In this way, it is fine to confirm the ship's type with the help of seaplanes and shore observation posts in the air. Although the accuracy of train guns may not be high at night, no one is willing to let their fleet be under the attack of the opponent's warships and shore guns at the same time, so they will lose half of the battle before the war begins!

As for you, there are seaplanes on German battleships, so send them out to find British railway guns? This is indeed feasible in theory, and there is indeed a fire to find onshore gun shooting. But the problem is that even if it is found, the British cannons can also use the terrain to cover their shore gun positions. You should know that generally, the elevation angle of fully deployed railway guns is higher than that of battleships, and the elevation angle of battleships in World War I is generally lower, so there may be situations where the railway guns can be used to attack the battleships, but the battleships cannot reach the shore guns. And even if they can, they can also use the terrain to avoid strikes, similar to the principle of mortars avoiding howitzers.

As for you, when you wait until the daytime, German bombers come to take revenge, this is another matter. Anyway, the shore artillery has completed its own mission, and the British warships have slipped back. The German interception failed. Once the British fail, the British are prepared, and the probability of success next time will be even lower.

These things require actual accumulation. After more experience, they naturally understand more. Just from this point of view, the German Navy is not a little stronger than the Americans. After a series of defeats, General Benson became honest and began to listen quietly to other people's discussions.

"Your Highness, from the current situation, it may be difficult for us to use the main ship to block the British fleet in the near sea, and there is no time left. After all, the British fleet should be evacuated near dawn, and after dawn, the British fleet can obtain cover from the British naval aviation. If the location is relatively north, our air force support will be relatively weak." Admiral Schell was also a little embarrassed. Anyway, as a commander of the naval battleship, he has no good way. Of course, if you want to say whether hard steel is OK, it is actually OK, but the risks and benefits are somewhat inconsistent...

"Your Highness, what are you thinking?" Ruprecht did not respond to General Scher's question. After waiting for two minutes, Scher couldn't help it, so he asked again.

"I have a solution, and the probability of success is very high, but I have been thinking about whether it is worth using some cards too early," said Ruprecht.

"You mean our aircraft carrier?" General Schell asked.

"That's right, aircraft carriers may not be able to do things that battleships and land-based aviation companies cannot do. As long as we use aircraft carriers, according to my plan, we have at least 70% chance of destroying the British!" Ruprecht said confidently.

"But aircraft carriers cannot solve a series of problems such as time, determination of intercepting targets." After hearing that Crown Prince Ruprecht was preparing to use the aircraft carrier, Benson, who had just been honest for less than two minutes, became energetic again. There was no way, this was what he was most concerned about. If it was a simple battleship against bombing, it was actually not that important. After all, the US Navy had also experienced a great war. Although it was the defeated side, the US Navy also had a remarkable performance in the Battle of the Philippines. And even if it was defeated, the British had accumulated some experience, not to mention that during the battle, the US Navy observed and participated in the battle.

As for the discussion just now, because it involves mine warfare, night warfare, comprehensive confrontation between fleets and shore artillery, this is not something the Americans have experienced. If we talk about this last time, it may be back to the Civil War period... Benson and others must learn these things.

And now? Ruprecht is ready to use the aircraft carrier. To be honest, although the aircraft carrier has come out, it has never participated in a large-scale actual combat. Who knows how to use it? What is the effect? ​​Who knows? This is groundbreaking, with a high historical status and an important experience that can be said to be something that has not been seen in previous naval battles. So, as soon as he heard this, Benson immediately became energetic.

"Can you talk about the specific tactics first?" General Schell said.

"Yes." Ruprechite nodded, walked to the sand table and picked up the putter and drew a circle in the coastal areas of France and Belgium. "The biggest problem with land-based aviation is that it is too late. The British fleet is about 35 kilometers per hour, and the bombers carrying a large number of bombs have a flight speed of only about 90 kilometers, and they can only operate on a large scale after dawn. Therefore, the British fleet has 2 to 3 hours of evacuation. This is more than 100 kilometers."

"Our carrier-based aircraft takes time to attack, tracking and attacking, and considering that we want to tie the range of more than 100 kilometers and search time, the opponent may have walked about 80 kilometers northward. At this time, they have entered the defense range of the British Navy aviation, and this distance is a bit far for aircraft carrying heavy torpedoes. The air stagnation time of the k6 bomber is very problematic, and the number of k8 bombers is limited. As for the cover of fighter jets, this is even more difficult."

"But if we use aircraft carriers, we can greatly shorten the time. The reason is very simple. We have a mobile airport! We can completely wait for the British fleet to come to the door in the predetermined waters, which greatly shortens the attack time and distance. Even before the British land-based aviation forces could react, our bombs had been thrown over the other party's heads. After all, even if Jericho dispatched the main battleship, it was only a team of four old-fashioned dreadnoughts. We have five aircraft carriers, and one attack would definitely be enough for this fleet." Crown Prince Ruprecht explained.

"Hiss..." Admiral Schell took a breath of air conditioning, thought carefully, and found that the Crown Prince's statement made sense. The maneuverability of the aircraft carrier is too obvious. Although the specific route of the British fleet cannot be determined, the general direction will not be wrong. After all, the British fleet will definitely not dare to go to the outside seas, and can only evacuate northward. The preset position of the aircraft carrier is easy to find. As long as one side goes to a suitable place to the north, the German main fleet is protected by the German fleet, the road where the British army is withdrawn can be blocked.

As for the threat of the Royal Navy Air Force? How do you say this? The Royal Navy Air Force is just a defensive force, not an offensive force. To be clear, there are still some British fighter jets now, but experienced bomber pilots should be almost dead.
