If Xu Jie has now considered what China should do when the German Army becomes bigger, then the cooperative relationship between the German Navy and the Chinese Navy can be said to be close. After all, the former involves whether Germany can become a powerful country in Eurasia.

, and the latter? Xu Jie was still afraid that the Germans would not be able to spend more British troops.

The strength of the Chinese people, and from now on, the relationship between Britain and the United States is getting closer, and it is possible for the United States to participate in World War 1 in advance. With the entry of the powerful United States, the strategic balance between the two sides is likely to be broken. So for the sake of China

In order to benefit, Xu Jie believed that it was necessary to continue to deepen the naval cooperation between China and Germany.

There is no need to say anything more about the German High Seas Fleet. It is just that the two sides will violently battle the ships and then go through the main battles again and again to see the outcome. There is no need for the Mediterranean, and the German Navy basically has nothing to do. So the only thing worth worrying about is Xu Jie's and the battle situation.

The only ones that can have a certain influence are

The Middle East. Very early on, Xu Jie reminded Germany that it should value the geographical location of the Persian Gulf and treat it as a separate battlefield. This is why Germany later decided to strengthen the Turkish Navy and decide to use the Far East Fleet when necessary.

The fundamental reason for the transfer to the Persian Gulf.

The Persian Gulf is really close to the British colonies in India. Xu Jie also knows this. Even Xu Jie can basically think of some of the things that Si Pei thought of. After all, as a time traveler, his own experience is much greater than

There were far too many ancient people 100 years ago. But even so, Xu Jie still believes that Germany must establish a relatively stable naval base in the Persian Gulf. Although it is difficult, if the Germans can gain a firm foothold, it will be a good thing for the future.

The war situation will have far-reaching consequences.

First of all, Germany needs to understand the consequences of gaining a foothold in the Persian Gulf. After the Turkish fleet and the Far East Fleet merge, relying on the mine array deployed at the exit of the Persian Gulf can basically ensure the safety of the military ports in the Persian Gulf. Large warships cannot enter.

small battleship

It is useless to go there. Even if there are submarines, we must also consider the sunken ships and mines pre-set by the underwater anti-submarine network. This threat is too great. After all, not everyone is a U47 captain and can drive a U-boat into the British Navy.

anchorage and then sink the Royal Oak!

With a relatively stable base, many remaining things will be easier to handle. The British port in India is indeed very close to the Persian Gulf. At the same time, it is indeed easy to detect the whereabouts of the German fleet, but the question is, what can be done if it is discovered?

Unless the British fleet deployed in India is powerful enough to completely suppress their opponents,

The Germans have nothing to do. But the German and Turkish fleets will have at least 4 more dreadnoughts. If the British want to completely suppress it, they will need 8 anyway, and put 8 precious dreadnoughts in India and the Mediterranean battlefield.

If we have to divide our forces, the large fleet remaining in the British mainland may be stretched thin?

If the British really do this, even if the German and Turkish fleets stay in the port, strategically speaking, Germany and Turkey will have the advantage! But if the British power does not reach this level, then it cannot be completely eliminated.

The German fleet enters and exits the Persian Gulf. It is even said that the German and Turkish fleets are okay

Before the British fleet is in place, bomb some ports first so that these ports cannot accommodate the battleships. In this case, the British will either not come or they will have to choose other ports that are far away. In theory, the British

It is impossible to deploy such a powerful fleet in the Arabian Sea during peacetime.

If the German fleet goes to sea, then it is necessary to analyze the actions that this fleet will take and the countermeasures taken by Britain, as well as the possible costs of such countermeasures. As mentioned earlier, it is impossible for the battleship to be responsible for breaking the engagement, and Germany

The most indispensable thing for the Far East Fleet and the Turkish Fleet is a variety of old warships. The Germans and Turkey will bring out the King armored cruisers and those new light cruisers to break the relationship, as well as a large number of camouflaged raiders, including almost all

Non-capital ship.

Faced with this hodgepodge, the British are in trouble. For example, if the British know that the other party has only one light cruiser in this area, then after getting the whereabouts, you can exclude a few light cruisers for search.

.But what would the British do if they knew that the other side might have an old cruiser in this area? Do you still dare to easily send out a light cruiser to attack? Although

In theory, a cruise ship can run away at high speed, but what if it cannot run away? Hundreds of thousands of pounds will be thrown into the sea. Even if it is an old cruise ship, at least one new cruise ship will be needed to deal with it. In this case

, the cost of British operations has risen from a few light cruisers worth hundreds of thousands of pounds to several cruisers worth more than one million pounds! Of course, you can also take risks. If you are confident enough in your rp, you can also try it.

.

That is to say, the more and more complex the opponent's warships are, the greater the risk will be in the British's judgment of the target and the strategy to be formulated. And the more forces involved will be. And the more friendly forces one has in a sea area, the greater the risk will be.

