Chapter 2112: Waiting

Of course, all of this is just an estimate, and we have to look at what the situation is. Of course, you have to say that the night battle is relatively close, and the penetration depth of the armor-piercing projectile will naturally be higher. This is correct, but in any case, Ruprecht still hopes to see the British armor-piercing projectile before the final battle Jinliang, even if you pay some "tuition fees" first, it is acceptable, otherwise, if you find a problem during actual combat, you will be really depressed! After all, if the British changed the armor-piercing projectile not only to change the reliable fuze, but also to the projectile body, then the penetration depth might have to go up again.

　　 As for the battleships of the British Grand Fleet, will they return? Ruprecht has said just now that the "hostages" of hundreds of thousands of British troops in Germany are still worthy of money. It is not that Britain has never lost. In history, the Sun King and Napoleon have caused the British to suffer. , But so what? This time, millions of British troops were wiped out! This is tantamount to making the British Empire’s impressive record for hundreds of years vanished. The hard power of an empire is certainly the decisive factor, but prestige and deterrence are also important manifestations of strength. This kind of material and spiritual double loss is something that Britain is unwilling to bear. Therefore, the main fleet of the Great Fleet will definitely take action.

As for which warships to send, the prince is not sure. Maybe some dreadnought ships will come out to make do, maybe there will be some old super fearless, but no matter what, as long as they come out, then the aircraft carrier detachment of the High Seas Fleet will have the opportunity to send them all. To the bottom of the sea, after all, the British cannot only **** one night!

　　 If you step back ten thousand steps, Jericho can really withstand the pressure, and if he does not send a battleship, Ruprecht can only say admiration! This plan is invalidated, and then consider other plans!

　　 "If the British fleet dispatched capital ships, then Earl Spey's fleet might not be enough." Scheer said with some worry.

"I said this to Earl Spey. His fleet is a decoy to some extent. I don't want him to win the opponent, as long as he can force the battleship of the large fleet to the Strait of Dover. As for what to do if the Spey fleet is severely damaged? The count has already thought about this. He never dispatches more than half of the entire fleet each time. In this way, even if there is a loss, it will be relatively limited, as long as we can solve it. The British dreadnought, then the rest is not a problem." Ruprecht said.

Dreadnoughts and pre-dreadnoughts are fundamentally different. Regardless of the Caesar-class battleships called quasi-dreadnoughts, there is still a gap compared with the British pre-dreadnoughts. The 12-inch L40 gun may not be able to win the British battleship even if it uses armor-piercing shells. The side armor, let alone the Mainz-class armored cruiser. And if there are super fearless in the British fleet, let alone, the fearless before hitting Germany is definitely a shot and a hole! Therefore, it is unrealistic to expect Earl Spey to use his pre-fearless number to kill his opponents in the Strait of Dover. Instead of this, it is better to limit the size of the fleet's attack so that it can suppress the British former dreadnought fleet in the Strait. If so, the fleet rotation can also improve the fleet's condition and attendance.

　　 So, the prince can lose the earl's order, but there are fewer to lose. If the situation is wrong, run quickly, don't be reckless! When encountering bosses that cannot be dealt with, the High Seas Fleet will deal with them, so you can make a bait with peace of mind and beat the old British ship with peace of mind.

　　 "If we eat the first dreadnoughts dispatched by the British, what will the British do?" Admiral Scheer said.

"Then there will be no second batch. The Great Fleet will definitely give up support to the Strait of Dover. By then, the British Expeditionary Force will complete their final historical mission, and our army will soon be eaten up. They. Then, it's time to look at us." Ruprecht said to Scheer.

"Also, transfer our aircraft carrier squadron over here. I will let the Army put pressure on the British. The large fleet should soon take action. The aircraft carrier squadron should also get familiar with the battlefield." Crown Prince Ruprecht Finally said.

　　 While the Germans are deliberately preparing to count the British, the British are also preparing to count the Germans! And this time, the person commanding the entire Strait of Dover is still an old acquaintance of the German High Seas Fleet, Lieutenant General Thomas! And now, Lieutenant General Thomas is working on a battle plan with his staff on his new flagship Audacity.

　　 I want to say that the level of Lieutenant General Thomas is absolutely certain, although the four Queen-class fast battleships in the Indian Ocean did not capture the Suxiong fleet. But this can be attributed to technical problems to a certain extent. If the queen had reliable armor-piercing shells at the time, Su Xiong would lose at least one capital ship. In the North Sea, this buddy commanded the fleet to kill the Blücher, although his own The fast fleet has been made up by the main fleet under the command of Ruprecht, but it can be regarded as winning and losing.

　　 And in this operation ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ because it is only dealing with the former German dreadnoughts, it is impossible to dispatch the Queen Elizabeth-class battleship. On the one hand, it is not used, and on the other hand, it is afraid of loss. However, Jericho is still worthy of his confidant, and of the 4 warships he is assigned to, there are 1 Super Dreadnought and 3 Dreadnoughts!

　　 Among them, this super fearless is quite famous in history, and that is the super fearless battleship Bold, which is nicknamed Bold. Because in history, this product kneeled directly after being hit by a mine... And the charge of this mine seems to be only 180 pounds of cotton gunpowder... To satirize the British fleet's fragile underwater protection system.

　　 But from the paper, the performance of the Bold is pretty good. He is the third ship of the King George V class battleship. (Yes, it is King George V, which is not the first one with World War II.) Equipped with 10 13.5-inch guns, 12-inch main armor, 11-inch turret, and 9-inch upper armor belt. The speed is 21 knots. After being equipped with a new type of armor-piercing shell, it belongs to the kind of warship that is strong and weak.

　　 And the other three dreadnoughts are also the kind of battleships with relatively late time and better performance and condition. They are the battleship Neptune, the battleship Giant, and the battleship Hercules. The strongest side-string firepower of these three battleships is 10 12-inch L50 guns. The thickest side-string armor is 11 inches, and the thickest 9-inch upper armor belt is on the top, and there is a vault at the back. The top speed is also around 21 knots. Although armor protection cannot withstand the German Navy’s 350MM heavy artillery, the 12-inch L40 is still sufficient.
