Chapter 850 The Road to War 2

"Well, now that the queens have been eliminated from the combat sequence, the enemies we are about to face are very limited. We have the advantage on the scene, and the rest is to convert the advantage into actual results. So now, I hope General Hipper can first introduce the situation of the Betty Fleet and the situation of the Royal Navy on the east coast of England."

"In general, our first two cruises went very smoothly. Whether it was shelling the port or conducting mines, we received almost no interference, and we easily solved a light cruiser. But starting from the third time, the British began to take precautions , the third time we met and saw each other from a distance. The fourth time they almost caught up with us. As for the latest time, the British super-dreadnought battlecruiser successfully bit my tail, but it was a pity. He was beaten back." Hipper said this, causing the participants to burst into laughter.

"Judging from the current situation, it seems that the British have been able to grasp the context of our actions. The easiest thing to see is probably the refueling ship that arrived on time before departure, and then there may also be the enemy at Kiel Naval Port. Inside. Of course, another possibility is submarine reconnaissance. Light cruisers are out of the question. Our battle cruisers are often dispatched, and the Harwich fleet does not dare to approach us anymore." After Hipper finished speaking, he looked at the prince.

"The loophole in the oil tanker was left intentionally by us. We always need to let the British know when we will come out. Our campaign goal is to attract the British to come out to fight. If the two sides cannot meet, it will be a big problem for us. Big losses. Therefore, we must make the British think that they can master our action plan, so that they can arrange an ambush with confidence. Make them willing to fight us. Now it seems that the British have done this. "

"However, we still need to prevent the British from obtaining our information from other channels. Therefore, we must step up our counterintelligence work around William Naval Port. We can use new radio interference equipment and positioning equipment, and we must also pay attention to wired communications such as telephones. , in short, I hope that when the fleet is operating, except for the telegrams from the Admiralty, there will not be any other radio waves in our sky!"

"The submarine issue is indeed troublesome. In addition to increasing the anti-submarine capabilities of surface submarines and airships, I think the layout of the minefields can be slightly adjusted, especially near our departure route. Some defensive minefields need to be deployed," the prince said. .

"This will cause trouble for the fleet out of port." Admiral Ball said.

"Sher, is there a problem with your fleet?" The prince turned to Scheer and said.

"As long as there is a detailed map of the mine, there will be no problem. It may delay some time." Scheer replied seriously.

"Then deploy, we only have one chance, no matter how careful we are," the prince made his decision. "That's all I'm talking about about counter-reconnaissance. I will provide you with a document later. Just follow the above. As for supplies, I hope that General Scheer's two battleship detachments can be completed within a week. All maintenance and supply operations, our operations have entered a countdown."

"No problem, three warships are already in good condition, and the remaining three can enter the dock tomorrow and undergo thorough maintenance and repairs," Admiral Bol said. In order to paralyze the British, while the Hipper fleet frequently appeared in the British offshore waters, the main force of the German High Seas Fleet frequently took action in the Baltic Sea!

Regular fleet operations can improve the morale of officers and soldiers, and fleet operations without any danger can greatly improve the morale of officers and soldiers...

This is what happened in the Baltic Sea. Admiral Essen is indeed a great person. But it is a pity that the Russian navy is not strong enough, the equipment is not strong, the logistics is not strong, and the people are not strong... Judging from the current situation, the High Seas Fleet has already deployed its offensive minefields to the gate of the Gulf of Riga. But now the main force of the Russian fleet can only stay in the Gulf of Finland...

As the main force of the next operation, the Scheer fleet will naturally have to tidy up the battleships before the operation. The prince does not want the fleet to set sail, and then a certain battleship suddenly loses a propeller or something...

"What does General Hipper think of the combat effectiveness of the British battlecruiser fleet?" Tirpitz suddenly spoke at this time.

"Honestly, if the battlefield was not too close to Britain and the British reinforcements were in the fleet, my fleet would have no problem killing Betty." Hipper showed a cruel smile. "If General Su Xiong's telegram can be delivered before my last voyage, I will definitely fight with the British."

Hipper was so confident for a reason. He had a total of 5 battlecruisers. Among them, Moltke, Goeben, and Seydlitz had the same armaments as Scharnhorst. Scharnhorst could After severely injuring the Queen, Moltke and others will naturally be able to kill the lions and tigers whose defenses are far weaker than the Queen's. Although Moltke's defense is worse than Scharnhorst's, Hipper can face the British's There is no problem if you want to block the 13.5-inch gun and the 12-inch gun. As for Vondertann and Blücher, their opponents were the British's first-generation battle cruisers, so naturally they had no pressure at all.

Su Xiong's telegram made Hipper full of confidence, but also made him feel very regretful. If he had run slower last time and no British warships appeared in the distance, if he and Betty had a PK, the scene would definitely be nice! But unfortunately, the opportunity is gone now, not only because it is not him who will go to the British offshore waters in the next stage, but more importantly, as long as the British should also receive the battle report, as long as they are not stupid, they will definitely re-evaluate the combat power of the German warships!

"It seems that the combat effectiveness of Hipper's fleet is enough to deal with Betty." The subtext of Tirpitz's words is that since the battlecruiser formation is already very powerful, then there is no need to mobilize the main fleet. What if something happens to so many battleships when they go out...

"If we just teach the British a lesson, we don't have to prepare for so long. The key to war is annihilation! Thomas can take the risk and disperse the fleet to achieve total annihilation. If we just let Hipper's fleet beat Betty, that's it. If so, then don't you have a bad taste?" The prince looked at Tirpitz next to him and then at Scheer who was hesitant to speak.
