Prince Heinrich is the third child of Frederick III and the younger brother of Wilhelm II. Previously, he had been serving in German Navy. Served as Commander of the High Seas Fleet, Inspector General of the Navy.
When Prince Heinrich was preparing to retire, Oscar found him and hoped that he would serve as Commander for Carrier Fleet. Although Prince Heinrich has never seen a new weapon like an aircraft carrier, he is very interested in it. In particular, Prince Heinrich was fascinated by the future aircraft carrier that Oscar described to him, which would become the absolute main force of the navy.
Because of this, Prince Heinrich accepted the invitation of Oscar and became the first Commander of German Navy Carrier Fleet. It can be said that Carrier Fleet can quickly form combat effectiveness, and Prince Heinrich has made a lot of efforts. Now, it's time to see the rewards.
Less than twenty minutes after Admiral Reinhard? Scheer's order was given, the first Carrier-based aircraft took off from the aircraft carrier 'Vanguard'. Immediately afterwards, the aircraft carrier USS Victory also began to take off Carrier-based aircraft.
The fighters that took off first were all lighter weight. Torpedo Bomber was heavier and needed a longer runway, so it took off last.
Now, German Navy's two aircraft carriers only carry two types of Carrier-based aircraft: fighter jets and Torpedo Bomber. As for the Dive Bomber that Oscar is interested in, it has not been successfully developed due to technical constraints. If you use the ordinary Bomber for horizontal bombing, it will undoubtedly be very difficult to hit high-speed moving targets on the sea. In comparison, Torpedo bomber is undoubtedly a greater threat to surface warships. Even Light Aerial Torpedo can pose a fatal threat to small and medium-sized warships. Even if Battleship's armor is a little weaker, it may not be able to withstand it.
Prince Heinrich was very excited as he watched one Carrier-based aircraft take off from the deck one after another, hovering over the aircraft carrier, waiting for other fighters to form a formation.
"I originally thought that I would never have the chance to participate in the decisive battle with British Navy. But I never thought that I would be able to participate in it again in this way. Thanks to Crown Prince, Let me be able to fulfill my wish. May God bless Carrier Fleet of Imperial Navy and be successful," Prince Heinrich said secretly.
As a naval general who also served as the commander of High Seas Fleet, how could he not want to participate in the decisive battle with British Royal Navy? Especially when German Navy already has the upper hand, he undoubtedly hopes to leave his name in this battle.
Due to the range of the current fighter planes, half of the fighters from the aircraft carrier 'Vanguard' and the aircraft carrier 'Victory' took off first. After completing their formation, they flew towards West in a mighty manner. After the remaining fighters take off, they will be reorganized.
The aircraft carrier 'Vanguard' and the aircraft carrier 'Victory' can only carry 48 Carrier-based aircraft. This is mainly because Atlantic Ocean is not as calm as Pacific Ocean due to high winds and strong waves, so the aircraft carrier must consider the sea conditions here. Naturally, it is impossible for each aircraft carrier to carry a large number of Carrier-based aircraft like the United States and Japan in another time and space.
The first batch of Carrier-based aircraft includes 24 fighter jets and 24 Torpedo Bomber. The second batch of 48 Carrier-based aircraft are all Torpedo Bomber.
In the case where British Navy has no aviation force, German Navy's Carrier-based Aircraft Unit hardly has to compete with them for air supremacy. In addition, there are no anti-aircraft weapons on British Navy's warships, which makes German Navy's Carrier-based aircraft hardly need to be hit. The only thing they have to do is find British Navy and launch an attack.
Of course, with the guidance of German Navy's Battlecruiser team, finding the British Navy Capital Ships team is not a problem at all. This makes this attack completely effortless.
As time passed, Carrier-based aircraft, which took off from the aircraft carrier German Navy, gradually approached the Capital Ships team of British Navy. Originally, for these Carrier-based aircraft, the distance of one hundred kilometers only took half an hour.
Aboard Royal Navy Grand Fleet flagship 'Vengeance' number Battleship, John? Admiral Jellicoe and David? Vice Admiral Beatty are all quietly waiting for the decisive battle to come. They knew that the Capital Ships team of German Navy must be on their way and would encounter them soon. As long as this decisive battle is over, regardless of victory or defeat, their mission will be over.
"Your Excellency Commander, those Battlecruisers of the Germany people are hanging on us like this in front of us. It is estimated that their Capital Ships team will appear soon." David? Vice Admiral Beatty said.
John? Admiral Jellicoe nodded. "The decisive battle between us and the Germany people is inevitable. Now, we still have 20 Battleship, and the Germany people still have 24 Battleship and 12 Battlecruiser is 1.8 times stronger than us. I only hope that we can kill more than twenty Capital Ships of Germany's people. In this case, our crisis will be relieved." John? Admiral Jellicoe said.
To sink twenty German Navy Capital Ships, this is the goal of John? Admiral Jellicoe. In that case, even they would be completely sunk. But there are still more than a dozen Capital Ships and German Navy, and their strength has been greatly damaged. It is simply impossible to block Britain again. In addition, United States, who has been suppressed by the Germany people, will definitely take the opportunity to intervene. This will buy Britain enough time. After the construction of their subsequent Capital Ships is completed, they can have a decisive battle with German Navy again. By that time, they may not fail again.
"Your Excellency Commander, it is very difficult to sink more than twenty Capital Shipss of the Germany people. However, even if we can sink fifteen of their ships, it will be a rare victory." David? Vice Admiral Beatty said.
German Navy's strength ranks first in the world. However, if British Navy can cause them heavy losses, then other countries may no longer be afraid of German Navy. At that time, British Navy will naturally have a chance.
John? Admiral Jellicoe nodded.
"Yes, even if we sink fifteen of their Capital Shipss, we have severely damaged the Germany people. I know that it is very difficult to defeat the Germany people. However, it should still be possible to severely damage them. After all, we dare to fight them desperately!" John? Jellicoe said.
