It's really a nation that thinks about everything in the direction of sneak attack to win! They also had to work in this direction, who made Japan, as an island country, almost not the slightest mineral resources, and everything dependent on imports. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Countries that lack resources will not have any upright thoughts in their minds about war, and almost without exception will take the cunning road. Even if the current global hegemon Britain, isn't it the same at the beginning of their rise? It is still necessary to wait for Britain to gradually develop and have its own stable supply of resources before it begins to talk about "gentlemen".

However, even Britain, which has become stronger, still has an islander mentality by nature, as can be seen from the fact that it has been a-stirring stick in Europe for hundreds of years. This is also a congenital deficiency of the islanders.

The German Navy needed to learn enough from Japan, and the two countries were severely sanctioned, and the economic and resource situation was terrible; The other is dependent on imports for everything, and is congenitally in a state of serious shortage.

Two countries with similar resource realities can actually go together in the idea of building ships. That is to use more wooden structures, plus the necessary civil engineering, rather than the use of steel in the construction of ships like those rich countries.

Civil engineering for building ships is nonsense? It depends on how it is done. It is important to know that the seemingly wealthy all-steel manufacturing also needs to give way to a certain amount of civil engineering in the future, especially on aircraft carriers.

Li Qi still thinks that several Japanese battlecruisers are very good, such as the "Tone-class", which can theoretically run to 36 knots, and this battleship is at least more suitable for breaking engagements than the "Deutschland-class". In addition, in terms of the cost comparison of the two warships, the "Tone-class" is definitely cheaper than the "Deutschland-class", and at the same time, the performance is actually the "Tone-class" is superior.

"Maybe it's the right idea, but ...... If we had had thought like this from the beginning, we would not have had any chance of gaining control of the sea. Li Qi seemed to have a big heart: "In the last war, our strategy from the beginning was wrong. From the beginning of the 'existence of the fleet', to the later had to go to the open sea for a decisive battle, the first step has taken a fork in the road. This time, we can't think like that again. ”

Yes, the Second German Reich's idea of starting with the construction of the navy was wrong. At the beginning, it was to build a fleet that would make Britain feel the pressure, but the result was that the Second Reich launched one, and the British side dared to launch three ships. Then, in the process of construction, the Second Reich once again lost to the British in the design of battleships. In the end, it was even more sad, incomparable in quality, and even more incomparable in quantity, and after a seemingly tragic Battle of Jutland, the German High Seas Fleet became a swan song.

This time, there are still problems with the thinking of the Navy. The tactics developed by the Navy from the outset carried a strong sense of evasion, simply worse than the Second Reich during the First World War. Li Qi thought about such a large-scale naval construction plan countless times, and perhaps at the beginning he could use submarines and a few broken ships to achieve the goal of blockading the British mainland, but as the broken ships were repeatedly encircled, chased, intercepted and lost, only submarines were left that could play a role.

In addition, submarines were able to play a role, mainly because they forced France to surrender, allowing the German navy to have ports on the west coast of France, and later to force Portugal to make the necessary concessions. Only in this way can German submarines ensure that they are active enough, otherwise if they break through the North Sea or the English Channel from the mainland and go to the Atlantic Ocean to break the engagement, the efficiency will be reduced by I don't know how much.

How many years can a submarine be used to break diplomatic relations? It was probably by 1941 that submarines were no longer so suitable for breaking diplomatic relations. It was not simply because the British engaged in the escort system, but also because the Yankees shamelessly provided escorts to the British as non-belligerents.

The main thing is that it is simply impossible for submarines to maintain a deep dive maneuver, and the depth coefficient is even less high, and reconnaissance planes at sea can easily spot submarines that are not diving in the air, and even submarine that is diving, and then it is time to call a large number of destroyers to come and "blow up the fish."

"Then we ......" Alfred. Valvacit really didn't think that Richie was alarmist, and he frowned: "There is indeed a huge problem with our thinking, a fatal and irreparable mistake!" ”

Li Qi is also a thesis standing in the position of "hindsight", but what he said is not wrong, if the naval construction is carried out according to the ideas of the German Navy, the sea has nothing to do with Germany at all, at least after the submarine is targeted, the sea will no longer have anything to do with Germany.

"The key to our success is the blockade of the British Isles and the forcing of the British Cabinet to succumb to the pressure of the people at home and choose peace." Alfred. Valvacite was talking about the strategy of the German Navy, and his eyes were not focused: "This is already the most feasible strategy." We...... After all, it is impossible to engage in a war of attrition with the British, their base is too strong. ”

"Heritage?" Li Qi smiled: "The times have been advancing, and now the powerful warships have fallen behind after one or two decades." ”

The real problem is that with the passage of time, a large number of warships built by Britain will face obsolescence.

The world economic crisis of 1929 was imminent, and almost all countries would have been hit hard, but the more closed ones should have been.

If Richie remembers correctly, from 1929 until the beginning of the war, Britain did not launch many new ships at all, resulting in the need to rely on the support of the Yankees for just one year after the start of the war.

That is to say, by the time of World War II, Britain's cutting-edge warships were actually not large, and some of the battleships that had high hopes seemed to be in a situation of many disasters, resulting in a Bismarck in the German Navy and the British had to use the entire home fleet to encircle and kill.

Of course, Richie couldn't say those words, and he wouldn't believe the German navy when he said it.

Naturally, the German Navy needed to be built on a large scale, but until 1940, the scale was certainly a big deal, and there were too many resources to allocate to the army and air force, so that the navy could only stand aside for the time being.

