Xu Jie's plane has a very funny video called a bloody case caused by steamed buns. And this plane, because of the exit of the battleship Longxiang, a series of things were unexpected by Xu Jie, and what is even more terrifying is that because of this incident, there has been more than one bloody case. Some big battles were also brought forward. Take, for example, the hussar battle plan devised by Jericho and Thomas.

After the Longxiang was handed over to the Italians, Jericho, Betty, and Thomas, known as the Big Three by British Navy insiders, finally reached an agreement once again that with the commissioning of the Longxiang, the fast warships of the Allied Mediterranean-Indian Ocean Fleet would have an advantage, and they were very likely to break through the central axis of the Mediterranean Sea and launch an attack on the French coast, completely cutting off France's direct ties with the North African colonies. You must know that many of the French* teams and logistics in World War I were Africans, and because there was no influx of Chinese laborers into France on this plane, they were more dependent on African labor resources. If Mediterranean transport is cut off...... Then France, which has a relatively thin population, will inevitably have a shortage of labor, and for this reason, France said that this kind of thing must not happen! Ask the British to immediately go south to the Mediterranean!

If you want to go south to the Mediterranean, you must first confine the German navy in the harbor, although the Russians have contained a certain amount of strength of the opponent, but it is obvious that it is far from enough now, because the containment of the Russian fleet is not safe, because of the existence of the Kiel Canal, God knows if the Germans will quickly go to the North Sea through the Kiel Canal to make trouble for themselves after learning of the division of the British fleet? As far as the situation in the Mediterranean was concerned, the British had to divide at least two battleship detachments, about 8 capital ships, to support. This may not necessarily be able to get the opponent's ..........

Another uncertainty was that the British did not know what the progress of the German Bismarck-class battleships was, and if they waited until this class of battleships were commissioned, the British would really not have a chance to support the Mediterranean. So everything has to be acted on as soon as possible, as for the Russian fleet? The British knew very well that it was the Germans who had no intention of beating him, and if he really did it, Essen would not be able to stop the Germans from crushing him.

Although the pinnacle of the British Navy will not be reached until 5 Revengeance-class battleships enter service. But Thomas has some objections to this. Admittedly, when the 5 R-class battleships were commissioned, the British Grand Fleet reached its peak in overall strength, but its relative strength was definitely not at its peak. Because by that time, the Bismarck-class battleships of the Germans would probably have also been commissioned, and the two sides would be equal to offsetting. By that time, perhaps the Russian fleet would have been besieged to death. Therefore, for the fast fleet, now is the time when the relative gap between the two sides is the largest, 5 Queen Elizabeth-class battleships have been commissioned, plus 2 Amsterdam-class fast battleships. 1 battlecruiser Tiger and 2 dreadnought cruisers. The fast fleet of the British could already hit half of the high seas fleet. And there is surplus. At this time, the Queen-class battleships with the replacement of shells were definitely higher in combat effectiveness than the king. As long as the Germans had more than 6 warships in the Baltic. Then the remaining capital ships tied together are not necessarily the opponents of Thomas's fleet. So in this case, Thomas proposes to strike as soon as possible! …。

In order to inflict heavy damage on the German fleet, the British invested enough money this time. The inshore cruises, which had been cancelled after the Battle of Jutland, resumed again, and the auxiliary warships of both sides often exchanged fire in the waters near the Gulf of Helgrand, and the scale of the exchange of fire grew, first only destroyers, then light cruisers, then British armored cruisers, and with the arrival of armored cruisers, Hipper knew that the other side was pushing himself. Because there is nothing decent in Germany for patrolling. If you want to restrain your opponents, you must send your main ships. Since the two sides have played each other again, they have been like two gamblers in a casino, constantly increasing their stakes for victory, although the process may be longer. However, the dispatch of capital ships by both sides seems to have become an inevitable choice. …。

The British wanted to fight, the Germans also wanted to fight, and this time, the Germans understood very well that the existence of a fleet was meaningless, and only the ability to contain the British Royal Navy and ensure the superiority of the Allied fleet in the Mediterranean and the smooth flow of sea transportation would become the most important task of the German Navy. The British were growing, so the German navy needed to strike again in order to delay the arrival of the British at the peak. And this time, Hipper's hand was also good, 2 Moltke-class fast battleships, plus 4 Caesar and Lütsov and the Sedlitz. With 8 super dreadnoughts in your hands! And the slowest speed is more than 23 knots, plus the reconnaissance of airships, submarines and aircraft, Hippel fully believes that he can avoid the ......... of the opposing large fleet.

As for attacking the British fast fleet? Hipper also has a certain degree of confidence, the Queen Elizabeth-class battleships are certainly powerful, but it is still to be determined how many can be dispatched, and the Amsterdam-class fast battleships of the Dutch are still inferior to Lütsov. As for the Tiger and the Dreadnought Cruiser, it is even more not worth mentioning, if it is agreed that it is 8 to 8, Hipper will definitely not be afraid! Of course...... Hipper also thought of what to do if the other party took out 5 Queen Elizabeth-class battleships at once, and after struggling for a long time, Hippert could only admit that if the other party really came out with 5 tiger generals, Hipperer could really only talk about it.

