The Third Reich: The Return of the King

Chapter 327

Although he can’t really give a set of golden silk silk clothes to every German soldier, after all, this thing costs 1,000 points, and the price is ridiculously expensive.

But it is possible for him to give a golden silk silk clothes to several important relatives and trusted generals around him!

Mainz thought about it. Elizabeth is his first wife, and her safety is naturally very important, so it is very necessary to buy her a golden silk silk clothes.

Manstein is his brother and the future commander of the German army. His personal safety is also extremely important. Although this guy has lived until after the war in history, and even published a book to complain about the mustache, but that is another matter. In this world, whether he can still be so lucky on the battlefield is hard to say.

So for the sake of insurance, it is also necessary to buy him a set.

After Manstein, there are Guderian, Model and Rommel.

These people are all senior generals under Mainz. They emerged in this world much earlier than in the original history, so these people are already famous internationally.

If someone really wants to do something bad to them, then they are really a bit dangerous.

So Mainz thought about it and prepared a golden silk silk clothing for Guderian, Model, Rommel, Kesselring and others.

Himmler and Heydrich are his right-hand men and left-hand men. They undertake the most dangerous SS work. Himmler is a little better. He sits in the central command and does not go to the front line. The security risk is slightly lower. Heydrich is the actual planner and executor. His methods are also very radical and cruel. He will definitely be targeted by other national intelligence departments in the future.

In the original history, after Heydrich was identified as his successor by the little mustache, he was immediately assassinated by the paratroopers sent by the sun never sets. This shows that this guy’s safety situation is very dangerous, so Mainz thought about it and bought him a set.

Roughly speaking, including Elizabeth, Mainz spent 7,000 points at once, and he still had 27,500 points left.

This amount of points seemed to be quite a lot, so Mainz simply made up his mind and bought one for Lütjens and Dönitz, and also bought the mustache, Himmler and North American Vanelk.

Now, the points in Mainz’s hand suddenly dropped to 22,500 points.

There are still more than 20,000 points, and there are still many things to do!

However, the golden silk silk clothes can no longer be bought. It feels uneconomical to buy them again. The safety of Goering, Dietrich, Ribbentrop, Goebbels and others is not dangerous, and there has been no assassination against them in history, so Mainz did not take special care of them!

He plans to use the remaining 20,000 points to purchase weapons and equipment!

The navy is the object that Mainz needs to focus on strengthening. Although the strength of Hans’ surface ships has been greatly enhanced after the construction of four Scharnhorst-class battlecruisers.

However, Hans still has a blank in the most critical aircraft carrier.

Therefore, Mainz first set his sights on the airship.

He entered the system and checked it out. There are many aircraft carriers in the system. From the first aircraft carrier after World War I to the Ford-class aircraft carrier of the 21st century, all the models that have appeared in the system mall in the history of a hundred years are available.

However, the early aircraft carriers were too poor, so Mainz looked down on them, and he couldn’t afford the later nuclear-powered aircraft carriers because of the price!

The price of a Ford aircraft carrier is as high as 100,000 points, which is simply outrageous!

Compared with the Ford-class aircraft carrier, the price of the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier is much cheaper, but a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier also requires 50,000 points. This price is still a sky-high price for Mainz!

So he simply ignored these ships that he couldn’t afford, and turned his attention to the various aircraft carriers during World War II and after World War II!

In World War II, there were not many countries equipped with aircraft carriers. Mainly, the three countries of the British Empire, the British Empire and the British Empire had aircraft carriers.

Although the British Empire and the British Empire were the first countries to build aircraft carriers, the performance of the aircraft carriers of these two countries in the war can only be said to be unsatisfactory. There are certain defects in the design, and the gap is not small compared with the aircraft carriers of the British Empire, especially compared with the aircraft carriers of the British Empire in the later period!

And from the number of aircraft carriers owned, the British Empire has significantly more aircraft carriers than other countries.

