Chapter 2792 kind reminder
"Thank you very much for this breakfast. If you have something to say, then you can start now." After eating the last slice of sausage on your plate, Raidel wiped the corner of his mouth with a napkin.
"What do you think of this battle?" Major General Logan also put down his knife and fork and held back the others.
"Does this battle affect or other aspects? Your words are a bit broad," said Redell.
"I don't want to discuss the future situation and direction. This is not my field of research. I am a soldier, a pure soldier. I only care about how to win the war." Major General Logan said.
"So, the most important thing you ask me today is to tell me that the future war situation has changed. Maybe when the next war breaks out, the battleship will be swept into the garbage dump of history. Is that true?" Redell said with a calm expression.
Major General Logan was silent. He really had this idea, but it was not convenient to say it directly. In his opinion, Redell was the commander of a battleship. Whether from his personal feelings or experience, Major General Logan thought Redell should have some resistance to the aircraft carrier.
But some of the things he wanted to do today could not bypass Radell. The reason is very simple. Radell is a lieutenant general and the highest commander of the German side of this battle. Any battle report must be signed by Radell to take effect. Although Logan was born in Bavaria, he was still a little far from the highest level. It would be difficult to write a letter to Crown Prince Ruprecht directly, and even if he succeeded, it would have an extremely negative impact. After all, this kind of over-level report will definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of his boss, especially Lieutenant General Redell in front of him. So unless it is absolutely necessary, Logan does not want to offend Radell, because there is Su Xiong behind Radell! You can even count Earl Spee!
"If it was at an internal meeting of the Navy, I would not express my clear agreement with your point of view. Because there are still many problems with aircraft carriers now. And I must also consider some political issues. This thorough and comprehensive reform requires an opportunity and a comprehensive promotion from the superiors, but obviously, it is not suitable now." Redel's words made Logan feel cold.
"But from a technical point of view, I think the era of aircraft carriers dominating the ocean will inevitably come, and the role of battleships will be reduced, from the pillar of the sea decisive battle to the aircraft carrier's escort warship, the main force of night battles and the main force of land attacks." Redel said with a smile.
"I admire your vision, and your mind makes me ashamed." Logan said excitedly.
"Okay, you will be able to catch the aviation war and the overall overview of this battle report. I'm just adding that this is not a problem. Now, while we still have time, let's discuss other things, such as in-depth discussions on naval and aviation issues?" Raidel said.
"I didn't expect you to have research on naval aviation?" Logan asked.
"There are a few, and I am different from you. Your main research direction is the carrier-based aircraft force, and I also have some research on the impact of the land-based aviation team on naval warfare. By the way, among the top naval leaders, the person who is most interested in land-based aviation is Earl Spey. If you have time after you go back, you can communicate with him." Raidel said meaningfully.
It is obvious that Redell is telling Logan who would be more convenient to talk to in the future, which is also a point of mention. As for why Earl Spee was very interested in land-based aviation? The reason is very simple. When he was in the Mediterranean, his fleet was bombed by British land-based bombers!
"So do you have anything else to remind you?" Logan asked sincerely. After realizing that Redell's attitude towards the aircraft carrier was at least friendly, Logan still wanted to listen to the opinions of this naval senior.
"First of all, don't mention the advantages and comparisons of aircraft carriers over battleships in your report. This behavior will make the battleship faction in the system dissatisfied and disgusted by the battleship faction in the system. The Navy is a military that attaches importance to inheritance and tradition. You must pay attention to this point. Secondly, you should talk more about the current issues of the fleet in air defense and the aircraft carrier itself. The former is an unignorable content. Even the most determined warship faction must recognize this reality. The discussion on the aircraft carrier itself is more of a technical discussion, such as how we can build aircraft carriers more and how to carry more and larger carrier-based aircraft. The Air Force has prepared a new aircraft tender plan. I think the Navy is also getting faster. We actually have a lot to talk about about the issue of new aircraft models." Raidel said.
Redell's position within the navy is not only because of his past military achievements, but also has benefited him a lot from good interpersonal relationships and experience in dealing with people. Redell will reduce resistance as much as possible when doing anything and will never cause unnecessary trouble.
Redell told Logan this time that he only had to talk about technical issues. Don’t always think about letting aircraft carriers replace battleships now. If you do this, it will definitely lead to a strong backlash from the naval fleet. After all, the high seas fleet now has more than one dozen battleships, with thousands of officers and more than 20,000 personnel. You want the battleship troops to give up their main position. What should you do if you let those people? Even if Scher, Hippel and other big guys agree with your point of view, they have to choose to stand on the side of the fleet in peacetime! If you want to ask when this problem can be completely solved, then it can only be said that when the older generation retires, the pressure will be reduced!
Compared with the very distant issues of future naval strategy and tactics, Redell pays more attention to how to build a better future aircraft carrier! And better equipped aircraft! This is the key! When the number of aircraft carriers increases, the performance increases, and the proportion of officers and soldiers in the front-line personnel of the high seas fleet increases, many things will come naturally. Then we can talk about it. Whether it is Redell or Logan, they can afford it!
"Okay, I've said everything you should pay attention to. After leaving this door, I won't admit anything I said before. Think about it carefully. Now let's discuss a new question, how to make the aircraft carrier of the Imperial Navy better complete its mission." Redell said. "So good, General Logan, as a professional aircraft carrier commander, tell me what you think!"
