"Although the main force of American Navy has been eliminated by us, they still have a lot of small and medium-sized warships. Once they launch an attack on United States's home city, these small and medium-sized warships of Americans will definitely launch a lightning strike on our fleet." Oscar reminded.
Although American Navy's main force has been killed, this does not mean that American Navy has no power to fight back. If a large number of destroyers are used to launch lightning strikes offshore, it will also be a huge threat to German Navy.
"Yes, Your Majesty. Once we launch an attack on United States's homeland, the time will definitely be during the day. After nightfall, we will evacuate United States's homeland immediately. In order to prevent Americans's lightning strikes, we will specially arrange destroyers and Light Cruiser to be on guard." Reinhard? Admiral Scheer said. They have already made plans for these safety issues.
Oscar nodded. "In addition, you should also pay attention to the submarine of Americans. Especially at night, if the submarine of Americans gets into the fleet, the consequences will be serious."
In the last World War, German submarines sneaked into Scapa Flow, but caused great losses to British Royal Navy. Now that Americans and British is ready to wear a pair of pants, Americans will not be unaware of these battles.
"Yes, Your Majesty. Our latest batch of destroyers have been equipped with the new Sonar, which has greatly improved the reconnaissance capabilities of submarines. If Americans submarines appear, they should be able to be found by our Sonar soldiers." Reinhard? Admiral Scheer said. At least during the exercise, German Navy's new destroyer was very effective against submarines.
"That would be the best." Oscar nodded with satisfaction.
Oscar As a time traveler, he naturally knows about those advanced weapons. Although I don't know exactly how it was developed, I generally know in which direction the research is going. As German Emperor, and Germany has the strongest scientific research strength in the world, as long as Oscar puts forward a goal, countless scientific research teams will naturally work hard in this direction. In this case, there will undoubtedly be many detours to avoid.
Under the requirements of Oscar, the technology of Sonar has matured and can be applied in actual combat. Although it cannot be compared with the Sonar of later generations, don't forget that the submarine technology of this era is still very crude. Submarines are very noisy, and Sonar soldiers can easily capture those submarines.
In addition, Radar technology is also the technology that Oscar requires to focus on development. Now, Germany's scientific research institution has launched public relations on this. However, there is no mature technology yet. But Oscar believes that with the input of Germany's scientific research strength, it should be successful soon. By then, Germany's air defense combat and sea search capabilities will be greatly improved.
"Your Majesty, if we launch an attack on United States's homeland at this time, will this trigger an all-out war between us and United States?" Imperial Prime Minister Bülow asked.
Cabinet's senior officials always don't want to fight. For one thing, fighting a war costs a lot of money. On the other hand, it will also cause many unstable factors. Germany and United States can be said to be the two most powerful countries in the world. If the two countries go to war, it may once again mean the outbreak of World War. The world situation will become more turbulent.
Germany has already gained enough benefits from the last World War. Although, during this period, Germany was still trying its best to digest those war benefits. But it may take a long time to really digest those war benefits. This also makes Cabinet's mainstream view is to maintain peace and focus on self-development. When the country's strength increases, it will naturally have enough power to crush those enemies.
However, Oscar agrees with this view. However, he also advocated doing everything possible to suppress other enemies without affecting the development of the country. After all, Oscar knows that these opponents of Germany are all very difficult opponents. If Germany doesn't try his best in the future, it will be very difficult to defeat them.
"Empire's attack on United States's homeland will naturally make Americans furious and even declare war on us. However, now Americans does not threaten our strength. If war is declared, Imperial Navy can continue to attack United States's homeland. In this case, they will never even think about it. Develop the navy on the side of Atlantic Ocean. In that case, they will be even less likely to threaten Empire. If Americans is wise, it is best to put aside the hatred of the Empire and then challenge Empire again!" Oscar said.
Oscar's intention is very obvious, which is to take advantage of Germany's absolute advantage to attack United States and weaken their strength as much as possible. In this case, Germany's pressure will be greatly reduced in future wars. After all, a country's national power is limited no matter what. If you invest too much in one aspect, other aspects will inevitably be affected.
Just like American Navy, the main force was eliminated by German Navy time and time again. Just to rebuild the navy and make it more powerful will require a lot of financial and material resources. If you invest more in the navy, your investment in other aspects will decrease accordingly. In this case, Germany will take great advantage in future wars.
Chancellor Bülow saw that Oscar had already made up his mind, so he had no choice but to say nothing more. Although Oscar is young, he has been completely deified due to his achievements in leading Germany to defeat World War and leading Germany to become the world's most powerful country. No one will object to his decision, and no one dares to object.
"Everyone, Imperial Navy's goal this time is to eliminate United States's important shipbuilding base located in East Coast, so that United States's shipbuilding capabilities will be greatly destroyed. Half. In this way, Empire can continue to have an advantage in future wars. I hope that the navy can complete this task and complete it at the minimum cost," Oscar said.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Imperial Navy's generals responded excitedly. Since Oscar attaches so much importance to this mission, they have no other choice but to do their best to ensure the success of this mission. Of course, they also believe that Imperial Navy can definitely complete this task.
