Chapter 2165： High Seas Fleet Assembly One

In general, the point of this plan is to surprise and attack it! If departing from Wilhelmshaven, the British fleet would be able to spot it early and then prepare. The large fleet can enter the Orkney Islands and cooperate with the air force on the island. Deal with the high seas fleet together, and the British air force can quickly mobilize north.

And if it was sent from the Skagerrak Strait, the exposure time in the North Sea would be half less! The British's preparation time and warning time are greatly reduced. Moreover, according to the British brain supplement, at this time the German fleet returned to the east to replenish ammunition and maintain the warship. It was impossible for it to attack itself, and Ruprecht was to seize the blind spot of the British thinking and play deadly. one strike!

And what needs to be explained is that the High Seas Fleet attacked, even if Jericho didn't want to head-to-head with the High Seas Fleet, the Great Fleet would have to go out to sea. This is a matter of face, otherwise, in the current extremely unfavorable situation for Britain, the British people know that the German fleet is attacking and the British navy is indifferent in the harbor, then don't make a fuss?

And if the big fleet strikes, then the big fleet will also suffer losses and also need to be supplemented. However, it is a pity that the cautious Jericho put the fleet in the Gulf of Forth in order to prevent the dispersion of power. At the beginning of the Gulf of Forth, only Betty’s squadron was deployed. Now it is difficult to supplement the entire fleet. Up! More importantly, the current supply situation of the High Seas Fleet is much better than that of the British. In other words, if the high seas fleet goes out for a lap, the large fleet will also take a lap, and the latter will not be in good condition! The replenishment speed is even slower! (The British fleet is concentrated in one place for supplies, and the supplies are not enough. The German fleet can supply supplies at 3 to 4 ports, and supplies are sufficient.)

In other words, if Jericho thinks of anything, the state of the large fleet may not be suitable for combat. In this case, if Jericho really dares to come out and meet the high seas fleet, then The advantage will not be as great as imagined. The German fleet should be careful not to be greedy. Under the cover of the land-based aviation team, it is not a big problem to withdraw all tails!

On this issue, Ruprecht thought of almost everything that needed to be considered, even considering how the high seas fleet would withdraw if the previous strategy was not successful. In other words, the worst result of this incident was that the High Seas Fleet failed to take off the British land-based airport in the Orkney Islands. As for the airport in the Shetland Islands, it shouldn't be a problem to carry it off.

"Now, I really want to know whether the main force of the High Seas Fleet that has been dormant for a year still wants to be so brave and good at fighting." At the end of the meeting, Ruprecht said meaningfully.

"Dear Marshal, the High Seas Fleet will always be your most loyal subordinate, and will always be the sharpest sword of the Empire." Admiral Scheer responded on behalf of the high seas fleet. In the afternoon, Ruprecht left his mansion on land and came to his flagship Bavaria! With the raising of the flag of the German Navy Marshal and the flag with the emblem of the Kingdom of Bavaria, everyone in the High Seas Fleet knew that their marshal was back! And ready to strike!

"All capital ships of the High Seas Fleet have been concentrated here. It took more than 20 years for the Empire to be built, and now we can finally prove its value with actions!" Looking at the German High Seas Fleet moored in Wilhelmshaven at this time The main force, Ruprecht said with emotion.

My own battleship Bavaria was incorporated into the first battleship squadron of the German Navy, under the jurisdiction of 4 Bavarian-class fast battleships, namely Bavaria, Saxony, Württemberg and Baden.

To the east of the First Battleship Squadron is the Second Battleship Squadron of the German Navy, which also has four Bavarian-class fast battleships, namely Hesse, Mecklenburg, Oldenburg and Weimar.

As for the remaining four Bavarian-class battleships, the third battleship squadron was formed. The four battleships were Brunswick, Deshao, Meiningen and Coburg. These 3 battleship squadrons, a total of 12 Bavarian-class battleships, are the core forces of the entire German High Seas Fleet battleship cluster!

At the exit of the port, the fourth battleship squadron was deployed, consisting of three first-generation ultra-dreadnought Helgoland-class battleships and the improved fast battleship Rheinland, which can be regarded as Helgoland-class battleships. After the improvement was completed, the 4 triple-mounted 12-inch guns were replaced with 4 double-mounted 350MM guns! Whether it is firepower or speed, it is very compatible with the Helgoland-class fast battleship.

Compared with the previous four battleship squadrons, the Fifth Battleship Squadron is a bit shabby. The first three battleships of the German High Seas Fleet are incorporated into it. They are the Nassau battleship equipped with 10 12-inch guns, and the 2 after the change of guns. A Posen-class battleship. The latter’s firepower is the same as that of the Rheinland, but the speed is a bit slow. When the gun was changed, the power system of the Fifth Battleship Squadron was also improved to allow these slow-speed warships to keep up with the high seas. The speed of the fleet.

All battlecruisers were incorporated into the Hipper fleet. After the battlecruiser von der Tann replaced nine 12-inch guns with six 350mm guns, the battlecruisers in the Hipper fleet were super fearless. In modernization, his fleet includes three Mochi-class battlecruisers, namely Mochi, Goben, and Sederitz, as well as the improved Vonder Tann.

Of course, when necessary, the Hipper fleet may join a complete battleship squadron as a supplement. Otherwise, it would be too shabby to command 4 battleships with the rank of Hipper and above!

Next to the Hipper fleet, there are some outdated Mainz-class armored cruisers that are still able to play a certain role. These armored cruisers that had fought in the English Channel and the British fleet not long ago were formed into the High Seas Fleet. Armored cruiser unit. There are a total of 4 Mainz-class armored cruisers. Their main task is to intercept the light cruisers of the British fleet, and when necessary, go to the battle line to share the firepower...

Originally, there were 4 former Dreadnought battleships in the German fleet, but considering that these warships with a maximum speed of only 20 knots have a certain towing speed, in the end, these warships will not be incorporated into the high seas fleet, but the above personnel are added to each The battleship is on board.
