The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 867 Victory Is Never Accidental!

In fact, when the German High Seas Fleet lost an old armored cruiser Blücher, the navy also held Hipper accountable. Of course, the Germans were relatively fair on this issue. The senior officials of the High Seas Fleet believed that Hipper's command was not wrong. The biggest problem was probably that Blücher was thrown to the end. If Blücher was in the middle, he might have survived. After all, other bcs are stronger...

Of course, the Germans did not grasp this point. There was no way, who made Blücher run the slowest... If Blücher is thrown in the middle, it will be even more impossible to increase the speed of the entire fleet. In fact, as the last generation of Blücher, he should not be grouped with the new BC. And there is another problem: Blücher's captain Edelman took the blame for Hipper. In the final signal to the flagship, he said that the warship could no longer maintain speed and could only sail at a speed of 12 knots. But in fact, Blücher at that time could still reach a speed of 17 knots. However, after receiving Edelman's report, Hipper naturally had twelve reasons to leave immediately. "Betty really seems to have no choice to leave directly!" Ten minutes later, after receiving the telegram from the avant-garde fleet, Scheer said with bright eyes. His palms of constant frustration were as if they were always ready to attack. Eat a meal like a polar bear. Well, the current German fleet is indeed "hungry"! A few light cruisers and destroyers are just an appetizer, and although this battlecruiser can be called a main course, isn't it a pity to order only the main course after preparing for such a long banquet? At this time, as someone with thousands of ar3 experiences, he was killed hundreds of times on the south wall, and later decisively threw away hundreds of ice dragons that were caught in the net. At the same time, he has played hundreds of war games with his uncle in this plane. His Royal Highness Prince Ruprecht, who has already practiced decisive decisions on the chessboard and in practice, can only give Betty the best medicine. One is to abandon the Queen Mary, or even let the Queen Mary launch a counterattack to buy time for the fleet to evacuate, as Scheer did historically in the Battle of Jutland. If the captain of the Queen Mary is responsible enough and far-sighted enough, then he should take the initiative to leave the queue like Major Edelman did! It is not easy for warships with similar speeds to catch up with their opponents, but it is also not easy to escape once they enter the combat distance. From the simplest numerical perspective, the average maximum speed of the British fleet is 28 knots, and it has run so long It has been half a day, and how long it can be maintained is also a question. The prince's fleet has a maximum speed of more than 26 knots, and the actual speed is only about 1 knot! The distance between the two sides at this time is only about 16 kilometers. If 18 kilometers is the attack limit of naval guns, then the British will need an hour to escape with the best luck, but in fact this is impossible because The fleet needs to constantly adjust its course in order to avoid the opponent's artillery fire. As for using smoke screens? Want to surround yourself with a smoke screen for an hour? Think too much! Why is the prince so confident? Not only because the Bavaria-class battleship is too powerful, not only because he is calculating mentally but not intentionally, an important reason is that the prince has already considered all possible actions that the British may take! Betty's fiery temper means that he will definitely choose the most aggressive style of play when he thinks he has the upper hand! This has been the case historically, and there is no reason why it shouldn’t be the case now! The British have a large number of light cruisers and destroyers, so the prince also allocated enough auxiliary battleships! And through preset settings, a wave of lightning strikes from the British had almost no effect. When the British launched a lightning strike, there was almost no change in the course and speed of the main fleet, and the torpedoes fired from 8 kilometers away were ignored. Yeah, if this thing can hit,

The British can win! Even the prince has a rough estimate of the hit situation. After all, there are so many reports on the Battle of Dogger Sandbank and the Battle of Jutland in later generations. It is still possible to estimate the hit situation of both sides under normal circumstances.

The only problem is what if Betty just chooses to walk away when she realizes that something is wrong? Or even docking the tail of a gecko! His goal is to at least achieve the number of battleship kills in the Battle of Jutland, but it seems that Betty has not yet realized this. From this perspective, Betty's command level is far inferior to Scheer! As long as Betty doesn't leave, the prince has nothing to fear, because he knows that at this time Betty is as helpless as a gambler about to fall into the abyss, someone who can't even abandon a battlecruiser. , and you still want him to have his arms cut off in the action later? it's out of the question! Even at this time, the prince can guess what Betty will think! Betty will definitely make up ten thousand reasons to stay here! He could imagine that when Moore arrived with two battlecruisers and the Warrior, he could at least make the number of fleets equal to that of the opponent. If he persisted for a while, Vice Admiral Jerram's battleships would arrive. At this time He is great. Then take the opportunity to launch a counterattack. If you can damage a few German warships, you might be able to completely keep them behind. Well, Betty must have thought so! As for this category, if we hold on for a while, the reinforcements will return, and then we can take advantage of the situation and fight back to win, the idea is everywhere in history. There are some who really persist to the end, but they cannot persist until the end, or even There are also many people who were deceived by the so-called reinforcements, such as the 74th Division on Menglianggu during the Liberation War... For example, Paulus' Sixth Army under Stalingrad... Another example is Betty now! "Okay, at least before 2 o'clock in the afternoon, it's your time to fight hard." After the prince said that, he leaned on the chair, closed his eyes, and rubbed his numb temples. Why do you say you can play freely before two o'clock in the afternoon? Because after this point in time, the large fleet might jump out from there! The prince thought it was better not to meet Jericho at this time... Although he did not choose to run away, Betty also knew how to turn around. The entire fleet turned seven compass points to the northeast and chose the closest rendezvous route with Moore's fleet. After discovering that the British had changed course, the German fleet immediately followed suit. In order to gain this last period of rendezvous time, Betty gritted her teeth and dispatched another wave of stuff that was read as destroyers but was actually cannon fodder. Even the Harwich fleet that followed from behind launched an attack. However, because the position was really bad and there was a light cruiser formation behind it to cover it, the effect of this attack was naturally very good! The fourth update is here~~~!
