Chapter 1548: Four. Chess (12)

Excessively forcing a person or a country to have no benefits. To maximize the benefits, the best way is to apply just the right pressure while giving a little temptation. ※Spin$罗$小※Said that the combination of candy and whip is always the best way to achieve the goal.
The reason is very simple, just what is "just the right pressure", what kind of temptation is enough, this is a question worth thinking about.
In essence, as long as it is a person, you can buy it. Everyone has a price tag in your heart, as long as you are willing to pay the price. If you cannot buy someone, either the asking price is too high or your resources are not enough. At this time, pressure is needed... or more directly-violence-to come out and solve the problem.
To buy a promising young man who is unable to extricate himself in a fatal first love, let him betray his soul and love-for Li Lin, this is not worth discussing at all, or even worth getting his eyes on. Admittedly, relationships built with interests may be weaker than glass, and will break apart with a touch of a finger. But the building is based on emotions—essentially the relationship above the chemical reaction, which can only be said to be soap bubbles. Even without external pressure, the soap bubbles will burst themselves.
Of course, love affects IQ. Once a rational person falls into love, he can't extricate himself, and even stupid and crazy things can be done. Even if this young man is given a chance to fly to the top, whether he will betray the first love lover of life and death in order to catch this spider silk that leads to the upper layer is still unknown.
Betrayal or not betrayal;
Survival or destruction;
I believe Marseille will trouble this issue for some time, and finally make a difficult decision, but that is his own problem, and others will not help him, and will not care.
Is there any reason to care about this trivial problem? No matter how he chooses, the final outcome will not change. Marseille's troubles, his choices, his struggles-for the emperor, even Yu Xing is not enough, at best it can only be regarded as an episode.
"On the final revision of Plan Z, final discussions are under way. The opinions of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Finance tend to the Y plan, while the Navy (Kriegsmarine) and the Shipbuilding Committee insist on the X plan."
"idiot."
Looking at the sunny scenery outside the window, the emperor left his cold words.
As the most important armament construction plan of the Holy Gilmanian Empire in the next few decades, Plan Z has received great attention. So far, there have been no less than twenty seminars related to light, including shipyards, metallurgical plants, and finance. Ministry of Transport, Ministry of Transport, Navy Department, Shipbuilding Committee, Ministry of Foreign Affairs... Relevant departments have conducted "in-depth and candid exchanges" at various meetings (please refer to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' Black Book), almost every meeting is noisy It is not possible to have diplomatic relations. On several occasions, the whole martial arts will be staged.
It will happen like this, the core reason is nothing more than the direction that each department focuses on.
Shipyards and related enterprise units welcome their huge orders, but before that they need to recruit workers, organize training, expand factories, purchase additional facilities, etc. Considering the time of related preparations, they hope that the entire shipbuilding plan cycle It can grow longer and the scale should be as large as possible; based on fiscal pressure and the healthy operation of the national economy, the Ministry of Finance agreed to extend the cycle, but opposed large-scale shipbuilding, and also tried to reduce the size of the fleet; the Ministry of Transport should not only undertake In the process of the circulation of materials, they also have to divide some resources and permissions. They naturally tend to reduce the size of the fleet; the shipbuilding committee does not have much opinion on the size of the fleet. I only hope that the big brothers will fix the plan as soon as possible. And the cost of accounting; as the most unseen "third-class department (triple third-class army: first-class air force, second-class army, third-class navy, fourth-class marine corps)" among the three armed forces, the navy who is hungry for a long time is naturally It is hoped that the larger the scale of shipbuilding, the better, and the shorter the shipbuilding cycle. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is the most contradictory. As a civilian department, they do not want the military to occupy too many resources and voice. In addition, the radical shipbuilding plan will intensify the empire and other Contradictions between countries will make it difficult for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to carry out the work, but on the other hand, the diplomacy of the Empire is built on a strong military force. It is precisely because of the strong military guarantee that the diplomats of the Empire can Occupy an advantageous position in negotiations.
After various conflicts and compromises, various opinions were finally expressed through two diametrically opposed shipbuilding plans: the X plan supported by the navy-led party, and the Y plan supported by the civilian-administrative party. .
The X plan is an all-inclusive "large fleet plan" from battleships, aircraft carriers, cruisers, destroyers, submarines, torpedo boats, work boats, etc. The core goal is to build four large fleet aircraft carriers, six A large battleship is the core, supplemented by a huge fleet of three battlecruisers, twenty heavy cruisers, forty-four light cruisers, sixty-eight destroyers, and 249 submarines. A fleet of this size is enough to ensure that the empire completely smashes the maritime power of any country. Even if the navies of all countries are all tied together, the large artillery of the imperial high seas fleet is enough to bombard it to the slag.
