"In that case, I hope to talk about it again tomorrow, and I'm a little dizzy tonight. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info and you need to prepare a lot of things. "I drank a lot though. But Ruprecht can also be regarded as an "alcohol killing field", and there is a noise next door, so there must be someone. And it will be those people who listen to the conversation between the emperor and a crown prince about the navy, isn't this lice on the bald head, obviously? Rather than saying it like this, both sides are embarrassed. It's better to talk about it tomorrow.

"Well, well, it's a little late today, tomorrow at nine o'clock in the morning, and the Admiralty guys will come with all the things navy-related. Today is indeed not suitable for talking about these more troublesome topics. The Kaiser also realized that the prince might have discovered something, and it was obviously not good to talk about it at this time, so he agreed to the prince's request with a little embarrassment. The next day, we will continue to talk.

At nine o'clock the next morning, when the prince walked into the conference hall on time, he saw a somewhat haggard Tirpitz, a somewhat depressed von Tirpitz. Admiral Pol, as well as the commander of the Rapid Fleet, Rear Admiral Hipper. Admiral Liole and Sher did not come, the former leading the naval office and taking care of the administration, while the latter kept an eye on the fleet.

When the Kaiser and the other participants were seated, the first item of the meeting began in earnest—with Tirpitz, Minister of State for the Navy, presenting his doctrine of limited warfare. After all, whether it is to the Kaiser, or the Kaiser to hand over this document to the prince, it is a private act, and the other people present, such as the Reich Chancellor, Moltke Jr. and others, do not know, so they still need to explain it.

"Having learned the lessons of the last naval battle of the Gulf of Hell, I believe that the Imperial Navy should respond to the actions of the British in a more proactive way. And in a situation where the overall strength is weaker than that of the British, we should give full play to the role of the 1st Reconnaissance Fleet and mobilize the British Navy by constantly attacking the British coast. ”

"We are all aware of the disposition of the British fleet, the main force of the Grand Fleet is deployed in the area around the Shetland Islands, blocking the northern part of the North Sea. The area around the English Channel is dominated by a variety of old battleships that were used to defend the Channel. In addition, they deployed two fast fleets between the north and the south, one was the Harwich light cruiser formation with Harwich as its home port, and the other was the ever-active Betty fleet, which had the most elite battle cruisers in the British Empire. ”

"So the fleet involved in the attack can only be Admiral Hipper's fast fleet, the first reconnaissance fleet can easily deal with the light cruisers of the Harwich fleet, and at the same time the battle cruisers have enough speed to choose to evacuate before the arrival of the enemy's main fleet, and if conditions permit, we can also lure the British fleet to the minefield, submarine ambush area, or main fleet ambush area near the sea to annihilate it." Tirpitz said.

After ten minutes, Tirpitz finally finished the general plan, which was simply harassment, and then let the British divide their forces, and finally use ambushes to destroy part of the opponent's fleet, thus gradually reversing the disadvantage on the main ships of the navy. Well, it's good, exactly as it ...... historically.

"It's very proactive, at least much more proactive than the original plan, but there are a lot of debatable problems with this strategy." The prince was already sure who had been next door last night, so he didn't have to worry so much about it.

"How many fast battleships did the British have?" The prince asked first.

"They have a total of 4 super dreadnought battlecruisers, namely the Tiger, the Lion, the Celestial Princess, the Queen Mary, and 6 dreadnought battlecruisers, and if you count the Queen Elizabeth-class fast battleships, then they now have a total of 14 fast battleships."

"That's the problem, Betty is the commander of a fast fleet with the rank of lieutenant general, then he can mobilize at least 2 battle cruiser detachments, that is, at least 6 ships, in terms of numbers, the size of the British fleet is larger than ours, and the British light warships also have an advantage, if their capital ships attack, then it is completely possible to build a cordon. And once Betty chooses to attack, especially if the battlefield is set off the coast of Britain, it is impossible for the Grand Fleet to do nothing, and it is very likely that the British will enter the battle with more than 2 dozen battleships. So where will our response fleet be? And how to deal with the coordination between the two sides? The prince asked.

The British, as the dominant side, especially Jericho, were also known for their steadiness, and they would never break up their huge fleet into small pieces. Taking the Battle of Dogger Sandbank as an example, in addition to the intelligence problem in this battle, there is also a big gap between the deployment of the two sides, from a neutral point of view, this time the defeat of the Germans, the sinking of a Blucher is already the result of luck and Hipper's proper command!

Let's start with the commander of the German High Seas Fleet at that time, von Brown. Ingnorl, this guy can't afford to sail just because the British Grand Fleet had just been on a cruise a few days ago and inferred that the British Grand Fleet was doing coaling. Then, when the Hipper fleet was about to be dispatched, the main force of the German High Seas Fleet was still playing soy sauce in the Baltic Sea! Please, the most elite fast battleship in the German fleet went out like this, and there was no boss behind it, should I say that you are too confident, or too second?! Or maybe Ingnoll tossed a coin and bet that Hipper wouldn't touch the British fleet?

Okay, let's see how the British do it. Not to mention Betty's 1st and 2nd battle cruiser detachments and Goodenough's light cruiser formation. Naturally, they set sail from Rosyth to the north, while the Harwich fleet in the south also began to move north to search the German fleet. Moreover, the British also felt that it was unsafe to do so, and dragged out 6 more former dreadnoughts. Then the Grand Fleet also began to move south. Basically, it can be said that as soon as Betty acted, the entire British Navy moved, and even if there was a problem, Betty would definitely not have a big problem with the large fleet behind her. (Although the actual Grand Fleet came very late, it was difficult to catch up with the battle)

However, in the end, as everyone knows, Hipper's 3 battle cruisers and 1 mounted cruiser were beaten by Betty's 5 battle cruisers. The two sides engaged at 9 a.m., and then Hipper asked for reinforcements, and in reality, Ingnoll could not even leave the Gulf of Yard before half past two in the afternoon, except for sending a clear telegram to Hipper to scare the British! Isn't this a cheat?

Although Ingnoll is no longer the commander of the High Seas Fleet in this plane, the state of the German fleet is still not good, because the Kaiser still has scruples about the use of the fleet. And this scruple caused most of the German battleships to be confined in the harbor and to move their hands and feet.
