Hoffmann received the news at 9:00 a.m. and 8 hours later. It was not that Redell intended to neglect him, but that the Navy Command had obtained authorization in advance. Once the report of the Zeppelin aircraft carrier is ready and weather permitted, the tsunami operation can be launched at any time.

Now Hoffmann's desk is covered with thick stacks of documents, all of which are related to the details of the tsunami plan and the response strategies that can be adopted by the Navy Staff. These plans are completely different from each other. Now British spies have taken this document in a big way, because there is no way to take precise targeted response measures. The Navy Command's action plan will of course not adopt the classification methods of the Western, Central, Eastern and North Sea lines in the British population. Instead, the main characteristics of the separate breaking of the intercourse, joint breaking of the intercourse, and comprehensive battles, and the cancellation of the operation are summarized into four categories: a, b, c, and d. The plan is divided into plans 1, 2 according to the operating guide. The most comprehensive battle plan number is ranked 14, and the least D-class operation has 5. All action plans implement the fine, complex, comprehensive and logical aspects of the German affairs system to the extreme.

In order to keep the most confidentiality and avoid interfering with the judgment of the front-line commanders, all the action plans are only in the hands of a few staff officers. Before the ship was set off, he hurriedly sent a special person to escort the ship. The reason why the Tilpitz had to go to the dock to resupply was to accept the latest combat plan. In addition to the plan, the telegram cipher and processing method were also replaced with a brand new system. As the flagship "Earl Zeppelin" set off with the flagship "Earl Zeppelin", the Japanese advisory team also saw a complete set of plans. Ozawa Shisaburo, who enjoyed the treatment and command authority of the German lieutenant general, widened his eyes and asked the front-line commander of the "Tsunami Operation": "This is how the German Navy commanded the war?"

Mashar scratched his scalp embarrassedly: "It wasn't before, but now it's getting more and more like this."

"Who did you learn this from? With the Army?"

The German Army was the world's number one, and the German Navy was the fifth in the world, so it was no shame to admit it and learn from the army. Maschel quickly admitted it. He explained: "This time he landed in North Africa, Marshal Rommel formulated 17 plans in advance, taking into account all the details and elements of the details, and finally it was not bad to implement. The head of state appreciated it very much, and the Supreme Command suggested that we learn, and then..."

Ozawa shook his head with a wry smile: "Even if you learn the successful experience of the Army, Marshal Rommel has only 17 sets of plans in total, and you have 36 sets. Will there really be no problem doing this?"

"This..." Mashar was speechless and asked Ozawa, "How should the Japanese Navy command?"

"We will generally form 1-3 sets of main plans initially, then comprehensively refine them, and finally implement them deeply."

"What about situations other than the plan?"

"It will be temporarily decided by the front-line chief." Ozawa said embarrassedly after thinking about it, "In fact, the staff members make suggestions, and then the chief members consider whether to implement and how to implement it. Generally speaking, if the staff members agree, the chief will not object."

In fact, Ozawa did not say clearly that most of the fleet commanders in the Japanese Navy who served as chief officers rely on staff to formulate combat plans. Not only that, people like Ozawa who can formulate combat plans on their own without staff, but also rare.

Now it was Mashar's turn to stare at him: "A few advisers decided on the matter of changing the plan such an important matter?"

Ozawa always felt that something was wrong with this problem, but he nodded subconsciously: "The staff are all professional talents, the ocean is so vast, and the enemy situation is fleeting. If you rely on the headquarters or headquarters to discuss and make decisions, I'm afraid..."

After hearing this, Mashar said nothing, but signaled the staff to take out a chart book, which was densely divided into small squares with grids. Ozawa glanced at it and then withdrew his gaze: "I know this is the positioning map used by your country's submarine force."

"But this map is not static. Every 6 months, it will be adjusted and redistributed. Moreover, the encoding is irregular. A7 and A8 are not adjacent squares. They may be separated by thousands of nautical miles. The wolf pack relies on such charts to conduct joint anti-submarine. Before receiving the instructions, they don't even know what they will encounter. Only the headquarters can grasp the entire situation."

"What do you mean?"

"The Head of State believes that the German Navy does not have a very clever commander or commander, nor does it have a particularly outstanding command art. Therefore, do not want to win a surprise or turn the tide. We should follow the plan honestly. Instead of placing our hopes on the commander's inspiration, it is better to accept the headquarters dispatch steadily. This is the result of collective wisdom."

