Outside Cuxhaven. Pen ~ fun ~ Prince www.biquge.info and his party sat on the German royal yacht Hohenzollern and went to the exercise area, which is depressing enough, if you look at the assets held by the family, Bavaria has surpassed the German royal family. Even far more than a whole bunch of big German capitalists and bankers such as Krupp. In terms of the wealth at the disposal of the family, the Wittelsbach family is not only the first in Germany, but also the top three in Europe! As for whether it can be compared with the Rockefeller and Boston family conglomerates, this is not clear.

But such a powerful, wealthy and prominent family does not have a high-end yacht of its own, which is really embarrassing, and it feels very shameless to outsiders. The prince's grandfather is old, and rarely comes out, so he doesn't need it, the prince's father is interested in this, but after taking over as the king of Bavaria, everything is riddled with things, and now Bavaria needs him to deal with too many things, in addition to the extra N factories, the relationship between Bavaria and the Kaiser and the Austrian emperor has also become very delicate. As for the prince? In the eyes of this later traveler, it is better to build a few more submarines with the money to build yachts......

(Historically, the assets of the German royal family seem to be only in the top 10 in Germany, and Krupp ranks higher in terms of assets than the Kaiser, who theoretically owns all of Germany.) ）

In the open sea, two target ships sailed slowly under the tugboat tow. If you simply hit a fixed target, it will naturally not be convincing, so the prince decided to increase the difficulty a bit. Two target ships passed in front of the yacht at a speed of about 8 knots, and at this moment, the sound of engines from the southwest sky attracted the attention of everyone present.

The first batch of more than 20 bombers and torpedo planes entered the market. In fact, the torpedo machine of this era was actually a bomber ...... that could carry fish. Before the maturity of large-angle dive bombing, bombers could only dive at small angles, or simply horizontal bombing, until the results of the aircraft reached a certain level. If you make an analogy, it is the same as the Japanese Navy torpedo plane carrying 800KG of special armor-piercing shells in Pearl Harbor for horizontal bombing, well, that's it!

To be honest, this exercise, the prince has been "rehearsed" several times, not to mention that although the target of this attack is moving, it cannot be dodged. The first to approach was the formation of torpedo planes, under the command of Second Lieutenant Rudel, 4 torpedo planes quickly reduced their altitude after discovering the target, and soon descended from 500 meters to 150 meters, and finally approached the target almost close to sea level, the 4 planes again divided into two groups, and Ensign Rudel and his companions attacked for the first time,

Looking at the goal that gradually became clear in the distance, Rudel asked the shooter in the back seat to make the final preparations, and when the two sides were only 500 meters apart, the shooter in the back seat pulled down the handle at the bow position! A 350MM TORPEDO MADE AN ARC IN THE AIR AND FELL INTO THE WATER, THE TORPEDO WAS SET TO A DEPTH OF 3 METERS, THANK GOODNESS THE ENGINE OF THE TORPEDO WAS TURNED ON AFTER REACHING THE SPECIFIED DEPTH, AND AT THE SAME TIME THE GYROSCOPE AND PROPELLER WERE NOT DAMAGED, A STRAIGHT WHITE LINE QUICKLY APPROACHED THE TARGET FROM BELOW THE SEA SURFACE!

“？！ I'm going, what's the situation?! Rudel was sure he saw the torpedo hit the side of the target ship and sink to the bottom of the sea. Damn, it can't be a problem with the fuse, right? "The torpedo fuse will have some problems from time to time, and the probability is about 2 percent. Another torpedo attack plane next to it missed the shot, and this torpedo passed the side of the hull and sailed into the distance.

"This attack doesn't seem to have been very successful." Prince Heinrich touched his chin and said.

"The last time the aircraft carrier did not make a sortie of only 2 aircraft." The prince said disapprovingly. Even if the target is a target ship traveling at low speeds, you can't expect a torpedo hit rate of more than 50% without interference. This is all tolerable. After all, if an aircraft carrier attacks a battleship, it must be at least a two-digit attack aircraft.

Fortunately, the two torpedo planes in the second wave of attacks performed well, and the fourth torpedo entered the water safely, and there were no problems with the fuse, and they accurately hit the target ship. With a loud bang, the 3,000-ton target ship was blown into two parts. At this time, there was a smile on the faces of the senior German naval officers who were watching.

However, before the prince could breathe a sigh of relief, when he bombed the No. 2 target ship, something went wrong again. Because this time, the target ship found by the German Navy seems to be smaller, 500 tons smaller than the 3,000-ton target ship of torpedo attack! That is, the displacement of a 2-war destroyer, the length is only 80 meters, and the width is just over 14 meters ....... Coupled with the speed of 10 knots, this made the pilots of the Swordfish Wing feel a little troublesome!

"I'll go, why is the target so small this time? Aren't we dealing with capital ships? Who of you has ever seen a capital ship of the same specification as a torpedo boat! The pitcher in the back seat scolded with one hand.

"Okay, don't complain, I'll lower the height to 150 meters. You do your best. The pilot in the front seat also said a little depressed.

The first bomb fell into the water in an arc in the air, followed by the second, the third, ....... The fifth shot ....... After the first group of planes dropped bombs, they decisively took a spare egg and went back to .......

"This, the effect of the air-to-sea attack is really bad, if you look at this hit rate, it is only 20% hit rate at most, and this is still against a target that has no counterattack ability and no more than 10 knots at the same time." Scheer on the side was also a little unbearable.

"If we send 20 bombers at a time, then there is a 20% chance that 4 will hit the target, and one plane can only carry one 300KG bomb. Although the bomb charge is a bit high, the killing effect is still very average. "Feng. Admiral Ball continued.

Fortunately, the next two attacks were not bad, and the sixth and seventh bombers dropped accurate bombs on the target ship. 150KG of explosives is no joke, the second hit is a complete waste, just one bomb blew this guy who only has the size of a destroyer to pieces! So far, although the performance this time is not satisfactory, the result is okay, at least two target ships have not been towed back.

"I was very impressed by this exercise, at least let us know that it is feasible to attack warships from the air, I would like the Kaiser to report everything, considering this efficiency, I think that the other two aircraft carriers can choose ordinary ships, not high-speed ships. The number of carrier-based aircraft can also be appropriately reduced. Prince Heinrich said.
