By the time Hipper was packing up and preparing to go home, the prince had already returned to Wilhelmshaven with his fleet, and when the water level rose at high tide, the whole fleet successfully entered the Yard Bay, the most important anchorage of the High Seas Fleet in the North Sea! And at this time, everyone's hearts finally fell, because, by now, they were completely safe, and the well-planned Battle of Thunder-Thorbrus had come to a successful end! The German fleet won the battle with indisputable results, which is not like the later Battle of Jutland, the losses caused to the British are insignificant, after all, even if the weakened British fast battleship group can still stabilize Hipper, the German fleet is still at an absolute disadvantage in terms of fast battleships and the main fleet, and the tactical victory not only did not increase the confidence of the officers and men of the High Seas Fleet, but also made them feel a desperate gap in strength, but this time it was different!

First of all, this time, the High Seas Fleet did not meet ...... with the Grand Fleet. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info That is to say, I have not witnessed the terrifying scene when more than 20 dreadnoughts and super dreadnoughts are deployed, and there is no earth-shattering fire when more than 100 turrets and more than 200 guns are fired in a salvo. A battle line more than ten kilometers long, a fleet of millions of tons, this kind of thing is one concept when it looks at numbers, and it is another concept to really fight, so even if the German High Seas Fleet has made great progress in this plane, the prince does not dare to meet the big fleet easily.

And the morale of the High Seas Fleet was greatly stimulated by this battle, and if you think about it, a behemoth that could only look up and feel very terrifying from a distance, and even the German top brass had little hope of defeating the Grand Fleet, was easily won in this battle, and it is true that the prince's precise planning and the various preparations of the German High Seas Fleet were very well done, and the hardships were naturally many.

However, when it comes to the rank of officers and men at the grassroots level, even the captain of the ship and the commander of most of the detachments, they do not know about the whole plan, and their perception tends to be more superficial, they think that if they can win this time, they have a huge advantage, then they will definitely win next time, and the fear of the high seas fleet for the big fleet is gone. This is of great significance for a more aggressive and proactive strategy in the future!

Of course, the most important thing is that after the end of this battle, a huge unequal advantage was formed over the British Grand Fleet. The British fast fleet is already at an absolute disadvantage! What if 4 queens come back? There is not much that 5 queens and the remaining 6 battlecruisers (1 super dreadnought and 5 dreadnought battlecruisers) can do, and if the likes of lions and tigers can still play some output, then the likes of the invincibles really have nothing to count on on the regular battle line except for sharing firepower.

There are actually 5 queens that can really fight! And is the German Navy afraid of 5 Queens? It would have been tricky if the lions and tigers had been there, but now, even if all the fast fleets of the British were entangled in the main force of the German High Seas Fleet. The prince can guarantee that it will be able to penetrate the British fast fleet in a maximum of an hour!

Therefore, even if the queens return from the Indian Ocean, the German high seas fleet's superiority in the fast fleet will still be unshakable, if you have to ask when the British fast fleet has the opportunity to compete with the Germans again, then at least wait for the British queen to reach 8, and then cut some of the R-class battleships and turn them into fast battleships, right? After all, the Bavaria of the Germans is also in service with one ship! It can be said that the prince has played an unequal advantage for quite a long time in this battle!

In addition to gaining some superiority in terms of troops, Germany also made a huge breakthrough in strategic layout, and before the outbreak of the battle, the British fleet could simultaneously ensure the deployment of sufficient forces in the Shetland Islands and the Forth of Forth at the same time, the former to block the North Sea Passage, and the latter to suppress the German High Seas Fleet Fast Fleet. And now, with the loss of a large number of warships, the situation has changed, and the Forth of Forth and Shetland Islands must give up one, and now the Bay of Forth cannot be abandoned, and once the Shetland Islands do not have the main force of the Grand Fleet, then the blockade of the so-called tenth cruiser formation is just a joke, without the main fleet to rely on. If the German fast battleships have nothing to do, they can make the British blockade line unable to maintain!

So, to some extent, the German fleet had broken the blockade of the North Sea. Until the British Grand Fleet returned to Shetland, Germany's sea lines would be somewhat unblocked. After all, the British will not directly throw a large number of auxiliary cruisers and thousands of lives into the sea in order to stop some civilian ships, not to mention anything else, the German battle cruisers will make a lot of money if they can kill an auxiliary cruiser once they can kill them! After all, there are thousands of people besides one ship! (Because the auxiliary cruisers, in addition to the normal staffing, also have the ...... to prepare a dozen or even dozens of groups of boarding fleets.) ）

And from the current point of view, the only remaining tiger in the entire British fleet can catch up with the German battle cruisers, but even if they catch up, they can't beat it! It doesn't make much sense to catch up, is it just to let Germany beat up? Therefore, before the Grand Fleet returned to Shetland, the safety factor of the German battle patrol skirmish operation was still very high, which is one of the important reasons why the prince finally agreed to the Sedritz to wander near the blockade line in the North Sea.

"Finally home!" When the last battleship entered the bay, Scheer finally breathed a sigh of relief. The fleet was now safe, the harbor was full of busy people, and the damaged ships needed to be repaired lightly before entering the Kiel Canal and then arriving at the port of Kiel, the base camp of the German fleet, and then entering the dockyard for maintenance. And the officers and soldiers have been fighting all day and also need to relax.

"Your Highness, Prince, your telegram." It was at this time that an officer sent the Kaiser's latest instructions.

"Ruprecht, you have done a very good job, and in return I will give you the glory and power to do so, and believe me, friend, the moment you return to the port of Kiel, you will enjoy the most glorious moment of your predecessors and your life." Looking at the telegram sent by the Kaiser, the prince smiled slightly, what he wanted, how could Wilhelm II think of and give it? But he did want to know what kind of reward the Kaiser would give after the victory in this battle!

"Is it the command of the Eastern Front? Or is it a promise that the Navy will cooperate in the operation at the right time? The prince guessed.
