"Once my uncle, Prince Leopold, once said to me, the staff always prepared for the last war. I think this is very reasonable. Don't you think that the way surface ships fight now has been fighting for hundreds of years? Whose warships are bigger and stronger will have more advantages. Both sides set up battle lines like the Nelson era and then lined up and shot them. Until one side withdrew from the battlefield, from the invention of artillery to the present, the navy's battles revolve around artillery, defense and speed. It has always been a two-dimensional battle."

"This situation has lasted for hundreds of years, and now it is time to break it! Unfortunately, this day was a little late. We did not make any relevant preparations before the war. Now we need some time to adjust our navy to adapt to this change, and this period may be longer." The prince said.

"A sword is not suitable for fighting before it is really cast. Our situation is not very bad. In this case, why don't we temporarily withdraw our fists and wait for the power to be completed before we can fight it out? At that time, I can guarantee that our fleet can gallop across the North Sea and run rampant!"

In the environment of War 1 and War 2, it is impossible to rely on the pre-war margin and technology to fight directly to the end. That is no future. Look at how NB the German Army and Air Force began in history? Then what is the result? When the opponent surpasses you in technology and is familiar with you in tactical terms, in the case of a protracted war, the side that has the advantages of materials and national strength can always turn the tables!

To describe it as a popular RTS game in later generations, when you have an advantage in half and half, you can choose to open a mine, or get three books, or at least go home to make some supplies. Otherwise, if you seem to be a big deal, you will go directly to your opponent's home, and you will be reckless and lose all your advantages. And you will eventually lose due to the lack of support from technology and resources.

The German Navy is the same now, and it has an advantage in fighting offshore. However, the British had built arrow towers at home, and the whole army recovered blood and blue at home. The German Navy did not have the capital to wander for a long time at the door of the British. It would be possible to go occasionally. If there were too many, something would definitely happen. I want to ask why the Thunder-Surbruce battle could be so beautiful? The reason is very simple. At that time, the British had not yet set up arrow towers (the Air Force could not do it).

Therefore, for the prince, the best way for the German Navy at present is to open a mine and scrape wild monsters (fight against Russians), while patiently waiting for its four aircraft carriers to take shape. At the same time, in order to defend against the possible attacks of the British on German local naval bases, various defense measures also need to be done well.

"The use of aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft has a great impact on the transformation of the entire naval system. It is not only that there is an additional aircraft carrier detachment on the surface combat. It is also very important for the entire command structure and logistics system. We currently plan to build 4 aircraft carriers, and it is expected to be equipped with at least 300 carrier-based aircraft combined units. Another 200 aircraft and crew are required as backups. This burden is already very large. When considering the air defense problem of the base, the number of first-line aircraft is conservatively estimated to be more than 800! Therefore, my opinion is to be stable and let the high seas fleet be in a low-intensity battle, and prepare for the next stage of combat." The prince expressed his opinion.

"At this time, I hope that His Majesty and the Supreme Command can give me the naval reforms. After all, I will be responsible for all naval combat matters until the end of the offensive in the Gulf of Riga. As for the construction and training of carrier-based aircraft fleets, the Bavarian Air Force can also complete it. The first batch of 300 carrier-based aircraft and pilots can be drawn from the Bavarian Air Force. The Kingdom of Prussia only needs to make up for the rest." The prince put forward his own opinions.

After the prince made this opinion, everyone here, including Tirpitz, Liaole and others, showed surprise and even a little hostile to this opinion. This is understandable. For the army, the establishment of the naval aviation force must separate the aircraft that originally belonged to the army. For the navy, the original Navy Minister of State, the Navy Office and the High Seas Fleet, the three troikas in the three navy, probably will change!

"Revise? How to change? Should we change the structure of the existing naval troika?" The German Emperor ignored Tirpitz and others. For time travelers, this is the best thing about the German regime system. Under normal circumstances, as long as the German Emperor wanted to do something, he would not have to take into account other people's opinions too much. Of course, if the German Emperor did not understand, it would not work.

"Add an additional Naval Aviation Department! This Aviation Department is responsible for the use and training of carrier-based aircraft and land-based aircraft. All matters in conventional aviation. During the war, the Naval Aviation was under the command of the commander of the Grand Fleet. This department is temporarily commanded by me and is directly responsible to the German Emperor." After saying that, the prince distributed a list of the German Naval Aviation Unit he planned to organize to the attendees.

In addition to 300 single-engine carrier-based aircraft, the current 1-line aircraft also has 6 squadrons and 120 K-4 Tractor twin-engine interceptors, used to deal with British bombers, as well as at least 6 squadrons, a total of 120 K-6 bombers. They will carry torpedoes and bombs to perform anti-ship missions. The remaining 260 aircraft also include many 60 long-range seaplanes and 50 K-4 bombers as supplements. The remaining are single-engine K-1 fighters and the k-2 fighters that will be the elders in the future. Although the number is not large, because the proportion of twin-engine aircraft is very high, what German air power does is far from what is shown on paper!

800 various aircraft are not a decimal number. What is this? Now Germany has only about 4,300 to 4,800 first-line aircraft on the Western Front, while the total number of first-line aircraft on the Eastern Front Air Force is between 1,200 and 1,500. The air combat on the Western Front is very cruel, and the production is slightly more than consumption. Considering that the British and French Air Force is also expanding, the surplus is very limited.

The situation of the Eastern Airlines team is much better, but if you consider the future air strikes on Poland pockets and the deployment of air force in the Balkans, the margin is relatively limited. Therefore, if the prince's plan wants to be realized, he can only draw a part of the rack from the Bavarian Air Force to set up the rack and then add it a little bit. This process will be relatively long. The prince himself takes off the plane and understands this aspect, his status and reputation are enough. It is reasonable to ask the navy to set up another department and become the boss himself.
