    (It turns out that saving manuscripts is a joke)

    Hymns from centuries past were sung in the ancient churches, sailors patrolled along the breakwater shouting trumpets, a faint mist floated on the surface of Jed Bay, and the shadows of the era of large ships and cannons were on this shallow sea.  Looming in the fog.

    The early morning in Wilhelmshaven is like a European medieval oil painting, with tranquility and tranquility permeating under the thick ink and heavy colors.

    At the dock far away from the military port, an iron ore ship slowly docked at the dock under the guidance of the pilot boat from Wilhelmshaven. A tall Nordic sailor threw a thick cable from the bow of the ship flying the Finnish flag. The staff of the Port Authority  Then tie the cable to the iron pile on the pier.

    The owner of the cargo ship was busy making the final delivery with the owner of the iron ore, while the Nordic sailors who left many splendid legends in the North Atlantic were wearing clothes made of rough linen and standing on the rear bridge of the rust-covered cargo ship.  on board, looking boredly at the harbor they visited every few months.

    Wilhelmshaven during the war would always surprise them. Just as they discovered a few months ago that the ocean fleet in Wilhelmshaven had added new members, just as now, the distant and long whistle sounded again from the depths of the military port, and the sound passed through quickly.  Passing through the vast Jade Bay, echoing in the empty Wilhelmshaven.

    The Nordic sailors turned their heads in surprise and tried to find the source of the sound in the thin mist.  In the next ten minutes or so, the Nordics were fortunate enough to see the most spectacular scene in the era of dreadnoughts.

    With an upright bow, a long forecastle ship type, a piggyback turret, a tripod mast and a square cruiser stern, the first battlecruiser to fly the German-Italian "Chapter" Iron Cross naval flag and the fleet commander's flag was dragged along by several ships.  The powerful tugboat pulled out of the sea fog.  This giant ship split the water of Jade Bay, lifted up cascading waves, and sailed towards Helgoland Bay without turning back.

    The 30,000-ton steel giant ship brought a huge sense of oppression to the Nordic sailors. Although their ancestors once dominated this bright sea of ??stars, after all, the age of sails has gone.  The story of the Vikings will only be passed down by word of mouth among sailors. These elegant steel monsters wearing armor and holding sharp blades are the real masters of the North Atlantic and even the entire ocean!

    The second battle cruiser also emerged from the sea fog, followed by the third battle cruiser.  Every battleship is so majestic.  The Nordics originally thought that this was all the German Ocean Fleet could rely on to cross the North Atlantic. Unexpectedly, a few minutes later, another battle cruiser fleet consisting of more than 30,000 tons of steel giants appeared.

    "Haha, those are our King of the North Atlantic Mackensen class and the Derfflinger class that was invincible in the Battle of Ridland!"

    The proud voice of the Germans came from the direction of the pier.  The businessman who was originally arguing with their captain over the shipping fee suddenly threw away his philistineness and sophistication, left the captain and ran to the heights of the pier, contentedly looking at their ship.

    "This is the Seydlitz, our first German Seydlitz-type battle cruiser. The last one is the Moltke battle cruiser. It is our German unsinkable ship, and its sister ship Goben  It is also famous in the Mediterranean and Black Sea!"

    The merchants praised their battleships unceremoniously, their faces filled with indescribable pride and happiness.  For a moment, the Finn was a little jealous.

    The Nordics once left a mark in the North Atlantic. When did they start?  They gradually faded out of this ocean, saying that they had forgotten each other in Beihai.  When did it start again.  A continental nation without a navy bravely took the first step into the ocean, and relied on the strength of this nation to overthrow the arrogant Royal Navy. When did it start? Germany is also a naval power. Among the big land countries  A sea soul was cultivated from his iron-blooded temperament?

    Unaware of the outcome, the Nordic sailors looked to leave Wilhelmshaven.  As the German fleet rushed to the vast ocean, the Nordics could only be wounded sadly.

    (Gorgeous dividing line)

    "Let's deduce it again. I always feel that there are still parts of our plan that are out of control."

    A little bit of sea fog floated over the bay, and the one-armed general raised the blinds.  Then he reached out and pushed open the half-closed window, staring deeply at each battlecruiser leaving Wilhelmshaven, letting the cold morning air in the harbor gently flutter his empty sleeves.

    "Oh." There was a squeaking sound of the chair corners rubbing against the floor from behind, and a half-hearted reply from my old friend Erich Raeder.

    "What information does the British know?" Wegener asked without looking back.

    "The political situation in Germany was unstable, and the Workers' Party's rebellion brought Germany to the brink of civil war; Sealem was dragged out by the stupid army and had to stay in Kiel. He was temporarily unable to return to Wilhelmshaven to command the ocean ship."  Behind him, the German Chief of Naval Staff Raeder seemed to be stealing something and answered vaguely:""The Soul of the Great Country Chapter 8: Load the Guns!  (4) "The soon-to-be-formed second reconnaissance group lingering in the northern part of Helgoland Bay is a bait thrown by Sealem, not a bait. The ultimate goal of the Ocean Fleet is to severely damage or completely annihilate the United States before it enters the war.  The fast fleet, try to avoid a decisive battle with the main fleet of the Grand Fleet; the German secret code has been leaked, and the actions taken by the First Reconnaissance Group against the fast fleet that suddenly moved south confirmed the reliability of the secret code."