For the development of the navy, the sea surface ships are probably four, three, one, and one, which are four light cruisers, three heavy cruisers, one battleship, and one aircraft carrier, which is absolutely the limit. And then there must be no shortage of submarines, in fact, by 1939 the number of submarines in possession could not be less than 180 units, and then the number of submarines in construction should be 20% higher than the loss per month. As a result, there were more than 300 submarines by 1940.

"Shore-based sea aircraft, here is the key to our victory." Li Qi did not hide the importance he attached to the Air Force: "A real and effective experiment that took place on the American side has proven that a bomb from the sky can easily destroy any warship. If one bomb can't be blown up, then two, three, four...... Until the battleship is blown up! ”

Alfred. Salvachit was a little stunned at first, then nodded: "Yes, we have also done relevant experiments, and we can do this." ”

"Not only bombs, torpedoes can also be carried by aircraft!" Li Qi is saying a truth: "The future will no longer be the era of giant ships and cannons, and the trend of reality is that whoever has more aircraft carriers will have as much output as possible." Beat a seemingly formidable battleship like a fly with a lightly costly plane, and then sink her. ”

On the German side, there are also "giant ship artillery faction" and "aircraft carrier faction", but the contradiction is not as sharp as that of the Japanese navy. The real situation is that the German Navy has collectively thought that the aircraft carrier faction is developing, reality is reality, and reality with evidence is even more reality.

The German Army seized the pulse of the times, used the theories of French and British theorists to develop its own "blitzkrieg", and even made full use of British and French research products, tanks and other armored weapons to develop its own system of armored weapons.

Someone in Italy put forward the theory of air force victory, and someone on the German side immediately followed suit, and it soon became clear that a country really needed a strong air force. However, on the German side, the idea that victory in the war could be achieved with the air force was generally not accepted, and it was believed that any branch of the army was ultimately cooperating with the infantry, and that no matter what kind of war, the infantry would always be the main force.

That's a good point. Isn't it? Whether it is armored weapons or aviation weapons, it is ultimately in the service of the occupation of land by infantry. Therefore, the core theory of "blitzkrieg" researched by those guys of the German Army is that no matter how wild the armored divisions are, no matter how strong the air force is, in order to break through, cut off the enemy's logistics, cause chaos in the enemy's army, and give the most shocking spiritual blow, and then the infantry division (motorized infantry division or cavalry division) that follows in the rear will encircle and annihilate the panicked enemy army.

Repeatedly using the cooperation of armored troops and air forces to find and tear apart the enemy's defense line, repeatedly making the enemy think that there is no way back, and also cutting off logistics, this method of operation is actually not very complicated, but in terms of instant communication and coordination between all parties, there must be a strong command center, and officers who can live up to their mission and carry out tactics are all the more needed.

The German Army did not lack good officers. Feng. Seckert first trained 100,000 troops as officer seeds, and later added 25,000. A total of 125,000! It is best to become a qualified squad leader if they are pulled out one by one, not to mention the group of people who are already officers, the company commander can be the battalion commander, the battalion commander can be the regiment ......commander, and even the group army commander has emerged in large numbers.

With this foundation of 125,000 and a series of measures, Li Qi believes that by 1936, the army will not have any problems at all, that is, some Junker officers need to be dealt with.

"Huh? Yes. Li Qi nodded: "The Navy needs to have its own aviation." It's time to start your own club. ”

They were now on the train again, and they were heading to the port of Kiel, another major port in Germany, but facing the Nordic countries.

"Air Force ...... Shouldn't it be completely under the management of the Air Department? "Herman. Goering's face was depressed: "The navy must have its own aviation, the army must have its own aviation, and in the end, the air force is not an independent department at all. ”

Speaking of which, there are really not many air forces in the world that have their own armies, which are basically subordinate arms of the army.

Herman. What kind of "love for birds" is Goering working on, or will he be the first advocate of bird care (at least as history records) as history has done, and the "possessiveness" of anything that can fly in the air seems to be being excavated?

Li Qi is really afraid that this "fat man" will do something inexplicable, and he has always been reused, but he will never let Herman. Goering was solely responsible for what was going on in the Air Force.

[If the Air Force is still destroyed in the hands of this 'fat man' this time, swallowing poison in the bunker is almost inevitable. 】

This dead "fat man" has done too much bastard, and without him, Dunkirk would have been a different result, and then the elite of the Air Force would not have been almost all buried in the English Channel. When it comes to the back, it really needs a group of elites to deal with the increasingly serious strategic bombing of the ground air force, and the result is that it really can't come up with much.

"Leader." Adolph. Hitler frowned all the way and was silent for a long time before he spoke: "Until 1936, we will not expand the army?" ”

It's weird, in this "time and space", Adolf. Hitler seems to have a bit of a pleasant feeling with those Junkers? In particular, a group of people in the army were very kind to him, a sergeant-turned-key member of the Chancellery, and many of them even thought that Adolf was a member of the Chancellery. Hitler could serve as an example for the soldiers at the bottom.

What role model? It was in the First World War as a foreign soldier, as a herald, to faithfully fulfill his responsibilities in a dangerous profession, and to be able to complete the tasks assigned by the officers well.

Adolph. Hitler was undoubtedly really good as a non-commissioned officer, almost to the point of being impeccable. Those Junckers think Adolf. Hitler, to some extent, served as an example, and really didn't find the wrong person.

"No, no, no, Adolf." Li Qi raised his hand and shook it: "We are already expanding the army. ”

Another "time and space" is called the "Labor and Happiness Organization," which is a military training organization that has not been made public. In this "time and space" of Richie, the Free Corps was never disbanded, and then a "construction corps" was organized. In fact, it is an alternative expansion of the army, the difference is that it does not change into a formal military uniform. (To be continued.) )
