The Third Reich in Desperation

However, if you use the gun diameter algorithm that the German Navy likes to use, the length of the breech block is usually added to the calculation of the magnification of this type of artillery, so that it can reach the 56 times the diameter of the Soviet population.

Even though he was aware of the trickiness of the algorithm, George still couldn't get in touch. This self-deception algorithm that the German Navy loved to use would become a fraudulent means for Reinhardt to promote the "Peter the Great" to the Soviet Union.

However, even according to the calculation of the Royal Navy, this gun should have a super multiple diameter of more than 52!

This magnification can be called the best among all kinds of contemporary naval guns!

The unusually high muzzle velocity, the super straight ballistic trajectory, and the astonishing range, no matter which point fully satisfies the theory of the giant ship cannon.

However, there is a price to be paid for everything!

So what is the price?The first of which is body life.

If the armor-piercing projectile is pierced, the gun will only have a barrel life of 130 rounds. If this number is exceeded, the accuracy of the shelling will not be guaranteed.

Another is weight.Due to the high chamber pressure and high magnification, the weight of this gun is also astonishing. The weight of a single gun has almost caught up with the British 15-inch gun.But in the eyes of the Soviets, these are all worth it!

Because the Soviets were uncharacteristically indifferent to this kind of information leakage, George was able to stand on the front deck and take several close-ups of the two triple turrets with high barrels.

Behind the turret, the red flag with sickle and ax on the top of the mast is rolling in the wind.Behind it is the St. Andrew's naval flag fluttering in the sea breeze on the bow.And from George's viewfinder, you can also see faint black smoke from the chimney behind the bridge because of the ignition of the boiler.

At this moment, George seemed to see a sleeping giant red beast slowly opening its eyes, licking its fangs, showing its ferocity for the first time!

At George's request, the Soviet side changed the next stop of the visit to the engine room.

Along the way, George also observed several secondary guns along the way.Among them, there are 150 turret secondary guns and semi-open 105 secondary guns that are extremely similar to German naval guns.The information on the German-made naval guns is all accurate information obtained by the United Kingdom after signing the "Treaty of Versailles". George is sure that there will be no mistakes!

What role did the Germans play in this matter? !

Just when George was trying to connect various phenomena, the fire layout of the Peter the Great diverted his interest and attention.

In his impression, the UK also had a layout of six-inch guns and four-inch guns with similar firepower positioning.But in terms of defense, it was not as good as the two he saw now.

In addition, the Peter the Great's huge anti-torpedo boat gun with a super long barrel is also amazing.

But George always felt that this "beautiful battleship" seemed to be missing something...

Because of work and a strong network of relationships, George still knows a lot about the British navy's plan to attack ships with aircraft.

When George inquired about the Soviets on the sidelines, what should they do if they should deal with the aircraft attack.The tall captain next to him actually translated the words of the commander of the Soviet fleet: "The plane is not capable of carrying weapons that can seriously damage the capital ship. Besides, we still have a lot of machine guns and 20 cannons on the ship for air-to-air combat. The elevation angle of the 37 hand cannon is also sufficient, and it can be used to supplement the anti-aircraft fire."

George stopped talking after listening...

The British Swordfish, which can mount torpedoes, has long been in service. The German stuka bomber has been roaring since Spain. Today, when the power of aircraft is increasingly valued by all countries, the Soviet navy is still so naive?!

George is not a prophet. He does not know the future development of military technology like Reinhardt, a traverser.

But after all, he is a person who has access to enough information. He knows that Britain, the United States, and Japan have all built their own naval aviation forces, and France and Italy are also constantly trying in this regard.Even the German Navy, which has always seemed to be in a safe place, has also shown in intelligence the trend of converting merchant ships into aircraft carriers.

Although at present, it may be difficult for naval aviation to attack warships.But this kind of "unusual" bombardment compared to traditional battleships, this kind of fighting method that transcends the visual distance and pulls two-dimensional plane battles into three-dimensional space, is undoubtedly the germination of a new era!

