"I'll talk about that later, we're not here to discuss the laws of war and whether or not to observe them, but I want to come up with a practical plan to break the engagement. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Perhaps seeing your difficulties, Wilhelm II decided to change the topic and continue the discussion.

"Okay, let's move on to the next topic." Ruprecht and **** said that this is not a problem for **** to avoid the problem, because the situation has not happened yet, it is difficult to say what the result will be, and even if there is a war in history, it is not a submarine attack that will lead to the United States entering the war. More on that later. (Some people may say that the protagonist is too weak, but in fact, during World War 2, before the United States entered the war, the mustache ordered the submarine forces not to attack American merchant ships.) Although there were accidental injuries, the order was carried out overall. No way, the United States is too strong. ）

"Submarine warfare is definitely not a simple submarine warfare, he needs a perfect system, needs cooperation and intelligence support, from now on, the intelligence system of the German Empire should be extended to the whole world, we need to set up contact points in the world's major ports, spy on the world's shipping system, and always pay attention to the flow and law of bulk goods. The ocean is vast, our submarine operations need a huge information network to support, simply near the British mainland is a way, but at the same time this is also the British naval strength concentration area, all kinds of destroyers and camouflage submarine hunting ships emerge in an endless stream, so only by extending our line of attack to the ocean, can we finally block the British sea line of communication. **** said.

In the near sea, the British can still take many measures, such as aviation reconnaissance and suppression, such as laying mines, of course, the most effective in this era are destroyers and camouflaged submarine hunters. They shuttle intensively on the surface of the sea, compressing the submarine all the way to the bottom, and the ability of the submarine to maneuver underwater is very limited, and the number of torpedoes, the hit rate and even reliability are all problems, the ability of the submarine to break the relationship will be greatly weakened. It is difficult for a submarine to be killed, but it can't kill others, and it is of little significance for the submarine to break relations.

"But our submarines in the open ocean will be limited in supply, the exchange of information, and the search for the enemy will be very inconvenient, and it will be very difficult to find the other side's transport ships in the vast ocean. Is there a solution to this problem? The Kaiser thought for a moment and asked.

"Because of the limitations of technical conditions and geographical conditions, it is difficult to completely solve the problem, but we can try to make up for it." Although the prince said this, he still shook his head silently in his heart, as he said just now, the technical and geographical conditions are too limited, and the prince does not know the communication range of the long-wave radio station now, and how much it can be extended in the future. Although the German submarine forces in World War II could form a joint force in submarine combat under the leadership of Dönitz in World War II, it is difficult to say to what extent it could be achieved in the case of World War I. Secondly, Germany occupied France in World War 2, and German submarines in World War 1 had to cross the North Sea to bypass Britain if they wanted to enter and exit the Atlantic! This alone makes the cost of submarine warfare much higher.

Even in the case of the 2 World War situation, when the tonnage and endurance of the submarine were greatly extended, the Germans specially designed a transport submarine called the Cow. This kind of submarine with a displacement of more than 1,500 tons has a range of tens of thousands of nautical miles, it has no torpedoes, no heavy artillery, and its only role is to carry 432 tons of fuel oil, and all kinds of food for the German submarines fighting in the Atlantic Ocean to deliver supplies, because it can greatly extend the combat time of the submarine, so he is also listed as a key target by the Allies.

Since even those nearly 1,000-ton submarines in World War II needed to be replenished when they had a favorable location, the submarines in World War I naturally needed them. Therefore, when designing the submarine combat strategy, the first thing the prince has to do is to ensure the endurance of the submarine! It is indeed a way to directly study the cow supply submarines in history, but the biggest problem with this method is that the cost is a bit high, and the fuel carrying is too small.

After all, the 1st battle submarine is relatively small, the fuel they carry is relatively small, and they have to go a long way to enter the battlefield, and they will need a greater amount of supplies. Although it is possible to build submarines of more than 1,500 tons, there are more economical ways to solve this problem. At least there are no problems at the beginning. For example, how about using a camouflaged supply ship or a camouflaged assault ship as a submarine supply ship at the same time? Or rather, the supply of submarines with American-flagged merchant ships under German control.

Although the prince was not sure what the consequences would be if the submarine war affected the interests of the Americans, the prince determined that at the beginning of the war, the Americans must have leaned towards Germany, think about it, even in the first war in history, the German transport submarine Deutschland also went to the United States and exchanged German chemicals, gems and precious metals for rubber, tin ingots and other strategic materials. Coupled with the shipping company established by the prince in the United States, there was no problem secretly supplying submarines. One is that it is difficult to find, and the other is that the US government is inclined towards Germany. Of course, if you happen to be caught by a British battleship, you can only be considered unlucky...... However, this is unlikely.

"We will first establish a number of shipping companies in the United States that we control, or at least a few ships, and in wartime, if these American-flagged merchant ships can carry supplies to the Atlantic to provide supplies and intelligence for our submarines, it will greatly reduce the pressure on our supply and extend the voyage time. Moreover, after the ship is equipped with telegraph equipment, it can communicate with the submarine force at any time. It was even possible to track the British merchant fleet and then call in submarines to attack. His Royal Highness said.

As an American flagged merchant ship, even the British Navy could sail in the Atlantic Ocean without the U.S. government deliberately interfering, right? Moreover, the former only sent a message, and it was in a way that the British could not decipher, and if this mobile command center that would not be easily attacked by the Entente could be put into use, then the intelligence and command advantages it would bring would be very great.

The combat idea of the German wolf pack in World War II is like this, after a submarine finds the target, it will report its location to the German submarine command in Paris, France, through radio reporting, and then the latter will send a report to the submarines concentrated in the nearby waters to participate in the hunt, the process of subcontracting may take several days, and then everyone will start the final hunt on the agreed date, and when night falls, it is the moment when the wolves move.
