The young staff officers are arguing fiercely, discussing every possibility, in addition to correctness, there is also the issue of judgment at the critical moment, and this is the most test of a commander, for such a battle case analysis, the ability to interpret the battlefield, excellent commanders, under the premise of intelligence and all aspects of ambiguity, can make the most correct judgment, and win the final victory.

There is no foundation of the navy in the northwest, even if it absorbs the essence of the Beiyang naval division, but the naval division is completely different from the navy, the naval division is a coastal defense force from the positioning, and the navy is the real attacker, since the defeat of the First Sino-Japanese War, China has no main warships in 20 years, let alone qualified training and combat, and it is missing in this link.

Experience is such a thing, it seems ethereal, but it is extremely useful, a hundred years of navy, is not a joke at all, even if Yang Yuanzhao hangs up, it can't make up for all this, can only start from other aspects, study the example of the battle is the Northwest after realizing countless methods, get the effective method, from the earliest sail battleship, to the all-steel battleship, to the all-heavy artillery capital ship, countless naval battles, so that the Northwest absorbs the essence, has formed a complete set of system, how to learn experience from it, is also quite in place, In this case, a lot of things were analyzed and written into words.

After two days of debate and analysis of almost all aspects, a system of documents was finally formed, which will be sealed, on the one hand, as information for the study of war examples, and on the other hand, it will be corroborated with the information searched later to determine the authenticity of the matter, and to refer to whether the previous conclusions are correct.

Intelligence stuff. Time-sensitive, a lot of things. It is top secret for a certain period of time, once this period of time has passed. It is much lax, and it can be easily obtained, and the timeliness of this information has passed, and it has become waste paper, which has no effect on specific fields. The Northwest attaches great importance to these, and the Northwest lacks experience, and must gain sufficient experience from naval battles again and again, even outside of China. Only by constantly being inclusive and absorbing these advanced experiences can the Chinese Navy go further and develop by leaps and bounds and catch up with the gap between it and the advanced navy.

When the report was sent to Yang Yuanzhao, Yang Yuanzhao had already been waiting for a long time, and Scheer's return represented that the great war between the Entente and the Central Powers was about to break out. Germany had been provoked by the aggressiveness of the Entente, and had to test even the worst. Perhaps, it is not Jutland. But it will be in the First World War, the first and largest naval battle. Nearly 80 capital ships will face off against each other, and the total tonnage of the capital ships will exceed 3 million tons. Together with various auxiliary fleets, it may exceed 5 million tons. A battle of this level is absolutely unprecedented, and it is estimated that there will be no one to come.

The times have changed, some objective laws will not change, whether there will be a World War II in the future, not to mention for the time being, but the northwest has gone to a successful land, the future war is a war of aircraft carrier battle groups, the aircraft carrier formation is not particularly huge, mainly aircraft carriers, at most three or four aircraft carriers, several sub-fleets together, more than 12 sailing, more than twice as many escort aircraft carriers, is already considered a huge scale.

In the propeller era, the number of aircraft carriers that a regular voyage can carry is as high as more than 100, and the number of carrier-based aircraft, more than a dozen of them, adds up to more than 1,000, which puts great pressure on aviation command, and it is impossible to incorporate 40 or even 50 aircraft carriers into a fleet, and the intensity of combat increases, the attack power is increasing, and the total tonnage is decreasing.

The most important thing is that the game of the aircraft carrier is not as good as the real knife and real gun like the battleship, the carrier-based aircraft are hundreds of miles away, or even farther away to find the opponent, attack the opponent, and successfully return, it seems to be much safer, but there are still some differences with real warships, real swords and real guns, and there are still some differences in blood and tragedy.

Yang Yuanzhao is a military novice in later generations, after crossing into this era, it is the same, inevitably, it will not be strange to defend and counterattack, attracting tens of thousands of horse bandits to attack the city, although with the help of armored trucks and machine guns, annihilating the other party, it is equivalent to solving all the problems at once, but such a move is too risky, once there is a disclosure, or there are thieves or something, maybe the entire Baotou will be ruined.

