Chapter 855: This Is Your Fleet
"You can do that, but you can't say it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoIf I can inflict heavy damage on Betty's fleet, then even the loss of one battle cruiser is tolerable. "The prince is not worried about the three Invincible-class battle cruisers of the Grand Fleet. The original British War Rangers chased Mackenson? What do you think? The Cedritz of this plane can also run at a speed of more than 27 knots!
"Then you agreed?" Hipper's eyes lit up.
"I'll think about it again." The prince also needs to think again, the loss of a battle cruiser is actually not a big deal for the high seas fleet, but after all, it is worth more than 2 million pounds, and there are more than 1,000 people on it, so it can't be counted like this.
The fleet moved at night and hid in the depths of the sea during the day, and if Hipper's wave of attacks was successful, then the British 10th cruiser detachment would be greatly weakened, so the British auxiliary cruisers would reconcentrate on the blockade line and not cruise in the Norwegian Sea. So the probability of being spotted during the day is not high, not to mention camouflage. (Look at the British's merchant ships disguised as bold, and there is no need to doubt the counterfeiting techniques of the time!) )
The hunt at night is of a sneak attack, with the advantage of electronic jamming and sneak attack, the British camouflaged cruiser is unlikely to have the opportunity to send intelligence, and even if there is a problem, the Cedritz can rely on super high speed to go back, even if the lion and tiger are not sunk by the prince, I am afraid that the port of the big break will be repaired, at this time do you want to count on the lion and tiger to hunt Cedritz, who is stronger than the historical Mackensen? Isn't that hilarious?
If something unusual happens, Cedritz can run all the way back at a high speed of more than 25 knots, and the Grand Fleet can stop Cedritz during the day, this prince believes, if it is at night? Then hehe, there was such a thing in the Battle of Jutland in history, in the daytime engagement, the battleship Nassau and a light cruiser were left behind, and then even Scheer thought that the end of the Nassau was set on fire by the Grand Fleet, and then killed by torpedoes, but what Scheer didn't expect was that this guy actually went home before the main force of the High Seas Fleet, and when Scheer was still playing hide and seek with the British with the High Seas Fleet, they had already returned to their home .......
Come to think of it, Betty's new Warpatrol is probably disabled if nothing else. The old-fashioned battle patrols are not numerous and cannot catch up. More importantly, the British could not have imagined that the Germans would do this, and the Germans were well prepared, and history has proved that if the British were unprepared, they could have taken the English Channel if they were well prepared, and they could have ...... taken through the English Channel. (Please Baidu Thunder - Operation Thurbrus on your own.) So in the end, the prince decided to acquiesce to Hipper's plan.
"If I can inflict heavy damage on Betty's fleet, then I'll send you a telegram before you can execute your plan!" The prince finally said.
"Thank you very much for your support." Hipper was stunned for a moment, and then said with some gratitude. Although he is the commander of the detachment, he does not have the right to directly change the plan made in advance, and if you want to make the Cedritz legally reasonable, then only the prince himself can give this order, and Germany is an empire after all, even if something happens, Ruprecht resistance and Hippert resistance are not two concepts at all...... Falling on the former, at most the Kaiser said two words. If it's the latter, then it's not for sure. So, at least from Hipper's point of view, the prince still took the blame for himself and his colleagues.
"You're welcome, relative to me, you are taking your future, and Lieutenant Colonel Edelmann is risking your life, help me tell him that if he can complete his mission and come back safely, I will persuade the Kaiser to give him the praise he deserves, and it is not impossible to become a general." The prince said.
Now Edelman is a lieutenant colonel, and if he fights well, it doesn't seem to be a big problem to be promoted to brigadier general. Especially when the empire needs such a lone hero, the prince thought in his heart.
After finally solving Hipper's problem, the latter left confidently, and then, and then the prince looked at the sky outside, as if he hadn't eaten dinner today, and looked at his watch again, I'll go, it's half past eight, evening! Seeing Admiral Scheer waiting outside the door, the prince remembered again, it seemed that he was going to have dinner with the generals of Scheer's First Battleship Detachment?
"Eat whatever you want." Looking at the waiting Scheer, Ruprecht was also a little embarrassed. After all, it does seem that it is not good to let the commanders of the two detachments and the six captains wait for themselves.
"I didn't expect that in the distant port of Kiel, I could also eat canned sausages made in Bavaria." Dinner was not sumptuous. The prince's decision to have dinner with the fleet commander was also impromptu. The lack of preparation is also understandable. The so-called follow the local customs, and people can eat whatever they prepare. Of course, when Scheer visited the submarine force, he was faced with a steak that smelled of engine oil. Scheer also ate it all in one go, and then wrote a report after he returned, hoping to improve the treatment of the submarine force, and issue an extra set of regular uniforms every year.
"In fact, since last week, all kinds of canned food have been a regular visitor to the Navy fleet, except for the frequent submarine force personnel who can enjoy fresh meat and vegetables on the shore, the rest of the regular fleet personnel can only eat canned food in the port." Lieutenant General Scheer said.
"We ate pretty well, at least the amount of meat in these sausages was enough. And our junior officers and soldiers were eating a kind of canned food called some kind of meat-like food, and I tasted that kind of thing, which didn't seem to taste like meat except for salt, spices, and starches, and I really had a hard time understanding it, and this kind of thing was called canned meat. "Commander of the 2nd Battleship Squadron, von Scheer, who was sitting opposite Vice Admiral Scheer. Lieutenant General Reims said.
"If you have something to say, just say it!" The prince grimaced and put down the knife and fork in his hand.
"I think that before the fleet sets sail, our soldiers should at least have a fairly good breakfast. And now the rationing of the Navy is probably a little difficult, you are taking office. If we want the soldiers to embrace you and support you, you should at least make sure to satisfy their stomachs. Lieutenant General Scheer lowered his head and said carefully.
"The Admiralty can't change anything, our supplies are rationed according to the imperial government, but you are the king, and you have the power of 2 army groups and the ownership of more than 150,000 square kilometers of land, I think you will have some way, won't you?" Feng on the side. Lieutenant General Reims said.
"It's the first time I've seen someone who can knock on a bamboo pole and be so open-minded." The prince glanced at Scheer, who bowed his head and looked at Lieutenant General Reims, who also immediately studied the salad and lamb chops on his plate.
"Now that this fleet is under your command and your fleet, I think it is necessary to be a little more inclined in terms of supplies, especially in terms of diet. I've always believed that eating the right diet is the key to keeping morale up. Scheer continued.
