The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 805: Plan and act

"If this is the case, I hope to talk about this topic again tomorrow. I feel a little dizzy tonight. And I need to prepare a lot of things." Although I drank a lot. But Ruprecht could be considered an "alcohol killer," and there was a noise next door, so there must be someone. And it would be those people who listened to the conversation between the emperor and a crown prince about the navy. Isn't this a lice on a bald head, is it obvious? Rather than say this anymore, both sides are embarrassed. It's better to talk about it tomorrow.

"Uh, well, it is indeed late today. At nine o'clock tomorrow morning, people from the Admiralty will come with all things related to the navy. Today is really not suitable for talking about these more troublesome topics." Realizing that the prince might have discovered something, it was obviously not good to continue talking at this time, so he agreed with the prince's request with a little embarrassment. Continue to talk the next day.

At nine o'clock the next morning, when the prince entered the conference hall on time, he saw a haggard Tirpitz, a depressed General von Boll, and Major General Hipper, commander of the fast fleet. As for Admiral Liao Le and Scheer, the former led the naval office and was mainly responsible for administration, while the latter had to look at the fleet.

After the Kaiser and other participants were seated, the first item of the meeting officially began-the Secretary of State of the Navy Tirpitz to elaborate his limited combat theory. After all, whether it is for the Kaiser or the Kaiser to hand over this document to the prince, it is a private act. Other people attending the meeting, such as the Prime Minister of the Empire, Xiao Moqi and others, are not clear, so I need to explain to them.

"After learning the lessons of the last Helgeland Gulf battle, I think the Imperial Navy should respond to the actions of the British in a more proactive manner. And when the overall strength is weaker than the British, we should give full play to the first The role of the reconnaissance fleet is to mobilize the British navy by continuously attacking British coastal areas."

"We are all aware of the deployment of the British fleet. The main force of the large fleet is deployed in the Shetland Islands, blocking the northern part of the North Sea. The English Channel is mainly a variety of old battleships used to defend the strait. In addition, they are in There are also two fast fleets deployed between the north and the south, one is the Harwich light cruiser formation with Harwich as its home port, and the other is the Betty fleet, which has been active, with the most elite battle cruisers of the British Empire in his hands."

"So the fleet participating in the attack can only be the fast fleet of General Hipper, the first reconnaissance fleet can easily deal with the light cruisers of the Harwich fleet, and the battlecruisers have enough speed to choose to evacuate before the arrival of the enemy main fleet. If conditions permit, we can also lure the British fleet to offshore minefields, submarine ambush areas or main fleet ambush areas to annihilate them." Tirpitz said.

Ten minutes later, Tirpitz finally finished his general plan. Simply put, it was harassment, and then let the British divide their forces, and finally used ambushes to destroy part of the opponent's fleet, thereby gradually reversing the disadvantage of the navy capital ship. Well, very good, exactly the same as in history...

"Very proactive, at least more proactive than the original plan, but there are many questionable issues with this strategy." The prince has already been able to determine who was next door last night, so there is no need to worry about that much.

"How many fast ships are there in the British?" the prince asked first.

"They have a total of 4 super-dreadnought battlecruisers, namely Tiger, Lion, Grand Princess, Queen Mary, and 6 fearless battlecruisers. If you count the Queen Elizabeth-class fast battleships, then they are now There are 14 fast battleships in total."

"That's the problem. Betty, as the commander of the rank of lieutenant general of the fast fleet, then he can mobilize at least 2 battlecruiser squadrons, that is, at least 6 ships. From a quantitative point of view, the British fleet is larger than ours. , And the British light warships also have an advantage. If their capital ships attack, they can build a cordon. And once Betty chooses to attack, especially when the battlefield is set in the British coast, the big fleet can’t do nothing. Battleships with more than two dozen British battleships are likely to participate. So where will our support fleet be? How will the coordination between the two sides be handled?" the prince asked.

As the dominant side, the British, especially Jericho, are also known for their stability. They will never break their huge fleet into small pieces. Take the Battle of Dogel Sandbar as an example. In addition to intelligence issues, there is also a big gap between the deployment of the two sides in this battle. From a neutral point of view, the Germans defeated this time and could sink a Brygge. Schell, this is the result of luck and Hipper's proper command!

Let me talk about the history of the German High Seas Fleet's then commander von Ingenor. This buddy just inferred that the British fleet was carrying out coal refueling operations and was unable to sail because the British fleet had just made a cruise a few days ago. Then, when the Hipper fleet was about to be dispatched, the main force of the German High Seas Fleet was still fighting soy sauce in the Baltic Sea! Please ~lightnovelpub.net~The most elite fast battleship in the German fleet went out like this. There is no boss behind. Should you say that you are too confident or too second? ! Or did Ingenor throw a coin and bet that Hipper could not touch the British fleet?

Well, let's look at what the British do. Let alone Betty’s first and second battlecruiser squadrons and Gudinaf’s light cruiser squadrons. They naturally started from Roses and headed north, and the Harwich fleet to the south also began to go north, searching for the German fleet. Moreover, the British felt that it was unsafe to do so and pulled out 6 former dreadnoughts. Then the large fleet also began to move south. Basically, it can be said that as soon as Betty acted, the entire British navy moved up. Even if there was a problem, Betty had a large fleet behind him, and there would be no major problems. (Although the actual fleet is coming very late, it is difficult to catch up with the battle)

In the end, however, everyone knows that Hipper’s 3 battle cruisers and 1 installation patrol were attacked by Betty’s 5 battle cruisers. The two sides fought at 9 a.m. and Hipper asked for support. In fact, in addition to sending a clear telegram to Hipper to scare the British, the powerful High Seas Fleet even before 2:30 in the afternoon. Can't leave Yard Bay at all! Isn't this cheating?

Although Ingenor is no longer the commander of the High Seas Fleet on this plane, the state of the German fleet is still not good, because the Kaiser still has doubts about the use of the fleet. And this scruples caused most of the German battleships to be imprisoned in the harbor, and they started to restrain themselves.
