"West Lyme, you are already the deputy commander of the vice admiral Ocean Fleet. The empire doesn’t need you to give your life. You have to get used to the war operations and strategize."

Reinhardt Schell’s words also don’t know whether it is to advise Wang Haidi who can’t bear loneliness or whether he has been promoted to the imperial navy minister and can’t easily follow the fleet to sea. The old sailor’s monologue is always lonely. Schell put aside that cup of bitter coffee and got up from Luo’s chair to shake the sand table in the operation room.
There are many models in the sand table. J Ο ng makes the model fleet retreat to Scarpa Bay. The first patrol fleet deploys Harwich Port. The third light patrol fleet deploys two destroyers on the west coast. They are scattered in the main ports on the east coast. The Channel Fleet is located in Jiedover Port and several shipyards.
The bell chimes in the command room, and the sound is crisp. The command room is about to fall asleep. Lieutenant General Ma Wei doesn’t want to open his eyes. Lieutenant General Schmidt has no skin and shame. Lieutenant General haneke will win the chess game. Pretending to be busy, the fleet staff have stopped to stay, and the faces of the three naval giants have been fixed with excitement.
The secretary of the navy, Rheinhardscher, jerked his eyelids, and perhaps stole a glass or two. The deputy commander of the hawker, Wang Haidi, nodded at General hippel with a cigarette in his mouth. The latter got up and wanted to get through the line room, and the ground-breaking voice was sent out.
"Inform all teams of the suffocation plan!"
Key words in Chapter III of the Second Gun-Asphyxiation Plan (5)
"The so-called suffocation plan is essentially aimed at the British economic blockade war. Even if Ri does not fall into the empire and can’t move all the gold, even if Ri does not fall into the empire and has the most developed shipbuilding industry in the world, even if Ri does not fall into the empire and has the most territory in the world, in the final analysis, Britain is an island country with narrow territory and poor resources, and relying too much on overseas resources is Achilles’ ankle."
A little moonlight sprinkles water off the Irish island of the British Empire, and the salty and wet sea breeze caresses the sea surface, making the imperial navy flags of the No.2 and No.29 medium-sized submarine control towers of the No.2 submarine detachment clank.
The cliffs on the coast of Donigor Bay are faintly visible. The personal speech of Lieutenant Colonel Otto Weddigen, commander of submarine command module 29, has reached a high level of há.
"Even though we won the naval battle in Ritland, the Royal Navy still has the ability to protect itself, which makes it impossible for us to launch a landing war and destroy their shipyards, naval academies and military ports, oil depots and coal depots. The British empire and the policy of exploding warships have made the big fleet re-emerge as a big fleet that will inevitably exhaust the last national strength and rearm. We are destined to have a big naval battle that will shock the world!"
Weddigen screamed at the top of his lungs. The command module was dead and silent. The nautical chief unconsciously raised his head and opened his mouth with an incredible face. He covered his face with a thermal torpedo parameter table and fell asleep. The torpedo chief did not know when he opened his heavy eyelids. He sat in the corner and buried himself in writing a private book. The staff officer grabbed the pen hand and still kept the book flowing, quietly recording Weddigen’s speech.
"The purpose of the suffocating plan is to do everything possible to weaken the British before the big fleet is rearmed until we trample on the big fleet for the last time, and then Britain will lose all its gambling money and surrender with both hands!" The submarine king waved his arm and made a cadence summary of his speech.
Is it over? The strange atmosphere in the command module seems to come alive and abandon their leading brother-Otto Weddigen is too talkative. No.29 officers and men have got up to give the submarine king the most enthusiastic palm.
It’s not that Weddigen’s soldiers are too hypocritical, but this time, Lieutenant Colonel’s adult has really outdone himself!
"Will always tell others that these are all things that I stole from General West Lyme at the secret naval meeting in March? ！” Weddigen tried to hide the villain’s success, and he chose to hide the flying eyepiece knife-shaped eyebrows.
"The captain found that the light on the port side may be an English patrol boat!"
