The Rise of the Empire
Chapter 2557: Rely on yourself
"To be honest, in the face of this situation, our principle is to fight each other." Su Xiong said with a bit of embarrassment. Can I use the large fleet to fight in bad weather? Naturally, it is possible. After all, the crown prince used the bad weather as a cover, and at the same time, waiting to besiege Thomas' fleet in the morning fog is a very classic battle. In this engagement, the cooperation of the German fleet can be said to be quite good. Of course, the Americans will definitely not be able to use the coordination and tactics that the elite German High Seas Fleet can play. Let Su Xiong cooperate with the US fleet in complex conditions? Su Xiong felt that it was better to do it alone, because at this time, Su Xiong would rather trust his own judgment and the direct information provided by the fleet than the Americans!
And in a foggy day, the information itself is vague. After a few more transmissions, after people have added oil and vinegar, you can imagine how this information will be! This is how the so-called "dug a person out of a well" stems! And because of the original optical factors in the foggy weather, they are worse than fighting in the clear night sky. At least at night, the fire from the artillery can be easily captured by optical instruments. The general direction cannot be wrong, but if you actually reach out your hand In the foggy weather, even if you can find it with a special searchlight, the distance is very close! At this time, it really depends on the quality of the combatants and some special things!
Yes, the German Navy is actually somewhat prepared to deal with this extraordinary situation. For example, special listening devices are used to assist in positioning the opponent’s artillery. Well, maybe someone said, if a big battle is fought and the sounds are so mixed, how do you locate it? This is what you don't understand, right? In fact, during the First World War, there was a device to reversely measure the position of the artillery by sound. This was done by the British, and the British are more capable of driving the magnetic needles by amplifying the vibration of the sound to stay on the paper tape. Under some special traces, and based on these traces, noise can be eliminated or even certain specific artillery can be distinguished!
And the Germans will naturally do this too! And because the Japanese and the British used the same British guns, the Germans naturally knew the audio characteristics of British naval guns! Once the sound recorded by the sound locator is compared with the signal samples already obtained, it is not known whether the distant signal is made by the Japanese? The Germans have a full set of British naval gun data, ranging from 6-inch guns to 15-inch guns! In other words, as long as the distance is not very far, even in the case of fog, the Germans can determine whether the sound of the guns in the distance is from the Japanese fleet, and the approximate distance and direction can be measured by the way!
Even for this engagement, the German Navy also took various calibers of naval guns from the United Kingdom, and conducted test firings under different conditions to collect a full set of data. Subsequently, the sound positioning system was used to verify this in some exercises. The reliability and accuracy of the sea-based anti-artillery system. And in this regard, the German Navy also shared some information with the Americans, but unfortunately, the U.S. Navy is not interested in this. The reason is simple. This system has a short range of action and has a large error, even at night. As long as there are searchlights or flares, the effect of the rangefinder is better than that of the sound positioning system. Moreover, this kind of ranging can only be qualitative, not quantitative, which means that the accuracy of azimuth and distance cannot be used for fire. Control, so the Americans are not interested. The only good use of the sound system is when the fog is too large and the searchlights and flares are not easy to use.
Therefore, if the weather conditions are not particularly bad, and if the weather is really very bad, Su Xiong does not believe that the US Navy’s system can provide too much effective information. It is not that the destroyers and patrol boats responsible for battlefield training cannot detect the Japanese. . It is about how to report these news in real time and accurately, and then let the U.S. Navy make the right decision.
In the case of more complicated weather, most of the information collected is fake, and all kinds of chaotic events and even out of nothing will happen. If 100 pieces of information are sent up, maybe only 5 pieces are true, so good, how to retrieve useful 5 pieces of information from these 100 pieces of information is a very difficult problem, which requires a large number of experienced staff to choose from.
War is a system, and the General Staff is to process this information. Su Xiong and Raidel’s team were all masters who fought in World War I. Who has not participated in a double-digit naval battle? Despite the North Sea wars, there have been several battles, but in the Baltic and North Sea areas, small-scale fleet engagements have never been interrupted. Other than that, the British wanted to deploy mines near German ports, and the Germans wanted to The mines are deployed to the coast of the United Kingdom, so good, the destroyer forces on both sides must take advantage of the bad weather to mine and anti-mine! When it comes to dealing with bad weather, who can be more experienced than the British and German navies?
Just like a professional accountant looking at the bill~lightnovelpub.net~ you can judge whether the bill is true or not even without checking it! The staff of the German Navy can guess whether the information is false alarm or really possible by looking at the information. They know all the key points under severe weather and combat conditions. They are both policemen and thieves! In the face of this kind of master who has experienced a lot of fighting and has lived to the present, can his level be low?
Therefore, Su Xiong really does not trust the US Navy who has almost zero actual combat experience under harsh conditions, ten staff officers and eight have never been on the battlefield! And even if the intelligence is true, can Benson make the correct judgment? Ma Dan, wait for you to find a wrong information from a bunch of messages and then give me an order after a long delay. This... Su Xiong couldn't imagine what kind of results would be achieved in this situation.
"I hope that once the war breaks out, the German fleet will have more autonomy." Su Xiong said suddenly.
"What is more autonomy?" Benson's tone revealed a hint of dissatisfaction, not because Benson thought Su Xiong would paddle. It's not because Su Xiong questioned his own ability. To be honest, if you simply look at actual combat experience, Benson is really rubbish. What battle have you commanded? How many games have you won? Have you been besieged? Chase down the enemy? Have you ever really commanded a battle in which fleets, aviation forces, and submarines cooperate with each other on the battlefield? Benson has never done anything, but it is a pity that Su Xiong has done it. In the past two years, he has intercepted and killed countless Allied transport ships in the Indian Ocean, escaped from Thomas, and just passed the Japanese fleet! It is normal for Su Xiong to question Benson's ability, and Benson should understand...
