In fact, compared with the battle of the main fleet, it is more necessary to formulate a more perfect plan for the battle of breaking the battle, because of the particularity of the naval battle, the time of the main fleet at sea will not be very long, the Battle of Jutland has only been fought for 3 days, and by the time of the 2nd World War, the real main fleet PK of several sea and air battles between the two sides is not long, such as the Battle of Midway and the Coral Sea, and the main part is only one day. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoAfter a short period of fighting, everyone retreated to the wound of the hometown ****, and then prepared to fight again. The duration of the battle at sea may be relatively long, but the capital ship Grand Fleet PK is very short. Don't talk about the night battles of various cruisers and battleships in the Battle of Kuah Island, because this scale is not very large compared to the scale of the US and Japanese navies.

At the same time, even counting the battle preparation time will not be very long, taking the Battle of Jutland as an example, Admiral Schell was the commander of the German High Seas Fleet on January 18, 1916, and it was not until early February that the "Outline of Maritime Operations in the North Sea" filed by the German Fleet Command mentioned the need to attack more actively, but at this time, the plan for the Battle of Jutland was not released at all, because it was not until February 23 that Wilhelm II personally visited the High Seas Fleet and officially announced that he would entrust the discretion of fleet operations to Admiral Scheer......。 Although Scheer took his fleet around the North Sea twice after that, these events had nothing to do with Jutland.

Jutland really began to brew from mid-May, and the real Battle of Jutland started on May 31, and there were only ten days in between, so it is not of much significance to formulate a plan for the battle of the large fleet at sea now, as long as the general strategy is formulated.

But the breaking of diplomatic relations, or submarine warfare, and the breaking of camouflaged attack ships is different. Because this is a long-term process, once the war starts, there will be submarines fighting in the ocean at every moment, shuttling back and forth in the North Sea, repairing and maintaining their own bases. This is a systems project. As early as before World War 1, Germany realized that submarines would be divided into three groups, and then constantly rotated to fight. And if we want to learn some lessons from the experience of World War II, Germany will also establish long-wave radio stations from now on to ensure communication with submarines, build large supply submarines or camouflage supply ships to provide fuel and ammunition for submarines fighting in the ocean, and even crew .......

Compared with the construction and training of the main fleet, the German Navy already has a relatively complete set of measures, a little change, and then go step by step. However, submarine warfare and diplomatic break-up operations, as well as ocean-clad camouflage and replenishment, this is the first time for Germany, and it will take a lot of time and effort. And when Ruprecht **** and the Admiralty Triumvirate met with the Kaiser again, the problem they said was to break diplomatic relations and cruise operations!

"Overall, because of the tragic geography, it is very difficult for us to get supplies from the outside world, and the cost of the British blockade is very small, and the cost of our blockade is relatively large. But because of the appearance of a special weapon, the British sea transport will face serious challenges, and if we can use this weapon well, then it will definitely achieve considerable results, and even a draw for the British is possible! When His Royal Highness **** said to the Kaiser.

"You mean submarines? It's a novelty, but how does it work? Admiral Bohr, I heard about the Bavarian submarine you rented and conducted a series of experiments, and tell me about the results of your research. The Kaiser looked at the latter and said.

"This submarine is very difficult to defend against with current technology, because we have no way of finding out the exact location of the submarine underwater, we are equipped with a device called hydrophone, but it is not very useful, and the depth charges we designed to attack the submarine are of some poor quality, and we cannot control the depth and time of detonation. If purely in terms of survivability, the submarine was successful. ”

"However, it is also more difficult for submarines to capture targets, especially underwater, because they are very slow, and the underwater speed is generally only about 5 knots, not to mention attacking warships, it is difficult to catch merchant ships. Therefore, if it is used for the main fleet to engage in battle, it is difficult to pose a threat to the capital ship unless a large number of submarines form a continuous cordon or set up an ambush in the predetermined sea area. ”

"Of course, if you want to attack merchant ships, the situation is much better, because merchant ships are not armed, and submarines can even be attacked with deck guns after they have surfaced, which seems to be much more efficient than torpedoes, and we used to simulate attacking merchant ships with submarines off coast, and the best captain intercepted fifteen transport ships of various kinds in a week. The results are enormous compared to the price we may pay. It is necessary to use it as an important auxiliary force. Admiral Pol said.

"But if there are destroyers to escort ships or lay mines, the role of submarines is much smaller. There are many restrictions on the target of an underwater submarine, and the water will be attacked by a destroyer, and as for the minefield, the submarine is almost impossible to crack, right? The Kaiser thought for a moment and said.

"We've thought about it, it's not difficult for submarines to get through minefields, because they can follow the other side'......s merchant ships or warships. If you want to attack your opponent in a minefield, it is impossible. As for the use of destroyers to escort ships, it is indeed possible, but this is a great constraint on the resources of the Navy. The British Empire had thousands of ships of all kinds sailing across the oceans, and they did not have so many destroyers to escort them. Admiral Pol said.

"In fact, the biggest restriction on the combat capability of submarines is the tonnage, 500 tons of submarines are too small, if we want to break diplomatic relations in the ocean or on the west coast of the United Kingdom, our submarine tonnage should be more than 700 tons. And a certain amount is needed. And to establish a systematic way of logistical support, by the way, there is also communication liaison, in the ocean, it is difficult for submarines to communicate with each other. With longwave radio, our coverage is also relatively small, at most covering the seas around the UK, and there is nothing we can do in the Atlantic. Admiral Bol thought for a moment and said.

"Well, well, Ruprecht ****, tell me, how many submarines do we need if we want to starve the British? What kind of submarine is needed? The Kaiser thought for a moment and said.

"I hope that before the war the number of submarines we will reach at least 100 units! Among them, there will be at least 60 ocean-going submarines with a displacement of more than 700 tons, and these submarines will become the key to our strangulation of the British sea transportation lines, and the remaining 40 submarines will be responsible for operations in the Baltic Sea and with the high seas fleet, as the assassins and eyes and ears of the fleet.