Plan Y is not as
gorgeous
as Plan X. In Plan Y, the battleship was cut down to only four medium-sized aircraft carriers and three battle cruisers, and the cruiser was cut down to only twelve heavy cruisers and twenty ships. The number of light cruisers, destroyers and submarines is the same as the X plan. According to the concept of the Y plan, in today's battlefield dominated by air dominance, the naval warfare model of fleet battle line is outdated. The victory or defeat of the sea will depend on who can obtain air dominance and continue to spend huge amounts of national money to build battleships The core large fleet has no meaning at all except that it meets the interests of the munitions industry and the navy’s unrealistic fantasies. Rather than build a useless fleet that is backward and costly and time-consuming, it is better to build a fleet of small and fine quality, which is usually used to maintain the maritime transportation line of the empire. In wartime, it is composed of three battlecruisers as the core and compiled into three Special formations, each formation consists of a battle cruiser and an aircraft carrier, as well as 3-4 heavy cruisers, 4 to 6 light cruisers serving as missions, and a corresponding number of destroyers and submarines. The main task of the task force is to continue to attack and weaken the enemy's maritime squadron, waiting to attack the enemy's maritime traffic line.
In Li Lin's view, both plans have their own problems. Plan X thinking still stays in the era of big ship artillery, not to mention the country's overall strategic goals and economic affordability, and the content is too complicated and the cycle is long; The Y plan is too conservative, so that the number of final built warships is lower than the minimum demand standard, not to mention that there are many technical problems; but after comprehensive consideration, he is more inclined to the Y plan, but only to make adjustments in some details.
The overall concept of the Y plan is correct. In the era when air battleships, MDSs, MAs, and drones have been widely installed, it is extremely foolish to continue to build a large surface fleet with the sole goal of fleet decisive battle. History has long proved that traditional artillery battleships can’t escape in front of aircraft carriers. They can’t escape. The fleet without air control is the salted fish on the chopping board, which can only be slaughtered. Under the premise of knowing this, Li Lin would of course not choose to engage in large artillery and large artillery. In his conception, the Navy’s main task is to maintain the maritime traffic line, with the attack and killing of enemy commercial ships and cruisers. team. In order to take on this task, the core of the imperial navy high seas fleet can only be aircraft carriers, cruiser killers and destroyers.
The earliest cruiser killer was actually a battle cruiser, equipped with a large-caliber artillery of the battleship class, with sufficient protection against the main gun of the large cruiser, weakening the protection and vacating the space for the installation of more boiler hosts. The tactical thoughts embodied in it are actually the same as those of various later "cruiser killers", that is, "faster than me is stronger than me, and stronger than me is faster than me". The strategy of using troops is the same as that of the target of the hunter-the cruiser. It is scattered on the ocean, and the single ship sails, or forms a small formation with the light cruiser and the heavy cruiser. Line, destroy the imperial cruiser that performs a broken engagement at sea.
Not to mention a bunch of examples of naval battles in another world. In the previous wars, the Battle of the Tapura Estuary had fully proved the value of the "cruiser killer". With the cooperation of underwater and aviation forces, the Defense Cruiser easily sent the Charlemagne task force to the seabed~EbookFREE.me~ As for the value of the attack ship, see what Charlieman was blocked. There are counts. The same thing may not be repeated in Albion.
The last and most important reason is that neither the cruiser killer nor the assault ship is close to the psychological bottom line of the countries. In the technical exchange with the Republic, the countries have acquired the ability to build large steam armored ships, and have also made some progress in the research and development of new naval guns. However, the overall backward situation has not improved. Even Albion’s latest Armstrong 12-inch (305mm) caliber rear-mounted rifled gun has little advantage compared to the Imperial Navy’s 203㎜ naval gun, not to mention the emperor. 406㎜ cannon on the number It is conceivable that when the empire was building a super battleship equipped with a 406 mm or larger caliber main gun, how fierce the Congress responded. In comparison, the 280~330㎜ caliber main gun of the cruiser killer equipment is enough to cope with the current and future threats for a long time, and the stimulation to the countries is not so strong.
Taking into account the shipbuilding cycle, cost, technical performance and number of ships under the same total tonnage limit, it is the most feasible plan to build a navy with the main task of breaking and anti-breaking.
The overall direction is clear. The next step is to wait for the terrorist attack to be launched on time, step by step to advance the maritime blockade against the Republic, release the navy’s wind expansion, and finally promote the naval arms control negotiations, restrict others from building ships while leaving a narrow door for their own military expansion .
