Chapter 2163 Chess Difference 1 Move One

If Jericho and Thomas talked about how the application of aircraft carrier squadrons solves the problem of how to fight at the tactical level, then in this meeting, Jericho solved the strategic level of the British Royal Navy's large fleet, that is, What kind of strategic situation to fight, and where to fight!

Relying on the two important islands of the Orkney Islands and the Shetland Islands, the British Royal Navy has obtained the best engagement situation they can have at present. Jericho firmly grasped the main force of the German High Seas Fleet and the Spey Fleet. The core issue of confluence, the large fleet took the initiative to fight the German fleet as far away from Norway as possible with the support of land-based aviation, so that the British fleet could not only take advantage of its own aircraft carrier, (at this time the British unaware of the existence of German aircraft carriers) and even some land-based aviation support.

Jericho has considered the various situations he faces. If the weather is fine, the Grand Fleet will naturally use carrier-based aircraft to discover the Spey fleet. During the battle, it will first use a wave of torpedo attacks to deplete and delay the Spey fleet, and then Thomas will take the British The fast fleet went up to kill the German battleships that were slowed down by torpedoes.

And if the weather is bad or at night, then Jericho is not afraid of night battles! Use radio positioning and camouflaged reconnaissance ships to track the German fleet and then intercept it, and Jericho's preset battlefield will definitely not be the narrow mouth between Shetland Islands and Norway, because it may encounter the German high seas that also go north. fleet. If the British fleet is pinched, this matter will become a big deal.... So Jericho decided to conduct a mobile battle in the Norwegian Sea, intercepting the Spey fleet as far as possible from the North Sea!

As for what if the Spey fleet forcibly passes through the English Channel? For this, I can only rely on the submarines and mine-laying troops of the British Navy. In theory, it would cost a lot to break through like this, but the British can't say for sure how the Germans choose, and how big the difference will be between the actual situation and the theory! I can only do my best to obey the destiny! Anyway, Jericho has one thing to be sure of, that is, the Grand Fleet will never enter the area south of London!

In the eyes of the British, this meeting is a meeting of unity, a meeting of success, a meeting of victory! It pointed out the direction for the future battle of the Grand Fleet. Let the officers and soldiers of the large fleet see the hope of defeating the German fleet. But is this really the case?

While Jericho was holding a combat conference in the Firth of Forth, Ruprecht was also considering the final engagement. Since Ruprecht can propose the method of returning the Spey fleet to force the Grand Fleet to take the initiative, he will definitely consider the consequences of doing so and the response of the British fleet!

"If I were Jericho, then I would seize the time to re-deploy aviation forces in the Orkney Islands and Shetland Islands. And relying on these two islands, I will actively search for the returning Spey fleet in the Norwegian Sea, Then get rid of him in the Norwegian Sea! The final decisive battle can only be in the Norwegian Sea!" Ruprecht said, pointing to the giant chart hanging on the wall.

Ruprecht is very clear about the thoughts of the British. As a traverser, he naturally knows how to use land-based aviation power to the greatest extent to cooperate with the fleet. So what Jericho can think of, he can naturally think of it, but So still promote this plan, then Ruprecht must have a way to deal with it!

At this time, there is a red solid line in the northern part of the Orkney Islands and Shetland Islands. This dotted line indicates the combat range of the twin-engine bombers based on these two islands, and there is another red dotted line in the north. This represents the patrolling range of British four-engine aircraft. There are not many British V1500s left, so it is not enough for air strikes. The only threat is the bomber of the FB27 level.

"If this is the case, we are at a disadvantage. The British fleet can intercept the Spey fleet as far west as possible. It is difficult for our air force deployed in Norway to cover this area. The British fleet has a huge force in this area. Advantage." Admiral Scheer pointed to the position of the solid red line with the putter in his hand. And a solid blue line next to it represents the support range of the air force deployed by the German Navy in Norway. There is a huge gap between the two solid lines.

"So, before the Spey fleet comes back, we must first resolve the engagement situation!" Ruprecht said with a smile, and then he asked his attendants to place the icons representing the High Seas Fleet around the Shetland and Orkney Islands position!

"Before the Earl returns, the High Seas Fleet must take the initiative to attack! Directly use naval guns to completely wipe out the airports on the two islands from the ground!" Ruprecht said decisively!

"This?! Isn't it too dangerous?" Hearing Ruprecht's words, both Scheer and Hipper felt their heads buzzing. Although the main force of the large fleet is not deployed in the Orkney Islands now, they It is also deployed in the Bay of Forth. In terms of distance, the British fleet is closer to the Orkney Islands! If the German fleet let the British get the news after it set off and waited in the Orkney Islands, then this matter would be a big deal!

As for whether starting from Wilhelmshaven will be discovered by the British? This one will almost certainly be found! It doesn't matter whether the secrets are leaked or not. Think about it, how big is the High Seas Fleet when it goes out! The German fleet can't be invisible. Why do you walk more than 900 kilometers on the sea without being discovered by the British? The British have submarines under the sea, and seaplanes on the sea surface. Even if you sail at night, the fleet will rush forward at a maximum speed of 25 knots, 250 nautical miles a night, not even 500 kilometers! This TM is just a gift! Can't help but Scher and Hipper are not afraid!

If you want to say that the weather is bad, is it okay? This can only be said to be possible. I can't be sure, but the navy is a one-shot deal. A single mistake may wipe out the fleet accumulated for decades. Do you dare to bet that you will win? Scheer and the others feel a little offended.

"If our air force deployed in Norway can support it, then we are at least equal to each other. The British rely on the air bases in Orkney and Shetland. We rely on Norway. We have more bombers and crews. The personnel are more elite." Major General Becken said.

"If that's the case, we will have a decisive battle ahead of time." Scheer said after thinking for a while. After listening to Rear Admiral Becken's words, Scheer was not particularly resistant, because this at least allowed the two sides to achieve a balance of power. However, considering that the strengths of the High Seas Fleet and the Grand Fleet are relatively close, the most likely outcome after the war It's a lose-lose situation.
