In other words, how to fight the Grand Fleet in the Dreadnought Era? The prince really doesn't know, or the generals who have experienced World War I in history are not very clear, after all, there was only one really high-end and high-grade battle in World War 1, and when the two sides opened the formation, the situation became that one side ran and the other chased, and the mushrooms lasted for a long time, and they didn't really fight to the death. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info So in this case, without much historical reference, Prince Ruprecht didn't know what would happen if he really fought with the British Grand Fleet.

So, this is a rare opportunity, and the prince wonders what will happen to the high seas fleet and the grand fleet after the Thomas fleet is separated from the Grand Fleet? Rest assured, even in the absence of a queen, the prince will not easily fight the Grand Fleet. At this point, the prince, like Jericho, is very conservative. No one can afford to lose a war in one afternoon.

This time, the prince just wanted to walk a few laps in front of the big fleet, and then look at each other's catties, and then start a simulated attack and defense to prepare for the decisive battle in the future. That's right, it's to prepare for a decisive battle, and you can't hide from it! In order for the Allies to finally agree to Germany to eat the Eastern Front, two things needed to be done, the first was to kill enough French troops, and the second was to tell the British that the High Seas Fleet was capable of destroying half of the Royal Navy in one war!

Especially the latter, this has been done, and it is even more powerful than taking out hundreds of thousands of British expeditionary forces! Let the British know that the sea is no longer a barrier for them! Therefore, the prince had to compete with the Grand Fleet at the right time, even at risk.

If you want to talk about practical experience, sorry, I don't have it yet, I only have a little theoretical experience, which I still saw when I read books. After a careful study of the Battle of Jutland, the prince realized that the balance of power between the British and German navies would be difficult for the other side to achieve much if one side wanted to go, for example, after the appearance of the Great Fleet of Scheer, the queens of Thomas were in the face of Hipper, four King-class battleships, and other German ships.

And when the main forces of the High Seas Fleet and the Grand Fleet met in Scheer, the loss of the battle cruiser Lütsov could only be said to have a great element of luck, and there was no way, the Invincible sent the shells to the torpedo compartment of the Lütsov with one shot, and then detonated dozens of high-pressure gas cylinders. This kind of thing is enough for anyone. Of course, later the German BC backhand killed the invincible, and you can only blame the opponent's defense for being too poor, and you are a guy who pretends to patrol the defense level and rubs it so far forward to find death!

Combining historical experience and the combat experience of the prince's plane, the prince believes that the fundamental reason for this situation on both sides is that the fast fleet is not sharp enough, whether it is the German fleet or the British fleet, their fast warships are not enough to bite the opponent to the death. Needless to say, the German fleet has a total of 5 battle cruisers, of which only 2 have 12-inch guns, and the others are 11-inch. The so-called bite should at least be able to catch up with them, and then injure them, or interfere with the opponent's retreat.

And the British fleet was equally incapable of biting the German High Seas Fleet. Don't look at the British have a queen, there are ten battle cruisers, but they are still useless, the lions and tigers can't even beat Hipper, it's hard to hit hard, if you rush in front of the high seas fleet, maybe in a few tens of minutes, the Betty battlecruiser detachment will be history. And although the queen can be strong and the speed is actually enough, it is also difficult to damage the German battleships, especially after the Helgeland class, the defense of the king and Caesar is simply a tooth for the queen! So the British couldn't bite the Germans either, and then, after a couple of waves of torpedoes from German destroyers, Scheer slipped away.

Then, on the other hand, the prince's thunder-Thurbrus operation, why was it able to kill Britain so softly? Isn't it because you can catch up and shoot to death? If it weren't for the fear of the appearance of the Grand Fleet, or if some of the battleships were running out of ammunition, the British would have been even more miserable.

And in this plane, the German fleet is stronger, and the British are also a little stronger than in history, at least now the queen has 7 ships....... This made the prince feel Alexander. If Thomas was here, the prince would never have met the Grand Fleet, after all, if the 7 queens and 3 battle cruisers were really blocked in front, and then the Grand Fleet was still eyeing the side, the prince would be really afraid! But what about now? Thomas went to find Moltke and Blucher, so the prince thought that this time he could make a fuss with the Grand Fleet, and everyone would be separated by more than 20 kilometers, put on a few poses, simulate attack and defense, and then get a few auxiliary warships, and then withdraw ......

Of course, although the prince had this idea, he would never mention it in his telegram to the Kaiser, and God knows whether the Kaiser would strictly order the prince not to attack after he knew that the prince was going to say hello to the Grand Fleet. Therefore, the prince's telegram to the Kaiser emphasized that this was to try to pick up the two battlecruisers that had gone out, and it was difficult to say whether they could receive it.

And if the high seas fleet attacked, the prince was sure that the British would have received the message! Let's not say that this time the prince did not intend to cover up his actions, even if you wanted to cover up, really think that the British did not deploy submarines outside the Hurgrand Bay? The prince looked through the relevant records and found that on average every week, a British submarine had been killed by a mine, a reef or a destroyer's depth charge. Although the main force of the German Navy was in the Baltic Sea before, at the doorstep of the North Sea, the contest between German destroyers and British submarines did not stop at all. Therefore, it is not clear whether the British can track the German fleet, but the German fleet went out on a large scale, and it is difficult to hide from the British, especially now, Thomas is in action, and without the security endorsement provided by the Grand Fleet, it is simply unimaginable!

That evening, a telegram from the prince was sent, and at 10 p.m. Wilhelm II replied that he agreed that the prince would go to sea for a cruise with the safety of the fleet. After all, if the two battle cruisers were left out like this, no matter what, they couldn't be justified!

After obtaining the permission of the Kaiser, the prince immediately decided to attack the day after tomorrow. At this time, 5 days had passed since Moltke and Blucher lost contact, and according to the intelligence reality obtained, Thomas's fleet was still cruising in the Norwegian Sea, while the two German battle cruisers were hidden in the depths of the Norwegian Sea, and there was no information for the time being. Both sides are stuck at a point. The German fleet could not be delayed indefinitely, and the British estimated that if the German High Seas Fleet was ready to act, it should be this time!
