The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 628: Naval Strategy II



During the First World War, the plane was very bad, and the take-off and landing of the plane was very easy. For example, the British used a board on the queen’s turret and threw an airplane on it, and some did not use a special crane during recycling. Directly use the main gun barrel as a boom to recover the aircraft. What should I do if the aircraft skin is broken? Just take some silk and attach it directly. It's very simple. The technical threshold is very low. Of course, if you want to maintain the aircraft in the North Sea environment, you still need a hangar, but the area does not need to be too large. They are all small...

"The size of the fleet responsible for the attack does not need to be too large, just one capital ship is enough, and it doesn't take too many opponents to hunt each time. This is a long-term process." What is certain is that the British fleet will never be fine. Just swaying along the North Sea Blockade, considering the length of the North Sea Blockade and the sea conditions, after stealing a blockade ship, the British might not get news at all after turning around and leaving. And for an erratic auxiliary cruiser that was sunk by a battleship or by a submarine, it might not be realistic to send a large fleet.

And what if it is dispatched? As long as the German battlecruisers leave early, there is no way. After all, the speed of battleships is too slow. Although battlecruisers are faster, they need to find a capital ship in the entire North Sea. This difficulty is also great. And when you are close to the German mainland, you can get the response of the German main fleet, and Betty can come and try it! Don't leave if you come!

The only thing to worry about is the irregular arrival and cruise of the British Royal Navy's fleet. When the huge British fleet is close to the coast of Germany, the German fleet should stay in the harbor honestly. Of course, this kind of patrol is more about going around in a circle, and it is impossible for a large fleet to be stuck at the door all the time. Apart from anything else, fuel consumption alone is a huge burden, and offshore submarines and minefields are not small. Threatened.

"Could it be that the German fleet's combat mission in the North Sea is piecemeal? Then gradually accumulate advantages and launch a fatal blow?" Admiral von Boll asked.

"If conditions permit, we will engage in a large-scale battle with the British fleet, but before that, we need to do a crucial step, which is to weaken or even severely damage the British battlecruiser formation and possible rapid future. Battleship formation." Rupresit said.

From the perspective of the World War I environment, the value of fast battleships is obviously greater 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 hurry up. The battle with Betty’s fast fleet depends on the specific situation. The battle needs to be arranged by yourself, and always beware of the queens who may be killed and the large fleet not far behind. For this goal, the prince does not have any specific plans. On the one hand, it is a bit difficult, on the other hand, it is too relevant. For Germany, a mistake in the battle at the main fleet level may be fatal. Even if Yisher’s fierceness is not a problem after Jutland Scared enough?

"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 warships were concentrated in the Baltic Sea. The imperial fleet must ensure control of the Baltic Sea as much as possible. We need to carry out offensive mines against Russia and do everything possible. It is possible to consume the Russian fleet through minefields and submarines, and at the same time attack the Russian maritime transportation lines. Of course, we must also strengthen anti-submarine and mine clearance work."

"The situation in the Baltic Sea is different from that in the North Sea. Large-scale fleet engagements rarely occur. They are more of the engagements between light warships, submarines and minesweepers. For a period of time after the start of the war, as long as they can continue to squeeze Russia The navy’s living space is enough. I don’t have too high requirements, but when appropriate, we may launch an offensive against the Baltic Sea coast, and the Baltic Sea Squadron must make relevant preparations!"

"Finally, the most important thing is the submarine break-up operation. I personally take care of this construction. The Kaiser has agreed to increase the total number of submarines of the German Navy to 50 by 1907! Among them, 800 can enter the Atlantic Ocean. The number of submarines over a ton should reach 30. I hope that Admiral Liao Le can give a certain policy preference to the establishment of the submarine fleet and the treatment of personnel. After all, their work is the most difficult and requires a certain degree of technology. Of course, the most The important thing is that they will become the backbone of our fight against British maritime transport!"

"The construction of the submarine force must be carried out at the same height as the construction of the main fleet. Various support ships and shore facilities must also be established. I hope that the Admiralty can set up a special working group to take charge of this project." To build a submarine fleet, the prince needs to establish a long-term mechanism, just as Tirpitz wants to build a large fleet, he must pass the naval bill to solve the funding problem.

The prince can’t keep watching the progress of submarine construction in Germany~www.novelhall.com~ So he needs the cooperation of the Admiralty, he just gives orders and checks the phased success. And give instructions on the work of this working group. "The ocean-going training of the submarine force should be institutionalized, and it should not start later than the end of this year, and next year, I hope that all ocean-going submarines can go to the Atlantic Ocean for a full circle."

"In addition to fleet construction and port construction, I hope that the navy can pay more attention to the aviation industry. Although we already have the most advanced airship in the world, the scarcity of airships makes our aerial reconnaissance and defense network unparalleled. It’s not perfect. I hope the navy can consider purchasing some aircraft for related tactical research.” The prince also had a guilty conscience when he said this. To a certain extent, this thing is considered to be a false public benefit, because the whole of Germany is currently engaged in aviation. The one who clicks the doorway is Bavaria. Little Maoqi made the aviation department still dangling on the balloon.

After this meeting, the prince was naturally unable to stare at the people of the Admiralty to carry out work. After leaving the relevant personnel to be responsible for communication and coordination, the prince returned to Bavaria decisively. The navy was able to manage some of them, and the Bavarian Army and The air force is the most reliable force in the hands of the prince! Whether you intend to win the Eastern Front or for the latter, a strong army is essential. And just before the return of the prince, the Bavarian aviation department finally heard new news that the two new aircraft have been tested for 150 hours and can already be transitioned to trial production.
