Chapter 407: Sneak Attack Plan (800 votes plus change)

"In addition to aircraft carriers, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince pays special attention to submarines. In his conversation with His Excellency Marshal Count Tirpitz, www.biquge.info proposed that in the future there would be only three types of warships in the navy, namely, aircraft carriers, destroyers, and submarines. At most, there are some other specialized warships. "Reinhardt? Admiral Scheer continued.

Lieutenant General Hipper, undoubtedly hearing such a secret for the first time, was immediately stunned. Qin Tian's remarks were too unbelievable for him. You know, there are many types of warships in the Navy now. If there were only three left, what would the future naval battles look like? Lieutenant General Hipper is really unimaginable.

However, he was fortunate afterwards. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who is a genius, is a German. It was precisely because of this that Germany was able to defeat a strong enemy in this war.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's vision is simply not something we can guess. Since His Highness is so sure, there must be a reason for him. I believe that His Highness is right. Because, His Highness is not at fault at all. Lieutenant General Hipper also said.

Reinhart? Vice Admiral Scheer nodded: "When it comes to naval development, we are nothing more than mortals. However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is definitely a god. He had a vision like a god. ”

Lieutenant General Hipperr agrees with this view.

In the same way, this makes them more confident in the future war. With the correct leadership of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who is akin to a god, how could the Imperial Navy lose?

"That's right, Your Excellency, Commander. Speaking of submarines, a submarine officer, submitted a very interesting battle plan. Perhaps, you can take a look. Lieutenant General Hipperl said suddenly.

"Oh? What battle plan? "Reinhardt? Admiral Scheer asked. Although, at the moment the submarine is not very powerful. However, since the submarine will become one of the three types of warships that Qin Tian is optimistic about in the future navy, this also makes Reinhardt? Admiral Schell also attached great importance to submarines.

"This battle plan was proposed by a submarine captain named Dönitz. He is now a lieutenant commander in the Navy. His submarines, during the war, sank many British merchant ships. When it comes to submarine warfare, he does have a great talent. Lieutenant General Hipper said.

"Oh?" Lieutenant General Hipper's words, let Reinhardt? Admiral Scheer was even more interested.

Vice Admiral Dönitz offered to pilot his submarine into Scapa Bay and launch an attack on the British Royal Navy's submarines anchored there. If successful, it would be a fatal blow to the Royal Navy's main warship anchored in Scapa Bay. It is also definitely a good opportunity to weaken the Royal Navy. Lieutenant General Hipper said.

"What? Infiltrate Scarpa's Bay for a sneak attack. My God! I have to admit that Lieutenant Colonel Dönitz is really a daring guy. However, if successful, it is a very good victory indeed. "Reinhardt? Admiral Scheer said.

The main force of the Royal Navy is now assembled in Scapa Bay. There, almost 70 percent of the Royal Navy's capital ships were assembled. If the German Navy submarines could blend in, wouldn't it be easy to sink the British Navy's capital ship with torpedoes? Even if a submarine carries a limited number of torpedoes, even sinking two or three capital ships of the British Navy will cause the British Navy to suffer heavy losses. After all, for the Royal Navy, which has suffered a lot of damage, every capital ship is invaluable. If the 'Queen Elizabeth-class' battleship or the 'Vengeance-class' battleship were sunk, it would be a major victory. Now, the battleships of the British Navy of these two classes are undoubtedly able to pose a threat to the German Navy. If they can be destroyed before the decisive battle, the certainty of victory for the High Seas Fleet will be further improved.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander. It's a very risky plan. The British gathered the main force of the Royal Navy in Scapa Bay, and its defense must have been extremely strong. Plus we are not familiar with the hydrological conditions there. So, diving into Scapa Bay is definitely not an easy task. Lieutenant General Hipper said.

Reinhart? Admiral Scheer nodded. Indeed, the whole plan is very risky, and if you are not careful, you may fail. And if you fail, you will definitely die.

"Why did Lieutenant Colonel Dönitz submit such a risky battle plan?" Reinhart? Admiral Scheer asked.

"I heard that a friend of his, who was also one of our submarine captains, was sunk by the British in a decoy scheme by the British. Therefore, he wanted to avenge his friend, so he proposed this battle plan. The General Staff also considered the plan too risky. However, Lieutenant Colonel Dönitz has been insisting. Lieutenant General Hipper said.

"The decoy plan of the British, which cost us so many submarines, is no wonder that Dönitz wanted to avenge his friend. However, as an officer, how can he be so self-willed? This battle plan is really too risky. "Reinhardt? Admiral Scheer wanted to veto the battle plan.

"Your Excellency, Commander, this battle plan is risky. However, if it can be successful, the results will be very fruitful. I think we can give it a try. "Lieutenant General Hipperr has a different opinion.

"Lieutenant Commander Dönitz is our best submarine commander, and it would be a shame to let him carry out such a risky plan if it fails." Reinhart? Lieutenant General Scheer shook his head.

"Your Excellency, Commander, precisely because Lieutenant Commander Dönitz is our most outstanding submarine commander. That's why we should have faith in him. I am sure that he will win. Lieutenant General Hipper said.

Reinhart? Admiral Scheer and Lieutenant General Hipperr could not agree on this issue. They had no choice but to report the battle plan to the Admiralty.

Qin Tian also learned about this battle plan from Marshal Count Tirpitz. He was very interested in this. Qin Tian clearly remembered that in another time and space, at the beginning of World War II, an ace captain of the Third Reich drove a submarine into Scapa Bay and carried out a sneak attack on the British Navy. This plane, the defense of the British's Scarpa's Bay, is far from being comparable to another plane. Therefore, if the submarine strikes, it has a greater chance of success.

Therefore, Qin Tian directly approved this battle plan, and asked the navy, to provide Lieutenant Commander Dönitz with all the best preparations and support possible!