Provide early warning and exchange information to each other. If the British dispatch a large fleet and capture an attack ship, there is a certain probability that they can

After hearing the telegram and transmitting it to other warships, this allowed the simple hunting and breaking of friendship to develop in the direction of wolves. This improvement in efficiency is quite large. The Germans can even arrange unarmed camouflage ships to specifically provide supplies to the raiding ships.

and intelligence. And all of the above are only the threats and influences brought by some battleships. And the battleships of the German and Turkish fleets have not yet appeared!

What is the purpose of the capital ship? Of course it is not to find merchant ships on the vast ocean. This is too inefficient and too cheap! The purpose of the German-Turkish fleet's dreadnoughts or super-dreadnoughts is to perform escort missions in this area of ​​the sea.

Battleship! All the battleships that can beat the enemy are in the hunt of the German and Turkish battleships.

On the kill list! They will try to choose lonely routes, and there will be auxiliary ships to provide intelligence, and then find suitable prey to hunt! Because the overall strength of the British in this sea area will not be higher than that of the German and Turkish navies

Too much. If it is really too high, then the British will be in a tight spot.

In this case, when small-scale battleships are fighting, various accidental factors and the individual performance of the battleships will play a very critical role. For example, in the second battle, the Bismarck and Prinz Eugen should not be able to defeat Hood and the King of England.

King George V. But in the end, one of the opponents was killed and one was injured. And if you calculated it carefully and relied on excellent commanders,

and battleships. If it can defeat its opponent in a small-scale naval battle, the result will inevitably have a significant impact on the situation in this sea area. And if the UK loses its battleship, it will inevitably need to mobilize new battleships from the mainland.

, in this case, we can create a favorable situation for the decisive battle between the High Seas Fleet and the British Empire Fleet!

All in all, the German-Turkish fleet in the Persian Gulf is not only a simple break-up fleet, but also a powerful guerrilla fleet. It is capable of consuming the main battle force of the British fleet. As long as they are not careful, the British

It is possible to lose very valuable battleships. This will further affect the

Of course, the German and Turkish fleets also have the possibility of losses. But as the challenging party, you must have the mentality to bear the losses. This completely depends on the quality and level of both parties. Relatively speaking, Xu Jie believes that Count Spee

His level should be higher than that of most British commanders.

Another question now is, if we don’t build a base in the Persian Gulf, is there a better way? Xu Jie has also considered it, but after much thought, he really hasn’t. If we abandon the Persian Gulf, the Turkish fleet will only

It can be placed in the Mediterranean and Black Sea. There are only a few ships in the Russian fleet in the Black Sea, and they will definitely not be able to cross the Dardanelles. They are almost dead fish and there is no need to pay attention. Then there is the Italian-Austrian fleet.

The result of this is that the Italian and Austro-Hungarian combined fleets have a few more ships, which greatly increases the difficulty of coordination. It is hard to say what Italy and Austria-Hungary can do together. If you add Turkey, then

It's a bit chaotic. This situation is not as strong as the mixed fleets in Southeast Asia during World War II. Moreover, the Turkish naval base is too far away from Italy and Austria-Hungary. This is also very problematic for coordination.

More importantly, if the Persian Gulf base is not established, where will the Spey fleet go after the war? If there is a Persian Gulf, the Spey fleet will at least have a home. If not, whether it is to return home via the Indian Ocean or the Atlantic Ocean,

The Pacific Ocean return trip is unreliable. It will be intercepted sooner or later at such a long distance. The ship will be damaged and there will be no room to repair it.

Fang. And even if you reach the North Atlantic, there are only a few ways to get home. If the big fleet has blocked it, it is almost like asking for death! According to Jericho, even if you swim out of the North Sea, it will cost you a fish

Report to me! Although this is an exaggeration, no matter how exaggerated it is, it will not cause the Spey fleet to go back. Well, the premise is that the Spey fleet can survive until then.

Is it okay if we just deploy the Spey fleet in the Persian Gulf and the main force of the Turkish fleet in the Mediterranean? Let alone Turkey in the Mediterranean, coordination and cooperation with the Italian and Austrian fleets are problems. And if there is only the Spey fleet in the Mediterranean,

The fault tolerance rate is too low. So what if the German Far East Fleet has 2 Dreadnoughts? Alone

It is easy to catch one ship out. After all, the British are accustomed to fighting in groups. Once there is only one warship left, the ability to contain the British will be reduced a lot. In other words, only when the fleet strength reaches a certain critical

Once the level is reached, the threat to the British fleet will be rapidly amplified. It will be so great that the British cannot ignore it.

Just when Xu Jie was planning the future layout of the Indian Ocean for the Germans, and said that when necessary, the Chinese Republic could consider accommodating the German Far East Fleet in terms of "supply" and "intelligence", the British were not willing to be left alone, and the British

Someone in the empire has already felt an ominous premonition. And this person is on the way to the Far East with Jericho.

On the ship! After repeatedly comparing the charts and intelligence of the Indian Ocean and the Far East, he believed that a series of fierce and protracted battles would occur in the Indian Ocean in the future. This man was Rear Admiral Thomas, who once controlled the most powerful battleship squadron in the British Empire.

!This man who once saved Betty in the Battle of Jutland and was tricked by Betty has already felt the crisis!
