Chapter 110: Two Systems

In the center, most of the people in the fleet watching the battle just watched the excitement and watched the shells fall non-stop, only the officers who knew a little bit did not speak, some of them were clever, and even saw something, and they were very careful not to enter into the discussion, but they knew very well that Miko might really be a big deal.

Next to Scheer, no one paid attention to Michael, they paid more attention to this command system, in just one or two hours of exercise, the strength of the command system showed, they were impressed, as senior officers of the navy, the captain of the battleship, the commander of the task force, the senior officers knew very well that such a set of sighting system, for a fleet, the importance of this fleet, this is simply a multiplier of the fleet.

Today's exercise shows more things, the ability to integrate the sight and the command system, under the premise that the fleet does not form a battle line, the strength of the fleet is combined to strengthen the attack, and the battleship does not need to form a battle line, when it moves freely, it can be fused together, and the attack may not be increased much, and the survivability is greatly improved.

For example, the current battleship duel, as a few decades ago, in the era of gun platoons, both sides are standing in a row, shooting each other, the battle line is lined up, with concentrated firepower, increase the hit rate, we all know that this is to send to death, standing in a row, will definitely be hit, this is the best method at that time, enough dense firepower, to cause greater lethality, in order to make up for the lack of shooting, the more resolute the row, the less afraid of death. the more you will be able to win.

The same is true of the battle line, if the battle line is formed. Enough projection is guaranteed to guarantee a relatively dense density of fire. It is a sign of gaining the upper hand in naval battles. But now, using this set of aiming system, it is like using the faster rate of fire and the longer range of fire in the back, and in the case of dispersion, to get the same shooting accuracy, in this case, who will stand in a row and hide in the middle of the stand first. Under the premise of protecting themselves, striking at the enemy, trench stations, etc., gradually developed.

If there is a whole, this is installed on every German battleship, what is the concept, it is absolute murder, absolute dominance, get her, must get him. At all costs, this is the accepted choice of all high-ranking generals.

Scheer immediately approached the engineer in charge of testing the system and asked for the sighting system, but the engineer refused. He is only in charge of this test, and the rest will be discussed with the top management of the Northwest.

Scheer knows that too. Engineers can't decide on such a thing. Immediately got on the destroyer and went to the V2 ship. Seeing Cheng Biguang, who was still there, he was personally responsible for the matter of the aiming system this time.

Cheng Biguang told him very calmly that support is okay, but introduction is not. Scheer was very strange, this was completely different from the previous performance of the Northwest, could it be that he showed this system, not to sell, or to obtain greater benefits.

Cheng Biguang calmly told him that he concentrated all the high-precision processing in the northwest, plus some luck, and got a set of systems, which represents the highest technology in the northwest, and there is almost no replication, so it cannot be popularized, and in order to ensure the confidentiality of this system, all the processes must be manipulated in the northwest, which is beyond doubt, otherwise, I would rather give up this system.

Seeing Cheng Biguang say so resolutely, Scheer was a little surprised, but he didn't say anything, weighing in his heart, what kind of plan was in the northwest, but then, Cheng Biguang continued, there is also a security system set up inside, once there is any problem, the commander inside will destroy this system, the whole world, there is only one such system, not even China itself.

Leaving the fate of everything to the Northwest, this is where Scheer was unwilling, so he had to end this conversation, returned to the fleet, and the other officers came forward to inquire about the results, when Scheer said the requirements of the Northwest, the first person who reacted was Hawari, and he said loudly as if he had been stepped on: "No, absolutely not, this chain of command is related to our German lifeline, let them manipulate, isn't it equivalent to putting our lives in the hands of others, this is absolutely not good!" ”

The other officers, by and large, thought the same thing, and were reluctant to put this system in the hands of the Northwesterners, even the allies, whose fleets were obtained from China, and Germany also paid a lot of benefits, and most importantly, this was probably the most powerful warship of the Royal Navy.

"Perhaps?" Scheer raised his eyebrows, as if he had thought of something, but suddenly shut up, there are some things, it is not okay to say too much, the officers present are qualified to know, that is, Hawari alone, it seems that he is just saying it in private.

