1135 Bargaining 1
"It seems that this exercise is quite interesting." After listening to Prince Heinrich's report, the German Emperor said with interest. The German Emperor was relatively relaxed at this time. After all, winter is approaching, and both sides have no plans to launch a large-scale 6-up attack in a short period of time. Therefore, the German Emperor was still interested in some more interesting things.&1t;/p>
"Ruprecht seemed a little anxious, and he felt that he was a little impulsive and unwise this time." Prince Heinrich said.&1t;/p>
"No, he smelled the scent of conspiracy and wanted to use an airplane to throw bombs to attack a moving ship that was only 60 meters long. This is not very difficult, and even if you use a long-range attack, the accuracy will not be very high. The target is too small." As a naval enthusiast, the German Emperor is still very familiar with some common sense things. For example, the relationship between the size of the target and the hit rate. Fast and small targets are even more difficult to hit. In the Battle of Jutland, Gudno's light cruiser turned in front of the German fleet but was not hit by a single shot, and the French fleet attacked the Austro-Hungarian light cruiser for half an hour can explain this problem.&1t;/p>
The reason why light cruisers die quickly is because they are not strong and the amount of ammunition they attack is too large. If you really tell the fortune rate, it will definitely be a very low number.&1t;/p>
"You mean...no wonder, this target ship was not chosen by Ruprecht, and some people within the Navy were trying to make things difficult for them." Prince Heinrich also suddenly realized this.&1t;/p>
"This is normal. Ruprecht commanded the navy and relied on the support of senior generals of the fleet, and his record of winning repeatedly. However, it is not necessarily true that there are many connections. The personnel power is still in the hands of Tirpitz and General Lorle. They are actually somewhat dissatisfied with the prince's intervention in the navy. It is normal to do some tricks and tricks when encountering something they do not want to accept." William II, who is well versed in politics, said disapprovingly.&1t;/p>
"What about your attitude?" asked Prince Heinrich.&1t;/p>
"If no one provokes this matter, then ignore it. Sometimes we need to fight within the navy, but let it go at this time." said the German Emperor.&1t;/p>
"Then how do you respond to the prince's invitation to participate in the second air-to-sea exercise?"&1t;/p>
"It's very simple, then go. I also want to see how far the air force has developed. To be honest, I am becoming more and more interested in aircraft now." said the German Emperor. On the current Western Front battlefield, when hundreds of thousands of troops on both sides are fighting on the ground, if there are no thousands of aircraft shuttles and bombings in the air, it is simply impossible to call a war! In fact, in the late stage of War 1 in history, the strategic role of the air force has been revealed, and in this plane, because of the prince's butterfly effect, the air force on both sides is much stronger than in history, and the role of the air force in the war is getting bigger and bigger, and this will inevitably attract the attention of the German Emperor.&1t;/p>
"So what do you think of the results of the second exercise?" the prince continued to ask.&1t;/p>
"At least it must be better than the first game." The German Emperor smiled. "Ruprecht is a pragmatic person. He will not decide to use a certain weapon simply based on his own preferences. But at the same time, he is not an honest person, and he will also use some means."&1t;/p>
"So when are you going to leave?"&1t;/p>
"In a week, give them some preparation time." said the German Emperor.&1t;/p>
At this time, just as the German Emperor was finalizing his preparation to go to Wilhelmshaven in person to see what the air attack on the sea was, the German Admiralty also slapped the exercise into a group.&1t;/p>
"Your Highness, since we are going to be close to practical exercises, we must look at it from a practical perspective. It is not appropriate for you to limit the target ship's target to a 2O quarter. After all, no one stipulates that the main ship can only run 2O quarters, right? In this case, you might as well shoot a fixed target." General Feng Boer said.&1t;/p>
"It is precisely because it is close to actual combat that I limited the power and degree of the warship. We are fighting the British fleet. In the few times we encountered the large fleet, which one could pass 20 knots?! Please, our opponent is the British, and our torpedoes and bombs are enough to be placed on the British's heads. It is not necessary to face our high battleship!" the prince sneered.&1t;/p>
High moving targets are difficult to fight, and everyone knows this. Even using naval guns, it is definitely not a difficult time to attack targets of 18 and 26. The prince is not sure what the result will be for modern bombers and torpedoes to attack a Bavarian-class battleship that has sped 26 knots at sea. The prince is not sure, but he is sure that the British fleet cannot run out of this level. Since we are aiming at the British, why do we have to exaggerate the level of our opponents? It is obviously unscientific to use the Bavarian-class fast battleship to calibrate the British fleet with the rush of the Bavarian-class fast battleship to calibrate the British fleet!&1t;/p>
"We can simulate the British Queen Elizabeth-class battleship." Admiral Boer was stunned for a moment and thought to himself that what tm said really makes sense. But he said this later without admitting defeat.&1t;/p>
"I need to determine two points. First, our target is the British slow battleship. Not the fast battleship. Second, if we only face the queen, our fast battleship is definitely enough. I never said that aircraft can replace battleships, and it is more about cooperating with battleships. For example, using torpedo to attack damaged warships, it is very difficult to use destroyers to blockade through the opponent's layers of blockades, and the final task was handed over to the aircraft, which is one of the important functions of aircraft carriers. Now, we are directly used to attack a target ship that is not injured, and simulating British battleships has raised the standard. Isn't it?" the prince asked back.&1t;/p>
Don't think of a single move to solve all problems. In fact, many weapons are designed for a certain situation or an enemy. Therefore, General Boer requires that the aircraft be able to face various maritime targets, which is a tough problem. The prince requires that the bomber can knock out injured warships and interfere with the opponent's battle line. Is there anything else? Let's talk about it later.&1t;/p>
Do you want to say what the prince said makes sense? Obviously, for example, in the battle that just ended with the British Fleet, at least two Revenge-class battleships suffered moderate damage and showed signs of reduction. However, due to the shock and cover of the Fleet, the German Fleet could not do anything about these two ships... They could only watch them escape with injuries and not die. The German Fleet was the most nuisance to the German Fleet. If the carrier-based function could meet this requirement, then there was definitely a need for construction.&1t;/p>
