"Gentlemen, the Britain people have set a trap to deal with our Commerce Raiding Fleet. I have to say that this is a big threat. However, within this threat, there is also an opportunity. If we can If we seize this opportunity, German Empire's navy will be further ahead of Britain's people. In future naval battles, we will have a greater chance of winning," Oscar said.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Oscar, as if they were waiting for what he would say next.
"According to the information currently available, the British fleet is being escorted by four 'King George V-class' battleships. These are four powerful super-dreadnoughts equipped with five twin-mounted 343mm main guns. They are definitely the main battleships of the British Navy. If we can eat these four British battleships in one go, it will undoubtedly cause the British to pay heavy losses." Qin Tian said.
"But, the Your Highness and Britain people must have been prepared. They will definitely ambush other fleets and wait for us. With the strength of our Commerce Raiding Fleet, it will not be a big problem to eat the four 'King George V-class' Battleship of the Britain people. But if we are ambushed by the Britain people, the problem may be serious." Marshal von Boll was a little worried.
Qin Tian smiled and continued, "Let's continue our analysis. The British know that the main force of our enemy fleet is battlecruisers. They also know the advantage of battlecruisers very clearly, that is, they are much faster than battleships. Therefore, if they want to ambush us, the most likely possibility is to use battlecruisers. After the British battlecruiser Lion was sunk by us, they still have nine battlecruisers left, namely three Invincible-class battlecruisers and three Indefatigable-class battlecruisers, as well as the remaining two Lion-class battlecruisers and the just-completed Tiger battlecruiser. The "Tireless-class" battlecruisers pose little threat to us. This kind of thin-skinned battlecruiser is no match for our advanced battlecruisers. Only the "Lion-class" battlecruiser and the "Tiger" battlecruiser can confront us. Of course, previous naval battles have proven that the "Lion-class" battlecruisers are no match for our advanced battlecruisers. Battlecruisers are still no match for our Moltke-class battlecruisers, and are at most as powerful as our Blücher-class battlecruisers. Therefore, even if the British dispatch battlecruisers to ambush us, it will not pose a great threat to us, and for us, this will be a good opportunity to severely damage the British navy."
"Your Highness, what if the fleet sent by Britain to ambush us includes another Battleship?" Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz asked. After all, what Oscar just said was all speculation that the Britain people only sent Battlecruiser to ambush German Navy.
Oscar nodded. "It is indeed possible, so I think that the 'Derfflinger class' Battlecruiser we have been hiding can also be dispatched. They will serve as Our Commerce Raiding Fleet were the follow-up reinforcements in this battle. Once the Britain ambush appeared, they immediately launched an attack and dealt a fatal blow to the Britain people."
'Derfflinger class' Battlecruiser is completely different from another time and space. The 'Derfflinger class' Battlecruiser in this time and space is equipped with three triple-mounted 50 times caliber 380mm Main Gun, the terrifying Battlecruiser. The firepower of the main gun is astonishing. At the same time, in terms of defense, it has also been greatly improved compared to the previous level 'Moltke-class' Battlecruiser. It can be said that even if there is a confrontation with Battleship of Britain people, the first person who cannot support him will definitely be Battleship of Britain people. Before the subsequent 'Mackensen-class' Battlecruiser enters service, this will be German Navy and even the most powerful Battlecruiser in the world.
'Derfflinger class' Battlecruiser has been kept under a high degree of confidentiality since it entered service. Although the Britain people tried every possible means to find out the true strength of German Navy, they still failed.
Although, Germany invests huge sums of money in intelligence work and counter-intelligence work every year. However, it now seems that these investments have undoubtedly paid off. Now, it's time to reap these rewards.
"Let'Derfflinger class'Battlecruiser join the war? Your Highness, have you considered it? If'Derfflinger class' When Battlecruiser joins the war, Britain people will know that we have equipped Capital Ships with 380mm Main Gun." Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz frowned.
"It's not a big deal. Even if our 'Derfflinger class' Battlecruiser is not exposed, the Britain people will not slow down their shipbuilding plan. According to the latest information obtained, the Britain people's 'Queen Elizabeth-class' Battleship and The construction speed of 'Revenge-class' Battleship has been greatly accelerated, and it is expected to be put into service next year. Therefore, there is no need to hide it anymore. If we can cause serious damage to British Navy in this battle, then everything will be worthwhile." Oscar said.
"Your Excellency, Your Highness's plan is absolutely feasible. If we can severely damage British Navy, even if we only sink four Britain ships in this battle, Battleship is enough for us to further maintain our advantage over the Britain people. In that case, we will have a greater chance of winning in future naval battles," said Admiral Reinhard? Scheer.
Even Marshal von Boll, Chief of Naval Staff, couldn't help but nodded and approved Oscar's plan.
Indeed, for the senior officials of German Navy, what they want to do most is to defeat British Royal Navy. However, British Navy's background was so strong that they had to face it cautiously. Every step must be done with caution. This time's plan is a bit risky. But the chances of success are undoubtedly high. No matter what happens, even if there is real danger, German Navy and these Battlecruiser can completely throw off the enemy and escape with their speed advantage. After all, Battlecruiser of German Navy is much more powerful than Battlecruiser of British Navy. If Battlecruiser of Britain dares to pursue him, he is undoubtedly seeking death.
"Well, since everyone thinks so, let's implement it according to Your Highness's plan." Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz nodded.
"Gentlemen, this will be a rare opportunity for Imperial Navy. Whether you can seize this opportunity depends on you." Oscar is also full of expectations for this plan.
