Everyone's eyes were fixed on him, which made Li Zihao feel a little pressured. He was just an ordinary person before, but everyone here was the elite of this empire and the higher-ups who controlled this country.
"Why are you all looking at me? You don't believe me?" Li Zihao scratched the back of his head and asked," What are you guys thinking by looking at me like I'm an idiot?"
Needless to say, everyone nodded in unison.
"I have a suggestion. We must develop the navy. However, we don't need to build battleships; instead, we can build aircraft carriers. Because the cost of aircraft carriers is only 1/3 of that of battleships. Additionally, a battleship alone is absolutely not a match for aircraft carriers. The cost-performance ratio of battleships is too low. In this way, we can get more powerful naval warships at only 1/3 of the original cost.”
"What do you mean? The Air Force and the Army are raised by their mothers, but our Navy is raised by our stepmothers?”Danielle, the skinny navy commander, was unhappy. Unfortunately, her voice was a little childish. Although she spoke very seriously, it did not have any deterrence. It made people feel that she was a little girl next door who was throwing a tantrum.
Li Zihao's words made her furious. Even if the military expenditure was saved, it should still belong to the Navy. Why should it be given to the Air Force and the Army?
She hated that arrogant woman because she was of noble birth, and the navy was a noble army. She looked down on Goreen, who was not a low-class civilian, and thought that she was just a nouveau riche. Of course, this was also related to Goreen's habit of liking luxurious life and items.
In fact, most of the Prussian generals were not members of the Nachen Party, and Golin was an exception.
For most Prussians, they only followed the orders of the government and the head of state to fight. They believed in the principle that soldiers only fought wars and did not interfere in politics. The Prussians 'National Defense Force and the SS were completely different teams. The latter's political color was too strong.
Golin had participated in the last war. She was a famous beautiful ace pilot in the Pu army. She had shot down 22 planes and received the Knight Iron Cross medal from Emperor William II. She cared about this honor very much. Whenever she wore a military uniform, she would wear this medal.
As an Air Force graduate, she met Shadia and was charmed by her charm. She joined the Nachen Party and became Shadia's follower. She slowly became the second most powerful person in the Nachen Party and established the famous secret police organization, the Gestapo.
Just last year, Shadia, who had taken control, rebuilt the Prussian Air Force and appointed Golin as the Air Force Commander, allowing her to develop the air force of the Third Reich.
Shadia's gaze was like a steel knife as she stared at Denise. This made Denise, who Li Zihao couldn't tell if she was a young girl or an adult woman, shiver. She sat down and didn't dare to say anything else.
Li Zihao had a better understanding of Shadia. She was not only a beautiful genius, but also a female boss who could subdue those arrogant soldiers.
"Is an aircraft carrier really that powerful?”Shadia didn't trust the Prussians 'navy because their opponents were too powerful. That wretched woman, Elizabeth, allocated countless funds to her navy every year. She was so rich that she drooled.
To put it bluntly, the current Princes Navy couldn't even defeat a squadron.
The Royal Navy had become an insurmountable mountain in Pronia, and Shadia could only look at the sea and sigh.
No matter how powerful the Prussians 'army was, without a navy, they would not be able to cross the straits and land on the British Isles.
Shadia didn't have a deep understanding of the navy and didn't know the role of aircraft carriers. It should be said that most people in this era didn't trust aircraft carriers, even within the navy. Only some navy generals realized that this new warship would change the world's naval warfare in the future.
They replaced battleships and became the main force ships that could decide the fate of naval battles.
Not only Shadia, but several admirals also had reservations about this. Their thoughts were still stuck in the previous battle.
They didn't know the significance of the birth of aircraft carriers, because aircraft carriers could launch attacks from afar and threaten the enemy's inland.
This allowed the navy's combat effectiveness to rise sharply, and at the same time, the cost was greatly reduced.
"General Golin, you are the commander of the Air Force. I believe you should know the future of the Air Force. When the aircraft can become faster and stronger, the threat it poses will naturally increase.
We can equip planes with bombs and torpedoes to attack enemy warships and military targets.
In my opinion, in future wars, aircraft will be the most important military unit. In the past, the most important thing was the control of the sea, but the moment the aircraft was born, history changed.
The development of industry and technology had made wars harder and crueler. How long would it take to kill 10,000 people in ancient times?
Now that the machine gun had enough bullets, it could complete this goal in a very short time.
General Golin, as an ace pilot, you must know that planes have a great advantage in reconnaissance. The political commissar created fighter planes to drive away the enemy's reconnaissance planes. The birth of the Shooting Coordinators allowed machine guns to be installed on the planes, turning the planes into weapons that could fight.
When the performance of the aircraft developed to a certain extent, it could carry more powerful weapons and perform various combat missions.
The ownership of the air superiority would greatly affect the overall situation of the war and the tactical advantage at each stage. It would even determine the future fate of the Empire.”
Li Zihao wasn't exaggerating. In history, the allied forces had relied on the advantage of fighter jets and air strikes to obtain a decisive advantage. In the end, they succeeded in counterattacking.
These high-ranking officials of the Third Reich were not fools, especially the generals. They began to ponder. Because it was a three-dimensional war, the role of aircraft would affect the future of the three armed forces.
Li Zihao had mentioned Gelin many times. It was unknown whether he did it on purpose or to embarrass her, but Gelin, who was deep in thought, ignored Li Zihao.
"Your statement is based on the possibility of the plane becoming stronger. Is that possible?”A certain politician raised his own rebuttal, because this assumption was based on the perspective that the plane could become stronger.
"Of course you can."
To Li Zihao's surprise, Gelin actually stood up and glared at that person, making him tremble in fear. This guy was giving Gelin an eyesore!
To say such words in front of her, wasn't that courting death?!
As a genius, after listening to Li Zihao's words, Shadia saw the war potential of aircraft carriers.
Airplanes undoubtedly brought a storm of revolution to war. Any form of war depended on the technological means of war at that time, and airplanes could fly freely in three dimensions.
The only thing that could deal with airplanes was airplanes. No matter what the purpose was, the importance of the air force was self-evident.
Even the blitzkrieg of the Mantiane was built on the premise of having air superiority. Otherwise, the planes of the French chicken could turn the Prussians 'tanks into scrap metal on the road.
