Another general was Admiral Reinhardt Scheer, commander of the German Ocean Fleet, his voice full of frustration:
"Your Majesty, our warships are blockaded in the port by the Royal Navy, making it difficult for us to take action."
"On the other hand, Shire has invented some kind of equipment. The French warships seem to be able to detect underwater submarines, which undermines our strategy of using submarines to block enemy supply lines."

William II adjusted his posture to face Admiral Scheer more comfortably: "General, it is precisely because of the failure of the submarine warfare that I am considering the navy."
Scheer understood what William II meant.
If there was a possibility of victory on land or in submarines, William II would not resort to the navy.
The strength of the German Navy was far inferior to that of the Royal Navy, so much so that victory seemed almost impossible.
