Chapter 1078： America cannot lag behind (1/2)
”Next year, our other two Hindenburg-class ships will be completed and enter active service. At the same time, there will be the third and fourth ships of the Earl Zeppelin class, which will also enter service next year. So, wait until By next year, our Z plan will be able to complete half of the construction plan.” After the Hindenburg battleship set sail, at the naval base, Raidel reported to Cyrek the progress of the Z plan.
In short, the current situation is quite good, especially after the integration of the French and British industries, the German naval riots are not difficult.
After all, in history, Britain and France made their own warships very efficient, not to mention that they are now all produced in Germany.
”However, these warships are far from enough if you want to truly have the power of the Pacific Ocean.” Cyric said: ”The United States' war machine has already been activated, and their warships are also being manufactured rapidly. The industrial base is the capital they can survive the war at any time.”
Although the U.S. Navy suffered losses in Pearl Harbor, the U.S. Navy can recover in just one year, and the Americans cannot be underestimated at any time.
In contrast, island countries are not good enough. For island countries with scarce resources, if they fail once, their vitality can be greatly injured.
”So, should we proceed early with our plan to destroy their shipbuilding industry on the east coast of the United States?” Raidel said.
With the rapid expansion of naval power, Raidel is already eager to try, vying for the hegemony of the Atlantic, destroying the US Atlantic Fleet, and bombing the East Coast of the United States into ruins!
Cyric shook his head: ”No, we must maintain a defensive position at sea until the Soviet problem is resolved. We must deter the Americans, but we must not enter a state of war.”
Germany cannot fight on two fronts. The focus of Germany today is still the Soviet Union!
”Rydell, the task of the Navy now is to digest these warships and truly form combat effectiveness. When we need it, we must display the maximum combat effectiveness at any time. By the way, the expansion of the Marine Corps must also be done.”
To land across the sea, there must be a Marine Corps. Now the German Marine Corps is only a few divisions in size. This is not enough. There must be at least 30 divisions! There must also be enough landing ships!
Landing across the sea is not a word.
Hearing what Cyric said, Raidel showed embarrassment: ”Head Cyric, now our army and air force are expanding, and our navy is temporarily unable to recruit enough personnel.”
Ryder certainly wanted to expand the size of the Marine Corps, but it was already very difficult for him to recruit qualified crew members, and he could not recruit tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, to join the Marine Corps.
The insufficient population of Germany is always a problem.
”This, we can further recruit some people from our allies, such as Britain and France.” Cyric said: ”The treatment is the same as the rest of us. Those who are brave in combat can also become holy Aryans.”
Hearing this, Redleton was overjoyed. In this case, there is no need to worry about personnel issues!
For the Marine Corps, the mortality rate is quite high! When crossing the sea to land on the enemy’s beachhead, even a ship’s people will be killed. Therefore, in the Marine Corps, it is quite appropriate to recruit a certain percentage of personnel from other countries. Let them shed blood and sacrifice for the empire. In exchange for a happy life for future generations!