    "What is the information we already know?" Wegener continued.

    "The time for the Americans to join the war has not yet been determined, and they may send four or more capital ships to join the North Sea battlefield. Therefore, the British ideal time for the decisive battle in the North Sea should be after the Americans officially declare war on the Allies; the British do not know what the secret code they received is  The empire deliberately leaked it, and they also underestimated and misjudged the ultimate purpose of the Ocean Fleet. We will surprise them; in the end, the British problems in the Battle of Ridland did not improve. The latest Revenge-class battleships in service,  The Canada-class battleships and the Prestigious-class battlecruisers are either still products of firepower being paramount, or they are completely different by forcibly switching the attributes of the battleships. Their armor-piercing bombs may also have major problems. At the beginning of the month, their Vanguard battleship sank due to an ammunition depot explosion.  "

    "Confuse the British and Americans as much as possible, and then launch a naval campaign before the Americans declare war on us, induce the British to divide their forces, and focus on destroying part of the Grand Fleet. This plan should be seamless, right?"

    When Wolfgang Wegener turned around, the hesitation on the one-armed general's face disappeared, replaced by the same bravery and iron-bloodedness as before.

    ¡°The war is imminent, why does Silem still stay in Kiel?¡±

    "The Spirit of the Great Power", Chief of Staff of the Imperial Navy Raeder, who occupied the magpie's nest, sat in the seat that belonged to the one-armed general as if there was no one around, with his two feet slanted on the desk.  Wegener frowned unconsciously, and while gesturing for Redel to put his legs down, he asked: "I'm worried that if Silem continues to stay in Kiel with Catherine, he will have all of his ribs broken by Anne!"

    "Silem will leave tomorrow and the day after tomorrow at the latest, detour to Danzig Bay, and then take the train back to Wilhelmshaven." The breakfast bread and beef n¨£i on the one-armed general's table disappeared. Erich Raeder ate them up and said lazily.  : "If you want the British to cooperate with the decisive battle in June, and if you want to delay the Americans from participating in the war, you have to perform this annual drama in full"

    (Gorgeous dividing line)

    Kiel, surrounded by rebels, is not as difficult as imagined. After all, the navy firmly controls the Kiel Fjord, and all supplies can be transported into Kiel by sea.

    At the Kiel Naval Base, Wang Heidi casually flipped through the information transferred from the Naval Intelligence Office.

    The first is the intelligence about the British fast fleet going to sea. The Naval Intelligence Office also noted the rumor picked up by spies lurking in Scapa Flow that "David Beatty tried to use the fast fleet as bait to replicate the Battle of Skagerrak."  The judgment given was "nonsense."

    Wang Heidi smiled.  The Naval Intelligence Office is under the jurisdiction of the Naval General Staff. Under the careful management of old friend Erich Leder, the Naval Intelligence Office is superior to the intelligence agencies of the Army and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in terms of work efficiency and strategic vision.

    Betty will not launch a decisive naval battle at this time, because the strength of the Grand Fleet at this moment is not enough to completely unbalance the balance of power in the North Sea.  Whether the four battleships of the Fourth Battlecruiser Fleet of the Fast Fleet are strengthened to the Grand Fleet or remain in the Fast Fleet, they will inevitably weaken the strength of the other side. That is to say, when the Royal Navy hits the German fleet, its fast fleet and its main fleet will inevitably weaken the strength of the other side.  One of them will inevitably suffer heavy damage, but the excellent protection of the German battleships can withstand the attack of the stronger party and wait for reinforcements.

    The second piece of information was the British reaction to the first reconnaissance group going to sea.  This information should not have appeared, because the Royal Navy is also a mature navy and will not directly expose the dynamics of the fleet's top management to the eyes of its opponents. However, those "genius commanders" who suffer from delusions on the Grand Fleet Staff Department  In order to prove the reliability of the naval battle blueprint they had imagined on their own, they did not hesitate to add the attitudes of David Beatty and Osmond Brock, so the secret joy of the Grand Fleet was revealed.

    The last piece of information is about Americans.  The time when the Americans entered the war was closely related to the British's active attack, and Wang Heidi was not prepared to let the British receive four or more capital ships reinforced from across the North Atlantic, trying to deal with the British before the Americans entered the war, so  Heidi Wang asked the Naval Intelligence Office to focus on the movements of the U.S. Navy.

    ¡°Recently, various fleets on the east coast of the United States have been training frequently. It seems that the United States¡¯ participation in the war is imminent!¡±

    Wang Heidi frowned unconsciously and marked the document with a level two confidentiality level. Two New York-class, two Nevada-class battleships and other battleships frequently entered and exited the army.The mixed intelligence of Lian was gently placed on the desk, then he grabbed the phone and asked.

    "Is the clipper to Danzig Bay ready tomorrow?" (To be continued.).
