    "Your Majesty, rest assured that this time the navy will be able to defeat the British, seize control of the North Sea and even the Atlantic Ocean, and fight hard for the empire to win this war!" Navy Minister Marshal Tirpitz said firmly.  As the father of the German Navy, the German Navy can be said to have been built by him.  The German Navy at that time only had a few cruisers.  It has now become a huge navy with twenty-nine battleships and eight battlecruisers. This size is second only to the British Navy in the world, and its total tonnage is the second in the world.

    Marshal Tirpitz was lucky. Over the past few decades, the German Navy had grown from weak to strong. During this period, he received the full support of Kaiser Wilhelm II.  It was precisely with the support of Kaiser Wilhelm II that Germany was able to invest so much financial, material and manpower in the navy and was able to quickly catch up with the British Navy.  Although the German Navy currently has slightly fewer capital ships than the British Navy, such a small numerical difference is almost negligible in naval battles.  If the German navy had a little better luck, it could easily win the naval battle.  What's more, the performance of the German Navy's battleships is generally better than that of the British Navy.  In addition, the German Navy also has these four 'Bavaria-class' battleships. This battleship has four twin-mounted 381mm main guns, which can easily send any British Navy battleship to the bottom of the sea.  The British Navy's Elizabeth II-class battleships are still being outfitted nervously on the slipway, and are destined to be unable to catch up with this naval battle.

    "Father, I believe that the Imperial Navy will be able to win. We have been preparing for this victory for too long! The British have been the maritime hegemons for hundreds of years, and now it is time for us, Germany, to replace them!  "Crown Prince William also said excitedly.  He is also a staunch supporter of the navy. His blood boils when he thinks that the German navy will defeat the British navy this time and bring Germany to the position of maritime hegemony and even world hegemony.  Although the naval strength of several major powers in the world is still very strong, Crown Prince William believes that as long as it can defeat the British Navy, Germany will be the well-deserved maritime hegemon.  As for other powerful countries China and the United States, he did not pay attention to them at all.  When he went to China to attend the wedding of the Chinese Emperor and the Seventh Princess of Bavaria, he was deeply shocked by the Chinese Navy's Han-class battleships. Now, the German Navy already has a Han-class battleship that rivals the Chinese Navy.  'K?nig-class, battleships, and the more powerful 'Bavaria-class, battleships.  Of course, the Chinese Navy also has Tang-class battleships, which were put into service earlier than the German Navy's Bavaria-class battleships.  But Crown Prince William believes that, judging from the industrial strength of China and Germany, the battleships of the German Navy are more powerful than those of the Chinese Navy.

    Almost all the people who participated in this secret meeting had this belief. Everyone firmly believed that in this decisive battle with the British Navy, the German Navy would definitely win the final victory.  They all regarded the navy's decisive battle as the hope of quickly winning the war.  Now that the war on land has fallen into trouble, the navy has become Germany's only breakthrough and hope!

    "I am very happy that the Navy has such confidence. I also believe that the final victory must belong to Germany. Your Excellency Tirpitz, please introduce the specific plan of the Navy!" Kaiser Wilhelm II suppressed the excitement in his heart and said  He spoke.  He seemed to have seen the scene of the German navy crossing the sea and sinking all the warships of its old enemy the Royal Navy.  He has been waiting for this day for too long.  If Germany wants to dominate the world, it can only advance by stepping on the corpse of the previous generation's hegemon, Britain.  Once it defeats Britain, wins the war, and integrates the resources of the entire Europe, Germany will quickly defeat other countries, including its former ally China, and become the new world hegemon!

    "Yes, Your Majesty!" Marshal Tirpitz nodded, then opened the documents he brought and introduced them to everyone.  The navy generals are already aware of this plan, or in other words, this plan was completed under their leadership.  But Kaiser Wilhelm II, Crown Prince Wilhelm, Chief of General Staff General Falkenhayn and Prince Heinrich still don't know much about it.

    ¡°Your Majesty, after many years of construction, the Imperial Navy now has 29 battleships and 8 battlecruisers.

