Chapter 1414: Naval Differences

Cheng Biguang is a more veteran naval officer, from the Beiyang, although he has seen the great power of the aircraft carrier, the aircraft in the future, will replace the role of artillery, but many things are the same, as a naval officer to promote the advance of the Chinese Navy, he knows very well where China is inserted, now in the sneak attack, has proved that an industrial country with a complete industrial chain, as long as there is money, industrial products can be produced casually, but there is a thing, but there is no way to mass production, As long as it is lost, it is lost, and there is no way to replenish it in a short period of time.

That is, people, compared to one or two years, or even two or three years of warships, hard work, is only a matter of time, but the navy soldiers are not only a matter of time, a person from infancy, to young adulthood, needs to do less than 20 years, in which, there must be a certain amount of water, such qualified personnel.

The navy is a technical branch, some navies are almost trained from an early age, even if there is a certain foundation under the premise, it takes at least 5 years or so to be able to train and form, as for the gradual proficiency to become a qualified sailor, it may take 10 years, or even 20 years, China's owner and strong manufacturing capacity, in the level and speed of manufacturing warships, compared with the Americans, can be said to be only strong but not weak, but in the navy, the reason why it has not expanded is that There is no way to train a group of qualified sailors on a large scale, the army, 2-3 years, with Jiang Baili such a master in the case, qualified non-commissioned officers, officers are relatively easy, and then a little experience in it, after a series of catalysis of peace and war, the Chinese army has a strong combat effectiveness, elite degree, compared with Germany.

It's a pity that in the navy, it has always been China's weakest link, up to now, the 4 ocean fleets, there is no way to complete the construction of the foundation in accordance with the outline, no way, the personnel gap is too big, even if there are barely basic piloting personnel, it is not enough to fully exert combat effectiveness, then it really becomes a superficial fleet, a big war, or a fierce war, there will be huge losses.

A main force of the U.S. Navy that has grown up after the Great War in Europe and in the decisive battle of real battleships, a warship of more than 1.2 million tons, and a fleet of more than 40,000 naval officers and soldiers of all kinds, such a fleet, even if it sends down 20,000 people, is a huge blow to the United States, and the Americans are afraid that the most elite naval force is among them, and even if the United States can fight with China to build warships in the future, without qualified personnel, they will be at an absolute disadvantage first. This is also the root cause of the underlying of the blow.

The United States may have a long naval tradition and a larger group of naval signs than China, but if there are more similar strikes, it can also weaken the Americans' heritage, and in the submarine operation, before sinking merchant ships, priority is given to sinking warships, and that's it, for not so little merit, how much merit can be achieved to sink a part of the destroyers, the key is that the people on the destroyers, who can perform this escort mission, may not be the most core personnel, but in the future, they will become qualified personnel after the expansion of the fleet.

According to this statement, a batch of submarines were killed, and when they attacked New York, they killed another batch with the help of submarines, and this time, I am afraid that the Americans will also be broken.

Especially this time, 12 capital ships, if possible, Cheng Biguang will leave at least 6, and the others will be damaged as much as possible, in the duel of battleships, not all of them sink the largest loss, and the loss of serious injuries is not small, in the face of armor-piercing shells and high-explosive bombs, there are not many personnel who can guarantee safety.

According to the speed of the other party, it is impossible to rush over, they should have set off from London a few days ago, and they have not completely crossed the Atlantic Ocean until now, it is estimated that they will arrive near the North Atlantic, and the time of the decisive battle will be 15 days later.

Of course Cheng Biguang will not encounter them in an encounter, the other party is not a vegetarian, a warship of more than 1 million tons, and it is a warship with a neat lineup, if it is really an encounter, I am afraid that it may not be able to win, the strength of the fantasy class is super strong, but there is no complete fleet, even if the Americans are stupid, the British are not stupid, they sent such a huge team, of course they have the ability to win, Cheng Biguang is a veteran, he did not kill the Quartet on the side of the United States, he was arrogant to the extent that he could use 4 fantasy-class ships to fight everything, As a veteran, and fighting on the other side of the globe, stability is overwhelming.

When deciding on the last operation, Cheng Biguang had already sent back to the headquarters the situation and requirements of the battlefield, and the Admiralty was setting up a perfect combat plan, and all he could do was wait, although he knew that the plan he had made at present might not be bad, but it would definitely not be as good as the headquarters, and there would be no omissions, this was certain.

