"Okay, let's start to roughly deduct the whole process now. I am now the commander of the High Seas Fleet. All you are doing are the British Navy. The current situation is that there are 3 Queen-class battleships going to the Indian Ocean to deal with the Suxiong Fleet, then I'm starting to act now." The prince finished speaking and walked to the huge chart hung 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 suppression of cruises by the large fleet. Isn't it difficult?" the prince asked.
"This is not difficult, the large fleet is too big to be hidden." Tirpitz said.
"Well, after a repressive cruise of the Great Fleet, the main force of the High Seas Fleet remaining in the North Sea, 5 Bavarian-class battleships and 3 Helgeland-class fast battleships headed to the British coast for land bombardment and mine-laying operations. What will the British do after receiving this news?" the prince asked.
"Betty's two battlecruiser formations will definitely come." Admiral Ball said.
"It doesn't matter, we are not afraid of them, are we? Even if all the British battlecruisers come over, it is not enough for us to fight, I think you have no doubts." The prince said with a smile.
"But the big fleet will act." Tirpitz said.
"What about the action? They are at the northernmost part of the UK. Even if they receive information and set sail immediately, how long will it take for them to feel the southern part of the UK? It will take a long time for them to come here. If they are not prepared in advance, then wait until they come. At the time, the day lilies were cold."
"So good, even if you take a step back, part of the large fleet will be separated and deployed in the area between Betty and Jericho. The scale will not be very large, maybe 4 to 6 dreadnoughts. But it doesn't matter. , 12 or so British battleships are fighting against our 8 most elite battleships. Even if we can’t fight, it’s okay to run away, right? Fast battleships after the Helgeland class have a speed of 25 knots or more! The British Dreadnoughts simply can’t catch up. , Even the early battlecruisers like Invincible can't catch up!"
"So, your opinion is that no matter how the British choose, in the absence of the Queen-class fast battleship, it will not be too dangerous whether the large fleet will attack, is it?" The Kaiser felt that he had caught something very Important news....
"Yes, that's what it means. As long as we leave the three queens, then the British will have very poor ability to restrict our operations in the southern North Sea." The prince nodded.
"The current situation is obvious. When it is strategically beneficial to the German High Seas Fleet, simple tricks and tricks can be used to deal with the British. If the large fleet does not go south, then the southern British waters will become the back garden of the High Seas Fleet. The Betty fleet has no effect. If it goes south, then the Hipper fleet can go north to clear the blockade. The fast fleet with a maximum average speed of 27 knots! The possibility that the British fleet wants to catch is too small. "
"Even if the British opened up the perspective of God and discovered the actions of the two German fleets at the exits of the southern British and northern North Seas at the same time? Is the Jericho fleet halfway down the road to rescue the Betty fleet or north to deal with the erratic What about the Hipper fleet? For a fleet with a speed of 27 knots, it is almost impossible to track surface warships and submarines!" said the prince.
"Actually, I think it would be better for us to use the Hipper fleet to destroy the Betty fleet. They are faster and have a higher probability of biting the opponent." Tirpitz still holds the plan of how to damage the opponent.
"Actually, if the fleet is too large, it will be detrimental to the British navy. If we only have 6 warships and the British have 7 ships, they will fight 80%. If we send 12 ships, the British only have 7 ships. They can run 80% of the time. Whether they can fight depends on whether the opponent is willing to fight. If the entire high seas fleet appears, the first goal is too big, and second, Betty will definitely choose to evade. If it is only to deal with Betty’s battlecruisers In the presence of 5 Bavarian-class battleships, we already have an absolute advantage. With Hipper, it may scare away the opponent. Instead of this, it is better to let Hipper do something he can do, and other Things that are not convenient for warships." The prince said.
The British are not fools. Although Betty is known for being strong and fierce, the person who can climb to the title of Navy Marshal of the British Empire is definitely an IQ person. If Jutland didn't have the task of luring the enemy and the queens of the Thomas fleet behind him, wouldn't Betty continue to fight after being killed by two battle cruisers? Therefore, the prince thinks that 5 to 8 warships can be dangling off the coast of England. If there are more, it will really scare Betty away. Of course, this is only used when the queen is not present. If the queen is there, get The strengthened Betty is still not afraid, and the prince cannot easily disperse the troops and attack in two ways!
"This plan is too risky, and too hasty." Although the prince thought he had said everything that should be said, Tirpitz was still very worried. Looking at the Kaiser's expression, it seems that he does not agree with it. After all, this plan is easy to say but it is a little difficult to do. If it is the Hipper fleet attacking, then there is still discussion, and if all or most of the high seas fleet is dispatched, it will still cost Talking about it.
It was not easy when Schell persuaded the Kaiser to delegate command. Now, the situation is much better than in history. The Kaiser is naturally unwilling to take the precious fleet to risk. In his opinion, if the ground can be played well, then a complete and powerful high seas fleet is definitely the absolute best to negotiate with the British. Good weight! Therefore, the root of the so-called existence of the fleet is still in the Kaiser.
"If it follows my plan, then the High Seas Fleet will not be at any risk. Trust me, I promise." Ruprecht said.
"This is not a question that can be guaranteed, Ruprecht." Tirpitz stepped back and the Kaiser personally played.
"A reasonable plan and adequate preparation can't be guaranteed? In fact, the battle we launched on land is more dangerous, but we haven't fought yet?" the prince asked rhetorically.
"That's different, Ruprecht."
"Is it because land-power countries are born with a fear of sea power? Looking forward to the ocean, but they are afraid of the challenges brought by the ocean. Because they have the back of land power, they shrink their hands, unlike maritime countries, which dare to fight because they only have oceans. Dare to fight? If the British hold our current thinking, then it is impossible for him to pull Spain from the throne of the maritime hegemon." The prince said with deep dissatisfaction.
