Chapter 579 The Beginning of a New Era

It is difficult to increase the cost of the fleet. It is just a little money, and it requires no quality, no quality. Judging from the performance and tactical use of warships, His Highness's works are definitely much better than Tirpitz's. Perhaps according to Tirpitz's fleet construction plan, the German Navy can indeed have a few more dreadnoughts, but the problem is that these warships are too slow or the gun caliber is too small, and the damage to the opponent is limited. Whether they can reach the battlefield is a problem. Whether they can effectively kill opponents after rushing to the battlefield is another problem. Such fast warships are not as large as those of opponents and the overall scale is incomparable, neither Admiral Boer nor Admiral Lehle will choose to support Tirpitz.

Tirpitz obviously also knew the bottom line in 1912. From the current perspective, the British were not clear about the general acceleration of German warships, and the German Navy did a good job of keeping the secret this time. They modified all the relevant data. Except for a very few people, most people, including designers, did not know it. They did not expect that their warships had such a powerful power system and could run so fast...

In fact, in the first battle, the actual output power of the warship is generally higher than the rated power. In theory, the speed of 25 knots is actually quite common. For example, in history, the speed of battle cruisers is generally about 2 knots higher than expected. This is the 2 knots of the high-speed section, which requires great power support.

Of course, you have to ask if there are any actual speeds lower than the theoretical speed. Of course there are. For example, in history, the speed of Queen Elizabeth-class battleships should theoretically reach 25 knots, but in fact, no warship meets the standards. The poor ship design and overweight hull make all this a silly. Because the Elizabeth-class fast battleship is overweight, it can only run at a speed of nearly 24 knots at a speed of 71 to 76,000 horsepower. When Nagamon is a lap bigger than the Queen, it can run at a speed of 26.7 knots with an output of 95,000 horsepower, which is nearly 3 knots faster...

"Actually, you won, dear His Highness Ruprecht****. In fact, you won from the beginning. I knew the result before the meeting began. The two generals and I will build the German Empire navy under your leadership. I hope your performance will not let the German Empire down, let His Majesty the Emperor down, let us down. From now on, you will never encounter human resistance from the Admiralty again." After a long time, Tirpitz admitted defeat and said the above words. You can't say it, it really makes someone confused.

"I really didn't expect the final result to be like this. I originally planned to spend three days trying to convince Tirpitz, let him accept my suggestion, and then spend two days trying to convince the German Emperor, hoping that he could delegate more rights. But the result surprised me very much. The three days were shortened to 2 hours. Tirpitz, who had always given me the impression of stubbornness, actually gave up on his risk fleet, gave up his persistence, and chose to believe me."

"It is hard for me to explain my feelings at that time. I saw loneliness and decadence in his eyes, but at the same time I also felt relieved and hope. My feelings at that time were very complicated." His Highness **** wrote in his diary. There is no doubt that Tirpitz loved the Imperial Navy. Otherwise, he would not have sent his sons to the Shanghai Army, and he was in the extremely risky light cruiser fleet. Compared with the general capital ships that were not dispatched and the offices with almost no risks, the light cruiser fleet was obviously a high-risk position.

In fact, shortly after the war started, in the Battle of Helgoland Bay in 1914, Captain Woolf Tirpitz, the son of Tirpitz, served on the Mainz light cruiser. When Goodinav's British fleet said that the warship was almost destroyed, the young officer transferred the remaining personnel on the warship to the lifeboat. When the British tried to persuade him to leave, the Navy Minister's son politely refused and eventually returned to the riddled warship and sank with the ship.

Although Woolf Tirpitz's approach is questionable, the loyalty and love of the Imperial Navy of the Tirpitz and his sons are unquestionable. They regard it as a cause and devote all their efforts. Not to mention the strategy of the Navy minister, at least they cannot say it in terms of attitude.

His Highness **** still respects this personality, and His Highness **** can only describe Tirpitz's ability to make money and inspire. If Tirpitz is willing to hand over all the rights and cooperate with him, His Highness **** will still cooperate well with this minister.

After Tirpitz made a statement, General Von Boer and General Liaole also expressed their support for ****. Although **** does not have a certain official position now, due to the particularity of the German government, the German Emperor will always decide the final decision. For ****, as long as they can get the trust of the German Emperor, it is enough. Just like Tirpitz in history, although he is only one of the three giants, because of the German Emperor's trust, his actual rights are obviously higher than those of the other two. However, this plane was replaced by Ruprecht.

Invisibly, a new era began, an era dominated by His Highness Ruprecht, Bavaria, began. After more than ten years of hard work, this time traveler finally won the recognition of the German Emperor with his abilities and skills, clearing out various internal obstacles, and an era that belonged to him had just begun!

"In an office of the German Admiralty, the old high seas fleet, headed by Naval Secretary of State Tirpitz, has stepped down from the stage of history. Although they are still very active in the political arena and the Admiralty building, the right to decide and plan has gradually been transferred to the hands of a behind-the-scenes operator, Ruprecht. This man, known as the top member of the royal family of Europe in Europe, began his plan and caused a great blow to the British Empire in War 1. This **** from a remote German area used a war to defeat one empire and severely damaged another, and a brand new global empire was born!" After the war, Churchill wrote in his memoirs.

Of course, these are all funerals. Although the situation took a sharp turn, the prince was also prepared. Since Tirpitz gave up today and even completed the transfer of rights in secret, the prince could carry out the next problem, that is, the construction of German naval light warships and future strategies and tactics. The prince needed to build the German light cruiser formation into a rapid and deadly maritime light cavalry, integrating reconnaissance, fighting against the opponent's light cruiser, breaking ocean blockades, breaking the intercourse and other tasks! To a certain extent, the future light cruiser formation may perform more tasks than the large main battleships!
