Although they both belong to the tropics, the scenery in French Guiana is still different from that in southern China. (Okay, the southern part here has expanded to the Indonesian Islands.) The beautiful and exotic scenery made Su Mo, who had just experienced a long war and was extremely exhausted physically and mentally, feel...

Very satisfied, but this satisfaction did not last long. After a short vacation, he needed to summarize the experience of this battle. This was the first battle between the Allied Powers and the main force of the German navy, and its significance and value were extraordinary.

!

"German fleet operations have formed a complete system. Although from a technical point of view, the German subsystems are somewhat different from our highest level, the Germans have obviously integrated various systems of naval warfare and accumulated considerable experience. my country and the United States and the United Kingdom have rich practical experience. This is beyond the reach of our country and the United States and the United Kingdom. The British fleet is far smaller than that of Germany due to restrictions on national power.

Although the United States has a large fleet and strong national power, its most serious shortcoming is its protected aircraft carriers (aircraft carriers without armored flight decks). If the combat effectiveness of the navies of the United States, the United Kingdom, and the United Kingdom is compared, the actual combat effectiveness of the German navy should be

Slightly stronger than the U.S. Navy and far superior to the British Navy." At the beginning of the report, Sumer commented on the combat effectiveness of the three navies.

"Sea warfare is still an effective asymmetric method. The efficiency of cooperation between submarines and surface warships is very high. The German Navy spent such a price to deal with a small fleet in the North Atlantic, and it only temporarily contained it.

From the perspective of the opponent's large number of troops, surface combatants are very valuable in breaking engagements. A sophisticated engagement-breaking warship can completely target

It will have a great impact on the battlefield. But unfortunately, once the war starts, we will need to deal with the Germans' anti-diplomatic operations. The Allied Powers rely much more on sea transportation than the Central Powers. We should learn from the German anti-diplomatic operations.

Lessons learned, such as the cooperation between camouflaged reconnaissance ships and ocean-going reconnaissance aircraft." Sumer then expressed his concerns in the telegram.

"From the perspective of sea-based aviation power, both the United Kingdom and the United States have very obvious shortcomings, but the German sea-based aviation power is relatively balanced. The British Spitfire fighter is indeed excellent. In terms of performance, it is better than the German BF109t fighter

It's better. But unfortunately, the flight range is too short, even unbearable.

To describe. This will inevitably limit the combat radius of the aircraft carrier. Although the American F4F fighter has a long enough range, its performance is really beyond praise. If the carrier-based fighters of the United Kingdom and the United States have their own advantages and disadvantages compared with Germany, then

In terms of attack aircraft, the various attack aircraft currently in service in the United Kingdom and the United States are not as good as those of Germany.

JU90 attack aircraft, the latter is faster and has a large bomb load. It is also a bombing and lightning strike dual-purpose aircraft with excellent versatility. It is the best attack aircraft besides my country's current Seagull carrier-based attack aircraft. "!" When he saw this paragraph, Xu Jie almost couldn't help but curse! "You naughty kid, seagulls can

It’s a pirated pirate that I created! Is this a fighter jet? Although I haven’t found a suitable engine yet. But it will come out sooner or later. Although pirates in the later stages of history also did some air raid business, but other people’s

The main business is air combat! I have shot down a jet aircraft on the Korean battlefield!"

However, the only thing that allowed Xu Jie to save some face was that Su Mo mentioned in the subsequent report that the pirate was still very strong. If there was a suitable engine, the performance would be significantly improved. At the end of the report, Su Mo still said

Large quantities of equipment in the U.S. Navy

They expressed concerns about the unarmored and lightly armored aircraft carriers prepared by the USS Persia. This time, the performance of the Persian made Sumer a little scared. Sumer was not willing to use such a weak aircraft carrier as his base ship again. Although the Americans' protected aircraft carriers are larger,

It is also more resistant to explosions, but armor

The board is still made of wood, and it is not an exaggeration to say that a few bombs have disabled the aviation capability. In Sumer's opinion, even if the damage caused by the 500kg bomb is repaired with the damage tube that Americans are proud of, the trauma caused by the 500kg bomb cannot be easily solved.

, after all, once this bomb is fired, twenty

A big hole measuring several meters square appeared! Although the Americans' later Essex-class aircraft carriers covered the flight deck with a thin layer of armor plates, Sumer believed that this was still not enough. Facing a 500kg semi-armor-piercing projectile, it was better than nothing.

!Wear it anyway!

