The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 2163: Game difference 1

If Jericho and Thomas talked about the application of the aircraft carrier squadron at the tactical level to solve the problem of how to fight, then in this meeting, Jericho solved the strategic problem of the British Royal Navy fleet, namely Under what kind of strategic situation to fight, and where to fight!

Relying on the two important islands of the Orkney Islands and the Shetland Islands, the Royal Navy obtained the best combat situation they can currently have. Jericho firmly grasped the main force of the German High Seas Fleet and the preparations of the Spey Fleet. The core issue of convergence, the large fleet took the initiative to fight with the German fleet in areas as far away from Norway as possible with the support of land-based aviation, so that the British fleet can not only take advantage of its own aircraft carrier, (at this time, the British It is not known that the German aircraft carrier exists) and even some land-based aviation support can be obtained.

Jericho has considered the various situations he faces. If the weather is clear, the large fleet will naturally find the Spey fleet with a carrier-based aircraft. During the battle, first use a wave of torpedo attacks to consume and delay the Spey fleet, and then Thomas leads the British. The fast fleet went up to kill the German battleships that were slowed by torpedoes.

   And if the weather is bad or at night, then Jericho is not afraid of night battles! The German fleet is tracked by radio positioning and camouflage reconnaissance ships and then intercepted, and Jericho’s default battlefield will never be the narrow mouth between the Shetland Islands and Norway, because it may encounter the same German high seas north. fleet. If the British fleet were to be flanked, this would be a big deal... So Jericho decided to conduct a campaign in the Norwegian Sea, intercepting the Spey fleet as far as possible from the North Sea!

   As for what to do if the Spey fleet forces through the English Channel? Well, I can only rely on the submarines and mine-laying forces of the British Navy. Theoretically, it would cost a great price to break in this way, but how specific Germans choose, and how big the gap between actual conditions and theory is, the British can't tell! I can only do everything to do my fate! Anyway, Jericho is sure to live, that is, the large fleet will never enter the area south of London!

   In the eyes of the British, this meeting is a united meeting, a successful meeting, and a winning meeting! It points out the direction for the future battle of the large fleet. Let the officers and soldiers of the large fleet see the hope of defeating the German fleet. But is it really so?

   Just as Jericho held a combat meeting in the Gulf of Forth, Ruprecht was also considering the final battle. Since Ruprecht can propose the method of letting the Spey fleet return to force the large fleet to take the initiative, then the consequences of this will definitely be considered, as well as the response of the British fleet!

"If I were Jericho, then I would definitely seize the time to re-deploy air forces in the Orkney Islands and the Shetland Islands. And rely on these two islands to actively search for the returning Spey fleet in the Norwegian Sea. Then get rid of him in the Norwegian Sea! The final battle location can only be in the Norwegian Sea!" Ruprecht said, pointing to the giant chart hanging on the wall.

Ruprecht is very clear about what the British think. As a traverser, he naturally knows how to use land-based aviation to the greatest extent to cooperate with the fleet. So what Jericho can think of, he can naturally think of it. So if we still promote this plan, then Ruprecht must have a way to deal with it!

At this time, there is a solid red line in the northern part of the Orkney Islands and the Shetland Islands. This dotted line represents the combat range of the twin bombers based on these two islands, and there is a red dotted line to the north. This represents the patrol range of the British four-engine aircraft. There is not much left of the British V1500, so it is not enough for air strikes. The only threat is the FB27 bomber.

"If this is the case, we are at a disadvantage. The British fleet can intercept the Spey fleet as far west as possible. It is difficult for our air fleet deployed in Norway to cover this area. The British fleet has a huge amount in this area. Advantage." Admiral Scheer pointed to the solid red line with the putter in his hand. A solid blue line next to it represents the range of support of the German navy's air force deployed in Norway. There is a huge gap between the two solid lines.

"So, before the Spey fleet returns, we must first resolve the situation of engagement!" Ruprecht said with a smile, and then he asked the attendants to place the icon representing the high seas fleet around the Shetland and Orkney Islands. Location!

   "Before the earl returns, the high seas fleet will take the initiative! Directly use naval guns to wipe the airfields on the two islands from the ground!" Ruprecht said decisively!

"This?! Isn't it too dangerous?" Hearing Ruprecht's words, both Scheer and Hipper felt their heads buzzing. Although the main force of the large fleet is not deployed in the Orkney Islands, they It is also deployed in the Gulf of Forth. In terms of distance, the British fleet is closer to the Orkney Islands! If the German fleet let the British get the news after they set off, and stay on the sidelines in the Orkney Islands~lightnovelpub.net~ then this will be a big deal!

   As for the departure from Wilhelmshaven, will the British find out? This will almost certainly be discovered! It doesn't matter whether the secret is leaked or not. Think about it, how big is the high seas fleet going out! The German fleet will not be invisible. Why are you walking more than 900 kilometers at sea without being discovered by the British? The British have submarines on the seabed and seaplanes on the sea. Even if you are sailing at night, the fleet rushes at a maximum speed of 25 knots, 250 nautical miles in a night, not even 500 kilometers! This TM is just for delivery! Reluctantly and Hipper are not afraid!

   If you want to say that the weather is bad, is that okay? This can only be said to be possible. Not sure, and the Navy is a one-shot deal. A single mistake may wipe out the fleet that has accumulated for decades. Do you dare to bet you will win? Scheer and others feel a little bit off.

"If our air force deployed in Norway can provide support, then we are at least equal to each other. The British rely on the air bases in the Orkney and Shetland Islands. We rely on Norway. We have more bombers and crews. The staff is more elite." Major General Becken said.

   "If that were the case, we would be fighting in advance." Scheer thought for a while and said. After listening to Major General Becken's words, Scheer was not particularly resistant, because this at least allowed the two sides to achieve a balance of power, but considering the closeness of the high seas fleet and the large fleet, this is the most likely outcome after the war. It's losing both.
