Chapter 1026 The decisive battle between the British and German seas
During the naval battle, after China took the lead in using submarines, other countries also joined in one after another, especially Germany, which was very unique in the application of submarines. After the outbreak of the war, the main force of the German Navy was blocked into the port by the British Navy.
However, the German Navy's submarines often enter the ocean, causing great losses to the British maritime transportation lines. The total tonnage of British merchant ships that were sunk every month reached more than 100,000 tons. Even if the British Navy thought about it,
There are many ways to deal with German submarines, but so far, there is no good way, which is mainly due to the fact that there are too few ways to attack submarines.
If you want to sink a submarine, you must first discover the submarine. However, when submarines are submersible, they are usually underwater dozens of meters deep. It is very difficult to discover the traces of the submarine. Only when the submarine launches an attack,
Only then will the traces be exposed. At this time, the escort warships will flock to attack the submarines with naval guns or deep water bombs. The shell of the submarine is relatively thin, and both naval guns and deep water bombs can cause fatality to it
damage. Once the shell is broken, it is very likely to sink into the sea and never float.
To detect submarines underwater, you need to use some special equipment, such as sonar, which is the best equipment for detecting submarines underwater. When China began to use submarines to naval battles, it also began countermeasures.
Development. As early as 1906, Lewis of the British Navy.
Nixon invented sonar, which can only passively listen to sounds and belongs to passive sonar. Overseas agents of the Military Intelligence Bureau have found ways to obtain relevant technology. The Chinese Academy of Sciences also organized experts to conduct it.
More in-depth research and upgrade, and the study of active sonar was started on this plan. It has achieved breakthrough success and will soon be able to be put into actual combat. At that time, the Chinese Navy's destroyers and cruisers will be added.
Install this sonar. (In 195, French physicist Paul Lanqewn collaborated with Russian electrical engineer Cwnstantin ChHlawski to invent the first active sonar device to detect submarines.)
"Your Majesty, what are your requirements for this kind of frigate?" said Navy Secretary Zhang Cheng. Wang Yuze asked the navy to build frigate, but Zhang Cheng had no objection to this. Submarines' role in naval battles is becoming increasingly important and at the same time, and at the same time, they are facing the Chinese navy.
The threat is getting bigger and bigger. If you can have a professional warship against submarines, it will be very good.
"The frigate must have professional equipment to deal with submarines. In addition, it must be fast and at the same time low cost. It can be built on a large scale!" Wang Yuze said. When he defeated the Allies and fought for world hegemony with Germany, the Chinese Navy would face the German Navy.
Submarines are here. At that time, enough frigates can ensure the safety of various maritime transportation lines and provide underwater security for the navy's fleet, especially aircraft carrier fleets.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zhang Cheng nodded. After he was about to return to the Navy, he immediately asked the designers of the shipyard to design the warship according to Wang Yuze's requirements. He already understood what Wang Yuze meant. The main function of this kind of frigate was anti-submarine.
It does not require too much sea attack power and protection power. In this way, the cost of warships can be effectively reduced.
"Your Majesty, the German side contacted us again yesterday and wanted to buy the production technology of our tanks and armored vehicles!" said Chief of Staff Cai Yun. Although China had politely declined Germany before, the Germans did not seem to be completely
Give up.
"Don't pay attention to them! The armored forces are our army's trump card. You can't let the Germans take it so cheaply. The German army is already strong enough. If you have armored forces, it will be even more difficult to deal with. However,
Germany's industrial strength is not difficult to develop tanks and armored vehicles. But the performance will not be too good at the beginning!" Wang Yuze said. Germany's total industrial volume may not be as large as the United States, but Germany's scientific research strength
But it is much better than the United States.
"Yes, your majesty! In addition, Germany hopes to attack Russia with us! The Germans have been exhausted by the British and French coalition forces on the Western Front. In addition, the performance of the Austro-Hungarian ally was too poor, which forced Germany to stay in the east.
Some troops were deployed on the front, and they could not concentrate their efforts on dealing with the British and French coalition forces. When there was no hope of winning quickly on the Western Front, the German General Staff proposed a plan to change the strategy, defeat Russia first, and then deal with Britain and France. However, this required
Our cooperation is enough!" said Chief of Staff Cai Yun. The Western Front of the European War has completely become a trench war. Both sides have built a large number of trenches and fortresses to confront each other. In order to conquer these trenches, both sides have paid a heavy price.
Tens of thousands of people die in trench war every day.
