Chapter 1094 Something Happened!

Chapter 1094 Something happened!

However, even if he felt something was wrong, the prince would never agree to Hipper putting pressure on the Admiralty in his own name. Not to mention that he did not have real power now. Even if he did, he would still have to obtain the approval of the Kaiser, and then use This is issued in the name of Admiral Boer, Commander of the High Seas Fleet.

Besides, the navy is different from the army. When it is weak, it cannot act rashly. It is not nice to say that if the two battlecruisers sink, they will sink. The High Seas Fleet is still the High Seas Fleet, but once the main force goes out, there will be many variables. That's a big deal. In fact, the prince is more cautious than Jericho in tactics. He is still very cautious in using the main fleet when he is not completely sure. All, no matter what, the prince must have a more objective understanding of the ins and outs of the whole matter before he can make a decision!

More than 20 minutes later, Hipper in Wilhelmshaven finally got in touch, and then the website learned the ins and outs of the matter. A month earlier, a German submarine operating in the Norwegian Sea had spotted a convoy trying to circumnavigate Scandinavia. And reported the news to the German Admiralty. At that time, Tirpitz and others estimated that the British planned to transport supplies to Russia through the Arctic Ocean. A week later, the battlecruiser von der Tann, hunting in the Norwegian Sea, captured a British transport ship and found supplies destined for Russia on it. More than 30 aircraft engines with erased marks were even found on it.

When this matter was confirmed, the German Navy believed that action should be taken on this transportation line. After some research, it was decided that the attack range of the battlecruiser detachment should be moved further north, because the maximum number of battleships dispatched at each time was 2. There were only one battlecruiser and a small number of escort battleships, so the Admiralty could make a decision on this matter itself, so the prince was not notified.

In the following weeks, the German navy still made some gains, and the British also pushed the route all the way north, and the German fleet also followed suit... Until something happened today!

"If you have any news about the British Grand Fleet and Fast Fleet, tell me everything you know." The prince thought for a while and said.

"The current commander of the British Navy's fast fleet is Rear Admiral Thomas, who controls all fast capital ships except for a battlecruiser detachment directly under the Grand Fleet. According to our estimates, the five Queen-class battleships it originally belonged to have been completely repaired. In addition, the British may have two new Queens in service. Although the Grand Fleet has not returned to the Shetland Islands, it often appears in this area." Hipper thought for a while and said.

"Just this bit of news?" There was deep dissatisfaction in the prince's tone. He felt that his heart was really tired. The German Navy's intelligence capabilities were still as deceptive as ever!

After adjusting his somewhat manic mood, the prince decided to find a breakthrough by himself: "If the British take action, there will definitely be more frequent radio contacts, or at least there will be abnormalities in radio contacts. Is there any information in this regard?"

"this,

There is really no frequent radio contact. On the contrary, before and after our fleet is dispatched, the radio communication frequency of the British fleet will drop to a certain extent. It is very regular, and this time, it is even more true. Radio communication frequency dropped by about 30%. This is very abnormal! In addition, our radio personnel detected signals in some very obscure bands, but they were unable to decipher them for the time being. Hipper thought for a moment and said.

"Hold the grass, isn't it promised that Germany will be the best in the world in science and technology?!" Hipper is not a technical officer, so he doesn't understand the trick, but as a time traveler, the prince, although he is not doing this, has gained more than 100 years. The prince's insight made him immediately understand the key point.

It's not that the British's radio communications have really decreased, but because the British have activated a new communication frequency band, and this frequency band cannot be received by Germany's current antennas! Unable to receive signals, the British gave the Germans the feeling that they were less connected... But in fact, the British communication frequency should have increased during this period!

At this moment, the prince once again gave 32 likes to Britain, a long-established industrial power! Originally, in World War II, the British's electronic technology and engine technology were able to surpass the Germans. (It was like this in the later period, but it was actually similar in the beginning.) But now, what surprised the prince was that in the battle after he traveled through time, the British's technical foundation still allowed them to vaguely occupy the top spot!

The Germans chose to use the Enig cipher machine to ensure that their radio communications were not eavesdropped. This is more of an advantage in algorithms and ideas. The British can receive telegrams from the Germans, but they cannot decipher them. And the British did even better this time! You won’t be able to receive it directly! This made the prince's heart tremble. Although some technologies are not impossible to break through, for example, in the late World War II, the Germans also developed a practical short-wave radar, but it came out too late, and its performance was still not as good as that of the United Kingdom and the United States... But now, technological breakthroughs take time, and the British may soon take action on these two warships.

"Your Highness, are you listening? Our comrades in arms need the help of the fleet. Even if the main force of the High Seas Fleet cannot be dispatched, I hope that my squadron will be ready to respond to my comrades at any time." Hipper's anxious voice once again spoke to the prince. Ringing in the ears.

"Your Highness, Marshal Tirpitz's call has been answered." said the naval liaison officer on the side.

"Very good, you continue to contact General Hipper and ask him to tell you the routes of several operations, and then mark them on the chart. At the same time, immediately collect all recent information about the navy. For my reference." The prince said He handed the microphone in his hand to the liaison officer and then took Tirpitz's call.

"Do you know about General Hipper?" the prince asked.

"Of course I know this, but the main force of the High Seas Fleet is currently in Kiel Port. Two newly commissioned Bavaria-class battleships are undergoing training, and there is also a battleship squadron performing the task of suppressing Russia. There are some difficulties in gathering the fleet. , I plan to report it to His Majesty the Kaiser tomorrow. You know, not everyone can wake anyone up from bed like you."

There was a soft thorn in Tirpitz's words, not because the prince picked him up from the bed, but because if the prince suddenly asked the fleet to assemble, this would also be troublesome for Tirpitz. The prince made some requests that he could not refuse and could not easily agree to.
