"In the two large-scale fleet engagements, the British had more than three digits of seaplanes, land-based planes, and airships, and the British had also begun to study aircraft shooting, and if the weather was good, it was basically impossible to attack the British fleet in the North Sea or to break through each one. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"We have followed the return of the British fleet, and in general their arrangements are very detailed. The Grand Fleet will return to Shetland, while the Fast Fleet will return to Forth Bay. Probably because of fuel problems, their return speed was not fast. And in order to avoid the submarine, it will often take a zigzag circumvention route. ”

"For most of the return journey, the fleet was not supported by other forces, but when it approached about 80 kilometers from the port, the British arranged for seaplanes and auxiliary warships to meet them in order to prevent the attack of our submarines. This is true even at night. And off the coast of Forth Bay, the British also carried out defensive minelaying. If we wanted to inflict heavy damage on the British fleet by submarine ambushes, then the chances of success were very small, and we could even lose valuable submarines. Lieutenant General Scheer reported to the prince after synthesizing the information provided by the intelligence services.

"Can we determine the trajectory of the British fleet at night?" The prince thought for a moment and asked again.

"No problem, the British didn't think about light control when they sailed at night. Although the speed of 14 knots is not fast, it is enough to make the underwater submarine anxious. And they need to be in constant contact with the inside of the port, and there is no radio control. So with airships and radio lateral technology, we can determine the approximate location of the British fleet, and they don't seem to be aware of our radio lateral technology, and probably don't care. Lieutenant General Scheer thought for a moment and said.

"So what is the current state of strength of the British fast fleet?" Admiral Bol asked.

"It was the battlecruiser Australia that we sank, and the core compartment of the other two Queen-class battleships was damaged, and it is estimated that they will lie on the slipway for more than 2 months. If we fight them again, we can get at least half of Thomas's battleships out of the British battle sequence for a while, as long as we still get the last chance! Lieutenant General Hipperer answered.

"There will be no more such opportunities, and if we repeat this tactic again, then the most likely outcome would be for Hood's 3rd Battlecruiser Detachment and Thomas's fleet to converge and there will be no more pincer offensives. They'll follow in the footsteps of the Grand Fleet, don't you notice that this time the position of the three battlecruisers of Hood's 3rd Battlecruiser Detachment is very uncomfortable for us? Major General Scheer shook his head and said.

"And to be honest, we can't change the situation much by taking out these inferior ships, which are becoming less and less useful as the queens enter service." The prince said. "So, if we want to change the situation further, then we have to target the queens of the British! And this will be our core goal for the next phase! ”

"Your Highness, what do you mean by that?!" All the German naval top brass present were shocked and puzzled, they had thought that such an action was enough to gradually weaken the opponent through continuous contact and attrition in a short period of time, but now it seems that everything this prince has done before is just a foreshadowing!

"Perhaps, judging by the results and tonnage, we may not be able to reproduce the glory of the Thunder-Thurbrus operation in this operation. But I can guarantee that after this campaign, it will take at least half a year for the British fast fleet to recover! Jericho's Grand Fleet can only return to Forth Bay and be an honest watchdog! Then watch as our fleet continues to transport supplies through the North Sea to the mainland! ”

That's right, this time the prince still aimed the spearhead at the British fast fleet, in line with the principle of not crippling this fleet and never fighting with the main force of the Grand Fleet. Only after the British naval strategic mobile force was half killed could the prince's dismantling operation be successful. And Germany's sea lines of communication can be kept open!

"But during the day, our every move is under the watchful eye of the British, and we cannot have a chance to face the British Rapid Fleet alone. And the other side is not much slower than us, if they want to go, it will be difficult for us to intercept! ”

Vice Admiral Schell felt that the prince's plan was a bit incredible, and now, in the case of normal visibility, it is difficult for both sides to calculate the opponent, and if the weather is bad, then both sides may be calculated or targeted by the other side, and for the German Navy, which has less capital, such a risk is undoubtedly greater.

"So, we have to adjust our timing and action plan. Thankfully, the last time we had a successful campaign, 2 out of 7 Queen-class battleships were temporarily out of the battle sequence. This was a very good opportunity, which made our prey just the right size! Perfect for a bite! The prince did not directly explain his plans. Rather, it continues to describe the prospects of this campaign.

"Are you going to refer to the night raid of Count Spee in the Mediterranean?" Hipper, as if sensing something, asked.

"A night attack is not a very good choice, attacking a fleet with a high speed in the wind and waves of the North Sea is inherently a difficult thing for a strong man, and we still can't effectively attack the opponent when the opponent wants to leave during the day, so at night, it is naturally even more impossible." The prince shook his head and said.

"So what should we do?" Feng. Admiral Ball asked.

"Do what we want you to do, and when the time comes, you'll know everything!" The prince said confidently. And in order to wish us success in this operation, I propose to name it the Fire Stealer - Prometheus!

"So when are we going to act?" Lieutenant General Scheer thought for a moment and asked.

"I don't know the exact timing of the operation, to be precise, we need to wait for the opportunity to move, we need to have a correct judgment of the situation on the battlefield. But I can tell you clearly when it will take to prepare, and by January 15 next year, we must make all the preparations, not only for the ships belonging to the High Seas Fleet, but also for the Kingdom of Bavaria. If my plan is realized, the dragons flying in the air may not be impossible to deal with. With that, the prince pointed to a photograph posted on the wall, which was a static view of the ground of a V1500 aircraft, with a slender fuselage, huge wings, and a hedgehog-like machine gun. It's terrifying to watch!
