our future fleet." After careful consideration,

Ruprecht agreed in principle. In theory, the possibility of leaking information is unlikely. If it is only to attack a transport fleet on a corner battlefield, and there are fast battleships involved, the British will It is very possible to characterize this operation as an ordinary sea battle, and the aircraft carrier is generally out of the opponent's field of vision. Under the current situation, even if there is a fish that slipped through the net and sent back information, they are most concerned about the opponent. Aircraft released from battleships were used.

If the efficiency of the bureaucratic system itself is considered, it may be too late for the British to get the news, because there is not much time left for the British, and they cannot use a few months to catch up with Bavaria's years of hard work! And the risk of this matter is not too great. Even if something happens, it will be some planes and an American ship at most.

As for whether the systems of the two parties are compatible, there is no problem at all. Just like in history, the American army equipment was almost copied from the French at the beginning. In this plane, the design and construction of American aircraft carriers and related rules and regulations are also different. It is based on the German High Seas Fleet, so that some people joked that the aircraft carriers of the two sides are actually the same from hardware to software, but one is in English and the other is in German....

"Who is responsible for this matter?" the prince asked after thinking about it.

"The commander of the fleet is naturally General Su Xiong, General Raeder is the chief of staff, I will be in charge of aviation, and the commander of the US aircraft carrier is a US military lieutenant colonel named Kimmel, except for our aviation personnel Other than that, everything else has been prepared. If our carrier-based plane flies around, it can arrive at Port Fao within 3 days."

"Okay, pay attention to safety and confidentiality." The prince thought for a while and said.

"Then, let's prepare. We will submit the relevant personnel and equipment information as well as the combat plan to you in a report." Admiral Scheer said.

Therefore, after obtaining the prince's approval, the combat plan code-named "Monsoon Operation" was officially launched. This time, the main goal of the German Indian Ocean Squadron was no longer to destroy the transport fleet, but to test the combat effectiveness of the new naval aviation. .

The efficiency of the Americans is still very high. Two weeks later, the light aircraft carrier named Constellation arrived in Port Fao from the United States. On the way, the Americans were not intercepted by the British fleet. The Americans camouflaged the ship and built a large number of wooden buildings to make it look like a cargo ship, and because the ship did not go to sensitive areas , Therefore, even if it is bumped into by the British, it is just let go. After all, the Stars and Stripes of the United States is hung on it.

And just before the Americans arrived, the elites of the German naval aviation had already driven their planes to Fao through a series of transitions in order to adapt themselves and the planes to the climate of the Indian Ocean. After the fleet arrived, a train brought over the accessories and torpedoes needed by the air force. At this point, the entire air force officially began its own training in the Persian Gulf.

A total of 28 aircraft of various types have arrived here, which is only a squadron in terms of size, but it includes all types of aircraft from reconnaissance aircraft, fighter jets to torpedo aircraft. And after all the elements are in place, the final preparations will begin.
