Chapter 911: Can't learn at home

In the eyes of the British, Japan almost designed the battleship according to the idea of ​​the German warship, and then imported steam turbines, artillery and fire control from Britain to build the Fuso-class battleship, but in fact, in Prince Ruprecht, Or other people familiar with the German warships, the Japanese did get something from Argentina, but at most they learned a little bit. Some core and key things are still not learned....

Really think that Germans don't know how to keep their secrets? Although the Argentines brought real money, right, but the Germans would not sell all the secrets and design concepts of their warships, right? This is a World War I. The battleship is the country’s heaviest weapon, the decisive force on the sea, so it’s so easy to tell the truth? Really think the Germans are stupid?

For example, the side armor. In fact, when the Scharnhorst-class battleship was built, the German warship had adopted a structure of thin steel outer layer plus hardened inner armor plate with a large thickness. The outer steel plate was used for stripping. The quilt of the armor-piercing projectile uses the hardened inner armor plate to smash the projectile body. The Germans did not show this in the drawings to Argentina, and the Japanese naturally did not know.

How big can this gap be? Let’s put it this way, the 18-degree inclined armor plate can almost be used in the first battle in history, and the 60mm plus sideboard defense can already face most of the situation in the second battle in history, the gap is so big... ..

Regarding mine defense, Japan has indeed learned the multi-layer defense, but it has not learned the whole set. For example, on the Bavarian-class battleship, in fact, foamed cement is added to the outermost empty warehouse to prevent water ingress. At the same time, the bottom of the warship’s ammunition warehouse not only uses a three-layer bottom. There is even a layer of armor with a thickness of 40mm. Although there was no magnetic fuse torpedo designed to hit the bottom of the ship in World War I, it is always necessary to mention waterproof mine... There is no way to say where the mine is touching, and there is no rule that the mine can only blow the side... At the same time, some watertight compartments of German warships also adopted the principle of communicating devices. When water enters on one side, part of the water will flow along the pipe at the bottom of the ship to the other side to balance the attitude of the warship. None of these appear on the design drawings.

In terms of horizontal defense, in fact, on the main horizontal armor, there is also a thicker shipbuilding steel plate. This part is used to peel off the quilt of the armor-piercing projectile fired in the horizontal direction. This does not appear on the design drawings. Therefore, It is difficult to say that the Japanese 3-inch horizontal armor can be used in a war, because the three-inch armored division includes the thickness of the back plate, and the back plate is not a homogeneous steel armor for normal horizontal defense!

As for weapons, it seems that the 10 15-inch guns of the Fuso-class battleship have 25% more tubes than the 8 15-inch guns of Bavaria. However, even if the projection amount is simply calculated, the Fuso-class has no advantage. The Japanese are almost the same. With the British artillery and turret, it takes about 40 seconds to complete a firing cycle, while the fastest in Bavaria is once every 23 seconds. Even at normal speeds, the slowest is 30 seconds! The rapid opening and closing of the German breech block and the perfect mechanized loading system have brought too obvious advantages in the rate of fire, which is why the prince finally accepted the design of 8 15-inch guns in history. Because it's enough!

In terms of the amount of projection, once it enters the effective shooting, the German warship will not suffer. If the quality of the projection is to be discussed, then the German fleet has a greater advantage. Let alone the Germans use a 9-meter asana rangefinder, which has With better ranging effect, the new fire control computer can better describe the navigation of both sides. Simply speaking of armor-piercing bullets... Whether it is in history or on this plane, the world's first armor-piercing projectile technology of the Allies is no problem, right? Before the British green popped up, who would fight for it? !

What's more, on this plane, the Germans used hard caps, heavy bombs, and had a more slender projectile. The long-distance storage speed and penetration were even more against the sky than the historical German armor-piercing projectiles, that is, bad luck. Otherwise, there is hope for hitting the queen hard. With such a powerful weapon, the prince thought that it was unscientific that the British only sank 6 ships in the Thunder-Surbrus battle. It is estimated that God was on the side of the British at that time...

What about the Japanese? The prince doesn't know what armor-piercing bullet to use, but if there is no green bullet now, then don't expect too much penetration. Therefore, in summary, the Fuso-class battleship is far superior to the historical ship of the same name, and it is much better than the British queen, but compared with Germany's top Bavarian-class fast battleship, it is still a bit worse.

Of course, Jericho and others don’t understand these things, nor will professionals like Incote. After all, the drawings that the Japanese get are only incomplete versions, and the intelligence is not collected well, so what are you talking about objective and fairness? Correctness? In the eyes of the British, the Fuso-class battleships of the Japanese fleet can not only make up for the shortage of the fast battle fleet, but also restrain the existence of the Bavarian-class battleships. Therefore, Fisher and Churchill now hope that the Japanese navy can play a role in this war. More important and more proactive role!

It is a good idea to let the Japanese joint fleet share the pressure. With the Japanese fleet there, let alone kill Su Xiong, who was dangling in the Indian Ocean? It is possible to contain them. After entering the Mediterranean, it is also possible to drive the Allied Mediterranean fleet to the Darnier Strait~www.wuxiaspot.com~ or even come to the North Sea to suppress the German fleet together to achieve a certain effect. Of course, this is just the idea now. If you want to realize this plan, there are still many problems to be done. For example, how to convince the Japanese navy to participate in the war is a big problem.

Of course, Churchill is not convinced by this question. After all, Churchill does not care about diplomacy. The issue that Churchill needs to consider now is how to persuade Prime Minister Herbert Henry Asquith to persuade Prime Minister Herbert Henry Asquith during his meeting with the Prime Minister tonight. Reach an agreement with the Japanese as soon as possible to relieve pressure on the Royal Navy.

"Sir Fisher, Admiral Jericho, tonight we will go to discuss with the Prime Minister about our allies. This time it is not about the Navy. I hope everyone can cooperate." At the end of the meeting, Churchill told the two Said that everyone is working in the navy. See you when you look up. If you have any contradictions, you can discuss it, but when you face the prime minister, don't make a moth!

"Okay, I will cooperate fully." Jericho nodded and said. And Fisher on the side also nodded silently. Maybe there will be a scapegoat among the three of them, but at least for now, they have to work together!
