Chapter 809: Full Attack

"Okay, let's now roughly deduce the whole process. I am now the Commander of the High Seas Fleet, and all of you are working in the British Navy. The current situation is that three Queen-class battleships are heading to the Indian Ocean to deal with the Su Xiong fleet. Then I will take action now." After the prince finished speaking, he walked to the huge sea chart hanging on the wall. The positions and numbers of the main fleets of both sides are marked above.

"In fact, from now on, the High Seas Fleet can often appear in the British offshore waters. Of course, the premise is to avoid the periodic suppressive cruises of the Grand Fleet. Isn't this difficult?" the prince asked. "This is not difficult. The fleet is so large that it is almost impossible to hide." Tirpitz said. "Well, after the Grand Fleet ended a suppressive cruise, the main force of the High Seas Fleet remaining in the North Sea, 5 Bavaria-class battleships and 3 Helgeland-class fast battleships, headed for the British offshore seas to carry out land bombardment and Laying operations. And what will the British do after receiving the news?" the prince asked. "Betty's two battlecruiser formations will definitely come." Admiral Bohr said. "It doesn't matter, we are not afraid of them, are we? Even if all the British battlecruisers come over, it will not be enough for us to fight. I think you have no doubt." The prince said with a smile. "But the Grand Fleet will act." Tirpitz said. "What about the operation? They are at the northernmost point of the UK. Even if they receive the intelligence and set sail immediately, how long will it take them to feel the southern part of the UK? It will take them quite a long time just to come, if they are not prepared in advance , then by the time we get here, the day lilies will be cold." "That's good, even if we take a step back, part of the grand fleet will be separated and deployed in the area between Betty and Jericho. This scale It won't be very big, maybe 4 to 6 dreadnoughts. But it doesn't matter. There are about 12 British battleships against our 8 most elite battleships. Even if we can't defeat them, it's okay to run away, right? After the Helgeland class The speed of the fast battleship is more than 25 knots! The British dreadnoughts can't catch up at all, and even early battlecruisers like Invincible can't catch up!" "So, your opinion is that regardless of whether the British How does one choose? In the absence of the Queen-class fast battleship, there will not be much danger whether the Grand Fleet attacks or not, right?" The Kaiser felt that he had caught some very important news... "Yes, that's what it means. As long as we leave the three queens, the British will have very poor ability to restrict our actions in the southern North Sea." The prince nodded. "The current situation is very obvious. When the strategy is favorable to the German High Seas Fleet, simple tactics can deal with the British. If the large fleet does not go south, then the waters south of the United Kingdom will become the High Seas Fleet. In the back garden, Betty's fleet has no effect at all. If it goes south, then Hipper's fleet can go north to clean up the blockade. A fast fleet with a maximum average speed of 27 knots! The possibility of the British Grand Fleet trying to catch it Too small." "What if the British opened God's perspective and discovered the actions of the two German fleets at the exit of southern Britain and the northern North Sea? Is the Jericho fleet halfway south going south for rescue? Where is the Betty fleet, or should it go north to deal with the erratic Hipper fleet? With a fleet at 27 knots, it is almost impossible to track it with surface warships and submarines!" said the prince. "Actually, I think it would be better if we let the Hipper fleet be used to destroy the Betty fleet. They are faster and have a higher probability of biting the opponent." Tirpitz still thought about how to inflict heavy damage. opponent's plan.

"Actually, if the fleet is too large, it will not be conducive to weakening the British Navy. If we only have 6 warships and the British have 7, they will probably fight. If we send 12 warships, the British will If there are only 7 ships, they will probably run away. Whether they can fight depends on whether the other party is willing to fight. If the entire High Seas Fleet appears, firstly, the target will be too big. Secondly, Betty will definitely choose to evade. If it is just to deal with Betty. As for battlecruisers, with the presence of five Bavaria-class battleships, we already have an absolute advantage. With Hipper, we may scare away our opponents. Instead of doing this, it is better to let Hipper do something he can do , which is something that other warships are not very convenient to do," the prince said. The British are not fools. Although Betty is famous for being competitive, a person who can climb to the title of marshal of the British Empire is definitely a person with an above-the-line IQ. If Jutland didn't have the task of luring the enemy and the queens of the Thomas fleet behind them, and Betty continued to attack after being knocked out of two battle cruisers in seconds, wouldn't she be seeking death? Therefore, the prince believes that 5 to 8 warships are enough to hang around the British coast. If there are more, Betty will be really scared away. Of course, this is only used when the queen is not here. If the queen is here, get The strengthened Betty is not afraid, and the prince cannot easily spread his troops to attack in two directions! "This plan is too risky and too hasty." Although the prince thought he had said everything he needed to say, Tirpitz was still very uneasy. Looking at the Kaiser's expression, he didn't seem to agree so much. After all, this plan is easy to say, but a little difficult to implement. If the Hipper fleet is simply to attack, then there will still be discussions. But if all or most of the High Seas Fleet is to attack, it will still take a lot of effort. It was not easy for Scheer to convince the Kaiser to delegate command power. Now, the situation is far better than in history. The Kaiser is naturally unwilling to risk his precious fleet. In his opinion, if the ground can be fought well, then a complete and powerful High Seas Fleet is absolutely the best way to negotiate with the British. What a weight! Therefore, the so-called root of the existence of the fleet still lies in the Kaiser. "If my plan is followed, there will be no risk to the High Seas Fleet. Believe me, I guarantee it." Ruprecht said. "This is not a question that anyone can guarantee, Ruprecht." Tirpitz retreated, and the Kaiser came in person. "Why can't we guarantee reasonable plans and adequate preparations? In fact, the battle we launch on land is more dangerous, but are we still fighting?" the prince asked rhetorically. "That's different, Ruprecht.""Is it because land-power countries are naturally afraid of sea power? They look forward to the ocean, but are afraid of the challenges brought by the ocean, because they have land power. So they are cowardly, unlike maritime countries, who dare to fight because they only have the ocean? If the British hold our current thoughts, then it is impossible for him to pull Spain off the throne of maritime hegemony. Yes." The prince's words were full of dissatisfaction.
