850 The Road to War 2

"So good, since the queens have been removed from the combat sequence, the enemies we are about to face are limited, we have the advantage on the scene, and the rest is to convert the advantage into actual results. So now, I hope General Hippel can first introduce the situation of the Betty fleet and the situation of the British Royal Navy on the East Coast of Britain."

"Overall, our first two cruises were very smooth. Whether it was bombarding the port or mine-burning, we received almost no interference, and we solved a light cruiser. But from the third time, the British began to take precautions. The third time we met and saw each other from a distance. The fourth time they almost caught up with us. As for the most recent time, the British super fearless battle cruiser successfully bit my tail, but unfortunately they were beaten back." Hippel said here, which caused laughter from the participants.

"So from the current situation, the British seem to be able to grasp the context of our actions. The easiest thing to see is probably the refueling ship that arrives regularly before departure, and then the other party may have an inside line at Keel Naval Port. Of course, there is another possibility that submarine reconnaissance is impossible. Our combat patrols are often dispatched, and the Harric fleet dare not approach us anymore." After Hippel said that, he looked at the prince.

"We deliberately kept the loopholes in the oil tanker. We always need to let the British know about when we will come out. Our goal of the battle is to attract the British to fight. If both sides can't meet, it will be a big loss for us. Therefore, we must let the British think that they can master our action plan and arrange an ambush with confidence. Let them be willing to fight us. Now it seems that the British have done this."

"However, we still need to prevent the British from obtaining our information from other channels. Therefore, the counterintelligence work around William Navy Port must be taken seriously. We can use new radio interference equipment and positioning equipment, and wired communications such as telephones. In short, I hope that when the fleet is operating, there will be no other radio waves above us except for the telegram from the Navy!"

"The problem of submarines is indeed quite troublesome. In addition to increasing the anti-submarine power of surface submarines and airships, I think the layout of the minefields can be slightly adjusted, especially near our departure route, and some defensive minefields need to be deployed." The prince said.

"This will cause trouble for the fleets out of the port," said Admiral Boer.

"Sheer, is there any problem with your fleet?" the prince turned to Sheer and said.

"As long as there is a detailed lightning chart, there is no problem. It may take some time." Schell replied seriously.

"Then let's deploy. We have only one chance, so it's not too much to be careful." The prince made the decision. "I'll say this about the anti-reconnaissance. Then I will provide you with a document, and you can do what you have as follows. As for the supply, I hope that General Scher's two battleship teams can complete all maintenance and supply operations within a week, and our actions have entered the countdown."

"No problem, three warships are in good condition. The remaining three can enter the dock tomorrow and then undergo thorough maintenance and maintenance." Admiral Boer said. In order to paralyze the British, while the Hippel fleet frequently appeared near the British coast, the main force of the German high seas fleet frequently took action in the Baltic Sea!

Regular fleet operations can improve the morale of officers and soldiers, while no dangerous fleet operations can greatly improve the morale of officers and soldiers... And this is the case with the operation in the Baltic Sea. Admiral Essen is indeed a great man. But unfortunately, the Russian navy is not powerful, the equipment is not powerful, the logistics is not strong, and the people are not very powerful... From the current form, the High Seas Fleet has already brought the attacking minefield headquarters to the gate of the Bay of Riga. Now the main force of the Russian fleet can only stay in the Gulf of Finland...

As the main force in the next operation, the Sher fleet naturally had to clean up the warships before the operation. The prince did not want the fleet to sail, and then a certain warship suddenly dropped a propeller or something... (This is a real thing, Moltke fell --!)

"What do General Hippel thinks about the combat effectiveness of the British Battlecruiser?" Tirpitz suddenly spoke at this time.

"To be honest, if the battlefield was not too close to Britain and the British reinforcements, my fleet would have no problem killing Betty." Hippel showed a somewhat cruel smile. "If General Suxiong's telegram could be delivered before my last voyage, I would definitely fight the British."

There is a reason why Hippel is so confident. He has a total of 5 battlecruisers, including the military equipment of the Moltch, Goben, and Seedlitz, which is the same as the Schánhorst. The Schánhorst can severely damage the Queen. Then Moltch and others are naturally able to capture the lion and tiger that are far weaker than the Queen. Although Moltch's defense is worse than Schánhorst, Hippel's use of the British 13.5-inch guns and 12-inch guns will be blocked. As for the von der Tinn and Blüchel, their opponents are the first battle patrol of the British, so there is no pressure at all.

Su Xiong's telegram made Hippel full of confidence, and at the same time made him feel very regretful. If he ran slower last time and there was no warship in the distance in the British, and if he and Betty had a pk, the scene would be absolutely good! But unfortunately, the opportunity is gone now, not only because he is not the one who goes to the British coast in the next stage, but more importantly, as long as the British should also receive the battle report, as long as they are not stupid, they will definitely re-evaluate the combat power of the German warships!

"It seems that the combat effectiveness of the Hippel fleet is enough to deal with Betty." The subtext in Tirpitz's words is that since the battle cruiser formation is already very powerful, then don't mobilize the main fleet again. What if so many warships go out and have something to do...

"If we just teach the British a lesson, we don't have to prepare for so long. The key to war is annihilation! Thomas can risk dispersing the fleet to use the fleet in order to completely annihilate it. If we just let the Hippel fleet beat Betty up, then, are your visions too bad?" The prince looked at Tirpitz next to him and looked at Schell who was reluctant to speak.
