This time, the bomber troops performed very well. "We almost threw the bomb down at the height of the other party's mast. Fortunately, I reacted quickly enough, otherwise I might have hit the rangefinder at the top of the Saxon mast! I saw the black and gray behind my plane, it was smoked by the Saxon chimney!" Afterwards, a pilot bragged to his colleagues in a very exaggerated tone.

A total of 9 bombs hit three, one fell near the chimney, and the red pigment directly dyed eight chimneys. The second one fell on the No. 3 turret, leaving a huge radioactive abstract pattern on it. The third one hit the side of the ship. The deck that was more than ten meters long was dyed red while hitting the guardrail.

"Or what's the case, let's admit defeat, the warship must enter the dock, so let's report the results of this exercise to His Majesty the German Emperor! At the same time, telegraph the planes and let them retreat." Scher directly crossed Major General Becken this time and ordered.

This exercise was a bit beyond expectations and broke the warship. Well, no one expected the torpedo to hit the rudder directly. I don’t know when I will be pk-in with the British in the future. The absence of a Bavarian-class battleship is a big problem. In addition, the purpose of the exercise has been achieved. If it were a British ship in actual combat, it would have returned to the sea long ago, so no one opposed Schell’s order.

"Only more than half of the planes participated in the battle. There were no more than 30 planes in total, and they actually hit 5 torpedoes and 3 bombs. Such an attack is enough to destroy a battleship! This is definitely an epoch-making weapon! Ruprecht, you did not disappoint me! You proved your talents and wisdom with practical actions!" After seeing the battle report, the German Emperor could simply describe it as ecstatic! However, 30 aircraft can sink a battleship in good condition with one wave of attack!

"From now on, the navy's military and funds will be directly handed over to you. Ruprecht should not let me down. Except for the personnel's salary and necessary maintenance funds, all the rest will be handed over to you! There are also the planes and pilots you want, I will give you! Then you put their ideas on the plane! Yes, that's it." The German Emperor walked back and forth on the deck excitedly.

"It's probably not enough to convert two cruise ships into aircraft carriers, right? At least three! Yes, that's it, Ruprecht, now you can choose 3 cruise ships into aircraft carriers, and change them according to the Wittjesbach!" The German Emperor was excited and directly added a quota for the prince.

"Well, it seems that the purpose of this exercise has been achieved." You can't say that among more than 3 dozen fast cruise ships and high-speed ships in Germany, the prince really fell in love with several ships, but some of them are now in use, so it's not convenient to recruit.

However, although the prince's goal has been achieved, he still feels that the decision of the German Emperor is sometimes a bit hasty. If it is understandable to add an additional ship, then the next decision of the German Emperor makes the prince feel a bit too exaggerated!

"If we change the Emperor-class cruise ship to an aircraft carrier, then can we carry 200 aircraft? Damn, our three Emperor-class cruise ships are in the United States and one is mortgaged to Argentina. There is only one in the country. If we had known this, we should have left them. I will give you the largest ship of the German Empire and the most proud existence, and then you forge it into the sharpest sword of the Imperial Navy!"

"Hold the grass! Are you crazy?! Are your heads straight?" If the person who said this was the Emperor of Germany and he could not afford to offend him, the prince really wanted to perform a craniotomy on him to see if this guy's mind was covered with mucus! Emperor-level cruise ship! Such a large ship cannot be done in terms of construction period, cost or cost-effectiveness! At least we have talked about the Navy. Have you forgotten what you learned back then?

The prince couldn't help but complain in his heart, because the order from the German Emperor was really unreliable! The emperor-class cruise ship was definitely the largest ship of this era. Whether it was a warship or a civilian ship, it was impossible to say compared to this thing! The Bavarian-class battleship was 30,000 tons, with a length of 215 meters. The Fuso-class battleship was 32,000 tons, with a length of more than 220 meters. This is the largest and top among warships. But what about comparing with the Emperor? That can only be a small witch! In terms of tonnage and body size, it is not of the same level as the same level!

Take the Bismarck, the third ship of the Emperor-class cruise ship, as an example. (Yes, you read it right, it is Bismarck, the same name as the German battleship in Battle 2!) The hull is 291 meters long, the hull is 30.5 meters wide, the draft is 11 meters, and the displacement is 56,551 tons! It is equipped with 48 boilers, with a maximum output power of 66,000 horsepower! The maximum speed is 23.5 knots! If you look at the size, no other ships were right at the same time, and a total of 3 ships were built in this class at that time! This shows how powerful the German shipbuilding and industry were!

This ship is really big, and it can even be said that if it is thrown into the second battle, this size of aircraft carrier is basically the largest. No one has surpassed the one before Midway Island has been in service! Do you want to install aircraft? For the small aircraft of the first battle, it may be no problem to install 200 aircraft. However, this ship is definitely not suitable to be converted into a warship!

Not to mention anything else, just for this project, you demolish most of the superstructures of a 56,000-ton luxury cruise ship, and then you might as well rebuild one by the components you need, just the funds, manpower and time you spend! This is a bit like the Normandy cruise ship in history. The largest cruise ship in the world during the Second War was 80,000 tons. Judging from the tonnage, if this product was in service, Shinno would be incomparable! But the Americans decisively gave up after calculating the time and economic costs. The same is true for the emperor-class cruise ship. It looks good, think about it and forget it, don't take it seriously.

In general, real cruise ships are converted into aircraft carriers with reserved designs. For example, the Japanese modified three aircraft carriers, Daeo, Feiying and Falcon, were used by the Navy. The Navy paid for it and designed it directly according to the standards of the warship. Even the cabins were taken into account the needs of the aircraft carrier in the future. In this way, it could save money and shorten the construction period. The speed was relatively fast.

As for this plane, the Vettelsbach is the same. It was originally an aircraft carrier built in the name of a merchant ship, and it was directly changed before it even took a day. It has very good relationship with the aircraft carrier in all aspects. There are actually several "prepared aircraft carriers" designed for one or another. So the prince did not consider changing such a flashy guy into an aircraft carrier. This time, the prince had to admire that William II had such a big imagination!

"This is not necessary. If the Bismarck is to be changed, then we probably will not be in service until the end of the war. We can use the funds and working hours of this ship. We can completely change two other aircraft carriers." Prince Ruprecht said speechlessly.

"Okay, you are an expert, so I'll leave this matter to you. Do it well and don't let me down." The Emperor of Germany was slightly stunned at first, with a slightly dissatisfied expression on his face. "This way, you can change three more ships, and add one more if necessary. Well, just like that, if you want that ship to be taken away, tell me, no one else needs to worry about it."

"That's good, now, let's take a look at the warriors who hold long swords to slaughter the dragon!" Naturally, no one denies the proposal of the Emperor of Germany. Whether it is because of the joy in his heart or to show off, the prince doesn't mind making the Emperor who has run hundreds of kilometers happy. The Emperor of Germany has the rest of his time to "play and relax". The prince's work has just begun.

With carrier-based aircraft, almost trained pilots, and an aircraft carrier that is about to enter service, but this is still a long distance from the Prince's aircraft carrier team. Not to mention it being used on a large scale, simply building the warships behind and arranging tactics is a troublesome.
