On the issue of construction period, the Japanese still prefer France. Compared with the Italians, the French are still very fast in shipbuilding. It’s certainly not as good as the Germans and the British, but it’s not a bit faster than Italy. For example, take the French before the war to build the Gudau-class battleship. The construction period of this battleship averaged between 2 and a half to 3 years. . However, the construction period of the next-level Brestani-class battleship was affected by war factors, resulting in a construction period of three to three and a half years. (In history, the construction period of the Gupa-class battleship was 3 years fast and 4 years slow.)

Well, what about the Italians? It is also a dreadnought ship, and it is also a time of peace. It took 4 years for the Italians to complete a dreadnought ship! And this plane Italian did not participate in the war, but its shipbuilding speed still did not increase, so that the slowest battleship built in Italy actually took 5 years! Brother, completed a dreadnought ship in 5 years! With this efficiency, the Japanese can't stand it! You know, it takes only three and a half to four years to build a Fuso-class battleship in Japan.

So much so that the Japanese navy even produced such a conclusion, even if the Italians now have a hull, if the Japanese naval shipyard is allowed to build this warship from scratch, it may be faster than the Italians... .. So when you encounter such an inefficient country, there is really no way at all!

In other words, simply from the current hull situation and construction efficiency, France has a big advantage over Italy. These advantages are enough for the Japanese to choose France instead of Italy. However, in another private exchange between France and the Japanese, what a French officer named Darlan said to the Japanese made the Japanese finally put Bao on France. People.

"As for the forward-looking and technical nature of the new-style warships, your country does not have to worry at all, because with the end of the war, the French Republic and the neighboring countries in the east have reached an understanding. Although the price paid is a bit heavy, the gains are also considerable. At least we have integrated into a huge market, not only in the civilian field, but also in the military field. The aircraft designed by French aircraft designers have participated in the bidding of German military aircraft. In return, the Germans are also willing to share some parts with us. Design and thinking. And the Germans also said that if they can prove some in this war, it is acceptable." Darlang said to the Japanese representative. The underlying meaning is that the French Navy and the German Navy have achieved technology sharing.

Well, is what Darlang said true? To say that there is cooperation between the two countries in the military field, this is true. After all, the French-designed aircraft participated in the German bidding activities. The French aircraft and tanks have also begun to be replaced with some German engines, and they have also purchased some parts. License production. But to say how much core content the navy, especially the construction of large battleships, shared between the two sides, that is obviously nonsense, the Germans will definitely not give it!

Therefore, Darlang cleverly used some things that existed in reality. After induction, he successfully convinced the Japanese through the skills of 7 points of truth and 3 points of falsehood. And it just so happened that the French did put forward some interesting arguments, such as the armoring of the flight deck. This idea actually existed a long time ago. The German Navy considered this issue, and other countries also considered it. , It’s just that for various reasons, this idea is not finally realized, after all, you have to consider risks.

But for this so-called risk, the French are the last to consider, after all, the money for shipbuilding comes from Japan, and the Japanese who use this warship are also Japanese! Well, now the question is, should the French take risks? As long as Japan can be fooled over, it is entirely for France to take advantage and Japan to take risks. The French have no reason to refuse! However, the Japanese are also considered lame...

So the Japanese and the French signed an agreement on the plan to transform the Normandy battleship into an aircraft carrier, using the unfinished hull of Normandy, and the French government promised to complete the aircraft carrier within two years. Compared with the previous aircraft carriers, this aircraft carrier does have its own unique features. At least, its hull is designed completely in accordance with military standards. It also uses an armored deck and double-layer hangar design.

Stimulated by contracts and money, the French were very efficient. In fact, after the end of the war, the navy had almost no restrictions on the French who had completed all the materials for a large aircraft carrier, such as power systems and armor. Boards, various accessories and command systems, and even various artillery can be directly unloaded from army warehouses or naval warships, and a large number of veterans can also provide sufficient labor. Some French parts can also be removed from Imported from Germany........

Therefore, the French with unprecedented fighting spirit designed an aircraft carrier that is absolutely outstanding in this era on this huge hull. Of course, it is definitely not the best, because during the construction of this warship, Germany People's new aircraft carrier is also under construction. On experience and technical level. The French and Germans are still far behind.

However, no matter what ~lightnovelpub.net~ the French were still full of sincerity when building this warship, as far as possible to meet the requirements of the Japanese navy for the new aircraft carrier, and in the exchanges between France and Japan, the French It also benefits a lot. It can be said that the No. 7 plan has a very profound impact on the future aircraft carrier construction plans of France and Japan. There are also some classic designs and cases in the construction process.

In the initial design, the Japanese Navy proposed to store more than 85% of all carrier-based aircraft in the hangar. If calculated based on the aircraft carrier with a maximum of 90 or more carrier-based aircraft, then the hangar must be placed at least Nearly 80 aircraft. Moreover, the Japanese Navy stated that it would not accept ceiling-suspended aircraft layouts similar to those of the British and Americans, because they believed that this suspension was not good for aircraft maintenance, and the battlefield assembly would be too troublesome.

This requirement alone brought a lot of trouble to the French design. The reason is simple. This aircraft carrier is to be equipped with an armored flight deck, and the length of the armored flight deck covers the entire hangar. Well, now the question is, how to place a hangar that can accommodate 80 aircraft on an aircraft carrier of more than 20,000 tons, and then place an armor plate on the top? This is a very difficult question.
