As an old empire, as the only country in the world where the sun never sets, it is normal for Britain to be inferior to that of a rising power across the Atlantic Ocean. However, the British's heritage is still very terrible! The German fleet hit the British fleet twice in a row and really thought the British were helpless? The pattern of Tusen was broken!&1t;/p>

After the meeting, after most of the people had left the meeting room of the Admiralty, Churchill, Sir Fisher and Jericho went to an office next door to continue their meeting, and here they met Commander Hugh Montagu Trenchard, the commander of the Royal Flying Team!&1t;/p>

The current position of this lieutenant general is the commander of the Royal Expeditionary Force Flight Team. He is not domineering from his name, but in fact, this guy holds at least 4ooo aircraft, as well as more than 120,000 officers and soldiers in his hand! He is the most important pillar of the Allied air power! In history, this guy was also the first chief of staff after the founding of the Royal Air Force, the first air marshal in British history, and has the reputation of the father of the Royal Air Force!&1t;/p>

"Dear Lieutenant General Trenchard, I think you should know why I invited you here. A week ago, we made a request to you and your air force and provided information on this battle. I think, as the most respected and capable commander in the Air Force, you can provide enough advice for our actions. The Royal Navy is not only able to attack opponents at sea. When necessary, we will cross the air and blow the other's port into a sea of ​​fire." Churchill said in infectious words.&1t;/p>

"It's like that. I made some preparations, but it's not enough. Here, I need to verify some details with the fleet personnel at the end." Lieutenant General Trenchard said with some restraint. Although this guy was the first Air Marshal in his later generations, that was later. Faced with Sir Fisher and Admiral Jericho, his position in the air force was still lower. In fact, this guy still did not have the status of Jericho Gogh later. He was also a marshal and also served as the governor of New Zealand...&1t;/p>

"General Jericho, what kind of weapons do you recommend to attack German warships? From the present perspective, the various bombs we used in a hasty battle in the last battle were limited in power." Lieutenant General Trenchard asked.&1t;/p>

"It's best torpedo or heavy armor-piercing shells. If there is no suitable type of shell in the Air Force ammunition depot now, I think it can be modified with 12-inch, 13.5-inch naval shells, or even 15-inch shells." Jericho also had a draft, and he prepared this matter 2 weeks ago. So some ideas have been formed.&1t;/p>

"If you use torpedoes, there are some problems. First, we are not clear about the hydrological situation of Wilhelmshaven. We do not know the water depth of the dock. If we throw torpedoes from the air, it is very likely that they will sink to the bottom of the water before the fixed-depth system can react. Moreover, it is not clear whether the Germans deployed lightning protection nets around the berth of the warship." Lieutenant General Trenchard said.&1t;/p>

"There is no big problem with the lightning protection net, right? The new thermal torpedo has relatively high power, and there is also a cutting device on the lightning head, which can easily cut the opponent's lightning protection net." Jericho is indeed worthy of being the commander of the large fleet and is also very proficient in technical business. What he said is indeed the fact. In fact, during the first battle, the heavy torpedo was driven by the heat aircraft to kill the lightning protection net. Think about it, if a heavy torpedo weighing about 1.5 tons hits it at a distance of 3o to 4o knots, the kinetic energy is also very high!&1t;/p>

"That is a heavy torpedo for ships, but aerial torpedoes are not good. The first generation of aviation torpedoes we used weigh only more than 4 kilograms, which is less than one third of the torpedoes used for ships. This impact force is not much stronger than the compressed aerodynamic torpedoes decades ago. Nowadays, heavy lightning protection nets have a weight of more than 1 oo tons and have a very strong support. Light torpedoes are difficult to tear off the protection. If the torpedo weighs 8 oo kilograms, it may be fine, but it will definitely not be able to catch up with this operation." Lieutenant General Trenchard said.&1t;/p>

"This is just a problem with the torpedo itself and projection. If you consider the carrier aircraft, the trouble will be even greater. Even if we have torpedoes weighing 8ookg now, the carrier-based aircraft is an unavoidable problem. Such weight is too large for most aircraft, and our attack distance is a bit far. O-4oo will definitely not be able to perform this task. FB27 is a bit reluctant. The v15oo has such a bomb load, but think about it, a behemoth with a wing spread of 38 meters, flew over low altitude at a height of several dozen meters in complex terrain, and then threw the torpedo. This is too difficult. You are letting the elephant dance." Lieutenant General Trenchard tactfully rejected Jericho's suggestion.&1t;/p>

If it is offshore in the UK, Lieutenant General Trenchard can allow two aircraft to carry torpedoes for attack. The maximum load capacity of the O-4oo and FB27 is between 17oo pounds and 22oo pounds. This weight can already be about 8oo pounds, but don't think that an aircraft can still have the maximum range when it reaches its maximum load capacity. Please, according to the law of conservation of aircraft weight, when the aircraft's load capacity reaches its maximum, the fuel capacity will definitely be reduced a lot, so the range is definitely not enough.&1t;/p>

For example, b17 and b29, the maximum load capacity of the former is more than 7 tons, while b29 is said to be 10 tons, but the former weighs only over 30 tons, while the latter weighs 60 tons! What is the difference in weight? Don’t think that the guy who designed the b29 is stupid! The real measurement of the bomber output is actually the load capacity under a fixed range. When bombing targets with a distance, b17 may only be able to carry 2.5 tons of bombs. B29 can carry more than 6 tons! This is the real difference between the two sides.&1t;/p>

Therefore, if it is near the sea, Admiral Jericho's opinions can be implemented, but it takes hundreds of kilometers to Wilhelmshaven to throw torpedoes. In theory, v15oo can be done. Other aircraft should be washed and sleepy. In fact, in a port environment, with the operation of the first-mile aircraft, in a port with a tight defense, a large guy with a wing spread of 38 meters to a height of tens of meters to face the opponent's ground-air firepower and fighter jets... This is definitely a life-and-death death! Maybe you won't know if you've been killed before you throw the torpedo!&1t;/p>

"So, what you mean is that if we attack German warships in the port, then we can only use bombs?" Jericho said with a little disappointed. Although he was very unwilling to do so, he really couldn't refute the opinions of professionals. They were the main ones who specialized in how to bring the bombs over and then throw them down. In terms of professionalism, it would be useless to tie the other three people here together!&1t;/p>
