Chapter 2162： Jericho's decision

"If the Germans are lucky and take advantage of bad weather and night cover, they will have at least more than 10 hours to cross the blockade. At a speed of 20 knots per hour, they will be in this period of time. At least it can travel more than 200 nautical miles. If the high seas fleet accepts it, then the situation will be very bad." Lieutenant General Betty said.

"If this happens, as long as the fleet can sail, then the large fleet will go all out! I will never allow the Earl of Spey's fleet to return to Wilhelmshaven or Kiel Harbor all the way! This is for the large fleet. It is fatal and unacceptable! For this reason, I would rather fight the Germans in a fleet battle!" Jericho said decisively!

Jericho is cautious, but at the critical moment, Jericho's head is still iron enough! He knows when to go. When do you need to work hard. If he had received information about the German fleet bombarding a certain southern port, Jericho would probably choose to keep the fleet at home, but if he received news of the Spey fleet entering the North Sea, then even Jericho knew about Germany. The High Seas Fleet will arrange to respond, and he will definitely lead the main force of the large fleet to pull teeth! Kill the Spey fleet before the German fleet converges,

"Is it too dangerous to do this?" Lieutenant General Duff said: "The Germans will definitely choose the most suitable route for the response. The battlefield where the two meet may be very unfavorable for us. For example, the German fleet may start from Skag. As the Strait of Lak enters the North Sea, Denmark has actually been on the side of the Germans. The Luftwaffe may use the Danish base. In this case, the Luftwaffe’s strike range will be greatly expanded to the north. There, our large fleet cannot get land. The support of the base aviation force."

"That's the last chance. The German fleet from afar has suffered huge losses. Their speed, ship conditions, and personnel conditions are the worst, and they are also separated from the main fleet. We have the hope of hitting the Spey fleet at a relatively small cost. . But if they merge with the high seas fleet, the power of the high seas fleet will directly surpass that of the large fleet. At that time, our arithmetic will be very low. The small number of aircraft carriers we have will not be a threat to such a large fleet, maybe A single avant-garde fleet of the High Seas Fleet may have more than 10 capital ships, which is beyond our ability to strike." Jericho remained determined.

"I am now worried about a question. If Denmark is already on the side of the Germans, will Norway also choose to join the Germans? After all, the Germans have too much advantage now." At this moment, I have been silent. Said Lieutenant General Charles Madden, Chief of Staff of the Fleet. "If the Germans convince Norway and have enough time to deploy, the German land-based air force can directly extend from the Skagerrak Strait to the North Sea! In this way, the German land-based air force can be deployed. An air corridor has been opened up on the east side of the North Sea. All our land-based aviation forces cannot pose a threat to the German fleet in Norway, and our fleet must not be able to fight the Germans in this area!"

"I am also worried about this, and from the current situation, Norway is very likely to succumb." Jericho let out a sigh, and then, after appearing to have made a lot of determination, said: "So, if necessary, I Will choose to conduct a night battle to solve the Spey fleet!"

"Hold the grass! The boss is crazy, right?" A small half of the people in the venue were shocked. They could understand Jericho's desperate courage and mood, but command the large fleet and the Spey fleet to fight the night battle? This is too much courage, after all, there are too many accidents that may happen in the night battle. And how to find opponents at night? Intercept the opponent?

"I know that many of you will question my decision and even think that I have a problem with my head, but my brain has never been so clear as it is now. I have deduced the actions of the Germans. If they send the main fleet to respond, then There will be frequent radio communication between the two fleets, and according to our radio monitoring equipment in Iceland and northern Britain, the approximate location of each other can be determined. The German fleet is huge, and they will definitely bring supply ships when they travel far. In this case, the light control will not be particularly good. After all, you can't expect the level of the temporarily recruited crew members. Therefore, we found that the other party is possible."

"Secondly, the number of **** warships of the Allied Mediterranean Fleet is scarce. I do not believe that the destroyers of the Austro-Hungarian Empire can accompany the main fleet to cross the half of the Atlantic Ocean. Therefore, we do not have to worry about the night lightning strikes of our opponents. On the contrary, at night, our destroyers and The light cruiser squadron can play a greater role, as long as we can bite them, or even drive them off the scheduled route, then we have a chance to eat them in the daytime operations that follow!" Jericho said.

"If this is the case, then our battlefield may not be in the North Sea but in the Norwegian Sea! After all, when we are attacking the Spey Fleet, it is best to keep enough with the German High Seas Fleet. Safe distance." Lieutenant General Madden said.

"Yes, this time we are going to take the initiative. We will no longer be jailers in the North Sea. Instead, we will become an ocean-going fleet fighting in the ocean again! Our camouflage reconnaissance ship will follow the German fleet and they will inform us of our opponents. We will also choose the right time to take the initiative to attack. The air force of the Shetland Islands will provide us with reconnaissance and support assistance.” Jericho said firmly.

Jericho's level is still strong enough. This plan seems bold, but it is actually very safe. Choosing to intercept the Spey Fleet in the Norwegian Sea is equivalent to moving the battlefield hundreds of kilometers to the north, which allows the British Fleet to avoid it. The possibility of encountering the German High Seas Fleet. And if you only need to face the Spey fleet to intercept in the Norwegian Sea, then Britain is actually invincible! Unless the German High Seas Fleet also exits the North Sea into the Norwegian Sea, Jericho's plan is very safe.

At the same time, because of the existence of air bases in the mainland and the Shetland Islands, these land-based aircraft also formed a cover belt and reconnaissance network for the large fleet. The British fleet avoided the possibility of an attack by the German Norwegian Air Force in the east, but moved the battlefield west! In this case, the British fleet can be safely evacuated when it retreats, and it can intercept the Spey fleet passing through the Norwegian Sea. This is another reason why Jericho wants to resume the deployment of the Shetland Islands air fleet!
