Chapter 1129 The Prelude of the Aircraft Carrier 3

As for bombers? If you bring a 250KG bomb and throw it in a shallow ambush, if it can hit the flower, it is okay to set off a big fire, but if you want to penetrate the core cabin? It’s better to take a shower and go to bed. The angle is not enough, the speed is not enough, and the weight is not enough, why should you penetrate it? ! If you really dare to dive at a large angle, the plane will probably disintegrate before hitting the target. There is no way, the strength is not enough! You can't expect something with a combat weight of just over a ton to be so strong. This is unscientific! And if you can't dive at a large angle, attack accuracy will also be a problem!

And these are just technical difficulties. Another issue that cannot be ignored is the training and skills of personnel. The so-called human quality is something that is elusive and difficult to achieve quickly! For example, throwing torpedoes. In fact, torpedoes are not as stupid, big, black and thick as they look. They can be made very efficiently! There are requirements for the projection of aviation torpedoes. For example, the speed cannot be too fast and the height cannot be too low. Otherwise, the torpedo may fail due to impact when it is in water.

As for dive bombing, NB's dive bomber crew can achieve a hit rate of more than 80% for sea bombing in a certain battle. As for rookies, they may have missed a few shots in hundreds of sorties. This is a situation with very scary upper and lower limits. Therefore, it is possible for the prince to build one or two attack aircraft units with reasonably good technical skills based on the personnel he has trained before. However, if you want to mass-produce them like in World War 2, ? That is impossible! Bavaria is just a kingdom after all!

One of the very important reasons why the prince has been able to reach this point in the technology tree of aircraft carriers is foresight and preparation. When it comes to torpedo bombing, bomber and pilot training, as well as takeoff and landing on aircraft carriers, the prince started doing it before the war. How many years has it been? ! And it is precisely because of these hard or soft conditions that the British cannot copy them. The British have many aircraft, but they do not have a prepared aircraft carrier. It also takes time to change the ship, and more importantly, the battle method. And the exploration of training, this is more difficult to solve than the technical problem. It is estimated that by the time the British solve it, the First World War will be over long ago. Do you really think that hanging torpedoes and bombs will form a combat effectiveness? too young too simple! Don't talk about anything else, how do you solve the problem of navigation? How to guide the aircraft to fly beyond visual distance to attack the target and then come back. I often can’t find the target in battle 2, let alone battle 1….

Therefore, the prince's positioning of the aircraft carrier is an important auxiliary force. In the early stage, it is to curb the British reconnaissance operations and enhance its own reconnaissance capabilities, while in the later stage, it is to provide limited attack power. For example, attack a certain warship that has been severely damaged, or interfere with the formation of the British fleet. Another problem is anti-submarine. It keeps hovering on the sea surface, preventing submarines from showing their heads.

"Are these really important?" the Kaiser frowned and said, still hesitant.

"You can ask the generals of the fleet about this. They now hate the buzzing planes above their heads more than the British submarines, only ranking behind the large fleet." The prince said.

"All right,

I agree to add two more ships, but it is impossible for us to rebuild the hull. You can select suitable ships from cruise ships or other ships in the port and then modify them. I can also provide aircraft and pilots. For now, I will provide a wing. Yes, but the training task is left to you. As for the funds, I can allocate some money first, but you have to show a good enough record recently. After all, now that the North Sea blockade has been re-closed, the empire's resources are very tight, and the army has repeatedly requested to reduce naval expenses. "The Kaiser thought for a moment and said.

"No problem. The winter truce lasts for several months. There won't be much activity on the Eastern Front. The Bavarian Army has to prepare for the next year's war. I just have time to deal with the North Sea issue." The prince said.

As for supplies being tight? This is for sure, but the current situation of the empire is much stronger than in history. It could last for 4 years at that time, let alone now. The prince didn't care much about the Kaiser's statement at first. In fact, by now, the Kaiser's goal that the prince met this time had been achieved. The Navy had obtained funding for the construction of an aircraft carrier, and at the same time promised the Kaiser a retaliatory strike against the Royal Navy.

"Okay, then I'll leave the naval affairs to you. As long as we don't ask for additional funds, you can handle the general affairs. As for the fleet going out? Just tell me before going out. I believe you can handle it very quickly. Well done," the Kaiser said.

"What about the size of the Naval Aviation Department?" the prince thought for a while and said.

"How about the Imperial Air Force providing 3 wings, and the Bavarian Air Force providing 1 wing? Start as a land-based aviation department. After the so-called aircraft carrier is completed, we will organize it into a carrier-based air wing. As for the future expansion of the scale, Shall we discuss it then?" the Kaiser said.

"Then let's do this for now." The prince calculated in his mind that the four wings had nearly 400 aircraft. Excluding the one wing that was preparing to board the aircraft carrier, there were still more than 300 aircraft. These aircraft were more than enough to defend Wilhelmshaven in the North Sea. As for the port of Kiel? Well, Maozi Aviation's ability to attack ships in the first battle is almost negligible, and seaplanes are enough to deal with it. What's more, the Russian air force had just been massacred by the Bavarian Air Force. Nothing big will happen anytime soon.

"Can the North Sea Channel be opened again?" William II asked at the end of the meeting.

"You can give it a try, but I'm afraid it may not work once." The prince said carefully. This is not something that is said casually. The key to breaking the North Sea blockade is not the large fleet, because you will definitely not be able to defeat the large fleet, so don't consider this issue. The problem still lies with the British fast fleet deployed in the Firth of Forth. If World War I can force the five British fast battleships out of combat, whether they are sunk or damaged. Then the blockade in the North Sea will be automatically lifted, and the large fleet will take over the severely damaged fast fleet to defend the British offshore waters.

"Then let's fight twice." The Kaiser said without hesitation.

"Haha, that's easy to say." The prince said helplessly.

"Your Highness, what should we do next?" Tirpitz asked on the way back.

"Let's go to the Brohm-Voss shipyard first. I want to see how my baby is doing. If it's convenient for the fleet, prepare it yourself. I already have a plan, but we have to wait until Moltke's repairs are completed. Take action again," the prince said.
