"Furthermore, because our queue is too long and the opponent's queue is relatively short. Taking into account the factors of route and distance, in fact, some of the warships at the edge of the queue have very poor shooting boundaries, and their firepower performance is even affected. In the battle, after such a large-scale fleet fired for a period of time, there would be a ceasefire for a period of time, because the gun smoke from the artillery was too thick and directly obstructed our vision."
"As for Mr. Churchill's analogy of eggs with hammers? All I can say is that our warships can be considered as hammers after changing shells, but the warships themselves are still at the egg level. And the elite German battleships Whether it is speed, defense or firepower, it is quite good. From the beginning of the war to the present, we have only sunk one German battleship. This is enough to prove that the German battleship's powerful combat effectiveness is beyond ordinary people's imagination."
"According to the previous tactics of the German High Seas Fleet, they used more mobility and tactics to obtain a better engagement posture, and then obtained some warring states through a fierce attack before the large fleet was fully deployed, and then withdrew. Repeat this repeatedly. A process. It slowly drags us down like a pack of wolves."
"If it is a decisive battle, the Germans will definitely bring slow capital ships, which may delay their speed, but if the Germans decide to use these battleships as bait, then the situation is even worse, because it means that the Germans will take us In a decisive battle, I don't know what secret weapon or confidence the Germans will have, but once they decide to do so, they will definitely rely on it." Jericho said.
"There is no shelter at sea, and it is difficult to hide anything except submarines. Doesn't the Great Fleet have a new battleship called an aircraft carrier? Is the aircraft above enough to disperse the fog in the battlefield?" Prince Mountbatten said.
"This is an advantage. At least for the time being, there is no intelligence that the Germans are equipped with such warships. But there are also seaplanes on the German capital ships, and there are also single-use planes with the landing gear removed (take off directly through the ejection slide). They will affect our investigation efficiency." Jericho said.
"In short, if I were to come to a conclusion, starting from the interests of the empire, I really don’t want to see a life-and-death battle between the Great Fleet and the High Seas Fleet. We have a better chance of winning, but it will definitely not be as big as you think. Even if we win, the British Empire’s navy will become a second-rate navy because we have lost too many warships and personnel. And looking at the current situation in the empire, I’m not optimistic that we will have the same one in the future. Huge fleet," Jericho concluded.
"Well, another question. In terms of Ruprecht's character, how likely is it that he will let the High Seas Fleet execute a decisive battle with a low chance of winning? Or put it another way, in his eyes, is he willing to take it? The consequences of the heavy damage or even destruction of the high seas fleet?" Prime Minister Asquith asked.
"Although there are many generals who believe that sacrifice is the cornerstone of victory, they will give up some people's lives when necessary to fight for victory. But our enemy does not quite agree with this approach. Perhaps it is the enemy he faces. Not strong enough, maybe he thinks his command is enough to deal with the situation on the battlefield. In short, from the current point of view, whether it is naval or land warfare, he rarely puts his troops into a mortal situation."
"We have analyzed all the naval battles commanded by Prince Ruprecht. Before the battle broke out, he always used various methods such as suspected soldiers and technical advantages to create a very good state of engagement, and then launched lightning like the most fierce predator. An attack like this, and a lightning exit before the main force of the large fleet reacted. Compared with Earl Spey in the Mediterranean theater and Su Xiong in the Indian Ocean, Crown Prince Ruprecht suffered the most tactically."
"As for letting the entire High Seas Fleet fight a decisive battle against the Great Fleet in an unfavorable situation? This idea is really crazy. The Germans are already dominant. Do they have to use the precious Great Fleet to compete with us?" Jerry Ke asked.
"If the Germans think that the empire is not enough, they want to persecute the empire?" Belfort said.
"The price is too high. It is true that Germany is a continental country, so its dependence on the navy is not as high as that of the British Empire, but we need to note that Germany is now also a world empire with a large number of colonies, and the navy guarantees its own colony. The cornerstone of security, the North Sea, the Mediterranean, the Atlantic, and the Indian Ocean must have a certain fleet to ensure the safety of an empire."
"More importantly, there will be no war for the British Empire for a long time after the end of the war. The significance of the fleet's existence is more just a shock. But for the Germans, their fleet determines Germany's The status in the eyes of the Americans! The reason why Americans can tolerate Germany becoming bigger is more than half of the reasons. From this point of view, the prince should not want to put such a precious fleet into a game. In the final battle because this is the most important bargaining chip for the Germans to restrain the Americans!"
"If the high seas fleet suffers a huge loss, the number of warships that can be invested in the war against Japan in the future will be very small. This will directly cause dissatisfaction among the Americans, and this dissatisfaction will directly reflect the debt problems and economic support to Germany. After the war, economic issues became the most important issue, and Bavaria gained several times more territory than its native land. In this case, if the funds were not enough, then it would be a disaster. Counting the native land, more than 3000 A population of more than 10,000 is enough to bring down this not-so-large kingdom. After all, the post-war reconstruction of the war zone is a very large expenditure." Jericho said.
Most people think that Jericho is a pure soldier. In fact, Jericho has certain insights and abilities in other fields. Otherwise, Jericho would not be the Governor of New Zealand after the end of the First World War in history. This time, Jericho analyzed the economic aspects of the post-war period and the tactics of Ruprecht before and concluded that Ruprecht is unlikely to force a decisive battle in a disadvantaged situation.
"Your answer reassured me a bit, so can we understand that the German navy will not be dispatched on a large scale at the end of the war?" asked Belfort. "After all, they have to keep enough troops to deal with other possible emergencies and to help the Americans deal with the Japanese."
