The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 850: Road to War II

"Well, now that the queens have been eliminated from the battle sequence, the enemies we are about to face are very limited. We have the advantage on the scene, and the rest is to transform the advantage into actual results. So now, I hope that General Hipper can first introduce the situation of Betty's fleet and the situation of the Royal Navy on the east coast of England."

"In general, our first two cruises were very smooth. Whether it was bombarding the port or conducting mine-laying, we received almost no interference and solved a light cruiser. But from the third time on, the British began to take precautions. , The third time we met, we saw each other from a distance. The fourth time they were almost able to catch up with us, as for the most recent time, the British Super Intrepid battlecruiser successfully bit my tail, but unfortunately I was beaten back." Hipper said here, causing a roar of laughter from the participants.

"So judging from the current situation, the British seem to be able to grasp the context of our actions. The easiest thing to see is probably the refueling ship that arrives regularly before departure, and then it may be that the other party has the naval port of Kiel. Inside. Of course, there is another possibility of submarine reconnaissance. Light cruisers are impossible. Our battle cruisers are often dispatched, and the Harwich fleet dare not approach us anymore.” Hipper finished speaking and looked at the prince.

"The loopholes in the tanker were left deliberately by us. We always need to let the British know when we will come out. The goal of our campaign is to attract the British to fight. If the two sides cannot run into it, it is a very important issue for us. A big loss. So, we must make the British think they can master our plan of action, let them confidently arrange an ambush. Let them be willing to fight us. Now it seems that the British have achieved this. "

"However, we still have to prevent the British from obtaining our information from other channels. Therefore, the anti-intelligence work around the William Naval Port must be carried out. We can use new radio jamming equipment and positioning equipment, and wire communications such as telephones must also pay attention. , In short, I hope that when the fleet is operating, apart from the telegraph of the Navy Department, there will be no other radio waves above us!"

"The submarine problem is really troublesome. In addition to increasing the anti-potential of surface submarines and airships, I think we can slightly adjust the layout of the minefields, especially near our departure routes, where we need to deploy some defensive minefields." said the prince. .

   "This will cause trouble for the port fleet." Admiral Ball said.

   "Schel, is there a problem with your fleet?" The prince turned to Schel and said.

   "As long as there is a detailed Bray map, there is no problem. It may delay some time." Scheer replied sternly.

   "Then deploy, we have only one chance, and we can't be too careful." The prince decided. "I will stop here for counter-reconnaissance, and then I will provide you with a document, and you can just follow the above. As for supplies, I hope that the two battleship detachments of General Scheer can be completed within a week. For all maintenance and supply operations, our actions have entered a countdown."

   "No problem, there are already three warships in good condition, and the remaining three can enter the dock tomorrow, and then undergo thorough maintenance and maintenance." Admiral Ball said. In order to paralyze the British, while the Hipper fleet frequently appeared in the offshore waters of Britain, the main force of the German High Seas Fleet frequently took action in the Baltic Sea!

  Regular fleet actions can increase the morale of officers and soldiers, while fleet actions that are not dangerous can greatly increase the morale of officers and soldiers... The action in the Baltic Sea is like this, Admiral Essen is indeed a great man. But it is a pity that the Russian navy is not strong, the equipment is not strong, the logistics is not strong, and the people are not strong... Judging from its current form, the High Seas Fleet has moved its offensive minefield to the gate of the Gulf of Riga. And now the main force of the Russian fleet can only nest in the Gulf of Finland...

  And as the main force of the next operation, the Scheer fleet naturally has to pick up the battleship before the action. The prince does not want a fleet to sail, and then a certain battleship suddenly drops a propeller...

  "How does General Hipper think about the combat effectiveness of the British battlecruisers?" Tirpitz suddenly spoke at this moment.

   "To be honest, if the battlefield is not too close to the UK, and the British reinforcement fleet, my fleet will have no problem killing Betty." Hipper gave a cruel smile. "If General Su Xiong's telegram can be delivered before my last voyage, I will definitely fight the British."

There is a reason why Hipper is so confident. He has a total of 5 battlecruisers. Among them, the Mochi, Goben, and Cedric have the same armament as the Scharnhorst, and the Scharnhorst can If the queen is severely injured, then Mochi and his like want to kill the lion and tiger whose defense is far weaker than that of the queen. Naturally, they will be able to catch it~lightnovelpub.net~ Although Mochi's defense is worse than that of Scharnhorst, Hipper's With the 13.5-inch and 12-inch guns facing the British, it is no problem to block them. As for the von der Tann and the Blücher, their opponents were the first generation battle cruisers of the British, and naturally there was no pressure at all.

Su Xiong’s telegram filled Hipper with confidence, and at the same time made him feel very regretful. If he ran slower last time and there were no warships in the distance of the British, if he and Betty were fighting, the scene was absolutely nice! But unfortunately, now the opportunity is gone, not only because it is not him who will go offshore in the next stage, but more importantly, as long as the British should also receive the battle report, as long as they are not stupid, they will definitely re-evaluate the combat power of German warships!

   "It seems that the combat power of the Hipper fleet is enough to deal with Betty." The subtext in Tirpitz's words is that since the battlecruiser formation is already very powerful, then don't mobilize the main fleet. What if so many warships go out and something happens....

"If only to teach the British, we don't have to prepare for so long. The key to war lies in annihilation! Thomas can take the risk to disperse the fleet for complete annihilation, if we just let the Hipper fleet beat Betty. If yes, then, is your vision too bad?" The prince looked at Tirpitz next to him and looked at Scheer who was still talking.