    Among them, the battleships include 8 Nassau-class battleships, namely Nassau,

    ¡®Westphalia, Rhineland, Posen, Hamburg, Hannover, Hesse and Bremen.  8 Helgoland-class battleships, namely Helgoland, Osterfriesland, Thuringia, Oldenburg, and Rhine  ,'East Prussia,No.,'Bern,No.! Glaze Sal,No.  5 ¡®Caesar class battleships, namely ¡®Caesar, Frederick the Great, ¡®Caesar¡¯Celine, 'King Albert,' and 'Prince Regent Luitpold,'.  The four K?nig-class battleships are the K?nig, the Grosser Kurf¨¹rst, the Border Governor and the Crown Prince.  The four "Bavaria" class battleships were "Bavaria", "Baden", "W¨¹rttemberg" and "Saxony".  The battlecruisers included ¡®Von.  Germany.  Tann class, battlecruisers, respectively ¡®Von.  Germany.  Tann, Scharnhorst, and the improved Seydlitz, two Moltke-class battlecruisers, namely Moltke and Goben.  Three Derfflinger-class battlecruisers, namely Derfflinger, L¨¹tzow, and Hindenburg.  "Marshal Tirpitz said.

    Others nodded, and they were very clear about the strength of the German Navy.  However, when they heard Marshal Tirpitz read out these advanced battleships one by one, they still felt excited.

    Admiral Tirpitz paused and continued: "And our enemy, the British Navy, has one Dreadnought-class battleship (the other five Dreadnought-class battleships have been sunk by China in the Red Sea Battle and the Mediterranean Battle)  or captured), 6 'Bellerophon class, battleships, 6' Saint Vincent class, battleships, 4 'Neptune class, battleships, 3' 'Colossus class, battleships, 4' 'Orion class, battleships, 4  'King George V class, battleships, 7' Iron Duke class, battleships, there are also 5 'Queen Elizabeth class, battleships and 'Revenge class, battleships are under construction. Not counting the later 'Queen Elizabeth class',  The British Royal Navy also has 35 battleships and 5 'Revenge' class battleships. In addition, the British Royal Navy also has 10 battlecruisers, including 3 'Invincible' class battlecruisers ('Invincible', 'Indomitable')  , 'Insatiable,' 3 'Indefatigable,' battlecruisers ('Indefatigable,' 'New Zealand,' 'Australia,'), 4 'Lion,' battlecruisers ('Lion,'  HMS Princess Royal, HMS Queen Mary, and the improved HMS Tiger). Although the British Navy has six more battleships and two more battlecruisers than ours. However, ours  The performance of battleships is generally better than theirs. Moreover, I believe that after this naval battle is over, the five 'Queen Elizabeth-class battleships and five 'Revenge-class battleships' that the British are building will always stay on the slipway. Or,  Join the German Navy in the order of battle!"

    "Haha! That's right, if we win this naval battle, those battleships will belong to us!" Crown Prince William laughed.  If the German Navy wins this victory, although it will lose many battleships, it will also capture some British Navy battleships. The ten new battleships under construction will bring the strength of the German Navy to another level.  The German Navy will thus become the most powerful navy in the world.

    Of course, the prerequisite is that the German Navy must defeat the British Navy and win this decisive battle.

    "The specific plan is as follows. Vice Admiral Franz von Shippe, commander of the High Seas Fleet's reconnaissance squadron, will lead a reconnaissance fleet composed of eight battlecruisers to attack the offensive capabilities of the British naval forces responsible for monitoring and blockading the German coast.  Surprise attack, simultaneous mine-laying and submarine attack on the British coast, with the aim of destroying the British fleet. When the cumulative results of such operations have equalized the strength of the two navies, all our forces must be ready and assembled to try to find an enemy.  The unfavorable fighter planes carried out a fleet decisive battle. According to the information we obtained, the main fleet of the British Navy is currently in Scapa Flow, commanded by British Admiral John Jellicoe. In addition, the British Navy Vice Admiral David Beatty led the  The British Navy's battlecruiser detachment is anchored in Rosyth. Vice Admiral Shipey's goal is the British Navy's battlecruiser detachment led by Vice Admiral David Beatty. And lead this battlecruiser detachment to where we have already arranged  In the trap, annihilate them in one fell swoop! At that time, the strength of both sides will be reversed, and we will gain an absolute advantage. We will defeat the main force of the British navy rushing to the battlefield in one fell swoop!" Admiral Tirpitz said.

    This plan is almost seamless. If no accidents occur, the German Navy is very likely to win.

    "When will the plan be implemented?" Kaiser Wilhelm II asked.

    "May 30th at the end of this month!" Marshal Tirpitz replied!
