Chapter 1020 Summary of the Japanese Campaign

Generally speaking, Seiyoshi Kato was quite satisfied with this battle, except for the last stage, except for being touched by the Spey fleet and then blasted... Of course, this is no way. The other party's position is so tricky, and when he is facing the enemy's innocent clone, he can't help this Amaterasu! The laws of nature still need to be observed. It’s pretty good for people to come back with 4 fights 2. Kato Seiyoshi thinks that by bringing back 2 warships, he can get a medal!

Of course, the Japanese navy in this era is still very reasonable. The actual situation in Europe does need to be considered. Kato Seiyoshi is also doing very well. At least he has played the imperial fleet and broke the myth that the German fleet is invincible under the equal number... …. Although the warship was seriously damaged, it was Britain and France who were responsible for maintenance... So in the end, the Japanese Admiralty gave Kato Sadakichi an award.

And after Dading in his heart, Seiyoshi Kato also began to prepare for his battle summary. In fact, there is nothing to say in tactics. What kind of tactics can 2V2 reflect? It's just sparring. The real thing is the technical analysis. In order to write a good technical analysis, Seiyoshi Kato often communicated with technicians from Britain and France. At the same time, he also visited the shipyard many times to observe the repair and damage of the warship.

"In general, the defense of the core area of ​​the Fuso-class battleship is still very good. The German battleship has hit our main armor belt many times, but none of the shells has penetrated completely. The best record is just leaving a deep An 8-inch pit."

"The biggest problem of the ship is that the thickness of the armor belt near the flue is not enough. The defensive efficiency of the honeycomb bulletproof steel plate is much lower than that of the whole steel plate, so it needs to be strengthened appropriately. At the same time, it is best to properly strengthen the armor belt support structure of the hull. Strengthened."

"The serious water ingress problem caused by the thin armor belts of the warship's bow and tail needs to be corrected. If there is not enough weight to increase the armor, I hope that the warship guards can be filled with foam cement or dry pine wood or sealed steel pipes to reduce water ingress."

With regard to armored defense, Seiyoshi Kato really couldn't say anything bad. After all, the tonnage of a ship is limited, and you cannot make the defense of the entire hull the same as the main armor belt... After actual combat, Kato Seiyoshi and Ichikan Japanese technicians were very good at the immediate damage to the battleship. The core area increased the strength of the back plate support body to reduce the possibility of cracks. At the same time, the bow and stern of the ship should be minimized as much as possible.

"Although the Fuso is already very good, it is fully capable of naval battles under any current circumstances, but I have to say that our firepower is still a little worse. German warships cannot penetrate our armor, and we cannot penetrate each other either. 15-inch guns have limited power. If possible, I hope that our future warships will be equipped with larger guns."

"In addition, the walk of the 5 twin-mounted main gun turrets is very good. If possible, I hope the firepower layout of the new generation of Imperial battleships can be the same as that of the Fuso. The guns of the German battleships have a significantly higher rate of fire than ours. We shoot In 3 times, they can fire at least 4 times."

In this battle, the only thing that made Kato Teiyoshi feel depressed was the firepower of the battleship. In fact, to be honest, this time Fuso won the opponent with no technical level. In terms of the number of hits, the Austrian-Hungarian fleet dominates. In terms of accuracy, the Japanese feel the same. In other words, from the point of view of artillery skills, the Japanese fleet is at best equal to each other. He can win because of the big ship, more blood, more pipes, big guns, and proper hardware.

The fast firing speed of the German warships and the terror output after entering the effective firing impressed Kato Seiyoshi. Therefore, in terms of firepower, in addition to the larger caliber artillery, it also requires a higher firepower. It is estimated that the breech block cannot be changed, but it is necessary to increase the rate of fire and add a mechanized push rod for the main gun.

"In this battle, aerial reconnaissance played a very important role. Relying on aerial reconnaissance, we found the Austro-Hungarian fleet going east as early as possible. But also because of the short life of seaplanes, our seaplanes were in battle. We were forced to withdraw from the battle because of the exhaustion of fuel, which is one of the important reasons why we failed to find the incoming Spey fleet." After a long while, Kato Seiki added another sentence.

"We'd better build a larger seaplane carrier to solve the reconnaissance problem of warships. In fact, in the case of visual search, the search sector of the aircraft is very narrow. If you want to find the frontal 120-degree sector, the distance is 150 thousand. For battleships from meters away, we must have about 10 seaplanes flying in the air, and it is difficult to maintain this number solely relying on capital ships, and the operating space of seaplanes on capital ships is very small and inefficient."

I have to say that Kato Seiyoshi's summary is still very good. In addition to the question of warship defense, the emphasis on future warship firepower and aviation power is very meaningful! The power of the 15-inch naval gun is indeed relatively small compared to the enemy it faces, and it is even aimed at Fusang’s own side-string main armor. Whether it is the British 15-inch L42 or the Bavarian 15-inch L45 gun, it is difficult to deal with. There is no chance for the British 15-inch, and the German 15-inch has a small chance.... To tell the truth~lightnovelpub.net~ If the armor material is not considered, the famous Richelieu in history is the armor with a tilt of 320MM at 15.8 degrees. Fusang has now used a 330MM tilt at 18 degrees! It's a bit too high to say that it is one level higher, but it must be stronger!

The emphasis on aviation power is the crowning touch of this report, but it is a pity that in the end it only focused on the investigation and did not consider more other issues. Of course, this can be understood as The Japanese heritage is not good. When Japanese airplanes use 100-horsepower engines, it is difficult to install anything other than a person. Bavaria Aviation Machinery Manufacturing Group has already produced a 300-horsepower engine!

Compared with the Japanese, who was fairly satisfied and full of optimism, Earl Spey’s summary was full of pessimism and disappointment. It was not that he did not play well, but because he had realized that, The technical superiority of the German fleet has been weakened, and it is different from the Allied fleet, which is still working on dumplings. Count Spey knew that it is no longer possible for the Empire to start construction of new capital ships, that is, from a technical point of view. Look, the German Imperial Navy has solidified. There will be no new upgrades before the warship is over!