Weddigen didn’t go wild for long because the lookout at the top of the control tower elevator channel sent him a pre-jǐng.
"What’s the panic? ！” Although submarine No.29 is far away from its lair-Helgolan Bay, a natural safety zone for the British-Irish waters, bold Weddigen never thought that the sea area with him and his submarine No.29 would be a so-called safety zone!
"Deck all guys roll back to the cabin for me to 29 emergency dive! Prepare for the torpedo cabin! "
Submarines No.29 and No.2 kept the periscope depth one after another. Twenty minutes later, an active reconnaissance cruiser led three Roman-class destroyers and rushed over, dragging a powerful searchlight beam and playing soy sauce as if passing through this hidden and murderous sea area.
"The active reconnaissance cruiser has a standard platoon of 344 tons, two 4-inch guns, and the Roman-class destroyer has a standard platoon of 275 tons, a 12-pound gun and 76 mm torpedo tubes. Although they are all small mosquitoes, Otto Weddigen has a very good appetite!"
It’s a hidden murder! Weddigen was reluctant to remove greedy eyes from periscope and complained bitterly to those who covered their mouths and snickered.
"The old submarine is not here for transportation!"
The submarine periscope crosshair was biting the British Aggressive light cruiser, and Weddigen almost reached the fire order. Unfortunately, the boxes of arms in the submarine aisle stopped it. In the next ten minutes, the narrow and dirty cabin of submarine No.29 became the vinegar jar of Weddigen’s adult.
Three days ago, Otto Weddigen led twenty medium-sized and ocean-going submarines to sail secretly from Helgolan Island, and a Norwegian merchant fleet broke through the blockade of the British Orkney Islands to the vast North Atlantic.
In 1915, the wolf pack tactics had become the trump card of the German submarine force, and many soldiers would make the ship strong. Weddigen passed by the incomplete Scarpa Bay in a low-key way, but it was gorgeous. This made Weddigen sad. After rushing out of the gap for several hours, the submarines 29 and 2 went to the Irish island and met two Edgar-class old armored cruisers of the British Tenth Cruiser Team. Weddigen jumped his feet and stopped the Scottish west coast. Weddigen once vowed to "miss or not let go" for the third time.
"Captain, if we don’t hurry, I’m afraid we’ll miss the joint of Irish dú lì Army!" Twenty minutes left from three o’clock in the morning, the staff officer turned over and woke up.
Weddigen finally stopped beijīng full of prison sā drooping eyes, and J and ng light passed away to restore calm. Lieutenant Colonel casually flipped through the wooden box cover in the submarine passage, grabbed a rifle that had passed the gas Committee and skillfully pulled the bolt at the gas.
"A thousand committee rifles and a hundred thousand rounds!" Weddigen curled her mouth and threw this rifle with low evaluation and many problems back into the wooden box. She joked, "Our deputy commander is not expected to do business. I hope that the Irish living in Belfo Y and N can do a big job and not let us return to blood!"
Gorgeous dividing line
At three o’clock in the morning, dark clouds blocked the bright moon, the night in the North Sea was thick and the British coastline was quiet.
Blackwater River is just a stone’s throw from the mouth of the Thames, which is heavily guarded by the British navy. It has penetrated into the coastline of the British Empire, but it is also a reserved place for German imperial boats.
A powerful searchlight pierced the sea level like ink, and a flag destroyer with a herringbone crossed the estuary and swam to the river. At this time, the waves on the quiet sea suddenly appeared, and a boat got out of the sea and the searchlight flashed a few times.
The sea breeze mixed with a little coal smoke and the faint roar of the steam engine floated over. A Graudenz-class light cruiser deviated from the main channel explored by the boat and crossed the coastline of the hull to keep parallel. The 15 mm main gun pointed out that the British Empire had followed the Graudenz lightly. A Nautilus-class mine cruiser and a type mine-laying ship also dispersed to the mouth of the Stahl River, and the two main channels were ready to stand by.
