Chapter 812 Unanimously approved!

"This, this, this is simply unimaginable!" Looking at the telegrams handed to him by the German Emperor, Tirpits suddenly felt sad. He really could not have imagined that he had been the Minister of State for more than 20 years. Until now, the most capable and capable general under his command actually supported Ruprecht to obtain command of the navy. This was like a teacher conscientiously cultivating his own students, but after the student finished his studies, he jumped directly to someone else's command...

Tirpitz understands Hippel's choice. After all, Hippel is a Bavarian. His ability to get to this point is inseparable from the prince's help. Moreover, the prince's suggestion does have reasonable support. It is not surprising that Hippel chooses Tirpitz like this.

Tirpitz can understand Su Xiong's choice. After all, Su Xiong is so glorious in the Indian Ocean and is ready to be promoted to Lieutenant General. The prince made great contributions to the plan designed for him. It is not an exaggeration to say that this plan made Su Xiong successful. Moreover, the prince also gave Su Xiong advice and tips, so Su Xiong supported it and supported it.

Then there are Earl Spey and Schell. From the perspective of the internal naval system, the two and Hippel are in a competitive relationship. Well, Earl Spey may be a little worse, because he has become the commander of the Mediterranean-Black Sea Fleet in the Allied Powers, and the possibility of becoming the commander of the High Sea Fleet in the local area is relatively small.

But what about Schell? He is someone he and the German Emperor valued. Now he asked him to command two battleship teams to lay the groundwork for him to take office. Schell not only agreed to let Ruprecht serve as commander, but it is said that he convinced Major General Becken who was somewhat questionable! What is the rhythm of this? Tirpitz said he really couldn't understand it.

"So what General Boer should do? Does he know about this?" Tirpitz wiped the cold sweat from his head and said. When he mentioned Poer, Tirpitz finally felt a little balanced. He was just the Minister of State for the Navy. The saddest one must be Boer. He asked himself that Boer was nothing wrong. As a result, all the generals under him supported outsiders to command the fleet, and there was no one like this...

"I have arranged someone to tell General Boer. I want to hear your opinion now." The German Emperor looked at Tirpitz and said.

"I... this matter is beyond my expectations. I always think you are just on a whim." Tirpitz really didn't know how to answer this question. From the bottom of his heart, he didn't want the prince to directly intervene in the command of the fleet, but now, facing the statements of the senior generals of the fleet and the powerful Ruprecht, he really didn't dare to express his objection, because in addition to the prince's need to take into account the Eastern Front, even Tirpitz thought that he was more suitable to dominate the overall situation of the navy.

After all, the Imperial Navy's achievements are now, whether it is the submarine battle or the Su Xiong fleet, they are carried out according to the prince's plan. This record cannot be fake. If it were replaced by other naval generals, they might be the commander of the High Seas Fleet now.

"Did you not even have the courage to say no?" said the German Emperor. "Do you know why when I encounter a problem, I like to discuss with Ruprecht instead of with you or with Little Moltke? Your limited ability is a reason, and it is more important that you don't even have the determination to express your meaning! You dare not say everything you think, and when you say every word, you will be worried about gains and losses. A real soldier does not like such a boss, so our generals chose Ruprecht. Little Moltke is better, and you are not suitable to participate in the formulation of wartime naval strategies."

"Since that's the case, then that's it. The Bavarian prince can mobilize the fleet when he thinks it's right. I will arrange for him a naval liaison team to act with him. When he has time and the environment is right, he is the commander of the High Seas Fleet!" said the German Emperor.

"Yes, your Majesty. But how does the prince arrange the time?" Tirpitz said with some shame.

"You don't have to worry about this. Boer and Hippel have already gone to discuss these things with Ruprecht. You just need to cooperate with him." The German Emperor waved his hand and said.

At the same time, Scher and Hippel also came to the prince's temporary station. At this time, they saw teams of soldiers entering and leaving were placing various items on the vehicles parked in the yard. It was obvious that the Bavarian crown prince was about to move.

"Hipel, where do you think our prince will go?" General Boer said with a bit of sourness.

"I don't think he will go to Port Kiel now at least." Hippel said expressionlessly.

"We want to plan a large-scale operation, but the person in charge is on the Eastern Front, Munich or something." General Boer said with a frown.

"This is the order of His Majesty the Emperor, and we can only obey it. In fact, when the prince suggested that General Su Xiong go to the Indian Ocean, he also proposed it in the palace in Munich." Hippel said softly or hard.

"Okay, okay, to be honest, I'm not used to discussing naval affairs next to a group of army officers." Admiral Boer couldn't say anything now. With the support of commanders of major fleets, authorization from the German Emperor, and the prince was also "experienced". His naval commander is actually equivalent to a mascot.

"General Boer, General Hippel, Your Highness is waiting for you in the conference room. Please come with me." The prince's chief of staff personally welcomed the arrival of the two.

"I think you should have seen your Majesty's appointment, which means that this plan can be started. You should come to me for this matter." The prince didn't talk nonsense when he saw the visitor. Today was his last day on the Western Front, and he would set foot on the train back to Munich tomorrow. He didn't want to waste time.

"That's right, Your Highness." General Boer said.

"So good, now I need you to do some preliminary work, collect necessary information, and interfere with the British's judgment." The prince said.

“Preliminary work?”

"That's right, it's the preliminary work. Let's give a very simple example. Who can determine whether the British Queen Elizabeth-class battleship has left the British mainland? This is a prerequisite for our plan. If Thomas doesn't leave, the whole plan cannot be implemented." The prince first asked the question.

"This is hard to answer. After all, the British guard the anchorage of the large fleet very strictly." General Boer's face changed slightly, and he was a little embarrassed, because as the commander of the navy, he really didn't know what the four most powerful warships in the British navy are now......
