Chapter 915: Twelve. For the motherland (20)

() "Received an alert to find the enemy fleet, our ship immediately dispatched to meet, the weather is fine today, the wave height."

The dictator raised an eyebrow and noticed that the captain of the Guards who had a different situation suspended the report and secretly wondered if he had made a mistake or the expression was not clear enough. After rewinding and rewinding several times, he never found any deviations in it. Some of the troublesome captains of the Guards had to stop in place and wait for the dictator’s instructions.

For Li Lin, this report of enemy sentiment forwarded from the Jabulo base in the Southern Ocean brought about an "accident" with double meanings-it seemed to be similar but not the time.

It seems to have been similar. It was a famous telegram from the content to the wording of the bulletin that was very similar to the May 25, 1905 AD at 05:05 in the morning, the commander of the United Fleet, Higashi Higashino, from Zhenhai Bay to the base camp. If someone from the old Japanese Imperial Navy or the Maritime Self-Defense Force imitated the former chief of staff of the United Fleet to send such a telegram, it is not a surprise. After all, there is no Akiyama talent in IJN, but there are people with Akiyama-style cultural youth Grab a lot, imitating history has always been their favorite thing. From the special attacks of Pearl Harbor, Midway Island, Mariana, and Kikusui in Okinawa, the "Imperial Kingdom is abolished here" in the telegraph and the flagship raised the Z flag. Are essential links. The defense navy...how could it be?

It is not the right time to say that it is because of current and long-term strategic considerations, a decisive battle against the Mahai-style fleet will not only be unnecessary for Yalfheim, but will also cause some troublesome aftereffects.

To thoroughly understand this issue, we must first talk about the marine and naval strategies of Yalfheim.

When it comes to maritime strategy, the first thing that must come to mind is the work of Colonel Alfred Thayer Mahan's "Theory of Sea Power." According to this classic naval strategic thinking, the value of the navy is to control the sea and seize and protect the sea power. A strong naval force helps the countries it belongs to effectively control the ocean and fully enjoy the benefits it brings under the premise of effective control. In this doctrine, the seizure of sea power is the fundamental purpose of naval strategy—in fact, this is just an ideal principle that is expensive to implement.

The Navy is very different from the Army and the Air Force. It is the most expensive military service with the slowest results and the longest construction period among the three armies. This is especially true if the supporting equipment, auxiliary facilities and personnel training are included. "The Centennial Navy" has never been an empty word. Policy continuity and robustness are of utmost importance, and maintaining the foundation of these two elements is the urgency of strategic needs.

For Yalfheim, which is far from being fully realized and internationally recognized, resources from the Southern Ocean colonies and overseas strongholds are indispensable, but they are by no means strategic priorities. It is even more impossible to abandon the local land battlefield that decides life and death and embezzle valuable strategic resources to build a large fleet with a long cycle and limited role. Not to mention that the action to strengthen the navy may stimulate a realist island ally that may change positions at any time.

Taking into account its own conditions and objective environment, Yalfheim’s naval strategy was positioned from the outset as "to protect its own commercial routes, and at the same time to cut off the enemy's ties with overseas colonies as much as possible, and destroy the enemy's control of sea control." This strategy does not require the complete seizure of sea-control power. Its main objective is to protect the country’s commercial shipping routes, and under the premise of doing what it can to destroy the opponent’s use of sea-control powers. The enemy’s port completely cuts off the enemy’s shipping system and foreign trade-in order to achieve strategic goals.

Does it sound familiar? That’s right, this is basically in line with the German naval strategy of the Weimar Republic and the German Third Reich. The difference is that the Germans have no power to engage in cruise wars and unrestricted submarine wars. Yalfheim is persistent. Due to the strategic timetable and geopolitics, I abandon building the current fleet (Li Lin: We are pure European advisors with a pedigree certificate! Believe it or not, a dozen northern house ladies and Persian cats came out!); Niederhog: Your Excellency , Steel and aluminum bullets are not enough! Let’s go back to Africa! Σ(っ°Д°;)っ). Based on different factors, both have chosen a naval strategy with an emergency nature. Once the state of the country becomes normal, they will return to the conventional naval strategy. This is true of the Z plan of the German Navy, as is the future expansion plan lying in the safe of the Defense Forces Naval Command.

In any case, now is not the time when the defense navy's performance is too eye-catching. Guadakana's miserable play can be explained by the naughtiness of King Charlemagne's own navy and the discord between the army and the opponent. It is another matter to be destroyed by the regiment in the upright battle line. It is foreseeable that Albian, who is already not very peaceful, will be stimulated. For this island country, sea power is directly related to its life and death. Whether it is an ally or an enemy, a powerful fleet that overrides its royal navy is its absolute Intolerable. Next, Albion is bound to take further action, and the timetable here needs to be adjusted accordingly...

Part of the thinking continued to discuss, propose, and review, the cold red pupil turned to Niederhogg again, and the sullen report began again.

