Chapter 809： Full attack (1/2)
”Okay, let's start to roughly deduct the whole process now. I am now the commander of the High Seas Fleet. All you are doing are the British Navy. The current situation is that there are 3 Queen-class battleships going to the Indian Ocean to deal with the Suxiong Fleet, then I'm starting to act now.” The prince finished speaking and walked to the huge chart hung on the wall. The positions and numbers of the main fleets of both sides are marked above.
”In fact, from now on, the high seas fleet can often appear in the British offshore waters. Of course, the premise is to avoid the periodic suppression of cruises by the large fleet. Isn't it difficult?” the prince asked.
”This is not difficult, the large fleet is too big to be hidden.” Tirpitz said.
”Well, after a repressive cruise of the Great Fleet, the main force of the High Seas Fleet remaining in the North Sea, 5 Bavarian-class battleships and 3 Helgeland-class fast battleships headed to the British coast for land bombardment and mine-laying operations. What will the British do after receiving this news?” the prince asked.
”Betty's two battlecruiser formations will definitely come.” Admiral Ball said.
”It doesn't matter, we are not afraid of them, are we? Even if all the British battlecruisers come over, it is not enough for us to fight, I think you have no doubts.” The prince said with a smile.
”But the big fleet will act.” Tirpitz said.
”What about the action? They are at the northernmost part of the UK. Even if they receive information and set sail immediately, how long will it take for them to feel the southern part of the UK? It will take a long time for them to come here. If they are not prepared in advance, then wait until they come. At the time, the day lilies were cold.”
”So good, even if you take a step back, part of the large fleet will be separated and deployed in the area between Betty and Jericho. The scale will not be very large, maybe 4 to 6 dreadnoughts. But it doesn't matter. , 12 or so British battleships are fighting against our 8 most elite battleships. Even if we can’t fight, it’s okay to run away, right? Fast battleships after the Helgeland class have a speed of 25 knots or more! The British Dreadnoughts simply can’t catch up. , Even the early battlecruisers like Invincible can't catch up!”
”So, your opinion is that no matter how the British choose, in the absence of the Queen-class fast battleship, it will not be too dangerous whether the large fleet will attack, is it?” The Kaiser felt that he had caught something very Important news....
”Yes, that's what it means. As long as we leave the three queens, then the British will have very poor ability to restrict our operations in the southern North Sea.” The prince nodded.
”The current situation is obvious. When it is strategically beneficial to the German High Seas Fleet, simple tricks and tricks can be used to deal with the British. If the large fleet does not go south, then the southern British waters will become the back garden of the High Seas Fleet. The Betty fleet has no effect. If it goes south, then the Hipper fleet can go north to clear the blockade. The fast fleet with a maximum average speed of 27 knots! The possibility that the British fleet wants to catch is too small. ”
