Just when the alarm sounded, yesterday's welcome ceremony had not dispersed, many citizens reveled all night, of course, the army did not participate in it, the officers and soldiers who participated in the ceremony, did not return to the camp to rest, but stood the last shift, do the last work, next, most of the ships in the Scheer fleet, will return to the dock, carry out the necessary maintenance, thousands of miles of sea, across the months, but also fought a few high-intensity wars, although it is said that it has not reached the limit, but for the sake of long-term consideration, The Scheer fleet must also enter the dockyard.

The shore was more comfortable, but he was familiar with the ship, and there was some finishing work at the end, Scheer did not leave, and most of the officers and men on the ship did not leave, Scheer began to review his report, and the battle report was handed in yesterday, he wrote a summary of Scheer's fleet, which had never faced the battleship head-on before, and knew that Scheer's fleet was strong, but he didn't know that it was so strong, and in terms of the performance of Scheer's fleet, it seemed a little too conservative.

In all sea trial projects, the duel between the capital ships is often replaced by an imaginary enemy, although every subject has been completed, and it also shows that in addition to strong combat effectiveness, but the imaginary and real battles are two different things, in the battle that has just ended, the premise of 9 against 9 is relatively fair, and even the Scheer fleet is still at a disadvantage, but with the excellent performance of the aiming system and the battleship itself, the fleet has achieved incredible results, sinking 5 of the opponent's 9 capital ships, even, If it weren't for the need to buy time for the return, they could even catch up with the opponent's capital ships one by one and sink them.

It's not impossible. Speed, protection. Under the premise of the overall superiority of artillery, the power of the Scheer fleet was greatly magnified. There are a lot of tactics derived from this, but there are dozens of them that Scheer thought of on the way back.

The tactics of the battleship are almost endless, and the improvement of any place needs to be explored slowly, and Scheer wrote down all the basic information of the fleet according to the procedure, and boldly described the future attack methods of the Scheer fleet. How to use it, some tactics are quite unceremonious, basically treating the previous battleships as auxiliary warships.

It is no wonder that this is the case, taking the Bavarian class, which has not yet been completed and delivered to Germany, although it is also a 15-inch gun, it is 47 times the caliber and 40 times the caliber, and the tungsten core armor-piercing bullet and the steel-core armor-piercing bullet. With a tonnage difference of 50%, the speed is also 3 knots faster, and under the premise of all-round strength, the rate of fire of the gun is still several times. This is equal to the projection power per unit of time, and the Fantasy class is at least 4 times more than the Bavarian class, in this case. Instead of using warships equally, it is better to increase the projection ability. Put the Scheer fleet in the back and the high seas fleet as an auxiliary. to be able to have the greatest effect.

After almost a busy night, after finishing all this, it was already dawn, and Scheer, who had not slept all night, washed his face and was about to hurry up for the final meeting of the officers. More than 2 years, for Scheer, for the officers of Scheer's fleet, it is a long time, perhaps in Southeast Asia, in the journey back, can be restrained by discipline, now, most of the officers and men want to do is to return, return to the family, enjoy this rare leisure time.

The last one checked the fleet, and was about to order the crew to be disbanded, they had a 15-day vacation, and he, the commander of the Scheer fleet, who had a great responsibility, also had a 3-day vacation, and what happened to it was after the holiday.

It's a pity that the holiday was broken by a sudden alarm, when the alarm sounded in the port, the officers and soldiers who were already preparing to leave, their faces darkened, this is the highest level of military order, according to the military order, all ships in the port have to set off, this has not been rested for more than two years, just got the holiday, it will be postponed, it is strange that the mood can be good, but they are well-trained, or according to the order to start preparations.

Beginning to make the final preparations before the departure, Scheer waited in the harbor of the military port, countless sailors woke up from their sleep, and rushed to their respective warships, some ships began to fire, and even some patrolling ships had already left the port to make advance preparations, and the harbor where the aftertaste of celebration had not completely passed, suddenly became calm and serious.

On the port wharf, a convoy in the distance was coming quickly, seeing the car's photo, Scheer knew in his heart, Tirpitz was coming, on the port wharf, Tirpitz who came in a hurry, looked at Scheer, and said a little embarrassed: "Scheer, your vacation looks like it is going to be postponed." ”

Scheer didn't care, this is a common thing, soldiers, to obey orders as their duty, war will never end the will of a few people for the transfer, decades of officer career, more than ten years ago he independently led the fleet, but also before Tirpitz arrived, pacified his officers and soldiers, let the soldiers return to a state of war.

