Brest Shipyard, General Winter spread out the nautical chart to explain to Shire the difficulties currently facing the Royal Navy.
"After the outbreak of war, we made some adjustments to our blockade strategy against the German Army." General Winter pointed at Helgoland Bay, saying, "Before the war, we imposed a close blockade, but after the war, we switched to a distant blockade, with our main forces fully withdrawn to the north."
(The image above shows the position of Helgoland Island, with Helgoland Bay to the east of the island, which is Germany's most important outlet.)
Shire nodded, this approach was very wise.
Although the Royal Navy is much stronger than the German Navy, implementing a close blockade near German waters was still challenging or extremely uneconomical.
