"From today on, the era when the British dominated the oceans is completely over, and the German High Seas Fleet can finally go to the world's oceans and become a veritable high seas fleet. Marshal Scheer's greetings in the Norwegian naval battle have become a reality, but Jericho has

Failed! This is a great era, a

Let the German Navy spread the influence of the great motherland to the world! Our fleet will go to the Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea, the Indian Ocean, and eventually expand its influence to the entire Africa, West Asia and the South Asian subcontinent!" When the news of the signing of the treaty reached Berlin

Tirpitz said excitedly.

The Germans have the same naval tonnage as the British, but their actual combat effectiveness is much higher than the other side. Generally speaking, Germany is dominant in terms of battleships. Although there are fewer 15-inch guns, Germany can have 4 ships.

There are battleships equipped with 16-inch guns, but the British can only have two! Aircraft carriers are a new type of ship, and neither side has any experience to follow, and the British must transform two fast battleships from the beginning.

To build an aircraft carrier, there will definitely be various problems, and the Germans can start with small aircraft carriers, accumulate experience, and then build large aircraft carriers. According to the news obtained from other channels, China will also adopt a small-step approach to development.

Their own aircraft carrier. Although it would be embarrassing to follow the footsteps of others, the Germans decided to be more pragmatic this time. They would first see how big the aircraft carrier built by China was, and then they would imitate it themselves.

What's more important is that throughout Europe, the Allied fleets can stick together! Although the Allies have the upper hand in overall strength, the United States is far away on the other side of the Atlantic. It also has to take into account the deterrence of China. It's a bit far away and water can't quench the thirst of the near.

And from deep down, the German and U.S. navies look down upon them, thinking that they are just a group of guys who have a lot of excellent equipment but don't know how to use it. "The U.S. Navy

There are few people in the army who can shoulder heavy responsibilities. The British have Jericho and Thomas, we have Scheer and Sippel, and the Chinese have all talented people, while the United States has only one Magiffin, and Magiffin's power is subject to multiple restrictions.

The training level of the troops is also relatively low, which makes it difficult for them to take advantage of advanced equipment." In an internal publication of the German Navy, the Germans commented on the quality of the U.S. Navy.

As the head of the German Navy, Tirpitz will soon leave this post as time goes by. Before returning home to retire, he needs to discuss the issues with his successor, Marshal Scheer, about Germany's future in the next ten years.

The navy's development strategy sets a tone.

"In the future, there is no need for the High Seas Fleet to leave too much force in the North Sea. The North Sea is too small. We can only rely on the air force to drive the British away from our territorial waters. We have all seen the threat of aviation power to the fleet. The British

People will not be stupid enough to use fleets to compete with our land-based aviation power. The future of the navy is in the Mediterranean, the center connecting the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean! We can get help from our allies here, and the entire Allied fleet will gather together to form

An irresistible force that simultaneously controls

Entering the Mediterranean Sea is equivalent to cutting off Britain's connection with the East. This is very helpful for the implementation of the next national strategy, and even if the Americans interfere with our actions, we can rely on the forward bases in the Mediterranean Sea and Spain to concentrate our superior forces to eliminate those coming from afar.

The U.S. fleet, and the submarines tasked with breaking diplomatic ties will also have better room for development. After all, we can use Spain as our submarine base!" Scheer revealed his plan after careful consideration. And this plan made Titus

Erpitz was shocked.

The core of this plan is to deploy most of the main fleet to the Mediterranean. This plan is more radical than Tirpitz's plan to establish a powerful Mediterranean fleet! According to the original idea, Tirpitz required the main German navy in the Mediterranean in the future

The ships accounted for at least 30% of the total tonnage. Although Scheer did not reveal his plan,

The specific share in the plan, but he kept mentioning the main fleet, which means that at least about 70% of the force must be deployed in the Mediterranean. Germany does not have any ports or territories in the Mediterranean and can only rely on its allies, which will affect the fate of the country.

It has to be said that it is very bold to put the power of the allies within the control of the allies.

"In fact, it is not that dangerous. The Austro-Hungarian Empire is our strongest ally. Without our support, the Austrians would not even be able to persist until the end of World War 1. Economically speaking, Germany's control has reached all aspects within the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Germany also has an overwhelming advantage in terms of military strength. The Austro-Hungarian Empire has no reason or ability to betray us. The same is true for Turkey. We have built railways to various provinces in Turkey.

We control the transportation lifeline that they rely on for survival. If the Spaniards want to keep their Cuba, they must rely on us. As for the Italians?" After saying this, Sherpa paused, because he knew that the rest of the words would be heartbreaking.

! "They are already wavering, so we have to use absolute power to tell them what is the right thing to do! If the strength is too low, it will not be enough to deter the opponent! Tycho also has two tricks, and we cannot be too contemptuous."

