In the eyes of the British, Japan designed warships almost according to the ideas of German warships, and then imported steam turbines, artillery and fire control from the UK to build Fuso-class battleships. But in fact, in the eyes of Prince Ruprecht, or other people familiar with German warships, the Japanese did get some things from Argentina, but at most they only learned some superficial things, some core and key things still didn't learn...&1t;/p>

I really think the Germans don't know how to keep their secrets? Although the Argentines brought real money, the Germans would not sell all the secrets and design concepts of their warships, right? This is a battle. Battleships are the most important weapon of the country and the decisive force at sea. So it's so easy to tell them? I really think the Germans are stupid?&1t;/p>

For example, side armor. In fact, when building the Schänhorst-class battleship, the German warships had already adopted a structure of thin steel plates with inner layer of large thickness hardened armor plates. The outer layer of steel plates was used to peel off the caps of armor-piercing bombs and use the inner layer of hardened armor plates to smash the bullet body. This was not shown on the drawings given to Argentina, and the Japanese naturally did not know about it.&1t;/p>

How big is this gap? Let's put it this way, the 32omm tilted 18 degrees can almost be used in the battles in history, while the 6omm plus 26omm sidewalk defense can already face most of the situations in the two battles in history, and the gap is so big...&1t;/p>

Regarding mine defense, Japan has indeed learned multiple layers of defense, but it has not learned the full set. For example, on the Bavarian-class battleship, cement was added to the outermost empty warehouse to curb water inlet. At the same time, the bottom of the warship ammunition depot not only uses three layers of bottom. There is even a layer of armor with a thickness of 4omm. Although there was no magnetic fuse torpedo specifically knocking on the bottom of the ship in the first battle, it is necessary to be wary of mines... There is no clear idea of ​​where the mines touch, and there is no regulation that the mine can only blow the side side... At the same time, some water sealed compartment of the German warship also adopts the principle of communicating. When one side enters water, part of the water will flow along the pipe at the bottom of the ship to the other side to balance the posture of the battleship. None of these appears in the design drawing.&1t;/p>

In terms of horizontal defense, in fact, there is a large thickness of shipbuilding steel plate on the main horizontal armor. This part is used to peel off the armor-piercing bullets shot from the horizontal direction. This did not appear in the design drawings. Therefore, it is hard to say that the Japanese 3-inch horizontal armor can be used in a battle, because the three-inch armor division counts the thickness of the back plate, and the back plate is not a normal uniform steel armor for horizontal defense!&1t;/p>

As for weapons, it seems that the 1O 15-inch gun of the Fuso-class battleship is 25% more than the 8 15-inch guns in Bavaria. However, even if the projection is simply calculated, the Fuso-class has no advantage. The Japanese almost used the British guns and turrets, and completed a shooting cycle of about 40 seconds, while the fastest time in Bavaria is 23 seconds, even if it is average, the slowest time is 30 seconds! The fastest advantage of the German blast bolts and the perfect mechanized loading system is too obvious, which is why the prince finally accepted the design of the 8 15-inch guns in history. Because it is enough!&1t;/p>

In terms of projection, once it enters the effective shooting, the German warships will not suffer any losses. If it is to discuss the quality of the projection, the German fleet has a greater advantage. Not to mention that the Germans used a 9-meter rangefinder with better ranging effect, the new fire control computer can better describe the navigation of both sides. Simply speaking, armor-piercing bombs... Whether in history or in this plane, there is no problem with the Allies' armor-piercing bomb technology in the world? Before the British green popped up, who competed with them?!&1t;/p>

What's more, the Germans used hard quilt caps and heavy bullets, and have longer bullets, long-distance storage, and their penetration depth is even more amazing than the German armor-piercing bombs in history, which means they are not lucky. Otherwise, there would be hope for 35omm heavy artillery to hit the queen. With such powerful weapons, the prince believed that it was unscientific that the British only sank 6 ships in the Battle of Thunder-Surbruce. It was estimated that God was on the side of the British at that time...&1t;/p>

What about the Japanese? The prince is not sure what armor-piercing bombs are used, but if you don’t even have green bombs now, you don’t have much hope of penetrating depth. So, to sum up, the level of the Fuso-class battleship is of the same name ship of a long history, and it is much better than the British queen, but compared with Germany’s top Bavarian-class fast battleship, it is still a bit worse.&1t;/p>

Of course, Jericho and others don't understand these things, and professionals like Incourt won't understand them. After all, the drawings obtained by the Japanese are just some incomplete versions, and the intelligence is not collected well. How can we talk about objective, fairness and correctness? In the eyes of the British, the Fuso-class battleships of the Japanese fleet can not only make up for the shortage of the fast battle fleet, but also restrain the existence of Bavarian-class battleships. Therefore, Fisher and Churchill now hope that the Japanese Navy can play a more important and more proactive role in this war!&1t;/p>

It is a very good idea to let the Japanese joint fleet share the pressure. With the Japanese fleet, let alone kill Su Xiong who is wandering in the Indian Ocean? It is okay to curb them. After entering the Mediterranean, it is possible to drive the Allied Mediterranean fleet into the Dadaniel Strait. Even coming to the North Sea and suppressing the German fleet together can achieve certain results. Of course, it is just like this. If you want to realize this plan, there are still many problems to do, such as how to convince the Japanese navy to participate in the war is a big problem.&1t;/p>

Of course, this issue is not convinced by Churchill. After all, Churchill doesn't care about diplomacy. The issue that Churchill needs to consider now is how to persuade Herbert Henry Asquis during his meeting with him tonight, so that he can reach an agreement with the Japanese as soon as possible to relieve the pressure on the Royal Navy.&1t;/p>

"Sir Fisher, General Jericho, tonight we will discuss the issues with each other about our allies. This time it is not a matter of the Navy. I hope everyone can cooperate." At the end of the meeting, Churchill said to the two of them that they are all working in the Navy. They look up and see each other. If there are any conflicts, they can discuss them, but don't make any trouble when facing the court!&1t;/p>

"Okay, I will cooperate with you all." Jericho nodded and said. Fisher, who was standing beside him, also nodded silently. Maybe a scapegoat would appear among the three of them, but at least now, we have to work together!&1t;/p>
Chapter completed!
