The Scheer fleet, with the fastest speed, cleared a patrolling fleet, the speed is so fast, part-time is shocking, among them, the speed of the battleship is definitely an important factor, but the accuracy of the artillery is also a very important aspect, if you change to the previous command, you can still send such a fleet, completely into the depths of the sea, but the time taken may be 10 times, or even 20 times the current time.

After all, even if it is a male lion, if it encounters a running antelope, it is impossible to kill all the antelopes, in most cases, just chase the last few and scatter and run away, which is always the best weapon for the weak against the strong, you don't have to run past the strong, as long as you run past others.

In war, it is not possible to generalize, but it is also the same, when 30 ships are running in different directions, the longer it takes, the longer the pursuers will travel, which is complementary. A few hours to clear the threat, perhaps acceptable before, when the chain of command was used, at this crucial time, when every second counts, is found to be precious, and even in some cases, Schell believes, this time may decide the fate of the fleet.

On the surface, the Scheer fleet is also nine capital ships, but the strength on the surface is the strength on the surface, but in fact, when the nine warships are combined into a whole, or even unified command to aim at one or several targets, the saturation attack is the real place to show his strength. In the future, when this fleet enters positional warfare, it will be able to hide in a suitable place. When the time comes, the dispersal of the fleet will certainly not be the first target of the other side. Compared to the rigidity of the battle line, the skirmish line is more flexible.

As long as the enemy does not understand the power of the sighting system. It is impossible to aim at them, to put it bluntly, Scheer can even use other warships as shields, and in the case of attracting the main firepower of the opponent, he will continue to pour artillery fire, giving full play to the ability of 15-inch guns and the rate of fire of battleships, which will surprise the entire Entente at that time. Although the army and navy are two fields, the battle line is really similar to lining up to shoot. Limit speed, limit dodge, destroy the opponent with the most dense firepower, kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800, the emergence of the command system will be as great as the infantry skirmish line replacing the line of shooting.

At this moment, when every second counted, Scheer only sighed a little, and ordered the fleet to go north at once. The closer you get to Europe, the more dangerous it becomes, and the more dangerous it becomes. From the vicinity of the Gulf of Guinea, there are so many ships that I want to come to Europe even more. It is essential to choose a path that is cautious enough.

Both German intelligence and China's intelligence services investigated the situation in the North Sea and the English Channel. The ships there are dense, and there are not even cracks in the roots. If Scheer's fleet passed through the English Channel, it would be no less than a self-defeating snare, so, relying on the little time gained by a forced breakthrough, Scheer quickly crossed the encirclement.

Next, luck seemed to have struck again, and in the next almost 70 nautical miles, there was no patrol again, and there was a lot of experience in this, and with great luck, you know, in this area of the Gulf of Guinea, the density of the Entente search team is still not small, and it takes a little luck to be able to defeat a patrol and pass over.

Scheer triumphantly passed through this line of death, and after crossing the Gulf of Guinea, he quickly went north, according to the intelligence point, did not take the English Channel, but went directly to the north, ready to pass from the west of England, and then turn from the North Sea, this is a long way, and even a detour, what the result is, it needs to work hard to fight, and even Scheer himself has not thought about it.

Scheer's fleet advanced rapidly in the bluer waters, and the position and the brief battle report of the previous battle were sent to the German Admiralty by radio, and after a moment's hesitation, he still sent the same battle report to the Northwest according to the previous agreement, which was agreed before, and the Northwest could provide necessary and secret supplies for his 10,000-mile voyage, but the whole process, the logbook, and the battle report, had to be transcribed to the Northwest.

Schell was very strange at the time, if it wasn't for the cooperation with China, which had always been very pleasant, he was a little suspicious that China was going to sell his intelligence, but after thinking about it, this possibility did not exist, not to mention that the cooperation between China and Germany has always been relatively close, China and the Entente are not in a state of harmony now, Japan and Russia, the two countries of the Entente, are fighting against China, they have no position to help the Entente, once Germany is defeated, the next target will definitely be them.