Nautilus-class cruiser is a mine cruiser specially designed by Germany. It was built in 1995 with a standard displacement of 22 tons and a speed of two sections. The mine depot with a door and a millimeter gun can hold two mines. Most mine-laying ships are modified from 15-class torpedo boats and 195-class destroyers, each of which can hold 15 mines and then add a mine-laying submarine. This is almost the main force of imperial mine warfare.
Heavy mines were moved from the mine ammunition depot deep in the hull, and the stern mine deck was placed. The square mine deck guide rail of the square ship’s stern mine cabin was tilted, and the well-trained sailors turned their heads and waited for the captain’s instructions.
The newspaper from Port William finally delivered a short order from the bearded old captain, Rhonda, holding the armband hat.
"Choking action!"
Two minelaying ships set out on the Blackwater River channel, and the Z-shaped circular anchor mines continued to slide to the sea. Those heavy guys splashed one after another on the sea.
Ordinary anchor mines are usually composed of mine bodies and thunder anchors. The thunder bodies are black and Se spheres, which are not easy to be found. The warhead is filled with N-strong explosives, while the structure of the thunder bodies is easily washed away by the navy. Generally, the thunder bodies must be fixed with thunder anchors and thunder cables.
Compared with the ordinary anchor mine, the fixed anchor mine has excellent concealment. The fixed anchor mine is not claimed by the fixed mine, but the caisson is composed of heavy objects such as stones and iron blocks, which is similar to a ship’s ballast stone chain hanging from the mine body. After the fixed anchor mine is released, it usually sinks to the bottom of the sea. When it is calculated by a mechanical timer, the caisson will automatically fall off and float when the fixed time is over.
In a short time, 300 time mines have been laid at the mouth of Blackwater River by the ghost Nautilus, the mine cruiser and the mine ship. These mines will quietly lurk at the bottom of the sea and the harbor will be busy at noon.
The Stall River at the northern end of Blackwater River has always been one of the most important waterways in Britain, and Harwich Port, which is located at the intersection of Stall River and Orwell River, is also the best harbor in Britain. There are Harwich Peninsula and Nixto Cape on the sea side, which has always been regarded by sailors as "the safest port of Humber River on Thames".
It’s best to make a submarine raid on a low freeboard on a moonlit night by patrolling two Haworth class destroyers near Nixto Point. I never thought that a class offshore mine-laying submarine would slowly cut into the Staur River by rubbing ednnel near the Greek Sea Road on the east side of Harich Peninsula.
Class-1 offshore mine-laying submarine The German submarine family is an out-and-out little guy. The surface displacement is less than 2 tons. Six mine-laying pipes can carry 12 mines. The endurance is 7 nautical miles and 5 knots.
Expedition to Britain is indeed difficult for short-legged submarines, but there is no better choice. By April 1915, the empire had built a total of 190 submarines, in addition to 24 submarines that had been sold, retired and sunk, 12 medium-sized submarines in the Mediterranean operation, nine ocean-going submarines in the North Atlantic and the Indian Ocean, and five ocean-going submarines in the submarine command, 33 medium-sized submarines, 12 B-class offshore submarines and five E-class submarines.
It is unprofessional and also a great wave to mine attack medium-sized submarines. There are E-class and E-class submarines which are specialized in mine laying. Five E-class ocean-going submarines will be in the Irish Sea on the west coast of England and the short range selected by the Admiralty of St George’s Strait.
In order to ensure that the submarine can complete the relay supply and escort of a supply ship and several support ships sent by the Navy Department, this decision was not taken seriously before the suffocation plan, but it was widely defined as "a stroke of genius" in the post-war summary.
The lighthouse rebuilt in Harwich Port is not far away. This lighthouse was destroyed by the large-caliber main gun of the West Lyme Fleet in the naval battle in Shazhou, Dogel. It was only repaired in January this year. Going forward is the main channel of Harwich Port, which has submarine sneak attack and main fleet shelling experience. Harwich Fleet’s home port and Harwich Port have a perfect anti-submarine and patrol system, but this can’t beat the submarine force.
