The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 807: Blocking and Anti-Secondary Locking

And because of the existence of these super transport ships, the channels through which Germany obtains supplies from outside have not been shut down, and even if these ships are found, it doesn’t matter if they are caught, because they are ships from neutral countries, and because they are American ships. , So the British people at most are forced to buy, and then let them go! Moreover, the British would never dare to directly act on ships flying the American flag at this time.

Of course, relying solely on these fast sea cruises is not enough, so the prince also created another channel when designing the anti-blockade plan. This channel is to buy supplies through the neutral countries of Denmark and the Netherlands, but unfortunately, The materials from these two countries need to pass through the North Sea before they can be transported. The British are not stupid to set quotas based on the total amount of import and export goods in peacetime between the two countries, and directly detain the excess parts!

Merchant ships heading to these two countries are strictly supervised by the British navy. The entrance to the North Sea is too narrow and too close to the British fleet! Therefore, the environment is completely different from the vast Norwegian Sea, and the success rate is too low if you want to force it....

And now, the decrease in imported materials in Germany is largely due to the British material restrictions on the Netherlands and Denmark and the inspection of the fleet. This is what the prince is most worried about now. When the prince saw it, it broke or weakened the north. This blockade is far more important than killing one or two British warships. It is more meaningful than going to the British to bombard undefended ports!

"His Royal Highness Ruprecht said that the British blockade is the most important problem to be solved. This is more appropriate than wasting thousands of tons of coal and precious ammunition to blow up a few buildings." Xiao Mao Singularity nodded and agreed with what the prince said. In fact, from an economic point of view, this kind of attack is really not very cost-effective.... And as a high-level German army, he has now felt the impact of the blockade on the German economy!

"But if we can't severely damage the British fleet, then how do we break the open sea blockade? We can't take the fleet to attack the northern blockade, it's tantamount to hitting the muzzle of the large fleet! So we need to weaken the large fleet first, and then Consider breaking the blockade again..." Tirpitz explained quickly.

"What's the reason? It's one way to face the opponent, but it's not the only way. Have you ever played ar3? Orcs running wolves, human tank planes, and dark mines are not all tactics used when the front is not good enough. Do you know why immortality is the weakest? It's because immortality can only be tough! Can't open mines, and the race that can't be demolished can't hurt you!" The prince frantically complained.

Of course, what made the prince even more unbearable was that the German fleet already had the capital to run! The speed of the entire fleet is over 24 knots! At least 3 knots higher than the average speed of the British fleet! It's as if you are already riding a wolf with a tauren level 3 halo on your side. Opposite is a human level 5 Dafa hill with 80 men and women breaking the law. You don't want to run a wolf ride, but you want to go straight? What do you want?

"Even if the fast fleet is used to attack the British cruisers at the exit of the North Sea, it is very difficult, and the key is that the risk is still a bit high. After all, even if the British fleet is slower and the speed is slower, the British also have a large number of battlecruisers. Yes, if you run into an advantageous opponent in the distant seas, the situation is unimaginable part-time. Have you ever thought about this problem?" Tirpitz defended.

"I have thought about it, I have thought about almost all the problems! And as early as the beginning of the war, I have made relevant preparations, I am afraid that you will lose the chain by then! What you call the problem of the number of British fast battleships I have already Considered! And soon it is estimated that there will be a result!" The prince raised another document in his hand.

"Have you seen? Major General Su Xiong's Indian Ocean Squadron just killed a transport fleet two days ago, captured 3 transport ships, and sank 5! It is estimated that the total tonnage lost by the Allied Powers is close to 40,000 tons! A large amount of materials have been seized! This is the second time this week. The neutral nation fleet has refused to transport supplies for the Allies in the Indian Ocean. And now the entire Indian Ocean does not deliberately match the existence of this fleet!"

"Think about it, India, as the most brilliant diamond in the crown of the British Empire, cannot function when the British people need it most. Look at the Indian Ocean, India’s black tea and cotton, Australia’s wool and iron ore, and Malaya’s Tin ore and bananas, coffee from East Africa, etc. all need to be transported through the Indian Ocean routes! And now, this important artery for Britain is constantly bleeding. Don't you think the British should do something?" The prince said in a tone that hates iron but not steel.

"You mean, the British will do it? And 80% will mobilize the fast fleet to deal with Major General Su Xiong's Indian Ocean Squadron? So as to facilitate our actions in the North Sea?" Tirpitz finally understood something.

"Yes, and it will be a great convenience. The fleet that threatens us the most in the British fast fleet may go south to the Indian Ocean in the near future, or it is already on the journey to the Indian Ocean! And they want to be in the vastness. It will take a long time to kill these two warships in the Indian Ocean~lightnovelpub.net~," the prince said.

"But we don't know the British will send those warships."

"Use your mind, we only need to consider the worst case. We have 2 fast battleships in the Indian Ocean. If the British want to use battlecruisers against them, they must send at least 4 ships. If there are three ships, I am looking forward to the outcome of this battle, even if it is a lion and tiger. In other words, if the British dispatched battlecruisers, then the number of super fearless in this fleet cannot be more than three. , This is equivalent to taking away almost all the Super Fearless Battle Cruisers, and if it is a combination of Super Fearless and Fearless Battle Cruisers, then the combat effectiveness is too poor. Less than 3 ships is entirely Su Xiong's advantage."

"However, the number of caps will generally not exceed 5. The British have a total of 10 battlecruisers. Taking into account the maintenance situation, their generally available battleships will be up to 8. The large fleet will inevitably leave a battlecruiser. The detachment undertakes the reconnaissance mission, and then there is the Betty fleet deployed in Roses, so it is impossible for the British to draw more than 5 warships to the Mediterranean."

"Well, from the point of view of the British, in order to ensure that the Su Xiong fleet is killed, there is only one safest way! That is to mobilize the Queen Elizabeth-class fast battleships! The 15-inch guns of these battleships are better than battle cruisers. The 13.5-inch gun is more powerful! The defense is better. Although the speed is slower, it also has a speed of 25 knots. But only 3 queens can suppress Su Xiong!” The prince analyzed.
