Chapter 907: Would you like to bring some people?

Therefore, in the absence of the U.S. tending to the Entente, everyone chooses a more secure way to make money. Naturally, there are not many neutral merchant ships willing to serve the British. The United States, as a friendly country to Germany on this plane, immediately after the British government announced a blockade of the North Sea, the U.S. government immediately restricted fuel exports to the United Kingdom on the grounds that Britain undermined freedom of navigation, and imposed additional tariffs on items purchased by the United Kingdom. , In short, the American attitude is, if you have the ability, you should not buy it.

"This..." Fisher's words are indeed lethal. As a qualified Royal Navy commander, Jericho sees the fleet more tightly than his own wallet! The entire fleet of eating and drinking Lazara is quite clear. Right now, the fuel supply for the entire Shetland Islands base does not exceed 20 days! Even the fuel supply of the German High Seas Fleet is stronger than that of the Royal Navy!

The reason is simple. No matter how bad the German plane is, there are also oil fields from Romania and Mesopotamia. The annual oil production of these two oil fields together is nearly 10 million tons! What is this concept? In the history of World War II, Borneo's oil field produced 8 million tons, and the total production capacity of the Soviet Union was 20 million tons. The 10 million tons of fuel in this war can almost guarantee that the German navy, land and air forces can't use it. If it is not impossible to go out, export is possible....

"Dear admirals, lieutenants, and major generals of the Royal Navy. You said for a long time and didn't say anything! Three Queen Elizabeth-class battleships and three Vengeance-class battleships are currently available to us. As for the new battleships, , Maybe it will have a great effect in the future, but now? Far can’t quench the near thirst!” Maybe it was targeted by Betty today and “maybe” targeted by Jericho. Fisher was in a bad mood, but basically The heads of the Royal Navy were still thinking about what battleships should be produced in the future and how they should be designed. Fisher jumped out of this gibberish and began to consider the problem from another angle!

"Now, it doesn’t make any sense to talk about the design and production of any warship, so if you generals have time, I think you can summarize your designs and ideas, and then give them to the designers someday to make them slow. Slow improvement. There are only two things we can do now. The first point is to increase the defense of the ammunition depot. The external armor may not work, but we can still enhance the dome and fire protection. This problem is left to specialized technicians, and in addition One thing is to seek help from allies!" Fisher said.

"Allies? The French were nailed to the Mediterranean, the Russians were blocked in the Baltic Sea and the Black Sea by the Germans. They were too busy to take care of themselves. How could they have the time to help us? What's more, what we lack is fast battleships, whether it is France or Russia, Isn't there a fast battleship in service now?" Betty sneered at Fisher's statement.

"We still have an ally. Although he is not in Europe, he has an objective naval power, even stronger than the French and Russian navies combined. At this time, shouldn't we consider the power of our ally?" Fisher He ignored someone's cynicism and spoke to Churchill.

"Is it the navy? If it is the size of the fleet, it is really strong. The only question now is whether they will send back warships and whether their warships are worthy of use." Churchill frowned and touched his chin. Said.

The combat effectiveness of the Japanese Navy is indeed very strong now. Let alone the pile of former dreadnoughts, there are now 10 dreadnought and super-dreadnought warships in service! And 2 more are under construction! That's right, you read that right, the size of the Japanese navy is now second only to Britain, Germany and the United States, ranking third in the world!

Japan’s current development speed is actually related to the prince. Japan has now owned the Philippines for 15 years. With the raw material origin and market, Japan’s development speed has exceeded the same period in history. The Japanese Navy now has two dreadnought ships, namely the Hanoi-class battleship equipped with 10 12-inch guns, 4 Kongo-class battleships, and 2 super-dreadnought fast battleships Kurama and Ibuki equipped with 8 14-inch guns. . In addition to these 10 battleships, the most eye-catching is the Fuso-class battleship that just entered service a few months ago!

"Let's not talk about the political issues. From the perspective of naval power alone, if the Japanese Navy is willing to help us, then both the Mediterranean and Indian Ocean issues can be resolved! Even their arrival can play a very important role in the North Sea! "Fisher said.

"From the perspective of fast battleships alone, the fighting power of the 4 King Kong-class battleships is about the same as our Lions and Tigers. It will certainly solve the problem of insufficient numbers of our fast fleet. However, with this naval battle Lessons learned, I am worried that the Japanese government does not agree to send King Kong-class battleships to the North Sea, and is not even willing to use these warships to fight the German fleet." Major General Hood shook his head and said.

This is right, the Lion Tiger’s side armor is 9 inches, and King Kong’s side armor is 8 inches... This defense power is not as good as the lion and tiger. The output of 8 14-inch guns is a little bit right, but the firecrackers come up~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Who can bear this! If the Japanese navy loses three battlecruisers at once, it is estimated that the commander can go to a caesarean section!

"No, no, no, it is naturally impossible to rely solely on King Kong. They cannot take on the task of dealing with the German main fleet. I mean the latest Fuso-class battleship, which is almost the most powerful battleship in the entire Allied powers. Even compared with the German Bavaria, it is not necessarily worse!" Fisher said.

"If the Fuso-class battleship is currently the largest tonnage battleship, then I believe it, but if it is the most advanced performance, I am still skeptical." Major General Hood's words revealed some incredible tone, and there was even a hint of it. ridicule?

"Actually, our battleship is inferior to the Germans in terms of design, and the Japanese fleet has purchased German capital ships, and their subsequent battleship designs are almost always carried out in accordance with the German concept, although some are unwilling to admit it, But I have to say that in terms of design, the Japanese are indeed stronger than us.” Fisher said that he felt a bit spiritually poisonous. The design aspect is a problem. Another problem is that the money is not well spent. !
