The reason why Germany was able to gain a decisive advantage in this war has a lot to do with the fact that German Navy defeated British Navy in many naval battles. If German Navy has no way to gain an advantage or even win, Britain can rely on its powerful navy to block Germany's coastline, and then use the resources of its vast overseas colonies to directly drag Germany to death.
In another time and space, Britain people did this. The powerful Germany was directly dragged to death by Britain people.
However, in this time and space, everything is different. In the decisive battle with German Navy, British Navy not only failed to gain any advantage, but was hit hard again and again. Now there are not even many main battleships left. This allows Germany's overseas trade to continue. At the same time, it can also block Britain in turn, causing Britain to fall into internal and external difficulties.
Therefore, German Navy has become a crucial force for Germany to win this naval battle.
This is also the reason why German Navy felt like facing a formidable enemy when he learned that British Navy had not given up his efforts. Although, German Navy already has a complete advantage in terms of strength. But no one dares to take it lightly. In naval battles, luck plays a large role. Maybe if the enemy is more lucky, it may cause our own side to suffer a complete defeat in the naval battle.
High Seas Fleet can't get it, which is undoubtedly not good news for the Imperial Army. After all, it is impossible for 1st Army Corps and 8th Army Corps of Le Havre to risk the fierce bombardment of British Navy to launch an attack, right? In that case, what is the difference between seeking death?
"Your Majesty, then we may have to temporarily stop the attack on Le Havre. Otherwise, if we force the attack, the losses will be too great for us to bear." Feng Field Marshal Falkenhayn said.
Oscar frowned and gave up the attack, which was not what he wanted to see. However, the heavy price to pay for a forced attack was also unbearable for him.
"Your Majesty, Britain people all use Pre-dreadnought and Armored Cruiser. So, can we also use Pre-dreadnought and Armored Cruiser? The main forces of High Seas Fleet are dreadnoughts and super-Dreadnought, the previous Pre-dreadnought and Armored Cruiser are all used for offshore defense. We can just like the Britain people, let these Pre-dreadnought and Armored Cruiser join the battle!" Admiral Waldersee suggested.
Feng Field Marshal Falkenhayn couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
"Yes, Your Majesty. Imperial Navy, aren't there so many Pre-dreadnought and Armored Cruiser? We can use Pre-dreadnought and Armored Cruiser come to deal with Britain people and solve the problem of Le Havre," said Feng Field Marshal Falkenhayn.
At the beginning of the vigorous development of German Navy, the first Capital Ships was established, which was also Pre-dreadnought. In order to catch up with the footsteps of British Navy, Germany built a total of 24 ships of five classes before and after the top five, including 4 ships of the 'Brandenburg-class' Battleship and five ships of the 'Caesar? Frederick III class' Battleship, five 'Wittelsbach-class' Battleship, five 'Braunschweig-class' Battleship and five 'Deutschland-class' Battleship. Although, these Pre-dreadnought became obsolete before they were completed because of the emergence of British Navy's 'Dreadnought' Battleship. However, German Navy made rapid progress in the era of dreadnoughts, surpassing British Navy in one fell swoop, and finally pulled British Navy from the throne of maritime supremacy.
These 24 Pre-dreadnoughts played almost no role in the naval battle. Originally, the plan was to have them form Bombardment Formation to provide fire support to the army during the landing in Britain battle, which was considered a waste.
Oscar frowned. "Let the navy dispatch Pre-dreadnought and Armored Cruiser to have a Pre-dreadnought duel with Britain people? In that case, wouldn't it be unfair to Imperial Navy?"
General Feng Field Marshal Falkenhayn and Waldersee couldn't help but be stunned, and then nodded.
Indeed, Imperial Navy now has a great advantage. But now it is completely necessary for them to give up their own advantages and use their own disadvantages to fight British Navy. In this case, this naval battle will undoubtedly be very tragic. Imperial Navy will also pay an unnecessary price for this.
Feng Falkenhayn and Waldersee couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. They just started and haven't considered this issue yet. Now that I think about it, it's indeed something that shouldn't be done.
"Your Majesty, why not wait until Imperial Navy has resolved the crisis before attacking Le Havre! In this case, it will be safer." General Waldersee said.
Oscar shook his head. "In that case, it will take too long. Maybe by then the Britain people will try their best to transport Le Havre's three hundred thousand troops back to the country. By then, we landing in Britain will encounter considerable trouble when we fight."
Feng Falkenhayn and Waldersee couldn't help but be dumbfounded. This problem seems to have no solution!
However, the serious expression on Oscar's face has disappeared.
"Your Majesty, you must have thought of a solution!" Feng Falkenhayn asked.
Oscar nodded. "Yes, the Capital Ships team of High Seas Fleet cannot be moved. In order to avoid unnecessary losses, it is best not to use the fleet composed of Pre-dreadnought. In this case, we can only think of other ways. Fortunately, we are not really helpless against the Pre-dreadnought of Britain people."
"Imperial Navy's current Capital Ships is still Battleship and Battlecruiser. However, the two aircraft carriers also showed extremely powerful attack power in the decisive battle with the Britain people. This time, Carrier-based Aircraft Unit can be used to deal with the Pre-dreadnought and Armored Cruiser of the Britain people." Oscar said.
"Carrier-based Aircraft Unit? That's great. In this case, doesn't it mean that Le Havre's problem will be solved soon?" Feng Field Marshal Falkenhayn laughed.
He doesn't care how he solves the threat of British Navy, as long as he can solve the threat of British Navy. Then, he will be satisfied.
"Let 1st Army Corps and 8th Army Corps take a rest first. Then pay attention to protecting the airports around Le Havre. I will give orders to the navy and ask them to mobilize Carrier-based aircraft to rush to Le Havre and launch an attack on British Navy's fleet." Oscar said.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Feng Falkenhayn and Waldersee suddenly felt relieved.
