"If they continue to take such action, then we can conclude that the other party may choose to fight us."

Chapter 1159 The British's Choice

Of course, the price of doing this is not without. It is indeed very threatening to rush out with your family and his troops, but it will also make the German fleet lose its proud advantage in aviation. In this case, Jericho does not think that an opponent will easily choose to take a gamble. After all, even if the main battleship can fight, the huge gap between auxiliary warships will cause too many variables in the battle.&1t;/p>

In fact, in Jericho's opinion, the Ruprecht prince who is commanding the German navy now does not dare to take risks as people imagine. For example, every time the prince chooses to attack in good weather, it shows this. He would rather give up the opportunity to attack than put his fleet in the mist of war. In Jericho's report to the Admiralty, he commented on the prince in this way: "Below his bold and brave appearance, he is actually a calm and strict heart. He is a genius military strategist who effectively utilizes his technical and tactical advantages and has achieved incredible results. So he is definitely not lucky!"&1t;/p>

"If they continue to take such action, then we can conclude that the other party may choose to fight us." Although Jericho analyzed that the enemy on the other side would not be so reckless in handing over the outcome of a war with absolute national destiny to fate, he had to face up to Lieutenant General Geram's analysis.&1t;/p>

"In addition, there is another possibility that the high seas fleet will attack so frequently, that is, to reopen the North Sea blockade!" Jericho said after thinking for a moment. It is a fact that the German fleet weakens the British fleet through continuous attacks, and then all inferences must revolve around this fact.&1t;/p>

The British are not stupid either. When a large number of warships are sent to the dock for maintenance, the remaining fleets must be reorganized to maintain combat effectiveness. If it is really reached a limit, Jericho must lead the fleet to abandon the Shetland Islands and return to the Forth Bay to join the express fleet of Thomas. In this way, the battle situation will return to the previous situation. The British fleet can ensure the safety of the local offshore. However, there is no time to take into account the North Sea blockade, and then the continuous supply of materials can be transported to Germany through the North Sea.&1t;/p>

"That's right, the Germans must have meant this. By constantly consuming us, we force us to return to Fors Bay and release the lasso that was pinching the Germans' neck!" Jericho said after throwing away the pencil in his hand. At this moment, Jericho found his target again. He at least thought he had guessed the other party's purpose!&1t;/p>

However, having an insight into the other party's plan does not mean that the problem can be solved. Jericho still has no better solution to the situation in front of him. "Only after the eighth and ninth Queen Elizabeth-class battleships are put into service, we can completely curb the other party's frequent attacks." Admiral Jericho sighed, and the two Queen-class battleships behind will not be completed in March next year. There are still 3 months left. If we consider that Germany has three Bavarian-class battleships that are being built up, this advantage period will probably be quite short.&1t;/p>

What Jericho did not expect was that Lieutenant General Geram was even more pessimistic! He even believed that it was necessary to overthrow all the existing warships before the construction of the British Empire, because these warships were considered "useless and fragile"! Including the current Queen and Revenge-class battleships!&1t;/p>

"Haha, I don't think the Queen Elizabeth-class battleships are worth our expectations. How can these guys who may not even win the Hullgrain-class battleships face more and more Bavarian-class battleships? They can't defeat their opponents, and they can't defend their shells, but they can't run away! The Queen Elizabeth-class battleships' performance on the battle line is simply terrible, not only them, but also the Revenge-class!"&1t;/p>

"We should thank the Queen-class battleships for building only 9, which allows us to invest more resources in new battleships. If we want to start a new battleship, it should at least be at the level of the Japanese Fuso-class battleship! Even the use of 16-inch naval guns is the best choice!" Lieutenant General Geram did not hide his disappointment in the design of the British warship.&1t;/p>

"This... I will reflect your suggestions to the above." Jericho said with some embarrassment. He could feel that the navy was already full of resentment and anger towards the warships in his hands!&1t;/p>

"If we still have the battleship sinking in the next battle, then I would recommend giving up the North Sea blockade before the new Queen Elizabeth-class battleship is put into service." Jericho said to Lieutenant General Geram in a tentative tone. It seems that this decision is very humiliating, but it may not be the case. After all, the number of main battleships in the German High Seas Fleet is small, so almost every time the German fleet attacks, almost the whole army will be on the same side. After this battle, although the three queens were hit into the dock, our own warships also need maintenance and maintenance. This time is at least 2 weeks. Considering that the German fleet usually only attacks in good weather, and in the North Sea in winter, there are not many such weather, so the opponent cannot attack at any time.&1t;/p>

Conservatively speaking, the next time the German attacks again should be three weeks later! There is only three months from now until the eighth and ninth queens are in service, and the time for the German fleet to go home to rest after attacking again, even if the next battle fails. The British fleet abandons the North Sea blockade, then the interval is only one and a half months. Jericho has reduced this impact to the lowest level!&1t;/p>

All Jericho can do under the current circumstances is to delay time as much as possible. Relying on the strong productivity of the British Empire, slowly accumulating a fleet that is enough to crush the opponent. The German fleet has an upper limit, and the British can now start new warships and are expected to be in service within two years.&1t;/p>

"Maybe it is a good choice to directly draw on the Japanese Fuso-class battleships or build new class battleships equipped with 16-inch artillery." At the end of the report to the Admiralty, Jericho thought about it again and again and added this sentence.&1t;/p>

However, just as Jericho was racking his brains to think about the future of the Royal Navy of the British Empire, another existence that once belonged to the core of the Royal Navy and successfully reached the top in history. Betty, who tasted the bitter fruit of failure in this plane, was also working hard for the future of the Royal Navy! Although this former fast fleet leader was a bit bad, it has to be said that Betty still has a unique vision in strategy and tactics! His high fighting spirit and unyielding spirit also made him still not give up in adversity. When the British Navy was at a loss, Betty wrote a tens of thousands of words to Sir Fisher.&1t;/p>
