Chapter 909: Dongying Demon Knife 1
To tell the truth, Churchill is the saddest person, because he is the first person to be questioned by the parliament, and he needs to face the duties of the prime minister and parliamentarians! Churchill is still thinking about what to do with the parliamentary grandfathers. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info To be honest, he was more wronged than Fisher and Jericho, he didn't have anything to do when he built the battleship, and Jericho commanded it when he went out to fight, but as the Lord of the Navy, you are responsible for .......
"I think it's very good. I hope that our future warships can be referenced. Jericho nodded in agreement, the problem of countermeasures is not something that can be discussed in a day or two, and the matter of fooling the parliament and the prime minister is left to Churchill and Fisher, and the countermeasures are slowly being done, and now the naval forces of the two sides are like this, and the navy is not like the army to replenish more than 100,000 troops a month. It's useless if you're in a hurry.
"That's it for now. See you tomorrow. Churchill glanced at Sir Fisher, who was silent, and rubbed his temples, which were a little numb, and said.
The next day, both the senior officers of the Admiralty and the admirals of the fleet arrived in the conference room at half past eight in the morning, where they met another great man of the Royal Navy, although he had no military rank, but his presence could not be ignored by anyone, the money won by the Admiralty was spent by him, and the guys of the Grand Fleet were all designed by him! In the history of the British Imperial Navy, in addition to the birth of outstanding admirals such as Drake and Nelson, as well as the positions of Admiralty such as Prince Louis and Fisher, a large number of famous naval designers, such as Edward Fisher, were also born. Reed, for example, William White, for example, Watts, and for example, the current Incott, who is somewhat controversial in later generations!
To say that this guy is also famous in history, although in TG may not be as famous as William White and Watts, but in fact, there are a lot of works in people's hands! For example, the artifact of the Multi-Turret Holy Cult - Aginkut of the Seven Turrets! That's enough to remember! Then there are the Revenge-class battleships, and the battlecruiser Hood, which is known as the largest battlecruiser and was then killed by a single shot in the Battle of the Danish Sea, and the most crispy Admiral Latorre, the ultra-intrepid Admiral Latore, and the large light cruisers of the Glorious and Fury classes, and the Kent-class heavy cruisers known as the Tin Ship in World War 2.
What do you think? Scarewright? A person who is the chief designer of the Royal Navy can build so many crispy and pit warships, which is considered a skill, right? A designer, it's nothing to make a pit cargo in his life, everyone is not a god, God will forgive if there is a pit cargo, but obviously, these boats made by this buddy seem to be more bizarre ....... That's where skills come in.
Of course, if it is fair to say that the 12-inch inclined armor of the battlecruiser Hood was still good in the 1st battle, of course, the cost was terrible. And this guy later came up with a relatively NB battleship, that is, one of the seven Nelson-class battleships of the later generations, although there are various problems such as the insufficient height of the armor belt, the slow speed, and so on, but 9 406-inch guns can be put on the ship, and it is guaranteed to have 14-inch inclined armor, and the total tonnage is only 35,000 tons. As for the likes of Agincourt, these were originally export ships used to make money, and they didn't pit foreigners!
"I know that there are many things that you here want to ask me, for example, how did the Japanese get their hands on the German design drawings, and the Germans kept their designs very secret, and yes, even the commission that laid the foundation of the German Navy. Count Kuniberti later faded out of the German naval design scene. However, there were accidents in everything, and as Japanese who had owned German warships, they could begin to draw some inspiration from those would-be dreadnoughts. Incott began to talk.
"There is a process in the design and evolution of any warship, and it has to be said that the Japanese are indeed a people who are good at learning, and there are actually a lot of shining points on the Asama-class armored cruisers in their hands and the Rurik-2 quasi-dreadnoughts captured from the Russians later."
"German large warships pay attention to defensive firepower, which can actually be seen from the earliest Asama class, on the surface, German battleships are actually thick armor, high height, this is true, but in fact, more important is the trade-off."
"Comparing the difference between Rurik 2 and the Asama class, you can see that when the Asama class was in service, everyone used 6-inch rapid-fire guns, and suffocating the opponent's warship with high-explosive shells was a common means, so the armor coverage area of the Asama class was very large, in addition to the main armor belt, the head and tail armor belts and the upper armor belts. It was adapted to the situation at the time. So the American fleet was hoisted in the Philippine Sea. ”
"And by the time of Rurik 2, the situation changed, a large number of secondary guns were equipped on battleships, and it was somewhat difficult to use 5 to 6-inch armor belts to protect against the main guns of this class, and even if they could not penetrate it, they could collapse, and the Germans chose such that they protected the main core compartment and abandoned part of the secondary guns. In fact, for the protection of the secondary artillery, Rurik 2 is weaker than Asama, but the defense of the core cabin has been enhanced. ”
"And in the Dreadnought era, it is impossible for the Japanese to directly obtain the German capital ships, but this does not prevent them from obtaining them from other sources, don't forget, the Germans have built two battleships for Argentina, and the German side must give the Argentine side some drawings, maybe not in detail, but they can also see some clues in the leopard, and the Japanese happened to get some information through this way!" Speaking of which, Incourt couldn't help but spy on it, the way of the Japanese is really enough for wild .......
"Scharnhorst and Gneisenau?! These bastards! Churchill's face next to him changed slightly, and he cursed in his heart. Letting these two warships run away without destroying them was what Churchill considered to be the saddest and most regrettable thing of his life.
"Through the line drawings bought at a high price, the Japanese finally figured out some of the design ideas and essence of the German battleship, of course, the focus was on the defense of the hull." Incott ignored Churchill and continued.
On the whole, the Japanese used the artillery and armor we provided, and then designed such a class of warships with a combination of characteristics according to the German ideas and their own perceptions, but now it seems that it is not bad.
