Chapter 261 (1/2)
”Woo, woo!” With the sound of the whistle, the huge aircraft carrier Zeppelin started slowly!
After the design, the chimney was cleverly designed to the rear of the bridge, so that it would not block any line of sight. At this time, a group of people were in high spirits on the bridge.
Hitler was very excited. Since last time hilrick told Hitler with a living example that the survivability of battleships was very low under dive bombing, Hitler was very interested in dive bombers, and the Navy had an aircraft carrier, which was passed under this situation.
Now that the aircraft carrier had set sail, Hitler felt the stability of the sea giant and was very proud.
”By the way, why didn't you see the carrier plane?” Hitler suddenly remembered something.
After hearing Hitler's question, Captain Hans lonsdorf immediately replied, ”the carrier aircraft on our aircraft carrier are not carried at sea, but on land. When we sail to the sea, the carrier will have the opportunity to fly over, land on the aircraft carrier and meet us.”
In later generations, longsdorf was famous. He was a real imperial soldier.
The German Navy was not strong, and Langsdorf commanded the pocket battleship admiral Graf spee. He was active in the Indian Ocean and Atlantic Ocean and attacked British merchant ships.
Within a few months, his warships sank nine enemy merchant ships, but did not kill any of the crew of the enemy merchant ships.
The British sent three cruisers, ejax, Achilles and Exeter, to track admiral Graf spee for months.
In the waters near Montevideo in the South Atlantic, the two sides met. Although one was against three, lonsdorf became braver and braver,
The ”Exeter” cruiser was seriously damaged, and the battle continued late into the night. Admiral Graf spee suffered heavy losses. In order to repair the warship, lansdorf commanded the warship to the port of Montevideo, a neutral country in Uruguay. As a result, only German warships were allowed to stay here for 72 hours. Can't repair the warship.
As captain, lonsdorf transferred most of the sailors to the German merchant ship ”Tacoma” in the port of Montevideo. He took the other 40 crew members on the pocket battleship ”Admiral Graf spee” and drove the battleship out of the port to sea.
After leaving Uruguay's territorial waters three nautical miles away, they anchored and the crew transferred to the lifeboat. Then they blew up admiral Graf spee.
After all this, Colonel Langsdorf took out his pistol and committed suicide. He followed his warship.
Although the German defense ministry criticized Langsdorf's behavior at that time, he and his warships won respect, including his opponents.
This is the real soldier of the Empire!
Therefore, at the hint of Shrek, longsdorf was finally selected from many naval officers to become the captain of the aircraft carrier.
In fact, in the experience of later generations, the aircraft carrier captain had better be selected from the pilots of carrier based aircraft. However, the German aircraft carrier has just begun, and there is no such rich technical reserve. It can only be selected from the existing personnel.