Although Germany still had the advantage, the British and French coalition forces paid a heavy price, they were also exhausted.
"Attack Russia? Germany! The country can't hold on anymore? Tell Germany that we are all focusing on it now! We can't draw troops to cooperate with Germany for the time being!" Wang Yuze said. Although Germany is fighting very hard now, Germany has been doing so, but it is not easy for the Germans to fight.
The national strength is still there, and it is far from reaching the point where Wang Yuze wants to use the Allies to consume Germany's national strength. Therefore, it is very unfavorable for China to intervene in the European war at this time. Besides, the war against the United States has also entered
At the critical moment, the next step is to invade the United States. China needs to focus its main energy on the battlefield in the Americas. Only after defeating the United States and completely erasing this great enemy will China have enough energy to deal with other directions
threat.
"Yes, Your Majesty! But will this make the Germans dissatisfied? What if the Germans are unwilling to suffer losses with the Allies and do not give us the opportunity to reap profits?" Cai Yun said. Although China wants to be a fisherman, let the allies make the Allies
Fight with the Allies. But neither the Allies nor the Allies are fools. Once they realize that they cannot do anything to each other on the battlefield and will also give China the opportunity to dominate the world, they are likely to take other measures.
"This is the question of how we need to grasp a degree. The progress of the American battlefield needs to be accelerated, and it is best to destroy the United States by the end of next year. Our support for Germany cannot be stopped, and we can increase the transportation volume of the Baghdad Railway. In addition,
The decisive battle between the German Navy and the British Navy has not yet begun. William II would not give up his dream of dominating the world so easily!" Wang Yuze said. In order to compete with Britain for the world overlord, Germany gritted its teeth and established a powerful navy. If the German Navy were to be in charge of the German Navy, it would be a slightest move.
If the British navy can be defeated, the dilemma faced by Germany will be lifted, and even force Britain to withdraw from the war in one fell swoop. France will be alone and Germany will become the overlord of Europe. By that time, Germany, which has obtained the resources of the entire Europe, will be
, there is enough strength to compete with China for the belonging of the world overlord.
"Your Majesty, the Germans' Bavarian-class warships have been in service and are now under intense training. The Admiralty expects that the Germans will fight the British Navy at the end of next month or early next month. This will also be a matter of
Germany's future strategy has a great impact. If the German Navy can win, then Germany will definitely continue the war. If the German Navy does not win for Germany, then Germany's determination to fight may be shaken!"
Minister Zhang Cheng said.
"What does the Navy think about this decisive battle?" Wang Yuze asked. In the Battle of Jutland in history, the German Navy achieved a tactical victory, and its own losses were much smaller than that of the British Navy. However, the British Navy obtained a strategy
Victory. After the naval battle, the German Navy was still blocked in the military port until the end of the war. But this era is different. The German Navy's strength is much stronger than in history. Especially now, the German Navy's Bavarian-class battleship
It has been in service, but the British Elizabeth II-class battleships are still under construction, which gives the German Navy an excellent opportunity.
"Your Majesty, the Navy conducted a wargame deduction, and the final conclusion was that the German Navy and the British Navy were likely to be both defeated. The German Navy had 29 battleships and 8 battlecruisers. The British Navy had 35 battleships and 10 battleships.
Cruiser. In addition, the British Navy has 5 ships
'Elizabeth II class, battleships and 5 Revenge class, battleships are being built in accelerating. Even if the German Navy can gain a certain advantage in naval battle, they cannot defeat the British Navy. Once the British Navy's Elizabeth II class, battleships
And the 'revenge class, after the battleship was put into service, the German Navy had no advantage. If it was defeated by the British Navy, there would be no doubts!" said Navy Secretary Zhang Cheng.
The performance of the German Navy's battleship is generally stronger than that of the British Navy's battleship. The design concept of the British Navy's battleship is to sacrifice protective performance in exchange for faster speed and firepower. The German Navy's battleship attaches great importance to the protection performance of the warship and resists
The strike capability is much stronger than the battleships of the British Navy. However, the British Navy has a numerical advantage and the quality of the British Navy is higher. The British Navy, which has dominated the world's oceans for hundreds of years, has obviously developed three times in terms of quality.
The German Navy has been able to compare with more than ten years of age. Of course, the decisive factors in naval battles, in addition to their respective strengths, also depend on luck! If one side has better luck, it may be able to completely change the end of the naval battle.
"The Navy Department and the General Staff should focus on the decisive maritime battle between Britain and Germany. This will have a great impact on the development of the war!" Wang Yuze reminded.
