The Rise of the Empire

In fact, as the prince of the time traveler, it is easy to understand that Yang Yonglin can serve as the leader of the new ship. First of all, Yang Yonglin is the chief mate of the Zhenyuan, and his status and ability are already outstanding. Secondly, all warships now have one person and one hole, and there are no redundant captains, so it is inevitable for Yang Yonglin to take the opportunity to take the position.

It is precisely because Beiyang has appointed Yang Yonglin as the captain of the new ship by default, so he was specially arranged to come and accompany Ruprecht around. After all, Prince Ruprecht is also considered "rich in actual combat experience"! And it was precisely because Ruprecht guessed that Yang Yonglin would become the new captain of this battleship, so he said the following words to him!

"Japan will definitely buy new ships. To be honest, I am not optimistic about the Beiyang Navy. The Qing Dynasty is rotten from the root, and war has never been a purely military confrontation." Ruprecht said.

"Do your best to obey the destiny!" Yang Yonglin said calmly. "I will fight until the last moment!"

"Very good, do what you have to do. What are you going to do? How to use this powerful battleship? Your tactical system is not suitable for this battleship, so I hope what you said can be a little new." Rupreshi Te's question already has the meaning of a school test, but relying on Ruprecht's record of beating the Japanese fleet in minutes, he was said to be Yang Yonglin, and an officer of the Royal Navy should listen to it with peace of mind! This is not a matter of status, the one who can win the battle in the army is the master!

What? Some people say that using patrol cranes to beat protected cruisers is completely technical suppression. Well, let's not talk about the critical moment, Ruprecht tried his best to turn the tide and stabilize the situation. Purely from the perspective of the so-called famous generals in history, most of them also won under favorable circumstances. Betty is famous, right? The British have an absolute advantage in the Battle of the Sandbar, right? It is an absolute advantage when using BC to hoist light cruisers in the German offshore! During the Battle of Jutland, it was also true that the wrong signal was used to trap teammates, right? But everyone thinks that Betty is a famous general.......

From the perspective of purely comparing Betty, Ruprecht is already very interesting. Betty made the same mistake twice in two wars. (wrong signal) Two deputies are affected. Not only did Ruprecht not cheat his teammates, but he also saved them! Based on this point and the current environment, it is not too much to be called a famous general, right?

"In fact, the Zhiyuan-class cruisers are still usable. Zhiyuan and Jingyuan are relatively fast, and they can barely form a formation with the Mainz-class armored cruisers. Moreover, the Zhiyuan-class is also a new type of cruiser that uses sidestring artillery. If they cooperate, there will be a difference in speed. advantage. These three warships will act as a guerrilla fleet, maneuvering!"

"And the other warships such as Dingyuan and Zhenyuan will follow the original plan. Two warships will form a formation and go straight to the opponent's formation. The battle will lead to chaos. Most of the Japanese warships are new cruisers with side strings to exert firepower, but the speed is higher. The difference between them will divide them into two fleets, fast and slow. The key to victory is who can eat the opponent's slow fleet faster!" Yang Yonglin thought for a while and said.

"Fuck! It's amazing!" Ruprecht even wondered if there was a traverser here in Beiyang! They are too familiar with Japanese tactics! And it really hits the nail on the head!

"Actually, when your side was at war with the Japanese fleet, the Japanese had already exposed their tactics. The fast fleet and the slow fleet were divided into groups. Although there were only three warships, Yoshino, who obviously had an advantage in speed, acted alone, while the other two warships Formation action. The tactics of the Japanese main fleet are just an enlarged version. But now I seem to know that once the war starts, Japan will use those warships to make up for the loss of the fast fleet!" Yang Yonglin said with a smile.

"You don't have to worry about this. It must be a more powerful battleship than Akitsu Prefecture and Naniwa! The Japanese have seen the strength of Mainz, so they will definitely add powerful warships! They may even buy them directly from the British Far East Fleet! War will come soon," said the prince.

"The main force of the fleets of both sides are slow warships, once they are dragged, they can't run away at all.

The fast fleet headed by Mainz should block the opponent and cooperate with the main fleet to eat the slow Japanese warships. The four German warships will be the main force of the assault, while the remaining wooden cruisers will be responsible for the cover. In a real fight, I think it would be good if the super brave Yangwei can last half an hour under the opponent's firepower! "Yang Yonglin's words revealed a deep worry! Except for the three 7,000-ton warships of the Beiyang Fleet, the gap between the other warships and their opponents is too great!

"I am not optimistic about the decisive battle capability of the Beiyang fleet. Your navy's combat effectiveness is here. And Japan still has 6 protected cruisers (Sanjing Ship, Yoshino, Takachiho, Takao) 1 armored cruiser (Chiyoda) 1 old-fashioned ironclad ship 1 (Fuso) 3 old-fashioned cruisers (Chikushi, Kongo, Hiei) and 13 gunboats! The performance of many of these battleships is no less than that of super brave!" Ruprecht said bluntly.

In history, the Beiyang Fleet went all out in the Dadonggou naval battle, while the Japanese fleet went all out. The gap between them is huge. A large number of unprotected cruisers of the Japanese did not participate in the battle! Nine of the 13 unprotected cruisers have a displacement of more than 1,000 tons. Although they cannot be compared with new ships, the number is sufficient after all. take it! After all, Mainz's performance was too scary!

If both sides are doing their best, Ruprecht is still not optimistic about the outcome of this battle! Yang Yonglin's prediction of the battle between the main forces of the two fleets is already in place. What will happen in the end can only be seen on the spot. What Ruprecht is concerned about is what will happen to the Beiyang Fleet after the battle? Or what will happen to the armored cruiser Mainz!

Ruprecht can guess part of the result of this battle with his knees. Beiyang's performance is definitely better than history, but after the battle, except for Mainz, is the remaining combat power of the Beiyang Fleet really better than that of the Beiyang fleet? It's hard to say how good it is in history!

Zhiyuan and Jingyuan are covered by Mainz, and they are relatively fast, so they may be spared. The two warships Dingzhen are relatively resistant, and they may survive. As for the remaining warships? Then it can only be described as life and death depend on fate! The Chaoyongyangwei and Guangzi battleships belong to the battleships that can stand for half an hour, and die at the sight of light! Unless the luck is very good, Jing Yuan and his like will also die! If Dingzhen is unlucky, he probably won't be able to come back. Dingzhen may not be so afraid of artillery, but he is afraid of torpedoes!

Thanks to book friends zhouyu1976, sk, yr81113, and Fatty for their rewards~~~. The collection is still growing very slowly--! The side position is asking for favorites, recommendations, and clicks again!

According to Ruprecht's estimation, after this battle is over, the Beiyang Fleet will be destroyed!
