"The Germans have already failed, they are fleeing in a hurry! Now, lads, let's celebrate today's victory with champagne and good food! This is a great end, but also an even greater beginning! Sooner or later, the German High Seas Fleet will be swept into the dustbin of history by us! "In the hangar of the USS Essex. To read the book, the officers and pilots of the Navy from various other warships gathered together, and just today, they fought hard and won a brilliant victory. And tonight is always a time for them to relax and cheer!

In the huge hangar, which is 4ooo square meters high, people enjoy the joy of victory and relieve the stress of weeks. But as commanders, they could not indulge themselves in this banquet, and in addition to leaving the necessary personnel on duty to be responsible for the safety of the fleet, Nimitz, Summer and others had to sum up the battle. Get ready for future battles.

(What?) Where is the Essex going, you ask? After the battle, a third of all fleet aircraft carriers are empty, put a little on the deck, and move it a little more, not to mention that there are only a few aircraft carriers' hangars as banquet halls, what should most of the aircraft carriers do! ）

"The Skua is definitely the best fighter we have ever seen, with a longer range than our Hellcat, and more capable of fighting than the Spitfire of the British, which is nothing short of a miracle, and with him we can completely suppress the F19o fighters of the German naval aviation, and the interception efficiency of the twin aircraft has skyrocketed. It was also difficult for the Germans to inflict serious damage on our fleet with all their might. "While the others were partying outside, in the officers' cafeteria of the USS Essex, the bigwigs of the fleet gathered to analyze the outcome of the battle.

"Hmm. Agree. The Germans' rifles were still sharp, but their fighters could not provide sufficient cover, so if the difference in strength between the two sides was not very large when we met again, we could effectively fend off the attack. And judging by the reports of the pilots who participated in the war, the quality and starting ratio of the German pilots have decreased significantly. After three wars in a row. The Germans are already running out of stamina, so now there is only one problem. Will German aviation technology continue to develop rapidly, or will it enter a bottleneck period? Halsey asked.

After many wars, the Entente officials were also more sensitive to the technical level of both sides. No matter how well the campaign tactics are formulated, the key implementation depends on the quality of the combat personnel on both sides and the guys in their hands. In previous wars, the Entente did not have an initial advantage, but in the end they were defeated by the big problem of poor technical equipment. And in terms of tactics, in fact, the defensive tactics of the Entente are already very mature. Long-range early warning plus large-depth and multi-level interception. Fire control radar plus VT fuse shells over the fleet.

"It's entirely possible, judging from the wreckage of the F19o fighter we captured, the structure of the German air-cooled fighter is very compact, although there are still areas to be optimized in the aerodynamic layout, but overall the design is not bad. The biggest gap between them and us is motivation technology and jet fuel technology. Especially the air-cooled motor. There is a certain gap between us and us. The German Bm8o1 engine uses 96 petrol but the maximum output of 18oo hp, while our twin row 18 cylinder engine uses 115 petrol to achieve 23oo hp! But the Germans' liquid-cooled motive may have a more powerful model than the Bm8o1, and we can't take it lightly. Su Mo said on the side.

In short, the meaning of this passage is that everyone must not stop, the motivation must be studied quickly, and the optimization of the fighter must continue to be done, otherwise it will be difficult to say what the result will be next time!

"Our biggest problem is the attack, and it's a fluke that we got to that this time. The Germans were somewhat less capable of detection, were slow to react, and did not have sufficient reserves. The TBd4 bomber is indeed a bomb-carrying aircraft with a fierce attack power, but in general it is not suitable for the first wave of breakthroughs. Or that it is better to use it on 6 ground than at sea. The Germans were right in their thinking, to increase the overall penetration of the fleet and the use of precision-guided weapons. Perhaps the bomb load of the TBd4 bomber was comparable to that of the German twin aircraft, but it lacked heavy pylons. The inability to use guided weapons keeps us in a constant bottleneck in our attack power! I hope that you will report this to the United States Government. Ye Ming next to him said. In terms of technical work, he is stronger than Sumer!

