Chapter 2848: Trial Four

　　

"Although we have certain differences in the size and performance limits of warships, I think that we actually want this treaty to take shape. Therefore, in order to make this treaty binding, I think we must start from the source. Plug some loopholes. The Imperial Navy believes that the vicious competition of large cruisers is likely to make our plans go to naught." Su Xiong said.

　　

"It is necessary to restrict the vicious competition of large cruisers. We must restrict the tonnage of warships and the structure of weapons. However, from the perspective of the United States Navy, large cruisers are an indispensable part of the navy, and we will use A large number of large cruisers form an advantage over the Japanese navy. We are targeting the Japanese and have nothing to do with your country. After all, both your country and our country can come up with more than 4 battleship detachments. Large cruisers face the real battleships. It's vulnerable," Sims said.

　　

　　 "Unexpectedly, it makes sense." Su Xiong said in his heart. In fact, in the current situation, although the Germans have not stated clearly, it is clear that the US Navy is currently the only imaginary enemy of the German Navy. Looking around the world, the British navy has sunk to the west, the French and Italians are even weaker, and the Japanese navy is thousands of miles away and can't take care of itself. Therefore, the only capable and willing to confront Germany is the US Navy.

　　

　　 Is what Sims said makes sense? It certainly makes sense. The size of the Japanese main fleet is limited, and the mobilization of the large fleet is very cumbersome. If the two sides engage in battle in the Dutch East Indies in the future, battles between battleships are one aspect, but more are battles at the cruiser and destroyer level. This phenomenon was manifested in the original Battle of New Ireland. Although a war broke out between the two sides, before the war broke out, the destroyers and light cruisers of the two sides also continued to fight.

　　

　　 Even in a large-scale battle, the damage to the cruiser by the 10-inch artillery is obvious to all. Old Fletcher crippled the Japanese light cruiser squadron with an old-fashioned armored cruiser through clever ambush. In the subsequent anti-breaking battles, the large cruisers performed well, and in the Sulawesi Sea that just ended, the large cruisers performed well. And most importantly, because of the cost of large cruisers, the weaker Japan cannot match the Americans in this regard. If the tonnage of the main fleet is locked again, then the advantage of the large cruisers will be even greater!

　　

　　 But you have to say that the Americans strongly advocated large cruisers only to deal with Japan, that is impossible! One of the dark arrows is also directed at the German! What is the biggest weakness of the German Navy relative to the US Navy? That is, Germany must ensure the safety of its communication lines on the west coast of Africa! Take the initiative. Now half of the West Coast of Africa is a German colony. There are a large number of ports here, and a large amount of materials are imported or shipped out at all times. The Atlantic route has become very important to Germany.

　　

　　 Then, not surprisingly, the Germans will have to face the possible broken battles this time! Because of the fight against the powerful U.S. Navy, battleships and aircraft carriers must be used intensively. And if at this time, the U.S. Navy has a large cruiser on the west coast of Africa, what about the Germans? Use colonial cruiser or destroyer Kagegang? Isn't that looking for death?

　　

　　 And if such a few more warships come, it will put a lot of pressure on the German maritime transportation lines. Perhaps the actual loss will not be great, but the energy involved and the mental pressure caused will not be small, and because of the addition of large cruisers, the strength of the **** fleet must be increased. That is not the standard that a few destroyers can disperse submarines. So this matter is very troublesome for Germany!

　　

　　 Therefore, if you want the U.S. Navy to abandon the large cruisers, I am afraid it will be somewhat difficult. And the best way for the German Navy to respond is to follow the opponent's footsteps. Find ways to form your own unique advantage in the field of large cruisers!

　　

"However, I still agree with your proposal to restrict vicious competition. The tonnage of large cruisers is limited to less than 20,000 tons, and we must strictly limit the size of the gun ring, the ammunition bay below, and the installation space of the servo equipment. How about suggesting that future large cruisers are not allowed to use triple-mounted main guns?" Sims thought for a while and said.

　　

"Grass the grass! This is really amazing!" Hearing this, Su Xiong couldn't help giving Sims a thumbs up. This method can be said to almost eliminate the possibility of changing the gun. You can change the main gun of the triple mount to a caliber. Large double-mounted main guns are okay, but if you want to double to double, this is more difficult, not to say that it is impossible, but to say that the design and construction are too difficult, and the gain is not worth the loss.

　　

　　 "I think this issue is feasible, but we are not decision makers after all, and some things need to be discussed." Su Xiong has already figured out the American attitudes towards large cruisers, and the Americans will definitely keep large cruisers. But it also agreed to implement a certain degree of restrictions. This is not only for Germany, but also for Japan.

　　

After finalizing the large cruiser, in fact, the meaningful conversation tonight has ended here. The Americans have revealed a lot of news, at least a year after Sims's seemingly unintentional utterance, with the United States The sentence that the fleet visited Germany is worth it!

　　

　　 is not to say that ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Germans will completely solve the Middle East problem within one year. In fact, the Middle East problem cannot be solved within one year. It is absolutely impossible for the Americans to end the war within one year, but this does not prevent the Germans from inferring from this the plan of the U.S. Navy and the replenishment of troops based on this timetable.

　　

　　 On the other hand, both sides actually expressed the meaning of maintaining stability after the war. The Germans wanted to continue to digest their new territories and colonies, and the Americans also needed to heal the wounds of the war. The naval arms limitation treaty is a historical inevitability. As the two most powerful countries in the world, when formulating this naval treaty covering the entire planet, they must first reach a rough agreement with each other.

　　

　　 It is true that Germany and the United States are potential enemies, but other second-rate countries will also have an impact on the situation under the double-power game. How to restrict other countries under the framework of the two powers at the same time is also one of the goals of the two countries. The Germans are still wary of France, they have no favor with Italy, and the British are ready to kill their opponents at all times. Japanese are not good things either. What about Americans? Americans have no friends now! Sometimes the situation of the two countries is really similar.
