Chapter 1133 This is not over yet 1
When it comes to Prince Heinrich's status in the German Navy, it is quite special. In terms of power, he can only command those pre-dreadnoughts in the Baltic Sea, and he cannot even be a commander of the super-dreadnought squadron. But when it comes to influence, it's hard to say. First of all, he is a navy marshal. Yes, regardless of whether it is for face or pure glory, he is a navy marshal! Like a certain Secretary of State for the Navy! At the same time, he was the younger brother of the Kaiser. You can contact the Kaiser directly.
Therefore, in the prince's view, Prince Heinrich's influence would be very limited if he simply designated a battle plan. The prince didn't even have to tell him to finalize it. But if the navy is to be schematic, this person's words and deeds are very important! In history, various storms were sometimes called Category 12 typhoons. Such a person who knew something about the navy, had a naval position, and was closely related to the Kaiser would have a certain influence on the designation of the navy's major policies. Stronger.
If that was just the case, the prince could still endure it. After all, the performance of this exercise was not very good, and the other party had helped the prince before, so he had to give him some face-saving things. But when Prince Heinrich proposed not to use high-speed ships to convert aircraft carriers into aircraft carriers, but also to reduce carrier-based aircraft, the prince couldn't bear it! This is not out of impulse, but because, on key issues, on issues related to the direction of the war, the prince absolutely cannot back down.
And the prince can also feel that there is still some resistance within the German Navy to his decision. For example, why did he choose such a small thing for today's target ship No. 2... Well, although the prince didn't say that everyone should choose a bigger target, if the bombers that were clearly aiming for the battleship were now aiming at a guy only the size of a destroyer, the accuracy difference would almost be inevitable. The prince was not sure that there was someone inside who was deliberately causing trouble for him, but he said there was no suspicion? That is impossible.
Therefore, the prince decisively believed that he had been tricked... However, with the character of the prince, if he is plotted against someone, he will not plot back this time. It is not over. Moreover, if this wave of counterattacks is carried out well, there may be unexpected gains. For example, the personnel power of the Navy! Yes, although the prince has the command of the navy, he has never interfered in personnel matters. On the one hand, it is because intervening in this will cause the Kaiser to be suspicious, and on the other hand, because the prince is quite satisfied with the current high-level personnel of the fleet. , the main fleet has Scheer, the fast fleet has Hipper, they are capable and responsible. The others are at least up to par, so what’s not to like about that?
But now, the prince could feel that some people were still a little resistant to their incomprehensible actions. You don’t need many people like this, just a few are enough trouble. For example, like this time. For such people, the prince's tolerance limit is very low!
Of course, it was impossible for the prince to immediately write a report to the Kaiser requesting the replacement of certain individuals. After all, the prince now knows very little about the middle level of the fleet. Moreover, the hasty and unreasonable change made this report impossible to be approved by the Kaiser. So I’d better put this idea aside and go to sleep.
Regarding the accident that occurred during this exercise,
The prince admitted that he was not fully prepared and took the main responsibility himself. For the time being, the prince had no intention of pursuing those who were suspected of resistance. But the prince absolutely cannot accept this result, at least he cannot let Prince Heinrich tell the Kaiser like this! So, the prince decided to give it a try!
Moreover, the prince really wants to seize the personnel power this time. After all, it seems that he will command the High Seas Fleet for at least 2 to 3 years. Without a team of his own, relying only on airborne landings and high-level support, the prince wants to do something Things are not always easy. Do you really think that with the support of Scheer and Hipper, you can flex your muscles and do whatever you want? What are you thinking about?
And this time, although it is a bad thing, if it is done properly, it can also turn into a good thing. After all, if the naval aviation really becomes bigger, more people will definitely be arranged to come in. The premise of building a team is to bring people in first. ! With people, you can gradually change the original High Seas Fleet system through personnel transfers and strengthen your control over the High Seas Fleet!
"If you must get the personnel power of the Navy, let's start with the Aviation Department!" The prince said in his heart, and then made a decision!
"This is a hasty preparation," the prince said. "I admit, I cut some corners this time. I should have shown everyone the power of a complete attack aircraft formation under the guidance of correct tactics. At least we should not use bombers targeting capital ships to deal with a destroyer-only fleet. Targets big and small." The prince's deep voice echoed in the hall.
"However, what we attacked this time were target ships. Two target ships with a speed of only 8 knots. The torpedo attack effect was pretty good, but the bomber attack effect was really average. We spent half the money of a capital ship to build an aircraft carrier. Then we use a large number of aircraft to arm us, but we cannot get corresponding returns. We need to face this problem squarely." Prince Heinrich said with a complicated expression.
"I said, this was my mistake. How about giving me a chance to correct it? You can choose the target for the next attack. It can be any battleship of the High Seas Fleet. Then I and my aircraft will be responsible for taking it out! How about it? Can you?" The prince looked at Prince Heinrich and said.
Of course, the so-called elimination means that it is naturally impossible to use real torpedoes and bombs to attack. The attacked warship can choose an active warship. However, the torpedoes dropped did not have fuses and explosives, and the bombs used dozens of kilograms of simulated bombs without charges.
"Isn't that necessary?" The admiral on the side felt that the atmosphere was a bit delicate and immediately came out to smooth things over.
"It is very necessary! Everyone here, you are free to comment as you please. Your Highness, Prince Tirpitz, you can say whatever you want to the Kaiser. I don't care. But I will write a letter to the Kaiser personally today, stating My attitude is my attitude, and I invite the Kaiser to personally observe the next exercise! This time we use a back-to-back method. All of you can serve as my imaginary enemy and choose a capital ship that you think has sufficient performance to be the target ship. I only rely on my air force to sink it on the high seas!"
For this reason, everyone here was surprised! This fucking guy is going to do something amazing! A strange thought rang in people's minds.
