Adolf heaved a sigh of relief after leaving the navy department.
"I've finally settled the navy matter.”As he thought of this, he quickly returned to the Prime Minister's office.
"Princeps, may I ask why you called me here?”
From time to time, seeing that he had been left behind, Doenitz felt puzzled.
"Don't worry, Carl." Adolf sat at his desk, flipping through the blueprints sent by the system while gesturing for Karl to sit down in front of him.
"You heard the contents of the meeting just now. I called you here to hear your views on the naval construction plan.”
Adolf said to him with a smile.
"I don't think there's a problem with your idea of developing aircraft carriers.”Carl sat in front of Princeps and said calmly," However, building an aircraft carrier will take too long and consume too much resources. If a maritime dispute occurs during this period, I'm worried that the Imperial Navy will find it difficult to survive this period of vacuum.”
Adolf nodded in agreement.
Doenitz was telling the truth. It would take at least three years to build an aircraft carrier, and within these three years, the Empire's naval forces would not be able to compete with any of the surrounding countries without battleships.
"Then what do you think?”Adolf asked.
" I think you're right to build a submarine force, but I think you should first allocate some resources to build a submarine force. Not only are they cheap, but they also have a unique advantage over surface ships in intercepting routes and attacking ships.”
Carl expressed his opinion.
" Although we can't completely gain control of the sea just by relying on submarines, submarine tactics will undoubtedly pose a great threat to the enemies who dare to invade. We can even use submarines on a large scale to exercise continuous control over a certain range of sea areas. This has achieved the goal of weakening the enemy's sea blood vessels before the main navy forms combat effectiveness.”
"Very good!"
Adolf happily interrupted Karl, stood up, and handed him a signed letter of appointment.
"What?!"
After reading the contents of the letter of appointment, Carl's eyes almost popped out.
"You want to appoint me as the commander of the Empire's submarine force?!!”
" Your thinking is indeed beyond the vast majority of the current naval generals. I believe that you can do this, and…"
Adolf handed over another document. Carl took a look and saw that it was the design blueprint of a new submarine!
"The original U-shaped submarine Type 21 (XXI), which is also the most advanced submarine blueprint found by the system during World War II, should not disappoint me.”
Adolf thought to himself.
"Oh my god! Princeps, where did you get this blueprint?!!”Carl's eyes lit up after reading the blueprint carefully.
"What do you mean?" Adolf asked with a smile. The design of the Type-21 submarine was absolutely superior in 1935, and it wouldn't be outdated even ten years later. He asked this question because he wanted to know Karl's understanding of submarines.
"Although I'm not a technician, my opinion on submarines is that they have enough endurance and concealment. All the submarines in the world are diesel-electric propulsion. Not to mention that they are easily discovered when they are working, and their range is not enough to go to the distant sea.”
Carl analyzed," And this submarine uses a closed-cycle engine. I've heard of this before. Although it's only a theory, if it's really applied, then the submarine will have the ability to sail on ocean routes. It can also quietly pass through the coast of most hostile countries to break through the sea blockade!”
"Now, I can tell you clearly that the production of the new submarine has begun at the Germania Shipyard.”
Adolf said to Karl," Now, you are the commander of the Imperial submarine force. Although we have less than 20 submarines now, I believe that you will soon become a real commander.”
In his previous life, Xiao Rui had once asserted that the Empire's submarine force was the last vestige of the navy before aircraft carriers dominated the sea battlefield.
Battleships in the era of giant cannons were indeed romantic for men, but it was only romantic. The real battlefield had long sent magnificent battleships to the bottom of the sea.
After saying that, he handed over the submarine force construction plan that the system had prepared for him to Carl.
"This is the construction plan for the future submarine force that I have decided on. Take it back and study it. If you have any suggestions or modifications, as long as it is not too big, you don't have to tell me.”
Adolf said.
"You…you want to build 300 submarines! He also wanted to divide the entire North Atlantic into five war zones!”
Carl's voice was trembling with excitement. This way, his dream that he had conceived for many years could finally be realized.
"The rest is the establishment of the submarine military academy.”Adolf said.
"Don't worry, Princeps. The submarine force will definitely not disappoint you!”
Carl saluted.
