"This is the first time I've seen the High Seas Fleet go out full, strong, fierce, and fearless. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIt's not as big as the British Grand Fleet, but it's more agile! Swift! Fatal! "Look at the giant ship next to me. Hipper's heart was pounding. This is an all-army attack in the true sense of the word! In addition to the 17 fast battleships, there were 3 additional slow battleships, and the light cruisers and destroyers originally attached to the Baltic Sea were also transferred.

For the first time, the total number of capital ships dispatched by the High Seas Fleet brought to 20. The number of light cruisers is 24, the number of destroyers and torpedo boats is more than 50! If you count 6 seaplane carriers, the number of sortie warships of the high seas fleet has exceeded the 100 mark for the first time! In this world, except for the Royal Navy, no country can come up with such a level of configuration!

The entire fleet was regrouped, with a total of 17 fast battleships forming four battleship squadrons, with Vice Admiral Schell commanding the 1st and 2nd battleship squadrons, of which the first battleship squadron was 5 Bavarian-class battleships, while the second battleship squadron was 3 Helgoland-class battleships and the newly improved Rhineland.

Hipper commanded 4 Bavaria-class battleships of the 3rd Battleship Detachment, and the 4th Battleship Detachment was the original battle cruiser detachment, a total of 3 super-dreadnought battlecruisers and 1 Von der Tann. As for the remaining 3 slow battleships were organized into the fifth battleship detachment, the vice admiral has always wondered what these weak battleships are doing? If it's a mobile battle, then don't take them with you, and if it's desperate, then take out a few more quasi-dreadnoughts. Anyway, the speed has been slowed down, and there can be more output .......

The battlecruiser detachment still went forward to take up reconnaissance missions, and the remaining three battleship detachments formed a three-column phalanx to follow. And the 3 slow battleships were far behind, and they were thrown farther and farther away, except for the 4 light cruisers attached to the battle cruiser detachment. Another 4 detachments of light cruisers moved with the main fleet. The avant-garde was about 20 nautical miles from the main fleet. When the fleet entered the depths of the North Sea, the accompanying six seaplane carriers also began to release seaplanes for reconnaissance operations. And all this, naturally, cannot be hidden from the British!

"The Germans are out again?! They're so tough! Jericho had received a telegram from a British submarine squatting off the coast of Germany two hours earlier, and in addition to routinely telling Jerichault the direction of the German fleet and the time of discovery, he also deliberately emphasized that this time the other side was a little ...... in size. Let Jericho be careful. And the scale is somewhat large, which means that it may have brought non-fast battleships.

"It's a pity that our 2 queens and 1 revenge-class battleship are in the dockyard." Charles. Lieutenant General Madden said with some depression.

"If the Germans were just hanging around the sea, we wouldn't have to trouble them." Lieutenant General Jerram said he is now also a pessimist. He believes that until his strength is restored, it is better not to fight his opponent. Because the previous battles were all losses of the Royal Navy.

"No, Thomas's fleet must be joined with us. If the German fleet really went out of the nest, then the Grand Fleet would not be able to defeat them! And if we choose to give up, then it will be a catastrophe for the auxiliary cruiser fleet, which is near the blockade line of the North Sea! Admiral Jericho vetoed flatly.

The entire High Seas Fleet! 20 dreadnoughts and above. There may be 6 more quasi-dreadnoughts. And what about the Great Fleet? Now it's 8 super dreadnoughts armed with 13.5-inch naval guns. (2 are under maintenance), 4 Vengeance-class battleships, 10 dreadnoughts, and 3 battlecruisers. Jericho was sure that his 25 battleships would never be able to defeat 20 German dreadnoughts and several quasi-dreadnoughts if he didn't take into account the ......auxiliary warships. No way, the quantity is not much different, but the quality is too bad ....... If Thomas's fleet did not come, the Grand Fleet might have to hide from the German fleet when it ran into .......

Although Jericho estimated that there were two possibilities for the German fleet to make a sortie this time, one was to attack the North Sea blockade line, after all, it was impossible for the Grand Fleet to patrol with precious light cruisers all day, and the endurance was not enough, and the number was not enough. If the blockade could be severely damaged again, then Germany would have access to supplies from overseas. The other possibility is that he is planning to have a ...... with the Grand Fleet. This idea is really unlikely, otherwise there would be no need for the German fleet to carry slow warships.

And in any case, Jericho thinks that and Thomas are the only options! At least the British fleet after the huddle was definitely not afraid of the German fleet! The German fleet with a large number of slow battleships was indeed stronger, but alas, the Germans also lost the maneuverability that they were proud of, unless the German fleet commander saw them as expendables.

So this time Jericho decided to concentrate the main forces of the Royal Navy like last time. Thomas's fleet was ready to leave almost as soon as it received the information, and the Grand Fleet was ready to leave 40 minutes after receiving the information, so within a month, the two largest fleets on the planet met again at sea!

The German fleet made a very early sortie, and at the first wave of high tide in the early morning, the huge high seas fleet rushed out of Wilhelmshaven. But the two sides met relatively late, when the huge German fleet almost crossed half of the North Sea close to the eastern border of the North Sea, the British fleet found the German fleet under the guidance of airships and V1500 seaplanes, and at this time, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, only three hours before sunset!

"Well, it's so stable!" Jericho looked at the sunset, the two sides met a little late, which meant that if there was no night battle, then the confrontation between the two sides would probably be over. Jericho believed that the German fleet would not choose a night battle, and the uncertainty of a night battle was too great. And the lethality of destroyers and light cruisers will skyrocket at night! This was the weakness of the German fleet, which, naturally, they should not have done.

"The British are scared this time, they are very cautious, and keep a short distance from us, the Thomas fleet did not give full play to their speed advantage, but has been staying with the Grand Fleet, they are more like a turtle with its head, tail and limbs shrunk into its carapace, carefully staring at us from a distance, just to restrict us from continuing to go north, we don't know how the British understand the purpose of this sortie, but obviously, this situation is very beneficial to us!" Lieutenant General Scheer, who had already had insight into the plan, wrote in his diary.
