Chapter 811: The opinion of the 1st line generals
"Scheer, are you looking for me?" Major General Bernck pushed open the door of the battleship Bavaria's meeting room. At this moment, he and Reinhard Scheer were the only two people in the huge meeting room, which was too empty. He Scheer's serious expression made Benck feel a little uncomfortable.
"Look at the call from the Admiralty." Scheer finished speaking and delivered an unpacked telegram to Benck.
"Isn't this for you?" Beinck muttered. But he opened the letter honestly.
"This is a bit of a play." After reading the telegram, Benck was a little unbelievable. "I admit that the prince played very beautifully on the eastern and western fronts. I also admit that the warship he designed for us is very good. It is the glory of a naval general to own a battleship like the Bavaria. Is it ridiculous to have an army general command the High Seas Fleet?" Major General Bainck said.
"Prince Ruprecht has the rank of Imperial Admiral." Scheer's answer was very calm.
"Your Majesty also has the dress of the Grand Marshal of the Royal Navy." Beinck threw the telegram aside.
"He fought naval battles, and he won, and he won very beautifully. He planned the battle against the French." Scheer said.
"But he has not received a systematic naval education after all." Bernke said.
"Are you talking about the Naval University diploma?" Scheer raised his head and stared at him, making Benck a little hairy.
"That's right," the Rear Admiral said with little confidence.
"Do you dare to talk to Hipper like this? He doesn't have a naval university diploma, but he is the most brilliant person in the Imperial Navy. Don't you deny it? What you just said is enough for him to fight you." She Er said half-seriously and half jokingly.
"Would you not agree to let this Bavarian prince command us?" Beinke looked at Scheer in disbelief. "And your Majesty the Emperor can't just hand over the command right just because you or some people agree? Isn't this a bit weird?"
"I don’t know the attitude of the emperor, but I think it’s okay to work with this prince. The navy needs an attitude and a spirit. We must dare to challenge our opponents. Only in this way can the imperial navy be truly powerful and discordant. Once a maritime power was engaged in a war that would survive the annals of history, the imperial navy could not rise at all. We lacked a spirit and courage. Especially in this kind of war that determines the fate of the country, we cannot exist as a bystander. , We must get involved. Even if some of us will die, it is better than sitting in the harbor!" Scheer said in a strange tone.
"Do you think that His Royal Highness is a radical?" Beinke said.
"At least he is better than the current fleet commander. You know, I get up every morning and tell myself that I now own the most powerful warship in the world. I need a battle zone to change me, my fleet and my The destiny of the country, but the people above us have been stopping us. We want to break the British abuse of children (break the blockade). But there is no way to do it. Maybe we will fail, but we must at least try."
"So I agree to work with the prince. I agree to give him a chance, a chance to command the High Seas Fleet. Also give us a chance!" After speaking, Scheer stopped looking at Major General Bernck and began to write a reply. Ten A few minutes later, at the end of the letter, Major General Bernker, who hesitated for a long time, also wrote his name.
At almost the same time, Earl Spey, who was far away in Istanbul, also received this telegram. Unlike Scheer, who was eager to break the naval dilemma in a battle with the British fleet, Earl Spey analyzed from a strategic point of view: "From the current point of view, the most outstanding operation of the Imperial Navy after the war was the two operations led by General Su Xiong. The operation of a fast battleship in the Indian Ocean. This operation has proved Prince Ruprecht’s accomplishments in naval issues. I think that it is better for the prince to command the High Seas Fleet to launch a limited offensive in the North Sea than to let the fleet continue. Staying in the port is much stronger."
"If the British really transfer their most powerful battleship squadron to the Indian Ocean, then relying on the asymmetric advantage of fast battleships, we can indeed make a difference during this period of time, and if we can simultaneously attack the blockade If that is the case, then the effect is better! This plan is a very genius plan, but also a very feasible plan." In the telegram, Earl Spey wrote.
The last telegram and the prince’s reminder were sent to Faor. Fortunately, Su Xiong and Raidel did not leave with the fleet at this time. At this time, the two most powerful warships of the German High Seas Fleet in the open sea were underway. The final outfitting preparation, and when Su Xiong received this telegram, his first reaction was to immediately increase the reserves of fuel and various materials! At the same time, remove all things on the battleship that you don't want to control in battle!
"Know Ryder, I have been thinking about who the British might send to clean up us recently. We have caused tens of thousands of casualties to the British. Since the establishment of the Royal Navy, they have suffered such terrible failures too few times. , And after Napoleon, the British have never failed at sea. They will not let us go."
"I have been thinking about who the enemy will be in the future and how they will deal with us. How should we defend, but now, I finally have some information!" Su Xiong said in a telegram. "And I also found the key point for us to avoid this disaster!"
"What do you mean?" Riddle moved in his heart and realized the seriousness of the matter.
"First of all, it may only be the Queen Elizabeth-class fast battleship ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and only their arrival is the most threatening to us! Evan Thomas’s fleet is more than Betty’s lion and tiger princesses. Threat!" Su Xiong said.
"But the speed of the Queen Elizabeth-class battleship is not fast enough to catch up with us. We won't fight with them, as long as we want to go, they will find it difficult to keep us." Raidel said.
"If it's a racing game, we are really not afraid of Thomas. But don't forget, we are fighting the British in the inner sea of the British Empire. They have reached the Indian Ocean. They can now supply and maintain Mumbai, Kolkata, and anywhere, and now The only Confederate port capable of maintaining these two battleships is Bafao! In this battle of endurance and logistics, we will lose, and we will lose miserably! They are like wild wolves following the herd of deer. , Drag us to death after a long chase, and then eat it!"
"Our enemy is not just Thomas's fleet. Mechanical strain, personnel fatigue, and fuel consumption will all be our deadly enemies. In this case, the British will not have to overwhelm us at the highest theoretical speed." Major General Su Xiong said.
"So, from this alone, you think that His Royal Highness is more suitable for commanding the High Seas Fleet? Are you going to support him?" Raidel naturally knew the telegram of the Admiralty. He said in disbelief.
"At this time, we don't support people who can still think of you and give you valuable advice. Who else do we support?" Su Xiong asked rhetorically.
