"You were still clamoring about the uselessness of the battleship before. Why are you thinking of installing advanced equipment on it now?”
The system did not seem to want to give it to him, but asked angrily.
"Eh…I did that because I didn't observe our position carefully.”Adolf smiled apologetically." We're not facing the Pacific Ocean, but the Atlantic Ocean. We're in the westerly belt, and there are many strong winds here. Most of the time, it's not conducive to the take-off of carrier aircraft. Also, the aircraft carriers in this era don't have the ability to fight at night.”
Adolf didn't want to offend the system. If it ignored him, it would be difficult to fight this war in the future.
After all, with Germany's current industrial capacity, even if it developed for a few more years, it would still be difficult to compete with the steel flood of the Soviet Union and the plane wash of the United States.
He needed stronger weapons, and he could only rely on the system.
"So, you thought of installing the Washington's fire-control radar on the Splismeyer to make it more capable of fighting at night?”
The system asked lazily in a soft loli voice.
"Actually…I don't just want to install it on the Splismer. I also want to install it on the Scharnhorst class heavy cruiser.”
Adolf said, scratching his head.
"Scharnhorst-class patrolman? Ahahahaha!"
He did not expect the system to laugh when it heard his words.
"What are you laughing at?"
Adolf was a little confused.
"That freak whose battleship doesn't look like a battleship and whose cruiser doesn't look like a cruiser?”The system didn't seem to have a good impression of this kind of warship.
"No, this is what I think is right now!”Adolf quickly said," The firepower of the Scharnhorst heavy cruiser is between that of a battleship and a battle cruiser. Later, the British battleships couldn't catch up with it, and the battle cruisers couldn't beat it. Therefore, it still has an advantage and can be matched with the Piesmey-class.”
Adolf explained.
"Yes, yes. So? You want to use the technology of aircraft carriers to build a fleet of cannons to fight against the Royal Navy?”
The system snorted.
"I'm not stupid!" Adolf was speechless." What I mean is that when we attack Britain in the future, when the Count Zeppelin aircraft carrier and land-based fighter jets are dispatched to seize the air superiority, the navy's large ships can carry out heavy artillery bombardment from the coast to increase the defensive pressure of Great Britain.”
Adolf stated his plan.
Of course, warships were not built for brainless strength. Other than naval battles, large warships could be used as stable output turrets in battles against the British, destroying air defense forces and radar positions near the coast.
This way, not only could the aircraft carrier get rid of the trouble of ground attacks and focus on air combat, but it could also save costs and cause long-term damage to the coastal defense line.
"Hmm, alright. Since you've put in so much effort, I'll be merciful and reward you with a radar design blueprint!”
The system was like a little girl, laughing again.
"A radar? Directly to the radar?"
Adolf thought for a moment and opened the system's technological database. He found that there was indeed a " radar " category, but it was classified as an auxiliary facility and not marked as military.
"This database is ranked according to the importance that Germany placed on weapons during World War II. At that time, they didn't pay much attention to radars, so of course, they didn't put it in the military facilities column.”
the system said.
"Damn it! You should have said so earlier! I almost had to use these few thousand Technology Points to exchange for a battleship!”Adolf shouted.
"Alright, now that I have this, I don't even need the battleship blueprint. I can just get it on the radar!”
Adolf was so excited that his hands trembled when he saw the database of the early XAF-based radar, the advanced MK8 radar, and the groundbreaking MKX radar system.
"The MK8 is already advanced enough. Even the MKX, which can give the cannon the ability to blind fire at night, has it! And it only cost 3000 Technology Points! Aiya, we've profited this time!"
Adolf quickly used his Technology Points to exchange for a complete set of shipborne radars. As for the aircraft radar and the ground radar, he did not consider them for the time being.
After all, these would be available in the future. Now that those warships had been built, the ship-borne radar was in urgent need.
"With these things, our battleships will have the ability to fight beyond visual range. This threat to surface warships is even greater than most aircraft carriers of this era!”
Adolf could not wait. After thanking the system, he hurriedly gathered the engineers from the shipyard and the Weapons Bureau.
"Immediately start manufacturing the radar mentioned in the proposal. Make sure that MKX completes the manufacturing work before the Pisimai goes into the water!”
"What? The theory was too difficult? Not easy to understand? Then, he would copy it according to the blueprint!”
Adolf didn't accept any of the engineers 'rebuttal, nor did he want to explain further. He directly assigned the task.
Based on his experience with jet engines, Adolf knew that when the researchers received his proposal, their first reaction was not to follow the order and directly manufacture it. Instead, they would study the theory carefully and wait for him to urge them before slowly producing it.
Now, Adolf realized that research could be done slowly, but actual production had to start first. After all, all the data on the design plan was clearly written.
However, he soon discovered the crux of the problem. Because some things were too advanced, the country did not have enough production facilities and products. Every time a finished product was manufactured, there was no way to repair it if it was broken. The engineers did not even fully understand the principle and did not know how to repair it.
"Misch, bring me Spear!”
Adolf thought about it and decided to play it safe.
"Princeps, you were looking for me?"
From time to time, Spear, who had been promoted to the director of the Imperial Weapons Bureau, came to the Chancellor's office.
"Previously, when you calculated, oh no…when you were protecting the Arabs, the group of Arab scientists were with you, right?”
Adolf asked.
"Yes, according to your instructions, they are protected in the research laboratories of various universities in the capital. They are protected by my specialists 24 hours a day.”
Spear thought for a moment and said.
This so-called " protection " was a measure that Adolf took to prevent foreign spies from taking the opportunity to approach them and prevent them from leaving the Empire.
"Alright. I have a new design plan now, but it requires someone who is talented in the fields of radio and physics. Go back and prepare for it and let them take over the research. The Imperium will not treat them unfairly!”
Adolf ordered.
"Yes, sir." Spear took the stack of blueprints and data and glanced at it. She didn't understand what was going on, so she bowed and left.
"Hey, wait a minute. How's the research and development of the aircraft carrier and carrier-based aircraft going?”Adolf suddenly stopped him.
" Reporting to the head of state, the construction of the aircraft carrier 'Earl Zeppelin' has begun. As for the aircraft carrier…"
Spear was a little troubled.
"What's wrong with a carrier aircraft?"
Adolf raised his eyebrows and asked.
"This project has not yet been approved by Marshal Goering, and the Air Force has refused to provide support for the Navy's research and development organization.”Spear whispered.
"Humph! Greem knew that he was conceited to this extent!”Adolf roared angrily and threw a document from his desk.
"Take this and go directly to the Air Force officer!”
Spear was stunned. She looked down and saw that it was an order signed by Adolf. She did not dare to refute and left immediately.