At this time, the two sides were like two wolves fighting for territory, and the two sides kept sending their younger brothers out to test their opponents, but at the same time they were cautious about launching the final blow. The Germans naturally had a thin background and did not dare to rush forward, but the British did not press the coffin. Jericho told Thomas more than once that in the next two years, there would be no new fast ships added to the battle sequence of the Grand Fleet, and the lengthy construction of the main battleship made the British a little overwhelmed. So Thomas had to be careful!

Thomas repeatedly speculated on the possible loopholes in the whole engagement, although the British had an advantage, but it was not easy to really fight this battle, the British had a limited advantage, 40 15-inch naval guns, 12 14-inch naval guns plus 8 naval guns and 16 12-inch naval guns against the opponent's 64 naval guns. One of the things that is certain is: The 12-inch naval guns could not output anything in the face of the German super dreadnought. In the Battle of Jutland, all six German dreadnoughts could only rely on projection to crush one British battle cruiser. There is little to look forward to with these two dreadnoughts, at most they will cause some trouble.........

According to intelligence, the main German fleet was almost half and half deployed. Hipper was in charge of the North Sea, and Scheer was in charge of the Baltic. If all 5 of his Queen Elizabeth-class battleships came out, Hipper would definitely choose to retreat. After all, even if the shells are not good to use, the Queen-class fast battleships still showed strong combat effectiveness in the Battle of Jutland, and they did not go down the peak 1-on-1 with the King-class. The result of the encounter between the two sides must have turned into Hipper's turning and leaving. There is great hope of getting away under the protection of smoke grenades and auxiliary warships. However, if you only send a few queens, it is very likely that you will be beaten by the other party. It is difficult to grasp the degree of not only letting the other party dare to fight, but also to be able to take advantage of oneself!

Thomas was one of the finest British naval commanders. Subsequently, he put forward a rather bold idea, that is, to divide the fleet into two parts, one is 3 Queen Elizabeth-class battleships plus the Tiger plus two Dutch fast battleships and 2 dreadnought cruisers, they will be the first to fight the German fleet, from the distribution point of view of the two sides are almost half a pound, the three queens have an advantage over the German battleships, but the same British also have three weak ships, of which 2 dreadnoughts are broilers. Thomas didn't believe Hipper wouldn't be tempted ..........

In the face of a battle of similar strength, neither the British nor the Germans will retreat, they both have reasons for having to fight, Thomas does not dare to guarantee that there will be an accident in this situation that will lead to the defeat of the battle, but as a good Royal Admiral, Thomas will definitely not back down! In Thomas's script, there will be a regular engagement between the two fleets with no fancy to speak of, with heavy losses on both sides. And at this time, Thomas's other 2 Queen-class battleships will rush to the battlefield to harvest the already scarred German fleet! That's right, these two warships will not participate in the battle at first, they will watch the two sides fight to the death, and then join the battlefield at a critical moment and completely overwhelm the opponent! It's cold-blooded, but it's also effective! …。

Jericho fulfilled his promise by sending an aircraft carrier specifically for the Thomas fleet, a 12,000-ton converted ship with 15 aircraft on board and a speed of 23 knots to accompany the fleet, and he would accompany the Thomas fleet as a reconnaissance airship for its drive away from the Germans. This is bound to be a time-consuming battle, both sides will send their main fleet to cruise in the battled waters, but they will not attack easily, it is like two masters fighting, everyone always observes the opponent, and then looks for a suitable opportunity to ..........

To ensure the success of the program...... The British also asked the Russian fleet to sail to contain the German Baltic Fleet through diplomatic channels, in order to prevent the 10 German capital ships in the Baltic Sea from taking advantage of the situation to advance westward, and after careful consideration, Jericho also decided to lead the Grand Fleet to follow Thomas's fleet, after all, Britain had already suffered two heavy defeats in the battle in the North Sea, and the Germans could not afford to lose, and the British were a little unbearable. However, in order to prevent the German fleet from discovering the main British forces, they retreated. Jericho will wait 40 nautical miles behind Thomas, and he will only be responsible for answering and not attacking, after all, if Thomas can't keep his opponents, then Jericho's slow turtles can't do anything.

"The big war is about to begin." When Hipper received a telegram from Scheer and saw the headline that the Russian fleet was attacking and Scheer's fleet was powerless to look west, Hipper knew that the British were about to act. Although Essen won the game, he would definitely not stab Scheer in front of him, and the only possibility was that the British instigated the Russians to contain Scheer from behind. And the British took the opportunity to come to their own trouble.

"I hope you'll be able to do it this time!" Hipper sneered.
