"The Germans are used to organizing their newly-served light cruisers into a reconnaissance fleet, which is our light cruiser squadron. This newly formed fleet usually uses the second reconnaissance fleet number, starting from the original second reconnaissance fleet, and all reconnaissance fleet numbers are dragged one after another."

"The Germans lost a large number of light cruisers when the Battle of Helgolan Bay and the Battle of Skaglak Strait. However, their shipbuilding plan allowed them to obtain only two Palau, two Glaudents and two Wiesbaden-class light cruisers as supplements, so the Germans quickly started to build a light cruiser code-named FK."

"The first ship of the F-class light cruiser, Cologne, was launched. Before January 1917, Germany successively received four KF-class light cruisers. Strangely, these four light cruisers did not form a military force and became the new second reconnaissance fleet. Now the KF-class light cruiser No. 7 has been completed, but the second reconnaissance fleet has not been replaced, so I judge that the Germans may refer to the first reconnaissance cluster and prepare to form a second reconnaissance cluster including seven FK-class light cruisers."

Before the Navy's high-level meeting was held, several senior officers from the Grand Fleet and Naval Base appeared in the office of the Commander-in-Chief of the Grand Fleet, David Betty.

The newly appointed deputy chief of staff of the Great Fleet pointed out the country on a map of the North Sea hanging on the wall, and then pressed the baton heavily in the southwest of the Ridland Peninsula, which is the northern waters of the Helgolan Bay.

"After the FK-class light patrol ships No. 6 and No. 7 completed the second sea test and light modification last month, they all disappeared from the other five FK-class light patrol ships that were originally docked in Wilhelmshaven. Just three days ago, the Navy Intelligence Department discovered a fleet of German naval flags on the west coast of Ridland, all composed of new light warships. The unknown fleet is likely to be the second German reconnaissance cluster that has not yet officially entered the army."

"Chapter" "In early June, after the overall uprising of the Schleswig border defense force, in order to prevent us from providing material and personnel support to the rebels from the west coast of the Ridland Peninsula, the German Navy must send a highly mobile fleet to block the coastline. For the German Navy, this is a good opportunity, because they can take the opportunity to transfer the second reconnaissance cluster that has not yet been formed, and support the land counter-insurgency war, while organizing single-ship and coordinated training at the sea to speed up the pace of fleet formation. For our Royal Navy, this is also a good opportunity!"

The newly-cited and refined deputy chief of staff ended his long speech with murderous aura with his scholarly aura.

Betty's office, without praise or rebuttal, was as silent as if he had died.

In 1917, the whole world said that the large fleet had risen again after a short period of low periods, and in the following time it would challenge the powerful ocean fleet and regain the honor of the undefeated empire. The English cheered for this public opinion, but the senior officers of the Royal Navy scoffed.

The large fleet, which supplemented nine battleships and nine battlecruisers, did rise again in terms of military equipment. However, at the level of the jing god, the invincible aura of the large fleet's positive and upward momentum at the beginning of the outbreak of the European war has disappeared. The Royal Navy, which was so severely humiliated by the Germans that it had fear and inferiority complex, was not ready to rise again.

After suddenly learning that the guy named Heidi Sileme from the other side of the North Sea returned to the Navy, many senior commanders who were originally interested in "taking the initiative" and had the idea of ​​fearing and avoiding war changed their positions immediately: Marshal Jelico's "long-range blockade" theory is the best way to deal with the Ocean Fleet and the German Navy's God of War. A large fleet with a good deed of cards does not need to or can bet on the fate of the country to fight the North Sea.

""A few days ago, the death of the avant-garde touched the nervous and fragile nerves of many naval commanders, and a shadow was cast in their hearts. At this point in time, the senior officers who were in a conservative state who were not allowed to be present felt resistant.

This is an opportunity. Ridiculous! Who doesn't know that Heidi Sileme is a master of tactical deception, good at hiding his strategic goals, and just waits for his opponent to reveal his flaws and give him a fatal blow to the decision. From the Battle of Helgolan Bay to the nearest Battle of Ustica, the deception skills of the German Navy God have become more and more mature. Who dares to say that the light cruiser squadron in the north of Helgolan Bay is not a bait?

"Chief of staff, although the seven new German light cruisers are not considered strategic goals, they are more than enough to use them to make tactical goals. Moreover, this fleet has not yet formed an army and is about a hundred nautical miles away from Wilhelmshaven, so there is also a chance to eliminate it..."

It was Lieutenant General Osmond Brock, who was promoted to commander of the Scapa Bay Naval Base in 1916, who came forward to rescue the deputy chief of staff who was sent from the academy. Osmond Brock, who could not bear to embarrass the new deputy chief of staff, broke his silence and said:

"But since we can even see that the unarmed reconnaissance cluster is in danger, and our opponent is Heidi Silem, the best maritime commander at the beginning of this century, we must carefully consider it before taking any action. Chief of staff, don't forget the Battle of Helgolan Bay and the Battle of Dogel Sands, which have been included in the Naval Academy's textbook, and don't forget the Battle of Skaglak Strait!"