Yang Yuanzhao is very clear about this, in the military, it is more about providing logistics, for example, more advanced equipment, more reasonable logistics conditions, as for operations, there are very few involved, looking at this report, it is more as a story, not arbitrary interference, after turning over these contents, he said thoughtfully: "It seems that this pass of Scheer is in the past?" ”

Cheng Biguang sent this report, but when he heard such a sentence, his expression immediately became strange, seeing Cheng Biguang's expression, Yang Yuanzhao knew that he was wrong, but fortunately, Cheng Biguang did not open his mouth to refute, but patiently explained: "This pass is in the past, but there is still one last pass, the Baltic Sea estuary, the British 25 warships, it is impossible to leave, that is to say, if Scheer can be able to attack these 25 warships on both sides with the help of the German fleet, he may be able to successfully return, It has a certain advantage, but if Scheer misses the opportunity and is caught between the British on both sides, then ......"

Cheng Biguang didn't say anything, but what he meant, Yang Yuanzhao knew very well that 45 dreadnoughts were probably the largest tonnage of a capital ship fleet in the world's military history, and the fleets of Britain, France and the United States were gathered together, and the total tonnage was absolutely unprecedented, even if his confidence in the fantasy class and Orion was so strong, One is comparable to 1.5 ships, or even 2 ships, but it's just a comparison of warships, if it's really a single pair of two, the fantasy class will also lose, even if it's 9 against 18 ships, it's not easy, when the number is piled up to a certain extent, the resulting reasonableness is very terrible.

For example, dreadnoughts have an overwhelming advantage over dreadnoughts, and a dreadnought can easily take out several dreadnoughts, but this is definitely not the same time, when this number becomes 5:10, 5:15 or even more, even dreadnoughts dare not challenge more dreadnoughts, saying that the dreadnoughts are outdated, more is that its cost is about the same as that of dreadnoughts, but the combat effectiveness is too far apart, not really a one-to-two, one-to-three gap.

In the case of division of forces, 9 ships against 45 ships, ideally, nine one-to-one ships at a time, the capital ships in the northwest may send the other side into the sea, and more than 40 ships of the Entente countries will gather together, or be divided into two parts, in this case, it is very likely that the other side will kill Scheer's fleet under the condition of certain losses, which may be a change from quantitative to qualitative change.

Yang Yuanzhao smiled at himself and pretended to say: "Help them as much as possible, what can we do?" ”

"Have you sent all the information from our side? It's already been sent, as for the rest! Cheng Biguang also sighed, this battle, I'm afraid it is really someone else's battle, they can only watch from a distance, but they only get some information, which can't satisfy a naval officer's desire for naval warfare.

For the navy, watching the largest decisive battle of man-made objects in the history of mankind may involve a duel between a huge fleet of 5 million tons, which is a huge temptation for a naval officer, but the dominant party is the other party, and they can only watch from afar.

Seeing Cheng Biguang's expression, Yang Yuanzhao knew what he was thinking, and a thought turned around, and said: "General Cheng, let the Ministry of Foreign Affairs contact them to see if we can send an observation team to observe!" ”

"This, that's great!" Cheng Biguang's eyes lit up, and he said with a little excitement, Observation, military observation team, with the relationship between the two sides, this should be possible, but Cheng Biguang asked as if he suddenly thought of something: "Is it too late to contact now?" ”

Listening to Cheng Biguang's explanation, knowing that this decisive battle may break out in a short period of time, and the country will not be able to catch up, but Yang Yuanzhao still ordered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to contact and successfully let a group of about 120 people successfully board the capital ship of the High Seas Fleet.

"By the way, do you have any suggestions for the development of the Navy, do you have any Admiralty?" Yang Yuanzhao asked, he naturally turned from the Scheer fleet to naval construction, this is the key to the future, no experience, can not compare with the real fleet, the reason why Britain is strong, is because the capital ships are strong, if China explodes 100, or even 200 capital ships, as long as it is not led by pigs, as long as it can play the basic role of the fleet, the victory of the navy is certain.

One person can defeat 2 people, but 10 people may not be able to defeat 20 people, when the ratio of the battleship reaches 1:5 or 1:10, this is no longer the combat power or command ability can make up for it, two fists are hard to beat four hands, although this sentence is old, but it reveals a simple concept, the number of to a certain extent, represents strength.

Yang Yuanzhao actually took the initiative to mention the development of the navy, Cheng Biguang did not turn this corner, looked down and thought about it, his eyes couldn't help but light up, thinking of a previous proposal, and asked tentatively: "Navy military spending?" ”

"That's right, it's military spending, special military spending!" Yang Yuanzhao nodded and replied, answering in the affirmative, which made Cheng Biguang rub his hands excitedly, as if a piece of golden light was rising in front of his eyes! (To be continued.) )
