Chapter 892: Brilliant victory

When Hipper was packing up and preparing to go home, the prince had returned to Wilhelmshaven with his fleet. When the water level rose during the high tide, the entire fleet successfully entered the Gulf of Yard, the most important anchorage of the High Seas Fleet in the North Sea. ! At this time, everyone's hearts finally fell, because, by now, they are completely safe, and the carefully planned Thunder-Thurbulus campaign has successfully ended! The German fleet won the battle with indisputable results. This is not like the subsequent battle of Jutland. The loss to the British is irrelevant. After all, even the weakened British fast battle fleet can still stabilize the hope. Pell, the German fleet is still at an absolute disadvantage in terms of fast warships and main fleets, and the tactical victory not only did not increase the confidence of the officers and soldiers of the High Seas Fleet, it also made them feel a desperate gap in strength, but this Not the same once!

First of all, this time, the High Seas Fleet did not meet with the Grand Fleet... That is to say, I have not witnessed the horror scenes of more than 20 dreadnought ships and super fearless unfolding, and have not been destroyed by the firepower of more than 100 turrets and more than 200 artillery guns. A battle line of more than ten kilometers long and a fleet of millions of tons. This kind of thing looks at numbers as a concept, and when it comes to fighting, it is another concept. So even if the German High Seas Fleet has made great progress on this plane, the prince will Don't dare to meet the big fleet easily.

The morale of the high seas fleet was greatly stimulated by this battle. Think about it, a behemoth that once had to look up, and feel terrible from a distance. Even the top Germans have no hope of defeating the large fleet. In this battle, he was easily won. It is true that the prince’s precise planning and various preparations for the German High Seas Fleet were well done. Naturally, there were many difficulties.

But when it comes to the ranks of grassroots officers and soldiers, even captains and commanders of most squadrons, they don’t know the whole plan. Their perception becomes more superficial. They think they can win this time and they have a huge advantage. Then I'll definitely win the next time. The High Seas Fleet's fear of the large fleet is gone. This is of great significance for adopting more radical and proactive strategies in the future!

Of course, the most important thing is that after the end of this battle, it formed a huge asymmetric advantage over the British fleet. The British Fast Fleet is already at an absolute disadvantage! What if the 4 queens come back? The 5 queens and the remaining 6 battlecruisers (1 Super Dreadnought and 5 Dreadnought Battlecruisers) can do not much. If the Lions and Tigers can still produce some output, then invincible. In addition to sharing the firepower, Liu is really nothing to count on on a regular battle line.

There are actually 5 queens who can really fight! And is the German Navy afraid of 5 queens? If the lions and tigers were all there, it would be tricky, but now, even the entire British fast fleet has entangled the main force of the German High Seas Fleet. The prince can guarantee that he will be able to penetrate the British fast fleet in at most an hour!

Therefore, even if the queens return from the Indian Ocean, the German High Seas Fleet’s superiority in the fast fleet is still unshakable. If you have to ask when the British fast fleet has the opportunity for the Germans to compete again, then at least you have to wait. The Queen of the British reaches 8 ships, and then some R-class battleships are cut off and converted into fast battleships, right? After all, the German Bavaria is also in service one ship after another! It can be said that the prince has played an asymmetrical advantage for a long time in this battle!

In addition to gaining some advantages in military strength, Germany has also made a huge breakthrough in its strategic layout. Before the outbreak of the battle, the British fleet can ensure that sufficient troops are deployed at the same time in the Shetland Islands and the Gulf of Forth. To block the North Sea Passage, the latter was used to suppress the German High Seas Fleet's fast fleet. Now, with the loss of a large number of warships, the situation has changed. Forth Bay and Shetland Islands must give up one, but now the Forth Bay cannot be given up. Once the Shetland Islands have no major fleet, then the so-called The blockade of the Tenth Cruiser Formation is just a joke, without the main fleet to rely on. If the German fast battleship goes to nothing, it can make the British blockade unsustainable!

So, to some extent, the German fleet has broken the North Sea blockade. Before the British fleet returns to the Shetland Islands, the German maritime transport lines will be unblocked to a certain extent. After all, the British would not just throw a large number of auxiliary cruisers and the lives of thousands of people into the sea in order to stop some civilian ships. Not to mention, if the German battlecruisers attacked once, they would kill one auxiliary cruiser. Make a big profit! After all, there are thousands of people besides one ship! (Because the auxiliary cruiser has a boarding team prepared for dozens or even dozens of groups in addition to the normal staffing...)

From the current point of view ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The only remaining tiger in the entire British fleet that can catch up with the German war cruiser, but even if it catches up, it can't be beaten! It doesn't make much sense to catch up. Is it just to make Germany beat him up? Therefore, before the large fleet returned to the Shetland Islands, the safety factor of the small-scale operations of the German war patrol was still very high. This is one of the important reasons why the prince finally agreed to the Cedric to hang around the North Sea Blockade.

"Finally home!" When the last battleship entered the bay, Scheer finally let out a breath. The fleet is now safe. The port is full of busy people. The damaged warship needs to undergo simple repairs and then enter the Kiel Canal, then arrive at the port of Kiel, the base of the German fleet, and enter the dock for maintenance. The officers and soldiers have been fighting all day, and they also need to relax.

"Your Royal Highness, your telegram." At this moment, an officer sent the latest instructions from the Kaiser.

"Ruprecht, you did a great job, and in return, I will give you the corresponding glory and power. Trust me, friend, when you return to Kielport, you will enjoy your predecessors And the most glorious moment in your life." Looking at the telegram sent by the Kaiser, the prince smiled slightly. How can Wilhelm II think of what he wants and can give? But he does want to know what kind of reward the Kaiser can give after the victory of this battle!

"Is it the command of the Eastern Front? Or is it promised that the navy will cooperate at the right time?" the prince guessed.
