Chapter 2194： Black under the lamp

"So, maybe this is our chance?" Ruprecht said thoughtfully. "We can imagine what would happen if Earl Spey’s fleet entered this triangle and then suddenly disappeared at night under the cover of night?"

"As long as the earl is still in this area, it is still very likely to be caught during the day." Admiral Scheer said.

"But what if the Spey fleet rushes out of this area?" Ruprecht said.

"Out of this area, then the Spey fleet will be farther and farther away from us, because the earl can only move north to get rid of tracking." Admiral Hipper said.

"What about that? Anyway, we have time. After the Earl entered the triangle area and was discovered by the British, he turned to the north and entered the vulnerable area monitored by the British, disappearing from the eyes of the British navy, and at the same time, because the British wanted to intercept The Spey fleet, so they must be in this triangle area or close to it, and at this time, we can enter the Norwegian Sea smoothly! This avoids the possibility of night battles with the large fleet!"

"If we are in an area where the British control is weak, we actually have an advantage, because we deploy most of the submarines in the Norwegian Sea, while the British are deployed in the North Sea! Together with the Norwegian air station, we are aware of the battle. There is an advantage over the air! But it is difficult for the British Air Force and Iceland Air Force to take care of such a large area!" Ruprecht said excitedly.

"So, by taking a northbound route, the Spey fleet can temporarily avoid the British fleet's tracking and cover our two strategic goals, but we only lose some time. But we have Can fight in the place that suits us best? This idea is very genius!" Hipper also immediately understood the joints and exclaimed sincerely!

This is the so-called black under the lights. The British did not focus on deployment in other waters in Norway. They thought it was too far away from the North Sea. The Germans would not detour and then turn to the North Sea. As for the fact that the British did not expect the German fleet to take the Danish Strait, Ruprecht believed that the British should have thought of it, and should be able to respond, on the one hand, because the air station in Iceland can take care of the direction of the Danish Strait. In fact, the Danish Strait seems very wide, but considering the ice floes and icebergs close to the North Pole, the road is not too wide. And if the Spey fleet really goes through the Danish Strait, the British fleet can still choose to fight the Germans at night in the North Sea.

As for the British people's confidence in finding the German fleet? It is estimated that it is radiolocation and the large number of submarines deployed in the North Sea. That is to say, the geographical advantage of the United Kingdom can seize at least one of the fleets, but now, if Ruprecht’s plan is successful, the Spey fleet will be short-lived. Exposing, attracting the attention of the British fleet, and then using the night to escape to places that the British never expected, while at the same time restraining the attention of the British army, so that the German high seas fleet can enter the Norwegian Sea safely, then the British result is a bamboo basket Nothing! I missed both! And to the northern part of the Norwegian Sea, that is the dominant area of ​​the German Navy! Surprised? Was it unexpected?

As for, if the Spey fleet is exposed, can the British be thrown away? This probability is still very high. First of all, the British fleet cannot completely hide its whereabouts. Just like the British can monitor off the coast of Germany, German submarines and long-range patrol aircraft deployed in the Norwegian Sea and the British coast can also attack the United Kingdom. The large fleet is monitored. The approximate location of the large fleet can be found, so the Spey fleet can maintain a proper distance from the large fleet by collecting intelligence when it is not forcibly passing through the triangle area. Maybe the British reconnaissance plane can spot the Spey fleet, but so what? With the aid of the USS Independence, as long as the British cannot continue to guide them, they will seize the Earl’s fleet. Even if there is guidance, even the first wave of torpedo planes will come, the fighter unit on Independence will have a fighting force. If it enters the triangle area at a stuck time, it can also temporarily disappear from the eyes of the British under the cover of night.

For the British, as long as they can catch the Spey fleet, they will not find trouble with the German High Seas Fleet. Although the British fleet has a better chance of winning in the night battle, the Germans can not fight you! Compared with the tactical flexibility of the High Seas Fleet, the Spey Fleet is less flexible. The High Seas Fleet will eventually return to the German seas first, while the Spey Fleet does not have a reliable port for protection and supply. Therefore, there is no reason for the British to let the Spey Fleet, which can be targeted and easily wiped out, not to fight, and must be entangled with the High Seas Fleet!

"If there is no problem, then act. We confirm the meeting point and timetable with the count." Ruprecht said at last, and when Scheer and Hipper agreed, the whole plan was finalized. .

In order to minimize the radio contact during the war Ruprecht finally chose the method of preset meeting point to confirm the route of both sides. At the same time, the telegram discussed how to deal with an accident. In the next 8 hours, the two sides conducted many radio communications, and individual telegrams even reached more than 2,000 words! And there is no doubt that such a long radio contact naturally attracted the attention of the British, although they could not decipher the content of the telegram at all!

"The Germans are about to act, order the large fleet and affiliated units to be ready to set sail at any time." Jericho immediately issued the order after receiving the news. Two hours later, the British fleet left Forth Bay. Sail north, then enter the Norwegian Sea from the strait between the Orkney Islands and the British mainland.

"We are about to start the largest naval battle in history, isn't it?" Sims said excitedly on the Spey Fleet's flagship Joint Force.

"Yes, we will create history together and witness the glory." Earl Spey said after closing the telegram.

"Order the fleet to prepare to recalibrate the course. At 12 o'clock tomorrow, we will cross the red line and proceed according to the plan of His Royal Highness." Earl Spey gave the order.

Then a fleet consisting of 8 fast battleships, 1 aircraft carrier and 24 destroyers (12 German and American destroyers) began to head towards the Norwegian Sea. As a result, the naval battle in the Norwegian Sea that shocked the world finally kicked off, and the first round of games between the two sides officially began.
