Chapter 854: Bold

"Okay, Scheer, wait for me, I'll be over in a moment. The prince hesitated for a moment, then said to Scheer, who was waiting.www.biquge.info "If there's something to say, we can say it in a meeting instead of working it out through a private exchange." The prince glanced at Hipper, and said with a slight dissatisfaction.

The prince knew very well that what Hipper said would never be passed at a formal meeting, otherwise, he would not have to find himself, if it was a private matter, the prince would help it, it was no big deal. But if it comes to a change of plans. Even with the status and status of a prince, there are some responsibilities that cannot be assumed.

"Your Excellency Tirpitz has some truth in what he said, we may be able to sink a lot of auxiliary cruisers in this attack, but we are still unable to completely tear down this blockade, and we cannot continue to exert pressure." Hipper said carefully. "So we wanted to change our plans."

"Then you should have made it clear at the meeting just now." The prince said with a frown, and said in his heart, that it was so. Hipper, too, is really uncomfortable. Historically, Hippel was known for his aggressiveness, and in addition to the well-known Battle of Dogle Sandbank and the Battle of Jutland, in fact, the closest naval battle to victory in history became the German High Seas Fleet - in the bombardment of Yorkshire.

The German High Seas Fleet 14 Dreadnoughts and 8 Ex Dreadnoughts almost encountered the British 6 Super Dreadnoughts and 4 Battle Cruisers. Ingnoll retreated early and missed the opportunity. The outbreak of the naval battle this time was also the result of Hipper's persuasion of the former, so, in the prince's opinion, Hipper's offensive nature was actually stronger than that of other German admirals! And what Hipper has to say to the prince now is probably the kind of risky move that will never be approved in a meeting!

"Okay, let's not talk about it, what you want to tell me is that you plan to let me help you take the blame?" The prince sat back in his place, his hands forming a triangle and placing it on his chin.

"That's kind of a point." Hipper said with some embarrassment.

"Well, let's talk about it, what are your plans?" The prince said.

"Lieutenant Commander Edelman, the captain of the Cedritz, made a suggestion that, while somewhat risky, would be able to inflict sustained damage on the blockade line in the North Sea." Hipper said. "After the completion of the task of the fleet, Lieutenant Colonel Edelman wants to continue to stay with his battleship in the North Sea blockade line and the Norwegian Sea, on combat duty."

"What are you kidding? After we fought Betty, the Grand Fleet could return to Shetland Islands regardless of whether it won or lost, and you asked him to take a warship to hunt down the British warships just over 100 kilometers from the Grand Fleet base, do you really think the British are blind? The prince was also taken aback by the plans of Hipperle and his younger brother!

"We're not going to do it during the day. That's looking for death. Lieutenant Colonel Edelman wasn't that stupid. Hipper said. During the day, we would hide in the Norwegian Sea, or in one of Norway's bays along its winding coastline. Then wait until it gets dark before entering the blockade. ”

"We camouflage the shape of the battleship, and at night in the North Sea, it is difficult to tell whether the opponent is a battleship or a large ship by the shape of a ship."

"We studied the capture process of the British, and they usually chose to approach the target ship and then give the other side a five-minute selection time, and at the same time send people to board the ship in small boats."

"But as far as I know, after we attacked with camouflage cruisers and submarines, they have changed their ways." The prince frowned and interrupted Hipper.

"Yes, the plan was changed, but since the British could not attack neutral ships at will, their so-called change was nothing more than grouping two auxiliary cruisers, one of which was on guard at a distance and the other was auxiliary boarding. And this change was no threat to our battlecruisers, and in no more than 10 minutes we were enough to send them to sea. And the auxiliary cruisers of the British were not armed with torpedoes. Hipper said.

"Please, can you be sure that the British could not distinguish between battle cruisers and merchant ships? More than 200 meters of the Cedritz. The prince still thinks Hippert is fooling.

"You should trust our camouflage skills, this is the disguised Cedritz, you can take a look." As he spoke, Hipper pulled out a photograph. And began to introduce: "We added a false chimney, and at the same time erected a partition next to the main gun turret, so that it was connected to the bridge position, so that at night, it looked like a large ship from a distance, and when used, the baffle could be lowered to reveal the firing range." After the fight, you can put it up again ....... ”

"And even if two ships are inspected, the auxiliary cruiser in charge of vigilance will not exceed the target ship by 5000 meters, and at such a distance, there is no need to aim at all, even at night, the lights on the opposing ship are enough to guide us to the target, and it is very easy for our gunners to hit such a target. All it takes is a salvo to take out your opponent cleanly! Hipper insisted.

"Well, to answer my other question, how can you guarantee that you will find the British? And how can you guarantee that the British will not send your information out? To solve these two problems, I agree with your plan. "The prince has a deeper understanding of Hipper's obsession.

"How the British find the merchant ships of a neutral country at night, we will find the British." Hipper's answer was very artistic.

"yes, that makes sense!" The prince also remembered that it was the British who came to the Germans, and not the Germans to the British! How to say, for example, the British auxiliary cruiser is equivalent to the chengguan of the North Sea! Day and night, they patrol the blockade and crack down on all kinds of smuggling peddlers. Not to mention that the efficiency is not bad, during the entire 1st World War, this chengguan team searched 12,979 merchant ships. But only 642 ...... escaped the net. In other words, 95.9% of the small traders were searched by the chengguan ....... With this efficiency, there is no need to worry that Cedritz can't find the British! You'll always be able to run into it!

The Cedritz was like a tiger in a cow's hide, and then when the sheepdogs came up to inspect it, it suddenly burst out and killed the opponent's ...... in an instant.

"As for the problem of radio communications, if it had been a month ago, we would have had no way, but now we have a completely new jamming device, and one of the models is specifically aimed at the communication frequencies of the British auxiliary cruisers. Maybe the British will have a way in the future, but certainly not now! Hippert said confidently.

"Something that comes out for the first time is usually going to work well." The prince's words are tantamount to agreeing with Hipper's words, which is also tantamount to agreeing with Hipper's plan in disguise.