Ozawa knows what it means to "accept headquarters dispatch" in Germany. The German affairs operation has always adopted a goal-oriented system. The superiors generally only give important node control and overall goals. The specific implementation of the goal requires the wisdom of commanders at all levels. Therefore, the German troops, especially the army, have strong initiative and have received a complete military education, and once the battalion-level officers lose contact with the superiors, they will not be at a loss when they lose contact with the superiors. On the contrary, they will seek reasonable solutions for their troops based on the target and current strength to the greatest extent. This is very obvious in the Soviet war. The resistance of the Soviet troops is very tenacious when they are surrounded, but once the central command organ is destroyed, the remaining troops will not know what to do. Once the German troops are divided and surrounded, they will immediately form small battle groups to continue fighting.

To put it further, this topic is the issue of joint combat. As for how to better coordinate the frontline and headquarters, everyone felt that they could not come up with a perfect solution. Only Hoffman saw it very clearly that he was constrained by reconnaissance and communication capabilities, World War II could only fight to this extent. If it was his original era, under the premise of satellites on the zenith and early warning aircraft on his head, it would be completely impossible to carry out clever troop hiding and tactical planning like the Battle of Midway. He told the senior officers of the Supreme Command and the General Staff of the Third Army about his understanding of the future development model of war, the purpose was only to inspire everyone. Although many people were skeptical, no one thought it was completely impossible. Germany's political line and war pattern were clearly depicted by the Head of State in "My Struggle" in the 1920s.

However, Hoffmann didn't expect that one day these guys would put 36 sets of plans on his desk in one go. At the beginning, the Admiralty made a tsunami plan was not so complicated. In recent days, he has been working hard on the issues of Malta and Gibraltar. In addition, he is not a naval expert, so he ignored these aspects.

"You are so amazing!" Faced with the eager expectations of Redel and Flick, he sighed helplessly, "Do you need to praise you for the hard work of all the staff in the Navy Command?" When he said this, he thought silently in his mind: Multiple plans and multi-army joint warfare will be used to evolve and promote the C3i system and large computers. The group of ignorant staff members of the Navy, who are ignorant, want to rely on the human brain and that pitiful communication ability to work, and he doesn't know how to evaluate it. At this moment, he was very optimistic about the prospects of the "tsunami plan".

Redel and Frick looked at each other. Of course they could hear the irony in Hoffman's mouth. However, the head of state praised Marshal Rommel's perfect plan not long ago. Why are they now provoking the navy's plan? The battle has not started yet! Does the head of state have prejudice against the navy? Now they don't think that the army corporals don't understand the navy anymore.

"You guys, hey..." Hoffman explained with a deep regret, "It depends on the time and occasion. How big is Marshal Rommel's combat area? How much is his target and control range? Can this be compared with the navy? Not to mention anything else, sending a newspaper on Crete, I dare say that the telegram will be collected. If it is not received or there are other problems, I will send a plane over and check it out. What should I do if the telegram system fails when performing a mission in the depths of the Atlantic Ocean? Where can I send a plane to check your landing point? What should I do if the weather is not good and I can't send a plane?"

"What should I do now? The action plan was cancelled?" The two of them became nervous: this operation almost pushed up all the German Navy's surface ships' possessions, and if there was any mistake, it would be all over.

"The action cannot be cancelled. Now is the weakest moment for the Royal Navy, and we must seize this favorable opportunity." Hoffman thought about it, "First follow your plan, and report it to me immediately when a situation exceeds the plan's expectations occurs, so that the Supreme Command will participate in the battle decision-making together, and do not interfere with the command of the frontline commander as much as possible."

"yes."

"Have all the officers drawn by the Japanese Navy been on board?"

"After boarding the ship, the aircraft carrier officers and staff officers were arranged on the Earl Zeppelin, while the rest were mainly arranged on the Schánhorst, Seedlitz and Prince Eugen."

"We have formed a separate Japanese advisory team. We sent several capable officers to tell them the battlefield situation, operate independently and formulate plans as a reference for decision-making. The two sides immediately implement the opinions of the two sides, and seek opinions from the base camp when there are differences. If even the base camp cannot make a perfect judgment, or if it is a particularly urgent situation, the final decision will be made by the three generals Mashar, Richterhofen and Ozawa after coordination." Hoffman explained, "Although the command level of the Japanese Navy is not the best, it is still a little smarter than us, and it is completely qualified as a reference for decision-making."

Redell and Frick immediately agreed after looking at each other.

"I'll tell you one thing at last." Hoffman said gritting his teeth, "It's not the end of the world if you lose. There are no ever-winning generals in the world. Britain and the United States have lost so many ships in the Indian Ocean. It's normal for us to lose some. New warships are about to start construction one after another, so that every naval officer and soldier cherish their lives. We will have a time to start over." (To be continued.)
