My Italian: Chapter 548 Role of Battlecruiser
The Italian Admiralty Building is the central department of the navy, and all the orders of the navy have been issued from it, and Lefer and Gomes are of course very familiar with it.
So after receiving the summoning order from Admiral Yagier, the two rushed over from Taranto non-stop.
"It's been a long time since I came to the Admiralty."
Rear Admiral Gomes, who got out of the car, looked at the majestic Navy Building in front of him and sighed.
"Don't be so sentimental, you're not too rare in the Admiralty."
Lefer, who was on the side, was wearing a lieutenant general's uniform, and replied.
"Look, wearing a lieutenant general's uniform is different."
Although I have seen it many times, Major General Gomes still looks at his friend's lieutenant general uniform very enviously.
Regarding the dynamics of his friends, Lefer is actually very clear, but he was the first to be promoted to lieutenant general, which did have a great influence on his friends.
To be honest, the two of them have had a smooth sailing these years, and they passed the school level to become generals very smoothly, and entered the middle and high levels of the navy. However, in the promotions over the years, Lefer often had to take the lead, basically he was promoted, and then it was his friend's turn. It is unbelievable to say that Gomes has no thoughts in his heart. It is normal for a soldier to be competitive.
Regarding the mentality of his friend, Lefer actually also has some understanding. In terms of talent, the two are actually similar, but who makes the friend's talent manifest in cruiser command. There is nothing wrong with cruisers, but in people's habitual thinking, they always think that commanding battleships is more important, so generally promotions will be given to more important people first.
In order to reverse this image before, Gomes was also transferred to command other warships, but in the exercise, compared with commanding the stunning and unconstrained cruiser, it was obviously much inferior. In the end, Gomes accepted his fate and commanded the cruiser well. That's fine.
"As long as the general will be impressed by this meeting, it will definitely add a star to your shoulder badge."
Regarding the words of his friend, Gomez smiled and did not speak again.
Then the two entered the building with ease, and waited all the way to Admiral Yagier's office.
Yes, just waiting.
There are not too many people who want to see the head of the navy every day, and he needs to deal with the work at hand, so he has even less time to spare.
But even so, the benches outside the office were still full of people waiting. Think about it, a group of soldiers sitting upright in school uniforms, waiting quietly, is simply lifeless.
But even so, the two of them did not dare to stab, they still sat here in order like everyone else, waiting for the general to be summoned. There were one or two acquaintances on the bench, but no one was ready to speak other than to say hello with their eyes.
But they didn't wait long. After an hour of waiting, the two were called by the secretary to the general's office.
"Your Excellency, Admiral."
Facing the two people who came in, Admiral Yagier wiped his face and cheered up. "I've read your previous report on Battle Cruiser. I came here this time just to learn more about it. Now tell me why you think Battle Cruiser will gradually be replaced in the future."
Facing Admiral Yagil's question, Gomes immediately spoke. "This is the admiral. For the new arm of the battlecruiser, its strategic position is mainly to deal with the opponent's breaking war and maintain the safety of the country's sea transportation line. In terms of tactics, the battlecruiser will be used as a formation to break through The enemy's interception line, forcible reconnaissance of the enemy."
Having said that, Gomez's tone changed. "These are the advantages of the battle cruiser, but there are also many disadvantages. First of all, the battle cruiser is very expensive. Compared with the battleship, with the same displacement, the price of the battle cruiser will be 8-12% higher. In addition, the design at that time The Battlecruiser was intended to be a generalist, but in our various tactical playtests, the Battlecruiser fell short in many ways.
For example, it is incorporated into the battle line; our test found that if it is incorporated into the battle line and the enemy ship gun battle, then a very embarrassing problem will come out. Its high-speed design will be wasted because it is added to the battle line. Weak armor means the damage rate will increase dramatically. We have done simulation tests, and its damage rate in artillery battles is three times higher than that of battleships. "
Hearing this, Admiral Yagier's face was not very good. The battle cruiser built by the navy was directly said to be useless under the analysis of the two in front of me.
"Anymore?"
The two of them were not blind, and of course they also saw the general's unattractive expression, but since they all came, they would be unhappy if they didn't finish talking, so they could only bite the bullet and continue.
"In addition, the number of battlecruisers also needs to be restrained. It is best to form a ratio of 3 to 10 with battleships. Because the price of battlecruisers is high, it will cost too much, which is not conducive to the development of the navy."
