Chapter 1747： Pressure

"Fuck! What does this mean?!" Not only Scheer, but even Tirpitz could not think of it. At this time, Ludendorff would say such a thing? Is this a threat? Is this what you meant, or was it instructed by the Kaiser? In just a few words, there is too much content and information! And after a brief astonishment, Scheer felt the deep hostility from the opposite side!

"You don't have the right to decide." Scheer said coldly. "Furthermore, you will have very serious consequences if you do this."

"This is the need of war. When your fleet is spending a peaceful and peaceful day in the harbor or on the battleship, our soldiers on the Western Front are braving gunfire and Britain on the muddy Western Front, which is full of mines and barbed wire. On the Eastern Front, the officers and soldiers of the Mackensen Army rushed to the Russian cities and fortresses for the future of the empire in waist-deep snow. Compared with them, the navy consumed a lot of materials. But there was no result, we just made the use of materials more efficient!" Ludendorff said.

"Get out!" Scheer scolded in his heart. "In the British coastal waters, in the North Atlantic, and in the Indian Ocean, the navy's submarine force has not been fighting the British fleet in countless moments! Our personnel cannot meet the extremely expanded size of the submarine force. Many personnel are from They are drawn from the main fleet! They need to squeeze in a small space for months, eat diesel-flavored cans, endure the high temperature of the diesel engine room up to 40 degrees or more, and the low temperature of the torpedo cabin. Mistakes and damages will cause the entire submarine to become an iron coffin! The loneliness, harsh environment, and the British torpedoes and bombs failed to make them succumb, and you actually want to cut their treatment!" His words were full of anger.

As in history, the expansion of the German submarine force did allow many experienced officers and soldiers to be "temporarily transferred" to the submarine force. This is another reason why the High Seas Fleet cannot attack. In fact, the life of submarines back then was really terrible, and Scheer knew it well.

In history, Scheer inspected a submarine before the war, and had lunch with the submarine officers and soldiers on the submarine. Even though the fried eggs had a strong diesel smell, Scheer still ate them all, and in this inspection After that, Scheer suggested to improve the welfare of the submarine force and to distribute additional clothing to each submarine crew each year.

As for other parts of the Navy? Technical personnel, such as artillery and radio personnel, should be paid high. After all, they are technical arms. As for those who engage in physical strength, such as firemen, they have worked hard, and the workload and working environment are also numbered. And now, Ludendorff says he wants to cut naval pay, can Scheer not be angry?

There is also a hidden supply problem, that is, the troops on the front line can "get food from the enemy." The Germans on the western front can fight the autumn wind of Belgium, and the troops on the eastern front can **** the Russians. The army in Asia Minor has a higher standard of living and is provided by Turks. Take the prince’s troops in Ukraine as an example. Not only is there no need to transport food from outside, but it is also possible to transport it abroad... After all, other places in Russia are short of food, but Ukraine will never be short of food. But what about the Navy? You can't organize a sea fishing team yourself and let the fleet members eat sea fishing all day, right? And the so-called treatment is not just about meals, there are other problems, such as the supplies assigned to the families of naval officers and soldiers. Another example is salary or some products that are in short supply.

"This is not what we are discussing today, Ludendorff. When I met with the Kaiser, I did not talk about reducing naval rations at all. This time, I will bring relevant navy personnel to meet with Kaiser." At that time, Tirpitz also sank his face and said to Ludendorff. Even though the Navy has some problems, it is his own child after all!

"Admiral Scheer, do you have anything to add to what you said before?" Ludendorff ignored Tirpitz, but turned his gaze to Admiral Scheer.

"The fleet is not suitable for attack under the current circumstances. I still adhere to my previous judgment. Second, I express strong indignation about the reduction of the navy budget and supplies of the fleet! The navy will send a special representative to meet with the Kaiser. Facts." Admiral Scheer said.

"As you wish." Ludendorff nodded, and then said to Tirpitz on the side. "Dear Marshal Tirpitz, you can now prepare candidates for the Admiralty to meet the Kaiser. We will return to Brussels in three days, where you and your subordinates will have the opportunity to meet the Kaiser."

Scheer’s answer was straightforward enough. Ludendorff’s reaction was even more bachelor. The implication is already clear. From Ludendorff’s own perspective, he would never give in. If the High Seas Fleet does not take the initiative to break the blockade. If so, then supplies and benefits will inevitably be reduced! If you have any comments, go directly to the Kaiser!

"We will and we will accuse you of your stupidity and recklessness when we meet the Kaiser!" Admiral Scheer finished speaking and got up to leave, and Tirpitz also gave Ruden a bitter look. Astoria, then left the venue. Ludendorff said it didn't matter. Maybe, before he came up with this method, he had expected this result, right?

And just after this meeting broke up unhappy, Tirpitz and Scheer, Hipper, and Fleet Chief of Staff Major General Trotta had a small meeting to discuss the current situation of the German Navy.

"Sher, to be honest, is the current German High Seas Fleet really not capable of breaking the blockade?" Tirpitz said suspiciously. He still suspects that the High Seas Fleet is unable to fight because of some internal factors. It is not because of strength issues. After all, the High Seas Fleet had previously fought Britain at a disadvantage and achieved a brilliant record. Now, I feel that the gap between the two navies has narrowed.

"Believe me, your Excellency the Marshal, everyone, whether Prussians, Bavarians, Protestants or Catholics in the German High Seas Fleet, we are all fighting for the empire, without any selfishness, no delusions. It's fair to come. In other words, I don’t think I have the ability to command the entire fleet to fight the British, because there are too many other factors added to the current naval battles. For example, aviation power. I didn’t know anything about it before. In terms of troops, the conflict between the Empire and Bavaria has directly led to the estrangement between each other, which has not been there before, and can only be eliminated when Crown Prince Ruprecht returns to the High Seas Fleet.” Admiral Scheer said.
