Chapter 808: Thinking From the Enemy’s Perspective

This is almost the best option that the British can choose, or it is also the only situation that the prince needs to worry about. The prince is not worried about 3 or 4 battle cruisers going to the Indian Ocean. The British cannot let all four of Betty's super-dreadnoughts pass by. , because this is the only existence in the British fleet that can compete with the Hipper fleet. Without this fleet, as long as Hipper is not particularly unlucky, for example, he can directly compete with the British fleet in the fog, then basically The British can do whatever they want, so in order to ensure the most basic deterrence, the British fleet will not leave the North Sea.

Okay, what if it’s a mix of the Lion Tigers and the Invincibles? Then there is no need to worry! The speed of the Invincible Current was only 25 knots when it was first launched. After so many years of expedition to the Indian Ocean, the ship's condition must be terrible. Su Xiong's Scharnhorst and Gneisenau are not the Falkland Islands in history. The level of the Spey fleet in the battle! It would be too easy for two fast battleship-level super-dreadnoughts to defeat the British's crispy battle cruisers. I don't know if 2 versus 4 would work, but 2 versus 3 would be a sure bet! Under the 350mm heavy artillery, whether it is a lion, tiger or invincible, it can actually be easily stabbed to death. If the British did this, the prince would definitely give the person who gave the order an extra-large medal! Of course, the British are definitely not stupid. The Su Xiong fleet killed the Japanese quasi-fearless in the Battle of the Gulf of Aden. Although it was a quasi-fearless, its defense level was definitely better than that of lions and tigers. Imagine Satsuma's As a result, looking at the defense of the Lion and Tiger, as long as the British Admiralty is not a fool, then they will not use pure-blooded battle cruisers to deal with the battleships in Su Xiong's hands, even if they have a speed advantage. After all, if light can run, it will not work. If you can't beat it, what's the point of it? Therefore, the most likely and correct choice for the British is to dispatch the Queen Elizabeth-class battleship. This can be said to be the best choice out of desperation, because the British failed to suppress Shane in terms of speed, offense and defense. The existence of the Horst-class fast battleship! The Lion cannot be defeated, the Invincible cannot be defeated nor can it be outrun, so the Queen can at least be defeated, and may be able to outrun it, because the Queen is a new ship and is well maintained, and the German warships are also limited by their endurance... .... And because the Queen is powerful enough, you can just send three warships. If you were Princess Lion and Tiger, these three warships competed with Su Xiong, it would be hard to say who would win and who would lose! So, the best choice for the British and the most difficult choice for Su Xiong is to send 3 to 4 Queen-class battleships to the Indian Ocean to cause trouble for Su Xiong, but it doesn't matter, this trouble belongs to Su Xiong, and for Germany itself , is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Betty’s biggest support and biggest footnote is gone! That's right, Betty's biggest reliance is not the Grand Fleet, but these queens! Looking at the speed of action and preparation process of the Grand Fleet, and looking at the tragic situation in the Battle of Jutland in which Betty was defeated by two ships within a few dozen minutes, the prince has every reason to believe that the Grand Fleet has not yet seen the Hipper fleet. , Betty has probably been blamed for it... Without Thomas and his queen, Betty's fast fleet is just a paper tiger! Excluding the battlecruiser detachment that Jericho’s Grand Fleet must leave behind, what will be the result of Betty’s 5 or 6 battlecruisers against Hipper’s 5 pure-blooded battlecruisers? Jutland has told you so! What's more, the Hipper fleet in this plane is even more ferocious! There is no problem at all in defeating the Hipper fleet in history. If Betty does not run away, there is only one question: How long did it take for the opponent to die... Of course, you have to ask what Su Xiong should do when facing the British fleet? There is only one way, run! Su Xiong's two fast battleships really want to go head-to-head with the three to four queens! Historically, the Queen had problems with overloading and not meeting the speed limit.

Although the queen's statistics in this plane are the same as in history, it is unclear whether these problems still exist. If the queen's speed can reach the standard and the armor belt is not compromised, the result will not be optimistic at first.

"But even so, it is still dangerous for General Hipper to go to the northern blockade. The Grand Fleet is as scary as the three-headed dog guarding the gate of hell. It is very dangerous for the High Seas Fleet to rush out." Tirpitz glanced at the Kaiser, who did not express his position, which meant that so far, the Kaiser did not fully agree with the prince's plan, so Tirpitz still wanted to struggle. "What you said makes sense. If we want to launch a long-distance operation, then we must let the large fleet leave its original position. Well, let's talk about the problem, how to make the large fleet leave its original position!" Prince He said calmly. "Although the plan you proposed before has strategic problems, it can still be considered in terms of tactics. For example, it is feasible to enter the British offshore waters, carry out mines or attack ports. Of course, this is just a feint. Your purpose is to mobilize the British." "The British cannot ignore the activities of the High Seas Fleet in the British coast, so the first one to bear the brunt is the Betty fleet, and then Jericho's large fleet! However, between the two fleets There is a vacancy. Betty's fleet is stationed at Rosyth, north of the Firth of Forth in central Scotland, while the Grand Fleet is at the northern end of England. Well, now it's time for the British to choose. What will they do? Everyone can stand Think about it from a British perspective," the prince posed the question. "If our main fleet appears in the British coast, the Betty fleet will definitely dispatch. But didn't you just say that the Hipper fleet will go to the northern blockade?" Admiral Bohr said. "The Hipper fleet is waiting for an opportunity to head to the northern blockade, so the main force of the German High Seas Fleet is squatting in the port fishing?" the prince asked rhetorically. "But..." Tirpitz originally wanted to say that he did not have the Kaiser's authorization, but after seeing the prohibitive gesture made by the Kaiser, he decided not to say it yet. "Think about it, General Bohr now has five Bavaria-class fast battleships (and one has been outfitted and ready for service), three Helgeland-class fast battleships, three Dreadnought fast battleships and one The USS Nassau. Even if the USS Nassau is excluded due to speed issues, the remaining 11 battleships in your hand all have speeds of more than 24 knots, and their firepower and defense are enough to defeat Betty's fleet, but you are now letting these battleships Sitting idle in the port! What kind of behavior is this? This is a crime!" the prince said angrily. "Ruprecht, if you can ensure the safety of this fleet, I can issue an authorized order. What we lack now is a plan." The Kaiser finally spoke, and he admitted that he was the one who asked the fleet to A more conservative order, but at the same time, it also says that if the plan is feasible, action can be taken!