Now that Tirpitz has arrived, of course ask him what is going on, and after knowing everything, he can be more calm. The ships of the Scheer fleet are all oil-fired units, and it takes very little time from stopping to starting, but some of the ships of the High Seas Fleet, to be exact, all the warships built before 1912, they are all coal-fired, or kerosene-mixed, and it takes at least a few hours to turn them on, so no matter how anxious they are, there is enough time

"The British are going to blockade the Baltic!" Tirpitz said with a solemn face.

"Isn't the blockade of the Baltic Sea already sealed?" Scheer didn't understand the repetition too much, after asking, he knew that he had said something stupid, the blockade can't land on the sea, didn't it be blocked before, it's been a few years, the high seas fleet is not in you, it is impossible to react now, so obviously, the other party is not using conventional methods, otherwise the alarm will not be raised.

"Yes, they used mines, and the British massively laid mines in the Baltic!" Tirpitz frowned and said, from the beginning of receiving the detailed battle report, he had this expression, he thought that after the return of the Scheer fleet, the Scheer fleet played a strong role than the even, which would make the German side breathe a sigh of relief, at least there was a possibility of victory, but the measure of mine blockade was like a stick on the head, and there was no time to breathe, and the action was as fast as possible

"This?" As a naval expert, Schell knows very well how difficult it is to blockade a strait with mines, or a strait in the Baltic Sea in the North Sea, where the sea conditions are extremely high, how large a place is required, and the number of mines is astronomical.

"Are they crazy?"

"They're not crazy, they see it very clearly, the key is to you!" Tirpitz sighed and said, the British are very clear, knowing the strength of the Scheer fleet, they will strike preemptively, if they can block the Baltic Sea Straits, then the power of the Scheer fleet will have no effect.

The situation was urgent, Tirpitz did not explain to Scheer in detail, and immediately began to arrange the dispatch of troops, one after another battleships turned on the boilers, thick black smoke filled the sky over the harbor, the huge anchor was slowly pulled up, and the whole harbor was bustling. Three hours later, the capital ships of the High Seas Fleet slowly moved, and in three hours, the power system finally allowed the power system to start slowly, and when the thick black smoke filled the entire harbor, 18 capital ships rushed out, and the High Seas Fleet set off again.

Almost 30 minutes after the departure of the High Seas Fleet, the Scheer fleet rushed out of the harbor, although Scheer made several departures to Tirpitz, and their fuel crews, which reacted quickly, could be the vanguard to set off first and go to the Baltic Straits, waiting for an opportunity to act.

This should be a good method, at least to fully exploit the power of the Scheer fleet, which can arrive there at least about four hours before the high seas fleet and attack the British navy by guerrilla methods.

But no matter what he said, Tirpitz rejected him, and the return from the Scheer fleet, especially after the Scheer fleet showed a strong and incomparable attack after the return, Tirpitz did not allow the Scheer fleet to act without authorization, especially now, the British capital ships are all out, escorting the minesweepers to lay mines, 4 hours, maybe Scheer will play a huge role, but it is more likely to be besieged by the British fleet.

From the moment the Scheer fleet showed its real strength, Britain would definitely attach importance to it, which can be seen from the fact that they used the most stupid method to blockade the Baltic Sea Straits, they were afraid of the Scheer fleet, and if the Scheer fleet went alone, as long as it was discovered by the other side, the British would definitely attack the Scheer fleet at all costs, even if it was the same, or even double the price.

Once there is a problem with the Scheer fleet, or even large-scale damage, Britain can no longer blockade the strait, even if there are 20 less capital ships, the Allies can have an advantage over Germany, and at that time, although it will not be the same as it was a few months ago, but the German navy is passive.

Tirpitz would not let the Scheer fleet fight until it was absolutely necessary, even if there was a possibility of victory, he did not dare to risk it, and he could not take it.

The huge fleet, under the guidance of the fast fleet, entered the Baltic Sea, and then went quickly in the direction of the strait, about five or six hours, it will arrive at the mouth of the strait, and the monitoring of the submarine force, which was not discovered by the British, was busy arranging the mine defense line, noise and confusion, it will definitely affect the listeners, they are all trained and strengthened after the people, and the requirements for the environment are higher, as long as Germany is not actively exposed, then it is impossible to find out.

Through telegrams, the position of the British, the position of the capital ships, and even the sea area where mines were laid were transmitted to the High Seas Fleet in the radio waves, and Tirpitz, who concentrated all the naval staffs, was also making battle plans. (To be continued.) )
