"We seem to have not done enough in terms of radio communication and reconnaissance. I think the navy has not yet established a complete radio communication system that cooperates with sea and land based on each other, right?" After saying that, His Highness the Prince looked at Lieutenant General Liao Le.

"We are starting to build it. We expect that all warships will be equipped with corresponding radio equipment before the end of next year, but this equipment is very unstable and the effective distance is very close..." Liao Le now feels like he is in a gun.

"Creating radio communication contacts is not just about building a set of equipment, training some personnel. This is a system. I must remind everyone that this is a system! It not only requires hardware, but also software. In order to ensure the top secret of naval communications, I would like to ask, what plans has the Navy made for the design of radio secrets? How long does the navy's cryptobook be updated? If a warship sinks or is captured, how can I avoid the cryptobook falling into the hands of the enemy? Have you ever thought about it?"

Speaking of this, His Highness the Prince wanted to be speechless about the radio communication and confidentiality in German history. If it was an accident that the Russians accidentally discovered the German navy's password book on a shipwreck, then the code that the German navy had not changed was a mortal act. It was taken from the beginning of the war. Then the British relied on this password book to know the actions of the German navy, which was almost like playing the Warcraft to open the picture!

The Germans suffered a loss in the Battle of Sands, and encountered the British fleet in the Battle of Jutland. Such an obvious thing could not attract the attention of the top leaders of the German Navy. His Highness was speechless! The British intelligence agencies were even more familiar with the movements of the German Navy than the German Navy. This is a fucking thing!

Of course, it must be admitted that the Germans' intelligence talent in World War 1 was indeed too bad. According to the prince's memory, it seems that in World War 1, the German radio password would be deciphered by the Allies after using it for a week... It is obvious that the codebook cannot be replaced once a week. Although the German Eniger cipher machine was very popular during the war, with the help of mathematicians and the "bomb" deciphering machine, the Allies' deciphering of German general telegrams in the late war could be compressed to several hours... Faced with this situation, His Royal Highness the Prince can only say that it is not that Germany is not strong, but that the other party is too strong!

Since the time traveler has come and has come to this point today, the intelligence tragedy in the history of the German Navy must not be repeated. "As a member of the Imperial Army, I have to say that there are too many problems in the intelligence confidentiality work of the Imperial Army. Take passwords as an example. It is nothing more than the repeated superposition of various simple codes. After the other party intercepts the telegram, it is easy to judge the correspondence of the ciphertext in the intelligence based on our actions. Our password is too slow to update. You always think that your intelligence system is foolproof. In fact, I want to say that this idea is completely wrong." Ruprecht continued to be this evil man.

"When radio and telegrams are more likely to be intercepted and confidentiality cannot meet the needs, this is a huge hidden danger for the Imperial Navy and the Army. At least I personally do not trust the Imperial confidentiality system. In the Bavarian Army, we have begun to explore the use of a brand new password communication device. I have talked about this device with the Chief of Staff of the Army. At least he and his subordinates have no choice but to learn from this system. I think the Navy colleagues can learn from it."

The Prince has no good idea about intelligence and passwords. After all, he is not doing this, and he only knows some knowledge of the Eniger cipher machine. However, this thing is enough in one battle. Anyway, there is no "bomb" decipher machine in one battle, and the so-called commercial version of this thing will not appear. If it is seen less, it will be even less likely to be deciphered. After all, the Eniger cipher machine in history was cracked because the Allies obtained multiple physical objects.

"It makes sense. Regarding the password and intelligence, the Admiralty needs to communicate more with Prince Ruprecht." Crown Prince William also knew about some things. After all, if there was no royal acquiescence, Ruprecht would not have been able to establish a relationship with the General Staff of the Empire. In terms of radio communication and intelligence, the two were already angry, and they were almost looking for a suitable opportunity to speak out. His Highness believed that this opportunity today was very good.

"The second is the most critical issue I want to talk about today, that is, the construction of the German Navy's main ships in the future. Everyone started out with cruisers until my design bureau started out. Many people in the Navy said that I am a cruiser, but now, I need to reiterate that I just choose the best one, and not limited to a certain type of ship."

"In fact, to a certain extent, it is not an exaggeration to call Asama-class cruisers we built for Japan a second-class battleship. A brand new type of ship has begun to break the inherent naval classification. The boundary between battleships and cruisers will be further blurred with the development of technology. A type of artillery with battleship-level speed, cruiser speed, and certain armor protection will gradually become one of the main battleships of the navy. Of course, the four newly started battleships have already possessed this feature, and their speed is not slow, so what I want to say is, it is not enough!"

"The cruiser gave up heavy armor and large-caliber artillery and obtained a speed of up to 23 knots. When the tonnage limit is certain, strengthening one aspect will inevitably weaken the other aspect. The battleship you imagined will have an advantage when facing the cruiser, but it still cannot deal with the battleship. Unless your battleship tonnage is larger than the opponent." Tirpitz said.

As a worshiper of fundamental battleships, Tirpitz's feelings for battleships are quite deep, although the firepower of most battleships in the Second German Empire is a bit inferior to the tonnage...

"New technology, new technology! As the top leaders of the navy, aren't they even a little bit of acumen? I'm very worried about letting a group of civil servants and bureaucrats plan the future equipment of the German Navy! The British have begun to use a brand new host to power warships, and the Brom-Foss Shipyard has begun to use a boiler mixed with coal and heavy oil. Haven't you discovered anything in it?" His Royal Highness looked heartbroken.

"If I were William II, I think I should set up a Naval Equipment Department, independent of the other three departments of the Navy." Ruprecht said in his heart.
