During the entire airship battle, the German side won a big victory, the only loss, that is, 5 airships, the rest was only injured, although this loss is a bit large, but compared to the opposite British side, it was a real big advantage, the British side was shot down close to 50 airships, this number, even the British Empire, is a little painful, 50 million US dollars, 10 million pounds of loss, even Britain can not afford it, the War Department and the Admiralty, respectively, launched a scapegoat, Even Churchill, a new secretary of the Admiralty, was a little depressed, and was not only directly reprimanded by Henry, but also strongly challenged by several deputy ministers within the Admiralty.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, this sentence is not only placed at home, but also abroad, Churchill in his thirties, became the first commander of the British Navy, radical attitude, to a certain extent, catering to the ideas of the upper class, but there are still many different opinions, the strength of the conservatives in the British fleet is not a lot at all, under the premise of suffering a lot of losses, the rise of conservatives is almost inevitable.

For this reason, the Admiralty was a lot more careful when setting certain plans, and then, all the anti-submarine fleets were very careful, from the original 12 teams, reduced to 4 teams, almost each of them had about 3 listeners, by the way, the number of the fleet also increased to as many as 50 ships, you know, an anti-submarine fleet is only about ten warships, 3 together, it is only more than 30, but the Admiralty in order to ensure safety, do not hesitate to take out most of the reserve warships. In almost every anti-submarine fleet, 8 heavy cruisers and about 12 light cruisers were replenished, these cutting-edge warships. The so-called anti-submarine is not taken into account at all, they are cutting-edge artillery ships.

Because of this, such a fleet, after facing the same number of fleets, will definitely not fall behind, which fleet before, the size of 10 ships. It was such a nightmare to be defeated by about 20 warships and annihilated. It is impossible to appear again in the Royal Navy.

The change of the anti-submarine fleet is only part of the Admiralty's big move, and the fast fleet and the cruising fleet have also increased patrols and blockades of the Baltic side, that is, the Baltic side. More than a certain number of fleets. It was no longer possible to pass through the Baltic Sea and enter the North Sea, unless Germany was preparing for a strategic decisive battle with Britain.

Of course, it was impossible for Germany to have a strategic decisive battle with Britain, which also strangled Germany's anti-submarine fleet that continued to attack Britain, but fortunately, the reduced anti-submarine fleet had a relatively fixed route, and to a certain extent, reduced the losses of submarines. As for the large number of warships blocking the passage of Germany out of the country, there were not many warships going out before. Not to mention now, besides, Germany's actions have not stopped.

In the northwest of Berlin, Germany, in a very inconspicuous small military camp, more than 300 German soldiers are training here, they are burly, excellent physical fitness, and there are all kinds of unique skills, the training cost of such a small unit is already equivalent to the cost of a regiment of the regular army, or even half a division.

This unit, which was named Unit X, was precisely after seeing some combat methods in the northwest, and under the suggestion of the northwest, the 300 members of the newly organized special forces of Germany were all from the regular army, and the shortest service was 3 years, and the maximum service was 7 years.

Training in this vicinity, in terms of physical fitness, has completed the industrialization of Germany, has been sparing no effort to improve the quality of the people in all aspects, the body is also one of them, the physical fitness of urban residents, much stronger than China, but also, the population base is still a little smaller, targeted selection, plus a strong elimination rate, now it is 50:1, now the remaining 300 people, It was also selected from among the 15,000 successful candidates, and after more than 5 months of training, it is now basically in its prototype and can participate in special operations missions independently.

Originally, it was just a whim of the General Staff to prepare the troops in the northwest and form a special operations unit, but after months of training, the German War Department also went from not paying attention to it at the beginning to discovering the role of these troops, especially after being divided into three small detachments and successfully entering Paris, and after investigating a lot of top-secret information and the layout of the city defense, the German War Department thoroughly attached importance to this unit, which was an important supplement to the army and played a huge role in the army's performance of certain war tasks.

Although this unit is not a super-strong army in the traditional sense, and the strength of a head-on confrontation may not even be useful with a strong regiment, but in a specific field, he can do what a division or even an army cannot do, whether it is reconnaissance of Paris, or some special attacks behind enemy lines, it has done it very well. Now, this part of the special forces has a new task.

