Chapter 1161 Prometheus the Fire Thief
"In two large-scale fleet battles, the total number of British seaplanes, 6-based aircraft and airships was more than three digits, and the British also began to study aircraft aligning. If the weather was good, it was basically impossible to attack the British fleet in the North Sea or defeat them one by one."&1t;/p>
"We have tracked the return process of the British fleet, and overall their arrangements are very detailed. The large fleet will return to the Shetland Islands, and the express fleet will return to Forth Bay. Perhaps due to fuel issues, their return flights are not fast. They will avoid submarines often traveling in zigzag."&1t;/p>
"For most of the return journey, the fleet had no other force assist, but after approaching about 80 kilometers from the port, the British arranged seaplanes and auxiliary warships to prevent the attack of our submarines. Even at night. The British also carried out defensive mine laying near the Forth Bay. If we wanted to severely damage the British fleet by submarine ambushing, the possibility of success is very small, and it may even lose valuable submarines." Lieutenant General Schell reported to the Prince after integrating the information provided by the intelligence department.&1t;/p>
"Can we confirm the British fleet's voyage at night?" the prince thought for a while and asked again.&1t;/p>
"No problem, the British did not consider light control when sailing at night. Although the 14-kilometer flight was not fast, it was enough to make the submarines anxious. Moreover, they needed to constantly contact the port and did not conduct radio control. So relying on airships and radio side technology, we can determine the approximate location of the British fleet. They did not seem to realize our radio side technology, and they might not care." Lieutenant General Schell said after thinking about it.&1t;/p>
"So what is the strength of the British Express Fleet now?" asked Admiral Boer on the side.&1t;/p>
"We were sunk by the Australian battlecruiser. The other two Queen-class battleships were damaged and they would probably be on the ship for more than two months. If we fight with them again, as long as we get the last chance, we can temporarily let at least half of Thomas's battleship leave the British combat sequence!" Lieutenant General Hippel responded.&1t;/p>
"There will be no such opportunity again. If we repeat this tactic again, the most likely result is that Hood's third battlecruiser team and Thomas fleet will meet, and there will be no clamp offensive again. They will follow the big fleet and follow. If you don't see the position of the three battlecruisers of Hood's third battlecruiser team this time, it will make us feel uncomfortable?" Major General Schell said, shaking his head.&1t;/p>
"And to be honest, we will not make the situation change too much, as the Queens continue to serve 6, the role of these warships is getting smaller and smaller." The prince said. "So, if we want to change the situation further, we must target the British queens! And this will become our core goal in the next stage!"&1t;/p>
"Your Highness, what do you mean?!" All the German Navy senior executives present were shocked and puzzled. They thought that such actions were already high-end enough, and gradually weakened their opponents through continuous contact and consumption in a short period of time. Now it seems that everything this prince did before was just a prelude!&1t;/p>
"Maybe from the results and tonnage, our operation may not be able to reproduce the glory of Thunder-Surbruce. But I can guarantee that after this battle, the British Express fleet will take at least half a year to recover! Jericho's large fleet can only return to Forth Bay and be a watchdog! Then watch our fleet transport supplies to the local area continuously through the North Sea!"&1t;/p>
That's right, the prince still pointed his finger at the British Express Fleet this time. Based on the principle that he would never fight the main force of the large fleet if he didn't destroy this fleet. Only after he could half-dead the British maritime strategic mobile force, the prince's actions could be successful. And the German maritime traffic line can remain unobstructed!&1t;/p>
"But during the day, our every move is under the surveillance of the British, so we cannot have the opportunity to face the British express fleet alone. Moreover, the other party's flight is not much slower than ours. If they want to leave, it will be difficult for us to intercept!"&1t;/p>
Lieutenant General Schell felt that the prince's plan was a bit incredible. Now, under normal visibility, it is difficult for both sides to calculate the opponent. If the weather is bad, both sides may be calculated or targeted by the other side. For the German Navy, which has less capital, this risk is undoubtedly greater.&1t;/p>
"So, our action time and action plan need to be adjusted. Thankfully, the last time our battle was pretty good. There were 2 of the seven Queen-class battleships that temporarily left the battle sequence. This was a very good opportunity, which made our prey just the right size! It was very suitable for a bite!" The prince did not directly explain his plan. Instead, he continued to describe the prospects of the battle.&1t;/p>
"Are you planning to refer to the night sneak attack of Count Spee in the Mediterranean?" Hippel seemed to feel something, so he asked.&1t;/p>
"Night attack is not a good choice. Attacking a fleet with higher flights in the wind and waves of the North Sea is a difficult task. We still cannot effectively attack our opponents when the opponent wants to leave during the day. Then it is naturally even more impossible at night." The prince shook his head and said.&1t;/p>
"So what should we do?" asked Admiral Von Boer.&1t;/p>
"Do what we want you to do, and when the time comes, you will know everything!" said the prince with confidence. In order to wish our success, I suggest that this action be named the Fire Thieves - Prometheus!&1t;/p>
"So when will we start to act?" Lieutenant General Schell asked after thinking.&1t;/p>
"I don't know the specific time of action. To be precise, we need to wait for an opportunity to make a correct judgment on the situation on the battlefield. But I can clearly tell you the time to prepare. Before January 15 next year, we must make all preparations, not only the preparations of the warships belonging to the high seas fleet, but also the preparations of the Kingdom of Bavaria. If my plan is realized, the evil dragons flying in the air may not be unable to deal with it." After saying that, the prince pointed to a photo posted on the wall. It was a static ground map of a v15oo aircraft, a slender fuselage, huge wings, and a machine gun like a hedgehog. It makes people feel terrifying at a glance!&1t;/p>
