Obviously, this set of command system is entirely dependent on the command headquarters far away in France. It is impossible for Germany to establish a command center at sea. Submarine tracking fleet is also risky. After all, destroyers can force submarines to dive, and then they may not be able to catch up. Up... However, these problems no longer exist for the German camouflage supply ship/reconnaissance ship wearing the American coat. It is impossible for the British to launch an attack on an American ship that has not taken any hostile actions. Even if it is launched, it will directly destroy the transmitter. Is it over if you drop it? What is a codebook? It is not very useful for the dumb machine.

   "A very good idea." The Kaiser nodded and said, but then asked: "Then what method will the British use to counter our submarine operations?"

"If it is in the ocean, their approach is nothing more than two points. The first is to organize fleets or form a special fast fleet for transportation. The former can reduce the probability of our submarine intercepting opponents, while the latter may make the submarine very difficult. It's hard to catch up. Second, it is to use destroyers or light cruisers to escort. If you are close to the mainland, there may be airships or planes." The prince thought for a while and said.

   "The fleet travels together, and there are destroyers or even light cruisers escorted? This idea seems very good. So for this anti-submarine system, do you have a way to crack it?" William II frowned slightly.

"The only way is for submarines to launch cluster attacks at night. The British have too many merchant ships, and their destroyers and light cruisers are relatively small. A fleet of more than a dozen ships may only have 2 to 3 ships. Destroyer escort, and if it is at night, in the case of extremely low visibility, it is not easy to find submarines. Generally, it is impossible for a fleet to achieve complete light and silence. The submarine is in the dark and the fleet is in the light. We actually have Advantageous."

"When a group of submarines are gathered, some submarines are responsible for the potential destroyers of the other side, and some are responsible for attacking merchant ships. The other side cannot guarantee the safety of the entire fleet at all when the number of frigates is inferior. Of course, if it is such a system for combat, we It takes a period of training and running-in." His Royal Highness thought about it and added.

"Then the German High Seas Fleet's break-off system is completely supported by submarines? Do we need other auxiliary forces? For example, light cruisers overseas or camouflaged assault ships." Wilhelm II was obviously satisfied with His Highness's answer. , But he feels a little regretful for being too single.

"It's possible for light cruisers to break the ties, but if there is no stable port, these cruisers can cause some trouble to the British, but they will eventually be lost quickly. Long sea voyages require more than a lot of supplies. The support of the warship will also make the situation of the warship very bad. The so-called standard speed can't run out at all. The end result is that it is destroyed under the encirclement and suppression of the powerful sea power of the Allies." said.

Although the Emden and Königsberg in history have achieved more brilliant results, especially the former, it intercepted 23 merchant ships and sank 16 ships, causing the British to suffer economic losses of up to 5 million pounds. Under the British siege, this light cruiser also persisted for more than 100 days. Königsberg insisted on a longer time, but that was also because the ship was going upstream along the river and was blocked by the British and could not get out. Then the British shallow-water heavy gunboat was assisted by the aircraft Also killed this cruiser in the inland river.

  According to historical experience, the cruisers that Germany began to spread overseas to carry out destructive warfare, except for one that blew up, were eventually killed by the British Royal Navy. On the contrary, some camouflaged assault ships have been mixed up, such as the famous Sea Eagle and Wolf. The former is a sailing warship that broke the diplomatic relationship at sea, and in the end, if it weren't for an accident, it might still be floating on the sea, while the latter one can better illustrate the results of the disguised assault ship.

First of all, from the record, the cruiser Wolves sank a total of 38,000 tons of various merchant ships. This record does not seem to be high, but don’t forget that the Wolves went out with 458 mines, and in the end, These mines have brought an additional income of nearly 76,000 tons to the Wolf! In this case, this data is very scary! After all, this is an assault ship with a registered tonnage of only 6,000 tons, and it was converted from a very ordinary civilian ship!

  Secondly, in terms of time, this attack ship has been at sea for 452 days! The persistence time is more than 4 times that of the Emden! He also traversed the British blockade twice, and finally successfully returned to the German mainland, and brought back a large amount of strategic materials such as rubber and non-ferrous metals. Judging from the persistence time and the successful return, this has been a miracle.

Therefore, in the view of His Royal Highness, the same investment, the benefits of assault ships are obviously better, because camouflage assault ships have an advantage that regular warships do not have, that is, concealment, a camouflage attack just like ordinary merchant ships. The ship was sailing on the sea, and he didn't show his fangs. Who knows if this is a wolf in sheep's clothing or a harmless sheep?

  At this point~lightnovelpub.net~Earl Luknar’s Seahawk has the most camouflage! No one would have thought that the Germans would use an old sailing ship as a sea raid ship! Look at the things the legendary earl did at sea. At Christmas in 1916, the Seahawk encountered a British auxiliary cruiser, the Avenger. After boarding the ship, the British found a map of Norway and landscape paintings hanging on the wall, which were used by the Earl. Chatting in Norwegian, I even found a letter to my girlfriend, but I didn't find the hidden artillery...

Then the camouflage assault ship also used a fake fire to "seduce" the British merchant ship Howards. The reason for doing so was because the Earl Luknar found that the firepower on the opposite side was too strong and he could not fight it. Then he became the British When people came to rescue people based on humanitarian principles, the Sea Hawk completed the flag-raising shot in a very short time, destroying the opponent's artillery and controlling the battleship before the British could react. Count Luknar wrote a miracle in the history of maritime warfare with his own wisdom, a miracle that used a sailboat to rob opponents in the age of fearlessness and captured hundreds of people!

  Compared to the situation where the German cruisers were seen dead in the open sea during the First World War, the survivability of the German camouflage assault ships was still very strong. Moreover, the camouflage assault ship has one of the biggest advantages, that is, even after the British pull out the blockade, the camouflage assault ship can still run back and forth, while a regular warship is almost impossible.
