851 The Road to War 3

"Maybe General Hippel can sink a British battlecruiser, but this is not what we need. We need to sink at least three British main battleships! Our efforts must change the situation in the North Sea to a certain extent. The Empire is in a life-and-death war. The Empire hopes that every soldier will perform his duties. The high seas fleet has no choice!" said the prince.

"And now, I believe the British have also received relevant information. If Betty chooses to fight us, then they will definitely strengthen it. This is not something that the Hippel fleet can deal with, and such a moderately large and delicious prey is worth hunting!"

"Although we don't know how the British would adjust the Betty Fleet, we might as well imagine that now on the local land, the British still have a queen, and recently served a new Super Fightless Battle Cruise, Queen Mary. In this way, the number of Betty Fleet may increase to 7 main battleships. The large fleet will retain at least one Battle Cruise team, which should be Major General Hood's third battle cruiser team."

"The size of this fleet is three. Then the British also have three fearless battlecruisers, two of which are in Betty's hands, and one Australia may also enter. In this case, the peak of Betty's fleet is 8 fast battleships, and there is no more." The prince said.

"The scale and strength of this fleet may be somewhat difficult for General Hippel, but it is just right for our Bavarians?" Schell said. This time, the Schell fleet was replaced by Hippel to carry out combat missions. At this time, the first battleship squadron in his hand concentrated the most powerful combat force of the German high seas fleet! Two teams totaled 6 Bavarian-class battleships!

If there were 8 queens on the opposite side, Scher felt a little guilty, but if one queen brought 4 Super Fearless Battle Patrols and 3 Fearless Battle Patrols, Scher would only have hehe. Although he didn't know what results he could achieve, he thought that winning should not be a big problem!

"In fact, if we only deal with Betty, such a fleet is already high-end. We all know that the combat effectiveness of the Bavarian-class fast battleship is definitely one level higher than that of the Schonhorst-class fast battleship. But this is needed, because we may face more than the Betty fleet! General Hippel mentioned many times in the report that the British Navy and other main fleets appeared. So while our fleet responded to Betty, we also need to have spare energy to deal with other fleets!" said the prince.

Faced with this problem, the prince also considered whether to solve the problem of insufficient combat power by increasing the number of warships, but doing so may lead to the size of the fleet, which will make the British smell certain. If you simply send a fleet, whether it is 5 or 6, it can be considered a small-scale attack, but if you add other warships, it will be different.

If you go out 12 warships at once, Betty will definitely not fight you. If you have to go up and fight, you may encounter a large fleet... From the current situation, the Hippel fleet will have to perform other tasks. Now there are 13 main forces in the German High Seas Fleet, including 6 Bavaria, 3 Helgolan-class fast battleships, and 4 Fearless battleships. Six Bavaria have occupied more than half of the combat power of the remaining fleet.

In fact, the high seas fleet will no longer provide much combat power. If all warships go out to sea together, the scale will be too large. After all, before the two sides officially fight, the British can choose not to fight! What's more, the four fearless warships have been in service for a long time, and one of them is also a slow-speed dreadnought, which is difficult to keep up with the new Bavarian fleet in terms of speed, so it's better not to take it in this operation.

Sometimes when fighting, you have to think from the perspective of your opponent. This time the prince wanted to give the British an illusion that this high seas fleet attack was the same as usual Hippel's fleet. It was just a lack of preparation and no harassing battle with the subsequent fleet. The prince wanted Betty to believe that with his own fast fleet, he could kill this fleet. Only in this way would the British fight, and only when the German high seas fleet had a chance to defeat the opponent once!

The prince is very hearted, and he must achieve a killing result of the main battleship no less than Jutland! In other words, at least three battle cruisers must be sunk, at least one of them is super fearless. As for the kill tonnage, this may not be achieved. After all, in the Battle of Jutland, the British also sank several armored cruisers and light cruisers. If these things are converted into tonnage, they are also very heavy! In order to achieve this goal, the German High Seas Fleet took out his most elite battleship squadron!

"According to my observation last time, the size of another British fleet is about 4 ships, and I feel it may be a dreadnought." At this time, Hippel spoke. Why about 4 ships may be a dreadnought? This is not just because a dreadnought squadron in the British Empire is about 4 ships, but more importantly, if a battleship squadron number reaches more than 6 ships, then there are only two possibilities.

First, you encounter a part of the British Fleet. The scene of the large fleet with a maximum fearless development of more than 2 dozen or more is really shocking. Not to mention the large fleet, even if the high seas fleet was unfolded in history, the entire length was more than 10 kilometers (because it is fearless in front). So it is really difficult to see the entire fleet from an angle to the sea surface. You can only see a part.

As for whether it is possible that the British sent two squadrons? This possibility is also very low, because Jericho emphasized that the large fleet has the ability to crush the front and face enough. If two squadrons are out, that is, about 8 main battleships, then there will be only 16 remaining in the large fleet. This is no longer enough to guarantee the advantages of the large fleet, and it is more like a tactic of adding fuel. It cannot be said that there is no, but it can only be said that the probability of appearing is not high.

Second, you meet a group of Forefather Fearless! The British have a large number of Forefather Fearless. And if these warships sink, the British will not feel much distressed. When there are many, large amounts and sufficient combat effectiveness, the scale of the Forefather Fearless Battleship Detachment will naturally be larger. If it is more than 6 fleets, Hippel might have boarded. It is precisely because it is the 4 half-high and not low that it may be a squadron of the Dreadless Ship that made Hippel eventually coward... After all, once it is in war, it is not easy to leave.
