Chapter 2467： Japanese final preparation five

2467 1

The design of the Sanjing Ship is not good, not to say that it cannot be used in actual combat. In fact, the 120mm rapid-fire gun on the side of the Sanjing Ship is still very useful. Absolute combat power cannot be considered low, but the biggest problem is that the French Ghanaian 320mm heavy artillery that has been so painstakingly installed is almost useless in actual combat. In order to install this heavy artillery, it occupies too much tonnage, resulting in poor defense and power. ……. Of course, this matter cannot be entirely blamed for nothing. The unrealistic demands made by the Japanese are the most fundamental reason...

But even so, even when Yamamoto Gonei once ridiculed that such a warship was armed with a blade and without armor, when Bai Laoyi left the Japanese navy after the expiration of his contract, the Japanese still respected him, at least There is no slander on the bright side, and the thanks and salary are also very sincere. You can say it is artificial and hypocritical, but no matter what, it is absolutely correct to get along with the "teacher" with this attitude. Especially when the teacher has real materials!

Does Betty have real stuff? That’s for sure. Maybe Betty’s level is not as good as a famous player, but at least it’s a mid-to-average level. In some respects, it’s absolutely superior. For example, to hángkōng mother The attention and vision of the ship. Is the Japanese navy capable of taunting Betty? Let's wash and sleep. If you switch to these guys, Ruprecht can end the war one year ahead of schedule! Leaving aside Betty’s accomplishments in commanding fast fleets, let’s say that his boldness and understanding of naval soldiers far surpasses the current Japanese!

"What advice did General Betty make?" Gonhei Yamamoto asked.

"First of all, his first opinion is that our number of pilots is too small, the training cycle is too long, and the recruitment is too small. He said that we are planting trees, but in actual combat, pilots are actually no different from artillery shells. It's a consumable, just like leeks, cut one stubble after stubble." Hayao Shimura said with a little embarrassment.

"Well, shouldn't it be a problem to engage in an elite training system?" Gonei Yamamoto couldn't bear it. In the Japanese military, especially the navy, they paid great attention to elite training. As for the navy's hángkōng soldiers, they demand the elite of the elite. Even in the early Japanese navy hángkōng soldiers, at least the lieutenant officers were required to serve as pilots! The elimination rate of Japanese pilots is very high. Ten people go in, and one or two successful ones will be great! This is why Japanese pilots also had a few brushes at the beginning.

But Betty is not optimistic about this so-called elite pilot training. The reason is simple. He knows that the so-called elite pilots can only gain tactical advantages in a short time! Whether a pilot can survive to the end is not only in his skills, but also in luck... Where can I not wet shoes when I often walk by the river? Look at the ace pilots of the British Royal hángkōng team, how many survived? Ten don't save one!

The cost of this so-called training system is that the cycle is too long and the number of pilots is seriously insufficient. After all, training is just training. The level of some people who have gone down may not be low, and their performance on the battlefield may not be bad! The battlefield is the real touchstone, and the ability to survive must be excellent, and of course luck! Therefore, after Betty arrived in the Japanese Navy, the first thing he did was to ask Japan to change the pilot training system. Except for some things that cannot be compromised, such as carrier-based aircraft taking off and landing, other aspects can be moderately relaxed and relaxed.

"Do you think what General Betty said makes sense?" Gonhei Yamamoto asked.

"There is a reason, you know, I prefer to research data and statistics. The combat effectiveness of elite pilots is indeed very high. Looking at the statistics of the British, we can find that more than 60% of the records actually account for less than 10% of the total. However, the average survival time of pilots is very limited. At the beginning, the survival time of British pilots was about 3 months or 30 combat flights. In the later stages, as the battlefield situation deteriorated, the average survival time of pilots The inventory time has been compressed to less than 40 days, and more than 80% of the pilots can't even survive 10 combat flights! If you look at this level, our pilots must not be able to replenish the speed enough." said Yasuo Shimura.

"Hey, although we call ourselves an empire, we are still far behind the real powers such as the German Empire and the British Empire. The Germans prepared before the war. They have a lot of resources to train enough pilots. The British can also survive the tragic war of attrition for more than two years, but we really lack sufficient resources. We can't even support the average engine." Yamamoto Gonhei said with a sigh. The words are full of helplessness!

To put it bluntly, the current war is fighting national power! Compared with the real first-line powers, Japan is poor, and it is poor in technology. This question cannot be avoided. It can be seen that the problem proves that Betty has a certain level, but if you can see the problem and cannot solve it, it will still be nothing. In Yamamoto's opinion, this problem is difficult to solve. Japan also wants to train pilots on a large scale, but now Japan's resources are limited, not only the problem of money and equipment, but also the problem of people!

The Germans had already started playing hángkōng clubs before World War I, although these clubs all used gliders. The British are not so early, but there are so many people driving! Many people have been exposed to new technologies, but what about Japan? Cars are also a privilege mark of the Chinese. Jiǔchéng Nine Flight Academy had never been in contact with a car before re-entering the school This personnel base is incomparable. Therefore, Japan has no choice now.

"Regarding this problem, General Betty proposed a solution. After our research, we think there is some truth." Shimamura said. "General Betty believes that the Japanese hángkōng forces are not capable of launching large-scale offensives. If they want to last longer, they must put their limited hángkōng forces into the production of fighter jets. The same is true for pilot training. All ground attacks can be cancelled. Except for a small number of bombers reserved for backup, the main focus is to train fighter pilots, as is the case with carrier-based aircraft crews," said Yasuo Shimura.

"The hángkōng motherships of the Germans and the British are used as swords for offensive purposes, but can the hángkōng mothership in our hands only be used as shields? This idea is a bit shocking." Yamamoto Kenbei was very surprised by Betty's thoughts. After all, in this era, the powerful attack power of the hángkōng mothership has been revealed. In the original plan, the Japanese Navy also regarded the hángkōng mothership as a killer to turn the tide of war!
