The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 843: Period of weakness

That's right, if Malaya and War exhaustion were to run into Su Xiong's fleet again, Su Xiong's fleet must have fought. But the question is, can you run into it? This time is going to be delayed, and if the most powerful fast squadron cannot return overseas, then the prince thinks that he is really sorry for the British not to make a big news in the North Sea.

Now, Ruprecht believes that the current situation is very close to his expectations. As long as he determines the next actions of the queens, and then lets Hipper behave more arrogantly, then he can act! As for the British fleet? Hehe, being at the northernmost point of the North Sea naturally blocked the passage of Germany into and out of the Atlantic Ocean, but at the same time, if something happens to the south of the North Sea, will you have time?

The British fleet is distributed in three places, and Jericho's fleet is located in the anchorage in the northernmost Shetland Islands. Betty’s battlecruiser fleet is located in Forth Bay in the middle, and the Halic Fleet and Channel Fleet are located in the south. And this time, the prince planned to find Betty's bad luck. Some people may say that finding Betty will not let the main force of the high seas fleet be dispatched? In the battle of Jutland in history, didn't Hipper just clean up Betty? Had it not been for Thomas, Betty might have died herself.

But in fact, even without Thomas, if the British really want to take offensive actions, then at least one response fleet will be arranged, perhaps a battleship squadron, or two. It is not enough to rely solely on Hipper. After all, no matter how fierce a German warship is, you can't pick two warships of the same level. What's more, how could the prince be willing to seize this opportunity without leaving some profound lessons for the British? Of course, Hipper also has his own mission. The prince will not let the world's most elite battlecruiser formation lie in the harbor!

As for, is this opportunity rare? Naturally rare, even if Su Xiong's fleet survived this catastrophe, it would not be easy for the prince to find such a good opportunity! Some people may say that the British could not let Su Xiong's fleet go. The British left. After Su Xiong's fleet returned, they were two heroes after a few months of repairs. Doesn't the Allied Powers have to divide their forces to deal with?

This is correct. The Allied Powers will continue to deal with it, but this time it may not be the British, but the Japanese! After all, Su Xiong's fleet robbed not only British and French ships, but also cut off a lot of Japanese by the way. After all, if the Allies were unable to win the war, then the German Far Eastern colonies that Japan had eaten before the war were a must I want to spit it out! What if you don't vomit? Do the Japanese deal with virtue at the same time? In history, the Japanese provided escorts to the Allied Powers, but now, the relationship between Japan and Britain and France has become closer. The Japanese are still clear on the issue of national transport!

Therefore, the reason why the prince asked the Admiralty to keep a close eye on the Japanese fleet was this, and even said that the most fundamental reason for the Su Xiong fleet's escape now lies in whether the Japanese responded quickly this time! If the Japanese responded quickly and sent the main force of the combined fleet to the Indian Ocean, then the Su Xiong fleet would really be unable to escape. Wanting to return to the German mainland is no different than idiotic dreams. The best result is to go to a neutral port, sink the warship, wait for the neutral country to take it in, and then wait until the war is over. Or how many more Japanese warships were destroyed in a certain naval battle?

Of course, this probability is not high. The Su Xiong fleet is now considered ferocious. If the queens are lions, then the Su Xiong fleet is at least a tiger, and the Japanese King Kong and his ilk are also a leopard. Even a tiger with a slight injury, a leopard may not be able to retreat completely. Therefore, the Japanese will definitely hesitate, and the senior officials of the Japanese Navy will definitely consider the question of "what if a warship is broken".

By the way, there is another problem, and that is the exchange of benefits. In order to "employ" the Bavarian Legion, the Austro-Hungarian Empire gave Princess Mary the position of a powerful duke and Bohemia and Moravia. If the British want to "employ" the Japanese combined fleet, what price should they offer? The prince is not sure, but the prince is sure that this price will definitely be much higher than what Fritz gave to Bavaria! And this kind of transfer of interests can't be done in two sentences!

"Then do you have any instructions for the Su Xiong fleet?" asked the navy officer who was in charge of the contact.

"They have done a good job, and I can't ask for more from them. As long as the two warships don't fall into the hands of the Allied Powers in the end, it's fine. At the same time, let them be wary of the Japanese." The prince replied very simply. "In addition, I hope the East African side can be prepared to deal with it, such as supplies and some basic maintenance."

"Are you sure that General Su Xiong will take the fleet to East Africa?" the officer asked curiously.

"Maybe, maybe not, but it's always right to be prepared. If it doesn't work, the Suxiong fleet can leave the Indian Ocean and some neutral country in the Americas can wait for the end of the war. Well, so be it."

"Yes, let me add one more thing. Don’t we still have some ships with American flags? I hope they can move ~lightnovelpub.net~ to help Su Xiong’s fleet as much as possible. I remember these ships have Enni on board. Let’s consider activating the cipher machine."

Ruprecht is also considered to have done the best for Su Xiong and his fleet, providing supplies and support as much as possible. Regardless of the end, the prince can also say that he has a clear conscience. As for whether Su Xiong's fleet can escape, it really depends on their own level and luck.

It is impossible for the prince to continue to pay attention to the situation of the Su Xiong fleet, because now, or in the near future, the drama in Beihai is about to begin! For this reason, the prince had to put aside his work, and at the same time bid farewell to his family and went to Kiel Port. The prince who had commanded several land battles this time was going to command naval battles and experience "a country can be determined in a few hours." The pleasure of fate!

At the same time, on Thomas’s new flagship Malaya, Thomas, who had been exhausted during the day’s battle, did not take a rest, because just half an hour ago, Major General Kuhl arrived. On the Malaya, the major admiral, who was supporting him in name but actually speaking directly to the Admiralty, came at this time, but it was very meaningful. He even said that his own answer and the opinions of Major General Kurt will directly determine the future action of hunting the fleet and the Royal Navy's evaluation of himself.

If Thomas wants to continue to complete the unfinished things of this battle, then he must be approved by Major General Kurt, at least let him uphold his neutrality!
