Someone may ask, what if the British fleet summoned the naval aviation force to cover it? The person who asked this question knew a little about the navy, but it was just a fur. The reason was very simple. The British fleet would never dare to use radio to contact us when evacuating at night. If the British dared, then all the problems encountered by the German fleet had been solved. Isn’t the biggest problem the location and time? You directly exposed your position by using the radio. Even if it was dark, I could take off first, and then roughly determine a region based on your location and speed. Then in the daytime, the British fleet would be dead.

As for whether the British fleet can solve the problem of air force supporting the navy through preset routes? This is also possible. For example, when the time comes, where my fleet will be, and then you send a plane to pick me up on time. It is not complicated to do it, but think about it, in the future, you will postpone the Didi taxi and takeout, let alone the current war? Such preset time points are the most likely to cause problems.

For example, for example, avant-garde destroyer suddenly said that it seemed that a submarine periscope was found in front of him. So what should you do as the commander of the fleet? It must be a detour! Even though you know that there may be a submarine ambush circle ahead, you still dare to go up? Are you uncomfortable? Or do you think your RP is strong enough to knock out a submarine with the bow like the fearless in history? Aren’t you touching pottery and porcelain? So, it will definitely take time to detour.

For example, when you are sailing, you encounter a small-scale interception by the enemy. In the dark, any surface warship must pay enough attention to the torpedo boat. At this time, you have to avoid the opponent's lightning strike, drive away the opponent, and change direction to prevent the opponent from following. Therefore, this is an unplanned thing, and it takes time! As for you, running slowly in front and running faster in the back? Please, since you are running away, you must evacuate almost at the extreme speed. The entire high speed is necessary. And one thing to note is that in this era, warships sailed by manpower to shovel coal, workers' physical strength must be considered, and in mechanical situations, it is also necessary to consider it. If you walk halfway and half of the personnel can't stand it, or if the warship fails once or twice.

For example, when the fleet pursuit war in the first World War I in history, when the Ultimate and Indomitable pursued Goben, the Ultimate steam pipeline cracked due to the long-term operation of the power system and four people died. So Goben finally evacuated at a speed of 24 knots, which was far less than the maximum trial speed. Coincidentally, the two British battlecruisers also faced problems with power systems and insufficient personnel, so the Germans still ran away. So these problems were normal for early dreadnoughts.

It is feasible to respond to the theory by setting a schedule, but is it actually true? It depends on the situation, and to be honest, if it is a morning voyage, morning mist is also an important factor affecting the aircraft's positioning fleet, and it is the case for both Britain and Germany!

And relatively speaking, the five aircraft carriers have sufficient attack firepower. Even if more than 400 aircraft are out, it will be nearly 200. It will be possible for the British to deal with four old-fashioned dreadnoughts. It is impossible for the British to be generous to concentrate a fighter jet of a wing to cover the four fearless retreats in front, right? So the threat of the British land-based aviation power is not great.

Then the only thing that needs to be taken seriously is the response of the British fleet.

"Your Highness, according to your estimate, the British will send a large fleet to support him. So with Jericho's cautious personality, their support fleet is likely to be dispatched. The main fleets of both sides are more likely to encounter it." Benson, who was on the side, thought for a while and said.

"That's right, you're half right. With Jericho's cautious personality, if he responds, he will indeed use the main force of the large fleet, because if he is dispersed, he will most likely be defeated by each one. But as for the possibility of encounters between the fleets on both sides? How to say it? As long as we are not cautious, the possibility of encounters is not high." Ruprecht said.

"Why?" Benson was a little confused.

"The reason is very simple, fuel problem! We don't know much about the British's fuel reserves, but according to internal information, their fuel quantity will never exceed 10 days. The British evacuation plan will last at least 20 days before most British troops can be withdrawn. Well, now the problem is that the large fleet needs to be carried out every day, and the fuel reserve limits the attendance of the large fleet. So as Jericho, there is only one option, that is, the position of the connecting position will be relatively north. After all, the large fleet is now deployed in Forth Bay. The distance from central Britain to the Dover Strait in the south is very far, and there is a lot of gap between the two places. If we use aircraft carriers to attack the British fleet, if it goes well, it will be no problem to kill 4 old battleships in half an hour." Ruprecht said.

In fact, even if the British fleet does not have fuel problems, they dare not get too close to the south. After all, the closer they go south, the closer they are to the German land-based bomber formation, and the closer they are to the God of Death! Therefore, as long as the German fleet is not too far north, the probability of encountering the British fleet is not high. Of course, so what if it happens? Even if the German fleet cannot defeat it, the British will definitely not be able to stop it if they want to leave! If the situation allows, it is also possible to consider a bite.

As for the power of carrier-based bombers? Although it has not been done in actual combat, it is still quite powerful through naval combat exercises. If you want to deal with the large fleet, it is still fine to fight a team. Therefore, if you only talk about tactics, using an aircraft carrier is a good choice, and the only problem is whether it is worth it. If the aircraft carrier is exposed too early, then the Germans will lose a crucial trump card in the decisive battle against the large fleet. At least it is unlikely to lose the opponent by relying on sneak attacks.

"If it were just to kill a squadron composed of old-fashioned dreadnoughts, it would be very worthwhile. Of course, if we were careful, the probability of the British not finding us was relatively high." Schell was a little confused at this time.

"In fact, if we consider the problem from a different perspective, the result may be different. For example, if the British Dreadnoughtsman team is completely wiped out, then the British fleet is very likely to refuse to send the main ship again. If there is no main ship, can we think that the British Expeditionary Force will never be able to go back?" Hippel said.
