Chapter 1140
"If there is no problem, then get ready to start. I can't wait now. I really want to know whether our Bavarian crown prince will win as always in this gamble." The Kaiser listened to Tirpitz's response to the whole Said after the introduction of the exercise process.
Regarding this exercise, the Kaiser was actually thinking about watching the excitement. What if the effect of this exercise is really bad? Did you swallow the foam you spit out? What do you think? There are no more than two cruise ships that are parked in the port and cannot go to sea. It will be dismantled. If you change it, you will spend some money on it, but this is for the relationship between the two countries and the face of the Bavarian Army. Anyway, the Kaiser has figured it out now, as long as the prince agrees to transfer a complete Bavarian army from the Eastern Front, then this little money is really nothing....
As for the aircraft, how many more than 100 can be installed on the two aircraft carriers? You know, there are more than 6,000 planes in the German Army on the Guangxi Line. Counting the training aircraft on the eastern line and the rear, reaching 5 digits is not a dream. It's okay to dial out a bit. (In history, at the end of World War I, the number of German first-line aircraft was more than 5,000.)
As for whether this exercise can achieve surprising results, to be honest, the Kaiser has nothing to expect. One reason is that the first exercise was not considered a success. On the other hand, he still doesn't know much about the Air Force, and it's impossible to have a deep understanding from paper and battle reports.
"Ruprecht, let's go, let us board the flagship of the High Seas Fleet and observe this exercise up close. We can take a gamble, and everyone in this room can also give it a try?" Let go, and finally get rid of the worries of the Western Front temporarily. The Kaiser really wants to enjoy life.
And just in the officer's restaurant of the Bavaria, headed by the Kaiser, when a group of high-level Germans were looking at the exercise with a game of attitude. In the distance, less than 3 kilometers away from the Bavaria, the battleship Saxony was making final preparations, and Major General Becken personally stood on the bridge to confess the mission. Next to him, there is a referee team, which is used to determine that the two sides have not violated the rules. Well, it is mainly to determine that Major General Becken will not violate the rules, such as exceeding the speed limit or exceeding the power limit.
To tell the truth, if you want to simulate a British battleship, you can not only limit the speed, but also limit the power. After all, the power required for a straight line of 20 knots and a speed of 20 knots when turning are completely different. Therefore, the power of the battleship Saxony is limited to 22,000 horsepower. But one-third of the maximum horsepower!
"To be honest, the feeling of being passively beaten is really bad. I regret it now. Even if they can't kill us, those guys who buzz in the air all day are too hateful." Major General Becker was somewhat helpless to himself. General Scheer said.
Up to now, Major General Becker feels that he is at a disadvantage. Whether or not the opponent actually kills himself in the exercise, for example, a mosquito is at best uncomfortable regardless of infectious diseases. These planes looked like swarms of mosquitoes to Major General Becker, and they looked disturbing. And even if the maneuvers were won, what if the Saxon survived? A battleship of 60 million marks survived the attack of dozens of aircraft worth less than 20,000 marks. What is there to be proud of? Would a tiger be complacent because he was not killed by dozens of mosquitoes? What do you think? It's not shameful enough to say it!
"Don’t underestimate these airplanes. Prince Ruprecht’s military judgment has never been missed. Just imagine those airplanes as torpedo boats that can move in the air at a high speed of more than 50 knots. Then, I want you to treat them. There will be a clearer understanding." Lieutenant General Sher seemed to see the disdain and contempt in the opponent's eyes, and kindly reminded him.
"There are some truths, but I feel that if those aerial wooden bookshelves can really replace the tightly manufactured and shooting complex naval guns, then our previous efforts are not all in vain? We can obviously solve our opponents at the cost of a knife, then Why do you need a sharp sword?" Major General Becken said.
"What you said is right, and you are not right." The prince said after hearing the words of Major General Becken. The emergence of aircraft carriers has indeed gradually swept battleships into the garbage dump of history, but the price of aircraft carriers is by no means cheap. From an economic point of view, the aircraft carrier’s fighters are composed of the aircraft carrier itself and the carrier-based aircraft. In terms of time, the truly formed aircraft carrier strategy and tactics will take more than ten years to perfect!
"Well, the exercise is about to begin, let the personnel be in place." Scheer said after looking at the wall clock on the bridge. Three minutes later, accompanied by four light cruisers, the battleship Bavaria, which was loaded with a high-level German delegation, also entered the designated position. At this moment, the two battleships were sailing to the northeast in a nearly parallel attitude. In order to prevent the wrong target during the exercise. As the target ship, the Saxon also painted a huge X with paint on the stern as an identification mark.
"The attack fleet has 15 minutes to arrive." When an officer informed the bosses in the Bavarian bridge of the progress of the exercise, everyone including the Kaiser immediately got up and walked towards the glass window in the bridge. And the prince left the bridge directly and came to the deck. At this time, he could clearly feel that he was nervous. He had never been so nervous when he was fighting with the British fleet. A cold sweat broke out on his palm, while Hipper secretly handed the prince a handkerchief~www.novelhall. com~ You seem to be nervous. "Shippel said.
"A little bit, in my opinion, the significance of this exercise is greater than that of Thunder-Surbrus. That battle only gave us a temporary advantage, and this time, we will be in charge of the trident in the hands of the sea god!" Hipper, who is also from Bavaria, said.
"Ruprecht, as for? Your performance is a little bit beyond my expectations." Accompanied by everyone, the Kaiser walked slowly. After saying hello, he looked in the direction where the plane was about to fly in the distance.
"I still remember the time when the Bavarian Air Force's bomber formation flew over my head for the first time in that exercise. I can feel their power, but I can't see their power at close range for the first time. It's a pity, and I hope I can make up for it this time." The Kaiser continued on his own.
"As you wish." The prince pointed his finger in the distance. "They are here!"
