Chapter 1674： Navy proposal one

Chapter 1674 The Navy's proposal (1)

"His Royal Highness, Admiral Scheer and Rear Admiral Rodhart have arrived in Sofia. Is it convenient for you to see them now?" When the prince had just had breakfast and was about to start his day's work, the delegation of the German High Seas Fleet in Bavaria Major General Reinhardt, the head of the army, came to the prince under the guidance of the guards.

"Well, tell Admiral Scheer that I will meet them here at 2 o'clock this afternoon." Ruprecht thought for a while and said, although the prince does not command the navy now, and recently, the relationship between Bavaria and Prussia is not So harmonious. But after all, Ruprecht still holds the title of Marshal of the Navy and the post of Director of Naval Operations.

If there is no large-scale battle, then Marshal Tirpitz and Admiral Scheer, who is commander-in-chief of the High Seas Fleet, can handle daily tasks very well, such as submarine break-through operations, fleet training, and preparations for aircraft carrier detachments. These were carried out in an orderly manner in accordance with the previous agreement. Encountering various things is just a telegram, and now, Admiral Scheer actually came to the prince’s headquarters in person, and without warning, this is intriguing, and it can explain that this matter is definitely not small. Otherwise, Admiral Scheer would definitely not come in person.

Although the other major general Rodhart is not high in rank, this major general is the commander of the entire high seas fleet's carrier-based aircraft force. All the aircraft on the five aircraft carriers are under his control, not only for daily training, but even He is even responsible for the specific implementation of the battle plan, and this person also came here with Admiral Scheer, the meaning behind that is intriguing.

"Could it be that you can't help it so soon?" The prince frowned slightly, with some dissatisfaction in his heart. According to the prince's plan, how can the decisive battle with the British fleet wait until his wife becomes the queen, and the political changes within Germany are over. Now, the prince does not have enough thoughts to consider a decisive battle with the United Kingdom in the North Sea. Moreover, in terms of time, it is still early. The sea conditions in the North Sea in winter are worse and are not suitable for aircraft carrier operations. If the aircraft carriers are eliminated, the high seas fleet has the greatest advantage. But it's gone.

"Forget it, I don't want to do that much. Let's see what they are doing here." The prince packed up his mood and continued to work. At the same time, Marshal Scheer and Major General Rodhart were preparing for today after being notified. Prepare for the afternoon meeting. And there was a man who came with these two German generals. This man was a U.S. Navy lieutenant colonel. Now, this buddy is still silent, but in later generations, they are also famous. He is the back of the Battle of Pearl Harbor. General Guo Xia Jinmeier!

The lieutenant colonel is currently serving as the German-US naval liaison officer and is responsible for matters related to carrier-based aircraft. Because of a brain-inspired idea, the lieutenant colonel and two German naval generals came together, and because the people were quiet, so When the German navy liaison personnel reported to the prince, he was not mentioned. And the next generation of General Jin is also not qualified to come and meet Ruprecht with two German generals.

"If your purpose is to make a conclusion with the British this winter, you can go back now. The navy can decide the fate of the two military groups in one day. Therefore, before there is sufficient preparation, I will never act rashly. We only have one chance." After a brief greeting, the prince immediately cut to the point. He must interrupt any impetuous emotions in the Navy. Therefore, there is no mercy in language.

"His Royal Highness, we are not trying to change the plan you made before. At present, both the training of aircraft carriers and the formation of carrier-based aircraft forces are proceeding in an orderly manner, and almost all capital ships are performing missions in the Baltic Sea. We are doing very well, and we are not ready to go to war with the British now." Sher, who felt that the prince had a bad temper today, immediately served him softly. For the admiral who will win almost every battle, and a future king, Scheer doesn't think it is shameful to be so soft...

"Then what is the purpose of your coming today?" The prince leaned against the chair, changed a more comfortable posture, and asked with interest.

"We are here today. The most important question is about the attack efficiency of carrier-based aircraft forces and the attack process of the entire aircraft carrier battle group." Scheer said carefully.

"Fuck. This topic is a bit big." This is the first reaction of the prince, and the second reaction is that if you have any questions, you directly go to the commander of the carrier-based aviation team! Isn't this guy next to him? And he was a commander from the Air Force of the Kingdom of Bavaria, who used both air combat and sea attack. You came over and asked me what I was doing? !

"We have done a lot of exercises and experiments, but still feel that it is not enough. We can simulate reconnaissance, simulated sea attacks, and air defense operations, but there is a huge gap between the whole process and actual combat. For example, we use bombs to attack target ships. In actual combat, it is impossible for the enemy's warship to have no air defense firepower. The British fighters will also intercept, and the warship will also be damaged after being hit. Therefore, there is a big gap between exercises and actual combat." Major General Rodhart Said carefully.

"So, you are going to try it once? Is that so?" The prince said a little displeased In fact, Major General Rodhart made a lot of sense. The difference between exercises and actual combat is too great. , The so-called practice is the only criterion for testing truth, and you will know if the combat power is enough for a round on the battlefield.

If conditions permit, the prince also wants to find a target to experiment. But it’s a pity that in the North Sea, the two sides are almost always collective operations of large fleets. It is almost impossible for you to find a single battleship and try it once. Moreover, although in theory, it is too late for the British to violently attack the carrier, but for For the sake of safety, the prince is still unwilling to expose his secret weapon prematurely!

"We need to do an experiment, a small-scale experiment that includes all elements of reconnaissance, guidance, and attack. To test our naval aviation combat effectiveness. Your Majesty, even if you follow the timetable given by you, we only have 3 to 3 4 months of preparation time, and during this time, even if the British improve, it is too late." Major General Rodhart said.

"Go on, tell all your plans." The prince said calmly. He is starting to be a little interested in this plan now. Rodhart dared to say this plan under the circumstances that he put forward many restrictions. It shows that this matter is very meaningful!
