"Weichen Command!" Yu Kun replied respectfully, but then frowned and said, "Your Majesty, when our Admiralty analyzed this naval battle, we found something suspicious. ”

"Suspicious?" Ren Chao couldn't help frowning, "Let's hear it!" ”

"According to the information we have and the analysis of the situation in the Battle of Jutland. The commander of the German Ocean Fleet, Scheer, devised a bold offensive plan: first, a small number of battleships and cruisers would begin a series of hit-and-run attacks along the British coast to lure part of the British fleet forward, and then, if it was in his favor, concentrate the main forces of the Ocean Fleet and defeat the British main fleet in a decisive battle. To realize this plan, Scheer spent four months, sending battle cruisers, submarines, and "Zeppelin" airships to attack the east coast of Britain several times. and carry out mine-laying and reconnaissance operations. On 30 May, he devised a plan to lure the Royal Navy into a trap. His bait was Franz cruising off the coast of Norway? Feng? A fleet of battlecruisers and light cruisers under the command of Admiral Hipper. He reasoned that the British would not send an entire fleet to intercept a limited invasion. The full force of the High Seas Fleet commanded by Scheer followed fifty miles later. If the British attacked, Hipper, after a symbolic resistance, turned the rudder and brought the pursuers within range of Scheer's Grand Fleet, where they were encircled and annihilated. ”

"First of all, the method of constantly attacking and harassing the enemy, and then sending a small fleet as a bait to lure the enemy deeper, and then gather and annihilate it, although this tactic is not very clever, our ancestors would have used it thousands of years ago, but it is also very effective, especially against relatively powerful enemies." Ren Chao nodded approvingly and said.

"But oddly enough, the British were not fooled by this. Instead, the main fleet was sent to fight a decisive battle with the German fleet, this is where Wei Chen doubted, could it be that the British had already seen through the conspiracy of the Germans? Yu Kun said with a frown.

"If something goes wrong, it's a demon, and I think this matter is probably not so simple." Ren Chao couldn't help frowning, but Ren Chao really didn't know much about this history. Although the First World War was called a world war, the main battlefield was basically confined to Europe, so for China, the attention paid to this battle was far less than that of the later Second World War. Therefore, Ren Chao's understanding of this naval battle is really limited. When Yu Kun said this, Ren Chao couldn't help but be a little curious.

"Elf, can you give me a copy of the details of the Battle of Jutland. I wonder how the British saw through the German conspiracy. Ren Chao communicated with the elf in his mind.

"No problem, if it's the details of the Battle of Jutland, you only need 100,000 points, but if you want to know how the British saw through the Germans' conspiracy, you need 1 million points." The elf replied with a wicked smile.

"Why don't you grab it!" Ren Chao said angrily. Despite this, Ren Chao still did not hesitate to buy this information, one million points is really nothing for the current Ren Chao, because now Ren Chao's fixed income is only a few hundred million points per month.

Ren Chao took a brief look at this information and quickly came to a conclusion. "The reason why the British were able to see through the Germans' conspiracy was actually very simple, because the British had deciphered the Germans' radio codes not long ago, so the Germans' battle plans were not a secret to the British." Ren Chao said with a helpless sigh.

"What? How could the British have deciphered the German code so lightly? Ren Chao's voice fell. The cabinet ministers present frowned, and it was Yang Jichang who preemptively raised such a question.

Ren Chao sighed helplessly and said, "I don't want to believe it either, but it's a fact." But don't worry, the British were able to crack the German radio code by accident, August 25, 1914. The German Navy light cruiser "Magdeburg" ran aground in the Gulf of Finland after a mine (one said to be a rock), and just as the German Navy destroyer was rescuing the officers and men of the abandoned ship, the Russian Navy ship suddenly appeared and shot away the German destroyer, with the result that the German army could not completely blow up the wreckage of the "Magdeburg". Later, Russian divers accidentally found a German Navy codebook and flag book in the wreck of a German warship and provided it to Britain, so that the British Admiralty could easily decipher the German Navy's radio code. So before the Battle of Jutland, the British knew in advance about the plans of the Germans. ”

"I see!" Only then did the ministers suddenly realize.

"Alright, let's not talk about that. Although the British already knew the Germans' plan to lure the enemy in advance, and the strength of the British fleet in this battle was far superior to that of the German fleet, but after this battle, the British losses were much higher than those of the Germans. Ren Chao said with a stern face.

"We at the Admiralty have also held a meeting to discuss this. In the end, it was concluded that the main reason why the Germans were able to win was that the German navy was more advanced in terms of tactics than the British fleet, and it can be said that the British were too rigid and outdated in terms of tactics. Before the war, the British Navy originally had objective advantages and the advantage of being the first to take advantage of the opportunity, and could make calculations according to its plans, outwit it and improve combat efficiency, but due to the successive mistakes of the British front-line commanders, it first indiscriminately pursued and killed the German avant-garde fleet with the task of luring the enemy; Then, when the main force engages, they are afraid to give up the advantageous fighters that pursue the fleeing enemy; In the end, there was no determination or courage for a decisive battle at night, and while the British fleet struggled to pursue the German fleet, the main battleships fell behind due to the slow speed, giving the Germans a chance to break through the blockade and return to base. Yu Kun replied honestly.

Yu Kun continued: "It is not difficult to see from the above situation that the key to correct operational command lies in judging the hour and sizing up the situation, measuring the enemy's use of troops, not being confused by illusions, actively conducting favorable decisive battles, avoiding unfavorable decisive battles, pursuing advantages and avoiding disadvantages, taking advantage of the situation, and actively striving for victory in the war. The strength of the strength and the pros and cons of the shape can only have the possibility of victory, and if the combat command is wrong, the battle will still be lost. On the other hand, although the British had an advantage in terms of strength, the Germans were stronger than the British Navy in terms of individual soldiers, and the main embodiment was that the hit rate of the German fleet was much higher than that of the British fleet.
