Chapter 1096: Multi-party response

Slide 1096

"The fleet can be assembled. But Ruprecht, I want to remind you that these two battlecruisers can be lost, but the main force of the High Seas Fleet cannot be moved rashly. If you want the fleet to leave Wilhelmshaven, then you must give sufficient reasons. , And you must grasp the risk. If it is convenient, hand over the matter directly to your subordinates and go to Wilhelmshaven immediately." The Kaiser hesitated again and again, then picked up the microphone and said.

His Majesty the emperor will not let the prince issue military orders or guarantees. After all, this thing is useless. If something goes wrong, I will no longer care about the navy, then go back to the Eastern Front and go on land war... So the Kaiser can only ask the prince to be careful, careful, and careful.

In fact, the Kaiser has now given the prince a step and a solution to the problem. Do you ask the fleet to be assembled on standby? can. Give you this face. It doesn't even matter if these two battle cruisers are lost. When you arrive in Wilhelmshaven, you can take a long time to discuss it and take your time. It doesn't matter whether you are right or wrong.

"Well, let's do this first, I will complete the handover today, and then go to Wilhelmshaven." The prince nodded and said. This is already the best result, and to be honest, even if the fleet is really concentrated in Wilhelmshaven, the prince himself has no idea how to get out, how to get out, and when to get out. Surely it is impossible to go recklessly when your head is hot. The prince is more concerned about using the High Seas Fleet than his own army. After all, where does the strength of the Bavarian Legion lie. As long as it is not deliberately killed, it will hardly suffer, but the High Seas Fleet? The trouble is not good, it is not a joke to be bitten badly.

Say goodnight to the Emperor. You continue to sleep, then hang up, turn around and contact Tirpitz again. The content is very simple. His Majesty has agreed to it. It is estimated that the order will come down soon. Hurry up and prepare to gather the fleet, the Empire The battleships are very precious and can't be given away for nothing!

Finally, the prince said a few words to Hipper. First, let Hipper not worry. The Norwegian Sea is so big, and our warship runs so fast. There should be no problem in a short time. Let him do well. Prepare, and tell Hipper at the same time that the High Seas Fleet is ready to assemble to Wilhelmshaven. I'll talk about it when I arrive, otherwise, the high seas fleet will never go to sea, and it's useless if you worry...

"Telegraph to Prince Leopold, let him come back today to take over the command of the Bavarian Army, and then send a report to Mackensen so that he can cooperate with the Prince to do the Eastern Front." Before leaving, the prince had to make arrangements. Regarding the Eastern Front, I am still the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Front. If I leave temporarily, it is estimated that the Kaiser will not give up this position to others. Therefore, for the time being, there will be no nominal highest commander on the Eastern Front, Leo. Prince Pod can temporarily take pictures of the Bavarian Army and the Bohemia Army, no problem, but Mackensen does not have to listen to the Prince's dispatch. Therefore, the prince needs to greet Mackensen first.

After all, things in Galicia are over. It doesn't mean that the Eastern Front is all right. Prince Leopold will go to destroy Romania next month. This matter might be a bit troublesome without Mackensen's help. It took a few hours to prepare for the handover, and then asked his subordinates to sort out the Navy’s recent situation report. Then the prince looked at the dawn and decided to take a rest. "Damn, I've been busy for another night." I'm afraid it's not a big deal after I die, but I've done my best. Anyway, I'm working hard for myself. Now the prince understands the attitude of future bosses and employees to work.

However, the prince went back and fell asleep, and William II also went back to sleep after letting his subordinates convey the order. But there are people who can’t sleep. Hipper is worried about his colleagues. He started to prepare immediately after receiving the order. Tirpitz, as well as the Admiral Liao Le, who is on duty in the office, also can’t sleep. The task comes. At the same time, they were considering what to do next, and immediately sent a report to Admiral von Boll, the commander of the High Seas Fleet in Kiel, asking him to immediately prepare to gather the fleet, and hinted that Prince Ruprecht is likely to do it again. Take over the command of the navy once and prepare him...

After arranging the task, Tirpitz and Admiral Liole each had a cup of coffee, and then began to stare carefully. "What do you think of this?" Admiral Liao Le, who was staring uncomfortably, said first.

"What are you talking about? The situation on the sea? I really don't understand this, but looking at the prince's solemn attitude, I feel that this matter is not trivial." Tirpitz said. Admiral Liol’s question was definitely not about his attitude towards the prince’s takeover of the navy. The reason is simple. Unlike the army and the general staff, the German emperor is the same when it comes to navy issues, while Ruprecht The prince also proved his ability and won the support of all classes of the navy. So even if people like me don't want to, it won't affect the result.

"His Royal Highness will go directly to Wilhelmshaven. Admiral von Boll will probably also go back. I am in charge of logistics in the office. Or will you also go and help the prince? After all, you are the Secretary of State for the Navy, the new aviation force of the Navy and the Naval Intelligence Department. You do all the work you do, and it’s better if you do.” Admiral Liao Le said.

"Very well, I'll be scolded, you continue to sit in Berlin." Tirpitz muttered in his heart. But there is no way, the responsibilities are limited. When it comes to the work of intelligence and naval aviation ~www.wuxiaspot.com~, he is really in charge. Admiral Lioler assisted the Kaiser in managing the personnel and service of the Navy. Except for the command of the fleet, the rest is Tirpitz's. Who are you not going to? ! It would be bad if the prince asked someone by name at that time.

The words are divided into two paragraphs. Hipper has already told all the information he has to Admiral von Boer who is in Kiel Port. By coincidence, Admiral Scheer is also in Kiel Port. The strong battleship squadron is also nestling in Kiel Harbor.... Once worked with the prince in the Thunder-Surbrus operation, Schell, who had attacked him, immediately smelled an unusual breath from the call from the Admiralty. According to the Bavarian prince, he is basically here to get involved. Therefore, he immediately ordered his subordinates to prepare quickly, if something went wrong.

At about 7 o'clock in the morning the next morning, the fleet mobilization order from the Admiralty was finally sent to Admiral Ball, and half an hour later, the fire was already lit and the first battleship squadron with sufficient steam pressure was under the jurisdiction of the first battleship squadron. The 2 detachments, a total of 6 Bavarian-class battleships and a light cruiser detachment attached to it, and the 3 destroyer detachments began to anchor and prepare to sail to the Kiel Canal.
