When Hippel packed up and prepared to go home, the prince had already brought his fleet back to Wilhelmshaven. When the water level rose at high tide, the entire fleet successfully entered the Bay of Yades, the most important anchorage of the High Seas Fleet in the North Sea! At this time, everyone's hearts finally fell, because, by now, they were completely safe, and the carefully planned Thunder-Serbruce Battle has successfully ended! The German fleet won this with indisputable results.

This battle was not like the later Jutland Battle, which caused the losses to the British. After all, even if the weakened British fast warship group could still suppress Hippel. The German fleet was still at an absolute disadvantage in terms of fast warships and main fleets. Moreover, the tactical victory not only did not increase the confidence of the officers and soldiers of the high seas fleet, but also made them feel the desperate gap in strength, but this time it was different!&1t;/p>

First, this time, the High Seas Fleet did not meet the Great Fleet... In other words, it has not yet witnessed the horror scenes of the 2O many dreadnoughts and the fearless unfolding, and has not been fired by more than 1oo turrets and 2oo multiple artillery fire. The battle line of more than ten kilometers long and a fleet of millions of tons, this kind of thing is a concept, but it is another concept to really fight. So even if the German high seas Fleet has a great development in this plane, the prince dare not meet the Great Fleet easily.&1t;/p>

The motivation for the morale of this battle to the High Seas Fleet was quite huge. Think about it, a behemoth who could only look up to it and looked very terrifying from a distance. Even the top Germans had no hope of defeating the large fleet, was easily won in this battle. Indeed, the prince's precise planning and the various preparations of the German High Seas Fleet were done very well, and the hardships were naturally a lot.&1t;/p>

However, when it comes to grassroots officers and soldiers, even captains, and most of the squadron commanders, they do not know the entire plan. Their perception is more superficial. They think that if they can win this time, they have huge advantages, so they will definitely win next time. The high seas fleet is afraid of the large fleet. This is of great significance to the future adopting a more radical and proactive strategic approach!&1t;/p>

Of course, the most important thing is that after the end of this battle, it formed a huge aberration to the British fleet. The British Express Fleet is already at an absolute disadvantage! What if the 4 queens come back? The 5 queens and the remaining 6 battlecruisers (1 Fearless and 5 Fearless Battle Cruises) can do not much. If the lions and tigers can still produce some output, then the invincible ones have no hope on the regular battle line in addition to sharing firepower.&1t;/p>

There are actually only 5 queens who can really fight! Is the German Navy afraid of 5 queens? If the lions and tigers were there, it is really difficult, but now, even if all the British express fleets entangle the main force of the German high seas fleet, the prince can guarantee that the British express fleet can be penetrated in one hour at most!&1t;/p>

Therefore, even if the queens come back from the Indian Ocean, the advantages of the German high seas fleet in the express fleet are still unshakable. If you have to ask when the British express fleet will have the chance to compete with the Germans again, then at least you have to wait for the British queen to reach 8, and then cut off some of the R-class battleships and convert them into express warships. After all, the German Bavaria is also serving one by one! It can be said that the prince has won a long-term aberration advantage!&1t;/p>

In addition to gaining some advantages in terms of military strength, Germany also made great breakthroughs in strategic layout. Before the outbreak of the battle, the British fleet could ensure that sufficient troops were deployed in the Shetland Islands and Forth Bay at the same time. The former was used to block the North Sea passage, and the latter was used to suppress the German high seas fleet. Now, with the loss of a large number of warships, the situation has changed. Forth Bay and the Shetland Islands must give up one, and Forth Bay cannot be given up now. Once the Shetland Islands have no main force of the large fleet, the so-called blockade of the tenth cruiser formation is just a joke, without the main fleet as a support. If the German fast warship goes there, it will make the British blockade line unable to be maintained!&1t;/p>

So, to a certain extent, the German fleet has broken the blockade in the North Sea. Before the British fleet returns to the Shetland Islands, Germany's maritime transportation lines will be smooth to a certain extent. After all, the British will not just throw a large number of auxiliary cruisers and thousands of people into the sea in order to stop some civilian ships. Not to mention, if a German battle cruiser attacks once, it will make a big profit if he can kill an auxiliary cruiser! After all, in addition to one ship, there are thousands of people! (Because in addition to the normal personnel, auxiliary cruisers also prepare more than a dozen or even dozens of boarding fleets...)&1t;/p>

From the current point of view, the only remaining tiger in the entire British fleet can catch up with the German battle patrol, but even if you catch up, it will not be able to beat it! It is not very meaningful to chase it. Is it rushing up just to make Germany beat it? Therefore, before the large fleet returned to the Shetland Islands, the safety factor of the German battle patrol was still very high, which is also one of the important reasons why the prince finally agreed to the Seedritz wandering near the North Sea blockade line.&1t;/p>

"Finally go home!" When the last battleship entered the bay, Schell finally breathed a sigh of relief. The fleet is now safe, and the port is full of busy people. The damaged warship needs to be repaired and then enter the Kiel Canal, then arrive at the German fleet's base camp, Kiel Port, and then enter the dock for maintenance. The officers and soldiers have been fighting for a whole day and need to relax.&1t;/p>

"Your Highness, your telegram." At this moment, an officer sent the latest instructions from the German Emperor.&1t;/p>

"Ruprecht, you did a very good job, and in return, I will give you the corresponding glory and power. Believe me, my friend, when you return to Port Kiel, you will enjoy the most glorious moment of your life." Looking at the telegram sent by the German Emperor, the prince smiled slightly. What he wanted was not something William II could think of or give? But he did want to know what kind of reward the German Emperor could give after the victory of this battle!&1t;/p>

"Is it the command of the Eastern Front? Or is it promised that the Navy cooperate with the action at the right time?" the prince guessed.&1t;/p>
