Chapter 2009 Professional Advice
(page 1/1)
"Besides, because our queue is too long and the opponent's queue is relatively short, considering the route and distance factors, in fact, some warships at the edge of the queue have very poor shooting range, and their firepower performance is affected. Even Because in the battle, such a large-scale fleet will cease fire for a period of time after firing, because the smoke from the artillery is so thick that it directly obscures our vision."
"As for Mr. Churchill's analogy of using an egg with a hammer? I can only say that our warships can be regarded as hammers after changing the shells, but the defense of the battleship itself is still at the level of an egg. And the German elite battleship Whether it is speed, defense or firepower, they are all quite good. From the beginning of the war to now, we have only sunk one German battleship, which is enough to prove that the powerful combat effectiveness of German warships is beyond ordinary people's imagination."
"According to the previous tactics of the German High Seas Fleet, they used mobility and tactics to obtain a better engagement situation, and then used a violent attack to obtain some warring states before the large fleet was fully deployed, and then withdrew. Repeatedly A process. Thus slowly wearing us down like a pack of wolves."
"If it was a decisive battle, the Germans would definitely bring slow capital ships, which might slow them down, but if the Germans decide to use these ships as bait, then it is even worse, because that means the Germans will take us I don't know what secret weapon or confidence the Germans would have in a showdown, but if they decide to do it, they'll have something to lean on," Jericho said.
"There are no bunkers at sea, and it is difficult to hide anything except submarines. Doesn't the Grand Fleet have a new type of capital ship called an aircraft carrier? The aircraft on it are enough for us to disperse the fog in the battlefield?" Prince Mountbatten said.
"This is an advantage. At least for now, there is no information that the Germans are equipped with this kind of warship. But the German capital ship also has seaplanes, and there are also disposable aircraft with landing gear removed (take off directly through the ejection rail), They will affect our detection efficiency," Jericho said.
"In short, if I make a conclusion, from the interests of the empire, I really don't want to see a life-and-death battle between the Grand Fleet and the High Seas Fleet. Our chances of winning are better, but it will definitely not be as big as you imagine. Even if we win, the navy of the British Empire will become a second-rate navy, because we have lost too many warships and personnel. Looking at the current situation of the empire, I am not optimistic that we will have the same navy in the future. Huge fleet," Jericho concluded.
"Well, another question, with Ruprecht's personality, how likely is it that he will let the High Seas Fleet carry out a decisive battle with little chance of winning? Or to put it another way, in his eyes, is he willing to bear The consequences of the High Seas Fleet being severely damaged or even destroyed?" Prime Minister Asquith asked.
"Although many generals believe that sacrifice is the cornerstone of victory, they will give up some people's lives to fight for victory when necessary. But our enemy does not agree with this approach very much, perhaps the enemy he faces Not strong enough, maybe he thinks his command is enough to deal with the situation on the battlefield, in short, from the current point of view, whether it is a sea battle or a land battle, he seldom puts his troops in a situation where they must die."
"We have analyzed all the naval battles commanded by Crown Prince Ruprecht. Before the battle broke out, he always used various methods such as suspicious soldiers and technical advantages to create a very good engagement situation, and then launched a lightning strike like the most ferocious predator. A similar attack, before the main force of the large fleet reacted, and then retreated like lightning, compared with Earl Spey in the Mediterranean theater and Su Xiong in the Indian Ocean,
Crown Prince Ruprecht suffered the most tactically. "
"As for letting the entire High Seas Fleet fight the Grand Fleet under unfavorable circumstances? This idea is really crazy. The Germans have already gained the upper hand. Do you have to use the precious Grand Fleet to compete with us?" Jerry asked Cole.
"What if the Germans think that the empire is not giving enough and want to force the empire?" Belfort said.
"The price is too high. It is true that Germany is a continental country, so its dependence on the navy is not as high as that of the British Empire, but we need to pay attention to that Germany is now also a world empire with a large number of colonies. The navy is to guarantee its colonies. The cornerstone of security, the North Sea, the Mediterranean, the Atlantic and the Indian Ocean must have certain fleets to ensure the security of an empire."
"And more importantly, there will be no more wars for the British Empire for a long time after the end of the war. The significance of the existence of the fleet is more of a deterrent. But for the Germans, their fleet determines Germany's The status in the minds of the Americans! More than half of the reason why the Americans tolerated Germany's expansion lies in this point. From this point of view, the prince should not want to invest such a precious fleet in a war In the decisive battle. Because this is the most important bargaining chip for the Germans to restrain the Americans!"
"If the High Seas Fleet suffers huge losses, then the number of warships that can be used in the war against Japan in the future will be very small, which will directly cause dissatisfaction among the Americans, and this dissatisfaction will be directly reflected in the debt issue to Germany and economic support. , after the war, the economic issue became the most important issue, and Bavaria gained several times more territory than the mainland. In this case, if the funds are not enough, then it is simply a disaster. A population of more than 10,000 is enough to bring down this small kingdom. After all, the post-war reconstruction work in the war zone alone is a very large expenditure.” Jericho said.
Most people think that Jericho is a pure soldier. In fact, Jericho also has certain insights and abilities in other fields. Otherwise, Jericho would not have become the Governor of New Zealand after World War I in history. This time, Jericho analyzed from the post-war economic level and Ruprecht's previous tactics, and came to the conclusion that Ruprecht is unlikely to force a decisive battle in a disadvantaged situation.
"Your answer reassured me a little, so can we understand that the German navy will not be dispatched on a large scale at the end of the war?" Belfort asked. "After all, they have to keep enough troops to deal with other possible emergencies, and to help the Americans deal with the Japanese."
