"Not only that, but if such a long-range attack is carried out, I suggest that the bomb load of the O-400 bomber should not exceed 350KG, and the FB27 bomber should not exceed 425KG. The maximum bomb load www.biquge.info of the V1500 bomber should be limited to less than 1 ton. The lieutenant general said.

"If that's the case, the intensity of the blow will be much lower. It took us a night to fly over, but we could only throw one 12-inch shell, this ....... Sir Fisher smacked his mouth.

"Well, I'm talking about carrying out this mission during the day, and if it's at night, IMHO, such a plan is not operational at all." Lieutenant General Trenhard said startled.

"But didn't your Excellency's aviation unit attack the rear of the Germans at night from a distance of 200 or even 300 kilometers from the battle line? It's a bit far away, but it's possible to do it with careful planning. Could it be that there is a problem with your Excellency's night raid report that I saw? Sir Fisher was about to step down, and at this time he had nothing to worry about, so he said something rushed.

"You can try driving at night in the city, or you can try driving in the wilderness, on land we can orient ourselves based on the lights on the ground and some iconic landmarks, but what about the sea? You're not going to have a pilot bring a sextant to navigate, are you? Crossing 200 kilometers of night raids and crossing more than 500 kilometers to go on night raids are two completely different concepts, and perhaps one degree of deviation is enough to make you come to Amsterdam in the Netherlands, not Wilhelmshaven in the Germans. ”

"If the Navy hastily carries out your plan, then I can guarantee that you will be charged with a scourge of the Royal Naval Air Force in addition to the scourge of the Royal Navy fleet in addition to the court-martial!" Lieutenant General Trenhard sneered.

If you want to ask if there were any night air raids in World War I, this is definitely true! Not long after the start of the war, the Russian Ilya bombers bombed German stations at night, but the flight distance was only 80 kilometers and less than ....... To ask whether there was a night bombing operation across the Channel in World War I? Naturally, there are also ah, such as the airship bombing and the later Gotha disaster. These are all successful examples, but the fact that the Germans could easily bomb London in England does not mean that the British could easily bomb the Wilhelmshaven .......

The reason is very simple, the distance and the tool are different! Let's talk about the distance first, Germany wants to bomb Britain, that's easy, just take off from the occupied territory of France, and there is an English Channel between the two sides. But if the British wanted to bomb Wilhelmshaven? Take a map and measure it according to the scale, whether it is from France or from the United Kingdom, this distance is very long!

And the airship that began to bomb Britain has a very large endurance, and the V1500's 17-hour endurance is terrifying, right? But in fact, the airship flew for a week without any problems...... As long as the person above can solve his own physiological problems, even if he deviates, he will deviate. Flying back is it, but it's not so easy for the plane, the V1500 may be okay, but the number is too small, the price is too expensive, and the real workhorse is bombers such as the O-400 and FB27. So, it was okay for the British to want to bomb the rear of the German front at night, but it was too difficult to bomb Wilhelmshaven.

"We are only discussing technical issues, not falling on other aspects, we should respect the technical officers from the Air Force, but at the same time, we in the Navy also have the right to choose." At this time, Churchill once again came out to be a peacemaker.

"In the case of the bombing of Wilhelmshaven, I propose to use high-explosive shells against port facilities in addition to armor-piercing shells against battleships." Lieutenant General Trenchard said. To be honest, the lieutenant general thinks that it is not reliable to use aircraft to oppose ships, after all, the targets attacked by bombers are generally ...... surface targets and not too hard targets.

For example, bombing an artillery position or something, for example, bombing a military station or something, the target is relatively large, and it is soft. A high-explosive shell can cause serious damage even if it is not a direct hit, but it is not the same when it hits a battleship, a high-explosive shell can damage a battleship, but it is difficult to destroy, as for armor-piercing shells? There are limits to the angle of the dive of the aircraft, as well as to the speed, so according to the basic laws of physics, the horizontal penetration of the bomb is also more problematic. And there is another problem with fighting port warships, even if they are sunk, people can fish them up and .......

"If we calculate the bomb load provided by Your Excellency, I am afraid that the number of bombers we need will skyrocket, and the original scale is not enough for us to completely destroy this largest military port of the German Navy in the North Sea direction." Churchill said thoughtfully that he was now considering "seconding" another batch of bombers from the Air Force through high-level government connections.

"Dear Monsieur Churchill, I personally think that it is unrealistic to rely solely on aviation to inflict heavy damage on Wilhelmshaven, the technical limitations of the Air Force itself are a problem, the attrition of bombers is a more important problem, and the replenishment rate of bombers is an unsolvable problem, you don't think that the Luftwaffe has not deployed air defense forces in this important port, right?"

"From the information we have collected so far, the Luftwaffe has been equipped with a kind of interceptor aircraft specially designed to deal with twin and quadruple bombers, and it has been used on the battlefield on a large scale, and the Russians' Ilya bomber force has been severely damaged by such a force, and this time we have also encountered this kind of powerful twin-engine aircraft in the engagement in the North Sea. Because of the way of delivery, the German seaplane carriers did not carry much, but at the airfield next to the port, the number of such aircraft should be a lot, right? Lieutenant General Trenhard said.

"There may be problems, but I would say that we can't do anything better in the short term, right? Maybe we won't be able to inflict heavy losses on our opponents, but as long as we can temporarily drive them from Wilhelmshaven to Kiel Harbour. Judging by the current situation of battle damage, the Luftwaffe had very limited lethality against our large and medium bombers, both on the Western Front and in the North Sea, and that's a fact, isn't it? ”

In fact, Churchill said, in his mind, Vice Admiral Trenchard only provided technical advice, and did not have the right to decide what the navy should do, or in other words, no matter how difficult the matter was, Churchill believed that the British Royal Navy's bomber unit should circle over Wilhelmshaven as much as possible.

"It seems that we need a completely new attack platform, and perhaps an opinion from General Betty may open the stalemate for us, even if we cannot solve the problem of the intensity of bombing at long distances, but we can at least provide some air cover." Jericho said.
