"I have only one condition now, that is, I want to build a maritime aviation force. One ship is far from enough, at least three ships!" said the prince.&1t;/p>

"Give me a sufficient reason!" William II said seriously. This is not a small investment. Modifying three ships like the Vettelsbach requires at least one battleship. This is not the cost of more than one battleship. This is not the above aircraft and personnel costs. In fact, the so-called cheap aircraft carriers in later generations are mainly due to two aspects. The first is that the tonnage is small, and there are many battleships with a standard platoon of more than 30,000 tons in the second battle, and some of them are 40,000 tons. But in addition to Shinono, there are 32,000 tons in the second battle? No! None! And the other is that the cost of the aircraft carrier is not calculated. The aircraft itself is not cheap, and the more terrible thing is that this thing is like a shell. Don't be too surprised that half of the aircraft will be lost after a battle.&1t;/p>

Even with the status and influence of the prince, if you want to build a pure-blooded aircraft carrier in peacetime, you have to pay for it out of your own pocket. After all, no one is interested in a "sea kite carrier" now! Anyway, there are seaplanes on the main ships, so why build such a large ship to carry aircraft specifically?&1t;/p>

And now, although the British v15oo is quite shocking, from the prince to the ordinary officers and soldiers, they are uneasy about the huge birds of prey hovering in the air, for fear that this guy will send two bombs while reconnaissance that day. However, because this was during the war, the German military wanted a mark to break it into two halves to spend it. At this time, the prince suddenly proposed such a large expenditure project, which is naturally not easy to pass.&1t;/p>

"To be honest, I think if we use this money to build the battleship flowers, two may come out!" Looking at the silent prince, the German Emperor continued.&1t;/p>

"However, the construction cycle of the two battleships is at least 2 and a half years, which is too long. If you use a selected cruise ship for transformation, it can be completed in at most one year. And I personally think that the high seas fleet is enough for battleships, and we build this kind of thing called an aircraft carrier to make up for the convenience that the battleship cannot do." The prince said.&1t;/p>

"But the large fleet needs to be destroyed with heavy artillery and torpedoes after all." The German Emperor said.&1t;/p>

"Aircraft on aircraft carriers may not be unable to use torpedoes, and we can use aircraft to project torpedoes away from naval guns! It is not impossible to deal with large warships!"&1t;/p>

"Of course, the most urgent problem we need to solve at the moment is the British's aviation reconnaissance! As long as the British's seaplanes and long-range 6-based aircraft can be solved and they become blind and deaf, we may not be able to use the fleet in our hands to fight the Thunder-Surbruce Battle!" The prince's words made William II raise his eyebrows slightly! It is obvious that the German Emperor was moved!&1t;/p>

Between the prince's brutal record, it is a bit too much to say that he is invincible, but it is definitely correct to say that he can make more or less profit every time he takes action. So now the German Emperor has formed a certain degree of blind obedience. If the prince says he can win, then it is 80% correct in the German Emperor's opinion. Of course, he also needs the prince to give a sufficient reason.&1t;/p>

"Reconnaissance! When you can limit the opponent's reconnaissance and allow yourself to notice the opponent without any slim view, you have already won half of it! The aviation reconnaissance is not very effective, and I feel that the key is that the density is not enough. The British have sent a large number of aircraft for reconnaissance in recent operations, so our actions are almost transparent to the opponent. The British fleet is large enough, with more seaplanes than us, and there are also large V15oo reconnaissance aircraft that we do not have. In this case, we can't take any tricks or sneak attacks."&1t;/p>

"If we simply develop seaplanes that depend on battleships like the British, then there is no future, because the British have more and better aircraft! Therefore, in order to reverse this situation, we can only change our thinking and build a warship specially used to carry aircraft to compete for air reconnaissance! Our ship can carry 72 aircraft! And it is a dedicated carrier-based aircraft, without the restrictions of buoys, the combat power is high enough, and the number is also large. In this way, we will inevitably effectively weaken the other party's reconnaissance capabilities and strengthen our reconnaissance capabilities! Just this, I think it is necessary to equip the aircraft carrier!"&1t;/p>

"With the development of aviation technology, the aircraft's carrying capacity is getting stronger and stronger. Our current aircraft can already carry a torpedo or more than 3ookg bombs for bombing. I think the brothers of the 6th Army on the Western Front have been attacked by British and French bombers. In this case, why can't we use it to fight against warships? Even if it is difficult to hit, but in the war, we can force some of the opponent's achievements to be evaded, then our goal is achieved!" said the prince.&1t;/p>

Is the aviation force effective at sea attack in 1? It is definitely not high! There has never been an example of effective attack battleships in history. In fact, before the dive bomber was launched, the aviation force's attack efficiency was not very high. The prince believed that if we follow the historical technology tree, it would be impossible for aircraft carriers to replace battleships in less than 30 years.&1t;/p>

And what about this plane? It is not difficult to carry torpedoes and bombs onto the ship. However, it is impossible to use a biplane to throw bombs and torpedoes to severely damage the British fleet. Just torpedoes in this era can be described as a stupid bird or a glider!&1t;/p>

Moreover, the performance of the airborne torpedo is not good, it is slow and has a short range. For example, taking the first type of aviation torpedo in the United States as an example, this torpedo weighs 47okg, and the warhead charge is 9okg. With a range of 35 knots, the maximum range is 2ooo code, which is 18oo meters. These 18oo meters are not effective range, but the power range is! In fact, if you want to hit, fly to within 6oo meters first and throw it! What's more, the charge of 9okg....&1t;/p>

This is really a low point. Although you are facing British battleships, the so-called bold thunder sinking incident also encountered a three-digit mine on the explosives in the warhead. Therefore, the power and release difficulty are somewhat worse.&1t;/p>

The training of pilots is also a problem. Not to mention throwing torpedoes, taking off and landing on an aircraft carrier is a very troublesome thing. In addition, the dispatch, maintenance and maintenance of aircraft on an aircraft carrier are very deadly matters. Therefore, it is a long way to go to form combat effectiveness.&1t;/p>