This is a wise saying in ancient Chinese military warfare, and in many cases, it is not easy to grasp the real situation on the scene from a distance of a hundred ploughs, but with the development of technology, especially the development of modern warfare, the rear is always more comprehensive than the front.

The commander of the front line, seeing, is always a little bit of direction, and the rear, but can see perfect, this is also the ancient war, many times, irreconcilable contradictions, the main problem of this contradiction is communication, although in ancient times there were eight hundred miles of urgency, with the help of changing horses or people, with the method of relay, intelligence and information can be sent all the way to thousands of miles away, but after all, this is a delay of a day, the situation on the battlefield is instantaneous, the ancient war is not fast, but a day's time, may be two results, It's still a one-way trip, and the problem is that it can't tell you everything on the front line.

The emergence of radio has solved this biggest problem, through radio, information from the front line can be transmitted to the rear, the emergence of the radio command system composed of a large number of radios in the staff department, in many cases, has reduced the burden on commanders, three people are long and one person is short, hundreds of well-trained staff officers can start from all aspects of the battlefield according to complete intelligence, if the intelligence is perfect enough, and the communication is also smooth, there is not much difference between the front line and the rear. Under certain conditions, the rear is still relatively objective, and it is possible to organize more personnel and carry out the work of setting up, and the combatants only need to do their own things well and deal with the surprise situation.

The Admiralty Staff Department, is already a busy scene, since the war, a similar busy scene has happened privately, especially now, Cheng Biguang asked for support, how to deal with a complete fleet, this has become a topic in front of everyone, to be honest, the resources in Cheng Biguang's hands, a little worse, can not be said to be bad, 4 fantasy class can never be said to be bad, but lack of necessary auxiliary forces, even if the fantasy class is accompanied by 4 heavy cruisers, 8 youth training, 12 destroyers, such a complete force, It is enough to challenge the opponent, and even under certain circumstances, you can completely annihilate the opponent.

It's a pity that for the sake of secrecy, only four capital ships can go, as for the 8 submarines, they don't have much role in the decisive battle of the capital ships, they can only play a role in harassment, and even once exposed, they will even suffer casualties in the face of a complete group of battleships on the other side, and countless light cruisers and destroyers throw depth charges.

Cheng Biguang is not afraid of casualties, he came out of the Beiyang, he could have faced all kinds of casualties a long time ago, what he was really worried about was the fearless casualties, in Europe and the North Atlantic, for more than 2 months of continuous combat, there was no loss of submarines, and even when he was fighting with his followers, there was no loss when he fought, and when it came to the frontal battlefield, at least not fearless losses, 4 capital ships, the number is too small and too little, if he really took advantage of the other capital ships pestering him, he chose to attack them, No matter how powerful the fantasy level is, it can't keep them, and the whip can't reach them.

With the deepening of the study of the front line, the differences on this matter are gradually intensifying, the Qingdao Navy Command, for Cheng Biguang's exploits in the United States, is absolutely encouraged, but for Cheng Biguang's request to fight the last battle, there are still some concerns, and even divided into two categories, one is to support Cheng Biguang, must fight, weaken the potential of the United States, starting from Cheng Biguang's attack on the United States, the resilience shown by the United States is absolutely powerful and shocking, the financial turmoil in New York, the rout on the East Coast, If these two are placed in China, although they may not be overwhelmed, they will also be quite difficult, but the United States is stunned to stop it, and if they don't take advantage of this most dangerous time and the weakest time for the United States, let them continue to lose blood, sorry for the 4 Fantasy-class ships that were sent at the risk.

At this time, the key is to bring back the naval officers and men who have undergone some training, you must know that the thousands of naval officers and men on board are definitely the seeds of the future of the Chinese Navy, as long as they come back, they can immediately impart experience, and bring the old with the new, which greatly increases China's naval heritage.

One is to attack the enemy and weaken the opponent, and the other is to strengthen oneself, both of which make sense, but among these two factions, there are a few high-level leaders who have joined, and no one can convince anyone, and even because the arguments between the two sides have gone too far, driving the following, all of them have disagreements, and even the staff team has given an analysis report in accordance with these two directions, not what Cheng Biguang needs, about how to deal with this war, how to be in an advantageous position, but considering this matter between each other, that direction has the upper hand, In a sense, this is a deviation from the topic, and this is the first time that problems have arisen for the professional Chinese staff.
