2218 Dawn 4

Hood's battlecruiser team and ordinary dreadnought team were eliminated first, because it was almost useless to fight these weak chickens! Originally, the 12-inch naval gun could not cause too much damage to the German battleship, so it is obviously impossible to waste output for them! Well, the remaining targets are clearer, either 4 Revenge-class battleships, or the 10 British first-generation super fearless equipped with 343MM main guns!

Among these targets, Ruprecht prefers to choose the latter because the defense level of the Revenge-class battleship is higher than that of the Queen... It is difficult to sink the Revenge-class battleship whether it is shells or airborne torpedoes. What about the first generation of the British super fearless? It is the kind of guy who has a high attack and a crisp skin. Thinking about the famous "Bold Thunder Sink" incident in history, Ruprecht thinks that the first round of attacks against the first generation of the British super fearless is a good choice.

In order to ensure the explosiveness of the attack, the crown prince must leave enough power in his hands. At least 12 Bavarian-class battleships are indispensable! When considering the detailed firepower distribution, the four Revenge-class battleships must focus on guarding! Four battleships must be divided into 1V1 to keep an eye on Revenge. After all, the 15-inch gun of the Revenge-class battleship and the new armor-piercing shells are the strongest in the British fleet. If it is missed and the opponent shoots without interference, something might happen at any time!

Because it is just a focus instead of severely damaging the opponent, Ruprecht is preparing to use the four Helgolan-class battleships of the Fourth Battleship Squadron equipped with 350MM main guns to stare at the opponent. Then 10 Bavarian-class battleships stare at a British first-generation super fearless, striving to achieve results in the shortest time. The remaining two Bavarian-class battleships and the Fourth Battleship Detachment are responsible for fighting against other British battleships. Anyway, the British's 12-inch artillery has limited power, so it is still difficult for 2V1 to severely damage the German battleships.

However, the most difficult question to choose now is, what should Hippel do... If you want to evaluate the most tragic admiral in the entire war, Hippel is definitely on the list! Not to mention the general, there are only 4 battlecruisers now commanding. In the end, his four battlecruisers have to face the powerful Thomas fleet! Six queens and one super fearless battle patrol waved to Hippel on the opposite side. If something goes wrong, something really will happen! (Ruprecht did not expect that Jericho assigned the Hood fleet to Thomas.)

"Your Excellency the Crown Prince, if you are in terms of combat effectiveness, Admiral Hippel's fleet is even worse than the fourth battleship squadron. The latter at least has a standard battleship level and a little more artillery. The Admiral faces the sharpest long sword of the British." Admiral Schell said hesitantly.

"But I can't draw more troops to support him. We must ensure that the first strike will cause enough damage to the British." Ruprecht paused and continued: "The mission I gave Hippel is very simple. Stop Thomas and then minimize my own losses. When our carrier-based aircraft flew to the battlefield, I need Hippel to buy me half an hour!"

"This result is too cruel for us. After all, when we hit the British hard, the Hippel fleet will also be severely damaged. Simply exchange cannot give us an advantage unless we can play a super high exchange ratio." Admiral Schell said.

"No problem! Everything has been arranged. Maybe the Hippel fleet could not even return a warship at the end of the war, but in the first round of battles, his losses must be controllable! Last night, I thought about it for 3 hours! To determine the feasibility and necessity of this plan. Now, I have made a decision. Although others are bait, they will bear unimaginable sacrifices! But at least, it will bring us a greater chance of winning! I have handed over everything from the Warrior fleet to General Hippel, and Schell, your task is to cooperate with me and command the main force of the High Seas Fleet, so that everyone's sacrifices will be valuable!"

After Ruprecht finished speaking, he made a quiet gesture, and he understood the meaning very clearly. I have made up my mind to fight. You can do the rest as I said. This is a military order, and there is no room for bargaining!

"As you wish, Lord Marshal." When Scher called Ruprecht from the moment he changed from the crown prince to the marshal, it indicates that everything had entered a state of war. Now, there is no Ruprecht, who is the crown prince of Bavaria, only Marshal Ruprecht, who is the German naval marshal and commander of the German high seas fleet!

"His Marshal, Lieutenant General Rodhack, Commander of the Aircraft Carrier Squadron, sent a telegram. This is the details of the first wave of aircraft we can use." An officer sent a telegram to Ruprecht.

After sufficient preparation, Lieutenant General Rodhack's five aircraft carriers could release more than 230 aircraft in the first wave of attacks, but in the end, with Ruprecht leaving enough to complete the second wave of attacks as soon as possible, Major General Rodhack adjusted the size of the first wave of aircraft group.

The size of the aircraft fleet is still 210 aircraft, and the number of them has not decreased much, but the number of attack aircraft has been reduced and the number of fighters has increased. These aircraft are divided into two combat groups. The total combat group is the direct guard fighter unit of the High Seas Fleet, with about 70 various aircraft. It will fight against the British aviation power with the seaplanes and one-time fighter jets taken off by the High Seas Fleet. And among the other 140 aircraft, there are 50 fighters and 90 attack aircraft. Their mission is to cooperate with the naval guns of the High Seas Fleet to launch an attack on the first generation of super fearless people of the British Fleet's fleet!

In this way, the German Navy aircraft carrier team implemented a strategy of steady-scale development. Although there were quite a lot of 210 aircraft, the number of attack aircraft was obviously small. The remaining aircraft were ready but not in the first wave of the attack aircraft could be quickly pulled on the deck to locate and release after the group went out, thus shortening the time of the second attack. What? As for what to do with the fighter jets you asked about? According to the Crown Prince's estimate, the remaining crews of the British aircraft carrier team that had been released with blood were probably only fired? They did not have enough aircraft to release the second wave!

In this way, the attack process of the German aircraft carrier will be smoother, and the interval between the two attacks will also decrease. If nothing unexpected happens, the Spee fleet will arrive after two rounds of attacks, right? Ruprecht calculated in his mind.