"Then the battlecruiser has been cancelled, which battleship should be given the task it undertakes?"
At this time, the admiral asked a key question, since the battle cruiser will disappear in the future, which is the replacement unit?
The admiral and the two knew that it was difficult to answer, because although the question was about the future, it sounded like they could say anything, but it was not easy at all to say something reasonable, but luckily they came prepared.
"I think the role of battlecruisers in the future will be replaced by other types of ships. Among them, it will be easier to break through the enemy's interception and conduct reconnaissance from the air. First of all, its speed advantage is something that all kinds of warships cannot possess. Of course, at present , Aircraft also have limitations in use, so if we must build, then we should choose high-speed battleships.
In addition, in terms of breaking the war, I think the current use of the battle cruiser is not worth the loss. Its cost is high and the maintenance cost is high. It is a bit out of date to send it to break the war. The speed and endurance of the warship that breaks the war should be investigated, and the firepower and protection can be adjusted appropriately. After all, it is facing a merchant ship. And the cost can't be too high, otherwise you can't afford to lose. "
It was Lefer, who was silent at first, who said this, and what he said meant the conclusion he reached after discussing with Gomes for a long time.
Yagiel fell into deep thought about what these two said. Fast battleships are easy to understand, that is, battleships with battlecruising speed. Although it is not easy to achieve, everything is possible with the development of technology in the future.
In fact, within the navy, the controversy over the role of battle patrols has not been quelled until now. The most controversial thing is that the battlecruiser is currently the most expensive battleship. Although it can perform many tasks, it is not outstanding enough.
As for its most important anti-sabotage battle, Italy is not very easy to use because of its position, so it is normal to have internal differences.
And how expensive a battle cruiser is, how extravagant it would be to use it as a battleship.
For the two people in front of him, Yajier flashed a glance of appreciation and said. "I have understood the two ideas from your speeches, and I have other things to do next."
Who could not understand such an obvious order to evict guests, so the two went out in an orderly manner. Since the admiral didn't give an answer, how could they accomplish such things as building and canceling battle patrols in a few words.
After the two went out, Yagier pulled out a design drawing of a battleship from his desk. This is a battlecruiser drawing, and its thick caliber is marked as a 380mm main gun.
That's right, this is a battlecruiser designed based on the 380mm main gun that is still under development. Of course, this battlecruiser is still in the draft stage, but it does not prevent the admiral from enjoying it.
But now the admiral glanced at it silently, then opened a drawer in the lower right corner and put it in. Judging from the gray stains on other items in this drawer, it is difficult to use this drawer.
"Brother Shen!"
"Um!"
Shen Changqing was walking on the road, and whenever he met someone he knew well, he would say hello or nod to each other.
But no matter who.
There is no unnecessary expression on everyone's face, as if they are indifferent to everything.
To this.
Shen Changqing is already used to it.
Because this is the Zhenmagic Division, an organization that maintains the stability of Daqin. Its main duty is to kill monsters and ghosts, and of course there are other side jobs.
It can be said.
In Zhenmensi, everyone's hands were stained with a lot of blood.
When a person is used to seeing life and death, he will become indifferent to many things.
When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but he got used to it as time went by.
Zhenmus is huge.
Those who can stay in Zhenmusi are all powerful masters, or those who have the potential to become masters.
Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.
Among them, the Zhenmagic Division is divided into two professions, one is the Guardian Envoy, and the other is the Exorcist.
Anyone who enters the Town of Demons starts from the lowest level of Demon Slayers,
Then he was promoted step by step, and eventually he was expected to become a guardian envoy.
Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the town of magic division, and he was also the lowest-ranked demon slayer.
With the memory of his predecessor~www.mtlnovel.com~ he is also very familiar with the environment of Zhenmensi.
It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.
Different from other places full of chills in Zhenmagus, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd. In the **** Zhenmagus, it presents a different tranquility.
At this time, the attic door was open, and occasionally people came in and out.
Shen Changqing just hesitated for a moment, then stepped in.
Enter the attic.
The environment has changed in vain.
A scent of ink mixed with a faint smell of blood hit his face, making his brows furrowed instinctively, but then relaxed quickly.
There is almost no way to clean off the **** smell on everyone in Zhenmusi.
