Chapter 579: The beginning of a new era
It is difficult to increase the fleet's funding even further. Just a small amount of money, the quantity is not the quality, and the quality is not the quantity. Purely from the performance and tactical use of warships, His Royal Highness's work is definitely better than Tirpitz's. Perhaps according to Tirpitz's fleet construction plan, the German Navy can indeed have so many dreadnoughts, but the problem is Yes, the speed of these warships is too slow or the caliber of the artillery is too small, and the damage to the opponent is limited. Whether they can reach the battlefield is a problem. Whether they can effectively kill the opponent after reaching the battlefield is another question. This fast warship has no opponents. Many, when the overall scale is simply incomparable, neither Admiral Boll nor Admiral Liao will choose to support Tirpitz.
Tirpitz obviously also knew the bottom line of 1912. From the current point of view, the British are not clear about the general speed-up of German warships, and the German Navy has done a good job of keeping secrets this time. They will carry out all relevant data. Except for a few people, most people, including designers, don’t know. They never thought that their warship would have such a powerful power system and could run so fast...
In fact, in the first battle, the actual output power of battleships was generally higher than the rated power. In theory, the speed of 25 knots, in fact, it is quite common to run 27 knots. For example, in the historical Lützoff, the battle line The cruiser's speed was generally about 2 knots higher than expected. This is 2 knots in the high-speed section and requires great power support.
Of course, you have to ask if the actual speed is lower than the theoretical speed, of course. For example, in the history of Queen Elizabeth-class battleships, their speed should theoretically reach 25 knots, but in fact, none of the battleships reached the standard. The poor ship design and overweight hull made this all in vain. The Elizabeth-class fast battleships are overweight, so they can only run at speeds close to 24 knots at 7.1 to 76,000 horsepower. With a lap larger than the Queen, the Nagato can run at a speed of 26.7 knots with 95,000 horsepower, which is nearly 3 knots faster...
"Actually, you won, Honorable His Royal Highness Ruprecht. In fact, you won from the beginning. I knew the result before the meeting. The two generals and I will be under your leadership. Building the German Imperial Navy, I hope that your performance will not let the German Empire, let the Emperor, let us down. From then on, you will never encounter human resistance from the Admiralty again." For a long time, Tirpitz gave in and said The above remarks came out. Don't say it, it really makes someone a little confused.
"I really didn't expect the final result to be like this. I originally planned to spend three days to convince Tirpitz and let him accept my suggestion, and then spend another two days to convince the Kaiser, hoping that he can delegate. More rights. But it turned out to be very surprising to me. The three-day period was shortened to 2 hours. Tirpitz, who had always given me a stubborn impression, gave up. He gave up his risk fleet and gave up him. Perseverance, but choose to believe in me."
"I can hardly tell how I felt at the time. I saw loneliness and decadence in his eyes, but at the same time there was a sense of relief and hope. My feelings at the time were very complicated." His Royal Highness wrote in his diary. There is no doubt that Tirpitz loves the Imperial Navy. Otherwise, he would not send all his sons to the navy, and he is in the light cruiser fleet, which is extremely risky. Compared with the usual battleships and offices with almost no risk, the light cruiser formation is obviously a high-risk position.
In fact, shortly after the war began. In the Battle of Helgoland Bay in 1914, Tirpitz’s son, Captain Woolf Tirpitz, served on the light cruiser Mainz. When Gudinaf’s British fleet spoke of this When the battleship was almost destroyed, the young officer transferred the remaining personnel on the battleship to the rescue boat. When the British tried to persuade him to leave, the son of the Secretary of the Navy politely refused, and eventually returned in a devastated state. Kong’s battleship sunk with the ship.
Although the practice of Woolf Tirpitz is questionable, the loyalty and love to the Imperial Navy of Tirpitz and his sons are unquestionable. They took it as a cause and devoted all their efforts, let alone What is the strategy of the Secretary of the Navy, at least not in terms of attitude.
For this kind of personality, His Highness still respects, but for Tirpitz's ability to make money and agitate, His Highness can only use the word admiration to describe. If Tirpitz is willing to surrender all rights and cooperate with him, His Royal Highness will still cooperate with this minister.
After Tirpitz made his statement, General von Boll and General Liao also expressed their support. Although there is no definite official position, due to the particularity of the German government, the final decision will always be Germany. For the emperor, as long as he can get the trust of the Kaiser, just like Tirpitz in history, although he is only one of the Big Three, his actual rights are obviously higher than the other two because of the trust of the Kaiser. people. Only this plane was replaced by Ruprecht.
Invisible, a new era has begun. An era dominated by His Royal Highness Ruprecht of Bavaria has begun~www.wuxiaspot.com~ After more than ten years of hard work, this traverser finally uses his abilities and His wrist has been affirmed by the Kaiser, and various internal obstacles have been cleared. An era that belongs to him has just begun!
"In an office of the German Admiralty, the Old High Seas Fleet headed by the Secretary of State for the Navy Tirpitz has gone down the stage of history. Although they are still very active in the political arena and the Admiralty building, they have the right to decide and plan. The right to formulate has been gradually transferred to Ruprecht, a behind-the-scenes operator. This man, known as the top royal member of the European contemporaries, started his plan and created the British Empire in World War 1. A great blow, this man from a remote area of Germany used a war to defeat an empire and severely inflict another empire, and a brand new global empire was born!” Churchill wrote in his memoirs after the war. Tao.
Of course, these are all funerals. Although the situation has taken a turn for the worse, the prince is also prepared. Since Tirpitz has surrendered today and even completed the secret transfer of power, the prince can proceed to the next question. It is the construction work and future strategies and tactics of the German Navy's light warships. The prince needs to transform the German light cruiser formation into a fast and deadly sea light cavalry, integrating reconnaissance, confronting the opposing light cruiser, breaking ocean blockades, breaking diplomatic relations and a series of tasks as one! To some extent, the future light cruiser formation may perform more missions than large battleships!