"And from the perspective of the role of the navy, only the fleet can cut off the opponent's maritime transportation and supply lines across the sea, and at the same time control the ocean to transport supplies for us. This is the ultimate goal of the navy. The German fleet in the North Sea can only defend

At our doorstep, we can't even land in the UK. The reason is very simple. Landing in the UK means fighting the Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force at the same time. We don't have this capability. The British are better than us in the aviation industry, so we can use the army.

It is difficult to solve France, but it is difficult to solve Britain with the navy! The war with Britain will be long-term, and the best way is to cut off the sea transportation line of this island country. In order to achieve this goal, our navy must get out of the fish pond of the North Sea.

Go and join up with the allies in the south. Whether it is Spain, Italy or the Balkans, there are many excellent military ports, and after more than ten years of preparation, these ports will be enough to provide various support for the High Seas Fleet." Scheer continued to explain.

road.

Tirpitz admitted that doing so would indeed gain a great strategic advantage. The entire Allied fleet was concentrated in the Mediterranean, which would provide a certain advantage over the Allied navy. And it would also be very convenient to support the Empire's offensive in South Asia. And indeed it is.

Scheer said that the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Turkey were very reliable, but Italy really needed to be deterred. However, this was a very long process, and it was difficult to convince Germany.

In addition to the emperor agreeing to his plan, Germany also needs to build a large number of bases and docks in the Mediterranean. Although Italy's port facilities are sufficient to maintain current and upcoming warships, Germany needs to build in the Balkan Peninsula out of precaution against Italy.

A series of facilities. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs also needs to come forward to obtain the lease rights of certain ports. Of course, the most important thing is how to integrate the entire Allied fleet!

Some are happy and some are sad. Just when the German Navy is formulating an ambitious plan to go south, the proud Royal Navy must also lower its noble head and carefully plan for the future maritime security of the British Empire. If 10 years ago, someone would

To say that the British Empire's navy will no longer have its former glory may be regarded as

It's a joke. At that time, the British Empire was the standard for two powers, but now the British Navy can only rank second with Germany. This has to be said to be a very ironic thing, but we must persevere no matter how difficult it is. Britain

Although the navy suffered heavy losses, it still had the courage and determination to defend the dignity and interests of the empire!

In the future, the Royal Navy has to focus on two directions, one of which is naturally the security of the homeland, and the other is the security of India and Myanmar. India is not only a raw material market and product dumping ground, but also provides important

human resources! After World War 1, if the Germans wanted to expand, then India would be an excellent direction. The Allies were closer to India than the British! The British did not know the plans of the German Navy, but the British were sure of the German Navy.

He will form a Mediterranean fleet and then take a group of younger brothers to deal with India!

Therefore, the United Kingdom must strengthen its presence in the South Asian subcontinent, especially the defense forces in the entire west. According to the plan of the British Ministry of Defense, the United Kingdom will use Persia as a buffer zone, and then establish a land defense line along the border between the two sides. At the same time, it will build a land defense line in India.

A large number of airports can be used to station more air forces and recruit more local Indian soldiers to join the defense of the colonies.

However, the land defense line alone cannot make the British feel at ease. At the same time, a capable and powerful Indian Ocean fleet must be established to rely on land-based aviation power to block the Germans' passage into South Asia from the sea, while ensuring the route from Britain to India.

The traffic should be smooth, especially to guard against German submarines. These scary little guys caused huge damage to Britain in the last war.

The Naval Armaments Conference and the attrition of the war completely reversed the dominance of the British navy. Whether it was nationally or politically, it has become an established fact that Britain cannot stand alone against the powerful maritime superiority of the Allies. Even pulling in France is far from enough.

, joining forces with the United States has become inevitable,

The alliance is not without cost, and without sufficient benefits, the U.S. fleet will not help Britain against the Allies in vain. Therefore, Britain must open some important military bases to the United States, and even some key islands will be leased to the United States. Of course,

It’s very particular about which islands you rent.

For example, the British islands in the Pacific must not be given to the United States. That would arouse China's suspicion. The entire Western Pacific has been regarded by China as its own sphere of influence. The entry of any other big country will be regarded as a hostile act. China is in the original

The British were frightened by the fierceness with which they fought against the United States over the German Pacific colonies. But now, as the Allies have gained a greater advantage, China is actually

As the country's military power continues to rise, such an unwise provocation to China is definitely seeking its own death! If China completely falls to the Allies, then the Allies will have no chance of winning. The United States can rely on the protection of the two oceans to survive alone, but what about Britain and France?

Therefore, when the United Kingdom sought support from the United States, the benefits it provided were carefully considered, such as the Diego Garcia Island in the Indian Ocean.
