The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 2218: Dawn four

Hood's battlecruiser squadron and ordinary dreadnought squadrons were first eliminated, because fighting these weak chickens is almost useless! Originally, the 12-inch naval gun could not cause too serious damage to the German capital ships, so it is obviously not a crime to waste their output! Well, the remaining goal is more clear, either 4 Vengeance-class battleships, or 10 British first-generation super fearless equipped with 343MM main guns!

   Among these goals, Ruprecht is more inclined to choose the latter, because the defense level of the Vengeance-class battleship is higher than that of the queen... Whether it is a shell or an airborne torpedo, it is more difficult to sink the Vengeance-class battleship. And what about the first generation of British super fearless? Belongs to the kind of guy with a high-skinned and crispy skin. Think about the famous "Bold Thunder-Sinking" incident in history. Ruprecht thinks it is a good choice to attack the first-generation British super fearless in the first round.

   In order to ensure the explosiveness of the attack, the crown prince must leave enough power in his hands. At least 12 Bavarian-class battleships are indispensable! In considering the issue of meticulous firepower distribution, the 4 Vengeance-class battleships must be focused on guarding! Four battleships 1V1 must be separated to focus on Revenge. After all, the 15-inch artillery of the Vengeance-class battleship with new armor-piercing shells is the strongest in the British fleet. If it is missed and the opponent can shoot without interference, Then maybe something went wrong!

  Because it is only to stare, not to severely damage the opponent, Ruprecht intends to use the 4th Battleship Squadron's 4 Helgoland-class battleships equipped with 350MM main guns to stare at the opponent. Then the 10 Bavarian-class battleships stared at one of the first British ultra-fearless battleships, striving to obtain results in the shortest time. The remaining 2 Bavarian-class battleships and the Fourth Battleship Squadron were responsible for fighting other British battleships, anyway, the British 12 inches. The power of artillery is limited, even if 2V1 wants to severely damage German battleships, it is still more difficult.

   However, now the most difficult question is here, what about Hipper... If you want to evaluate the most sad admiral in the entire war, Hipper is definitely on the list! Not to mention expensive generals, now there are only 4 battlecruisers under command. In the end, his 4 battlecruisers have to face the mighty Thomas fleet! 6 Queens and 1 Super Fearless War Cruise beckoned to Hipper. It's really going to happen if you make trouble! (Ruprecht did not expect Jericho to assign the Hood fleet to Thomas.)

"Your Excellency, in terms of combat effectiveness, Admiral Hipper’s fleet is not even as good as the fourth battleship squadron. The latter’s defense is at least the standard battleship level and has a little more artillery. The admiral is facing the British most Sharp sword." Admiral Scheer said hesitantly.

"But I can't withdraw more troops to support him. We must ensure that the first blow causes enough damage to the British." Ruprecht paused and continued: "My mission to Hipper It's very simple. Hold Thomas and try to minimize your losses. When our carrier-based aircraft flies on the battlefield, I need Hipper to buy me half an hour!"

"This result is too cruel for us. After all, when we hit the British, the Hipper fleet will be hit hard. Exchange alone will not give us an advantage unless we can play a super high exchange ratio." Admiral Scheer said.

"No problem! Everything has been arranged. Maybe the Hipper fleet will not be able to return a warship at the end of the war, but in the first round of confrontation, his loss must be manageable! Last night, I thought about it for 3 hours! To determine the feasibility and necessity of this plan, now, I have made a decision, although some other people as bait, they will bear the unimaginable sacrifice! But at least, It will bring us a greater chance of winning! I have handed over all of the avant-garde fleet to General Hipper, and Scheer, your task is to cooperate with me, command the main force of the high seas fleet, and let everyone sacrifice value!"

Ruprecht made a quiet gesture after he finished speaking. The meaning is very clear. I have made the determination to fight. You can do the rest as I said. This is a military order and there is no room for bargaining. !

"As you wish, Lord Admiral." The moment when Scheer changed the title of Ruprecht from crown prince to marshal, it indicates that everything has entered a state of war. Now, he is no longer the crown prince of Bavaria. Ruprecht is the only one, only Marshal Ruprecht, who is the German Navy Marshal, commander of the German High Seas Fleet!

   "Your Excellency Marshal, Lieutenant General Rodhak, commander of the aircraft carrier squadron, sent a telegram. This is the details of our first wave of available aircraft." An officer sent a telegram to Ruprecht.

After sufficient preparation, the five aircraft carriers of Lieutenant General Rodhak can release more than 230 aircraft in the first wave of attacks~lightnovelpub.net~ But in the end, there is room for Ruprecht. Under the order to complete the second wave of attacks as soon as possible, Major General Rodhak adjusted the size of the first wave of aircraft.

  The size of the fleet is still 210 aircraft, and the number has not decreased much, but the number of attack aircraft has been reduced and the number of fighters has been increased. These aircraft are divided into two battle groups. The total battle group is the High Seas Fleet Direct Guard Fighter Unit, with about 70 various aircraft. Fight against the British aviation power with seaplanes and one-off fighter jets taking off from the High Seas Fleet. Among the other 140 aircraft, there are 50 fighters and 90 attack aircraft. Their task is to cooperate with the naval guns of the High Seas Fleet to attack the first generation of the British fleet!

In this way, the German Navy’s aircraft carrier squadron implements a strategy based on soundness. Although 210 aircraft seem to be quite large, the number of attack aircraft is obviously small. The remaining aircraft have been prepared but did not attack in the first wave of aircraft. The aircraft can quickly pull up to the deck for positioning and release after the aircraft group leaves, thus shortening the time for the second attack. what? As for what you asked about the escorted fighter? According to the crown prince’s estimate, the remaining crew of the British aircraft carrier squadron that has been shed a wave of blood will probably also have a wave? They don't have enough planes to release the second wave!

   In this way, the German aircraft carrier's attack process will be smoother, and the interval between two attacks will also decrease. If nothing else, after two rounds of attacks, the Spey fleet should also be there? Ruprecht thought to himself.