Class-B mine-laying submarine enters semi-submersible state. The goal of the mine-laying suffocation plan for the central channel of Weiss Taur River in Harwich Port has never been the naval power of the British Empire, but the elimination of the British Empire’s Laisheng merchant ship!
In the same scene, England’s Cohen River, Crouch River, Heljing River Estuary and Walsh Bay, Firth Bay, Scotland, are repeated. These places are the eastern coastal areas of the British Empire, and the J and jīng China zone is often stormy. On this side of the North Sea, there are industrial regions and cities such as Harwich Military Port, Colchester, Ipswich, Malden, Felixstowe, Boston and Edinburgh, and more than 20 submarines are also lurking there.
Gorgeous dividing line
"At about 3: 12, patrol boat 234 of Harriet Fleet found the bait, and there was an exchange of fire between the two sides of the German submarine!"
At 3: 34 in the morning, Scarpa Bay Grand Fleet Command yawned, and the duty reporter in the naval newspaper room put a cup of bitter coffee to cheer up J Ο ng to translate a group of codes just recorded.
"Encounter a submarine? Let the Royal Navy become a laughing stock. Harriet Fleet, is this unbearable loneliness and lying about the military situation again? "
After the decisive battle in the North Sea, the British soil has been shocked. Every day, coastal residents move to the land. Almost every day, the big fleet receives a report of several kilograms to calculate the "discovery of German landing fleet and submarine". Just a few times, the big fleet also mobilized urgently. After a month passed, the North Sea was safe, and the big fleet understood the panic degree of those coastal watchtowers and temporary militia.
The reporter was not surprised by the report of finding the submarine. He buried himself in sorrow and continued to translate.
"At 3: 35, Harriet’s fleet was surrounded by four patrol boats, one light patrol boat, nine destroyers and four patrol boats against the German submarine exhibition. The fleet was attacked by two former dreaded ships, two light cruisers and four destroyers!"
"gone?" The reporter realized that Harriet’s fleet newspaper was vague and stunned for a few seconds before he suddenly reacted in panic, moved his chair and grabbed the newspaper and stumbled towards the staff room on duty at the headquarters.
"Oh, my God, the Germans are calling!" to be continued
Is the Thames or Scarpa Bay the fourth chapter of the second gun?
At 3: 10 in the morning, a 50-ton patrol boat, which was refitted from trawler and equipped with 4 mm cannon and powerful searchlight, was cruising towards the mouth of the Staur River!
"Jane, what’s that?"
Searchlight shines from the main mast of the patrol boat, and the dazzling light passes over the far corner of the main channel of the Stahl River. After a short pause, Hardy, a sailor who just wore a military uniform, grabbed his telescope and pulled it. Sergeant Jane Austen asked in a trembling voice.
"Hardy, don’t worry, it’s just some floating objects!"
The royal navy has been involved in seven seas for hundreds of years, but it does not show the powerful shipbuilding industry, huge capital ships and light ships, but rather shows the naval mobilization and war damage supplement in the state of war.
Before the outbreak of the European War, the Royal Navy formulated a core mobilization mechanism, that is, to keep a small J Ι ng reserve fleet composed of sealed warships and core crew.
Every year, the Royal Navy retires a large number of warships and officers and men. The core mobilization mechanism is that some of the retired warships are selected, and some of them are in good working condition and still have potential for excavation. They are compiled and sealed in some secret dry docks, and they are equipped with a small number of core officers and technical sailors. According to the feasible mobilization mechanism, once the war breaks out, the re-commissioned warships will soon recover their combat effectiveness.
Patrol boat No.234 is not in the core mobilization plan, but in the "124 Charter". In order to strengthen the offshore defense and patrol power and ensure the military transportation of the British Empire Sea, Iraq recruited a group of trawlers and merchant ships and converted them into multi-way patrol boats, notorious Q ships and military transport ships.
