Chapter 812 Passed Unanimously!
"This, this, this is simply unimaginable!" Looking at several telegrams handed to him by the Kaiser, Tirpitz suddenly felt a surge of sadness in his heart. He really couldn't imagine that he had been the Minister of State for the Navy for more than 20 years. Until now, his most capable and capable general actually supports Ruprecht in gaining command of the navy. This is like a teacher who dutifully trains his students, but after the students complete their studies, they directly jump to work for someone else. …….
Tirpitz can understand Hipper's choice. After all, Hipper is a Bavarian. His success is inseparable from the prince's help. Moreover, the prince's suggestion does have reasonable support. It is not surprising that Hipper chose Tirpitz. Su Xiong’s choice is understandable to Tirpitz. After all, Su Xiong is now so prosperous in the Indian Ocean and is ready to be promoted to lieutenant general. The plan designed by the prince is very important. It is no exaggeration to say that this plan has made Su Xiong successful. Moreover, the prince also gave Su Xiong suggestions and tips, so Su Xiong supported it. Then there are Count Spee and Scheer. From the perspective of the internal naval system, the two are in competition with Hipper. Well, Count Spee may be worse because he has become the Allied Mediterranean-Black Sea Fleet. Commander, the possibility of taking up the post of Commander of the High Seas Fleet locally is relatively small. But what about Scheer? He was a person that both he and the Kaiser valued. Now letting him command two battleship squadrons was also paving the way for him to take office. In the end, Scheer not only agreed to let Ruprecht be the commander, but was even said to have convinced some doubters. Major General Becken! What kind of rhythm is this? Tirpitz said he really couldn't understand. "So what should General Boer do? Does he know about this?" Tirpitz said, wiping the cold sweat on his head. When it came to Bohr, Tirpitz finally found a balance in his mind. He was just the Minister of State for the Navy. The most sad thing must be Bohl. He asked himself that Bohl had done nothing wrong. As a result, all his generals supported outsiders to command the fleet. This No one can do this kind of thing... "I have arranged for someone to tell General Bohr, and I want to hear your opinion now." The Kaiser looked at Tirpitz and said. "I... This matter exceeded my expectations. I always thought you were just acting on a whim." Tirpitz really didn't know how to answer this question. From the bottom of his heart, he didn't want the prince to directly intervene in the command of the fleet, but now, facing the statements of the fleet's senior generals and the powerful Ruprecht, he really didn't dare to express his objections, because besides the prince, he had to take care of the East and the East. Outside the line, even Tirpitz believed in his heart that he was more suitable to lead the navy. After all, the current achievements of the Imperial Navy, whether it is the submarine breaking operation or the Su Xiong fleet, are all carried out according to the prince's plan. This record cannot be faked. If it were another naval general, he might be the commander of the High Seas Fleet by now. "Don't you even have the guts to say no?" the Kaiser said jokingly. "Do you know why I like to discuss with Ruprecht when I encounter a problem, rather than with you or Moltke? Your limited ability and inability to come up with a solution is one of the reasons. More importantly, you You don’t even have the determination to express what you mean! You don’t dare to say everything you think. When you say every word, you will worry about gains and losses. And a real soldier does not like such a boss, so our The generals chose Ruprecht. Little Moltke is better off, but you are not suitable to participate in the formulation of wartime naval strategy." "In that case, so be it, the prince of Bavaria can do what he thinks When the time comes to mobilize the fleet, I will arrange for him a naval liaison group to act with him.When he has time and the environment is right, he is the Commander of the High Seas Fleet! "The Kaiser said.
"Yes, Your Majesty. But how does the prince manage his time? "Tirpitz said with some shame. "It's none of your business. Boll and Hipper have already gone to discuss these matters with Ruprecht. You just have to cooperate with him. "The Kaiser waved his hand and said. At the same time, Scheer and Hipper also arrived at the prince's temporary residence. At this time, what they saw were groups of soldiers coming in and out, placing items on the vehicles parked in the courtyard. Various items, it is obvious that the Crown Prince of Bavaria is moving. "Hipper, where do you think our Prince will go?" "General Boer said rather sourly."I think that at least he will not go to Kiel Port now. "Hipper said expressionlessly. "We have to plan a large-scale operation, but the person in charge is on the Eastern Front, Munich or somewhere else. General Boer frowned and said. "This is His Majesty the Emperor's order. We can only obey it. In fact, when the prince originally suggested that General Su Xiong go to the Indian Ocean, he also proposed it in the palace in Munich. "Hipper retorted neither softly nor hard. "Okay, okay, to be honest, I'm not used to discussing naval matters next to a group of army officers. "Admiral Bohr can't say anything now. He has the support of the major fleet commanders, the authorization of the Kaiser, and the prince is also considered "experienced." As a naval commander, he is actually equivalent to a mascot. "General Boll, General Hipper, Your Highness is waiting for you in the conference room, please follow me. "The prince's chief of staff personally welcomed the arrival of the two men. "I think you should have seen His Majesty's appointment. In other words, this plan can already be started. This should be the reason why you came to me. Things. "When the prince saw the visitor, he didn't talk nonsense. Today is his last day on the Western Front, and he will board the train back to Munich tomorrow. He doesn't want to waste time. "That's it, Your Highness. "General Boer said. "Well, now I need you to do some preliminary work, collect necessary intelligence, and interfere with the British judgment. "The prince said."Preliminary work? ""Yes, it is preliminary work. To give a very simple example, can any of you confirm whether the British Queen Elizabeth-class battleship has left the British mainland? This is a prerequisite for our plan. If Thomas does not leave, the entire plan cannot be implemented. "The prince asked the question first."This is difficult to answer. After all, the British guard the anchorage of the Grand Fleet very strictly. "General Boer's face changed slightly, and he was a little embarrassed, because as the commander of the navy, he really didn't know what was going on with the four most powerful warships in the British Navy...
