Prince Ruprecht needs the support of the navy, but it is obviously impossible to control it from the grassroots level, whether it is Schell or Hipper, they have their current status and prestige after decades of struggle in the navy, and the prince's influence on the navy comes from the authorization of the Kaiser on the one hand, and the recognition of senior generals on the other. The prince needs www.biquge.info navy to open up the situation, needs to be recognized by the navy's top brass, and at the same time, when there is a problem with the navy's top brass control over the below, the prince can help in turn. That's all it takes.

Of course, the prince could not be completely insulated from the middle and lower classes, and providing additional supplies was one thing, and the other was to make them think that the German Navy could win the battle by following their baton, and that they could gradually reverse the disadvantages of the German Navy, and that would be fine. As for the latter matter, the prince did not think too much.

The fleet could depart at any time, and the prince would not return to Bavaria, but he spent most of the rest of his time on his flagship, the Bavaria, except for the first night spent on the shore of the port of Kiel.

When the first rays of the morning sun shine on the sea. Through the porthole, the prince can clearly see most of the lineup of the German High Seas Fleet in the port of Kiel, and the best berths are naturally reserved for the Scheer fleet, which is always ready to sail, Scheer is the commander of the first battleship detachment, under the jurisdiction of the first and second battleship squadrons, concentrated the six most elite battleships in the German Navy at present, and along the berths, they are Bavaria, Saxony, Württemberg, Baden, Hesse and Mecklenburg. And opposite itself, in the berths on the other side were three Brandenburg-class battleships. Behind them were the three battlecruisers of Hipper's fleet, the Moltke, Goeben, and Blucher.

In the distance were moored 3 squadrons of light cruisers, which were supposed to be assigned to themselves and Hipper. There are at least 40 mine-striking ships of various types and sizes, or destroyers, which can be called destroyers, ranging from small ones of about 500 tons to large ones of more than 1,200 tons.

Most of the submarine forces are carrying out the task of breaking diplomatic relations or are deploying a cordon, and the prince does not see many submarines, only seven or eight scattered submarines. The submarines are supposed to have just returned from the Baltic Sea and are preparing for maintenance work. There are also a number of naval auxiliary vessels anchored in the harbor.

"Bavaria, Your Highness, this battleship is named after your kingdom, and I hope that under you, the Bavarian crown prince, we can open up a new situation for the empire at sea." Just as the prince admired the majesty of the fleet in the golden sunlight at sunrise, Sher came to the prince's side.

"Yes, it will, believe me, this time we will make history together, the glory of the British Empire and the Royal Navy will be eclipsed in our hands, they have been at the top for too long, it's time to give up their place." The prince said.

"You know, Scheer? For this day, I have been preparing for this day for more than 20 years, starting from the earliest Munich-class armored cruisers, I have been preparing for this day, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, we must first surpass the British in shipbuilding technology, then the training and quality of personnel, and the overall strategic structure system, I have come to this day step by step, and now, it is time to test our results, just like a few months ago my troops fought against the two Russian armies in the border area. ”

"It may be presumptuous, but you never seem to worry about your failures. I heard General Calyput say that you were very relaxed when the battle broke out. It's as if you could predict the outcome of the war. Everything is in stride, and nothing exceeds your expectations. Scheer said.

"That's because I've done it before, and I've maximized the advantage we can have before the actual engagement, and that's the case with land battles, and it's the same with naval battles. I have transferred the British fleet, which poses the greatest threat to us, to the Indian Ocean, and the Hipper fleet has also acted as an imaginary enemy of the British, and I now have in my hands the most powerful German squadron! As for the course of the battle? All I can say is that I trust you and your men, I trust the level of training and the will to fight of the High Seas Fleet! The prince said.

"In a few days, I will be directing the first large-scale naval battle of the High Seas Fleet on this battleship designed by the Bavarian Ship Design Bureau, produced by the Blom-Foss shipyard and named after my country! I swear that I will engrave my name and the prestige of my country and of this class of warships in the history of world warfare. I'm going to make history! If the prestige of the Imperial High Seas Fleet is destined to one day be a shock to the world, then I hope this step starts with me! ”

"I am honored to create this glorious history with His Highness." Scheer said.

In the days that followed, the entire High Seas Fleet prepared for the operation, codenamed "Thunder-Thurbrus", which the prince explained when he explained that in Greek mythology, Hercules had no one to believe that he could succeed until he went to hell to try to bring out the evil dogs of Hades. And in the end, he accomplished this incredible action.

And this time, Ruprecht was going to defeat the British in a moderate fleet duel from the front! He wants to shatter the myth of the invincibility of the Royal Navy. So he decided to use this codename, and this proposal was unanimously agreed by the High Seas Fleet. In fact, the fundamental reason why the prince chose this name is on the one hand to express his admiration for the actions of the German fleet through the English Channel in World War II in history, and on the other hand, because the prince feels that this name is very imposing! Well, that's it!

Three days later, the Helgrand-class battleship Oldenburg was also fully maintained and maintained, and after some repairs, the battleship was able to run at the same high speed of nearly 26 knots as the Bavaria-class, and then reached the El-Mandeb Bay through the Kiel Canal on the same day to join the six Bavaria-class fast battleships. In order to prevent the British from discovering the anomalies of the fleet in the harbor, the German Navy set up a special shelter at the position where the fleet was moored, and focused on all buildings that could see the interior of the harbor.

On the same day, the German submarine squadron had entered the designated sea area and began to set up a cordon to monitor the British Grand Fleet in the Shetland Islands and Betty's battle cruiser formation in Rosyth, as well as Vice Admiral Jerahm's four King George V-class super-dreadnoughts. By the fourth day, the Hipper's fleet had also made preparations. And in the afternoon of the same day, the prince officially gave the order to fight, and just 2 hours later, an oil tanker that the British had been watching for a long time passed through the Kiel Canal!