This germination has been seen by people from all navies.Although attitudes are different, no country's navy has ever turned a blind eye or listened to it like the Soviet navy.

Looking at the Soviet fleet commander who may be a few years older than himself and able to command such a huge fleet, George sighed secretly in his heart.The great purge of the Soviet Union reported by the Italians dealt a huge blow to the Soviet military system!Just from this conversation, you can get a glimpse of the leopard!

Body 2 Chapter [-] Big News

The 33-year-old George is a well-known British military correspondent and a staff writer for The Times.

Born into a naval family, as a distinguished graduate of the Portsmouth Naval School, he would have served in the Navy as a promising officer.

However, unforeseen circumstances caused George to lose his little finger and ring finger of his right hand forever because of a shipboard drill accident, and he left his beloved navy because of this.

But fortunately, George is left-handed, and his superiors also felt that it was a pity that he retired like this. There was even a rear admiral of the Royal Navy who made it clear that if George wanted to, he could still stay in the navy through the back door.

In private, many people agree with the major general’s words. Wasn’t Nelson also one-armed and one-eyed back then, what happened to the lack of two fingers?

But George felt that even if he couldn't serve in the navy as a soldier, he could still do his duty for the Royal Navy.There are many ways to serve the country, and it doesn't have to be the end of a path that is no longer suitable.

In this way, he became a military reporter, following the warships of the British Empire to cruise around the world, and recorded what he saw and heard along the way.

George also served in the navy. Due to occupational diseases, he paid great attention to the construction of the navies of the countries along the way.

Whenever the cruise ends, he will find a quiet room, seriously write about the status of the naval construction of the countries along the way, the strange people and strange things on the warship, and publish it in the Times.

Sometimes it is even serialized because of its length.

The British people always admire the navy, and George's writing skills are also very solid, so there are many readers.

In just over two years, George became a well-known military correspondent and a professional commentator for The Times.

Not long ago, the chase in the North Sea made George pay attention.

George regretted the opportunity he had missed by not participating in that patrol.

This feeling of regret has troubled George for nearly half a year.Even the outbreak of the Polish War failed to distract George's attention!

Afterwards, he devoted himself to studying all the information on the "Soviet battleship". Not only did he find a relationship to see the original photo, but he also chatted privately with the then fleet commander, Brigadier General Joseph, about all the information about the ship.

Well, this "Soviet battleship" named Peter the Great undoubtedly humiliated the existence of the entire Royal Navy in the eyes of the fleet commander, Commodore Joseph.

But what Joseph has to admit is that this battleship, or the fast battleship George prefers, is indeed very elegant and modern.

He had once sailed aboard HMS Hood, the glory of the Royal Navy.Although it wasn't long, I was deeply fascinated by that giant ship.

However, the birth of Peter the Great, regardless of appearance or performance, has stabilized Hood's head!

(After all, Hood has been building for over 20 years)

In appearance, the Peter the Great and the Hood are equally slender and majestic.

The sharp Atlantic bow, the simple and elegant superstructure, and the well-proportioned triple turret, even outsiders who don't understand the navy have to admit that this is a very beautiful warship!

After feeling inferior to others in comparison, it is no wonder that Joseph, who had been a fan of Hood before, was not happy with it.

But George, who talks about things, is different from Joseph!

When George first got the report on the issue of The Times, which he did not participate in editing, he was fascinated by the ship at a glance.

George also knew that the Germans who had been fanning the flames on the other side of the strait would never be able to escape from the development of this matter.If they hadn't been watching the excitement and kept reporting the incident, how could the excitement of the incident have lasted so long?!

It doesn't matter if the Soviet Union gains face, the key is to lose the prestige of the British Empire!

It is precisely the matter of Britain's embarrassment that the entire European public opinion is happy to hear. After all, Britain, as a "European shit stick", has already accumulated a lot of grievances.

But what George didn't know was that the German newspapers were making such a fuss, not just to boo the people.

In fact, the navies of various countries have already been in a panic because of the news of the birth of this battleship.
