"Father, Your Excellency Marshal. It suddenly occurred to me that our navy needs another type of warship. If we can build a batch, this will be a good way for our navy to improve its strength." Here When the conversation was about to end, Qin Tian said suddenly.
"Oh? Oscar, what warship?" William II and Marshal Count Tirpitz were both attracted. They are also extremely eager to enhance the strength of the navy.
"Destroy the battleship!" Qin Tian said.
"Destroying the warship? Your Royal Highness, you mean the warship that launched an attack on the British sea transportation line?" Marshal Earl Tirpitz frowned.
"Yes, Your Excellency, Marshal. As the name suggests, a warship that breaks engagement is a warship that specializes in attacking the enemy's communication lines. Especially for an island country like Britain, it is a deadly threat. Although Britain's industry is developed, it is absolutely Most of the materials need to be transported by sea. At the same time, all kinds of industrial products produced need to be transported to other places by sea. Once our warships destroy their sea transportation lines, it will be a big problem for the British. It will be a fatal blow. Their industrial products cannot be shipped out, and the resources they need cannot be shipped in. Even the food that meets the needs of the domestic people cannot be shipped back to the country. Under such circumstances, can they continue to fight us? Even food can’t be satisfied, such a British Empire will probably collapse soon!” A smile appeared on Qin Tian’s face.
Encirclement and suppression of sea transportation lines is undoubtedly fatal for island countries. In another time and space, both the German Second Reich and the Third Reich used such tactics. It's just that they lack level warships and can only use submarines. Although the British suffered extremely heavy losses, after the British increased their investment in **** warships, the effect that submarines could achieve was very limited. If in this time and space, Germany can invest a large number of destroyers and cut off the British sea transportation line, this will help Germany quickly win the war.
"It's a good idea, and the navy has thought of it. However, Britain is not far away from us, so there is no need to build a dedicated battleship. Ordinary battleships and cruisers can take on this task." William II shook his head. Shake your head. In his view, the German navy is currently in short supply, and all funds should be used wisely, and there is no need to waste them.
"Father, it is true that ordinary warships can be used to carry out the battle of breaking diplomatic relations. However, let us not forget that the British also have a huge navy. Their battleships and cruisers are certainly not as powerful as ours. However, in terms of numbers , but it is far ahead of us. If we send battleships and cruisers to carry out the task of breaking the border, we will only fall into the situation of being besieged by them. What's more, every one of our battleships is precious, if it is lost because of it , that would be a pity." Qin Tian explained.
William II and Marshal Count Tirpitz nodded repeatedly, approving Qin Tian's statement.
"Your Highness, do you have any suggestions on this?" Asked Marshal Count Tirpitz. Obviously, he has been persuaded by Qin Tian. Although the navy's current budget is very tight, if it is possible to build a warship that is conducive to the German navy's victory over the British, it should tighten its belt to build it. After all, everything they do has only one purpose, and that is to win this war.
"Your Excellency, Marshal, we need a battleship with fast speed and powerful firepower. As for the defense, it is best to improve it. In this way, when our warships attack the enemy's sea transportation lines, they will be relatively It is relatively calm. Once you encounter the enemy's siege, you can easily escape with the advantage of speed. If the enemy sends cruisers to pursue them, even if their cruisers can catch up with our destroyer by virtue of their speed advantage. However, in Under the powerful firepower of our destroyer, their behavior is completely for us." Qin Tian smiled.
"Yes, such a warship does have a great advantage in conducting break-through operations." William II nodded.
"Father, I named this type of destroyer a battlecruiser, which is a battleship between a battleship and a cruiser. Its firepower is comparable to that of a battleship, and its speed is not inferior to that of a cruiser. In terms of defense, it is better than a cruiser. The battleship is slightly inferior, but it is much more powerful than the cruiser. The small-caliber artillery of the cruiser will not pose a fatal threat to it at all."
"His Royal Highness means that this kind of battleship called a battleship cruiser is a battleship that the enemy's battleships can beat but cannot catch up, and the cruiser can catch up but cannot fight." Marshal Earl Tirpitz said with a smile.
"That's right, that's it. Of course, even if our battlecruisers are weak in defense, they are no worse than the British battleships. The British battleships are too pursuing firepower and speed, so that in terms of limited displacement, In order to increase firepower and speed, we can only underestimate defense. Therefore, the defense of our battlecruisers can completely surpass their battleships. In this case, it may not be impossible to confront them. Of course, in order to preserve our own strength as much as possible, Battlecruisers should try their best to avoid confrontation with enemy battleships," Qin Tian said.
The biggest role of the battlecruiser is to attack the enemy's sea transportation line, and to bully the enemy's destroyers and cruisers, such small and medium-sized warships, rather than to fight against the enemy's battleships on the battle line.
"Your Majesty, this proposal from His Royal Highness is very good, pointing out another way for us to develop the navy. Although, I think the decisive factor in naval warfare is still the battleship defeating the enemy. However, the cooperation of battlecruisers is also essential. , This can give us a greater advantage in the war. At the same time, we also have more cards." Marshal Earl Tirpitz said.
If the battlecruisers of the German Navy were dispatched at the beginning of the war to attack the British sea transportation lines, it would not only weaken the British's war potential, but also deal a blow to their morale, making the British have to carefully consider whether they should Go to war. In this case, Germany can buy more time.
King William II nodded: "It seems that the battlecruiser is also a warship that our navy must have."
