Hamburg is not only the second largest city in Germany, but also the most important seaport and the largest foreign trade center in Germany, the second financial center in Germany, and the economic and cultural metropolis of northern Germany.

After Seattle in the United States, Hamburg is the second largest aircraft manufacturing area in the world and the center of journalism and industrial manufacturing in Germany.

The main and two branch roads of the Elbe run through the city of Hamburg, and the Ulster River, the Bühler River and hundreds of rivers and small canals form a dense network of rivers and canals throughout the city, so the Port of Hamburg is a dual-purpose port of river and sea, and has become an important hub for river and sea, sea and land transport in Europe.

When Britain and the United States carried out strategic bombing against Germany, they bombed Hamburg four times at night from July 24 to August 3, 1943, and two of them were supplemented by the American Air Force during the day.

The British and American forces dispatched more than 17,000 bomber sorties, so that 60% of the houses in Hamburg, Germany, were blown up, and more than 100,000 civilians were killed and injured.

Moreover, in this air raid, the British and American air forces also first adopted electronic jamming tactics, dropping a large pile of metal aluminum foil strips to interfere with the German radar, so as to reduce the chance of casualties to the damaged aircraft.

In short, in the Anglo-American strategic bombing strategy, Hamburg was blown up half of its prosperous area and became a depraved city.

But now Hamburg has temporarily regained the air supremacy of Hamburg and other Germany after Chen Yanlong's rebirth; The reconstruction of Hamburg is also in full swing.

In particular, the construction of the new port city, which covers an area of more than 15 square kilometers, is in full swing and is in full swing, and its appearance is gradually showing up in front of the world at a rapid pace.

Moreover, this new town transformed from the former port area is a new town that Chen Yanlong will extend the city of Hamburg to the north bank of the Elbe River in the style of the later port town, and is a new urban area integrating residence, culture, leisure, tourism and commerce.

It's a pity that the current Elbe Concert Hall is still a moving building, because the Swiss architects Herzog and de Meuron were still born.

The world-famous Elbe Concert Hall and the Bird's Nest in Beijing were designed and built by Herzog & de Meuron, the Swiss architectural firm founded by these two men.

Their company was founded in 1978 in Basel, Switzerland, and its headquarters are located there, so there is no way for Chen Yanlong, who is now in 1943, to find them to build the Elbe Concert Hall for him.

However, Chen Yanlong can hire other architects to build according to the appearance and style of their design, and Speer is also a suitable person in charge of architecture.

When Chen Yanlong took Erich Raeder on a cruise ship through the rivers of Hamburg, he was once again shocked to see the new buildings and redevelopment areas that were in full swing around him.

Because he did not expect that Hamburg, which had been bombed by the British and American air forces and was about to become a half-ruined city, could be in such a short time; It was rebuilt by Chen Yanlong, and gradually restored, and it seems to be much more beautiful and novel than the original hamburger.

"My Führer! Is this reconstruction work your order? ”

Erich Raeder, who was shocked for the second time, stared at Chen Yanlong with grateful eyes, although he resigned angrily because of a quarrel with Hitler, but he was also deeply angry and saddened by the strategic bombing of the British and American air forces in the German Cup, which damaged many city buildings.

Because he still has the blood of the German Empire in his bones and is a pure German, he is still full of patriotism; Moreover, he used to be a German naval marshal, so he was deeply touched by Hamburg, one of the most important ports in Germany.

"Yes! I am the head of the empire, how can I let my own people suffer disaster? ”

"Although the British and American air forces were allowed to take advantage of the lack of leadership, they bombed many of our cities, and killed and injured a large number of civilians. There is nothing I can do to change such a brutal truth; But after the war, I still have to find a way to improve it right away! ”

In response, Chen Yanlong gazed at the scenery on both sides of the Hamburg River.

When he finished saying this, a chilling cool breeze instantly greeted him, making Chen Yanlong tighten his clothes.

"My Führer, you have changed, and you have become a lot of lovers!"

"Thank you for your concern and help to the citizens of Hamburg!"

Seeing this, Erich Raeder said to Chen Yanlong in a grateful tone for the first time.

"Hmmm! This is what I should do, you're welcome! ”

"That's it! It's also time for us to go to our aircraft carrier fleet, and we have seen the scenery of Hamburg too! ”

Hearing this, Chen Yanlong smiled slightly, stared at Erich Raeder and smiled.

Because in order to communicate with Erich Raeder and improve the atmosphere of conflict between the two of them; As soon as Chen Yanlong arrived in Hamburg, he took the other party on a cruise ship, and under the protection of a large number of guards, he toured the scenery of Hamburg with Erich Raeder, chatting and having emotional cards.

For Chen Yanlong's approach, Erich Raeder was unimpressed at first; And he didn't say much to respond to Chen Yanlong's inquiry.

But when he found out that the reconstruction of Hamburg was proceeding rapidly and changing, the road gradually did not continue to snub Chen Yanlong, but his attitude towards the other party changed significantly and became better.

"Okay! I'm also curious about what the Führer's aircraft carrier fleet looks like for me? And I also wonder if the aircraft carrier fleet, which excites Dönitz and Marshal Hitthofen, is really that exciting! ”

Not long after the words were spoken, Erich Raeder also responded with curiosity.

"You'll see soon, the aircraft carrier fleet I gave you is in the North Sea."

Chen Yanlong said with a bright smile.

Not long after, the cruise ship they were on arrived at Haikou in the North Sea, where the German aircraft carrier fleet was moored.

The 60,000-ton Forrestal-class aircraft carrier CVA59 "Forrestal" and CVA60 "Saratoga" instantly caught Erich Raeder's eyes.

"This ...... Oh my God! My Führer! When did you have such a huge aircraft carrier fleet, how did I, as a former marshal, know nothing! ”

Looking at the two huge Forrestal-class aircraft carriers in front of him, Erich Raeder was stunned for the third time, and exclaimed in shock.

Especially when he saw that behind the two flight decks, which were the first to use steam catapults, beveled and straight-through mixed layouts, and were the first aircraft carriers specially designed and built to cooperate with jet aircraft, there were still a large number of fleets lined up, his expression was even more wonderful, and his mouth almost fell to the ground with his mouth wide open, and his eyes were even more exaggerated and open.

Because at this moment, Erich Raeder felt as if he was in a dream, and he couldn't extricate himself.

"Am I dreaming?"

Finally, Erich Raeder muttered in disbelief.

Because he has been in the German Navy for so long, he has never seen the emergence of an aircraft carrier fleet with such a strong and formidable lineup in Germany.

At the same time, at this moment, he finally understood why Dönitz and Field Marshal Hitthofen were so excited, so excited, and so full of praise when they mentioned Chen Yanlong and the aircraft carrier fleet they were equipped......
