That is, if you do not take into account the weather, in daytime conditions, the British rely on aviation reconnaissance, and it is basically difficult for us to sneak attack the British fleet, is this true? Scheer said. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"That's right, an assessment of the perception and reaction speed of the British Navy was the main reason for my operation, and from the current point of view, the British have an advantage in the use of naval aviation. There are also some advantages in terms of radio technology. And our advantage lies in the overall speed of the fleet, and it is true that we cannot face the enemy's full high seas fleet head-on, but if we want to go, the British have no way either. ”

"The key to our dealing with the British is the suppression of British aviation power, as well as the continuous attrition of the fast fleet, and the key to the British dealing with us is to save a fast fleet that is enough to hold us back, we need to do two things well, and the British only need to do a little good, this is the current situation!" The prince said frankly that this time he was trying to make Scheer and the others realize the gap between the two sides, and although the victory in the Battle of Thunder-Thurbrus was brilliant, it was difficult to replicate it again, unless the German fleet could solve the above two problems!

"We need to think about these things in the long run, and the most realistic thing for us at the moment is how to rescue the two battle cruisers in the Norwegian Sea. This operation has already proved that the High Seas Fleet cannot enter the Norwegian Sea to meet them, the Grand Fleet is always active, and once we make a sortie, the British will soon follow, even if we set out at night, because we cannot cross the entire North Sea in one night. And two battlecruisers were found, and even now we don't even know where they are! Scheer said.

"It depends on when Lefetsov sends the report, we can only make the next step after knowing their status, and I have a feeling that this time the British may implement a more extreme strategy to limit us, for example, a short-term nearshore blockade!" The prince said.

"Then we can only try to enter the North Sea from the Skagerrak Strait, but there is a certain risk that we have found traces of British submarines in this route, and there have been mines in the strait, and if the larger fleet passes, there is a good chance of being spotted, and it may be struck." Admiral Scheer said.

"So, when our detachment enters the Skagrak Strait, we must firmly contain the Grand Fleet, and we need to plan for this." Before the prince could finish speaking, an officer walked in with a telegram that had just been translated, and when he saw it, the prince chuckled in his heart.

"The British strengthened the blockade of us, and yesterday we again met the British fleet, in which one of the fuel tanks in the front of the battlecruiser Blucher was punctured, resulting in the loss of hundreds of tons of fuel. We may not be able to hold out for too long, about 4 days at most, the British aviation reconnaissance is very strong, and even made attack maneuvers, hoping that the navy will make some efforts. "The telegram was very brief, and it did not even make any request for the high seas fleet, and it was clear that Lefetsov was well aware of the strength of the fleets of both sides, and this information could already be regarded as a masterpiece in a certain way.

"When you go back, contact Hipper, I'm afraid we're going to have the first drop of blood left this time." The prince said with a gloomy face. The destruction of the bow mailbox of the Blucher directly reduced the ship's endurance and may have greatly affected its speed. Although he was very reluctant in his heart, he had to say that the Blücher's deadline was approaching, and the condition and fuel of the ship were no longer enough to allow the battleship to run at high speed for a long time. This time, the High Seas Fleet is doomed to the loss of at least one capital ship!

"It's time to make a trade-off." Scheer glanced at the telegram and said that Scheer was a decisive man, even stronger than Hipper in this regard, and that in history, in the Battle of the Dogle Sandbank, Hipper had always wanted to save the Blucher. And during the Battle of Jutland, in order to get the Grand Fleet off the line, Schell personally gave the order for the Hipper's fleet to charge. From a personal point of view, this is a bit cold-blooded, but from the perspective of the overall strategic situation, this is very correct, after all, the situation was too dangerous at that time, without the battle cruiser detachment, the German fleet was certainly uncomfortable, but without the high seas fleet, then wash and sleep.......

"The loss of the Blucher is inevitable, but we must bring the Moltke back. And so, after going back, the fleet was regrouped, and we had a maximum of 2 days to prepare, and then we started the operation. The prince said.

And at this time, in the distant Norwegian Sea, two German battlecruisers were sailing side by side, yes, side by side, with a long oil pipeline between them.

"Signal Colonel Helhouse to get ready to refuel." Feng. Colonel Lefetsov ordered. However, after several light signals, there was no reaction from the other side. Just as the colonel was about to give the signal for the fourth time, the battleship Blucher on the opposite side finally replied.

"Abort refueling operations."

"If this war is destined to be sacrificed, then let Blucher be the first sacrifice to the god of war from the High Seas Fleet? At least you still have hope of going back, and we can't. ”

"Damn it!" Feng. Sadness, anger and helplessness welled up in Lefetsov's heart at the same time. Just 18 hours ago, they unexpectedly met two Queen-class fast battleships, and the two sides engaged in a short exchange of fire, relying on good armor box defense, the core compartments of the two battleships were intact, but a shell that hit the front armor belt still killed two heavy fuel tanks. If the Grand Fleet was at war, it would have been fine to drive back, but in this environment, it would undoubtedly be tantamount to a death sentence for the Blucher. The so-called fleet can only support 4 days, is the case of the Blucher, and the Moltke can support at least another week or so.

After some controversy, von. Colonel Lefetsov overcame the few objections in the fleet and prepared to provide fuel for the Blucher in order to help it return home. But at the last critical moment, he didn't expect the other party to refuse to accept it.

"Send a signal to this bastard Herhouse, that he has no right to decide the fate of a valuable battlecruiser!" Feng. Colonel Lefetsov said with a hideous face.

The second is more ~~~!
