Chapter 2010： Wrong judgment

(Page 1/1)

"No, I'm just saying that the German High Seas Fleet is unlikely to be involved in a decisive battle in a disadvantaged situation, but as long as there is a chance, they will also be dispatched to gain the advantage through some tactical victories. And now the Navy For the Germans, the ability to respond to such mobile warfare is very weak. More than 70% of the shore-based aircraft originally assigned to us have been transferred. Now, on the long coastline of the British Empire, the total number of navy aircraft does not exceed 700. Among them. The number of aircraft that can provide long-range support and provide naval firepower has dropped to less than 100. I estimate that our number of aircraft is not even as good as the German high seas fleet on the opposite side."

"We don't even dare to patrol the German side of the North Sea, because the large fleet can't beat the German High Seas Fleet and its associated land-based aviation." Jericho complained again.

"Let’s talk about this issue later. Now the empire is in a difficult period. We can’t even guarantee the safety of the sky in London. On the other side, more than 1.5 million British troops are fighting the Germans in criss-cross trenches. Our air force must For the service of more than seven-figure British Expeditionary Force officers and soldiers. So, I can only say sorry." Asquith Prime Minister said to Jericho.

"So, can we think that what Crown Prince Ruprecht said to let the High Seas Fleet fight to the death is more of a threat. The Germans are most likely to choose a limited attack?" Balfour asked.

"I agree with this point of view." Prince Mountbatten nodded and said.

"So it seems that our situation is not very bad. It seems that the recent peace talks can be slowed down." A rare smile appeared on Asquith's face.

"Fuck! What's the situation?" The other three people present were shocked. The German bomber had just bombed London before and the Germans were unprecedentedly tough during the negotiations. When the German offensive was about to break out, his boss Actually said that it can be slowed down?

"According to the telegram sent by Marshal Haig, the main air force of the Bavarian Army has been transferred from the northern coastal areas to the center and southern lines of the French defense. The Bavarian armored units that have been deployed in Belgium have also entered the front line, but they have also It is not aimed at us, but at the French. Judging from the current troop mobilization, the German's hammer is going to be aimed at our allies, not us!" Prime Minister Asquith said.

"This is really surprising," said Belfort. "It seems that the Germans still trust their army. They chose the French for the break."

"Is this the German's suspicion?" Jericho asked.

"Probably not. The Germans did deploy heavy troops on the northern line, but these troops may be able to break through our shallow and deep positions, but it is impossible to form a penetration. In this regard, Marshal Haig made a very detailed description. According to analysis, the army is different from the navy. His mobility is actually very limited. The real reliable in land warfare is still a large number of long-range artillery and tanks. However, to play the role of these weapons, the Germans must reserve hundreds of thousands of tons of materials and ammunition. And such a huge project cannot be completely hidden. According to reconnaissance intelligence, Marshal Haig's inference is that the Germans may launch some diversionary attacks on the northern front, but the main direction of attack will not be us." Prime Minister Asquith Said.

"What if the French can't stop them and make peace with the Germans?" Belfort asked.

"Then it's time to end the war, so this time, we have to help the French as much as possible. Not to mention completely blocking the opponent, but let the Germans shed enough blood." Asquith said.

"What then?" Belfort said, "According to the character of the prince, if he is not paid enough, he will not stop."

"Then let the French give it to the French. The things that are not available on the battlefield cannot be obtained from the negotiating table. Now that the French have been hit hard, let the French pay the Germans. The British Empire has done its best. The duty of an ally is worthy of the French. And the British Empire has also escaped from this catastrophe!" Asquith said proudly, although this is a bit like a dead fellow, but for For the political elite of the British Empire, this result is undoubtedly the best!

With Ruprecht’s misleading and British brains, the British misjudged the situation for the last time. In fact, from common sense, there is no problem with the British inference, and a very rigorous logical chain has been formed. Bavaria took the initiative to direct the air force and army forces at France, which has greatly reduced the vigilance of the British. The reason is the same as Marshal Haig’s report to Prime Minister Asquith claimed that the army’s large-scale offensive is impossible. Concealed, and once this situation is formed, it will be very difficult to change, so when the main force of the German army is aimed at the French, the British expeditionary force is naturally safe. In fact, what the British did not expect was that Ruprecht based his hope of severely hitting the British army on the fact that the French took the initiative to release the water if the French opened an opening next to the British front. , Then naturally there is no need for so many troops and equipment!

The British are not stupid. They know that there are so many choices for Germans. In addition to being on land, they can also take action on the sea. This is why Jericho will attend the meeting. As a result, the issue of information inequality in the army's judgment once again appeared in the navy's judgment. So far, the British did not know that the German fleet also had an aircraft carrier squadron, and the combat effectiveness of this squadron was much higher than that of British aircraft carriers! In the eyes of the British, the 400 various aircraft on 5 various aircraft carriers are nothing short of a story!

Therefore, regardless of the aircraft carrier squadron, the British Navy still has a huge advantage in tactical reconnaissance and overall strength. Even with Jericho’s conservative character, he can be sure that the large fleet has an advantage in the decisive battle. According to the cautious performance of Prince Ruprecht in the battle, the prince would not force a decisive battle under adverse circumstances. And this, Jericho guessed right. It's just that there was a huge deviation because of missing the German aircraft carrier detachment.

However, the most important point is that the German High Seas Fleet is also very important to the Germans. It is an important bargaining chip between the Germans and the Americans. Therefore, strategically, the Germans use the High Seas Fleet to fight the large fleet. , The British are not wrong on this point.
