Chapter 1093 Hipper's Emergency Call
The prince is really worried. If Major General Hall does not mention the maritime transport line, the prince may be hesitant about whether to immediately launch an offensive against Romania under severe consumption. However, the North Sea transport line was hit, the British Royal When the navy is gradually recovering, any resources are very important, let alone Romania as the Balkan bread basket and the largest oil field in Western Europe! Therefore, even if the loss is greater, even if the troops are weaker, the battle should be fought or fought! And the prince decided to leave the matter to his uncle.
On the one hand, the level of Prince Leopold is of course enough to get the German Iron Cross. Can he be the main commander of the Eastern Front? What's more, it is the weak chickens in the Balkan countries. I have enough aircraft, artillery and tanks on my side, how could I lose?
On the other hand, it can be regarded as a reward to his uncle. To be honest, the prince is definitely a bit sorry for his uncle. When he is farming, his uncle helps him clear the way. If his father supports him in industry and politics Then, the prince’s greatest support from the military was his uncle. In order to carry out the prince’s plan, Prince Leopold made some constructive suggestions while also resisting pressure from all quarters.
After the war, the prince’s battle here is infinite, while Prince Leopold took some dirty work. The battle of the border, the prince commanded the most elite army against the Russians, and Prince Leopold Blocked the Russian attack in Bohemia and cooperated with them. When he arrived on the western front to deal with the French, the prince was watching the house on the east. In this battle, he and Mackensen were all in the limelight, while the prince brought only the third Bavarian division to the side to provide cover.
Although everyone is a family and does not speak two things, the prince believes that the glory of killing Romania should be left to his uncle, which is considered a reward for him, and to be honest, the prince believes that this reward is far from enough! And since the prince has decided, then according to the previous Bavarian Legion’s practice, the staff has no right to dismiss it, not just the authority, but the absolute authority formed by long-term victory!
"His Royal Highness, General Schmidt asks to see you." The attendant bowed and said.
"Then let him in, shouldn't he be on duty at this time?" The prince whispered.
"His Royal Highness, this is an urgent call from Lieutenant-General Hipper. It was just forwarded from Munich. Please have a look." Lieutenant General Schmidt was not polite when he came in.
"Grass, what's the situation? Hipper sent the telegram to Munich, and then from Munich to here? What international joke?" The prince was surprised and felt that things were very abnormal. It must be unusual for Hipper to spend so much money on telegrams and even find himself at the risk of arrogance!
"Call me the liaison personnel of the Admiralty immediately. In addition, let the communications department prepare. The telephone and telegrams between us and the Admiralty, Kiel Port and Kaiser Wilhelm Port must be kept open. In addition, first send a letter to Wilhelmshaven. Telegram, ask Hipper to guard the phone for me. After I finish reading it, I will contact him immediately. And Tirpitz, also inform." The prince was also unambiguous, and ordered immediately. In fact, although the prince has temporarily given up the command of the High Seas Fleet, the Kaiser’s orders are still valid. Large-scale operations must be approved by the prince. Some unusual matters need to be reported to the prince, and there is also the Minister of the Navy Tyre. Pitts is directly responsible. It stands to reason that Hipper could not skip the Admiralty and contact the prince directly.
However, since the prince came back from Vienna, the Admiralty has not sent important telegrams to the prince, but now, as the front-line Lieutenant Admiral Hipper suddenly sent the telegram to Munich and then forwarded it to the prince, there must be a major event in it, the prince believes , With Hipper's as a person and courage, should not play their own. Therefore, in order to deal with something unclear, the prince needs to establish contact with the Admiralty.
"His Royal Highness, it is now 11:30 in the evening." Major General Hall reminded.
"I haven't rested yet. Why does Tirpitz take a rest? Give it to me immediately! Even if it's okay, Tirpitz won't sleep tonight!" The prince said unambiguously. Then he opened the telegram.
"His Royal Highness, I hope you can immediately call the Admiralty to allow my fast fleet to leave the port for mission." Seeing the first sentence, the prince felt his brain buzz. The first reaction is Hipper, are you crazy? Lao Tzu has no rights anymore. Even Tirpitz and Admiral Boll, who are now in power, can't say that they will send out a main fleet. This requires the permission of the Kaiser.
Afterwards, the prince continued to browse the content below, and finally knew the probable reason. Three days ago, the battlecruiser Blücher and the battlecruiser Moch of the German fast fleet went to the North Sea blockade as planned to perform operations. The mission, after the Betty fleet was hit hard, the large fleet contracted in the Gulf of Forth in the middle of England. The entire North Sea blockade was in name only. So the German battlecruisers could beat me but they could not run past me. But my principle. (It seems that the British fleet should not be able to catch up with Mochi now It is very comfortable in the North Sea blockade.
But this time, there seemed to be some accidents. Since the last telegram from the two warships the day before yesterday, Hipper never received any news from the two warships! And not only that, the radio signal station in Kaiser Wilhelm Port suddenly received strong radio interference clutter! Although it will not interfere with normal communication, it makes Hipper feel very disturbed. According to the estimation of the technicians, the signal source should be near the Shetland Islands, and if there is a German fleet, then his radio signal Will be difficult to send to Wilhelmshaven!
"This is a proper conspiracy!" The prince finally knew the outline of the matter. The Royal Navy seems to have taken action! In fact, look at the time. It has been four months since the last Thunder-Surbrus operation. The four queens of the Thomas Fleet have returned and completed repairs and maintenance. During this period, the new queen also entered the water to serve. After the fast fleet was restored, it was normal for the British Navy to take action. It seems that the British have already started, but the senior officials of the German Admiralty are still fainted! Not only the high-level staff like Tirpitz, but even Hipper was somewhat careless.
