China asked the Scheer fleet to report in detail on the battle report and the course of the battle during his return, in order to improve the capabilities of the navy. Compared with the army, in the past few decades, the navy has changed very much, and the methods of naval warfare have also undergone earth-shaking changes, but to sum up, it is really the three elements of ship building, speed, protection and firepower.

When it comes to combat, it becomes how to use the strongest firepower to attack the weakest part of the opponent, or put yourself in an advantageous position in sports and other methods. With this basic understanding, with the help of some professionals and naval veterans, the transformation of some talented staff officers of the army and the promotion of basic non-commissioned officers of the navy constitute this huge team of 2,000 staff officers.

From the Anglo-Dutch War to the 300 years of naval warfare, these staff officers, divided into several groups, have analyzed the world's well-known wars, and they have been growing up more and more thoroughly about naval warfare.

Germany's relations with China, coupled with the fact that the Scheer fleet also needs China's help, they did not hide it, and even the battle plan for breaking through the defense of the Gulf of Guinea just now told China that this latest and biggest battle report, especially the ships participating in the war, is still at the present stage of China. When it comes to being able to make the strongest battleship, in a sense. This is even more important for the significance of the Chinese Navy, because of the future. They will command the same ships, the same fleet, and some of the experiences and lessons learned in this operation will affect the development of the Chinese Navy in the next few years, even more than ten years, and even the new generation of warships in the future will also learn from these experiences and lessons.

Of course, the top of the Admiralty knew it. Battleships, especially battleships that are more powerful than the Fantasy class, may only complete one batch, that is, 16-17 inch guns, full protection, enhanced air defense and protection performance, and improved sinking resistance, and it will not be responsible for important combat missions, the protagonist of future naval battles. It will be an aircraft carrier.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Navy, the artillery faction occupied the dominance, and the naval officers of the old generation were all artillery factions. However, the northwest has been constantly enriching the young forces, especially in the navy, and has introduced the practice that dialectics and practice are the only ways to solve problems. When the aircraft becomes more and more powerful, the aircraft carrier is constantly improving because of the aircraft. When there is the possibility of continuous improvement, the aircraft carrier faction has an overwhelming advantage.

The Admiralty also understood. In the beginning, it was impossible for aircraft carriers to be the main force, so this would become the last glory of the battleship, and they would enrich and improve it as much as possible, and with the tacit approval of the top management, the discussion and study of the battleship was also in full swing.

The intelligence was sent to the Admiralty, almost without the commander's order, the Admiralty's staff officers were divided into different groups to discuss, and it took a night, more than 2,000 staff officers, to restore the general battle report, the strength of the people is large, and the analysis from all aspects, there are almost 20 templates, the northwest only knows the specific movements of the Scheer fleet, and does not know the British ships, so a lot of possibilities are set, and from these countless possibilities, an inevitability is analyzed, and through scientific analysis, the most likely is determined. That's what they need to do.

When the three most probable choices were proposed, the three possibilities were put on the large projection screen of the General Research Office of the General Staff Department, and after the slides introduced one possibility after another, it was the time of the big discussion, in the case that the battle report could no longer be changed, to discuss the advantages and disadvantages, and to see if the other side made mistakes from the perspective of both sides.

Scheer was the successful side, after only one battle, passed through the 300-nautical-mile blockade line that the other side strictly guarded, and in this regard, many staff officers may be able to do better than him, but the good is limited, under the premise of insufficient intelligence support at that time, can do what Scheer did, not one.

History is like this, in the midst of coincidences and inevitability, the result of constant collisions, the reason why a famous general is a famous general, is that he made the right choice in the most difficult place, maybe it can be said that he is lucky, but without his own solid foundation, this kind of luck, can not be obtained at all.

For the time being, for China, there is no such condition as a genius like Scheer, who studied in a professional naval school and worked in the naval field for decades, and will not have such conditions for at least 10 years.

Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, young officers are always fearless, a young staff officer, said with some emotion: "The British underestimated the enemy? ”，

According to the existing analysis, the British are underestimating the enemy, although they use a lot of ships to search, they are all separate individuals with each other, according to their trajectory of action, it will take them 3-4 days to complete a complete exploration, before they will come into contact with other fleets, when the time comes, after discovering the anomaly, when there are no major changes in other countries, they will not look for it at the first time, so that when they react, it will be at least 6 days later?

