Chapter 1103: Northwest Confidence
German officialdom seems to have calmed down, but in the Admiralty, all aspects of the action have been quickened, and the work that was only quietly prepared before has gradually been raised to the surface, and some places that should be ambushed must also be ambushed.
Battleships are big things, it is almost impossible to hide from the Entente, that is, in that remote and complicated place in Southeast Asia, it can be hidden for such a long time, once they come back through thousands of miles of sea, it is certain that they will be discovered, so before they are discovered, should they be shown to take advantage of some sudden state.
Since Scheer's fleet is in Southeast Asia, it is natural that Tirpitz set his sights on Southeast Asia, China unified the news, Germany is known for a long time before other countries, and the most clear about the strength of the northwest is Germany, I don't know why the northwest is slow to reunify, but they know that once the northwest moves, it will be a thunderbolt.
Now as it turned out, the northwest swallowed mountains and rivers with the momentum of swallowing mountains and rivers, first peacefully resolved Beiyang, and then stormed Nanjing, and the beheading operation was too beautiful, and the revolutionary party, which did not have much strength, completely lost its ability to resist, and reunification was only a matter of time.
Britain and France have considerable interests in China, especially Britain, and they are certainly not willing to let the Chengjiang Valley fall into the hands of the northwest, especially Hong Kong, the pearl of the Orient, which also has an important position in the overseas colonial territory of the British.
The connection between Germany and Central Asia has become closer and closer with the 3B railway, which is different from the ship. Not only is it faster, it's the standard of 3B rail. Even a steam locomotive can reach speeds of more than 140 per hour. The average speed of 80-100 kilometers is much faster than that of the fastest destroyers at sea, and by land, the shortest distance is taken, and the time from Basra to Berlin is at least half of the time of the province than the sea route, so the shortest time is 10 days. The document sent by Scheer was in Tirpitz's hands.
Scheer was drawn by Tirpitz and knew exactly what Tirpitz was concerned about, and the report was very detailed, documenting every point in time, even including Michael's disobedience.
Miko was also unlucky, he didn't expect that the decision he made in a hot mind would go directly to Tirpitz's blacklist. Although Tirpitz, who is a marshal of the Navy, will not directly deal with a low-level officer like him, his ascent route is basically completely locked, even if it is impossible to go elsewhere.
A detailed report. Details to Tirpitz can even be based on the report, that is, depending on the whole course of the exercise at that time, on the first day. On a ship, the aiming system shoots with incredible accuracy. The terrible hit rate proves its worth. Can be the next day. The more amazing performance has almost changed the structure of the entire naval battle, and perhaps when such a technology is popularized, the term battle line will completely become a historical term and be swept into the old paper pile of history.
Tirpitz read the whole report, he already had the bottom in his heart, and then, he did not rush to put this battle report on the imperial meeting, but asked naval experts, artillery experts, and staff officers to study the merits of this report together, and evaluate the value of this report, and finally formed a whole set of things, which was then reported to the Kaiser.
The Kaiser looked at the report in front of him, a few days later than he expected, but it was quite detailed, and it clearly marked the strength of the battleship before and after the use of the sighting system.
"Is this true, 1.8 times better?" Wilhelm II said in surprise, as a naval emperor, he knew very well that the increase in the power of warships was not equal to the increase in the number of warships, and the power was much greater.
The dreadnought is so powerful that all the former dreadnoughts are outdated, but is his strength really twice as strong as the former dreadnoughts? I'm afraid I can't say that, but in fact, in a naval battle, in a one-to-one situation, the dreadnought can almost kill the front dreadnought without damage, and in the case of one-to-two, or even more, it can also be invincible with the help of speed, maybe it can destroy the opponent by taking the opportunity.
Now, with the sighting system, the already powerful Fantasy class and Orion can be changed by 1.8 times, even if the current ship is compared, Germany is confident that it will fight the British head-on.
The navy is always an offensive branch, and the army is attacking cities on land, but if you want to open up overseas and establish hegemony, you will never have to participate in the navy, and the British are like a big mountain, pressing on the hearts of all of them, and now, it seems that with this, everything is solved.
"We have found many experts and calculated in detail, only a little more!"
"Does that mean that our strategic decisive battle with Britain is about to be advanced?"
"That's right, but before Scheer and the others come back, they still have to shine in the Far East!"
