"This is the first time I have seen all members of the High Seas Fleet attack. It is strong, fierce and fearless. Although it is not as large as the British fleet in scale, it is more agile! swift! fatal!" Looking at the giant ship beside him, Hippel's heart was surging. This is the true attack of the entire army! In addition to 17 fast battleships, there are also 3 additional slow battleships, and the light cruisers and destroyers originally assigned to the Baltic Sea were also transferred.&1t;/p>

This time, the total number of main ships dispatched by the High Seas Fleet reached 20. The number of light cruisers was 24, and the number of destroyers and torpedo boats exceeded 50! If 6 seaplane aircraft carriers were included, the number of warships attacked by the High Seas Fleet exceeded 100 times! In this world, no country can come up with such a level of configuration!&1t;/p>

The entire fleet was reorganized, with a total of 17 fast battleships forming 4 battleship squadrons. Lieutenant General Schell commanded the first and second battleship squadrons. Among them, the first battleship squadron was 5 Bavarian-class battleships, and the second battleship squadron was 3 Helgolan-class battleships and the newly improved battleship Rhineland.&1t;/p>

Hippel commanded four Bavarian-class battleships of the Third Battleship Detachment, and the Fourth Battleship Detachment was its original battleship detachment, with a total of 3 Fearless Battleships and 1 Von Detten. As for the remaining three slow battleships, the lieutenant general has never understood what these weak combat power are doing? If it is a mobile combat, then don't take them, and if it is a desperate battle, then take out a few more quasi-fair ships. Anyway, the airline has been dragged down and can still output more...&1t;/p>

The battlecruiser team still went forward to serve as a reconnaissance mission, and the remaining three battleships formed a three-row square array to follow behind. The three slow battleships were far behind and farther away. In addition to the four light cruisers assigned by the battleship cruiser team, the other four light cruisers moved with the main fleet. The forefront was about 20 nautical miles away from the main fleet. When the fleet entered the depths of the North Sea, the accompanying six seaplanes and motherships also began to release seaplanes for reconnaissance operations. And all this naturally cannot be hidden from the British!&1t;/p>

"The Germans are coming out again?! They are so difficult!" Jericho received a telegram from a British submarine squatting off the coast of Germany 2 hours ago. In addition to routinely telling Jericho about the direction and time of the German fleet, he also specifically emphasized that this time the other party is a bit large... Let Jericho be careful. The larger the scale means that he may have brought a non-fast battleship.&1t;/p>

"It's a pity that our two queens and one Revenge-class battleship are in the dock." Lieutenant General Charles Maden said with some depression.&1t;/p>

"If the Germans were just wandering around the sea, we wouldn't have to cause trouble for them." Lieutenant General Geram said, who is also a pessimist now. He believes that it is better not to fight against the opponent before the strength is restored. Because the previous battles were all the Royal Navy's losses.&1t;/p>

"No, the Thomas fleet must be allowed to join us. If the German fleet is really dispatched in full force, then the large fleet cannot defeat them! And if we choose to give up, it will be a catastrophe for the auxiliary cruiser near the North Sea blockade!" Admiral Jericho decisively rejected.&1t;/p>

The entire high seas fleet! 2o Fearless and Fearless warships above. There may be 6 quasi-fair ships. And what about the British Fleet? Now there are 8 Fearless equipped with 13.5-inch naval guns. (Two are under maintenance), 4 Revenge-class battleships, 10 Fearless ships, and 3 Battlecruisers. Jericho is sure that if the auxiliary warships are not considered, his 25 battleships will definitely not be able to defeat 20 German Fearless ships and several quasi-fair ships.... There is no way, the number is not much different, but the quality is too great... If the Thomas fleet does not come, the large fleet may really hide when it encounters the German Fleet...&1t;/p>

Although Jericho estimated that there were two possibilities for the German fleet to be dispatched this time, one was to attack the North Sea blockade line. After all, the large fleet could not patrol with precious light cruisers all day long, and the endurance was insufficient and the number was not enough. If this blockade line could be severely damaged, then Germany could obtain overseas supplies. The other possible is to plan to have a battle with the large fleet... The possibility of this idea is really great, otherwise the German fleet would not need to bring a slow warship.&1t;/p>

In any case, Jericho believes that Thomas is the only choice! At least the British fleet after joining the group is definitely not afraid of the German fleet head-on! The German fleet after bringing a large number of slow battleships is indeed stronger, but unfortunately, the Germans also lost the maneuverability they are proud of unless the German fleet commander regards them as consumables.&1t;/p>

So this time Jericho decided to concentrate the main force of the Royal Navy as last time. The Thomas fleet was ready to go almost at the same time as it received the information, and the large fleet was also ready 40 minutes after receiving the information. So, within a month, the two largest fleets on the planet met again at sea!&1t;/p>

The German fleet attacked very early. At the first wave of tide in the early morning, the huge high seas fleet rushed out of Wilhelmshaven. However, the two sides met relatively late. After the huge German fleet crossed half of the North Sea almost across the eastern border of the North Sea, the British fleet found the German fleet under the guidance of airships and v15oo seaplanes. At this time, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and it was only 3 hours before the sunset!&1t;/p>

"Well, it's safe!" Jericho looked at the sunset. The two sides met a little late, which means that if there was no night battle, the confrontation between the two sides might be over. Jericho believes that the German fleet will not choose night battle, and the uncertainty of night battle is too great. Moreover, the lethality of destroyers and light cruisers will skyrocket at night! This is the weakness of the German fleet, so they shouldn't do this.&1t;/p>

"The British were afraid of being beaten this time. They were very cautious and kept a distance between us. The Thomas fleet did not use their navigation advantages, but stayed with the large fleet. They were more like a tortoise with the head and tail and limbs shrouded into the shell, staring at us carefully from a distance, just to restrict us from continuing north. We don't know how the British understood the purpose of this attack, but obviously, this situation is very beneficial to us!" Lieutenant General Schell, who had already understood the plan, wrote in his diary.&1t;/p>
