Chapter 1316 Experience and Lessons

The high quality of the German fleet and the suppression of radio indeed shocked him greatly, but what really frightened him was the efficiency and ferocity of the German submarine force! MD, Japan only builds so many ships in a year, but they kill 20 ships in less than a day, totaling 120,000 tons. If this were really a PK with a first-rate power, his main fleet might have been defeated before even moving, which would be terrible.

Generally speaking, for others in Yamaya, the combat effectiveness of the German fleet is indeed terrifying, but the Japanese fleet is not incapable of equaling it. At least the Fuso-class battleship can definitely be regarded as the pinnacle of current battleships. Electronic interference is really powerful, but after all, it is in the initial stage of technology. It is not very difficult to say that it is not difficult for all new technologies to catch up or even stay ahead when they first appear. Of course, if it takes a long time to develop, then Not necessarily. (For example, in the history of aviation engines, the Italian aviation engines in World War I were considered to be top-notch. They had at least produced an engine with over 300 horsepower, which was enough to make Germany cry and the UK look at it with suspicion.)

Therefore, Shanwu others did not emphasize technology this time, but emphasized strategy and tactics. He now understands submarines very well, this new weapon and the strategic and tactical changes it brings, which make breaking engagements a low-cost, high-efficiency method of warfare again. These submarines have a very low unit price, a large cruising range, and are numerous in number. They are like poisonous bees everywhere. Although they are small, they are extremely deadly and difficult to remove. Even when the British introduced German submarine tactics, they emphasized that it would be good if the submarine could be suppressed. It is unrealistic to destroy all submarines in the sea. (Of course, only for 1 battle)

To a certain extent, Japan in this dimension can really be called a real big country, whether in terms of military strength, national power or even territorial area. Think about it, Japan now directly controls more than 1.5 million square kilometers of territory! Mainland Japan, the Korean Peninsula, the Philippines, and later half of Indonesia! By the way, there’s still half of Sakhalin…. The geographical space spanned by these islands is too large. Even if the economic exchanges between Japan and other countries are not considered, just maintaining domestic production and economic cycle requires a large number of merchant ships, and submarines are directly at the forefront of the Japanese On the fate gate.

Therefore, Shanwu and others will not talk about other issues. The first thing to talk about is strategic transformation. The goal of the fleet is not only to be used in decisive battles at sea, but also to strengthen the protection of domestic maritime transportation! Secondly, the future development of the Japanese Navy's submarine force will also need to focus on attacking the opponent's warships and develop towards breaking diplomatic relations at sea. After all, from the current point of view, the attack effect of submarines on fleets is much worse, but it is 100% sure to attack merchant ships.

The corresponding construction of the destroyer force is no longer simple reconnaissance and torpedoing. In the reports of others in Shanwu, the destroyer's anti-submarine warfare has been raised to a level similar to that of lightning strikes. After all, compared to the sparse number of battleships, the number of submarines is much larger and easier to encounter, and these assassins can get their money back even if they succeed once! Nowadays, a small submarine only weighs more than 600 tons. Building a fully loaded transport ship can already far exceed the cost.

After emphasizing submarine and anti-submarine warfare,

Yamaya and others also mentioned the advantages of the German Navy in aviation technology and electronic technology, especially the latter. According to Yamaya and others: "In the invisible realm, we are played by the enemy at the mercy of applause. All our Information is no secret to the enemy. They know our location and the content of our communications, and then calmly arrange responses. Not only are we unable to obtain the other party’s information, we do not even know that the other party is tracking us. This disadvantage makes No strategy will work, the Germans can win this time and their advantage in radio can account for more than one-third!"

"We must strengthen the research and development of radio technology. Because our allies and potential enemies have huge advantages in this regard, it is not just the armor and artillery of warships that will determine future battles. Radio plays a huge role like human nerves. If the nerves are destroyed, what's the use of having a strong body and a sharp sword?" Others in Shanwu wrote sadly.

As for aviation superiority, the German Empire's maritime eagle has not yet spread its wings, so the Japanese do not know much about it. As for the British bombing of the Dardanelles, the Japanese are naturally envious and jealous, but there is no one else. Technology and financial resources are all in vain, but this time Shanwu others focused on aviation correction. Because of the need to correct aircraft, even with smoke screens, the German fleet's bombardment effect was still not bad. This aroused great interest from others in the mountain house.

"What needs to be explained here is the quality of the German navy. They made excellent use of all their advantages, gradually accumulated bit by bit advantages, and then transformed them into victory. This quality is not only reflected in the superb artillery. The same is true in terms of skills and damage control, as well as in the formulation of battles and the use of tactics. For example, the grasp of the sun and wind direction when dealing with the Kato fleet, and the fleet's maneuverability in the two naval battles were all excellent. Their actions It was beyond our expectations, but he made full use of his strengths. This quality cannot be described as simple bravery." In the end, others from Shanwu wrote this.

In addition to this telegram analyzing the defeat, Yamaya Tato also wrote a telegram similar to a private letter to Combined Fleet Commander Ijuin Goro. In this telegram, Yamaya Tato strongly expressed his uneasiness about the future maritime situation. Let’s not talk about the question of who will win after Britain and Germany have a big fight at sea.

He pointed out, “Regardless of the outcome of World War I, and regardless of whether the British can win the war, Britain will inevitably fall into decline after the war. By then, I worry that the so-called Anglo-Japanese alliance will not be able to Give us enough guarantee. In the end, the British may not be able to take care of themselves, and it is normal for them to even form an alliance with the Americans to deal with us. After all, no one will be satisfied that we are the only powerful country in the huge East Asia!"

"On the contrary, Germany has now withdrawn from the Far East. No matter whether they win or lose after the war, they will not return to the Far East. They just need some economic benefits, and this is what the empire can allow. So, I think that no matter what the outcome of World War I, getting close to Germany It is a good choice for the empire. Even if Germany loses, we can still get a lot of technical support from Germany." Perhaps because he was afraid of being beaten by the Germans, Shanwuhe became a staunch "German stick" in his subsequent years. "!
