"Your Majesty, rest assured, this time the navy will be able to defeat the British, seize the sea dominance in the North Sea and even the Atlantic, and fight for the empire to win this war!" Admiral Tirpitz, Secretary of the Navy, said firmly. As the father of the German Navy, the German Navy can be said to have been built by him. At that time, the German Navy had only a few cruisers. Now it has become a huge navy with 29 battleships and 8 battlecruisers, which is second only to the British Navy in the world in terms of size and second in total tonnage.

Fortunately, the German Navy went from weak to strong over the decades, during which time he received the full support of Kaiser Wilhelm II. It was with the support of Kaiser Wilhelm II that Germany was able to invest so much financial, material and manpower in the navy, and was able to quickly catch up with the British navy. Although the German Navy now has a slightly smaller number of capital ships than the British Navy, such a small difference in numbers is almost negligible in naval warfare. If the German navy had had a little better luck, it would have won the naval battle very easily. Not to mention the fact that the battleships of the German Navy generally performed better than the British Navy. In addition, the German Navy also had these four 'Bavaria-class' battleships, which had four twin 381mm guns and could easily send any British Navy battleship to the bottom of the sea. And the British Navy's 'Elizabeth II-class' battleships are still in the tense outfitting on the slipway, and they are destined to be unable to catch up with this naval battle.

"Father, I believe that the Imperial Navy will be able to achieve victory. We've been preparing for this victory for too long! The British have been the hegemons of the seas for hundreds of years, and it is time for us Germany, to replace them! Crown Prince William also said excitedly. He was also a staunch supporter of the Navy. The thought that the German Navy would defeat the British Navy this time and send Germany to the status of the hegemon of the sea and even the hegemon of the world made his blood boil. Although the naval strength of several of the world's major powers is still very strong, Crown Prince Wilhelm believes that as long as it can defeat the British navy, then Germany will be a worthy maritime hegemon. As for the other powers, China and the United States, they were not taken seriously by him at all. When I went to China to attend the wedding of the Chinese Emperor and the Seven Princesses of Bavaria. He was deeply struck by the Chinese Navy's 'Han-class' battleships, and now the German Navy had 'King-class' battleships that rivaled the Chinese Navy's 'Han-class' battleships, as well as the more powerful 'Bavaria-class' battleships. Of course, the Chinese Navy also has 'Tang-class' battleships. And it was in service earlier than the battleships of the 'Bavaria class' of the German Navy. But Crown Prince Wilhelm thought that the German Navy's battleships were more powerful than the Chinese Navy's in terms of the industrial strength of both China and Germany.

Almost all the people who participated in this secret meeting had this belief, and everyone firmly believed that in this decisive battle with the British Navy, the German Navy would definitely win the final victory. They all regarded this decisive battle of the navy as a hope for a quick victory in this war. Now the war on land has become a dilemma. The Navy has become the only breakthrough and hope for Germany!

"I am glad that the Navy has such confidence. I also believe that the final victory must belong to Germany. Lord Tirpitz, tell us about the specific plans of the Navy! Kaiser Wilhelm II suppressed the excitement in his heart. Speak. It was as if he had seen the German Navy cruising the seas, sinking all the warships of the British Royal Navy. He had waited too long for this day. If Germany wants to dominate the world, it can only step on the corpse of the hegemon of the previous generation, Britain. Once defeated by the British. After winning the war and consolidating the resources of the whole of Europe. Germany will quickly defeat other countries, including its former ally China, and become the new world hegemon!

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Admiral Tirpitz nodded, then opened the text he had brought and introduced it to everyone. The admirals of the navy already knew about the plan, or rather, it was completed under their leadership. But Kaiser Wilhelm II, Crown Prince Wilhelm, the Chief of the General Staff, General Falkenhain, and Prince Heinrich did not know much about it.

