Chapter 1414 Naval differences
Cheng Biguang is a relatively old naval officer. He came from the Beiyang. Although he had seen the huge power of aircraft carriers, aircraft will definitely replace the role of cannons in the future, many things are the same. As a naval officer, he is very clear about where China is inserted. Now in the sneak attack, it has proved that for an industrial country with a complete industrial chain, industrial products can be produced as long as they have money, but there is one thing that cannot be mass-produced. As long as it is lost, it is lost. In a short period of time, there is no way to obtain supplements.
That is, people, compared to the warships produced in one or two years, or even two or three years, it is only a matter of time. However, naval soldiers are not just a matter of time. A person needs to be less than 20 years from a baby to a young man. Among them, they also have a certain degree of water. There are many such qualified personnel.
The navy is a technical branch. Some navy are trained almost from a young age. Even with a certain foundation, it will take at least about 5 years to be cultivated. As for gradually becoming a qualified sailor, it may take 10 years or even 20 years. The Chinese owners and strong manufacturing capabilities are only stronger and not weak compared to the Americans in terms of the level and speed of manufacturing warships. However, the reason why the navy has not expanded is that it is impossible to cultivate a group of qualified sailors on a large scale. The army. With a master like Jiang Baili, it is easier to be qualified non-commissioned officers and officers. Then, after a series of catalysis of peace and war, the Chinese army has strong combat power and elite level, which is no less than Germany.
Unfortunately, the navy has always been the weakest link in China. Until now, the four ocean fleets have not been able to complete the basic construction according to the outline. There is no way. The personnel gap is too large. Even if the personnel who barely have a basic driving force, they cannot fully exert their combat effectiveness. In that way, they will really become a fleet on the surface. A war or a fierce war will cause huge losses.
A major force of the US Navy that grew up after the European War and in the decisive battle of real battleships, a warship with more than 1.2 million tons, with a fleet of more than 40,000 naval officers and soldiers. Such a fleet, even if 20,000 people are sent, will be a huge blow to the United States. The Americans are probably the most elite naval force. In the future, even if the United States can fight with China to build warships, without qualified personnel, they will be at an absolute disadvantage first, which is also the fundamental reason for the attack.
The United States may have a long naval tradition and has a larger naval sign than China. However, if there are more similar strikes, it can also weaken the Americans' foundation. In the submarine warfare, before sinking merchant ships, the warships will be given priority. This is the case, not just a little bit of merit. How many merits can be made for sinking some destroyers? The key is that the people on the destroyer can perform this escort mission may not be the core personnel, but in the future they will become qualified personnel after the fleet is expanded.
According to this statement, a group of submarines were killed, and when they attacked New York, they killed another group of submarines. In addition, this time, Americans may also be hurt.
Especially this time, if possible, Cheng Biguang will leave at least 6 ships of the 12 main ships, and the others will be injured as much as possible. In the duel between battleships, not all sinking will suffer the greatest losses, and the serious injury will also be a big loss. Facing the attacks of armor-piercing bombs and high-explosive bombs, not many personnel can ensure safety.
According to the opponent's speed, it is impossible to come in rush. They should have set out in London a few days ago and have not yet fully crossed the Atlantic Ocean. It is estimated that they will arrive near the North Atlantic Ocean. The final battle will be 15 days later.
Of course, Cheng Biguang would not encounter a fight with them. The other party was not a vegetarian. It had more than 1 million tons of warships and a neatly lined up warship. If it was really a battle, it might not be possible to win. The Fantasy-level strength was super strong, but there was no complete fleet. Even if the Americans were stupid, the British were not stupid. Of course, they had the ability to win. Cheng Biguang was a veteran. He did not kill all sides on the United States, but was so arrogant that he could use four fantasy-level packages to fight everything. As a veteran, he was fighting on the other end of the earth. Stabilization was overwhelming.
When he decided on the last battle, Cheng Biguang had sent back the situation and requirements of the battlefield to the command center. The Navy was setting up a complete combat plan. All he could do was wait. Although he knew that the plan he made might not be bad at the moment, it would definitely not be as good as the headquarters and did it without any omissions. This is certain.
