Chapter 1088： Goethe-class aircraft carrier (1/2)
The sea-to-air battle that broke out in the Coral Sea slowly came to an end. This naval battle overturned the situation of previous naval battles and shocked the navies of all countries.
Until one side failed, the naval fleets of both sides did not make contact. They all launched attacks outside the line of sight, and the side with advanced fighter jets and attack aircraft would gain absolute advantage in such naval battles.
The Americans once again lost two aircraft carriers, even worse than in history. They had to withdraw from this naval battle and wait to accumulate more naval power before they could regain the initiative in the Pacific.
At the same time, after defeating the U.S. Navy, the morale of the island navy rose again. For them, this victory indicates that their battle of Midway will also be able to proceed smoothly!
However, for the island navy, they also have regrets. In this naval battle, their Xianghe aircraft carrier was also damaged and had to be returned to the shipyard for repairs, and they wanted to organize the midway of the next battle. For the island naval battle, their existing strength is insufficient.
In this case, the first lieutenant general of the island nation’s navy, Nanyunzhong, once again traveled thousands of miles and came to Germany.
”We hope to order a batch of new Stuka bombers, and at the same time we hope to order two to four aircraft carriers from you.” Nan Yunzhong is straight to the point.
The existing power of the island countries is insufficient, and even if the island country’s military factories start production at full speed, they cannot meet their needs. At this time, ordering from Germany has become a shortcut.
After all, Germany now has the British and French shipbuilding industries, and the German naval fleet is simply expanding like dumplings. At this time, ordering from Germany is definitely the fastest.
Cyric looked at the admiral of the island nation and knew their purpose: ”It seems that you are planning to attack Midway Island?”
This made Nan Yun Zhongyi a moment of stunned. His own combat operations are top secret. How did the head of Cyric know? He can be sure that he has not leaked the secret, so that is to say, this is the head of Cyric guessed it?
Sure enough, it is unfathomable, there is no Head Cyric can not know!
Nan Yunzhong blushed and did not speak because he didn't know what to say.
”If you order directly with us, it won't be able to keep up with this battle.” Cyric said: ”We can give the warship we just built to our Eastern friends. We have four Goethe-class aircraft carriers, and we have completed all of them. Sea trials have not been incorporated into our navy. Now, we can give all these aircraft carriers to our friends.”
Goethe-class aircraft carrier? Nan Yunzhong is not familiar with this aircraft carrier. In his cognition, the German aircraft carrier is the Earl Zeppelin class. It has already served six ships. What kind of aircraft carrier is this Goethe-class aircraft carrier?
However, if there are four aircraft carriers like this, it will be enough to expand our naval strength, and will have better help for the upcoming naval battle on Midway.
”These aircraft carriers only have a displacement of more than 10,000 tons, and can carry more than 20 carrier-based aircraft. Compared with the main warships, they are a bit slow, but they are more flexible. In addition to participating in battles with the main force of the fleet, they can also be dispatched separately. , To undertake the **** mission on the route. For the island navy, I think this kind of aircraft carrier is also quite suitable.” Cyric said.
This so-called Goethe-class aircraft carrier is of course an **** aircraft carrier. It is almost the same as the container ship built from the United States. Now, in addition to the main aircraft carrier, Germany is also building such an **** aircraft carrier. Each has its advantages and disadvantages. In the future, Germany will have long sea routes to be protected, and **** aircraft carriers is a must.
At the same time, only such aircraft carriers can be exported to island countries.
The level of technology is low, and it will not leak out the advanced technology of Germany. At the same time, the Zeppelin class that Germany has started to build is not enough for itself. How can it be exported to island countries!
After a careful understanding of the performance, Nan Yun Zhongyi finally agreed, especially that he could drive back to the island country within half a month, which was so attractive.
”As for the payment method.” Cyric paused and said: ”We do not accept loans. You can barter, for example, using rubber from Southeast Asia to offset the account.”
Natural rubber trees are tropical rain forest trees, and their planting areas are basically distributed within 15°C north and south latitudes, mainly in Southeast Asia, accounting for about 90% of the world's natural rubber planting area.