"Your Majesty, after many years of construction, the Imperial Navy now has 29 battleships and 8 battlecruisers. Among them, the battleships included 8 'Nassau-class' battleships, namely 'Nassau', 'West**', 'Rhineland', 'Posen', 'Hamburg', 'Hanover', 'Hesse' and 'Bremen'. 8 battleships of the 'Helgoland class', namely 'Helgoland', 'Ostfrisland', 'Thuringia', 'Oldenburg', 'Rhine', 'East Prussia', 'Byrne' and 'Saar'. 5 'Caesar-class' battleships, namely 'Caesar', 'Frederick the Great', 'Catherine', 'King Albert' and 'Regent Luitpold'. 4 'King-class' battleships, namely 'King', 'Elector', 'Frontier Governor' and 'Crown Prince'. 4 battleships of the 'Bavarian class', namely 'Bavaria', 'Baden', 'Württemberg' and 'Saxony'. The battle cruisers included 3 'von. Morality. The Tann-class 'battle cruisers, respectively' von. Morality. Tann', 'Scharnhorst', and the improved 'Seydlitz', two 'Moltke-class' battle cruisers, 'Moltke', 'Goburn', and three 'D-Flinger-class' battle cruisers, 'D-Fringer', 'Lützov', 'Hindenburg'. "said Admiral Tirpitz.

Everyone else nodded, and they were very clear about the strength of the German Navy. Still, when they heard Marshal Tirpitz read out these advanced battleships one by one, it still made their blood boil.

Admiral Tirpitz paused and continued: "Our enemy, the British Navy, has 1 'Dreadnought-class' battleship (the other five 'Dreadnought-class' battleships have been sunk or captured by China in the Red Sea and the Mediterranean), 6 'Bellerophon-class' battleships, 6 'St. Vincent-class' battleships, 4 'Neptune' battleships, 3 'Giant-class' battleships, 4 'Orion-class' battleships, 4 'King George V-class' battleships, 7 The Iron Duke-class battleships, as well as five more 'Queen Elizabeth-class' battleships and five 'Vengeance-class' battleships, are in the works. Even counting the 5 'Queen Elizabeth-class' battleships and the 5 'revenge-class' battleships in the back, the British Royal Navy also has 35 battleships. In addition, the Royal Navy has 10 battle cruisers, including 3 'Invincible' class battlecruisers ('Invincible', 'Indomitable', 'Indomitable'), 3 'Indomitable' class battlecruisers ('Indefatigable', 'New Zealand', 'Australia'), and 4 'Lion-class' battlecruisers ('Lion', 'Royal Princess', 'Queen Mary', and the improved 'Tiger'). Although, the British Navy had 6 more battleships than ours, and two more battlecruisers. However, our warships are generally better than theirs. Moreover, I believe that after this naval battle, the five 'Queen Elizabeth-class' battleships and the five 'revenge-class' battleships that the British are building will stay on the slipway forever. Or, join the battle sequences of the German Navy! ”

"Haha! That's right, having won this naval battle, those battleships will belong to us! Crown Prince William laughed. If the German Navy won this victory, although it would lose a lot of battleships, it would also capture some British Navy battleships, and the ten new battleships under construction would make the German Navy strength go to a higher level. The German Navy will also become the most powerful in the world as a result. Of course, the prerequisite was that the German Navy would defeat the British Navy and win the decisive battle.

"The specific plan is as follows. Commander of the High Seas Fleet Reconnaissance Detachment Franz. Feng. Vice Admiral Hippe led a reconnaissance fleet of eight battle cruisers to attack the British naval forces tasked with monitoring and blockading the German coast, as well as minelaying and submarine attacks on the British coast, so as to kill and injure the British fleet. When the results of such operations have accumulated to the point where the naval strength of both sides is equal, all our forces must be ready and assembled to try to find unfavorable fighters for a decisive battle in the fleet. According to the information we have obtained, the main fleet of the British Navy is currently in Scapa Bay, and the British Admiral John Brown is currently in the middle of Scapa Bay. Jellico conducted. In addition, British Vice Admiral David Brown. A detachment of battlecruisers of the British Navy led by Betty was anchored at Rosyth. Lieutenant General Hippe's target was David Shpe. Battleship detachment of the British Navy under Vice Admiral Betty. And lure this detachment of battle cruisers into the trap we have already laid and annihilate them in one fell swoop! At that time, the strength of both sides will be reversed, and we will gain absolute superiority. Defeat the main force of the British Navy rushing to the battlefield in one fell swoop! "said Admiral Tirpitz.

The plan, which was almost seamless, would have had the German Navy win in the event of no surprises.

"When is the plan to be implemented?" Kaiser Wilhelm II asked.

"May 30th at the end of this month!" Marshal Tirpitz replied!