A very simple task, to go to England, dispose of the Listener Academy, and ensure that Britain does not rely on the role of the Listener to liquidate the submarines of the Far Sea Fleet on a large scale, which is of great benefit to Germany's maritime strategy towards Britain.

In the previous inexplicable war, Britain's reaction, including the use of airships later, after a serious discussion, the German Admiralty found that Britain attached more importance to the listeners than they imagined, in this sense, the German submarine to the British side, for the British, very deadly, so that Britain chose a very unreliable human special ability, which is irreplaceable in the war.

The most important thing is that the Admiralty, after careful analysis, believes that the appearance of listeners is, under certain circumstances, a great threat to Yuan Hai's fleet, and to a certain extent, if the number of listeners increases significantly, Germany's submarine forces will not be so convenient to contain Britain as it is now.

As far as the sea is concerned, Britain and Germany are tantamount to exploding each other, and Britain has completely blocked Germany's high seas fleet in the Baltic Sea, and it is impossible for Germany's high seas fleet to go out to carry out activities, similar to the last time, what happened to Britain's anti-submarine fleet is impossible.

Relatively speaking, the British merchant ships suffered huge losses, relatively speaking, as an island country, the degree of loss is above Germany, after all, Germany is only cut off from the outside of traffic, the loss is not big, Germany still has sea and land forces, and even has the 3B railway, this unplanned channel, because of the fear that the northwest will join the camp of the Entente, even the British who control Malacca, for the northwest to Basra to transport materials, but just watch, no matter how unhappy the heart, it is impossible to do it directly.

But for Britain, the constant sinking of various merchant ships is simply a non-stop bloodletting, which is definitely not a comfortable thing for the British Empire, and may even affect the stability of Britain, machines can use all kinds of energy, but people have to eat, food, clothing, housing and many other aspects, there are certain needs, these needs, are precisely the materials, especially the huge amount of materials provided.

As a naval power, Britain is more deeply aware of this than Germany, and this is why after discovering the listeners, it immediately increased its investment and strived to expand this number as much as possible, which has reached the point of completely limiting the ability of German submarines, but based on the problem of talent, the 12 carefully selected, as for the ones that have been written down, relatively speaking, are a little worse.

This point, when Germany did not know, would have been very smooth, now that I know, of course, we can't let the listeners plan continue, even if they take risks, they must be eliminated, just like before, the German attack fleet ventured out of the Baltic Sea and attacked the anti-submarine fleet, this time, it was replaced by the British mainland.

If you haven't seen the strength of the special forces, no one would have thought that a direct attack on the British mainland, only more than 30 kilometers of the English Channel, for anyone who does not have the premise of controlling the sea, it is simply like a moat, but submarines and small strong forces have become an alternative choice to break through them.

Tirpitz coordinated and made a request to the War Office, which, after reviewing Tirpitz's request, after careful consideration, especially after weighing the British Navy's pressure on Germany, finally mobilized about 50 special operators.

After all-round selection and huge investment, the special forces of very high value of each person, under the requirements of the Admiralty, carry out the tasks related to the navy, which is the first time for the War Department, which considers itself the best in the world, to use the combat power of the army for the benefit of the navy, which is more or less contrary to the tradition of the army, but the British navy is under real pressure, so that the army has to do this.

With the help of the General Staff, the basic plan was quickly reached, the special combat team members will take the submarine, secretly enter the vicinity of the United Kingdom, of course, in order to ensure safety, the submarine will stop more than 5 kilometers away from the coastline, under the protection of the night, the submarine will risk to surface, and then take advantage of the night, these special combat personnel, will be through special tools, oxygen cylinders, diving suits, and even some simple tools, across the sea area of about 5 kilometers, and then enter the hinterland of the United Kingdom, Make final preparations for the raid.

Even for this battle, two secret spies will be activated, they are next to the Listener base, will provide them with shelter and rest, the real action is the second night after arrival, at all costs, completely destroy this Listener base, and completely hit the anti-submarine forces of the British.

The British, unaware, had high hopes that the training of the listeners would increase the armament of the German submarines for Britain and strive to strangle the German submarines to sleep, but because of the early exposure, they suffered a devastating blow and almost collapsed.
