Obviously, this command system relies entirely on the command in France, and it is impossible for Germany to establish a command center at sea, and there is also a risk for submarines to track the fleet, after all, destroyers can force submarines to dive, and then they may not be able to catch up with ....... Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info But these problems do not exist for German camouflaged supply ships/reconnaissance ships in the cloak of the United States, and it is impossible for the British to launch an attack on an American ship that has not taken any hostile action, and even if it is launched, it will be over as soon as the transmitter is destroyed? This thing is a codebook? Not much use for a dumb puzzle machine.

"A very good idea." The Kaiser nodded and said, but then asked, "Then what methods will the British use to counter our submarine operations?" ”

"If it's in the open ocean, their approach is nothing more than two things, the first is to act in a group, or to form a special fast fleet to transport, the former can reduce the probability of our submarines intercepting the opponent, and the latter may make it difficult for submarines to catch up. The second is to escort the ship with destroyers or light cruisers. If you are close to the mainland, there may be airships or airplanes. The prince thought for a moment and said.

"The flotilla went in pairs, and there were destroyers or even light cruisers to escort them? That sounds like a good idea. So for this anti-submarine system, do you have a way to crack it? Wilhelm II said with a slight frown.

"The only way to do this is for submarines to launch a swarm attack at night. The British had too many merchant ships, their destroyers and light cruisers were relatively small, a fleet of a dozen ships could only be escorted by 2 or 3 destroyers, and if at night, in the case of extremely low visibility, it was not easy to find submarines, and it was impossible for the general fleet to achieve complete light silence, the submarines were in the dark, and the fleet was in the light, we actually had an advantage. ”

"When a group of submarines is concentrated, some submarines are responsible for potential destroyers of the opposing side, and some are responsible for attacking merchant ships, the other side cannot guarantee the safety of the entire fleet at all when the number of frigates is inferior. Of course, if such a system is to fight, we need a period of training and running-in. His Royal Highness thought about it and added.

"So is the break-up system of the German High Seas Fleet completely supported by submarines? Do we need other auxiliary forces? For example, a light cruiser or a camouflaged assault ship overseas. Wilhelm II was obviously very satisfied with His Highness ****'s answer, but the too one-dimensional approach made him feel a little regretful.

"It is possible for light cruisers to break diplomatic relations, but if there is no stable port, although these cruisers can cause some trouble to the British, they will be lost very quickly in the end, and a long sea voyage will not only require the support of a large number of supplies, but also make the situation of the battleship very bad, the so-called standard speed can not run at all, and the final result is that they will be destroyed under the encirclement and suppression of the powerful sea forces of the Entente." Said.

Although the Emden and Königsberg in history achieved more brilliant results, especially the former, intercepting 23 merchant ships and sinking 16, causing the British to suffer economic losses of up to 5 million pounds, but under the encirclement and suppression of the British, this light cruiser held out for more than 100 days. Königsberg lasted longer, but that was also because the ship was blocked by the British and could not get out of the river because it was upstream, and then the British shallow water heavy gunboats pinned the cruiser to death in the river with the help of aircraft shots.

Historically, all but one of the cruisers that Germany began to scatter overseas to break the engagements were eventually killed by the British Royal Navy. On the contrary, some camouflaged assault ships have become more popular, such as the famous Sea Eagle and the Wolf. The former is a sail warship going to the sea to break diplomatic relations, and in the end, if it were not for an accident, it might still be floating at sea, while the latter one is more illustrative of the results of the camouflaged attack ship.

First of all, in terms of record, the Wolf cruiser sank a total of 38,000 tons of various merchant ships, which does not seem to be a high record, but don't forget, when the Wolf went out, it carried 458 mines, and in the end, these mines brought the Wolf an additional income of nearly 76,000 tons! In this case, this data is very scary! After all, this is an attack ship with a registered tonnage of only about 6,000 tons, and it was converted from a very ordinary civilian ship!

Secondly, in terms of time, the raid ship was at sea for 452 days! Hold on for more than 4 times longer than the Emden! He crossed the British blockade twice, and finally succeeded in returning to the German mainland, bringing back a large number of strategic materials such as rubber and non-ferrous metals. Judging from the time it took and the successful return voyage, it was a miracle.

Therefore, in the eyes of His Royal Highness ****, with the same investment, the benefits obtained by the raid ship are obviously better, because the camouflage assault ship has an advantage that regular warships do not have, that is, concealment, a camouflage assault ship that is no different from an ordinary merchant ship sails on the sea, he does not show his fangs, who knows if this is a wolf in sheep's clothing or a harmless sheep?

At this point, Count Luknar's Sea Eagle has done its camouflage to the extreme! No one could have imagined that the Germans would use an old sailing ship as an assault ship at sea! Look at what the legendary count did at sea. On Christmas Day 1916, the Sea Eagle encountered a British auxiliary cruiser, the Avenger, and when the British boarded the ship, they found a map of Norway and landscapes hanging on the walls, chatted with the Earl in Norwegian, and even found a letter to his girlfriend, but they did not find the hidden artillery .......

Then the camouflaged assault ship also used a fake fire to "seduce" the British merchant ship Howards, the reason for this was because Count Luknall found that the opposite cargo was too strong to beat himself, and then when the British came to the rescue in the spirit of humanitarian principles, the Sea Eagle completed the flag-raising fire in a very short time, destroyed the opponent's artillery before the British reacted, and took control of the battleship's ....... Count Luknall used his wisdom to write a miracle in the history of naval warfare, a miracle that robbed his opponents with a galleon in the age of dreadnought, and captured hundreds of people!

And compared with the situation of the German 1 wartime cruisers in the open sea cruisers, the survivability of the German camouflaged attack ships is still very strong. And camouflage raid ships have one of the biggest advantages, that is, even after the British have made a blockade, camouflage raid ships can still run back and run back, while regular warships are almost impossible.
