The Rise of the Empire
Chapter 2792: a kind reminder
"Thank you very much for this breakfast. If you have anything to say, then you can start now." After finishing the last piece of sausage on his plate, Raidel wiped the corner of his mouth with a napkin.
"What do you think of this battle?" Major General Logan also put down his knife and fork and held off the others.
"Do you mean the impact of this battle or other aspects? Your words are somewhat broad." Raidel said.
"I don't want to discuss the future situation and direction. This is not my research field. I am a soldier, a pure soldier. I only care about how to win the war." Major General Logan said.
"So, the most important thing for you to find me today is to tell me that the future war situation has changed. Maybe when the next war breaks out, the battleship will be swept into the garbage dump of history, isn't it?" Ryder looked calm. Said.
Major General Logan was silent. He really had this idea, but it was inconvenient to say it directly. In his opinion, Raidel was a commander from a battleship. Regardless of his personal feelings or experience, in Luo Major General Gen seems to have some resistance to the aircraft carriers.
However, some things he wanted to do today could not bypass Raidel. The reason was simple. Raidel was a lieutenant general and the highest commander of the German military in this battle. Any battle report must have Raidel's signature to take effect. Although Rogan was born in Bavaria, he is still a little far away from the highest level. It is really difficult to directly apply to Crown Prince Ruprecht, and even if it is, it will have extremely negative effects. After all, this kind of leapfrogging Reporting will definitely cause dissatisfaction from his boss, especially Lieutenant General Raidel in front of him. So unless it is a last resort, Logan does not want to offend Raidel, because there is Su Xiong behind Raidel! You can even count Earl Spey!
"If it is at a meeting within the Navy, I will not express my agreement with your point of view. Because the aircraft carrier still has many problems. And I must also consider some political issues. This kind of thorough and comprehensive reform. It takes an opportunity and the overall promotion of the superiors, but it is clear that it is not appropriate now." Rydell's words made Logan's heart cold.
"But from a purely technical point of view, I think that the era when aircraft carriers dominate the ocean will inevitably come. The role of battleships will be reduced. From the mainstay of maritime decisive battles to the **** warships of aircraft carriers, the main force of night combat and the main force of land attack. "Ryder said with a smile.
"Your foresight makes me admire, and your mind makes me ashamed." Logan said excitedly.
"Well, this battle report aviation battle and the general overview are up to you. I just add it. This is not a problem. Now, while we still have time, let us discuss other things, such as the navy and Aviation issues for an in-depth discussion?" Raidel said.
"Unexpectedly, you also did research on naval aviation?" Logan asked.
"There are more or less, and I am different from you. Your main research direction is carrier-based aircraft forces. At the same time, I also have some research on the impact of the land-based air force on naval warfare. By the way, the navy The one that Base Aviation is most interested in is Earl Spey. If you have time when you go back, you can talk to him.” Raidel said meaningfully.
Obviously, Rydell is telling Logan who will be more convenient to talk to in the future, which is also a certain point. As for why Earl Spey is very interested in land-based aviation? The reason is simple. When he was in the Mediterranean, his fleet was bombed by British land-based bombers!
"So what else do you need to remind you?" Logan asked sincerely. After realizing that Raidel's attitude towards aircraft carriers was at least friendly, Logan still wanted to hear the opinion of the senior navy.
"First of all, in your report, do not mention too much about the advantages and comparisons of aircraft carriers over battleships. This behavior will make the battleship faction in the system dissatisfied and resented. The Navy is a military that values inheritance and tradition. Be sure to pay attention. Secondly, you have to talk more about the current fleet's air defense and aircraft carrier itself. The former is a content that cannot be ignored. Even the steadfast warship faction must acknowledge this reality, while discussing the aircraft carrier itself It is more of a technical discussion. For example, how can we build more robust aircraft carriers and how to carry more and larger carrier-based aircraft. The Air Force has already prepared a new aircraft bidding plan. I think the Navy is also coming soon. We actually have a lot to talk about about the issue of new models." Raidel said.
Raidel’s position in the navy is not only because of his previous combat exploits, but also because of his better interpersonal relationships and experience in dealing with people. He also benefits a lot. Raidel will try to reduce as much as possible when he does anything. Resistance will never cause unnecessary trouble.
Raidel told Logan that this time he only needed to talk about technical issues. Don't always think about letting aircraft carriers replace battleships now. If you do this, it will definitely lead to a strong backlash from the naval fleet. After all, there are still a dozen high seas fleets left. There are many battleships, thousands of officers and more than 20,000 people ~ lightnovelpub.net~ Now you want to let the battleship force give up the main position, what do you let those people do? Even if the big guys like Scheer and Hipper agree with your point of view, they have to choose the side of the fleet in peacetime! If you want to ask when this problem can be completely resolved, then you can only say that this pressure will become less when the older generation has retired!
Compared with the very remote issue of future naval strategy and tactics, Raidel is more concerned about how to build a better future aircraft carrier! And equipped with better and bigger airplanes! This is the key! When the number of aircraft carriers has increased, the performance has improved, and the proportion of officers and soldiers in the front-line personnel of the high seas fleet has increased, many things will come naturally. It's fine to talk at that time. Whether it's Raidel or Logan, they can afford it!
"Okay, I've said everything you should pay attention to. I won't admit any of what I said before going out of this door. Think about it. Now we discuss a new problem, how to make the Imperial Navy The aircraft carrier can better fulfill its mission." Raidel said. "Well, General Logan, as a professional aircraft carrier commander, tell me your opinion!"
