: 0.038s Scan: 0.026sThe price of a tank landing ship is not expensive. Mainz took a look and found that the price of a tank landing ship used by the US military in the 1940s was generally between 100 and 200 points, which was much cheaper than battleships and the like!
However, the tonnage of a tank landing ship is not large, and the general tonnage is about 2,000 tons. The largest does not exceed 4,000 tons. It can carry 300-500 tons of weight and can transport 200,500 soldiers and -10 tanks at a time, which is basically equivalent to the establishment of an infantry battalion plus an armored company!
Mainz took a look and found that the price of a 2,000-ton landing ship was 100 points, and the price of a 400-ton landing ship was 200 points.
Considering that the Third Reich may have a war with the Eagle Sauce in North America in the future, if you want to expedition to North America, it is best to have a landing ship with a larger tonnage and a stronger carrying capacity.
So Mainz chose a 4,000-ton tank landing ship with 200 points!
This type of tank landing ship can transport 500 people and their weapons and equipment to shore at one time, and 40 landing ships can carry a full-strength division!
Thinking of this, Mainz spent 8,000 points and bought 40 tank landing ships first.
After buying the tank landing ship, Mainz’s eyes were attracted by the larger dock landing ship with enhanced carrying capacity!
The dock landing ship has a huge dock, and its tonnage is far greater than that of the tank landing ship. Their tonnage can generally reach 10,000-20,000 tons, and can even reach 30,000 tons!
The huge tonnage provides them with an extremely open internal space, allowing them to transport more weapons and equipment!
Mainz took a look and found that the total tonnage of this dock landing ship that can be sold in the system mall is 28,000 tons. The carrying capacity is very good. It can carry 5,000 tons of supplies at a time, including 50 tanks and armored vehicles, 36 cannons and 2,000 fully armed soldiers!
This large dock landing ship, with its powerful transportation capacity, can fully serve as a transit station for the landing force. A large amount of supplies can be placed in the dock landing ship. After the tank landing ship successfully lands on the beach, the weapons and equipment and soldiers in the dock landing ship will be quickly transported ashore to further consolidate the beachhead and increase the strength of the German troops on the beachhead!
And the most important thing is that this dock landing ship can also take off and land helicopters, and it is also equipped with early models of air cushion landing craft.
This surprised Mainz very much!
The reason why amphibious assault ships in later generations are welcomed by mainstream countries in the world is that amphibious assault ships have extremely strong attack capabilities. The helicopters carried on amphibious assault ships can launch a fierce attack on the enemy’s beachhead, thereby severely damaging the enemy’s defenders, reducing the offensive pressure of their own troops, and helping them gain a foothold on the beachhead!
However, there is no sign of armed helicopters in this era. Although there are in the system, the price is relatively expensive, and another configuration of the amphibious assault ship, that is, the boat, is also indispensable. Therefore, if these two equipment are missing, the power of the amphibious landing ship will be greatly reduced.
However, Mainz did not expect that the purchase of a landing ship would actually come with four landing craft, which was beyond his expectations.
He took a look at the price. This dock landing ship, which was lighter than the Scharnhorst battleship, was not less expensive than the Scharnhorst at all.
The price of a 28,000-ton landing ship was 1,000 points. Even though Mainz was rich, he felt a little painful.
But this thing is indispensable. Historically, during the Normandy Landing, the Allies dispatched more than 4,000 landing ships, most of which were small landing craft. These small landing craft could not travel back and forth between the British mainland and the Normandy region, and the hundreds of dock landing ships were responsible for the transfer of materials!
Therefore, in the Battle of Normandy, the Allied dock landing ships were the key to their victory in this battle!
If there were no large number of dock landing ships to prepare a large amount of supplies in advance so that the landing craft could continuously transport them to the beachhead, even if the German army did not invest in counterattack forces, the extremely high casualties would cause the Allies to lose their combat capability due to excessive casualties, thus leading to the dilemma of being unable to tear open the German defense!
Once the troops landing on the beach cannot attack, the result is that hundreds of thousands of people are piled up on the crowded beach and become live targets of the enemy!
With the successful experience of the Allies, Mainz attaches great importance to dock landing ships.
Even though this thing is expensive, Mainz gritted his teeth and spent 15,000 points to buy 15 dock landing ships!
With these fifteen dock landing ships, the German army can send 30,000 troops ashore at one time. Together with the previous 40 tank landing ships, the German army’s first wave of offensive can send 1,200 tanks, 540 artillery pieces and 50,000 troops to the beachhead!
With these equipment and this number of troops, it is extremely difficult for the enemy to quickly eliminate the German troops on the beachhead!
These two types of landing ships cost Mainz 23,000 points at once, causing his points to shrink rapidly to only 11,500 points. Mainz quickly became a pauper!
“We are already poor, so why not be stingy and just spend all the money!”
Mainz gritted his teeth and equipped each dock landing ship with five helicopters, and reserved a part for the army. Each helicopter cost him 50 points, and the total cost of 100 helicopters was 5,000 points.
This time, he was really poor!
There were only 600 points left!
Mainz took a deep breath and did not continue his crazy shopping.
It is better to keep these more than 6,000 points, as there are still many things that need to be purchased now.
The rocket technology that may not be used at present, but will definitely be used in the future requires the purchase of drawings and production machinery. The empire’s nuclear plan uses centrifuges to purify uranium ore and nuclear power plants. Core accessories, etc., all cost money!
If these things rely on natural development, the progress will be very slow, so the best way is to directly purchase the corresponding equipment and technology from the system mall, so that they can avoid some detours and develop nuclear bombs and missiles that can be put into actual combat as soon as possible!
Once the German ballistic missiles and nuclear bombs are born, the Third Reich will be able to directly threaten the Eagle Sauce homeland across the ocean from its homeland!