"Will anyone pass by?" Cheng Biguang, who presided over the meeting, raised questions.

The staff officer in charge of the analysis said with a wry smile: "I don't know if it's a coincidence, or the real ability of Scheer himself, the place he attacked is a place where there are few crossings, to be exact, if another search team happens to go through this area, it will be 10 days later!"

It was still the young staff officer, who continued to stand up and said: "This is the loophole on the British side, if it is me, even if the encirclement is arranged a little more dispersed, it must be staggered enough, because relying on these ordinary warships to block 9 powerful capital ships, this is almost a fantasy, but the early warning role is okay, they don't have a mature radio, they can't use the radio to issue an early warning in a short time, but they can use the staggered method, I calculated, If we take the smallest number of British ships that we can infer at the present time, this staggered time would be 2 days. ”

2 days, for Scheer's fleet, is absolutely fatal, even if it is 2 days of discovery, 2 days of warning, 4 days, it is impossible for Scheer's fleet to cross the British at all, and when the time comes, it will be a big trouble. Perhaps, the British just laid out an idle move, I heard that in the English Channel and the North Sea, the Entente arranged more ships. Details determine success or failure, and it is estimated that the Scheer fleet can run back with this.

Strength is also very important, otherwise, if these ships are replaced by ships like the King class, or the Nassau class, even if the British are unguarded and pile up more than 40 ships in the Baltic Sea, he will not be able to pass.

Cheng Biguang looked deeply at this young staff officer and wrote down his name, Li Zhen, 22 years old, a native of Lianyungang, Shandong, from a poor background, was the outstanding fishing boat plan in the northwest, and had a strong naval talent.

Another naval officer also stood up, and he also expressed his opinion based on this, not exactly the same, but from another angle to analyze the problem, there are many similar officers, and the questions are quite enthusiastic, and in the incessant debate, the specific context of this battle has become clearer and clearer.

Cheng Biguang looked at the young officers who were arguing below, but he sighed with emotion in his heart, the staff system had been established before, and he was still a little unimpressed, in his opinion, the navy is a special branch of arms, and the army is completely different from the army, how can the system transplanted from the army to the navy be successful.

Watching the staff come step by step, these staff officers, from the very beginning, continue to make mistakes, to grow up step by step, to this day, these staff officers in the staff officer, has rarely made mistakes, they will analyze the problem from different angles, different aspects, the system is comprehensive, the content is in-depth, beyond imagination, and even with the help of the staff system, a group of outstanding officers have emerged, take Wuxiu as an example, as long as a little training, each will become a qualified battleship captain, And even the commander of the detachment.

Cheng Biguang has seen their analysis, and after making a battle plan during the exercise, it is natural that some people will analyze a series of aspects clearly, and the commander does not have to rely on estimation or take risks, but only needs to come step by step, so as to reduce the risk and enhance the combat effectiveness, even an old officer like him can get tremendous help, and his vision will be broader, and the officers who have come out of the orthodox staff system will see more comprehensively and make judgments faster.

Now, under the condition that all kinds of information and intelligence are not perfect, they can analyze the intelligence beyond the sea and frontier little by little, Germany is still enough, there is relatively comprehensive information, and even Scheer takes the initiative to cooperate, but Britain, just relying on a small amount of information, as well as Scheer's experience, has analyzed 7 possibilities, Cheng Biguang did not determine, in the end these possibilities are right, but from the experience of a soldier, this possibility is very in place, if he is a British officer, According to the analysis of his staff officers, Scheer's fleet is really dangerous.

But then, he smiled, the northwest has mastered radio communications, there is no need to be so troublesome, in key places, only need to get a batch of submarines, plus some fishing boats, even if it is a 300-ton fishing boat, you can also be equipped with a radio transmitter, with the help of the surrounding land-based, larger-scale transmission tower intermediary, you can transmit information back to any place, no need to arrange too many ships, Scheer's fleet is still unable to run.