During World War II, the British Empire built a total of 155 aircraft carriers. It is the only country in the world with more than 100 aircraft carriers. At its peak, the British Empire could even launch an aircraft carrier a week. This speed is really appalling. The fact that the British Empire built a large number of aircraft carriers also gave Mainz a wealth of choices.

Early aircraft carriers, such as the Lexington-class or Yorktown-class aircraft carriers, were designed too early and did not have enough experience in the use and operation of aircraft carriers. As a result, these aircraft carriers, like aircraft carriers in other countries in the world, have various disadvantages. The main disadvantages are too small tonnage, too small deck area, too narrow deck width, and insufficient deck length.

And like other early aircraft carriers, these aircraft carriers are also equipped with a lot of weapons.

Taking the Yorktown-class aircraft carrier as an example, this type of aircraft carrier is equipped with a large number of anti-aircraft artillery, which occupies a large area on both sides of the deck, and also adds a large number of personnel, which reduces the effective space of the aircraft carrier, increases the number of personnel, and reduces the self-sustaining power of the aircraft carrier.

In the Pacific naval battles of World War II, it has been proved that when aircraft carriers face the threat of enemy fighters and bombers, their own anti-aircraft guns cannot protect their safety at all. Once the enemy breaks through the fire interception network outside the fleet, even if their own anti-aircraft guns hit the enemy, the enemy may directly hit the aircraft carrier and fight a dead-end ending.

This kind of thing was extremely obvious in the late Pacific War, especially when the foot basin began to use the kamikaze special attack tactics. Basically, once the outer fighters and other warships of the fleet could not intercept these planes, the aircraft carriers could only pray for themselves!

Therefore, from the perspective of Mainz, the descendant, the aircraft carriers before 1940 were basically not considered. Before the outbreak of the Pacific War, the aircraft carriers of various countries were built based on their own imaginations and had not been tested in actual combat.

Only after the outbreak of the Pacific War in 1942, the design of mature aircraft carriers can be seen in the new generation of aircraft carriers built by various countries.

Many traces of later aircraft carriers can be seen on these aircraft carriers.

For aircraft carriers after 1942, this range has been narrowed a lot.

The later aircraft carriers on the Eagle Sauce side include the Essex-class aircraft carriers, the main aircraft carriers of which more than 20 were built during World War II, and the Midway-class aircraft carriers.

After the Midway-class aircraft carrier, the performance of the Eagle Sauce’s Forrestal-class aircraft carrier is also very good, but this type of aircraft carrier was only developed and produced in the 1950s. Because of the system’s pricing mechanism, this kind of equipment, which has been produced for more than 20 years, will increase in price a lot when purchased. So for Mainz, buying a Forrestal-class aircraft carrier seems a bit uneconomical!

Taking all factors into consideration, the Midway-class aircraft carrier, which was finalized and began production in 1943, actually has no big difference in appearance from other types of aircraft carriers in the United States. This type of aircraft carrier has completely gotten rid of the rut of early aircraft carriers during World War II. After absorbing the lessons learned from the Pacific War, the performance of the Midway-class aircraft carrier has been greatly improved.

Compared with previous aircraft carriers, the Midway-class aircraft carrier with a full load displacement of up to 60,000 tons can be equipped with up to 145 aircraft due to its huge size!

Moreover, in view of the fact that the deck of the aircraft carrier is easily bombed by the enemy after World War II, the deck of the Midway-class aircraft carrier has been reinforced and equipped with 3-inch 76mm armor, which makes the Midway-class aircraft carrier have a stronger ability to survive when resisting enemy bombing, so that a bomb will not smash through several layers of decks and blow up the entire aircraft carrier!

Moreover, this aircraft carrier was also transformed with an inclined deck in the later period, which enabled this aircraft carrier to be equipped with a catapult, greatly improving the efficiency of take-off and landing! These qualities became the key to impressing Mainz.

Therefore, Mainz immediately determined the model of Hans aircraft carrier