When China is summing up its experience and lessons, the Germans are doing the same thing. This confrontation is an opportunity for China to understand its opponent. And why is it not an opportunity for the Germans? As the attacker, the Germans have a deep understanding of this battle.

Learn more. “We are in line with our opponents in terms of electronic warfare.

There are some gaps." Consider that not long ago, Count Spey was secretly mocking the poor performance of the German Air Force's electronic warfare unit in the air battle between the two rivers. Today, the Navy was tricked by its opponent. Although the final result was not bad.

It's acceptable, but the process is a bit embarrassing.

The Germans do have some level of mechanical proficiency, but there is a certain gap between them and the Allied countries in terms of electronic technology. There are reasons for the degree of emphasis and reasons for the background. This time the Germans finally gave in to electronic technology. They admit that they have the same specifications.

The technical level of German electronic equipment is weaker than that of its opponents. But admitting it does not mean doing nothing! The Germans believe that I am not as good as you in quality, but I have more than you in quantity.

Assistance strives to find the gap between the two sides! The Germans made up for the quality gap by adding more powerful and more electronic equipment to the electronic warfare aircraft. And what is unexpected is that the Germans actually built it in advance

Although the magnetron is still a long way from being used, it is much better than the German electronic technology in history! You must know that the Germans did not come up with microwave radar until 1944!

In addition to electronic warfare, this naval battle also had a profound impact on the combat philosophy of the German aircraft carrier formation. The BF109 fighter is not considered the best carrier-based aircraft, and its range is still somewhat short. Although the theoretical load is acceptable, in practice

The maneuverability of the bf109 fighter jet deteriorates sharply when fuel tanks or bombs are attached to the small body. At the same time, the vulnerability of the liquid-cooled engine causes the aircraft engine part to basically return once it is hit.

It is not within the control range of its own fleet. Therefore, the German sea-based aviation force has an increasingly strong demand for air-cooled engines. What makes the German Navy happy is that the BMW 801, the only mature air-cooled high-power engine in Germany in history, has finally been designed.

Finalization. The fw190 fighter jets are finally about to enter small-scale mass production, so that some fw190 fighter jets have already entered the army and been stationed on the front line for actual combat testing.

Finally, the German naval aviation system, which was invincible in the early stages of World War II, began to enter the final stage of improvement. The fw190t fighter (the sea-based version of the fw190a), the fw190f bomber, and the bf111 maritime twin-engine multi-purpose aircraft equipped with the bmw801 engine finally

land

It continues to be successfully developed. What is particularly noteworthy is that the bf111 maritime twin-engine aircraft is a large family, including dive bombers, torpedo aircraft, radar sentry aircraft, anti-submarine aircraft and electronic warfare aircraft. This series of aircraft allows the German Navy aircraft carrier formation to leave the shore.

After the base aviation, a complete combat system can still be formed!

The arrival of a large number of twin-engine aircraft has also caused a further increase in the tonnage of the German Navy's aircraft carriers. In the current German Navy's battle order, only two large aircraft carriers built in the name of super cruise ships can be organized to accommodate twin-engine aircraft. Other aircraft are affected by

The hangar size and flight deck restrictions are not suitable for twin-engine aircraft to board the ship. According to the German Navy

According to experience, if it is an armored deck aircraft carrier, the tonnage must be at least 38,000 tons to effectively operate a twin-engine aircraft. Therefore, in the future, the German aircraft carrier fleet must further increase the size and tonnage to adapt to the needs of large-scale carrier aircraft. For this reason, Germany

The navy had to design a larger aircraft carrier. Of course, this is a story for later and will not be mentioned for now.

With the new aircraft, the high-speed fleet that the Germans dream of is finally coming true, and as the aircraft's range has been improved to a certain extent, a battle of 200 to 250 nautical miles will not make the aircraft's range stretched. 250 nautical miles are converted into kilometers.

It’s only 450 kilometers, if you don’t count the climb and the climb of the fighter plane after it takes off.

In terms of formation time, the newly formed fast fleet can fly this distance in one hour! However, the current speed of the German sea-based aviation is only about 150 knots, which is an increase of about 60%! And the impact of this qualitative change can be said to be very huge. Unfortunately,

What’s more, in addition to Xu Jie having some preparations as a time traveler, the British, American and French

The country is not clear about this. The performance advantages of the fw190 when it first came out and the speed advantage of the carrier-based twin-engine aircraft in the early stages can only be known to those who have traveled through time. However, although Xu Jie can think of these, there is not much he can do.

