Chapter 232: Naval Software

"In terms of radio communication and reconnaissance, we seem to be not doing enough. I think the Navy has not yet established a complete maritime and land-based radio communication system, right?" After speaking, His Royal Highness looked towards Lieutenant General Liao Le.

"We are working on the establishment. It is expected that by the end of next year, all warships can be equipped with corresponding radio equipment, but this equipment is very unstable and the effective distance is very close..." Liao Le now has a complete one. The feeling of lying down with a gun.

"Establishing a radio communication link is more than just a set of equipment. It is enough to train some personnel. This is a system. I must remind everyone that this is a system! Not only hardware is needed, but software is needed to ensure naval communications. I would like to ask, what plan has the Navy made for the design of radio secrets? How often will the Navy codebook be updated? How to prevent the codebook from falling into the enemy’s hands if a battleship sinks or is captured? Have you ever thought about it? ?"

Having said that, His Royal Highness wanted to be speechless about the radio communication and secrecy in German history. If the Russians accidentally discovered the German Navy codebook on the sunken ship as an accident, then the German Navy has not changed the code itself is dead. From the beginning of the war, the codebook was obtained, and the British knew the actions of the German Navy by this codebook, which was almost equivalent to playing Warcraft!

  The Germans suffered a loss in the Battle of Sandbanks, and they ran into the Great British Fleet in the Battle of Jutland. Such an obvious thing could not attract the attention of the high level of the German Navy. His Royal Highness was a speechless! The British intelligence agency knows more about the movement of the German navy than the German Admiralty, which is a shame!

Of course, it must be admitted that the intelligence talent of the Germans in World War I was indeed too bad. According to the prince’s memory, it seems that in World War I, the German radio code will be deciphered by the Allies after a week of use... .... Obviously, the codebook cannot be changed once a week. 2 Although the German Enig cipher machine had a great reputation during the war, with the help of mathematicians and the "bomb" deciphering machine, the deciphering of German general telegrams by the Allied forces in the latter part of the war could actually be compressed to a few hours... ... Faced with this situation, His Royal Highness can only say that it is not that Germany is not strong, but that the other party is too strong!

  Since the traverser has come and has come to this point, the intelligence tragedy in the history of the German navy cannot be repeated. "As a member of the imperial army, I have to say that the imperial army’s intelligence security work has too many problems. Let’s take the code as an example. It is nothing more than the repeated superposition of various simple codes. After the other party intercepts the telegram, according to us It’s easy to judge the correspondence of the ciphertext in the intelligence. And our password update is too slow. You always think that your intelligence system is foolproof. In fact, I want to say that this idea is completely wrong." Rupp Recht continued to be this villain.

"Radio telegrams are more likely to be intercepted, and confidentiality cannot meet the needs. This is a great hidden danger for the Imperial Navy and the Army. At least I personally have a little distrust of the Imperial secrecy system. In the Bavarian Army, we have begun to explore the use of a brand-new cryptographic communication device. I talked about this device with the Chief of the Army’s General Staff, Earl Schrieffen. At least he and his subordinates can’t do anything about this system. I think my navy colleagues We can learn from it."

His Royal Highness has nothing to do with intelligence and passwords. After all, he is not doing this. He only knows a little about Enig's cipher machine, but this thing is enough for World War I. Anyway, there is no "bomb" deciphering machine in World War I. This thing will not appear in the so-called commercial version, and if it is rare, it will be more difficult to be deciphered. After all, the historical Enig cipher machine was cracked because the Allies obtained multiple physical objects before deciphering.

"It makes sense. Regarding passwords and intelligence, the Admiralty needs to have more exchanges with Prince Ruprecht." Prince William is also aware of some things. After all, if there is no royal acquiescence, Ruprecht will not. May have a relationship with the Imperial General Staff. In terms of radio communication and intelligence, the two had already passed their anger, and they were short of finding a suitable opportunity to speak out. His Royal Highness thought that this opportunity today was a good one.

"The second is the most critical issue I want to talk about today, and that is the future construction of the German navy's capital ship. Everyone until my design bureau started as a cruiser. Many people in the Admiralty said that I was a cruiser. , But now, I need to reiterate, I just choose the best, not limited to a certain ship type."

"In fact, to some extent, it is not an exaggeration that the Asama-class cruiser we built for Japan is called a second-class battleship. A whole new type of ship has begun to break the inherent naval classification, and the boundary between battleship and cruiser will be With the development of science and technology further blurred, a ship with battleship-level artillery, cruiser speed, and a certain amount of armor protection will gradually become one of the navy’s battleships. Of course, we have four new battleships. They already have this feature~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Their speed is not slow, but what I want to say is, it's not enough!"

"The cruiser gave up heavy armor and large-caliber artillery to achieve a maximum speed of 23 knots. With a certain tonnage limit, strengthening one aspect will inevitably weaken the other. The type of warship you envision will face a cruiser. Back to full advantage, but still unable to deal with battleships. Unless your battleship tonnage is larger than the opponent." Tirpitz said.

  As an admirer of fundamental battleships, Tirpitz's affection for battleships is quite deep, although the firepower of most battleships of the German Second Reich is a bit uncomfortable with tonnage...

"New technology, new technology! As a high-level navy, don’t you have even a little sensitivity to technology? Let a group of civilians and bureaucrats plan the future equipment of the German Navy. I am very worried! The British have already begun to use it. A brand-new main engine is used to power the battleship. The Bromfors Shipyard has already started to use a coal and heavy oil boiler. Didn’t you find anything from it?” His Royal Highness looked distressed.

   "If I were William II, I think I should establish a naval equipment department independent of the other three naval departments." Ruprecht said in his heart.
