Overall, a shadow called confusion is looming over the heads of the Royal Navy. They are as masts and oars. They are numerous and powerful, but they cannot defeat their opponents. They cannot find the right path. They are just repeating failures again and again. Even Jericho believes that it is difficult for the large fleet to completely suppress their opponents before the Queen-class battleship reaches two digits!&1t;/p>

How to say it, to a certain extent, the state of the British fleet is somewhat similar to the state of the German high seas in history. Historically, the German surface ships could not find a way to realize their value. In this plane, the British were stronger than the Germans. At least they knew to ensure their near-shore safety and blockade German sea transportation as much as possible. However, when implementing the specific implementation, facing repeated battles, the British felt that they were unable to do so. Although each attack did not suffer a big loss, they would always lose some. Maybe it was a few light cruisers, or a battle cruiser. If they were not lucky, it might be a battleship. This feeling of being cut by a blunt knife made the British extremely uncomfortable.&1t;/p>

However, as a fleet commander, Jericho, who was in the Shetland Islands at this time, thought more and more than everyone else. He felt that the current battle situation was very subtle. The German Navy was like a shooting gun medicine recently and came out for a walk. The British Navy was like a city manager, and had to guard the high seas fleet that sneaked out, and if you accidentally lost something, it was annoying. As a person who commanded the world's largest fleet, it was indeed annoying to be lost in a battle cruiser in a daze, but what made him most uneasy was that he couldn't understand what the purpose of the Germans was!&1t;/p>

This problem was encountered as early as the last time the high seas fleet and the large fleet met for the first time. And until now, Jericho still doesn't know what the purpose of the German fleet running out all day long? Is it really just a piecemeal? Or is it to test the strength of the British navy? If it is the former, then there is no need to worry about it. What about the latter? Once the Germans show that the British fleet cannot effectively curb the German fleet, then their courage will inevitably become greater and greater! Well, if you are brave, you will also have great steps. If you say that there will be no major actions behind the German fleet, Jericho will not believe it!&1t;/p>

"Recalling some of the actions of the Bavarian heir when he was calculating Betty, I can clearly feel what the other party was preparing, but now, we are just as ignorant of the enemy's plan as Betty at that time. And when the situation is wrong, their butcher knife has fallen!" Lieutenant General Geram, who had experienced that war, said to Jericho with concern.&1t;/p>

"Yes, there are very similarities. If the German fleet wants to take action, they will never act blindly. They will carry out many purposeful and tentative actions before. When they have collected enough intelligence and completed the deception of our battle, they will stab a deadly dagger like the most sinister assassins." Lieutenant General Maden said.&1t;/p>

"So what do you think their purpose is?" Jericho asked casually.&1t;/p>

"I can only say that the state of our fleet is declining. It's not just the fuel problem, it's a problem that has troubled us for a long time. I mean the situation of the fleet. After every battle, we will have some warships that need to be put into the dock for repair. The Germans will also have ships injured, but their injuries are much less than ours. This time, the Warriors and War Warfare must be overhauled and may not be able to serve within 3 months. In addition, a Revenge-class battleship in the dock and the sinking Australian, we are already absent from 4 main battleships. If we touch them again, the strength comparison between the enemy and us may be approaching a dangerous area." Lieutenant General Geram said worriedly.&1t;/p>

"Hiss..." Jericho couldn't help but gasp. He didn't pay much attention to this problem before, but now after being raised by Lieutenant General Geram, Jericho finally realized the seriousness of the problem! The current strength advantage of the large fleet has been greatly weakened.&1t;/p>

And this is just the main battleship, and the consumption of auxiliary battleships is even more amazing. For example, light cruisers. It turns out that Betty's seven battlecruisers are equipped with 3 teams, a total of 12 light cruisers, and 2 light cruisers in the 4 torpedo boat teams are used as fleet leaders. There are a total of 14 light cruisers.&1t;/p>

And now? The fleet commanded by Thomas has 10 main battleships! There are only 2 conventional light cruisers, a total of 10 light cruisers. As the destroyer's leading ship, there are 2 light cruisers. There are only 12 light cruisers. Before, one main ship could be divided into 1 light cruiser. But now? A main ship can only be divided into 1.2 light cruisers... When you think of this, Jericho can feel a cold air rushing from the tailbone to the forehead... This tm is so terrible.&1t;/p>

The two sides are now engaged in one tug-of-war after another, but the result of the tug-of-war is that more and more warships in the British fleet are sent to the ship platform for maintenance. What about the Germans? Because the warships have good "physical constitution" and the British shells have problems, they are full of blood two days after returning home. Such a war of attrition is obviously a loss for Britain. And if the British fleet's strength really drops to a dangerous level, will the German fleet rush out for a reckless wave?&1t;/p>

This is completely possible! After all, the high seas fleet can only be considered elite, not all the main force! When Jericho was fine, Battling his finger and counting all the assets of the high seas fleet. There are now 9 Bavarian-class fast battleships, Hippel's 4 battlecruisers, 3 Hurglan-class battleships, but in addition to these, there are 4 dreadnoughts, namely the Nassau equipped with 10 12-inch main guns, 2 Posen-class battleships equipped with 12 12-inch guns, and a fast battleship Rhineland equipped with 12 12-inch guns! In this way, the main force of the high seas fleet will have 20 fearless and fearless!&1t;/p>

If the warships with quasi-fair combat effectiveness are pulled out, the German fleet can add 6 more ships. In this case, if the express fleet is not considered, then if Jericho is fighting with the large fleet in poor condition, he will be really unsure in his heart... Although 6 of the 26 main battleships are fearless, the Germans' fearlessness and fearlessness are too steely!&1t;/p>
