Chapter 1232 This is impossible
A naval battle born in the Jutlands Sea involved a 40,000-ton battleship naval battle, and finally ended. If the outcome was determined, the German Navy would have won. Both strategy and tactics had achieved a successful success. All the personnel were happy. Not only did they welcome back the powerful 9 main battleships and sank 5 battleships.` Although two of them were from the United States, the remaining ones were real British main battleships, and none of them would have a huge blow to the British strength. You must know that being caught up by Germany on the warships and reaching the smallest difference in history has already made Britain quite unhappy. But now, with 3 missing, it is equivalent to getting closer again. Maybe in the near future, German warships will surpass Britain in terms of number.
In fact, in the next one or two years, the number of German warships really surpassed that of Britain, but by that time, the competition between the two countries was meaningless, and even the core of the war had shifted. The competition between small oceans such as the North Sea and the Baltic Sea was really different from the battleships of tens of millions of tons or even higher tonnage in the Pacific.
Those are all later stories, not yet born, and even people's imagination. At present, the result of this battle can be said to be unprecedented. Five main battleships were sunk. As for the main battleship, this is the biggest loss after the appearance of the battleship. When Japan fought in Shandong, it only sank a Kwang-class, and the remaining ones were the top five or iron-clad ships. This time, it was a real main battleship. If it was just a main battleship, it would have fallen. There were dozens of ships of large and small, heavy patrols, light patrols, destroyers, and lost hundreds of thousands of tons of tonnage and a large number of naval officers and soldiers. In the people, they could use the names of famous names or languages to fight ambush, but the British Navy had to figure out why the Scher fleet was so strong. The results of such a short time were so huge.
Compared with these things on the surface, they are more concerned about the powerful roots of the Schell fleet. Even in the British Naval Institute, research on the Schell fleet has begun. In the smoky room, dozens of naval ship experts are arguing endlessly and smoky. In this era, cigarettes are still fashionable. Even in this era, (Hero) can become painkillers, and ban smoking is impossible to mention. For mental workers, smoke is a tool to refresh the mind to a large extent.
More than a dozen designers who were unkempt and even smoked smoke were arguing endlessly. When it comes to war, they may not be the top one, but when it comes to research on warships, they are definitely the strongest. Because of this, they can clearly grasp the power of the Scher fleet. The telegraph can carry limited things, and with the confidentiality relationship, they can only transmit a little something back. But it is this that makes them feel like they have discovered a new world, and there is such a battle fleet that is so powerful.
The first time the Scher fleet appeared was the battle on the coast of West Africa. The time and location were accurate. It was the first battle of the Scher fleet near Europe. Next, it was the encounter in the North Sea, which was almost a week in between. For others, it was a period of missing time, and it was difficult to find their trajectory. For warship designers, this was the easiest. They drew several lines in the middle, and combined the things judged by the Navy’s Staff before, forming a deviation. After careful examination for a long time, they finally came to an astonishing conclusion that the other side’s warship was very fast.
That's right, it's the degree. Each giant warship with a total of more than 450,000 tons can guarantee a degree of 25 knots or even more. This is impossible to achieve in the eyes of most designers, at least it is impossible now. But if you don't assume this, it's impossible to explain. The distance will not lie. Where are the basic conditions such as ocean currents and winds? If you run in a straight line, it should be at least about 23 knots. In fact, when you avoid their search, plus the nearby sea conditions and reefs, it's almost impossible to run in a straight line. Through the systematic calculation, you have obtained a few simple data. There will be deviations between 25 knots and 26 knots, which is not much.`
If this is just a very boring number for warship officers, I am used to some high warships, such as fast patrols and destroyers, their degree can even reach 36 knots, which is more than 25 knots and ten knots faster. For designers, this represents the power of a warship. They don’t know what the power of the Sher fleet is like. It is already unimaginable that they have to push 30,000 tons to 25 knots, not to mention 450,000 tons, which is more than 50% of the weight, the kinetic energy required is greatly increased.
