628 Naval Strategy 2

The planes were bad during the First World War, and the take-off and landing of the plane was also easy. For example, the British had a board on the Queen's turret and threw it on an airplane. Some did not use a special crane when recycling, but directly used the main gun barrel as a boom to recycle the plane. What should I do if the plane was skinned? Just take some silk and attach it. It is very simple and the technical threshold is very low. Of course, if you are in the North Sea environment, you still need a hangar to maintain the plane, but the area does not need to be too large. After all, the planes were generally very small at that time...

"The fleet responsible for the attack does not need to be too large in size. It only needs one main battleship, and there are no need to be too many opponents hunted each time. This is a long-term process." It is certain that the British fleet will never wander on the North Sea blockade line without any trouble. Considering the length of the North Sea blockade line and the sea conditions, after stealing a blockade ship, after turning around and leaving, the British may not get any news at all. And for the sake of a vague and unsure whether it was a warship or a submarine, it is probably not realistic to send a large fleet.

And so what if they are sent? As long as the German battle cruiser leaves in advance, there is no way. After all, the speed of the battleship is too slow. Although the battleship cruisers are faster, they need to find a main ship in the entire North Sea. This is also very difficult. Moreover, when they are close to Germany, they can also get the support of the German main fleet. If Betty wants to come and try it, it is OK! Don’t leave when you come!

The only thing to worry about is that the large British Royal Navy fleet is approaching cruises from time to time. When the huge British fleet approaches the German coast, the German fleet should stay in the port honestly. Of course, this kind of patrol is more about going around and leaving. The large fleet cannot be blocked at the door all the time. Not to mention anything else, simply fuel consumption is a huge burden, and the submarines and mine formations in the coastal areas are also a great threat.

"Is the German fleet's combat mission in the North Sea just to break and knock? Then gradually accumulate advantages and launch a fatal blow?" General Feng Boer asked.

"If conditions permit, we will engage in large-scale wars with the British fleet, but before that, we need to take a key step, which is to weaken or even severely damage the British battlecruiser formations and possible future rapid battleship formations." Rupresit said.

From the perspective of World War I environment, the value of the fast warship is obviously much more valuable than that of fundamentalist battleships. For the German Navy, it would be nice to be able to severely damage Betty. If the large fleet encounters it, it is better to flash people as soon as possible. The battles need to be arranged by themselves, and always beware of the queens who may come out and the large fleet not far behind. For this goal, the prince has no specific plans now. On the one hand, it is because of the difficulty, and on the other hand, it is too much of a relationship. For Germany, a little mistake in the battle at the main fleet level may be fatal. Even with Scher's fierceness, wouldn't he be scared after Jutland?

"At the beginning of the war, the fast fleet was concentrated in the area west of the Kiel Canal, while the slow battleships and old-fashioned warships were concentrated in the Baltic Sea. The imperial fleet must ensure control of the Baltic Sea as much as possible. We need to attack Russia and mine-burn, and consume the Russian fleet through minefields and submarines as much as possible, and at the same time attack the Russian maritime transportation lines. Of course, we must also strengthen anti-submarine and mine-sweeping work."

"The situation in the Baltic Sea is different from that in the North Sea. Large-scale fleet wars rarely occur, and more are wars between light warships, submarines and minesweepers. During the period after the war began, as long as the Russian navy can be continuously squeezed, I don't have too high requirements, but at the right time, we may launch an attack on the Baltic coast, and the Baltic squadron must make relevant preparations!"

"Finally, the most important thing is the submarine warfare. I personally arrested the construction of this area. The German Emperor has agreed to increase the total number of submarines of the German Navy to 50 by 1907! Among them, the number of submarines that can enter the Atlantic Ocean should reach 30. I hope that General Liaole can further organize the submarine fleet and give certain policy preferences in personnel treatment. After all, their work is the hardest and requires a certain amount of technicality. Of course, the most important thing is that they will become the backbone of our combating British maritime transportation!"

"The construction of submarine forces must be carried out at the same level as the construction of the main fleet, and various supporting ships and shore facilities must also be established. I hope the Navy Department can set up a special working group to be responsible for the promotion of this project." In order to better build a submarine fleet, the prince needs to establish a long-term mechanism, just as if Tirpitz wanted to build a large fleet, he had to pass the Navy Act to solve the funding problem.

The prince could not have been watching the progress of submarine construction in Germany, so he needed the cooperation of the Admiralty Department, and he only issued orders and checked the phased success. He also issued instructions on the work group's work. "The ocean-going training of the submarine force should be institutionalized and should not start later than the end of this year. Next year, I hope that all ocean-going submarines can go around the Atlantic Ocean."

"In addition to fleet construction and port construction, I hope the navy can pay more attention to the aviation industry. Although we already have the most advanced airships in the world, the scarcity of airships makes our aerial reconnaissance and defense networks not perfect. I hope the navy can consider purchasing some aircraft for related tactical research." The prince was also a little guilty when he said this. To some extent, this thing is a fake public and private place, because the whole of Germany currently has some tricks in aviation, that is, Bavaria. The little Moltke has made the aviation department still wandering on ******* and balloons.

After this meeting, the prince naturally could not focus on the people in the Navy to carry out his work. After leaving relevant personnel to communicate and coordinate, the prince decisively returned to Bavaria. The navy can manage and calculate more, and the Bavarian Legion and Air Force are the most worthy of relying on in the prince! Whether you plan to win the Eastern Front or for the future, a strong legion is essential. Just before the prince returns, the Bavarian aviation department finally heard new news that the two new aircraft have been tested for 150 hours and can already transition to a trial production model.
