Chapter 186 Not Enough Time
Although Qin Ge said so, he was not in a hurry to teach the night battle. So the next day, he continued to act as a referee as before.
Perhaps because the first day's competition gave some commanders some inspiration, the second day's competition was more intense than the first day. In addition, some of the various tactics also made Qin Ge very interesting.
Although these tactics still have various weaknesses, and some of them basically expose their weakest points, these tactics with many loopholes also gave Qin Ge many clues, so he became more and more interested in being a referee.
This afternoon, Wang Yueqin, a member of Qin Ge's Xinghai Fleet, also started the competition. Her opponent was a sophomore.
I don’t know if it was good luck or some other reason, but the second-year commander that Wang Yueqin, who owned two light cruisers, met had an aircraft carrier and a destroyer under her command.
So on the battlefield, Wang Yueqin's Atlanta and Phoenix were seen flexibly dodging the torpedoes fired by the opponent's destroyers, while at the same time fully utilising their anti-aircraft firepower to shoot down all the carrier-based aircraft launched from the opponent's aircraft carrier.
Then Atlanta and Phoenix, relying on steady and cautious attacks, directly sank the two opposing ship girls.
Qin Ge also smiled when he saw this scene. After all, they often held joint exercises together, and Wang Yueqin's Atlanta was basically the air defense firepower guarantee for the rest of their fleet.
After all, the Atlanta class was a very famous anti-aircraft cruiser of the White Eagle camp during World War II. It was also a first-class battleship with outstanding military achievements in the White Eagle Navy. Among them, the Santiago of this class was the light cruiser with the most honors in the entire World War II, and even among all the battleships, it ranked second only to Enterprise.
So this time when the opponent has an aircraft carrier, the opponent is really unlucky. Because Atlanta's own damage output is not too high, but her air defense is really strong.
In addition, Phoenix is also a very powerful anti-aircraft ship girl, so the opposing aircraft carrier basically lost its combat effectiveness. Two light cruisers against a destroyer are naturally no pressure.
However, because of this, the battle ended relatively early today. Since 11 battles had already been fought yesterday, only 8 battles were needed today to complete the first round of the exercise league.
After the exercise league ended, Qin Ge did not immediately take the ship girl back to his guesthouse . Because it ended early today, he brought his ship girl to the Prince of Wales.
The Prince of Wales was quite surprised by Qin Ge's arrival. "Qin Ge, why didn't you go back to rest after the game? What do you want to see me for?"
"I have something I want to ask the dean." Qin Ge said to Wales.
"What's the matter? Tell me." Prince of Wales smiled at Qin Ge.
"Regarding the night battle, I wonder what the dean thinks?" Qin Ge asked the Prince of Wales.
Hearing Qin Ge's question, Prince of Wales immediately understood, so she smiled and said to Qin Ge, "Do you feel that those commanders and some of the ship girls have very poor experience in night battles? So you are worried about the battles they will encounter at night in the future?"
"Huh? Does the dean know about this situation?" Qin Ge looked at the Prince of Wales with some surprise.
"Don't forget that I am the head of a college in this school. How could I not understand this situation? After all, I have been in this college much longer than you." Prince of Wales said to Qin Ge with a smile.
"But since the dean knows this, why not arrange a course on night combat? After all, the Sirens' attacks may not only occur during the day, but also at night. We can't just attack during the day and hide in the port area at night, right?" Qin Ge asked the Prince of Wales in confusion.
The Prince of Wales shook his head and said, "Qin Ge, you are a special case, so I am not surprised that you asked this question, but I want to tell you because we don't have time.
You once told me that it takes four years or more to train a real naval commander in your country, but do you know why it only takes two years to train a naval commander here? "
"No time?" Qin Ge asked doubtfully.
The Prince of Wales nodded. "That's right, we don't have time. Perhaps the purpose of the Commander Academy is to provide a simple temporary training to guide the commanders on how to fight, so that they can go from being someone who doesn't understand war to someone who understands war.
In these two years, they only have one year to learn the basics, and the other year to adapt to the battlefield. This is why in the second year, they can take on missions to familiarize themselves with the battlefield environment.
In fact, night combat is very easy to understand. Although it is slightly different from daytime combat, the basic combat theory still follows the theory of naval combat. The only difference is the issue of vision.
Therefore, battles like this can only be fully mastered through long-term experience. So when considering whether to increase night combat training, we collectively agreed to omit this item, so that more time can be squeezed out for commanders to learn more comprehensive naval combat knowledge.
We then discussed with the Navy Department and the Maritime Administration to add some night missions. Such missions can help them understand night combat and accumulate knowledge related to night combat. "
The words of the Prince of Wales made Qin Ge suddenly realize that he had always looked at these commanders from his own perspective, but he forgot that these commanders had a different systematic education from him.
Before becoming real commanders, these commanders were just merchants, fishermen or people engaged in other industries. To make these people who have never understood war understand war, the only way is to give them cramming education and education that focuses on the key points.
Obviously, the Prince of Wales and his friends chose to focus on the key points of education, which is why the current situation has occurred. After all, only by sending new commanders to the front line and coastal cities every two years can the consumption of old commanders be maintained, which is almost an unsolvable process.
"But I'm very pleased that you can see this. If you are interested, you can write a manual on night combat for them based on the night combat knowledge you have learned . I believe this is better than anything else." Prince of Wales said to Qin Ge with a smile between his brows.
When Qin Ge was about to agree, he suddenly felt something was wrong, so he looked up at the Prince of Wales, "So, why did you ask me to write a book again?"
At this time, the ship girl behind Qin Ge laughed out loud...
