Chapter 855 This Is Your Fleet

"You can do this, but you can't say it. If I can severely damage Betty's fleet, then even the loss of one battle cruiser can be tolerated." The prince was not worried about the three Invincible-class battle cruisers of the grand fleet. The first-generation British war patrol chased Mackensen? What are you thinking about? Seydlitz in this dimension can also run at a speed of more than 27 knots!

"Then you agree?" Hipper's eyes lit up. "Let me think about it again." The prince also needs to think about it again. The loss of a battle cruiser is actually not a big deal for the High Seas Fleet, but after all, it is worth more than 2 million pounds, and there are more than 1,000 more on top. We've got the number, we can't just let it go. The fleet operates at night and hides in the depths of the sea during the day. If Hipper's wave of attacks succeeds, the British 10th Cruiser Squadron will be greatly weakened, so the British auxiliary cruisers will refocus on the blockade. And not cruising in the Norwegian Sea. Therefore, the probability of being discovered during the day is not high, not to mention the disguise. (Looking at the bold disguise of the British merchant ship, there is no need to doubt the counterfeiting technology at that time!)The hunt at night is of a sneak attack nature, with the advantages of electronic jamming and sneak attack. It is unlikely that the British camouflaged cruiser will have the opportunity to send out Intelligence, and even if there is a problem, the Seydlitz can still rely on ultra-high speed to go back. Even if the Lion and Tiger are not sunk by the prince, I am afraid they will have to go to the port for repairs. At this time, I want to count on the Lion and Tiger hunting. Is Mackensen even stronger than Seydlitz in history? Isn't this funny? If an abnormal situation occurs, Seydlitz can run back all the way at a high speed of more than 25 knots. The fleet can stop Seydlitz during the day. This prince believes that what if it is at night? That's it. In history, there was such an incident in the Battle of Jutland. During the daytime battle, the battleship Nassau and a light cruiser fell behind. Then even Scheer thought that the outcome of the Nassau was to be destroyed by the enemy. The fleet concentrated fire and was killed by torpedoes. What Scheer didn't expect was that this guy actually went home before the main force of the High Seas Fleet. When Scheer was still leading the High Seas Fleet to hide and seek with the British, he had already returned home. Doorway…. Think about it, Betty's new battle cruiser will probably be disabled if nothing happens. The old battle cruisers were outnumbered and could not catch up. What's more important is that the British did not expect that the Germans would do this, and the Germans were well prepared. History has proved that if the British were not prepared and we were well prepared, we could go through the English Channel... (Please Baidu Thunder-Sebrus Action.) So in the end the prince decided to acquiesce to Hipper's plan. "If I can severely damage Betty's fleet, then I will send you a telegram, and then you can execute your plan!" the prince finally said. "Thank you very much for your support, Your Highness." Hipper was stunned for a moment and then said with some gratitude. Although he is the commander of the squadron, he does not have the right to directly change the pre-made plan. If you want to make the Seydlitz legally reasonable, then only the prince can personally issue this order, and Germany is an empire after all. Even if something goes wrong, Ruprecht's resistance and Hipper's resistance are completely different concepts... If it falls on the former, at most the Kaiser will say a few words. If it's the latter, it's hard to tell. Therefore, at least from Hipper's perspective, the prince still took the blame for himself and his colleagues. "You're welcome. Compared to me, you are risking your future, while Lieutenant Colonel Edelman is risking his life. Tell him for me that if he can complete the mission and come back safely, I will persuade the Kaiser. If you give him the praise he deserves, it is not impossible to become a general,” said the prince. Edelman is now a lieutenant colonel. If the fight is successful,

Promotion to brigadier general doesn't seem to be a big problem. Especially when the empire needs such a lone hero, the prince thought in his mind.

After all, Hipper's problem was finally solved, and the latter left with confidence. Then, the prince looked at the sky outside, as if he hadn't eaten dinner today, and took another look. Watch, let me go, it’s half past eight, night! Seeing Admiral Scheer waiting outside the door, the prince remembered again that he seemed to be having dinner with the generals of Scheer's First Battleship Squadron? "Eat whatever you want." Looking at Scheer who was waiting, Ruprecht was also a little embarrassed. After all, it does seem a little bad to have two squadron commanders and six captains waiting for you alone. “I didn’t expect that in the remote port of Kiel, I could actually eat canned sausages produced in Bavaria.” The dinner was not sumptuous. The prince's decision to have dinner with the fleet commander was also impromptu. It is understandable to be inadequately prepared. As the saying goes, do as the Romans do, and eat whatever they prepare. Of course, when Scheer visited the submarine force, he was faced with steaks that smelled of engine oil. Scheer also ate it all in one go, and then wrote a report after returning, hoping to improve the treatment of the submarine force and issue one more set of regular uniforms every year. "Actually, since last week, various canned food has been a regular visitor to the naval fleet. In addition to the submarine force personnel who are frequently dispatched, they can enjoy fresh meat and vegetables on the shore, and other regular fleet personnel in the port We can only eat canned food," Lieutenant General Scheer said. "We are eating pretty well, at least there is enough meat in these sausages. And our junior officers and soldiers are eating what is called some kind of canned meat-like thing, I have tasted that There seems to be no meaty taste except salt, spices and starch in it. It’s really hard for me to understand that this kind of thing is called canned meat.” Commander of the Second Battleship Squadron who sat with Vice Admiral Scheer Lieutenant General von Lance said. "If you have anything to say, just say it!" The prince put down the knife and fork in his hand with a sullen face. "I think that before the fleet sets sail, our soldiers should at least enjoy a decent breakfast. And now the navy's rationing may be a bit difficult, you are taking office. If we want the soldiers to support you, Support you, you should at least ensure that they satisfy their stomachs." Lieutenant General Scheer lowered his head and said carefully. "The Admiralty can't change anything. Our supplies are all rationed according to the imperial government. But you are the king, and you have 2 army groups and ownership of more than 150,000 square kilometers of land. I think, You can do something about it, right?" Lieutenant General von Lance said. "This is the first time I have seen someone who can do such an honest thing when he is being ripped off." The prince glanced at Scheer, who lowered his head, and looked at Lieutenant General Lance, who also immediately studied it. Salad and lamb chops on a plate. "Now, this fleet is under your command and it is also your fleet. I think it is necessary to be slightly tilted in terms of supplies, especially diet. I have always believed that proper diet is the key to ensuring morale." Scheer continued. The third update is here~~~! Please subscribe and reward~~~!
