Chapter 1102: The Naval Controversy

In the Kaiszestine, Wilhelm II looked at Tirpitz in surprise, and after listening to Tirpitz for a long time, he finally understood what Tirpitz meant, and said with some thought: "You mean, this is a mathematical problem!" ”

"That's right, it's very simple, a math graduate can make a problem!" Tirpitz swore by it.

"But we can't!" The Kaiser's words hit Tirpitz like an arrow, Tirpitz's tone suddenly became sighing, Wilhelm II smiled, and said: "Okay, I'm just joking, it seems that the Northwest has told the truth about some things, and our mathematics professor at the University of Berlin can't solve the problem, so it can only be a lucky accident!" ”

Both of them were sensible people, and neither of them asked the questions of more than 100 mathematicians, perhaps, some people were gifted and could calculate quickly even if they were not mathematicians, but the whole process of the exercise at that time was on a German ship, surrounded by Germans, not to mention more than 100 mathematicians, even if it was thirty or fifty, don't think about easily boarding the battleship.

"So what are we going to do, are we going to accept it? Scheer has come up with a good plan! ”

The Kaiser nodded, and Scher's plan he also listened to Tirpitz say, in a sense, it was to sweep Germany's face and put his fate in the hands of the Northwesterners, even if the two sides are close allies now, this feeling is unpleasant. Fortunately, it was only more than 12 kilometers, and he also asked Tirpitz in detail, for the current king, not to mention 12 kilometers, 10 kilometers is basically a forbidden area. The artillery in there is not accurate at all. Use is not in the grasp. In exchange for greater accuracy, even at distances of up to 12 km. Causing a little bit of damage is a great thing for Germany.

Recently, Germany's momentum on the European battlefield has put Tirpitz under great pressure, and Wilhelm II is also very clear that he has never urged him, but the bottom-up power is still discussed, so even if it is forced. The German Navy will have to carry out an attack this year.

In terms of its own strength, it is much weaker than Britain, and if it takes the initiative to attack, it may suffer huge losses, how can Tirpitz, who has always regarded the High Seas Fleet as his child, accept it easily, so he can figure it out, as for Wilhelm II. He himself has a broad vision, otherwise he would not have cooperated so deeply with the Northwest and He, and he would not have obtained the task force, after the problems of the two people were unified. It's up to the next meeting.

Rao is two of them had already prepared, and they didn't expect that in the meeting. The non-parliament against the use of sighting systems is so large, in particular, a minister. It was even proposed that in case the Northwest harbored evil intentions, at the time of the attack on the British. What to do with the use of the wrong commands, let the German High Seas Fleet kill each other?

Of course, this is what the layman said, not to mention whether the Northwest will do this, the connection between the Northwest and Germany is not as simple as it says on paper, the key question is that the Northwest has a lot of interests in Germany, on the bright side, on the dark side, just say that the 2 million migrant workers discharged from the Northwest, don't they want these people.

Besides, maybe the war is tense, and the elite gunners will carry out the order, and they will not look at who is aiming, but it is close at hand, only within 5 kilometers, and the aiming object is 12 kilometers away, and the gunner will roughly sweep out, and long-range artillery hits, and short-range direct fire, these are completely different concepts.

After solving this minister who doesn't understand, next, the rationality, whether it is really strong, and even the strength of the Orion change and the fantasy level itself have been questioned, is this completely nothing, even William II is a little impatient, just relying on what the telegram says, you can't feel the power of the aiming system at all, who won't talk about the results casually, the key is the process.

Fortunately, Scheer is also a clever man, from the second day of the war, he sorted out a detailed battlefield record completed by the staff officers and his subordinates, and transported it to Baghdad by the fastest ship, Tirpitz went to find the mathematician in the past few days, the ship has arrived in Baghdad, and is on the road by rail, once it arrives, all the problems are solved.

Sure enough, the continuous fatigue bombing, even the honest man Tirpitz was a little impatient, especially for the nonsense, and even questioned the Orion and Fantasy class, he took out a copy, when Scheer had just taken over the ship, he had sent someone to send a detailed information about the two ships, at that time the Kaiser and the main officials of the Admiralty had seen it, and the others did not know much, and now, it was simply made public.

