Chapter 911: I can't learn at home
In the eyes of the British, Japan designed the battleships almost according to the ideas of the German battleships, and then imported steam turbines, artillery and fire control from the British to build the Fuso-class battleships, but in fact, in the eyes of Prince Ruprecht, or others who were familiar with German battleships, the Japanese did get some things from Argentina, but at most they only learned a few things, some core, key things still did not learn .......

Do you really think that the Germans don't know how to keep their own secrets? Although the Argentines took real money, the Germans would not have sold all the secrets and design concepts of their ships, right? This is a war, the battleship is the important weapon of the country, the decisive force on the sea, so easy to tell it? Do you really think the Germans are stupid?
For example, the side armor, in fact, when building the Scharnhorst-class battleships, the German battleships had already adopted the structure of an outer thin steel plate and an inner layer of large-thickness hardened armor plates, the outer steel plate was used to peel off the armor-piercing shell's cover, and the inner layer of hardened armor plate was used to crush the projectile body. And this was not shown by the Germans on the drawings to Argentina, and the Japanese, naturally, did not know about it.
How big can this gap be? LET'S PUT IT THIS WAY, THE 320MM ARMOR PLATE WITH AN 18-DEGREE INCLINATION CAN ALMOST BE USED IN THE FIRST WAR IN HISTORY, AND THE 60MM PLUS 260MM SIDE DEFENSE CAN ALREADY FACE MOST OF THE SITUATION IN THE SECOND WORLD WAR IN HISTORY, AND THE GAP IS SO BIG .......
For example, on the Bavaria-class battleships, foamed cement was actually added to the outermost empty compartment to curb water ingress, and at the same time, the bottom of the battleship's ammunition depot was not only a three-layer bottom. THERE IS EVEN A LAYER OF ARMOR WITH A THICKNESS OF 40MM, ALTHOUGH THERE WAS NO MAGNETIC FUSE TORPEDO SPECIFICALLY KNOCKED ON THE BOTTOM OF THE SHIP IN THE FIRST WAR, BUT IT IS ALWAYS NECESSARY TO MENTION THE WATERPROOF MINE, ....... It is impossible to say how to touch this thing with mines, and there is no rule that mines can only blow up the side ....... At the same time, some of the watertight compartments of German warships also adopted the principle of communicators. When one side is flooded, a part of the water flows down the pipe at the bottom of the ship to the other side to balance the ship's attitude. None of this appears on the blueprints.
In terms of horizontal defense, in fact, on the main horizontal armor, there is a layer of shipbuilding steel plate with a large thickness, which is used to strip off the armor-piercing shell cap fired from the horizontal direction, and this does not appear on the design drawing, so it is difficult to say that the Japanese 3-inch horizontal armor can be used in World War I, because this three-inch armored division counts the thickness of the back plate, and the back plate is not a homogeneous steel armor used for normal horizontal defense!
As for weapons, it seems that the 10 15-inch guns of the Fuso-class battleships have 25% more tubes than the 8 15-inch battleships of Bavaria, but even if you simply calculate the projection, the Fuso-class has no advantage, and the Japanese almost follow the guns and turrets of the British, and it takes about 40 seconds to complete a firing cycle, while the fastest in Bavaria is 23 seconds at a time, and even at a normal speed, the slowest is 30 seconds! The rapid opening and closing of the German gun latch and the perfect mechanized reloading system brought about a rate of fire advantage was too obvious, which is why the prince finally accepted the design of the eight 15-inch guns in history. Because it's enough!
In terms of projection, once it enters the effectiveness of the shooting, the German battleships do not suffer, and if you want to talk about the quality of the projection, then the German fleet has a greater advantage, not to mention that the Germans use a 9-meter asana rangefinder, which has a better ranging effect, and the new fire control computer can better describe the navigation of both sides. Simply talking about armor-piercing bullets ....... Whether it is in history or in this plane, it is no problem for the Allied countries to be the first in the world in armor-piercing projectile technology, right? Who will compete with the British before the green pop up?!
What's more, in this plane, the Germans use hard quilt caps, heavy bombs, and have a more slender projectile body, long-distance velocity, and penetration depth are more against the sky than the German armor-piercing bullets in history, that is, bad luck, otherwise, there is hope for 350MM heavy artillery to hit the queen. With such a powerful weapon, the prince thought that it was unscientific that the British had sunk only six ships in the Battle ......of Thunder-Thurbrus, and that it was estimated that God was on the side of the British at that time.
And what about the Japanese? It's not clear what armor-piercing bullet the prince will use, but if you don't even have a green bullet now, then don't expect much depth of penetration. Therefore, to sum up, the level of the Fuso-class battleships is far superior to the historical ship of the same name, and it is much stronger than the British Queen, but it is still inferior to the top Bavaria-class fast battleships in Germany.
Of course, Jericho and others don't understand these things, and professionals like Incott won't understand either, after all, the drawings obtained by the Japanese are just some fragmented versions, and the intelligence is not well collected, so what is the objectivity, fairness and correctness to talk about? In the eyes of the British, the Fuso-class battleships of the Japanese fleet could not only make up for the lack of a fast fleet, but also restrain the existence of Bavaria-class battleships, so both Fisher and Churchill now hoped that the Japanese Navy could play a more important and proactive role in this war!
Let the Japanese Combined Fleet share the pressure, this is a very good idea, with the Japanese fleet here, not to mention killing Su Xiong who was dangling in the Indian Ocean, right? It's okay to contain them. After entering the Mediterranean, it is also possible to drive the Allied Mediterranean Fleet into the Strait of Dadanelles. Even coming to the North Sea and suppressing the German fleet together can achieve certain results, of course, now it is only conceived like this. There are still many problems to be done in order to realize this plan, for example, how to convince the Japanese Navy to enter the war is a big problem.
Of course, this question does not need to be persuaded by Churchill, after all, Churchill does not care about diplomacy, and now Churchill needs to consider how to persuade Prime Minister Herbert in his meeting with the Prime Minister tonight. Henry. Asquith, so that he can reach an agreement with the Japanese as soon as possible in order to relieve the pressure on the Royal Navy.
"Sir Fisher, Admiral Jericho, let's go with the Prime Minister tonight to discuss the issue of our allies, this time it is not a matter of the Navy, and I hope you will cooperate." At the end of the meeting, Churchill said to the two of them, everyone is working in the navy, look up and don't look down, there are any contradictions to discuss, but don't make any moths when facing the prime minister!
"Okay, I'll do my best." Jericho nodded. And Fisher on the side also nodded silently, maybe there will be a scapegoat among the three of them, but at least for now, they will have to work together!
