The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 297: Navy Preparation One

"I wipe! My name admiral is about to become a real admiral?" When Prince Ruprecht received the fleet sailing plan sent by Tirpitz himself, the prince was a little messy. I was just a navy fan in my last life, and I also received some basic naval military education in this life, but these are all attached, similar to elective courses in college.

; The performance in the Toshima naval battle is entirely the product of quick wit and hardware superiority. You want to say that it is okay to provide some ideas for the navy or the design of warships, but if you want to make a specific naval plan, then forget it. Are you Tirpitz already Secretary of State for the Navy? And is Admiral von Boll not the commander of the High Seas Fleet? What should you discuss?

"But the final decision must be made by you. The Kaiser will grant you the right to command the task force. You will be responsible for the entire plan. The navy's final travel arrangements and plans will naturally require you to visit." Tirpitz was in Explained patiently.

; It’s true that the three departments of the German Navy have their own missions, but they all operate under the emperor’s orders. Some big things are ultimately decided by the emperor, such as the historical Bavarian-class battleships. The plan was decided by William II. When Tirpitz was entangled in whether the new battleship should use 10 350 guns or 8 406 guns, the Kaiser directly proposed a plan for 8 15-inch guns.

; Similarly, in wartime, the Kaiser can be directly removed because of the negligence of the former German High Seas Fleet Commander Ingenor. And Scheer wanted the High Seas Fleet to take a big action and must win the consent of the Kaiser. Does the Kaiser understand navy? Maybe I know a little bit, but I am definitely not from a major. But people just have the right to decide.

; And now, when the Kaiser delegates some of the powers to the prince, the prince’s authority over the German task force is equivalent to the Kaiser’s authority over the German navy, regardless of whether the prince understands it or not, and whether it is Tyre who participated in this operation. Pitts or Boll, their plans must be approved by the prince before they can take effect. Of course, this document will eventually be uploaded to the Kaiser, but the next step is just a cutscene.

The prince felt that all of this was a bit inconsistent, and even a little weird, but he was relieved immediately. The later U.S. Secretary of Defense was a civilian. The buddy named Rumsfeld was pushing the armored vehicle rapid response brigade with all his heart, and then he was slapped in the face by the RPG. The United States is like this, Germany on this plane is not a big deal for yourself as a traverser...

; Of course, what makes the prince most confused is that whether it is Tirpitz or Boll, they actually think it is a matter of course, and the respect shown in front of them is definitely not only brought by status! Instead, he really regarded the prince as a reliable boss. What a thing! But soon, the prince was relieved again, and the basic work was formulated by professional staff. Don't worry about it, the most important thing is actually the handling of special circumstances, but considering that the opponent we face this time is very broiler, the special circumstances will not be special.

; Think about it again, even Betty, a colleague who suppressed him and sold his teammates several times, can remember his name. He who participated in and commanded the world's first battleship battle in the pre-fearless era is not too much to serve as the chief officer. ...... Well, it's useless to say more, let's look at the plan first.

"According to the plan, once the war breaks out, the entire fleet will be divided into two detachments. The battleship Caesar and the armored cruiser Munich form Group A. After Brazil completes preparations, they will go straight to the Lobito area in central Angola. The b fleet composed of cruisers Bismarck and Hamburg will depart from Namibia and head towards Luanda."

; "Each squadron will carry 2 troop carriers and 4 supply ships, as well as 4 minesweepers. When seizing the port, the Munich-class armored cruisers will be in charge of cover, and capital ships will be in charge of perimeter guards. After occupying the port, the armed merchant ship will take over the defense of the port. The armored cruiser Hamburg will join the fleet a, and the armored cruiser Mainz will go to Cabinda and cover the army to occupy it." Admiral von Boll probably Let me introduce the situation. (You can look at the map, there is an enclave in Angola)

"In the entire African region south of the equator, the only thing capable of contending with our fleet is the Royal Navy, but they have recently been busy with the battle in South Africa. The army’s artillery and gunners are not enough, and a large number of British warships cruising in South Africa rushed to South Africa. , Transferred some of the naval guns and a large number of gunners to form the Marine Artillery to support the battle. The remaining sailors were also temporarily incorporated into the Marine Corps. Judging from the current intelligence, the British have drawn at least about 5,000 sailors to participate in the battle. In." Tirpitz introduced.

; Before the end of World War II, the Royal Navy was more reliable than the Army, and never let the British Empire down. After hearing this information, the prince said in his heart. 1 Before the war, Britain was very capable of fighting. Although he made the Boer army substantially improved, it was clear that the British were not vegetarian. The mobilized empire's combat effectiveness is still bursting!

;It is obvious that it takes a lot of time for the army to transfer from the mainland and the colonies~lightnovelpub.net~ Especially the recruitment of heavy equipment is even more troublesome. The British, who were desperate for scheming, decisively put naval personnel into land warfare. Although the investment of thousands of naval officers and a large number of small and medium-caliber naval guns can not be said to contain the Boer offensive, it can still be done according to the key points!

; But this is definitely a good thing for Germany, because in this way, the Royal Navy is completely incapable of interfering, and the gunners and sailors are diverted to land warfare, so there are people to operate the warship? Probably do the math.

; A first-class cruiser is only about 600 people (not counting the 48 boilers such as the strong.) Including Edgar, all the first-class cruisers that can be used in the UK are only about 15 or so. It is said that at present, almost all the British cruisers that can cruise around Africa have transferred a considerable part of their personnel to South Africa, while the British battleships are concentrated in the mainland and the Mediterranean, and cannot appear in Africa in a hurry. Counting the reaction and preparation time, the British had no intention and power to interfere in German actions.

When it was determined that the British could not manage the nosy, the prince finally let out a sigh of relief, but soon, another piece of information from Ball made the prince feel a touch of danger. The French have a very powerful fleet in Africa, they actually deployed battleships in Africa, and more than one!