The war report was sent out, with radio waves as the carrier, and soon crossed half the world and was sent to Baotou in the northwest, the German Admiralty of course got it earlier, and saw that Scheer broke through the Gulf of Guinea, a little relieved, and then nervous, and then, he was worried again, and after this pass, it was only the first step, and then there were layers of checkpoints, especially the mouth of the Baltic Sea, which was the real tiger's mouth, and the navy leaders headed by Tirpitz argued a lot about this issue, For the time being, if Scheer was able to reach the mouth of the Baltic Sea, the High Seas Fleet would risk a battle with the Allies to cover his return.

The telegram sent to the Northwest was copied to several units after being kept on file by the Intelligence Bureau, including the Baotou Admiralty. The Admiralty Building in Baotou is located in the core urban area of Baotou, on the edge of the 2nd Ring Road, which belongs to the most core area of Baotou.

New China, Baotou became the capital, there are many various state institutions, and by the way, let the second ring road, go to the residents and functionalization, everywhere are soldiers standing guard of the secret institutions, and there is no business, except for some people with ulterior motives, idlers do not come to visit at all, unlike the capital of later generations, there is no heritage here, all are emerging cities, maybe in a few decades, it will become a scenic spot, now, there is only one government function.

The Admiralty building is the core of the entire Chinese Navy and represents the highest authority of the Admiralty, but in fact, it is only a core of research and staff, and the real operational core is on the coast, the East China Sea Fleet and the South China Sea Fleet, where is the actual combat fleet, although there are not many combat missions now, and their monthly training tasks are also quite heavy.

In a sense, the forms of war are almost the same, and a qualified staff team can analyze from many aspects, starting from the general laws of war, and carry out systematic analysis and summarization, especially before the war, or when analyzing a certain battle example, the role of the staff officer will be highlighted.

In the Admiralty building, there are at least more than 2,000 young officers, who are either soldiers who have gone through 1-2 years of maritime training and finally stood out, or former naval officers, who have come to recharge after leading the troops.

Of course, China's navy is still very young, starting from Sanhai, even from the first naval military academy, to now, it is only the first batch of third-year graduates, they have not yet graduated, but they have entered the stage of internship in advance.

Compared with the Northwest Military Academy, there is a huge difference, don't look at just two or three more years, the army and the navy are different, ten years can build a strong army, but a hundred years can establish the spirit of the navy, compared to the navy but the army is easier to scale, easier to system, a penniless soldier, after supplementing the necessary cultural knowledge, you can go to the military academy, when most of his shortcomings have been supplemented, he can also become a qualified member of the military academy, Even some undemanding troops, he can lead troops to war.

The navy is different, the navy is a high-tech branch of the military, in the navy, except for a few positions, you can not use scientific knowledge, most of the posts, must use a variety of knowledge, physics, mathematics, and even chemistry, of course, there are other disciplines, so the navy has always been very professional, 3 years, can train a qualified non-commissioned officer, but from the real officer, there is still a distance.

At present, the Northwest may have quietly surpassed Britain and Germany in terms of the number of ships built on a large scale and in terms of the actual number of ships, and even has a lot to do with the United States, and even because of the less time-consuming relationship between unit ships, it may overwhelm the United States in the future.

The Admiralty has a clear understanding here, but the position of the captain and excellent commander is quite lacking, and even in the future, when the ship-building capacity of the northwest reaches the limit, this gap will become bigger and bigger.

Britain and Germany, and even the United States, most of the captains have traditions, from civilian ships, and after a considerable period of training, this is gradually formed, but China lacks this tradition, the fear of the sea, especially in 1895, the defeat of the Sino-Japanese War, let China completely leave the deep sea, this fault, even now is still irreparable.

Therefore, the Admiralty General Staff Department has become another kind of school, which cannot be called a school, but should be a research institute, and after preliminary training, after understanding the basic knowledge of ships and the navy, it has entered the general staff.
