Chapter 850: The Road to War 2
"Well, now that the queens have been removed from the battle sequence, the enemies we are about to face are limited, we have the advantage on the field, and all that remains is to turn the advantage into actual results. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Now, I would like Admiral Hippel to give a brief introduction to the situation of Betty's fleet and the situation of the British Royal Navy on the east coast of England. ”
"Overall, our first two cruises went very well, whether it was shelling the harbor or laying mines, with little interference, and we were able to deal with a light cruiser. But from the third time, the British began to take precautions, and the third time we met, we saw each other from a distance. The fourth time they almost caught up with us, and the most recent time, the British dreadnought battlecruisers managed to bite my tail, but unfortunately they were beaten back. Hipper said this, causing laughter from the attendees.
"As things stand, it seems that the British have been able to grasp the veins of our movements, the easiest of which is probably the bunkering ships that arrive at regular intervals before departure, and then perhaps the other side has an internal line at the naval port of Kiel. Of course, there is also the possibility of submarine reconnaissance, light cruisers are impossible, our battle cruisers are often dispatched, and the Harwich fleet does not dare to approach us anymore. Hipper finished and looked at the prince.
"The hole in the tanker is deliberately left by us, we always need to let the British know when we will come out, our campaign goal is to attract the British to come out and fight, if the two sides can't meet, it will be a big loss for us. So, we have to make the British think they can master our plan of action, and give them the confidence to arrange an ambush. Make them willing to fight us. Now it seems that the British did just that. ”
"However, we still have to prevent the British from obtaining our information from other sources, so we must pay close attention to the counter-espionage work around William Naval Port, we can use new radio jamming equipment and positioning equipment, and we should also pay attention to wired communications such as telephones, in short, I hope that when the fleet is moving, there will be no other radio waves in our skies except for the telegram from the Admiralty!"
"The submarine problem is really troublesome, in addition to increasing the anti-submarine power of surface submarines and airships, I think the arrangement of the mine field can be slightly adjusted, especially near the route of our departure, some defensive minefields need to be deployed." The prince said.
"This will cause problems for the fleet in the port." Admiral Pol said.
"Scheer, is there something wrong with your fleet?" The prince turned to Scheer.
"As long as there is a detailed breto, there is no problem. There may be some delays. Sher replied.
"Then deploy, we only have one chance, and we can't be too careful." The prince made a decision. "That's all I have to say about counter-investigation, and then I will provide you with a document, and you can just follow the above. As for the replenishment, I hope that General Scheer's two battleship detachments can complete all maintenance and replenishment operations within a week, and our operation has entered the countdown. ”
"No problem, there are already 3 battleships in good condition, and the remaining three will be able to enter the dock tomorrow and then carry out thorough care and maintenance." Admiral Pol said. In order to paralyze the British, while the Hipper's fleet frequently appeared in the British coastal waters, the main forces of the German high seas fleet frequently attacked in the Baltic Sea!
Regular fleet operations can boost the morale of officers and men, while fleet operations that are not dangerous can greatly improve the morale of officers and men....... And the operation in the Baltic is like this, Admiral Essen is really a bull man. But it's a pity that the Russian Navy is not powerful, the equipment is not powerful, the logistics are not powerful, and the people are not very powerful....... Judging by the current form, the High Seas Fleet has already brought the offensive minefield to the gates of the Gulf of Riga. And now the main forces of the Russian fleet can only ...... in the Gulf of Finland.
And the Scheer fleet, which is the main force of the next operation, naturally has to pick up the battleships before the operation, and the prince does not want the fleet to sail and then a certain battleship suddenly drops a propeller or something....... (This is true, the Moltke has fallen--! )
"What did General Hipper think about the combat effectiveness of the British battle cruisers?" At this time, Tirpitz suddenly spoke.
"To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that the battlefield was too close to the British, and the British reinforcement fleet, my fleet would not have had a problem taking out Betty at all." Hippert gave a somewhat cruel smile. "If General Suxiong'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 battle cruisers under his command, among which Moltke, Goburn, and Cedritz are the same armament as the Scharnhorst, and the Scharnhorst can hit the queen hard, so Moltke and his ilk want to kill the lion and tiger whose defense is far weaker than the queen, although Moltke's defense is worse than that of Scharnhorst, but Hipper's use is the same as the British's 13.5-inch guns and 12-inch guns, and it is no problem to block them. As for the Von der Thanen and the Blucher, their opponents were the first generation 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 the last time, he ran slower, and the British did not appear in the distance, if he and Betty PK, the scene would definitely be good! But it's a pity that now the opportunity is gone, not only because it is not he who will go to the British coast 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 reassess the combat power of the German battleships!
"It seems that the combat power of the Hipper's fleet is more than enough to deal with Betty." The subtext in Tirpitz's words was that since the battle cruiser formation was already very powerful, then there should be no more mobilization of the main fleet. What if something happens to so many warships......
"If it were just to teach the British a lesson, we wouldn't have to prepare for so long, the key to war is annihilation! Thomas can risk spreading out his fleet in order to annihilate it, and if we just let Hipper's fleet beat Betty, then wouldn't you be too distracted? The prince looked at Tirpitz next to him, and then at Scher, who was about to speak.
