Feng. Rear Admiral Lefetsov really guessed correctly, Prince Ruprecht and Hipper's main fleet did encounter some troubles, but these troubles did not come from the British surface ships, in this sea area except for the fragments of British battleships, there was no complete British battleship, and there were no submarines from underwater, in the face of a relatively large-scale, and well-escorted fleet, the role of submarines was very limited. www.biquge.info The fleet of von Lefetsov was attacked by surprise, which was already a big luck for the British, and their remaining RP was definitely not enough to hit another big luck....... Otherwise, according to the law of conservation of RP, Thomas and Betty are estimated to leave one!

Although the prince knows that the British Air Force is very NB in World War 1, it is absolutely no problem to say that it is the first in the world, and it is a big cut away from the second France, but it is all analyzed from the data, and sometimes the simple data is not intuitive. This is like the concept of personnel, 1,000 people does not seem to be much, but when the prince first followed his uncle Prince Leopold to inspect the 1st Bavarian Guards Regiment when he was a child, he asked his uncle how many people there were, and the latter replied that there were 800 people, and looking at the black pressure, the prince of course thought that there were at least 3,000 people! Later, he had a correct understanding of the so-called 10,000 people and mountains and fields!

And this time, the prince finally intuitively has a very direct understanding of the power of the Royal Navy aviation unit, hundreds of various planes flew over your head, and then began to throw bombs, can you not understand?!

Seriously, the British aviation industry in World War I was quite terrifying in terms of quantity and quality, and it is not too much to say that it is comparable to the United States during World War II! If it is said that at the time of World War II, the British aviation industry and the German aviation industry at its peak were still equal.

(Historically, the peak production capacity of the Luftwaffe was in 1944, producing 39,000 aircraft of various kinds, and the British produced up to 26,000 aircraft, although the number is small, but considering things such as Lancaster and Halifax, the actual production capacity may not be less than that of Germany, in the same way, although Maozi produced 40,000 aircraft a year, but purely on the wartime aviation industry, it cannot be compared with Germany, after all, the number of twin-engine bombers in Germany is very high.) ）

Then the aviation industry of the 1st World War in Germany in history is not worthy of lifting shoes for the British! The gap is so big, even now, the prince believes that there is still a gap between Germany and Britain in terms of the scale and technology of the aviation industry, and the reflection on the battlefield is that although the Luftwaffe has a better organizational system and a higher level of campaign command. But the Allied air force was superior, and the British, in addition to ensuring that they could confront the main Prussian air force on the mainland, had the time and energy to equip the Royal Navy with more than 2,000 aircraft! And today, the prince sees the tip of the iceberg!

In fact, if the First World War had dragged on for a longer period of time, the blowouts of technological progress in 1917 and 1918 had made the British air force much more advanced, and the bomber force had greatly improved in terms of size and quality, and by that time air power would have made Germany's situation even more difficult. Large-scale strategic bombing 20 years ahead of schedule is definitely not a rhetorical one. (Of course, the amount of bombs dropped is definitely not comparable to 2 battles.) ）

When the main fleet led by the prince and Hipper had settled the British fleet on the sea and was ready to close, it was about 10 o'clock in the morning. The sea fog eventually cleared and visibility skyrocketed. And at this time, a telegram came from the seaplane unit that had been on guard duty on the periphery, and they saw planes, very many British planes!

"Within my sphere of influence, I can clearly see the four groups of planes flying from the west, their total number is about 45, and in the distance, at the limit of the line of sight, I can see more black spots. They pounced like a swarm of locusts! "The first German pilot, who spotted the British bomber group, wrote in the telegram.

"Okay, guys, it seems that we need to face a new threat, the fleet is ready to concentrate, all seaplane aircraft carrier take-off planes are ready to intercept the target, don't care about the single-engine aircraft, which one is bigger, which one to hit!"

"The other fleets will return directly to the detachment as a unit, we should not stay here, except for the free hunting of twin-engine seaplanes, the single-engine seaplanes released by each warship only need to ensure the safety of their own detachments." After hearing this information, the prince was also a little wilted, and even said that he was a little depressed, thinking that as a traverser, he had not yet made a plane to bomb the British fleet, so he let the British naval aviation directly put the bombs on his head, which was a great provocation to the traverser! The very cautious traverser made a note on the Englishman in his little notebook, ready to find the ...... in time.

As for what about the air defense of the fleet? Don't say it, the prince really doesn't know what to do, the air defense methods in the history of World War 2 can't be directly applied at all, the air defense wheel array? Please, in this era, destroyers generally have 3 88 guns, and there will be 2 150 guns at the NB point, but no matter what kind of artillery is not suitable for air defense because of the problem of firing angle and gun mount, the 2-pounder gun capital ship is equipped with some, but the destroyer class is not installed. And in the absence of full-fledged fire control, how many planes do you expect to shoot down with a simple 2-pounder gun and a small number of 88 guns?

The so-called best air defense is still the aircraft, and the prince can only rely on about 3 or 4 seaplanes on his own capital ship, as well as the improved K-4 twin-engine seaplane on the seaplane aircraft carrier to support an air defense network for the fleet, as for the fleet air defense guidance? Wash and sleep. Don't think about it!

Therefore, the task of air defense of the fleet basically depends on the strength of the pilots themselves. The prince's arrangement is also the best he can do, the twin-engine aircraft has strong firepower and a relatively long stay in the air, and has sufficient endurance to provide anti-aircraft fire between the fleets. Now at sea, the main forces of the entire German High Seas Fleet have dispersed because of the pursuit of British battleships, and the distance between the various fleets is more than 10 kilometers. In such a situation, it is unrealistic to emphasize that all aircraft should be concentrated for defense.

Twin-engine aircraft have good range and firepower, and are responsible for active attacks, while single-engine aircraft have limited firepower and range, as long as they drive away the opponent or force the opponent to drop bombs. That's the best use of things.

As for the fleet on the sea, go home as soon as possible. So, after the prince gave the order, in addition to going to find von. Except for the fleet of battlecruiser detachments led by Rear Admiral Lefetsov, the other battleships turned directly to the southeast and headed in the direction of Wilhelmshaven.