Many, on the one hand, China does not plan to participate in the war at the early stage of World War II. On the other hand, China

Without the R2800 and the later Molin engines, it would be unrealistic for American and British aircraft to suppress their opponents. In addition to the P51, for World War II aircraft, whoever has the best engine will have the lowest performance. Currently, it is the German engine

It’s a strong period. Xu Jie has nothing to do! He can only pray that the aviation department can do more.

Generally speaking, the Iranian fleet's action to break diplomatic relations was very successful, although the number of merchant ships destroyed was not particularly large. However, because of the existence of this fleet, it restrained a large amount of the German navy's power, making it unable to be used in the Indian Ocean battlefield.

At the same time, due to concerns about navigation safety, Germany's sea transportation has also been significantly reduced. This has also indirectly caused Germany's weak performance on the front line in the Middle East. This function is a bit like the historical Emden light cruiser. The glorious results are one aspect, but

At the same time, it also greatly reduced the British maritime shipping volume in the Indian Ocean.

Less, the damage caused by the latter is to some extent greater than that of the former! And it was an unexpected surprise to be lucky enough to kill the König battleship in the night battle. Let’s not talk about the performance of this battleship. As a German in the first battle

The flagship of the High Seas Fleet, it would be of great political significance to sink this ship.

It's extraordinary! The Allied Powers did a lot of propaganda, and even British newspapers believed that the night battle in the Bay of Biscay was enough to comfort the royal officers and soldiers who died in the naval battle of World War 1. Although it was a Chinese destroyer that sank the König,

But this does not affect British propaganda at all.

"In future wars, the North Atlantic and the Eastern Indian Ocean will be the navy's frontal battlefields, but this does not mean that the Imperial Navy will do nothing in other sea areas! The Iranian navy can cause us trouble in the Atlantic, and we can also find opponents in the Pacific.

Our purpose is to make the Allies and China understand that the Imperial Navy will launch attacks on its opponents in all sea areas of the world!" In the first high-level naval meeting attended by Count Luckner after returning, Spey said

The earl put forward his own idea of ​​breaking up the relationship at the meeting.

From a geographical point of view, Germany in this dimension has much better conditions for breaking diplomatic relations than in history. One of the biggest advantages is that Germany's colonies in Africa have been preserved. Cameroon and Namibia in West Africa are still in German hands, and they just happen to

Facing the South Atlantic. The confrontation between the navies of the United States, Britain and the Allied Powers in the Atlantic is mainly in the North Atlantic, and the south will inevitably relax a little.

Therefore, the German camouflaged attack ships and submarines can use this place as their base. In the same way, German East Africa is also outside the main battlefield in the Indian Ocean. The core area of ​​​​the two sides' fighting in the Indian Ocean should be in the waters surrounding India such as the Arabian Sea. Britain and the United States are working with the Allies

During the confrontation, the fleet did not do enough to blockade the German African colonies. This was an opportunity for the German Navy!

Judging from the routes of the Allied Powers, material exchanges between the United States and Britain mainly pass through the North Atlantic route, which will be the key defense area of ​​the other side. Material exchanges between the United States and South Asia must cross the vast Pacific and half of the Indian Ocean to reach their destination. In

According to Count Spee, the actions of destroyers and submarines in the Pacific will have a greater impact on the Allied Powers, because the Pacific is too big, even with the national power of the United States.

It is difficult to leave enough escort force in the Pacific. German submarines on the coast of the Indian Ocean can directly cross half of the Indian Ocean into the waters surrounding India and the Western Pacific to break diplomatic relations. German submarines departing from Namibia can also bypass South America and enter the Atlantic Ocean.

Germany even plans to deploy some camouflaged supply ships in pro-German countries in South America to provide supplies for German submarines that broke diplomatic ties in the Pacific.

Even when the battle situation on the frontal battlefield is stable, Count Spee plans to dispatch aviation cruisers to cooperate with submarines in breaking diplomatic operations in the Pacific. The density of troops on both sides in the North Atlantic and Western Indian Ocean is still too high.

Under the suppression of power, the space for the break-up fleet to perform is actually very small.

. But it’s different in the Pacific. The territory is vast and the opponent’s troop density is relatively small. Although the probability of encountering an opponent is reduced, it is not easy for the opponent to seize the destroyer acting alone. Count Spee does not even require a single

How many results can an aviation cruiser achieve as a ship, as long as it can contain the opponent's forces?
