Chapter 85: The importance of aircraft carriers (1/2)
Cyric, who destroyed Rolls-Royce in one hand, is now very fulfilling. The team he led has completed the main mission to the United Kingdom. Next, Cyric will not need to come forward. Representative, the following things will be done.
At the same time, the personnel of the various companies that will follow will also sweep the goods on the British market. In addition to the automotive industry, there is also the shipbuilding industry, which is also valued by Cyrenk.
Now, during the economic crisis in the UK, shipyards are seriously under-operated. Some small shipyards are in danger of closing down. They can buy their production equipment at the lowest price!
When Cyric came to Clydeban, Scotland, he looked at the empty scene in the shipyard, still a little bit sorrowful.
Cyric knows that, just a few months later, here, construction will begin on a new battleship, the Ark Royal aircraft carrier!
This is an aircraft carrier with a displacement of more than 20,000 tons, a high freeboard ship type, and three shafts and double rudders.
In order to pursue speed, the aspect ratio of Japanese and American aircraft carriers usually reaches 8 to 10, while the Royal Ark is only 7.2, which is more stable. At the same time, the closed bow is more suitable for the harsh sea conditions of the North Atlantic.
From the island country, Cyric obtained all the design drawings of the island country’s aircraft carrier, but the island country’s aircraft carrier drawings did not completely conform to the German construction.
The most direct thing is the difference in the environment. The sea conditions in the North Atlantic are quite harsh. In contrast, the Pacific Ocean is almost like a pond.
If only some aircraft carrier designers could be poached from here! Cyric was absolutely fascinated, this kind of thing can be met but not requested, and it is very difficult to find.
In the Eastern world, there is a cult of personality. Each design bureau is named after the chief designer. Any kind of excellent weapon system can always tell people immediately which designer’s proud work is. It's different. Here more emphasis is placed on collective power.
Therefore, Cyric racked his brains and couldn't figure out who the designer of the Royal Ark was. Moreover, this kind of aircraft carrier will definitely not be done by one or two people. It can only be done by a huge team. .
Of course, if you can dig one or two core characters, it would be pretty good!
However, even if the designer is not poached away, relying on the Akagi design drawings and German craftsmen can complete the manufacture of the aircraft carrier! Thinking of this, Cyric was once again proud.
Without an aircraft carrier, Germany will never win this war!
After completing the British scan, Cyric did not immediately leave for the United States. Another matter allowed Cyric to temporarily stay in Germany.
The argument about aircraft carriers.
With the disappearance of the stormtroopers, the German Wehrmacht finally truly obeyed Hitler's orders. At the same time, the construction of the army began to develop in great strides.
At this time, in the navy, the controversy gradually heated up.
The navy, does it need to build more battleships, or build some aircraft carriers?
”Cyric, you came back just right.” In Berlin, after seeing Cyric, Hitler was very happy: ”Our navy is arguing about the aircraft carrier.”
Of course Hitler knew that Cyric was a supporter of aircraft carriers. Otherwise, why did he go to the island country and spend a lot of money to buy all the aircraft carrier technology of the island country’s Akagi?