"Generals, the situation on the battlefield in the North Sea is that the Royal Navy has twenty-four battleships and thirteen battlecruisers, and there is also the Mizi Flagship that has sneaked out of the east coast and crossed the ocean to reinforce. The Germans are infighting, and the limited reconnaissance and patrol forces are used to block the coastline of the Ridland Peninsula. The long-famous god of war "The Great Power Sea Soul Chapter 8 Guns and Cannons are loaded! (I)" Heidi Silem has to be trapped in Kiel Port as the deputy commander of the Kir Rebellion Command because of the drag of their stupid army, and the Germans have only nineteen battleships and eight battlecruisers!"

The deputy chief of staff did not notice the strange gods on his colleague's faces, nor did he hear the subtext of Lieutenant General Osmond Brock. The stubborn academic faction tried hard to press his emotions, pushed the glasses on his nose, and said concisely the situation on the battlefield in the North Sea.

The commanders present looked at their deputy chief of staff as if they were looking at monsters, and the deputy chief of staff was not only fearless, but even a little angry.

The Deputy Chief of Staff did not understand why the Royal Navy was conservative. Apart from the USS Defence battleship that had already retreated to the second line, the large fleet had thirty-seven main battleships, plus the four battleships sent by the Americans, the number of main battleships would reach an unprecedented forty-one. The Germans had only 27 main battleships. The Deputy Chief of Staff did not believe that the Germans' quality advantage could withstand such a large number advantage of the Royal Navy!

Before Silame returned to the German headquarters, the Ocean Fleet lacked leaders with sufficient prestige and influence, which caused them to be suppressed by the army for a long time, and their morale was distracted. The rebellion of the Baltic Fleet sailors was the best proof. Silame's return boosted the morale of the Ocean Fleet, but this naval soul was bound by their stupid army and could not move in Port Kiel. Without the on-site command of the God of War Heidi Silame, the best tactical commander Hippel was promoted to Minister of the Navy. Why fear such an Ocean Fleet?!

The German Emperor William had abdicated, but the chaos in Germany did not end there. Prince Baden Max and Friedrich von Hedering from Bavaria organized a new zhèng fu. The former acted temporarily as the head of state as the regent, while the latter manages all civil affairs power as the prime minister of the empire.

The intention of the Regent and the Prime Minister to try to replace the Supreme Command in angered Marshal Hindenburg and General Rudendolf. I don’t know whether it was the slogan “Abolish the imperial system and implement republic” shouted by Albert and his rebel army, which hit the mind of the Supreme Command or the intentional indulgence of the Supreme Command, controlled by Rudendolf, who made Albert and his rebel army. In short, these three forces were entangled together.

In the turbulent political situation, the rift between the royalists and the republicans, and the rebels who headed south from Hanover to Wilhelmshaven. In this context, can the Ocean Fleet win the large fleet?!

The report on the battlefield situation of the deputy chief of staff of the Great Fleet attracted the slightest smile of the fleet commander who had been fighting the front line in the North Sea of ​​England and Germany for a long time.

The academy master underestimated Heidi Silem, who was the god of war in the German navy. If the naval battle was just a simple number game, the Germans would have lost a lot. There would be no saying that Silem is worth a battleship team!

The fierce political struggle in Germany could not affect the Ocean Fleet. In the traditional sense, Silame was considered a hero rather than a hero. He did not have the ambition of a politician or the cruelty of a politician. However, this does not mean that he lacked the vision of a politician. It should be known that Heidi Silame was able to plan and launch the Portsmouth naval battle under the pressure of the naval political storm created by the German Emperor to severely humiliate the genius of the British Empire.

In the chaos in Germany in May and June, Silem and his navy did not take advantage of the three parties in Germany to get benefits, but were extremely quiet. This silence can sometimes arouse the other party's fear than going shirtless, forcing them to pay attention and win over Silem and the navy. Give all the supplies and supplies needed by the navy.

As for Albert's rebels trapped Heidi Silem, it was a complete black joke. Not to mention "Te used a wrench to hit the stage of history in the Battle of Skaglake. He was stunningly bombarded the heart of the empire in the Battle of Portsmouth. The German Naval Air Force, which became famous in the World War Great London, could not Silem take a warship to leave Kiel Port and transfer from East Prussia to return to Wilhelmshaven? Does the Navy Secretary have to sit in the office in Berlin? It is important to know that the former German Navy Secretary Reinhardscher participated in the Portsmouth Battle throughout his term!

Faced with the senior executive of the large fleet who was justified and fearful of war, the deputy chief of staff experienced unprecedented loneliness. He turned his head to see the commander-in-chief of the fast fleet who wrote "Scarglack's Gold" and sought the support of the talented lieutenant general. However, Lampard obviously did not agree with his aggressiveness and just shook his head gently.

The deputy chief of staff raised his arm awkwardly and wanted to say something, but after his lips trembled, he still let his words go in his stomach. Frustrated, he did not notice a flash of light flashing under the hat brim of David Betty, the commander-in-chief of the Fleet, deliberately lowered.

"This topic can be stopped because I am sure that the reconnaissance fleet that stays on the west coast of Ridland Peninsula is the bait thrown by Sileme!" David Betty took out several documents from the drawer and threw them on the desk, then stretched out his index finger and pressed the brim of the lowered hat, and said lightly: "For some people, this may be good news. After you sign the confidentiality agreement, I have another good news to notify you!" (To be continued.)
Chapter completed!
