Chapter 1202 Naval transformation (2)

As for it, it would be unreasonable for the Kaiser to let Bavaria fly out of the plane and not let the prince take the lead. After all, no one here is more proficient in aviation than the prince. There is nothing more researching the sea-based aviation force than the Bavarian team!

In fact, for the German emperor and the senior German army, it does not matter who should be the head of the naval aviation unit. The key is where the funding and establishment come from! The Bavarian Air Force is willing to bear at least one-third of the cost, so Prussia should bear the remaining costs. After all, Bavaria has paid more than before. Even Fakingham and others, who most distrust Bavaria, must admit that the Bavarian Legion occupies a very important position in the system of the entire German Empire. Provided a quarter of the strong armed forces for the Empire! And this contribution far exceeds the proportion of the state in the entire empire.

Everyone knows this truth, but when it comes to taking out things, it's not that easy. "Can this number be reduced? Or can the composition be changed? We can have more fighters, but can we have fewer new twin-engine K-6 bombers? We do not currently need to rely on the strike power of land-based aircraft. Isn't it?" Xiao Maoqi lowered his eyes and asked in a negotiating tone.

The K-6 bomber can be regarded as the German version of the BF27 twin-engine bomber. Except that the 325-horsepower V12 liquid-cooled engine currently used in the engine is worse than the British Jiefang-12 engine, the overall performance is better than the FB27. Some, the maximum ammunition carrying capacity exceeds 2000 pounds, and the axis pylon in the middle of the body can hang an 800KG bomb or a torpedo of the same level! Because the aerodynamic layout is more reasonable, and with the help of booster equipment, it has advantages in terms of speed and climb. The German military has high hopes for this aircraft, and Wilhelm II intends to use this aircraft to carry out bombing missions to London and other places...

"Britain and France have ideas about the Dardanelles, I think everyone should be very clear. This place we cannot lose. And our deployed fleet is difficult to complete this task, facing the three fleets of Britain, France and Japan, we It must take some extra chips. Even if the K-6 bomber unit is assigned to the Navy and then training, time is a bit tight. This problem should not be bargained. The first batch of K-6 bombers of the Bavarian Air Force already have One-third has been assigned to the navy." The prince tactfully rejected Xiao Moqi's suggestion.

"Isn't the Navy's 6 capital ships in Turkey not enough?" William II asked.

"The sea is enough, but just like the problem we encountered this time, the real problem comes from the air. With Germany's strength, it is easy to support an air defense net for the fleet, but it is definitely not possible in Turkey. The repair has not yet been completed." The prince paused and continued: "Recently, Greece has also moved towards the Allied powers. If Britain and France simultaneously stab Greece and the Dardanelles to advance, then our pressure will be very great."

"In other words, do you plan to let the newly formed naval aviation force participate in Dardanelles operations? Isn't it possible for ordinary bomber units?" Xiao Moqi asked.

"Although the same is throwing bombs, but attacking sea targets is different from hitting targets on the ground. The difficulty of this training is very different. And the best anti-ship weapon of the Air Force is torpedo, which is not available in Army Aviation. In addition, it is listed separately. The naval aviation that comes out is also more convenient and timely for the command. Perhaps the British fleet will appear outside Wilhelmshaven tomorrow, and it is obviously too late to count on the army’s aviation team.” Based on the principle of learning from history, in order not to repeat history 2 During the war, the German navy and the Italian navy had no aircraft, and the prince must request that the naval aviation establishment be implemented first! There must be something, and the quantity must be enough!

"All the shortcomings will be temporarily transferred from the Bavarian Air Force. I promise that Prussia will make up for it according to the estimated share before April next year. The training mission should not be dropped. I will directly assign the aircraft and pilots to the Bavarian Air Force. "The Kaiser thought for a while and said.

"Yes." The prince nodded and said, this result is not bad, anyway, before April of the following year, Bavaria will not launch a large-scale battle. The number of air forces is sufficient. In this case, it is possible to support the navy. And the Kaiser promised to fill up the aircraft posts soon, that's enough. The two kingdoms that the German emperor didn't need to make for this trivial matter were a bit unable to come to power.

"So what about the fleet command? I personally think that the establishment and operation of the land-based aviation fleet is simpler than the latter. If a new main fleet is to be added to the fleet, I am afraid that the entire fleet will have a huge battle mode. Are you ready? Ruprecht? Are our navy generals ready?" William II asked.

"So we need time. If next year we can beat the Russians to death, then we have time at sea to take time with the British. Next year will be a crucial year for the Eastern Front, and for the High Seas Fleet. It is a year of accumulating strength and completing the transformation." The prince said.

"Well~lightnovelpub.net~ Then come up with a practical plan and make good use of the Russian whetstone." The Kaiser nodded and said.

After finalizing the naval aviation related matters, the substantive work of the meeting between the prince and the Kaiser has been completed. The prince is not interested in participating in the remaining courtesy or social work. Now, what he needs to do most is to consider the future joint operations of the German High Seas Fleet's aircraft carrier squadron and the main fleet. As for the air defense of the Port of Kiel, the prince is not worried. Because these can be traced with historical experience.

What if there is no radar? Establish a ground observation post! Anyway, airplanes are not fast now, not faster than later cars! After the fighters and interceptors were in place, with the early warning of the remote observation post, it was not a big problem to block most of the aircraft. As for the small part? Can be handed over to the anti-aircraft artillery and anti-air ball in the port area. Yes, you read that right, it is anti-air balloon! This stuff is easy to use during the second war! Tie the balloon with a metal rope to force the bomber to fly higher. And in this era, bombers don’t fly high... The wings are very large, so the effect of air balloons in this era is definitely better!