Soon the adjutant took the things over, and also copied a few copies, Tirpitz said a little impatiently: "The matter of the aiming system, you can wait for a while, the detailed results will come back in a few days, if it is strong, we will use it, there is a problem, it will be over without use, now, the data of these two battleships is here, do you still have any questions about the fantasy class and Orion change?" ”

Tirpitz's words, almost to the core, from the beginning of the battleship sea trials, a steady stream of performance has been summed up, whether it is the senior executives of the Admiralty, or the naval designers, have determined the strength of these warships, and now this one includes the comments of many well-known German warship designers.

A behemoth close to 50,000 tons, but it can guarantee a speed of 25 knots, the limit is even close to 27 knots, what is this concept, not to mention the above, 15-inch 47 times the caliber of the gun, according to the strength of the test, their performance is very good, not only that, in terms of life, it is about 300 rounds longer than Krupp's 13.5 inches, the rate of fire and performance in all aspects have been slightly improved, and the power has also been greatly improved.

From this point of view, the Northwest has surpassed the German Krupp Company in the processing capacity of large-caliber artillery, which can be seen from the comments of the chief artillery expert of the Krupp Company, not to mention, Germany only knew through anti-aircraft machine guns before that the Northwest actually has the ability to produce 16-inch guns, and also placed an order.

Not to mention the armor, the armor in the northwest obtained by the king level, after being installed, it was well received, not only the price is lower, the performance is more outstanding, the most important thing is that up to now, the entire Krupp company, has spent a lot of energy to research, and there is not much progress, most of the things in it have been studied, and they all understand, but how to integrate them together, I don't know.

Of course, Yang Yuanzhao knows what the reason is, the processing technology, this era, is still in the era of formulas, sometimes adding one or two materials, you can make a strong alloy. Almost from World War I to World War II, and even the post-World War II period, it is like this, but in the 21st century, the main thing is the processing technology, relying on all kinds of special processing, changing the molecular structure, and even the atomic structure, so that the metal has relatively excellent performance, this is the most basic thing, these things, not scanning and studying the metal can be obtained, even if you are clearly told that the proportion in the formula, you may not be able to, 100% get out, this thing, what is it, it is impossible to copy it.

All aspects of the northwest are still very rudimentary, steel, or crude steel a little more, go to the later generations, the old way of winning by quantity, in the absence of higher technology and mature technology, but to a certain extent, special steel mills, has begun to try some of the later processes, but the most rudimentary, with the help of different quenching methods, change the metal structure, some use new technology. This kind of change is to create history, the same steel, quenched by a reasonable, scientific method, by the way for physical processing, release of metal stress and various forces, in terms of performance, slightly exceeded, or even change the basic properties of some metals, it is still possible.

Seeing what Tirpitz took out, Moltke didn't look at it at all, he knew very well that Tirpitz and Wilhelm II were both understanding people, especially in the navy, who could be recognized by them, and in exchange for an overseas colony, at least it should be something of considerable strength, naval equipment can be different from the army, there is no continuous consumption, the capital ship is such a level, a year's consumption, you can buy a capital ship, this is also Britain, France and Germany, both have a one-time take out 20 million, Even more money strength, but except for the wealthy Britain, who will start building more than 10 capital ships a year, even if they are backward, they will not do so.

can become a high-ranking official, and the same is true for other people, their previous words all have their own purposes, and now Tirpitz is angry, honest people are angry, no one dares to slack off, not to mention, there is a German Kaiser stationed behind, the Kaiser's mentality towards the navy can be imagined.

After briefly flipping through the information and recognizing the general data, under the leadership of Moltke Jr., he turned to another question, whether the navy must hide in the Baltic Sea and make a fleet.

Really! The Kaiser remained silent, this was a problem he had long anticipated, Tirpitz did not hesitate, and took the initiative to propose, after this battle report came, if the aiming system was feasible, Scheer's training had also reached the end, and next, it was the return of Scheer's fleet, as long as they came back, within the next half a year, they would inevitably start a big battle belonging to the capital ships in the North Sea.

A meeting to solicit opinions was held, and Tirpitz was also quite tired, and did not stay too much here with the Kaiser, even if he had to wait for the most fundamental data of the sighting system, he had to go back to the Admiralty, and in half a year, he took the initiative to provoke a duel of capital ships, which involved too many things, some things, if you don't think about it, the other party will definitely come, and it depends on whether the British will cooperate.