Huaxia is already ready for the future because of the traverser, and a larger aircraft carrier is being outfitted, which can not only carry dual attack aircraft carrying guided weapons, but even prepare for jet aircraft that may be on board. Since everyone is an ally, by the way, it should be reminded that the US Navy should also be.

"Although we won this battle. But the Germans were not broken, and in future battles they also had the advantage of fighting on the inside front, and the entire Allied fleet could be concentrated and deployed in the Atlantic or Indian Ocean. After this battle, the Chinese navy will return to the Indian Ocean. Both our country and your country must have the strength to face the fleets of the Allies. Su Mo reminded.

If we say that the summary of China and the United States can be regarded as checking and filling in the gaps. If they are ready to make persistent efforts to create a better future, then the German Navy summed up in more depth, in addition to the technical gains and losses, they also had to revise the overall strategy, which not only affected the German High Seas Fleet, but also had a great impact on the overall strategy of the Allies.

"It's time for our plane to change. The F19OA fighter is no longer suitable for the current battlefield. The Chinese Ska dealt with our F19oa with as much ease as we did against the Americans' F4F. Fighter units were simply not able to escort bomber units to attack positions. And our defenses will have a hard time blocking the opponent's attacks. This time we were actually lucky. Their aircraft carriers do not yet have twin bombers and guided weapons. However, this situation will not last long, the new aircraft carriers of Huaxia and the United States are larger and more advanced, and there is no problem at all with dual attack aircraft, and we may not be so lucky next time. Raeder said.

"It's not just fighter technology, we have a big gap with the other side in all aspects, from electronic warfare in terms of tactics, reconnaissance, anti-submarine, all the way to logistics supply and maintenance at the strategic level. None of us are as good as our opponents. It was quite difficult for us to confront China, the United States, and Great Britain with the strength of Germany and Austria-Hungary, and the disparity in the material bases between the two sides made us almost hopeless. I don't quite know what the war potential of Germany was, but Austria-Hungary is now close to the limit. My aircraft carrier formation is better. And the air force has so far not made up for the losses of the French campaign. If Raeder's words only revealed an anxious mood, then Holdie's words revealed a deep pessimism.

Holdie had experienced World War I and had good performances, and it was definitely not a matter of luck to be able to become the commander of a country's navy. In addition to the tactical aspect, he also has a very deep understanding of the situation between the two sides. He was keenly aware of the fact that the Allies had taken advantage of the early advantage to push France out. By the time we stopped in the English Channel, the League's victory in the matter was close to its peak. In this series of battles, the Germans used up most of their pre-war reserves, and although the scale did not decrease but increased, they were already somewhat stretched in terms of personnel. Especially the pilots, whose reserves the Germans had exhausted for years during months of fighting. And the technical advantage at the beginning was also reversed by the other party. When China joined the battlefield, the balance of national strength between the two sides became even more unbalanced. And once Germany shows a hint of decline, I'm afraid Russia will also fall into the ground, right?

Jordi really wants to say, why don't you find a chance to meet and accept it! We have already earned this battle, if China, the United States and Britain can accept the German-Austrian control of the big 6 in Europe, then the truce will be over. Although this idea even Holdie felt a bit wishful thinking, there was really no hope for any further fighting.

After Jordy's words were spoken, he attracted the surprise and even faint hostility of the people around him. Such frustrating words came from the mouth of a soldier or an ordinary officer, and it was nothing, and everyone laughed at it. A few reprimands at most, but it would be shocking if it was said by someone like Haldy, who was in charge of a nation's army!

