"Why?" Koga Feng asked.

"Because, in the future night battles, there will be very few large-scale fleet attacks. Can you imagine that more than a dozen battleships carry a large number of escort warships to operate at night? Navigation at night formations is difficult, not to mention that you have to face enemy fleets, submarines and mines. This risk is too great. Except for the situation that is absolutely necessary or with absolute advantage, the Imperial Navy will not take such a big risk to act. The most likely choice at the beginning is to fight at the team level, with 3 to 4 battleships carrying escort warships to operate, and other main fleets can respond outside a certain range. In this way, if the situation is not good, you can quickly withdraw. Therefore, from this perspective, the Empire does not lack these Liuriks." Yamamoto Iroku thought for a while and said.

Night battles are full of uncertainty, both in combat and sailing. Therefore, any fleet will avoid super-large night battles. Even when the high seas fleet is at a disadvantage, they will refuse to fight at night. At most, they will maneuver at night and then fight at dawn. Only Earl Spee is truly keen on night battles. The reason is very simple. The situation in the Mediterranean is even worse than that in the North Sea. There is no way to fight without night battles. If there is a little solution, Earl Spee will not fight with the British and French fleets in the dark.

The Japanese also understand this principle, and they have the advantage of speed, so it is a good choice to run if they can't beat it at night. Moreover, the quality of the Japanese fleet is indeed relatively high. The core of the six Fuso and two Nagato-class battleships gives them a high chance of running away when facing Bavaria. Moreover, if the fleet is deploying outside, the German fleet may not necessarily dare to chase it.

If the German fleet is not the one who encounters it, then that's great. The four Fuso-class battleships are enough to deal with any American fleet of the same size. Therefore, in the future naval battles, the long-term continuous night battles of medium-sized fleets are the mainstream. There may or may not be any decisive battles. And considering that the Japanese fleet has 12 battleships after all, rotation is enough, so the four Liurik-class battleships are really not that necessary!

"And from the current training content, it mainly includes ocean voyage, supply training, and evasion of reconnaissance and escape tracking. From the subject, this is more like the content of ocean crusade combat."

"And you look at the improvement plan of our warships. The fuel reserves of the warships have been further increased, but the number of ammunitions of the main gun has been reduced. At the same time, the boiler uses ordinary boilers instead of small water pipe boilers, and even some of the armor of the artillery corridors have been removed. This obviously takes into account the overall load and maintenance difficulty of the warships. If we look at the newly added cold storage, grain and fresh water reserves, we can be more sure that this is a preparation for ocean-going combat. If we only fight in Guinea, this improvement is not needed at all." Yamamoto Iroku analyzed.

"It seems that we will play the role of General Su Xiong in the war this time." Koga Fengichi said excitedly. If anyone in the entire German navy fought the most with the Japanese, it must be Su Xiong and Redel. The first time they went to the Indian Ocean was to take the Japanese fleet to sacrifice their swords. Then, they fought twice in large-scale battles. In one battle, they even sank two of them in the face of the four Japanese main battleships that had arrived one after another. After three wars, Su Xiong's reputation spread completely in the Japanese fleet. The Japanese naval generals were afraid and hated Su Xiong! This made Su Xiong's morale automatically obtain a -5 correction value when facing the Japanese fleet...

Of course, many of the young generals in Japan still admire Su Xiong. After all, the Japanese can erect a monument for Perry who opened their own country. Why can't they worship Su Xiong who beat him? According to Japanese logic, worship is the correct way to open it, okay! Koga Fengichi is one of them. It turns out that this guy has been on a light cruiser and has studied the issue of cruiser breaking. Originally, it was estimated that the Japanese Navy is far less generous than the German Navy, and can send fast battleships to act as a breaking battleship. So it would be great to bring a cruiser to the sea in the future? Look at the predecessors of the navy. Since the sailing era, various breaking ships have written their own brilliant chapters on the sea. Koga Fengichi is looking forward to this day, well!

"I really didn't expect that in the future, I would have the opportunity to command a fast battleship to carry out a battle war. I originally thought it would be good to be assigned a light cruiser. With this battleship, there would be no existence in the American fleet that could capture us. Even the new American cruiser would not work!" Koga Fengyi said.

"But in the future, we are likely to face the encirclement and suppression of the Su Xiong fleet. In this battle, our positions with Su Xiong were changed, we became wolves, and the Germans became hunters. Of course, there may be American aircraft carriers participating in the encirclement and suppression. According to the experience in the war, a carrier-based aircraft on a regular aircraft carrier is completely possible to severely damage an old battleship without escort. The challenges we face are very severe. Even the American aircraft carrier will be more terrifying than the Germans' fast battleship!" Yamamoto Iroku was very sober. To some extent, it can even be said to be prescient!

"Are you talking about planes? These rebellious guys have changed the situation of naval battles and made everything we were once familiar with changed in an instant." Koga Feng said with a curl of his lips.

"I'm not used to it either, but facts are facts, and you can't ignore them if you don't admit it, so we still have to learn to face this new naval battle situation. So I am going to give a suggestion to the top leaders of the navy." Yamamoto Izuru said.

“What suggestions?”

"It is necessary for us to improve a Russian seaplane mothership. In addition to carrying no less than 10 seaplanes, we must also have guide rails for ejection aircraft. In this way, we can eject aircraft that remove the landing gear for air combat, which can effectively enhance our air defense capabilities. Moreover, seaplanes are very conducive to enhancing our perception of the surrounding environment." Yamamoto Iroku said.

"This is another big project. If you say that, the tonnage of this auxiliary warship may be around 12,000 tons. Let me think about it, are you talking about the Russian Kamchatka seaplane mothership? Only he can meet your requirements, 12,000 tons of water displacement, more than 10 seaplanes, and more than 6 fighters with landing gear removed. You are using aircraft as anti-aircraft shells, which is really a bit of a big deal." Koga Fengyi said.