It is a famous saying in ancient China that military orders are not accepted. Many times, it is not easy to grasp the real situation on the scene, but with the development of technology, especially the development of modern warfare, the rear is always more comprehensive than the front.
The commanders on the front line always see a little direction, while the rear side can be seen perfectly. This is also an irreconcilable contradiction in ancient wars. In many cases, the main problem of this contradiction is communication. Although there were eight hundred miles of rush in ancient times, with the help of changing horses or changing people, using relay methods, intelligence and information can be sent thousands of miles away. However, this has been delayed for a day, and the situation on the battlefield has ended in an instant. In ancient times, the war was not moving quickly, but one day may have two consequences. This is still one way. Another problem is that everything on the front line cannot be explained clearly.
The emergence of radio solved this biggest problem. Through radio, information from the front line can be transmitted to the rear. The emergence of a radio command system composed of a large number of radios has often reduced the burden on the commander. Three people are the leader and one person is the shorter, and hundreds or thousands of well-trained staff can start from all aspects of the battlefield based on complete intelligence. If the intelligence is sufficiently perfect and the communication is smooth, there is no difference between the front line and the rear. The rear is still objective under certain conditions. More personnel can be organized to carry out the setting work. The combatants just need to do their own things well and deal with the surprise attack situation.
The Admiralty General Staff Department is already a busy scene. Since the war, similar busy scenes have occurred privately, especially now, Cheng Biguang requests support. How to deal with a complete fleet has become a topic in front of everyone. To be honest, the resources in Cheng Biguang's hands are a little bit worse, and it cannot be said that they are not bad. The four fantasy classes have never been bad, but they lack the necessary auxiliary forces. Even if the Fantasy Class is surrounded by four heavy patrols, eight youth training, and 12 destroyers, such a complete force is enough to challenge the other party, and even under certain circumstances, it can wipe out the other party.
Unfortunately, in order to keep it confidential, only four main battleships can be used. As for the 8 submarines, they do not have much effect when the main battleships are fighting, and they can only play a role in harassment. Once exposed, they may even suffer casualties when facing the other party's complete group of warships, countless light patrols and destroyers throwing deep-water bombs.
Cheng Biguang was not afraid of casualties. He had already been able to face all kinds of casualties when he came out of Beiyang. What he was really worried about was fearless casualties. In Europe and the North Atlantic, he had fought for more than two consecutive months, and there was no loss in the submarines, and even when he was following his followers. On the front battlefield, at least not fearless losses. The number of the four main battleships was too small. If he really chose to attack them while other main battleships were pestering him, even if the Fantasy level was powerful, it would not be able to save them, and it would be beyond the reach.
With the deepening of research on the front line, the differences are gradually intensifying about this matter. Qingdao Naval Command definitely encourages Cheng Biguang's merits in the United States. However, Cheng Biguang's request to fight the last battle, and even divided it into two categories. One is to support Cheng Biguang and fight to weaken the potential of the United States. Starting from Cheng Biguang's attack on the United States, the resilience shown by the United States is absolutely powerful and shocking. If the financial storm in New York and the collapse of the East Coast, these two may not necessarily be destroyed, but they will be quite difficult. But the United States blocked it and did not take advantage of this most dangerous time and the weakest time to make them continue to lose blood. I'm sorry for the four fantasy ships sent out by the risk.
However, the other group of people's statements are quite accurate. Cheng Biguang has made great contributions and has enough to deal with the United States. The loss itself is not great. At this time, the key is to bring back the naval soldiers who have been trained. You must know that the thousands of naval soldiers on the ship are definitely the seeds of the future of the Chinese navy. As long as you come back, you can immediately impart experience and lead the new with the old, which greatly increases China's naval heritage.
One is to attack the enemy, weaken the opponent, and the other is to strengthen themselves. Both make sense. However, among these two factions, several senior leaders joined each other, and no one could convince each other. Even because the argument between the two sides was too high, they all had differences. Even the staff team gave an analysis report in these two directions, rather than what Cheng Biguang needed to do about how to deal with this war and how to be in a favorable position, but considering that this matter is the upper hand between each other and that direction. In a sense, it deviates from the theme. This is the first time that a problem has occurred for the professional Chinese staff. (To be continued.)
