At this moment, I only heard the guard at the door say: "Report, Huang Zhe is here." ”

Xia Bohai said: "Please let him in." ”

The door to the conference room opened, and the guards ushered in a young man, Huang Zhe, who claimed to be a military enthusiast.

Everyone's eyes were all focused on Huang Zhe's body, and saw that Huang Zhe was completely a typical otaku, with a height of about 1.7 meters, a little fat, a round face, white and clean, no beard, with a pair of black-framed glasses, a medium-length hair, and a laptop computer between his arms.

Qin Zheng first said: "Are you Huang Zhe?"

Huang Zhe nodded again and again, and said, "Yes, yes, I am Huang Zhe." ”

Qin Zheng smiled and said: "Huang Zhe, I'll call you Xiao Huang, don't be nervous, we are the People's Liberation Army, not the National Army, sit down first." ”

At this time, a guard brought a chair to Huang Zhe and asked him to sit at the end of the conference table, and another guard brought him a cup of tea.

Qin Zheng said again: "Xiao Huang, we have read your information and self-report documents, do you say that you know a lot about warships before World War II?"

Huang Zhe nodded again and again, and said: "Yes, yes, I have liked military affairs since I was a child, especially warships, so I know a lot about warships before World War II." I know the situation of the German warships mentioned in the bulletin. ”

Qin Zheng said: "Okay, we just need the situation of these warships, you can tell us all." He turned his head and instructed the guard, "Help Xiao Huang pick up the computer." ”

With the help of the guards, Huang Zhe turned on the computer, connected to the projector, and then opened a file in the computer, and said: "Let me first introduce the flagship of the German fleet, the armored cruiser Count Bismarck. ”

As he spoke, he opened a picture of a warship and said, " This warship is the Count Bismarck armored cruiser, which was built by the Emperor Shipyard in Port Kiel in April 1896, and was officially delivered to the Navy in April 1900, the dimensions of the body are: total length of 127.11 meters, waterline length of 125.81 meters, maximum width of 20.42 meters, draft of 8.46 meters, standard displacement of 10,690 tons, full load displacement of 11,461 tons, speed of 18.7 knots, this is the first 10,000-ton large cruiser built by the German Navy before World War I. The armament was as follows: two twin 240 mm 40 x guns in the front and rear, 12 150 mm 40 x guns symmetrically distributed on both sides of the ship, 10 88 mm 30 x rapid-fire guns on both sides of the superstructure, and six 450 mm torpedo tubes. In appearance, it is very similar to the Caesar 61 Frederick III class battleship that the German Navy had just built at this time, including the type and arrangement of weapons, etc., which can be regarded as a cruiser version of the Caesar 61 Frederick III class battleship. ”

At the beginning, Huang Zhe was still a little nervous, and his voice was still a little trembling, but as he spoke, he gradually entered the state, and the more he spoke, the smoother he became. As he spoke, he opened another picture of the warship and said, "This is the Caesar 61 Frederick III-class battleship, a former dreadnought built by Germany." ”

Everyone carefully looked at the comparison of the pictures of the two warships, and it was indeed very similar.

Huang Zhe then said: " In terms of protection, the Count Bismarck armored cruiser uses the defensive structure of the ironclad fort dome, the waterline armor belt is the latest case-hardened carburized armor produced by Knouber, 200 mm thick, and at the same time near the waterline, it is also laid with the dome armor usually used to protect the cruiser, 50 mm thick, the bottom end of the dome armor extends below the waterline, and the top is several feet above the water, in fact, the defense system of the Count Bismarck armored cruiser is designed as a complex of armored cruiser and protective cruiser, the ship can be regarded as a protective cruiser with a waterline armor belt, or a protective cruiser is a protective cruiser without waterline armor, which also reflects the design characteristics of German warships, first of all, putting survivability in the first place. Because the German naval philosophy is to ensure that the warship is not sunk, the time and money to repair a warship is much lower than to rebuild one. ”

"The scale of the Count Bismarck armored cruiser greatly exceeded the cruisers built by Germany in the past, and there has been a great leap in armament and protection, so it is inevitable to encounter technical bottlenecks, so the construction period of the ship is as long as 4 years, because the construction cycle is too long, and the warship technology of this era is developing rapidly, plus at this time Germany has only begun to develop the navy, and the experience and concept of building ships are insufficient, so the ship has fallen behind when it is in service. ”

