When the British declared war on Germany because of the invasion in Belgium- pretence or not- this theory had crumbled to dust and the millions spent on the "High Seas Fleet" had been wasted for nothing. Despite the big number of men in the army or as trained reserves -

Germany had a conscript army and navy- the German land forces were unable to fulfil the expectaions of a war to be fought against France and Russia simultanously. Frankly speeking: the war was lost on August 1914

Tirpitz's concept was to build a fleet with powerful artillery and heavy armour cladding that would be invulnerable, though limited in its range, as these qualities were to be paid for with small coal bunkers.

Only the smaller cruisers were able to patrol worldwide and serve as a protection for the shipping routes to the scattered colonies. The idea was that Britain would either attack the German fleet in the North Sea or abstain form any war with Germany for fear of loosing its fleet.
