In fact, compared with the main fleet fighting, the battle between the main fleet requires a relatively complete plan. Because of the special nature of naval warfare, the main fleet at sea will not be very long. The Battle of Jutland has only been fought for 3 days. When it comes to the second battle, the real main fleet pk time of several naval and air battles between the two sides is not long. For example, the main part is only one day for the battle between Midway and Coral Sea. After a short battle, everyone retreats back to their hometown to get wounds and prepares to fight again. The maritime battle may last longer, but the main fleet pk is very short. Don’t talk about the night battles of various cruisers and battleships in the Guadalam Naval Battle, because this scale is not very large compared to the size of the US and Japanese navies.

At the same time, even if the battle preparation time is included, it will not be long. Taking the Battle of Jutland as an example, Admiral Schell was commanded by the German High Seas Fleet on January 18, 1916. It was not until early February that Schell mentioned that he should take a more proactive attack in the "Outline of the North Sea Marine Operations" filed by the German Fleet Command. However, at this time, the plan for the Battle of Jutland was not out of the cage, because it was not until February 23 that William II personally visited the Fleet of the High Seas and officially announced that he would entrust the discretion of the fleet to General Schell... Although Schell took his own fleet twice in the North Sea, these things had nothing directly to do with Jutland.

The real development of Jutland will start from mid-May, and the real Battle of Jutland will begin on May 31, which will only take more than ten days in between. Therefore, it is not very meaningful to formulate a plan for the battle between the large sea fleets. Just formulate a general strategy. After the war begins, how to fight, how to investigate, and how to layout depends on the actual situation.

However, the battle between the destruction, or submarine warfare, is different. Because this is a long-term process. Once the war starts, submarines will fight on the ocean every moment, shuttle back and forth in the North Sea, and repair and maintain in their own bases. This is a systematic project. As early as before World War 1, Germany realized that submarines would be divided into three groups and then rotated continuously. If we learn from some experience in the second battle, Germany will also establish long-wave radio stations to ensure the contact with submarines, build large supply submarines or camouflage supply ships to provide oil and ammunition for submarines in ocean combat, and even crew members...

Compared with the construction and training of the main fleet, the German Navy has already had a complete set of relatively complete measures. It can be changed slightly and then proceed step by step. However, this is the first time for Germany for submarine warfare and breaking warfare and ocean camouflage supply, and this thing takes a lot of time and effort. When Ruprecht and the three giants of the Navy met the German Emperor again, the problem was breaking warfare and cruise control!

"Overall, because of the tragic geographical environment, it is very difficult for us to obtain external supplies. The British blockade costs very little, and the price of breaking through the blockade will be relatively high. However, because of the emergence of a special weapon, the British maritime transportation will face serious challenges. If we can use this weapon well, we will definitely achieve considerable results, and it is possible to even tie the British!" He said this when the **** faced the German emperor.

"Are you talking about submarines? This thing is very novel, but what is the specific effect? ​​Admiral Boer, I heard that you rented a Bavarian submarine and conducted a series of experiments to tell us about the results of your research." The German Emperor looked at the latter and said.

"From the current technology, this submarine is difficult to defend against, because we cannot detect the exact location of the submarine underwater. We are equipped with a device called hydrophone, but it is not very useful. Moreover, the deep-water bombs we designed to attack submarines are somewhat unstable in terms of quality, and the depth and time of detonation cannot be controlled in preparation. If we are purely survivability, the submarine is very successful."

"However, it is difficult for submarines to capture targets, especially underwater, because their speed is very slow, and the underwater speed is generally only about 5 knots. Not to mention attacking warships, it is difficult to catch merchant ships. Therefore, if used for combat in the main fleet, unless a large number of submarines form a continuous cordon or set up ambush in the predetermined sea area, it is difficult to pose a threat to the main ship."

"Of course, if you want to attack merchant ships, the situation will be much better, because merchant ships are not armed, and submarines can even float and attack with deck cannons. This seems to be much more efficient than torpedoes. We used to simulate the situation of attacking merchant ships with submarines in the offshore. The best captain intercepted fifteen various transport ships within a week. The results obtained are very huge compared to the price we may pay. It is necessary to use them as an important auxiliary force." General Boer said.

"But if there are destroyers escorting or mines, the submarine's function will be much smaller. Underwater submarines have many restrictions on attacking targets, and the water will be attacked by destroyers. As for the minefield, the submarine can hardly crack it, right?" The German Emperor thought for a while and said.

"We have thought about this issue. It is not difficult for submarines to pass through minefields, because they can follow the opponent's merchant ships or warships... It is impossible to attack opponents in minefields. As for using destroyers to escort ships, it is indeed possible, but this is a huge restraint on the resources of the navy. Thousands of ships of various ships in the British Empire sailed above the ocean, and they did not have so many destroyers to escort them." Admiral Boer said.

"In fact, the most restrictive submarine combat capability is the tonnage. A 500-ton submarine is too small. If we want to break through the ocean or the west coast of the UK, our submarine tonnage should be more than 700 tons. It also requires a certain amount. We also need to establish a systematic logistics support method. By the way, there is also communication and communication. It is difficult for submarines to communicate with each other on the ocean. If we use long-wave radio stations, our coverage is relatively small, covering at most the waters around the UK. There is nothing we can do in the Atlantic Ocean." Admiral Boer thought for a while and said.

"Well, Ruprecht****, tell me, if we want to get the British to starve, how many submarines do we need? What kind of submarines are needed?" the German Emperor thought for a while and said.

"I hope that before the war, our submarines could reach at least 100! Among them, there are at least 60 ocean-going submarines with a displacement of more than 700 tons. These submarines will become the key to our strangling of the British maritime transportation line. The remaining 40 submarines are responsible for the Baltic Sea operations and cooperate with the high seas fleet. As the assassins of the fleet, the eyes and ears of the ears and ears," said ****.