In the early morning of the 18th month of the Chinese calendar 1237, the sharp flying shears of the defense navy armored cruiser "Nuremberg" split the clear southern ocean, and white foam and waves splashed around the ship with a full displacement of 19,500 tons. A white pearl necklace, a huge body, lined artillery, and a thick and heavy hull made everyone who witnessed the battleship feel the heavy pressure from the bottom of their hearts. It was followed by the supply ship "Altemark". Compared with the majestic battleship, the supply ship was obviously not enough to look like the maid behind the lady.

In the tropical waters, the hot sun scorched two warships. The sailors lined up on the deck with buckets, brushes, and mops in preparation for the routine deck cleaning work. Captain Hans Langsdorf, captain of the "Nuremberg" With a cigar leaning against the veranda on the back side of the bridge, Admiral William Marshall, commander-in-chief of the fleet, stood on the side with an iced cocktail, looking at the battleship under his feet and several submarines that were not far away.

Colonel Ronsdorf took office six months ago. As the first captain, he and his sailors were new, just like this battleship at the foot-because the dictator’s strategy and the parliament’s military budget must be compared to the baht. The army and air force of the outside took the hind legs. It was not until two months ago that the first large surface combat ship of the defense navy hurried into the battle sequence.

Leaving aside political and strategic issues, the main reason for the defensive navy surface ship construction backwardness is mainly due to the restraint of the army and air force. The Army’s reason is that the local decisive battle is the life and death, and there is no spare money to toss the navy to make unappealing "toys." The Air Force said that the strategic bombing and battlefield support work is very heavy. If the Navy can share part of it, the Air Force is willing to spit out some resources to the brothers who are also loyal to the motherland. But... I think there are many more steel and aluminum oil bombs for you. It is better to build a Devlinger-class air battleship for us. The Air Force will do the work for the Air Force. What do you think?

It is a pity that if the navy still had a submarine and camouflage assault ship to make a solid record, the navy would have been wiped out by the army red deer and the air force thieves. Finally, the dictator has not forgotten the navy of King Qin, who was loyal to Qisheng, and finally said, "The navy still needs surface warships." This passed the budget of "Warship A" under the name of "Experimental Warship", which is now "Nuremberg." number.

The standard displacement of the "Nuremberg" is 14,240 tons, the full displacement is 19,500 tons, the maximum speed is 34 knots, it is equipped with four 3 sets of 12 total guns of 47 times diameter 155㎜, 6 double sets of 12 total 128㎜ Gaoping two Auxiliary guns, 6 double-mounted total of 12 40㎜ anti-aircraft guns, 4 730 rapid-fire near-anti-aircraft guns, 4 3 combined 533㎜ torpedo launchers, an organic storehouse at the hull of the ship, and 4 MDS , 4 aviation MDS, and equipped with 4 MDS ejection tracks. The side armor is 82㎜, the bridge command tower armor is 150㎜, and some areas are as thick as 220㎜.

This warship may not be as good-looking as the heavy cruisers filled with tubes in World War II, especially compared with the top and Brooklyn freaks with the name of the light cruiser, it is simply unsightly. Some people's "waste tonnage model" and "Tonghai valve technology is the world's first" case is quite appropriate. But as I said earlier, the naval strategy of the Defense Force is to break the engagement. This baby pimple is not made to fight the fleet and fight the battle line, but to be an attack ship or a pirate ship. Survivability and high speed are the primary performance indicators, so that they can quickly catch up with the target and get rid of the pursuit. They can also persist until they are out of the danger zone when they are surrounded by enemy naval ships. As for firepower... Let’s not mention whether there is a commercial ship that can withstand 12 semi-automatic 155-gun volleys, even if the first-class sail battleships of various countries are pulled out and there are a few Holds (Lansdorf: I want to fight ten !(#` basin?))? Rather than wasting precious tonnage and budget on already surplus firepower, it is better to use it to strengthen protection and avoid the embarrassment of having to return to the military port for overhaul after a round of artillery shells.~www.readwn.com~Nuremberg The Navy immediately hung up the commander’s flag, and this 10,000-ton light cruise officially became the flagship of the Defense Navy’s high seas fleet. Although it is slightly shabby compared with the air force’s air warships overlooking the world, the wingship is still the ticket. Laozi, anyway, it always ends the history of the navy’s unavailable ships. The large cruiser led many submarines and assault ships in the southern ocean of the blue waves. The night of the wolves and the sea is also a gallop. Ocean, majestic.

Just as Captain Rangsdorf was immersed in the pleasure of a successful career, a sailor quickly walked through the explosion-proof door, trotting all the way into the bridge, hurried to salute and handed a binder to the communications staff. The communications chief Major Dominic scanned the paper on the binder and turned and ran towards the veranda...

"'Nuremberg' advances three!"

The command of Rangsdorf was spread throughout the ship through the broadcast system. The car bell blew three times in a row. The roar of the electric engine under the deck and the whistle of the whole ship rang together. The crew were in the cabin with a nervous and excited expression Running, the warship underneath began to accelerate, and the "Altemark" on the port side was turning, gradually falling behind the "Nuremberg".

The war belonging to the "Nuremberg" is about to begin.
