Chapter 854 Audacious

"Okay, Scheer, wait for me, I'll be here in a moment." The prince hesitated and said to Scheer who was waiting aside. "If there is anything, we can talk about it at the meeting instead of solving it through private communication." The prince glanced at Hipper and said with slight dissatisfaction.

The prince knew very well that what Hipper said would never be passed in a formal meeting. Otherwise, there was no need for him to find him. If it was a private matter, the prince would just help. It was no big deal. But if it involves a change of plans. Even with the identity and status of a prince, there are some responsibilities that he cannot bear. "What Lord Tirpitz said makes sense. Our attack may be able to sink many auxiliary cruisers, but it is still insufficient to completely tear apart this blockade. We cannot continue to exert pressure. Hipper said carefully. "So we want to change the plan." "Then you should make it clear at the meeting just now." The prince frowned and said, thinking that was indeed the case. Hipper is really annoying. Historically, Hipper was known for his aggressiveness. Apart from the familiar Battle of Dogger Sands and the Battle of Jutland, in fact, in history, Hipper became the closest naval battle to victory for the German High Seas Fleet - during the artillery bombardment. During the Battle of Yorkshire. The German High Seas Fleet's 14 Dreadnoughts and 8 Pre-Dreadnoughts almost encountered the British 6 Super Dreadnoughts and 4 Battlecruisers. However, the opportunity was missed because of the historical British Fleet Commander von Ingenohl's early withdrawal. This naval battle broke out only after Hipper persuaded the former. Therefore, in the prince's view, Hipper was actually more offensive than other German naval generals! And what Hipper has to say to the prince now is probably the kind of risky move that will never be passed at the meeting! "Okay, let's not talk about it for now. What you want to tell me are you planning to let me take the blame for you?" The prince sat back in his seat, formed a triangle with his hands and put them on his On the chin. "It kind of means that." Hipper said with some embarrassment. "Okay, tell me what your plans are." The prince said. "Lieutenant Colonel Edelman, the captain of the Seydlitz, made a suggestion. Although it was a bit risky, it could cause continuous damage to the North Sea blockade." Hipper said. "After the fleet completes its mission, Lieutenant Colonel Edman wants to take his warships to stay in the North Sea blockade and the Norwegian Sea to perform combat missions." "Are you kidding? After we finish fighting Betty, Regardless of whether he wins or loses, the Grand Fleet may return to the Shetland Islands. If you let him take a warship to hunt British warships only more than 100 kilometers away from the Grand Fleet base, do you really think that the British are blind?" Prince? I was also shocked by the plan of Hipper and his younger brother! "We won't do anything during the day. That would be courting death. Lieutenant Colonel Edelman is not that stupid." Hipper said. "We will hide in the Norwegian Sea during the day, or in a bay on the rugged coastline of Norway. Then wait for dark before entering the blockade." "We will camouflage the appearance of the warships, and in the North Sea In the night, it is difficult to judge whether a ship is a warship or a large ship by its appearance." "We have studied the British capture process. They usually choose to approach the target ship and then give The other party will have 5 minutes to choose and will send personnel to board the ship in small boats." "But as far as I know, they have changed their approach after we used camouflaged cruisers and submarines to attack." The prince frowned The head broke Hipper. "Yes, the plan has changed, but because the British cannot attack neutral ships at will,

So their so-called change is just to form a group of two auxiliary cruisers, one of which will be on guard at a distance, and the other will assist in boarding. This change poses no threat to our battlecruisers. We can send them to the sea in less than 10 minutes. Moreover, the British auxiliary cruisers were not equipped with torpedoes. Hipper said.

"Please, are you sure that the British can't tell the difference between battlecruisers and merchant ships?" The Seydlitz is over 200 meters long. "The prince still thinks that Hipper is messing around."You should believe in our camouflage skills. This is the camouflaged Seydlitz, you can take a look. "As he spoke, Hipper took out a photo and began to introduce: "We added a fake chimney, and then erected a partition next to the main gun turret to connect it with the bridge. In this way , at night, it looks like a large ship from a distance, and when in use, the baffle can be lowered to reveal the shooting range. You can put it up again after beating... ""And even if two ships are conducting inspections, the auxiliary cruiser responsible for guarding will not exceed 5,000 meters from the target ship. At such a distance, there is no need to aim at all. Even at night, the lights on the other side's ship are enough to give us Guiding the target, it is very easy for our gunners to hit such a target. Just one volley can kill your opponent cleanly! Hipper insisted. "Okay, answer my other question, how do you guarantee that you can find the British?" How can you ensure that the British will not send your information out? Addressing these two issues, I agree with your plan. "The prince had a deeper understanding of Hipper's persistence. "How the British find the merchant ships of neutral countries at night is how we find the British. Hipper's answer was very artistic. "Yes, it makes perfect sense!" "The prince also realized that it was the British who came to find the Germans, not the Germans who came to find the British! How to put it, for example, the British auxiliary cruiser is equivalent to the urban management of the North Sea! They patrol day and night Blockade, cracking down on all kinds of smuggling small traders. Not to mention the efficiency is not bad. During the entire World War 1, this urban management team searched 12,979 merchant ships. But only 642 slipped through the net... That is to say, 95.9 % of the small vendors have been searched by the urban management... With this efficiency, there is no need to worry about Cedric not being able to find the British! You can always run into him! Cedric The number is like a tiger covered in cowhide, and then when it is waiting for the sheepdogs to come up to check, it suddenly bursts out and kills the opponent instantly... "As for the problem of radio communication, if A month ago, there was nothing we could do, but now, we have a brand new jamming device, and one of the models is specifically targeted at the communication frequency of British auxiliary cruisers. Maybe the British will have a way in the future, but certainly not now! "Hipper said confidently."Things that come out for the first time usually work well. "The prince's saying this is equivalent to agreeing with Hipper's words, which is also equivalent to agreeing with Hipper's plan in disguise. The second update~~~! Please subscribe and reward~~~!
