The Rise of the Empire

　　 It is not difficult to predict the victory of a war, but it is a level to predict how a war will be won. For example, in the Gulf War that year, everyone believed that the United States-led alliance could win. But how to win? At least at the time, I thought that the two sides would fight for 300 rounds, throw a pile of corpses, and come to a few Middle Eastern versions of Kursk! As a result, it really fought. After dozens of days of air strikes, it was resolved within a few weeks. The casualties of the US military have just passed triple digits... Iraq? It seems that there is no accurate figure yet!

　　 Now the highlight is finally here! The previous content is nonsense relative to this question! The Americans can also see who can win, and Simpson and others will not think that the Beiyang has an armored cruiser Mainz that can stand against the sky! The Japanese got 3 ships from the British!

"Sooner or later, the two fleets will have a battle. Although Japan has a clear advantage, they will still pay a heavy price! After this battle is over, the Beiyang Fleet will lose the ability to engage in large fleets, and the few warships will turn. Enter the battle! The fast battleships of the two sides are very likely to pursue and fight in the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea and even the coastal waters of Japan!" Ruprecht said.

"Well, I have doubts about the efficiency of the post-dealing operations. Deterrence operations are not simple. They require logistics, reconnaissance, and various assistance, and fighting on the enemy's home court itself is a serious disadvantage. This is for warships and personnel. All have extremely high requirements."

"Believe me, this break-up operation can definitely be recorded in history. I have contacted officers and soldiers of the Beiyang Navy. Their quality is even better than that of the Japanese Navy, and their tragedy lies entirely with their government. At least most people. Will fight to the end!" Ruprecht said.

　　 "As for the tactics in the decisive battle, the fleets of both sides will be composed of two sub-squads, the main fleet composed of slow-moving old warships and the fast fleet composed of high-speed new warships!"

"Because the fast warships of both sides are relatively new warships, they are fast and powerful, and they are difficult to be destroyed in a short period of time. Therefore, based on the principle that one finger is worse than one finger, the fast fleets of both sides will give full play to their speed advantages. , Intercept the opposing team’s warships. At the same time, cooperate with the main fleet to encircle and destroy the weak ships in the main fleet! The odds of both sides depend entirely on who can hit the opponent’s main fleet faster!” Ruprecht rationalized his thoughts and said. This is also the thinking of the Japanese back then.

　　 "Very novel tactics." No way, even three years later, the US fleet still swarmed to death in the San Diego naval battle, not so detailed at all! Winning depends on hardware! Simpson is still very interested in this tactic.

"However, except for the Mainz and the two ironclad ships in the Beiyang, the remaining battleships are very low in combat effectiveness, and will be slaughtered in a very short event! The fighting time will not last long." Simpson The lieutenant thought for a while and said.

"No, the battle will last a long time! The other warships of the Beiyang team are fragile, but the defenses of the two ironclad ships are quite good, and they are difficult to destroy with artillery, while the Beiyang fast fleet led by Mainz will last a long time. With Mainz as a cannonball magnet, two relatively fast cruisers have a chance to save themselves, and after extinguishing their flames, they will rejoin the battlefield." Ruprecht retorted.

　　 "Well, if the two fleets quickly clean up the weaker warships that can be killed, do you think the Japanese fleet will attack the Beiyang fleet or the fast fleet?" Simpson hesitated for a moment and asked.

"If it were me, I would let the fast fleet attack the team and cover the torpedo boats to attack. But the premise is that the Japanese team can bear a certain loss in the next stage! But from my understanding of the Japanese, they may not It will be like this!" This paragraph of Ruprecht is pure speculation, without any historical basis.

　　 But based on the performance of the Japanese fleet's main unit in history, if we fight again this time, the Japanese fleet's main unit will be very miserable! The speed gap between the new ships headed by the Sanjing Ship and Fuso and Hiei is too great. In history, there has been a situation of being divided. Then Beiyang, which has fast cruisers on this plane, will naturally do better! It’s really hard to tell whether the Japanese team will be introduced into the chaotic battle if the surface team is replaced by the Beiyang Fleet with a large number of rapid-fire guns!

If chaos is really introduced, if Ruprecht is a Japanese commander, he will definitely get rid of his calmness first. After all, if he wants to entangle with the opponent’s fast cruiser fleet, it will be fighting and running, and time will be delayed. Very long, of course, the two Zhiyuan are weak chickens, but the second-class cruisers in the Japanese fleet are also weak chickens facing Mainz? Moreover, after the introduction of chaos, Japanese cruisers lose their advantages in formation and mobility, and their advantages will be greatly reduced. At this time, the best course of action is naturally to fix the stability first, then the Japanese fast fleet will contain the Beiyang fast fleet, and the Japanese fleet will be reorganized!

　　 The premise of all this is that when the Japanese fast fleet attacks the town, the team must bear huge losses! Although any warship of the Japanese fleet is vulnerable to the rapid-fire gun attack of the three fast warships. However, the exchange of a certain number of cruisers for the fixed town was destroyed, which is a very cost-effective business for Japan. With the fixed town gone, Beiyang relied on Mainz only.

　　According to the characteristics of the Japanese fleet to find a soft pinch, when there is only a settlement, they are likely to temporarily abandon the siege of the settlement and attack the Zhiyuan-class cruiser in the Beiyang Express Fleet. So now the problem is coming. If the fast fleets of both sides fight each other, the Japanese really don't have much advantage! In terms of tonnage, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com is 12,000 tons to 18,000 tons. Japan's two second-class cruisers have an overwhelming advantage over the Zhiyuan-class cruisers.

　　 But Mainz can fight and carry, Ruprecht estimates that even if Mainz can't be one-to-two, at the same time overwhelming a first-class cruiser and a second-class cruiser, at least a tie will be fine. After a long time, it must be a loss for the Qiongjia ship! The Japanese ship’s firepower projection is NB, but it’s useless to hit the armor belt! Therefore, this battle will last for a long time before it is possible to decide the winner.

　　 And the team played against it? Before the war, the fixed town that was equipped with a rapid-fire gun could be considered to be able to play and carry! The remaining battleships of the Japanese squad that were killed at the beginning and the set-down battle are likely to be able to suppress them, but they cannot be killed. The final result is naturally to evacuate with the advent of night!

"In other words, although the Japanese may make mistakes in tactics, they will still win by relying on a huge number of advantages? In the second phase, the fleet loss rate of both sides will decrease until the final battle is over? Is that true?" Simpson asked Tao.

　　 "It can be understood that in the end, the Japanese can win, the fundamental reason is that their family has a big business, and Beiyang will be left with no more than 5 ships after this battle!" Ruprecht said.

　　 "It seems to make sense." Simpson said, touching his chin.

　　 "Facts will prove that I said everything!" Ruprecht slapped haha ​​at random, and what he didn't expect was that it was the day after he and Simpson said this! The great battle in the Yellow Sea that shocked China and foreign countries broke out!
