Germany - The Blücher Class Heavy Cruiser - 17 Jun to 05 Jul 1940

17 Jun 1940: All these Traits arrived at the same time which shows the technical prowess of our war machine. Junkers receives the Trait Reinforced Wings....
....while MAN received the Trait Power Traverse.
Germaniawerft receives Internal Armour Belt....
....and Blohm & Voss receives Long Range Engagement Ethos.
Finally Focke Wulf receives the Trait Armoured Cockpit....
....and Heinkel Refined Engines.
18 Jun 1940: The Abwehr is upgraded with Radio Interception Group (II)....
....and I select Government Cypher School (I) next.
19 Jun 1940: The Bulgarians are making too much noise.
27 Jun 1940: Mussolini still hasn't got the message. The answer is no.
02 Jul 1940: The trained 1. Panzer-Division is returned to Panzerarmee Guderian....
....and its 4. Panzer-Division is converted to the new format....
....then sent to the Armeeschule for further training.
The trained 296. and 298. Infanterie-Divisionen are assigned to Armee Nord.
04 Jul 1940: The newly-deployed 132. Infanterie-Division is placed in training.
05 Jul 1940: Research has been completed on Mountain Infantry II....
....and I select Improved Infantry Equipment II from Mauser next.
My current Research projects. Nothing new will arrive for months.
I create the Blücher Class Heavy Cruiser. It has 4 x Heavy Medium Turrets, All-or-Nothing Armour, 2 x Anti-Air Batteries, a Secondary Battery, Sonar and Fire Control. The Engine III ensures a high speed of almost 30 knots.
I put it into production with the maximum of 5 Dockyards assigned. Four ships of this class are planned.
I've rearranged the Construction queue to construct Dockyards earlier.
I also need the Military Factories for more Aircraft production.
