What about Hiper's own side? The situation of Seedlitz and Goben is good, but the situation of the two Helgolan-class battleships is a bit bad. The two warships combined only have 8 artillery pieces to use... There is no way. When Thomas was restrained just now, it was a bit injured. Overall, it must be weak. If you join the main fleet, you can naturally let the main fleet help share the pressure. However, Hiper thought about it and thought that before locking the provincial bureau, you should not cause trouble for the main fleet. If you have pressure, you should bear it yourself. Anyway, under such a great disadvantage just now, Hiper came out with two battle cruisers. The situation is not worse than before, right? So, Hiper, who was just taking the blame for the main force of the entire high seas fleet, decided to continue to do this promising and more stressful profession...

"When the war ended, during the first marshal award ceremony after the war in the German Navy, General Hippel, together with General Scher and Earl Spee, many people expressed their discomfort. Admiral Scher was awarded the rank of Marshal because he was responsible for the executive work of the High Seas Fleet. When Prince Ruprecht was not around, he was the well-deserved commander of the High Seas Fleet. Earl Spee was awarded the rank of Marshal because he commanded the Allied Mediterranean Fleet in the most dangerous environment, which belonged to the person in charge of a strategic direction."

"As for Hippel's award, many people expressed their confusion, and even attributed his rank of marshal to political factors. After all, after the war, Bavaria became the most powerful kingdom in the German Empire, and this strength is not only reflected in military, economic and political aspects, but also in some so-called faces. As the representative of the Bavarian Legion in the navy, Hippel was awarded the rank of marshal, but is this indeed the case?"

"In several battles, the fleet commanded by Hiper is not large in size. It is just a battle cruiser detachment with similar forces as a lieutenant general. However, whether it is the battle of Dogers, Hiper's destruction of the North Sea blockade line or the subsequent battle in the Baltic Sea, they are remarkable. Hiper's biggest record is that he dragged his opponent tightly in the final Norwegian naval battle, winning the main force of the high seas fleet with his superior combat state. He restrained the opponent with his troops far weaker than the opponent.

The superior force, the spirit of sacrifice, and the determination and talent under great pressure fully proved the value of his title of marshal. If it weren't for Hippel, the High Seas Fleet would have to pay heavier losses, and a high seas Fleet with relatively well-preserved strength would have had a very important impact on the international situation after the war!" After the war, Marshal Tirpitz described Hippel's contribution to this war in his memoirs! Of course, this is a later story, so I won't mention it for now.

"The situation is a bit difficult." Hippel frowned. Although he seemed to have four fearless ships in his hand, in fact, only two battlecruisers could fire higher outputs, and two Helgolan-class battleships had only four main guns. The number of these main guns was too small, which was a bit difficult for corrective firing. Half of artillery does not mean that the firepower is reduced by half, and it may be a 70% drop, or even more! This time, the British's main gun number advantage was finally swung out, and four main guns were also knocked out. The first British Fearless had 6 artillery, which could barely be corrected with half-volleys, while the German fleet was in a bit of difficulty.

"We bite them from behind! Fight the weak ships first, then the strong ships!" After thinking for a full three minutes, Hippel finally issued a combat order. Now, the slowest mid-range Hippel fleet has a degree of more than 22 knots, and what about the British warships? Even without any injury, the old-fashioned dreadnoughts have a degree of only about 20 knots. Now, after a war, the difference in navigation is definitely greater. The biggest advantage of fast warships is that they can choose to fight or leave. This time, Hippel seized this!

With Seedlitz as the flagship, four German battleships drew a U-shaped track on the sea and quickly cut it toward the tail of the fleet commanded by Lieutenant General Duff. More than ten minutes later, with the whistling of shells rubbing against the air, water columns rose around the Magnificent and Reckless at the tail of the British fleet!

"Damn it! They actually bit our tail!" Looking at the two British dreadnoughts in the distance, Lieutenant General Duff really realized what it means to go in a dilemma! Before encountering Hippel, Lieutenant General Duff considered various possible situations, such as if the German fleet forced itself to block it, then the British fleet had no choice and just fight directly, either blocked by Hippel or defeated Hippel to rush over. For example, the Germans chose to join their own fleet first, so it would be easy to deal with it, and they could just catch up on it themselves. There is one thing in common between these two situations, that is, the British have only one choice.

But now, when the Germans were carrying out this kind of harassment-like tactic, Lieutenant General Duff was a little blind because he didn't know how to choose! Lieutenant General Duff could throw away the two dreadnoughts behind him and could turn his head to fight with the Germans, but no matter how he chose, his situation seemed to be bad!

Throwing away the two dreadnoughts and letting them block the German fleet, this seems to be OK, but how many rounds can these two dreadnoughts go under the German dreadnought's gun? In the case of 1v1, the Bavarian class killed the Iron Duke warships in just 15 minutes to achieve the first result! And now, it's 2-for-4! ​​The opponent is 4 dreadnoughts! Lieutenant General Duff is really worried that his intercepting fleet might be given away in vain!

What if we fight back? Lieutenant General Duff believes that the situation of the German fleet is definitely not good! After all, the German battlecruiser team and the Fourth Battleship Squadron were severely damaged by the Thomas fleet with absolute superior strength! Even if they escape by chance, they are probably seriously injured. Otherwise, Hippel could have a head-on fight. But even if they are a little worse, the German fleet has a very high combat effectiveness. Not to mention the result, time will definitely not be able to be delayed! And to fight Hippel fleet, you have to turn, and the German fleet can choose whether to fight!

Sometimes, when there is only one choice, it is the simplest, because there is only one way, just walk directly, but if there are multiple choices, it is the most troublesome situation! At this moment, Hippel has the advantage. In any case, he can hold back his opponent, if nothing unexpected happens!
