And it is precisely because of the existence of these super transport ships that Germany's channels for obtaining supplies from the outside have not been closed, and even if these ships are discovered and caught, it doesn't matter, because they are ships from neutral countries to neutral countries, and because they are ships of Americans, the British at most do forced purchases, and then release people! Moreover, the British would never dare to do anything directly against the ships flying the American flag at sea at this time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Of course, it is not enough to rely solely on these fast cruise ships at sea, so the prince also made another channel when designing the anti-blockade plan, which is to buy materials through the neutral countries of Denmark and the Netherlands, but unfortunately, the materials of these two countries need to pass through the North Sea to arrive, and the British are not stupid to limit the quota according to the total amount of import and export goods between the two countries in peacetime, and directly detain the excess part!

And the merchant ships going to these two countries were strictly regulated by the British Navy, the entrance to the North Sea was too narrow, and it was 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 break hard.......

And now, the decline in German imports was largely due to British material restrictions on the Netherlands and Denmark and the inspection of the fleet, which was what the prince was most worried about now, and in the prince's view, breaking or weakening the blockade to the north was far more important than taking out one or two British warships. It also makes a lot more sense than going to the British to shell an undefended port!

"His Highness Ruprecht has a point, the British blockade is the most important problem to be solved, and it is much more appropriate than wasting thousands of tons of coal and precious ammunition to blow up a few buildings." Moltke nodded and agreed with what the prince said. In fact, from an economic point of view, this kind of attack is really not a cost-effective ....... And as the top of the German army, the impact of the blockade on the German economy is already being felt!

"But if we can't inflict heavy damage on the British fleet, then how can we break the blockade of the far seas? It is impossible for us to attack the blockade line in the north with the fleet, which is equivalent to hitting the guns of the Grand Fleet! So we need to weaken the Grand Fleet first, and then think about breaking the blockade ....... Tirpitz quickly explained.

"What is the reasoning? It's one way to go head-to-head with your opponent, but it's not the only way, have you ever played WAR3? Aren't the beasts running wolves, the Terran tanks and planes, and the dark night chaotic mines all tactics used when the front is just over? Any idea why not to die the weakest? It's because you can't die, you can only be tough! You can't open a mine, and you can't afford to hurt a race that can't be dismantled! The prince complained frantically in his heart.

Of course, what made the prince even more unbearable was that the German fleet already had the capital to run! The speed of the whole fleet is more than 24 knots! That's at least 3 knots faster than the average speed of the Great Fleet! It's like you're already riding a wolf with a third-level aura of a minotaur on your side, and on the opposite side is a human level 5 Dafa hill with a population of 80 law-breaking dogs and men, you don't want to run a wolf ride, and you still want to just face it? What do you think?

"It was very difficult to sneak up on a British cruiser at the exit of the North Sea even with a fast fleet, and the point was that the risk was still a bit high. After all, even if the British Grand Fleet would be slower and the speed of the voyage would be slower, the British also had a large number of battle cruisers, and if they met an advantageous opponent in the open sea, the situation would be unimaginable. Have you ever thought about this question? Tirpitz argued.

"I've thought about it all, I've thought about almost everything! And as early as the beginning of the war, I had already made relevant preparations, I was afraid that you would drop the chain when the time came! I have already considered the question of the number of British fast warships that you are called! And it is estimated that there will be results soon! The prince waved another document in his hand.

"See? Rear Admiral Su Xiong's Indian Ocean detachment just wiped out a convoy 2 days ago, capturing 3 transports and sinking 5! It is estimated that the total tonnage lost by the Entente is close to 40,000 tons! A large amount of supplies were seized. This is already the second time this week. The neutral fleet had already refused to transport supplies for the Allies in the Indian Ocean. And now the entire Indian Ocean is not deliberately matched by the existence of this fleet! ”

"Think about it, India, the most brilliant diamond in the crown of the British Empire, could not function when the British needed it most. Looking at the Indian Ocean, black tea and cotton from India, wool iron ore from Australia, tin ore and bananas from Malaya, coffee from East Africa, etc., all need to be transported through the Indian Ocean routes! And now, this vital artery for Britain is bleeding constantly. Don't you think the British should do something? The prince said in a tone of hatred that iron does not make steel.

"You mean that the British will do it? And eighty percent will mobilize the fast fleet to deal with Rear Admiral Su Xiong's Indian Ocean detachment? Thus facilitating our actions in the North Sea? Tirpitz finally understood.

"That's right, and it will be a great convenience, the fleet of the British fast fleet, which poses the greatest threat to us, may go south to the Indian Ocean in the near future, or has already embarked on a journey to the Indian Ocean! And if they want to take out these two warships in the vast Indian Ocean, it will take quite a long time. The prince said.

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

"Use your brain, we just need to consider the worst case scenario, we have 2 fast battleships in the Indian Ocean, if the British want to use battle cruisers against them, they will send at least 4, if it is three, even if it is a lion and tiger, I am also looking forward to the outcome of this battle, that is, if the British send battle cruisers, then the number of super dreadnoughts in this fleet cannot be more than 3, which is equivalent to siphoning out almost all the super dreadnought battle cruisers, And if it is a mixture of super dreadnoughts and dreadnoughts, then the combat effectiveness is too poor. Less than 3 ships are completely Suxiong's advantage. ”

"However, the number of caps is generally not more than 5, the British have a total of 10 battle cruisers, considering the maintenance situation, they generally have around 8 battleships, the Grand Fleet will inevitably leave a battle cruiser detachment to undertake reconnaissance missions, and then there is the Betty fleet deployed in Rosyth, so it is impossible for the British to draw more than 5 battle cruisers to the Mediterranean."

"Well, from the point of view of the British, in order to ensure that this Suxiong fleet is killed, then there is only one safest way! That's to mobilize the Queen Elizabeth-class fast battleships! The 15-inch guns of these battleships are more powerful than the 13.5-inch guns of the battlecruisers! The defense is better, although it is slower, but it also has a speed of 25 knots. But as long as there are 3 queens, Su Xiong can already be suppressed! The prince analyzed.