With the emergence of various battleships, although many battleships are divided by main guns, only truly mature designers will understand that power is the foundation of a battleship. Without enough power, other balances cannot be made. Either reduce the degree or reduce the protection. This is also the fundamental reason why Queen Elizabeth-class is so valued by the navy. This is a masterpiece, a masterpiece that perfectly balances power, protection and firepower.
However, when Queen Elizabeth's class did not play a role, the Sher fleet shattered his strength. In addition to this degree, according to their calculations, a very incredible data was obtained, but it should be the most realistic. Could it be that it was because, after that, there were a lot of operations. Within 30 minutes, 9 to 9, to be precise, it should be the main ship 9 to 9, and there were 33 battleships on his side, which could not be on the battle line, but the tonnage was always prevalent. In this case, the opponent could sink 5 ships, which means that it was extremely powerful, and although the specific indicators did not come back and the combat process was not done, the brief battle report made the Admiralty very alert to the Schell Fleet. This is a very powerful attack fleet. If you don't understand his strength, you may not even sleep.
The three major elements of warships, power and attack are so powerful. On the other hand, there are not many descriptions in the report on protection. I think the absolute ability to face the main battleship head-on is above the level in terms of protection. Such a perfect warship suddenly appeared in front of everyone without any noise, especially Britain claiming to be the most powerful country in the navy and has always been at the forefront of the navy.
The more you argue, the clearer it becomes. Science is like this. When most things are fixed, the results must be fixed, and there are very few variables that can be changed. At the beginning, some people have different opinions. As the problem becomes more in-depth, some wrong, or estimated, are becoming more subtle and accurate. The general content is unlikely to change. However, it is this increasingly correct data that makes every designer here confused. The more you look at the questions in your heart, the bigger the questions. Many things are a bit incredible. Many designers are divided into different opinions and argue with each other.
A more detailed battle report was sent back through the fast destroyer. Before the main fleet arrived, all the senior executives of the Navy, the Navy Research Institute, and even the warship designers were waiting for this battle report. From this, it can be evaluated for the naval potential of Germany and even China. In addition, we should also specifically mention that some of the losses in the Allied fleet operations were American naval ships. They also asked to listen because they sank two American battleships and many small warships.
The Americans' request was reasonable, and the British Navy could not refuse. Although this would reveal the secrets of the British Navy to a certain extent, the data and manufacturing methods of the latest Queen Elizabeth-class battleships have been given to the Americans, and there is nothing to hide. Besides, the two sides are close allies. To a large extent, in the subsequent war, Britain will rely on the power of the United States, and even several battleships are being built in the United States. Without the support of the United States, it will be a question whether it can continue to fight with Germany. Britain, which is deeply trapped in the whirlpool of war, is unable to support the consumption of continued shipbuilding. Because of the emergence of airships, coastal harbors and shipyards are no longer safe and cannot meet the needs of shipbuilding.
The detailed battle reports sent back by the destroyer have almost explained the details of every local battle that the British army can find, especially the duel between the 9-on-9 main ships, which was not completely sunk, and there are more detailed battle reports, including the entire 3O-minute battle process. However, these detailed battle reports made everyone stunned. The first round was a cross-fire, which is no longer a matter of attack power. This has a huge relationship with the aiming system. Only the breakthrough progress of the aiming system can make the battleships fight so accurately.
Can the aiming system be improved? In the entire research room, there are one of the top British battleship designers. They have their own advantages in their professional fields and are very clear about the origin of the dreadnought. Not only is the structure of the full-heavy artillery, but it is also directly related to the significant improvement of the aiming system. Could it be that the Germans, or the Chinese, have mastered a newer aiming method?
But as we continued to watch, most people's faces changed because we happened to see the formation adopted by the other party. Before, they believed that the Sher fleet had seized the battle line under the premise of the war, but Sher's fleet did not seize the battle line. It was a very loose arrangement, but it could hit it accurately.
"This is impossible!" The British designer, who saw the beginning, slapped the table and shouted loudly. (To be continued.)
