Seeing that Wayne had softened, Cheng Hao was about to continue to say something, but the door of the originally closed conference room was opened, and a panicked herald hurriedly shouted: "First mate, the order just sent by His Excellency the Commander, we will turn around immediately, it is said to be an order from Berlin!" The British fleet in the Atlantic Ocean is already rushing towards the Danish Strait in all directions! ”

"Has the British fleet already begun to rush towards us?" Looking at the low-level officers whispering below, Cheng Hao immediately knocked on the table and shouted loudly, "Silence!" ”

The huge Royal Navy has now become sunset, but for the German fleet at this time, it is still no less than a giant beast, the fear of the British fleet and the blood feud from the bones have long been buried in the Second German Reich, the purpose of the huge high seas fleet built by Kaiser Wilhelm II and Admiral Tirbitz is not intended to compete with the Royal Navy, but to deter the British fleet!

The thought of the "fleet of risks" is enough to deter the most powerful navy from destroying it at such a high cost that it would damage its position as a world navy. And the size of the "risk fleet" does not have to be too large, only 2/3 of the available forces of Britain in the North Sea.

In other words, under the premise that Germany has built a large navy, although Britain may still attack it and even win a complete victory, the losses it will suffer will be so great that it will not be able to resist the challenges of other countries in the coming period, and thus may lose its maritime supremacy. After weighing the pros and cons, Britain will accept the fact that Germany has become the second maritime power, a large navy = overseas interests = world power. This was the prevailing thinking at the German top at the time.

The "Risk Fleet Theory" was proposed by Alfray von Tirpitz, the naval marshal of the Second German Reich, and was first used to compare the strength of the British and German navies and their fleets before World War I, and then extended to the national strategic level.

Field Marshal Tirpitz even hoped that the High Seas Fleet, built according to the "risk theory," would serve as a "lever of world policy" so that "the fleet in the North Sea alone could have a global impact without having to commit forces directly anywhere else." At the beginning of the 20th century, almost the entire German naval armament construction program was operated according to the "risk theory".

However, Germany did not have the same glorious naval historical resources as the Anglo-American maritime states, Prussia was good at land warfare, and was also proficient in the modern theory of land warfare based on the Napoleonic Wars, which aimed to force Britain to abandon the idea of launching a new naval battle of Trafalgar by virtue of its relative proximity alone, without the need for a real decisive battle, and then recognize Germany's status as the second naval power.

However, the "risk theory" did not prevent the eventual confrontation between Britain and Germany, and the naval war of 1914-1918 did not give Germany any advantage.

The tragic end of the High Seas Fleet also made the officers who were doing it a little more frightened in anger, but time continued to push forward, and by the time of the Third Reich, the way to contain Britain had become a broken war.

U-boats, the deep-sea assassins who had terrified the Allies since the last world war, once again made U-boats an eternal nightmare in the hearts of British sailors, and after the terrible firepower of the battleships, the nightmare of British merchant ships has awakened again.

After hearing that the Royal Navy had begun to gradually begin to move towards the Danish Strait, the junior officers sitting at the end of the conference room had begun to stir, looking at Cheng Hao, who was speechless, a gunner nervously asked Cheng Hao, "Your Excellency Captain, do you think we ......?"

Cheng Hao smiled faintly and said According to our original plan, we originally planned to enter the depths of the Atlantic Ocean to break the engagement, even if we had to give up because of the British Royal Navy, it would inevitably outweigh the losses.

Moreover, the battleship Bismarck was currently losing too much fuel because it was hit by the Prince of Wales in the Danish naval battle, and there was not enough fuel on the Altmark to replenish it.

Therefore, our top priority is to carry out the orders of Commander Lütjans, and from here, Cheng Hao drew a new route on the basis of the British nautical charts drawn by Hans in his mind.

Then he circled, "There is probably a cargo ship in this position escorted by any escort formation, loaded with a large amount of oil and food destined for the British mainland, our goal is to approach this sea area, and then disguise itself as the Bismarck, and with the cooperation of Al, who is disguised as Bismarck, to plunder, deliberately make the Royal Fleet think that we have been detached, and without the enemy knowing the specific configuration of our fleet, we have been paralyzed and careless, and have divided the small fleet into the Atlantic!" "Then we will be able to reach St. Nazeltius in the Bay of Biscay."

Everyone has no problem, in the face of Cheng Hao, who was talking sparsely, Sebastian, as the first mate, asked suspiciously, "Your Excellency Captain, since it is to replenish the fuel of the battleship Bismarck, why don't you just let the battleship Bismarck go and let us act instead?" ”

Without waiting for Cheng Hao to answer, Bismarck, who was standing on the side, finally spoke, "I believe that the British side has also known about the fact that I have awakened the martial spirit, and the embodied martial spirit is inextricably linked to the body, generally speaking, a small ship like a destroyer will be said to be the image of a child, and a large ship like a battleship will be a mature girl, but because the newly born martial spirit is a child due to mental reasons, in less than a week, Adapt to the hull and the body at the beginning of the incongruity of the martial spirit will enter the secondary development stage, from the juvenile stage, gradually to the growth period, at this time, the body of the martial spirit will be finalized, it is difficult to develop again, but in the gradual battle, the martial spirit will accumulate rich combat experience will enter the mature period, and the mature martial spirit will have a combat skill, which will bring a qualitative change to our martial spirit! ”

"To put it simply, is it decided to determine the appearance of the martial spirit according to the tonnage...... Of course, this is not for sure.,I heard that there is a battleship on the Italian side with a flat-chested little Lori.,But this didn't affect her combat effectiveness.,Although her appearance like a schoolboy.,Let the enemy laugh at it for a long time......"

Looking at Bismarck, who was going to continue, Sebastian didn't speak, but complained in his heart, "It's just that this has anything to do with letting the Tirpitz go to action......" Sebastian, as a subordinate, didn't intend to ask such an idiotic question.

Looking at Wayne, who was silent, Sebastian planned to remain silent and let Bismarck continue.

Sure enough, after seeing that Cheng Hao did not object, Bismarck paused, and then explained to everyone, "Maybe it's because my captain's soul network is very strong, I passed the stage of infancy as soon as I was born, but the British side has only seen me Hans and Hood, who have been captured, so if Al pretends to be me, as long as the operation is done properly, you can spread the fake news that I am still a young ship's mother, in this case, it is also a hole card, captain, that's what you mean, right?" ”

Seeing that Bismarck had already revealed the plan in his heart, Cheng Hao couldn't help but be secretly happy for his Bismarck, "It's very tacit, it's not my Bismarck......"

Cheng Hao, who put the brim of his hat straight, slowly stood up and added to Bismarck's explanation just now, "I will report to His Excellency the Commander about this plan, everyone should go back to their combat posts and stay vigilant at any time!" ”

"Understood, Captain!"