"At the same time, the 9,700-ton Asama-class armored cruisers ordered by Japan in Britain were the most typical armored cruisers of this era, armed with 4 203-mm main guns and 14 152-mm secondary guns, and had a speed of 21.5 knots. Compared with these two types of warships, the Count Bismarck is stronger than the Asama class in terms of main guns and main armor belt, but the main gun of the battleships of this era is generally 305 mm, and the minimum limit of the main armor belt is more than 230 mm, which is still insufficient, and the speed is more than three knots slower than the Asama class, and not much faster than the battleships, and the speed of battleships in this era is usually 17-18 knots. That is to say, if the Count Bismarck was used as a cruiser to carry out sabotage and reconnaissance missions, its speed would be too slow; if it was used as a battleship for the main fleet operation, its firepower and armor would be slightly thin, and as a result, it fell into an embarrassing situation, and the reason for this was that Germany lacked experience in designing warships, and before the construction of the Count Bismarck, it did not understand the core concept of the armored cruiser, and the positioning of the Count Bismarck was also relatively vague. So only one ship of this type was built, but experience was gained for later armored cruisers. ”

After listening to Huang Zhe, others couldn't help but be a little impressed by him, it seems that this kid does have a lot of material, as a military enthusiast, not only know the detailed parameters of the Count Bismarck armored cruiser, but also can distinguish its advantages and disadvantages and design concepts so clearly, it is indeed not easy.

Huang Zhe took a few sips of water and said, "Let's talk about the several battleships of the German fleet, the Brandenburg, the Wools, and the Elector, they all belong to the Brandenburg-class battleships. ”

As he spoke, he opened a few more pictures of the warship and said, " The Brandenburg-class battleship has a total length of 115.7 meters, a width of 19.5 meters, a draft of 7.8 meters, a standard displacement of 10,173 tons, a speed of 16 knots, a cruising range of 4,500 nautical miles, and is equipped with three twin 280 mm guns, six 105 mm single guns, eight 88 mm single guns, 12 37 mm machine guns, six 450 mm water torpedo tubes, 400 mm at the waterline of the armored belt, 60 mm on the deck, 300 mm on the conning tower, and 568 crew ( The flagship has 63 dignitaries of the headquarters). This type of ship is the first type of 10,000-ton battleship built by Germany, and it is also recognized as the first type of German former dreadnought, a total of four ships were built, the first ship Brandenburg was commissioned on November 19, 1893, and the other three ships in addition to the Elector and Wools who came to China this time, and one is the Wisenburg, all three ships were completed in 1894. ”

"The freeboard of the Brandenburg-class battleships, with a pronounced inward inclination, was a standard type of battleship of this era. The armor was a new type of armor produced by Krupp at that time, and although it was not a case-hardened carburized armor, the defense capability was significantly improved. Although the main guns of battleships of this era were generally 305 mm caliber, the 280 mm caliber guns adopted by Germany were somewhat smaller. However, this was due to the anticipation of the German Navy's engagement at the time, the Kiel Canal across the North Sea and the Baltic Sea in the early years limited the displacement of German warships, and the North Sea climate was not good for many years, the Baltic Sea was narrow, and the engagement distance in such waters was relatively close, so the importance of artillery rate of fire relative to caliber and range was much higher. ”

However, the guns of the Brandenburg-class battleships are equipped with three twin guns, and the three turrets are all configured along the longitudinal centerline of the hull, which is a very rare design method at that time, and the turret is a terrace rotary gun used for the project, also known as the open turret style, its main feature is that the turret does not move and the gun moves, the turret is surrounded by armor, the height is limited to protect the artillery mount, the gun is installed in a fixed turret, and the gun is rotated when firing, the upper part of the early open turret is completely open, but the artillery is easy to be injured by fragments, so the Brandenburg-class battleships are also equipped with a gun cover on the turret, with a degree of 120 to 50 mm, which can not only prevent shrapnel from the explosion of the shell, which can also withstand direct hits of shells of a certain caliber. This design actually adopted the turret design method of the Dingyuan and Zhenyuan ships built by the German State for the Qing court. ”

"On the whole, the Brandenburg-class battleships were not successful in the design of the first class. It also has the legacy of the shore defense ironclad ship derived from the central turret battleship, and the freeboard is low, which is not suitable for ocean-going combat, and although it is equipped with six main guns, which is two more than the average battleship, the main guns at the front and rear of the hull are 40 times the caliber, and the main gun in the middle of the hull is 35 times the caliber, so it cannot be fired with the same fire control unit, and it can only be said that when designing the Brandenburg-class battleship, the German country simply wanted to increase the firepower of a single ship, and did not consider the unified fire control unit shooting. According to the history of the old time and space, the Germans have now built five Caesar 61 Frederick III-class battleships, and a new type of Wiecchelsbach-class battleship is being built, so the Brandenburg-class battleships have withdrawn from the main ranks of the German Navy. This time it was sent to China to let this type of ship exert its residual heat. ”
