Chapter 230: Just count (ask for a monthly ticket)
Although, the German Navy\'s breaking fleet is frantically attacking the British sea transportation line, causing great losses to the United Kingdom. However, this did not prevent the British from transporting various supplies to the mainland. The British know very well that the sea transportation line is their lifeblood. For a country that even needs to transport food from overseas, once the sea transportation line is cut off, it means death.
That\'s why the British government is so nervous about the attack on the sea transportation line by the German navy. Only then will the Royal Navy be required to destroy the German Navy\'s breaking fleet at all costs to ensure the safety of the Royal Navy\'s sea transportation lines.
Of course, Germany also knows this, so it will do its best to cut off the British sea transportation line, thereby weakening Britain\'s war potential and winning this war.
It can be said that the competition for maritime supremacy between the United Kingdom and Germany will mainly revolve around the British sea transportation lines. Especially before the main fleets of the two sides engage in a decisive battle, the battle of breaking and fighting against breaking will become the main battle of this naval battle.
The news that the British large-scale fleet departed from Canada was also sent back to China by German spies in Canada as soon as possible. After the German Navy learned of the news, it immediately analyzed it and concluded that this was most likely a British conspiracy.
After all, under the attack of the German Navy\'s breaking fleet, the British have already suffered a lot on the sea transportation line. Even if they sent warships to escort, it only reduced some losses. The battlecruisers and submarines of the German Navy continued to achieve results, sinking British merchant ships and transport ships, threatening the British sea transportation lines.
Even on average, for every ship of materials transported by the UK to the country, a transport ship sank into the sea with the materials. Such a loss, even if Britain has the world\'s largest merchant fleet and the world\'s most powerful shipbuilding capabilities, it will soon be unable to hold on. Therefore, the British will definitely find a way to change this situation. The elimination of the German Navy\'s break-off fleet is undoubtedly the solution to this problem once and for all.
"Your Excellency Marshal, Your Excellency Commander. Therefore, the Naval Staff Department concluded that the news this time was most likely revealed by the British on purpose. And their goal, of course, is self-evident, which is to destroy us. Hand it over to the fleet." Chief of Naval Staff Marshal von Pohl said.
The German Navy Minister Marshal Earl Tirpitz nodded, and he could also guess what kind of calculation the British were planning.
"However, another piece of information shows that the supplies transported by the British fleet are all genuine, and they are all the various resources and food that the British continue. If we don\'t attack them, this fleet will be able to Safely transport these supplies to the UK. This will further unleash Britain\'s war potential," said Admiral Reinhardt Scheer, Commander of the High Seas Fleet.
"General Scheer, do you mean that even if we know this is a trap, we should take the risk?" Marshal Earl Tirpitz frowned. This decisive sea battle with the United Kingdom is directly related to whether the German Navy can gain maritime supremacy from the British. Therefore, he hopes to be more cautious. Such an obvious trap, the German Navy should naturally find a way to avoid it.
"Yes, Marshal. I personally think that we can take a risk. With the strength of our fleet, we can deal with all problems. Coupled with the advantage of speed, even if we are really in danger, we can Escape calmly. If we can get rid of this huge British transport fleet this time, then the British may not dare to do this again in the future. This is very important for cutting off the British sea transport line. It will be very effective to attack the war potential of the British." Admiral Reinhard Scheer explained his reasons.
Marshal Earl Tirpitz nodded, which is indeed very reasonable. However, he was a little uncertain about how to choose.
"Your Highness, what do you think?" Marshal Count Tirpitz looked at Qin Tian.
That\'s right, Qin Tian also participated in this naval meeting. Although, during this period of time, Qin Tian\'s main experience has been placed on Lu Jun. However, after the 8th Army killed the Russian Northwest Front Army, a week-long rest began. Qin Tian also used this time to return to Berlin to report on his duties to King William II and at the same time visit his wife and children.
Coincidentally, after the navy learned of the little tricks of the British, Marshal Earl Tirpitz invited Qin Tian to participate in this meeting. Qin Tian\'s investment in the navy is undoubtedly the largest, and he also hopes that the navy can win the decisive battle with the British the most. Therefore, Qin Tian did not refuse the invitation of Marshal Earl Tirpitz and directly agreed.
"There is no doubt that this must be a trap set by the British in order to eliminate our breaching fleet. I am sure that if we launch an attack, the British must have a strong main fleet ready Ambush us." Qin Tian said.
"Does Your Highness mean that the British will be ignored this time?" asked Marshal Count Tirpitz.
"Of course not. If we let the British fleet reach the British mainland, the British will choose this way next time. At that time, if we want to cut off the British sea transportation line, it will become empty talk So, we must try our best to avoid such a situation from happening." Qin Tian said.
Everyone looked at Qin Tian, wondering why he said contradictory words.
"Although we know that this is a trap set by the British. However, we can use our tricks to let the British steal chickens without losing money!" A smile appeared on Qin Tian\'s face.
