Chapter 1742： Schell and Hipper (1/2)

”The Kaiser representative is coming tomorrow. Ludendorff and Marshal Tirpitz are coming together. It seems that we must come up with a plan.” In the office of the commander of the High Seas Fleet, Admiral Scheer looked at himself. Admiral Hipper, the commander of the German fast fleet opposite, said.

”I still retain my original opinion. This period is not suitable for attacking. We have no advantage, and we are fighting on the opponent's home court. And most importantly, the situation within our fleet is not suitable for warfare! People in the navy office arbitrarily conduct personnel affairs. Transfer, their part-time job is the British accomplice!” Admiral Hipper said angrily.

The so-called war is the continuation of politics. This statement cannot be wrong. Although the contradiction between Prussia and Bavaria has been temporarily suppressed, the results after the last secret war still have a certain impact on all aspects of Germany, especially for the navy. So. Under the instruction of the Kaiser, the upper German navy began to consciously clean up some Bavarian personnel in the fleet. Of course, this cleanup is at most changing positions. However, this is what caused the instability of the high seas fleet itself and the decline in quality!

War is a science, and the attitude toward science must be honest. He will not change because of the so-called ”revolutionary needs” or ”soul of Yamato”. If it deviates from this line, the army should always kneel. Kneeling. As the ”Bavarian” concentrated area in the high seas fleet-the German fast fleet, this situation is particularly serious. After replacing a group of low and medium officers, the combat effectiveness is even more reduced. If it were not for the high power of Hipper, With deep roots in the army, Scheer tried his best to protect him. I am afraid that the admiral from Bavaria will leave the fleet to sit in his office.

Of course, there are exceptions to everything. The aviation units in the German High Seas Fleet’s aircraft carrier fleet have not received any impact. The reason is simple. These units are ”seconded” to the High Seas Fleet by the Kingdom of Bavaria. The internal personnel relations belong to Bavaria, not Prussia. , Prussia has no right to intervene in personnel affairs.

”Major General Rodhart and the air team under his command refused to participate in the battle.” After a while, Hipper said.

”Why? Because of the terrible relationship between the two countries now?” Scheer performed in disbelief.

”If you want reasons, Major General Rodhart can make countless articles, but in the final analysis, there are two points. The first point is that Major General Rodhart's air force belongs to the Bavarian Air Force and the High Seas Fleet does not have the right to direct command. It was possible to command before because His Royal Highness served as Marshal of the Navy. The other is that the major general thinks it is not appropriate to attack now, neither in terms of equipment nor tactics.” Hipper said.

At this time, don't mention the ”military power” of the Prussian General Staff. This thing is only available in theory. When it comes to reality, it needs to be analyzed in detail. If the Kaiser really dared to push the command system of the entire aviation team, let's not say whether there was any radical reaction from Bavaria. Anyway, this aviation team is completely abolished...

”I'm afraid your Majesty may not be willing to listen to our explanation this time.” Scheer said worriedly.

”It doesn't matter, if William II wants the title of Commander of the Fleet, then just give it back to him.” Hipper was very calm.