Wilhelm II was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Tirpitz to say this without a head, after a little thought, he understood, and said with a smile: "You are an honest man, and there are times when you play tricks, this is good, and you are more welcome to come to the northwest!" ”
Tirpitz smiled, but did not speak, the next imperial meeting, secret and without leaving traces, the whole meeting lasted for 7 hours, the battle between sea and land in Germany is there, but it is a reasonable competition, everyone knows, if the navy wins the British advantage, when the time comes, maybe you can force the Entente to sign the alliance under the city, less navy as a barrier, the British mainland is under attack, when the time comes, Germany can digest the fruits of this war, expand the land area and population, This is the least hurtful way to choose the country.
Before, both Germany and Britain knew that there must be a war between the two sides, and they both thought that they could quickly produce opponents, and the mention of the northwest was quite timely, supplementing the places that Germany did not expect, whether it was the 3B railway, or personnel and materials, so that Germany would not fall into a crisis just after the war.
But if the war continues, even Germany can't stand it, a large search of Paris's property, not because Germany is greedy for money, but to take precautions, Britain with the help of the navy, has been invincible, and the United States is far away from the ocean, powerful, the world's first industrial country to join the battlefield, which is quite a lot of pressure on Germany, forcing the navy to move, on the one hand, the battle between sea and land, on the other hand, why not let Britain before the United States enters the war, the losses increase.
Now, a simple sighting system can actually increase the power of the capital ship so high, and Moltke Jr. even asked if he could expand the command system to other warships. After all, the task force only has 9 capital ships, and there are almost 18 ships in the German mainland, and if it can really be increased by almost half, that is the real advantage, even in the decisive battle, after defeating the British, there will still be half or even more warships left.
It's a pity that Scheer also asked the northwest about this question, and the northwest replied no, although it was said that the command system had a margin, and there would only be 20 warships at most, but the other warships, the artillery was not unified, and the caliber and magnification were not uniform, not to mention that 18 ships were added, but to unify them, the amount of calculation would have to rise by more than 10 times, and there would even be large-scale errors, which was not suitable.
The fire control system was developed after World War II, with the gradual deepening of radar and electronic products, and the performance was relatively stable, but it was in the late stage of World War II, after decades of research, and the northwest is now getting out, at best, it is a grass team, and it was not even taken out without rigorous testing, that is, with the civilian computers of the 21st century, it was dominant during the First World War, if the other side was prepared to increase some calculation difficulty, and make targeted arrangements, It's unlikely that there will be such a high hit rate.
No, no, the German Navy saw the dawn of defeating the British for the first time, as long as it can inflict heavy damage and annihilate the British home fleet, then for Germany, what kind of result is acceptable, Moltke Jr. even made a statement on behalf of the War Department, in the six months before the decisive battle, what needs the army to cooperate, the army to cooperate with all its might.
The plan was agreed, and the Germans agreed to most of the conditions proposed by the Northwest, decided to introduce this system, and respected the secrets of the Northwest, and never took the initiative to explore it, so that the Germans would bear all the consequences arising therefrom.
The news was first transmitted to Scheer, and through Scheer, and at the same time, through the diplomats of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Baotou, it was discussed with the Northwest, and the Northwest also prepared a team of about 300 people for the command system, including 10 full-time commanders, who will enter the command room according to the principle of changing shifts, and the rest are auxiliary personnel.
When the diplomat was recognized by the German side, he also put forward the conditions to help China recover Hong Kong and take the initiative to attack the British and French East Asian fleets, which was also recognized by Yang Yuanzhao, where the sleepiness came to the pillow, for the northwest, the most critical thing at present is the Hong Kong issue, the south's strategy for Guangzhou has come to an end, with the help of the Beijing-Guangzhou railway south of the Yangtze River, almost 4 divisions of 100,000 people of support troops entered Guangzhou, the battle of Hong Kong is imminent, The only problem lies in the support of the navy, which vacillates between the German fleet and the home fleet, and in the end, the Germans took the initiative to extend an olive branch to completely solve this problem, and there are still a few months before August, a little earlier in time, but for the northwest, there is a need for an exciting news, what is better than taking Hong Kong, which can show the attitude of the northwest.
During this period of time, the British and Hong Kong were like facing a great enemy, not only deployed the tonnage of more than 200,000 tons of the East Asian Fleet, but also mobilized four divisions and nearly 70,000 people from India and other places, but these are nothing at all in the eyes of the northwest.
