Chapter 1027: Strategic advantage

Chapter 1027

"Although our current basic conditions are still very rudimentary, we have finally taken the most critical step. More powerful engines, more mature body designs, aircraft carriers for take-off and landing aircraft, and larger air forces and more Reasonable training system. The current naval aviation is like a butterfly. Although it is very fragile, it will set off a storm sooner or later. We don’t have to wait too long. History and battlefields will prove the correctness of what I said. ."

In the end, the prince decided to write a letter to the Kaiser to obtain the official authorization from the other party. Leaving aside, at least the other party should promise to provide the aircraft carrier for the aircraft carrier under reconstruction, right? At the same time, a certain share should be given to the Navy's land-based aviation. Not many dozens, not many 100! The remaining princes find a way to make up. As for it, is it useful to build a strong naval air force at this time? In other words, under the same resources, is the price/performance ratio of naval aviation high enough?

If it were January, the prince could not answer this question, but now, when the Earl of Spey has severely damaged the French fleet and greatly delayed the battle of the Dardanelles, the prince concluded that the naval aviation is now established, Even just a naval aviation force with the ability to attack ships has extremely important significance. While people were still marveling at the courage and combat skills of Count Spey in the night raid on Crete, when people only focused on the impact of the two Allied fleets on the maritime situation, the prince had already realized The battle situation changes from a deep level!

Before, the prince had realized that with the withdrawal of the French navy, the Allied Army on the Eastern Front had sufficient time and strength to complete the encirclement of the Polish pocket and the offensive against the Balkans. Then, after that, the situation in Russia must be more than in history. Oops, if the prince is beautiful enough, then in his pocket in Poland, the prince can hit and kill at least 5 Russian army groups! From the perspective of personnel, it is estimated that it can exceed 1 million, and from the equipment, it is almost all the accumulation of the Russian army before the war! Then want to make up for these losses with Russian industrial capacity? What international joke?

And how long has it been since the war started when it all ended? But only one year! In one year, the European road roller that once shocked and frightened the whole of Europe was forced to the edge of the cliff. So good, what would the Russians do? What will the UK and France do?

They have only one choice! put all one's eggs in one basket! It is possible to launch a containment offensive on the Western Front, but the effect is limited, so their only way is to break through the Dardanelles! To open up the Black Sea channel, although the strait is very narrow, although the mines and submarines here are already invincible, the Allies have no choice!

Ten months before and after the battle for the Dardanelles in history! Britain and France have successively invested half a million troops, and more than 2 dozen battleships participated in the battle! (Most of them were former dreadnoughts) The price was extremely heavy. And this time, Britain, France and even Russia will launch a price regardless of cost in order to break here!

What is excluding cost? It's a double choice question! Win, the Allied powers are superior, Turkey collapses, Russia gains foreign aid, and loses. Not only will Russia be nailed to the last coffin nail, but Britain and France will also be forced to abandon the Eastern Mediterranean completely because of too much loss! There is no American in this plane to pay for the Allies! With the wealth of Britain and France, such a loss can never be borne!

Therefore, the Allied Powers will try their best to fight this war. Around the Dardanelles, Britain and France may land from Greece, and Russia may also launch an offensive from the east. This will be an all-round battle for the strait. war! The entire Balkan region and Asia Minor region will be the battlefield of this battle! Maybe the Allied attack will be very fierce, and the desperate posture will be very scary.

But it is a pity that on this battlefield, the Allies have an absolute advantage, a huge army advantage plus a geographical advantage, and full preparation! This is tantamount to giving the prince a chance to break the game, a chance to hurt the Allied nations with a greater chance of winning and a huge advantage! Here, the blood shed and the national power consumed by the Allied Powers may exceed any previous battles! At this time, naval aviation will become a trump card in the hands of the prince! Immature naval aviation will play a huge role in a specific environment! For example, aerial lightning strikes and aerial mines!

The Allies want to transport troops and equipment to the Balkans, the only way they can go is by sea! Moreover, compared with its powerful strength, its hematopoietic ability can be said to be against the sky. Historically, the Royal Navy, whose replenishment speed is faster than the sinking speed, although the French Navy and the Japanese Navy have certain advantages in strength, the supplementary capabilities and the level of **** are the same. The Royal Navy can't compare, the Japanese can slowly build new Fuso-class battleships, but what about the French now? It is visually estimated that no new battleships will be launched within two years. It is really sinking one ship and one less ship!

Although **** warships can be produced, it is thought that France also shoulders most of the pressure from the Western Front Army~www.wuxiaspot.com~ It is also impossible to supplement **** warships and naval personnel with the French industry and population. Therefore, The attack on the Allied naval forces in the Aegean Sea will directly determine the Balkan theater and the final victory of the Dardanelles battle.

Before the war, the prince requested the formation of a combined Mediterranean fleet of the Allies, equipped with submarines and a naval base in the Marmara Sea, as well as the rendezvous with the Austro-Hungarian fleet in order to win the battle. Now, as the aviation hardware conditions are basically available , Prince You has added a brand new heavyweight bargaining chip for this upcoming battle! And this bargaining chip cannot be copied by the Allies!

The fleet of the Allies can be temporarily blocked in the Dardanelles by the fleet of the Allies, and the submarines can also be handed over to destroyers and trawlers. So what about the plane? Airports deployed in Greece, Serbia and other places will face the attack of the superior German and Austrian army. As long as the prince is willing, it will be a matter of time to get rid of these. It is natural to build airports on some islands in the Aegean Sea, but everyone, the combat range of aircraft at that time was also three digits. Generally no more than 500KM. Is there a feeling beyond reach? In this era, because of the short range of the aircraft, the advantage of home battles is too obvious.
