Although, the trend of aircraft carriers becoming the main force in naval warfare is unstoppable. However, aircraft carriers cannot completely replace capital ships at this stage. In many specific battlefields, the role of capital ships is still irreplaceable.
Moreover, among the generals of the German Navy, many people are still believers in giant ship cannons. It is obviously unrealistic to cancel the battleship at once. What's more, in the minds of many people, capital ships are still a symbol of strength.
With these capital ships, the German Navy will become even stronger.
"The British's four 'New Iron Duke-class' battleships, named 'Nassau-class' battleships, four 'New George V-class' battleships, named 'Helgoland-class' battleships, four 'Lion Class' battleships named 'Caesar-class' battleships! Three 'Prestige-class' battlecruisers named 'Blücher-class' battlecruisers, three 'Glory-class' battlecruisers named 'Moltke-class' battleships The four 'Hood-class' battlecruisers are named 'Brandenburg-class' battlecruisers!" Qin Tian continued.
Qin Tian directly changed the names of the 12 battleships and 10 battlecruisers obtained from Britain. All used the names of the retired battleships and battlecruisers of the German Navy this time, even including the names of the first-class pre-dreadnought ships built by the German Navy.
The strength of the German navy has not only not been weakened by the retirement of a large number of capital ships, but has been strengthened by the addition of a large number of warships obtained from the United Kingdom.
"In addition to these capital ships, the Imperial Navy will continue to build aircraft carriers in the next ten years. The current aircraft carriers carry too few fighters. Moreover, the performance of the carrier-based aircraft is not strong, and can only carry medium-sized aviation torpedoes. That's all. The dive angle of the bomber is not big enough to hit the target accurately. When our carrier-based aircraft can drop heavy torpedoes and dive and drop bombs at a large angle, our carrier-based aircraft force can be regarded as truly powerful. Combat capability. In addition to the current six aircraft carriers, in the next ten years, the empire will build three tiers of 12 aircraft carriers. Once these aircraft carriers are completed and put into service, the strength of the imperial navy will truly be considered unrivaled in the world!" Qin Tian said. He has always believed that capital ships are only the main force of the German Navy during the transitional period, even if relying on these capital ships to defeat the mighty British Navy. However, it still couldn't change Qin Tian's emphasis on aircraft carriers. He believes that in the next naval battle, the aircraft carrier will be the real protagonist.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Count Tirpitz and other naval generals replied excitedly.
Ten years later, the Imperial Navy will become a powerful navy with 22 battleships, 16 battlecruisers and 18 aircraft carriers. They believe that such strength is enough to make the German navy dominate the world's oceans.
"Before, the main force of the Imperial Navy was always within the High Seas Fleet. It can be said that the High Seas Fleet is the Imperial Navy. But now, as the empire's sphere of influence expands to the whole world, and all capital ships are placed in the High Seas Fleet, it has It’s unrealistic. The empire must have multiple powerful fleets deployed around the world to safeguard the empire’s global interests!” Qin Tian said.
Admiral Reinhardt Scheer, commander of the High Seas Fleet, looked a little unnatural. Dispersing the main force of the navy among several fleets will undoubtedly weaken his influence. However, Admiral Reinhardt Scheer knew that this was an inevitable development of the German Navy, and no one could stop it. If you forcefully stop it, you will only be crushed to pieces.
Fortunately, Admiral Reinhard Scheer will succeed Earl Tirpitz as the Minister of the Navy next, and it has become a certainty. Marshal Earl Tirpitz is sixty-six years old. At this age, it is time to retire. Admiral Reinhard Scheer was only 52 years old, and he was in the prime of life.
"Your Majesty, how many fleets does the Imperial Navy need to disperse into?" Marshal Earl Tirpitz asked.
"First of all, the empire and the eastern Atlantic region need a fleet to maintain the safety of the empire. The Atlantic also needs to have a fleet to deal with the United States and the British who fled to Canada. Ensure the safety of the empire's routes in the Atlantic. The Mediterranean is an important channel for communication between the East and the West. At the same time, the relationship between the Austro-Hungarian Empire and us is getting worse. Therefore, we also need to have a fleet in the Mediterranean. In the Indian Ocean, India is about to become the most important overseas colony of the empire. Plus The colonies of the Empire in Africa and Australia, the entire Indian Ocean is surrounded by the Empire. The Empire also needs to deploy a fleet in the Indian Ocean. Similarly, in the Pacific Ocean, the island countries and the Empire are against each other. The Empire is in the Pacific region, especially the Pacific Ocean The Central and Southwest Pacific have huge interests. The Imperial Navy must also have a strong force there to deal with the islanders. It can even cross the Pacific Ocean and pose a threat to the west coast of the Americans!" Qin Tian put his own Ideas come out.
The admirals present all frowned. Dispersing the main force of the German Navy into five fleets at once is undoubtedly too scattered. Of course, even so, each fleet of the Imperial Navy can rule the roost in the sea area it is responsible for. At least at this stage can rule the roost. Once a war breaks out, the imperial navy can be assembled immediately, thus possessing a strong strength.
"The Imperial Home Fleet, consisting of 4 'Kaiser-class' battleships and 4 'Brandenburg-class' battlecruisers. The Atlantic Fleet, consisting of five 'Bavaria-class' battleships and three 'Makensen-class' battlecruisers The Pacific Fleet consists of five 'König-class' battleships and three 'Derfflinger-class' battlecruisers, and the Mediterranean Fleet consists of four 'Helgoland-class' battleships and three 'Moltke-class' battleships. The Indian Ocean Fleet consists of four 'Nassau-class' battleships and three 'Blücher-class' battlecruisers. As for the aircraft carrier, we will make arrangements later! Usually, each fleet is responsible for its own defense zone. Once something happens, Then the Ministry of the Navy will dispatch it." Qin Tian made an arrangement for the power consumption of the five fleets.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The navy's generals all replied. Everyone looked at Qin Tian with fiery eyes. For nothing else, the German Navy has so many more fleets at once, whether it is the fleet commander or the chief of staff of the fleet, it is worth fighting for!