The exercise is over, just one morning, after a wonderful exercise, the fleet's mentality is a little relaxed, and the next thing is to pack up and go back, the officers have the tasks of the officers, and the sailors are discussing what kind of miraculous system the aiming system in the northwest is, and why it will do so well.

In Scheer's office, Hawari, who was called, understood Scheer's thoughts a little, and before Scheer could speak, he first asked: "Do you want to agree, what are you kidding, holding our lifeblood in the hands of the Chinese!" ”

Sher didn't speak, looked at Hawari with a straight face, and asked calmly: "Hawari, as far as you know now, after adding our fleet, is the Royal Navy an opponent of the British Navy!" ”

Havari didn't expect that Scheer would ask this question directly, they are all senior admirals of the navy, the comparison of the naval strength of Britain and Germany in 1914 is almost 29 ships to 18 ships, even if they add 9 ships, Germany is still a little worse in terms of quantity, even if the northwest warships are relatively strong, who knows if Britain has hidden strength, if it really wants to go to war, the victory rate may be slightly upper hand in Germany.

Even if it is evenly divided and both sides are defeated, for Germany, the recovery ability and shipbuilding ability are far from being compared with Britain, so the strategic goal is still not able to be achieved, for Germany, the best result is to defeat Britain, and it is to defeat Britain in the case of small losses and relatively large victories.

Hawari knows this, he and Scheer are both senior officers, he also has Juncker's background, he knows more than Scheer, even if the task force performs well, Germany is unlikely to have the funds, continue to increase the number of warships, 27 capital ships, more than 190 ships of various sizes, the strength of the German navy compared to the pre-war period, almost doubled, which is quite a financial pressure.

After the outbreak of the war, Germany's expenditures surged, but the income not only did not increase, but even decreased, which is also Germany's disregard for face, but also to take down Paris, from Paris to loot all kinds of wealth, the reason is that there is no money.

Although the task force is good, it is too expensive, the Fantasy class is almost 20% more expensive than the latest Bavarian class according to the price, and the Orion is almost more expensive than the king class, they know that the northwest gives a conscience price, and the naval funds have not increased much, and even under the premise that the army has the upper hand in the war, some military generals have some complaints about the navy.

Thinking of this, Hawari didn't have the confidence to speak, but he still had some concerns, and said to Scheer: "The task force is the largest capital ship fleet outside the Royal Navy, and this command system can coordinate the overall situation, which is almost equivalent to pinning the fate of Germany on this fleet, is this appropriate?" ”

In Scheer's eyes, there was a gleam, and he said: "Have you noticed, in today's test, the distance between the two sides is at least 8.5 nautical miles!" ”

“8.5?” Hawari is also a senior officer, and he sensitively thought of this data, which is about 15 kilometers or more when converted into the metric system, and he suddenly understood what Scheer meant, and said, "What do you mean?" ”

"That's right, it's what you think, in order to avoid problems, we can use its aiming and command system at more than 15 kilometers, or even more than 12 kilometers, and when it comes to within 12 kilometers, we still follow the previous routine!"

This is a solution to the best of both worlds, Hawari has to admit that Scheer's entry point is excellent, 12,000 meters is a hurdle, even with the fantasy class and Orion change, coupled with Scheer's proposal, the range of the artillery has only been gradually increased from 6,000 meters to 10,000 meters, or even close to 12,000 meters, which is a huge improvement compared to Germany's previous ones, with traditional aiming methods, more than 12 kilometers, is still a forbidden area, almost impossible to reach the forbidden area.

Use this forbidden area in exchange for the use of the northwest sighting system, the sighting system is 8 nautical miles away, 12 nautical miles between the performance is quite amazing, even if there is a problem, they can also adjust in time, the only thing that needs to be done, is compatible with two sets of systems, will make the personnel a little bloated, but for 50,000 tons, personnel between 1500 people battleship, dozens more, or even hundreds of people, is this a problem?

Of course, this was not a problem, but in the end, Schell persuaded Hawari, and within an hour or two, the two reached a unified opinion, and in the name of the task force, sent a telegram to Berlin, and at the same time, detailed paper and picture information about the two exercises were also transported to Baghdad by a fast warship in the evening of the same day, and according to the speed of the fast warship, it may take about 10 days to be transported to Paris, and this matter needs to be handled by the German Admiralty and even the Kaiser himself.