"Dear Marshal Jordy, I can understand your feelings and concerns. What I want to say is that winning and losing on the battlefield is a common thing, and we should not lose confidence in a battle. "Count Spee finally spoke." This will soon change, and our new generation of F19o fighters has entered the production stage, and when we go back, the German High Seas Fleet will be equipped with new aircraft. As an ally, we will liaise with the relevant authorities. Equip your navy with the same aircraft. In addition to fighters, there are better attack aircraft, radar sentry aircraft, and so on. In just a few months, our combat effectiveness will be raised to a notch. ”

Count Spee is definitely not joking, the Germans of this plane are still very serious and hard working in climbing the technology tree. Back at the beginning of the war. The Germans' new high-power liquid-cooled motors dB6o3 and Jumo 213 have begun to enter the bench test stage, and after the end of the French campaign, they can already be installed on the plane for testing, and now, the Count of Spee estimates that it should be about or maybe usable! Moreover, the F19o fighter was designed with the issue of liquid-cooled and air-cooled engines interchangeable. As soon as the better motivation came out, there were no problems with the structure of the aircraft.

Of course. No problem on the aircraft does not mean that everything is no problem, first of all, ground crews must learn how to maintain a liquid-cooled motor, at the beginning of the German aircraft carrier most of the air-cooled motor, after replacing the motor, maintenance and maintenance must also be improved, although the German liquid-cooled motor is quite good, but after all, it is more difficult to maintain than air-cooled, and because of the use of liquid-cooled motor, the nose of the aircraft will be extended, blocking the forward view, which is also a problem for take-off and landing. Only when the pilots and ground crews have adapted to these will the new carrier-based aircraft units be considered combat-ready!

However, Count Spee was still too optimistic about his own estimates, and what he didn't know was that because of the large consumption of the air force in the Battle of Britain, there was a huge hole in the replenishment of German pilots. In the case that the Luftwaffe Navy and Air Force consumed seventy-seven or eighty-eight of the reserve crews prepared in the past, the replenishment of the new pilots was far less than the consumption degree, and what was even more tragic was that it accompanied the actions of China in Asia. The pressure on the Luftwaffe increased dramatically. And the replenishment priority of the German Navy was further reduced. This led to a decline in the quality of German naval aviation!

The rest of the meeting was spent arranging the return flight. The main German fleet was to be divided into two parts, and the ships that were not injured, or less wounded, were to go to the bases on the west coast of France for repairs, and after completing the repair and maintenance, they would be on tactical duty. After the heavy repairs in Spain, the severely damaged warships will go to the German base camp in Crete for comprehensive repairs and improvements, and receive the first batch of new aircraft. As for the Austro-Hungarian fleet? If they want to go, just go!

When the crowd dispersed, Count Spee's trouble had just arrived, not because he was afraid that the Kaiser would find himself to settle accounts for the defeat of the battle after returning to the Kaiser. What he was most worried about was actually the same as Jordi, that is, how would the German Navy fight in the future? Don't look at what he said at the meeting, but the earl knew very well in his heart that after this battle, the gap between the two sides would widen! If the current Allied Combined Fleet can still allow the Entente to concentrate all their efforts on a single battle, then after a while, I am afraid that the American and British fleets or the Chinese and the remaining Italian and French fleets will be able to compete with the Allied fleets alone!

This is definitely not alarmist! Austria-Hungary no longer replenishes large aircraft carriers, and even more so Spain and Turkey. To put it mildly, as the battle continues, it may be difficult for these countries to even equip their aircraft carriers with carrier-based aircraft! The German Navy was much less replenished than its opponents. Large aircraft carriers are still under construction for three Caesar-class aircraft carriers, and although there are still some medium-sized aircraft carriers, according to current experience, the degree of loss is greater than the degree of construction. And with the shortage of other arms, the earl is also worried that the materials and personnel that the navy can get will be compressed!

To put it mildly, that is, the era of the Allied fleet taking the initiative to attack the Quartet of Great Wars is over, and all that remains is how to fill in the gaps everywhere as a mobile force! Neither of the Atlantic nor the Indian Ocean can be lost! As for Germany's next plan of action, it depends on the ideas of the Kaiser and the military leadership. Is it to continue to die in England? Or turn around and head east into India?
