Chapter 2092： Use bottom card

In this way, it is no problem to confirm the ship's type with the help of the seaplane in the air and the shore observation post. Although the accuracy of the train gun may not be high due to the relationship at night, no one wants to let his fleet be under the attack of the opponent's battleship and shore gun at the same time. This is half of the loss before the war!

As for you said that German battleships also have seaplanes, then send them out to find British railway guns? This is theoretically feasible, and there is indeed flares in shore artillery shooting, but the problem is that even if they find it, the British can also use the terrain to cover their shore artillery positions. You should know that the elevation angle of the rail artillery that is generally fully deployed is It is higher than the battleship, and the elevation angle of the battleship of the First World War is generally lower. Therefore, it may happen that the railway gun can reach the battleship, but the battleship cannot reach the shore gun. Even if it can, people can also use the terrain to avoid the attack, similar to a mortar. The principle of howitzer cannon.

As for you said that until daylight, the German bombers came to retaliate. This is another matter. Anyway, the shore artillery also completed its mission, and the British warship slipped back. The German interception failed. And once it fails, the British are prepared, and the probability of success next time is even lower.

All these things need to be accumulated in actual combat. If you experience more, you will naturally understand more. From this point of view alone, the German navy is not even stronger than the Americans. After deflating continuously, General Benson was also honest and began to quietly listen to other people's discussions.

"His Royal Highness, judging from the current situation, if we want to use capital ships to intercept the British fleet offshore, I am afraid it will be difficult, and there is no time. After all, the withdrawal of the British fleet should be close to dawn, and after daybreak, the United Kingdom The fleet can get the cover of the British naval air force, and if the position is relatively north, our air force support will be relatively weak." Admiral Scheer is also a little embarrassed, anyway, so far, as a commander of the naval battle fleet. Officer, he has no good way. Of course, if you want to say whether hard steel will work or not, in fact, it is also possible, that is, the risk and the return are not proportional...

"His Royal Highness, what are you thinking?" Ruprecht did not respond to Admiral Scheer's question. After waiting for two minutes, Scheer couldn't help it, so he asked again.

"I have a solution, and the probability of success is very high, but I have been considering whether it is worth using some cards too early." Ruprecht said.

"You mean our aircraft carrier?" Admiral Scheer asked.

"Yes, what battleships and land-based aviation can't do, aircraft carriers may not be impossible. As long as we use aircraft carriers, according to my plan, we have a probability of at least 70% or more to kill the British!" Ruprech Said very confidently.

"But the aircraft carrier also can't solve a series of problems such as time and the determination of interception targets." After hearing that Prince Ruprecht was preparing to use the aircraft carrier, Benson, who had just been honest for less than two minutes, regained his energy. This is what he cares most about. If it is a simple battleship bombardment, it is actually not that important. After all, the U.S. Navy has also experienced wars. Although it is the defeated party, the U.S. Navy has something to do in the Philippine naval battle. Remarkable performance. And even if they lost, the British had accumulated some experience. What's more, during the First World War, there were many battleships that the US Navy watched and participated in.

As for the discussion just now, because it involves mine warfare, night combat, and the integrated confrontation of fleet and shore artillery, this is not what the Americans have experienced. To say that the last time such a thing was experienced, I am afraid that it will be traced back to the Civil War.. ..... For these Benson and others, it is necessary to learn.

And now? Ruprecht is ready to use the aircraft carrier. To be honest, although the aircraft carrier has come out, it has never participated in a large-scale actual combat. Who knows how to use it? How's the effect? who knows? This can be described as groundbreaking. The historical status and the importance of experience can be described as unparalleled in previous naval battles. So, as soon as he heard this, Benson immediately became energetic.

"Can you talk about the specific tactics first?" Admiral Scheer said.

"Yes." Ruprech nodded, walked to the sand table and then picked up the putter and drew a circle in the coastal areas of France and Belgium. "The biggest problem with land-based aviation is actually the lack of time. The British fleet is up and down 35 kilometers per hour, and the bombers carrying a large number of bombs fly at only about 90 kilometers, and they can only be large-scale after dawn. Action. So, the British fleet has two to three hours to evacuate. This is more than 100 kilometers."

"It takes time for our carrier-based aircraft to attack, as well as time for tracking and attacking. Considering that we have to tie the voyage of more than 100 kilometers and the search time, the other party may have gone about 80 kilometers north. At this time, They have entered the defense range of the British naval air force, and this distance is a bit far for the aircraft carrying heavy torpedoes The hang time of bombers is very problematic, and the number of K8 bombers is limited. As for the fighter's cover, this is even more difficult."

"But if we use an aircraft carrier, we can greatly shorten the time. The reason is simple. We have a mobile airport! We can wait for the British fleet to come to our door in the predetermined sea area, which greatly shortens the time and distance of the attack. Even before the British land-based aviation forces had reacted, our bombs had already been thrown over the opponent's head. After all, even if Jericho dispatched a battleship, it was only the size of a detachment, four old-fashioned dreadnoughts. We. Five aircraft carriers, one attack is absolutely enough to beat this fleet." Crown Prince Ruprecht explained.

"Hiss..." Admiral Scheer took a deep breath, and after careful consideration, he found that the crown prince's statement really made sense. The mobile advantage of the aircraft carrier is too obvious. Although it is impossible to determine the specific route of the British fleet, the general direction is not wrong. After all, the British fleet must not dare to go to the open sea and can only evacuate to the north. The preset position of the aircraft carrier is easy to find. As long as you go to a suitable place to the north, protected by the German main fleet, you will be able to block the road where the British troops were withdrawn.

As for the threat of the Royal Navy Air Force? How do you say this? The current Royal Navy Air Force is only a defensive force, not an offensive force. To be clear, there are still some British fighter jets, but the experienced bomber pilots should be almost dead.
