Chapter 579: The Beginning of a New Era
It is difficult to increase the funds of the fleet any further, just such a small amount of money, and it is necessary to have quantity but not quality, and quality but not quantity. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info purely from the performance and tactical use of battleships, His Royal Highness ****'s work is definitely much better than Tirpitz's, maybe according to Tirpitz's fleet construction plan, the German Navy can indeed have so many more dreadnoughts, but the problem is that the speed of these battleships is too slow or the caliber of the guns is too small, the damage to the opponent is limited, whether they can rush to the battlefield is a problem, and whether they can effectively kill the opponent after rushing to the battlefield is another problem, In the case that such a fast warship does not have many opponents, and the overall scale is simply incomparable, neither Admiral Boll nor Admiral Liao Le will choose to support Tirpitz.
Tirpitz obviously also knew the bottom line of 1912, from the current point of view, the British did not know the general speed of German battleships, and the German Navy did a good job of secrecy this time, they modified all the relevant data, except for a very few people who knew, most of the others, including the designers, did not know. They never thought that their battleship had such a powerful power system and could run ......so fast.
In fact, in the 1st World War, the actual output power of the battleship was generally higher than the rated power, and the theoretical speed of 25 knots, in fact, it was relatively common to be able to run 27 knots, for example, the historical Lütsov, the speed of the battle cruiser was generally about 2 knots higher than expected. This is a 2-section high-speed section, which requires a lot of power.
Of course, you have to ask if there is an actual speed lower than the theoretical speed, and of course there is. For example, in history, the Queen Elizabeth-class battleships were theoretically supposed to reach a speed of 25 knots, but in practice, none of them met the standard, and the poor design and overweight hull made all this come to naught. Because of its overweight, the Elizabeth-class fast battleships could only run at speeds close to 24 knots at 7.1 to 76,000 horsepower. The Nagato, on the other hand, was one lap larger than the Queen, and could run at a speed of 26.7 knots with an output of 95,000 horsepower, which was nearly 3 knots ...... faster.
"Actually, you won, Your Highness the honorable Ruprecht ****, in fact, you won from the very beginning, before the meeting began, I already knew the result, the two admirals and I will build the German Imperial Navy under your leadership, I hope your performance will not let the German Empire, let His Majesty the Emperor, let us down. You'll never face human resistance from the Admiralty again. After a long time, Tirpitz threw in the towel and said these words. Don't say it, it's really confusing for someone.
"I really didn't expect the end result to be like this, I was going to spend three days convincing Tirpitz to accept my proposal, and then two more days to convince the Kaiser that he would delegate more power. But the result was very surprising to me, the three days were shortened to two hours, and Tirpitz, who had always given me the impression of stubbornness, actually admitted defeat, he gave up his risk fleet, gave up his persistence, and chose to believe me. ”
"It's hard for me to describe how I felt at the time, I saw loneliness and decadence in his eyes, but at the same time there was a sense of relief and hope. I had very mixed feelings. His Royal Highness **** wrote in his diary. There is no doubt that Tirpitz loved the Imperial Navy. Otherwise, he would not have sent all his sons to the navy, and in the extremely risky light cruiser fleet, which was obviously a high-risk post compared to the capital ships that were generally not dispatched and the offices that were almost risky.
And in fact, shortly after the start of the war. In the Battle of Helgoland Bay in 1914, Tirpitz's son, Woolf. Captain Tirpitz was on board the light cruiser Mainz, and when Goodenough's British fleet said that the ship was almost destroyed, the young officer transferred the remaining personnel of the ship to the lifeboat, and when the British tried to persuade him to leave, the son of the Admiral politely refused, and eventually returned to the battered battleship to sink with him.
Although for Woolf. Tirpitz's approach is debatable, but the Tirpitz father and son's loyalty and love for the Imperial Navy is unquestionable, and they made it a cause and put all their heart and soul into it, not to mention the strategy of the Admiralty, at least not in terms of attitude.
For this kind of personality, His Royal Highness **** still respects, and for Tirpitz's ability to make money and agitate, His Royal Highness **** can only be described with two words of admiration. If Tirpitz is willing to hand over all his rights and cooperate with himself, His Royal Highness **** will still cooperate well with this minister.
And after Tirpitz made a statement, von . General Boll and General Liao Le also expressed their support for ****, although **** does not have a definite official position now, but between the particularity of the German government, the final decision is always the Kaiser, for ****, as long as you can get the trust of the Kaiser, just like the historical Tirpitz, although only one of the Big Three, but because of the Kaiser's trust, his actual power is significantly higher than the other two. It's just that this plane has been replaced by Ruprecht.
Invisibly, a new era began, an era dominated by His Royal Highness Ruprecht of Bavaria **** began, after more than ten years of hard work, this traverser finally used his ability and wrist to obtain the Kaiser's affirmation, cleared all kinds of internal obstacles, and an era that belonged to him has just begun!
"In one of the offices of the German Admiralty, the era of the old High Seas Fleet headed by Tirpitz, Secretary of State for the Navy, came down the stage of history, although they were still very active in the political arena and in the Admiralty building, but the power to decide and plan had gradually shifted to the hands of a behind-the-scenes operator - Ruprecht ****, who was called the top royal family of his time in Europe, began his plans and dealt a great blow to the British Empire in World War I, This **** from a remote part of Germany used a war to bring down one empire and wreak havoc on another, and a new global empire was born! After the war, Churchill wrote in his memoirs.
Of course, these are all afterthoughts, although the situation has taken a turn for the worse, but the prince is also prepared, since today Tirpitz has admitted defeat, and even completed the secret transfer of power, then the prince can move on to the next problem, that is, the construction of light warships of the German Navy and future strategy and tactics. The prince needs to build the German light cruiser formation into a swift and lethal sea light cavalry, which integrates a series of tasks such as reconnaissance, confrontation with the opposing light cruisers, and breaking the ocean-going blockade and breaking diplomatic relations! To some extent, the future light cruiser formations may perform more missions than large capital ships!
