"Just 2 weeks ago, the High Seas Fleet lost its first capital ship. Pen ~ fun ~ Ge www.biquge.info This is a big blow to us, and it also reminds us of the cruelty of war. The British Royal Navy, a powerful existence that has been in charge of the sea for a hundred years, will not easily hand over the Trident of the sea god to others, if we want to seek a broader world for the future of the German Empire, if we want to enter and exit the North Sea freely, then we must always be ready to shed blood and sacrifice! And as you, the first and most basic thing you need to do well is to fight and work under the command of Prince Ruprecht! His Majesty the Kaiser said this at the last meeting of the high naval authorities before the Kaiser left Wilhelmshaven.

"Huh?! It's my turn?! The prince, who sat on the left-hand side, looked at the Kaiser with some surprise. However, the Kaiser's eyes responded: "Whoever is your turn?!" ”

"Well, the first thing we have to do is to resume tactical cruises in the North Sea! According to the meteorological service, 4 days later it was a good day, and all the fast battleships went out in action, except for the fast battleship Saxony, which was repairing propellers and steering gears in the dock! The prince said.

"With all due respect, I wonder what is the purpose of this tactical cruise?" Feng. General Pol asked. "The detachment of fast battleships of the British has returned from the Norwegian Sea and has made a preliminary rest. Last time we faced Jericho's Grand Fleet, and this time, we're afraid we'll have to face Jericho's Grand Fleet and Thomas's Fast Fleet. This is a bit dangerous. ”

"Sooner or later, we all have to face it! It is impossible to repeat what has hit the British like the cunning of Operation Thunder-Thurbruce. We have to get used to fighting in the worst of conditions. So I picked a good day, and if I brought five seaplane carriers, plus the airships belonging to the navy, we could guarantee control of the battlefield, and even if two British fleets appeared, we would have time to retreat. There will be no surprises. ”

The prince said to the Kaiser, in fact, if the Kaiser is not here, with the prince's current status and prestige, there is no need to explain anything to Admiral Boll at all, just do it, but now, the prince still has to tell the Kaiser that he will not damage the battleship, so you can rest assured.

"Your actions are meaningful, aren't they? Ruprecht? The Kaiser asked, looking at the prince.

"That's right, I'm preparing for the next battle. A new victory is not far away. The prince's words were affirmative.

"Then let's do it!" The Kaiser simply did the shopkeeper.

Three days later, while Jericho was washing up in the bathroom, an officer suddenly rushed in with a telegram: "Your Excellency, the German High Seas Fleet has been dispatched!" ”

“？！” Shocked, Jericho wiped the foam from his face with a hand towel and immediately walked out and took the telegram in his hand. The above is simple, the main forces of the High Seas Fleet set off from Wilhelmshaven and sailed north. Whereabouts unknown.

"The High Seas Fleet dispatched at least 30 warships and sailed to the North Sea blockade line." The second telegram was sent by naval aviation.

"Madman, order the auxiliary cruisers and other ships located in the North Sea blockade line to temporarily withdraw to the Shetland Islands, and the capital ships will immediately light a fire and prepare for an attack! And tell General Thomas to immediately lead the team to join the main fleet! Just act now. Jericho said.

"Well, it's Rear Admiral Moore who is now commanding the fast fleet, and Vice Admiral Thomas's wound is infected, so he may not be able to return to the team recently." The squire said.

"Okay, then tell Major General Moore to move faster, and then send sincere condolences to Major General Thomas on my behalf, hoping that he will return to the team as soon as possible." Jericho said helplessly.

In fact, after Jericho ascended to the flagship Iron Duke, he was still a little confused, because he couldn't understand what the purpose of the German fleet came out so hesitantly? To break the North Sea blockade? The use of submarines and night raids by camouflaged assault ships can pose a threat only against those auxiliary cruisers. Paid for the Blucher? Don't make a fuss, everyone is an adult, how unreliable this reason is. Came out and did a fight with the Grand Fleet? It stands to reason that it is impossible, although the last time the Grand Fleet and the High Seas Fleet fought each other, it suffered a little loss, but it was harmless, just a few light cruisers. Although there is still 1 revenge-class battleship still lying in the dock, the Grand Fleet is still the Grand Fleet, and it is absolutely worthwhile to pull it out and fight hard. What's more, now that the fast fleet has returned, if this really happens, how can you look at it, it will also be a loss for the high seas fleet, and the other party's head will not show off, right?

Therefore, when the huge British Empire fleet was killed from the Shetland Islands, Jericho still couldn't figure out what the other side was trying to do, but this did not prevent him from cautiously making some preparations, for example, waiting until the fast fleet converged before going to trouble the High Seas Fleet!

After the last encounter, Jericho had already discovered that the large and slow Grand Fleet was too slow to react in the face of the high seas fleet composed of all-high-speed warships, and would fall into passivity and even crisis if he was not careful, so much so that in his letter to Sir Fischer, Jericho admitted that if the Grand Fleet faced the high seas fleet, if the other party wanted to leave, he had no way at all. Only if the fast fleet is in good shape, the large fleet is likely to inflict heavy damage on the opponent with the cooperation of the fast fleet.

"If we can't meet under perfect circumstances, then we'd rather choose to evacuate for the time being." At the end of the report, Jericho said.

However, it was not only the British who were blindfolded, but many within the German fleet were also skeptical about the purpose of the cruise. However, a large number of middle- and lower-level officers and soldiers did not care, as long as they knew that there would be no danger in following them out, and maybe they could make some benefits. Anyway, it's not that I haven't met with the Grand Fleet, it's really not good, it's good if you can't run?

"Your Highness, do you want to see how well the High Seas Fleet can respond when the elite of the British Fleet gathers?" Lieutenant General Scheer walked up to the prince and asked in a whisper.

"There is a purpose, but it is not the only one. The High Seas Fleet is not just a ship for those of us who sail the seas. Underwater, in the air, there are our people. The prince said very vaguely.

Thinking about these things hidden underwater or flying high in the sky, Scheer seemed to think of something. "Is this a temptation?" Scheer asked.

"I feel like you're going in the right direction, but you're thinking about things from a different angle!" The prince said.
