Chapter 2206： Intermission Three

"His Royal Highness, Earl Spey’s battle report, just this afternoon, we further consolidated the empire’s dominant position in this battle. The British lost more than 60 carrier-based aircraft, although their actual scale exceeded our estimates. , But even with the most optimistic estimates of the British, it is difficult for them to have a greater impact on the main force of the High Seas Fleet.” Admiral Scheer said after sending a telegram to Ruprecht.

At this time, under the cover of night, the German High Seas Fleet had already crossed the Shetland Islands, leaving behind the last airport deployed by the British in the North Sea. From now on, the German Fleet has entered the vulnerable zone of the British Grand Fleet. Relying on the K8 fleet departing from northern Norway, the German High Seas Fleet can gain a certain detection advantage. Of course, you have to count on how much output these aircraft have in the Norwegian Sea, which is still somewhat difficult. However, judging from the current situation, everything is carried out according to the plan of the crown prince, and the German fleet now has the best combat situation.

"Schel, what do you think the British fleet should do next?" Ruprecht asked suddenly. For the current German fleet, there are only two remaining goals. The first is naturally to continue to rendezvous with the Spey fleet, and the second is to kill the large fleet after confluence. On the surface, the two German fleets that have entered the weakened area of ​​the British Navy only need to enter the fixed meeting point according to the preset plan.

The remaining thing is to hide itself as much as possible. Therefore, now the High Seas Fleet generally minimizes radio transmissions and mainly receives radio. Unlike the Spey Fleet's reconnaissance, which relies on its own aircraft to search for intelligence, it depends on fleet navigation. It mainly relies on the long-range reconnaissance aircraft deployed in Norway, and the navigation and telegraph forwarding also rely on land base stations. Although it is not foolproof, but after all, it has achieved its best state!

"This, we already have a considerable advantage. In the daytime, we can completely avoid the large fleet, or even rely on reconnaissance advantages to detour. Unless we happen to collide with the large fleet at dawn, we Have the right to refuse to fight."

"The British can naturally continue to stare at the Spey fleet. It is true that Spey cannot be caught, but it can still be blocked. This will make it more difficult for us to converge, but if appropriate, we can start from two at the same time. The direction is to double-team the big fleet. If the distance is controlled well, the British blockade may become a noose around his neck." Admiral Scheer said. In his opinion, it seems that the British have no good choices. They either choose to fight under extremely unfavorable circumstances, or they return to the British mainland and then fail by default.

"Send a telegram so that the Earl can enter the scheduled meeting point no earlier than 3 hours before the scheduled time, pay attention to hiding his whereabouts, and at the same time keep an eye on the British fleet and tell the Earl of Spey that he does not need to know the British The position of the fleet, but he must know the position of Thomas' fleet." Ruprecht thought for a while and said.

"Do you think the British might divide their forces?" Admiral Scheer asked.

"At this stage, the troops may be divided, but in the final battle, the soldiers will definitely be united. Our overall strength is better than the British. If the Spey Fleet cannot join the main force of the High Seas Fleet before the final battle, then We must at least let the Spey fleet keep an eye on part of the British fleet!" Ruprecht thought for a while and said.

"If the two sides keep in contact, the pressure may be a little bit heavy for the earl. Thomas and Betty's fleet are now together. The main detection methods of both sides are aircraft and radio sideways. If the aircraft is detected, they may be attacked by the opponent's fighters. Intercept and disperse. Maybe a few days later, this kind of investigation will make the earl's available aircraft drop to a very low level." Admiral Scheer thought for a while.

"No more than 3 days! The war in Europe is about to come to an end. At this time, we must not back down and be prepared to bear heavy losses! I request that tomorrow, the Spey fleet cannot be more than 30 nautical miles away from the British fleet! You must keep an eye on the opponent, unless Thomas's fleet and Jericho's team converge, otherwise, Spey's team must be like a lion ready to prey to put pressure on Thomas." Ruprecht emphasized again.

"Are you going to let the Earl and Thomas Fleet fight, and then we bite the main force of the British fleet?" Sher seemed to understand what the crown prince meant. If the rendezvous is a bit difficult, then it is better to force the opponent to divide into a decisive battle, Earl Spey’s fleet. Although it is weaker than Thomas's and Betty's fleet, it is not impossible to fight. After all, if it is the time of battle, how much air force Betty can leave Thomas is still unknown, because he must first ensure the air defense mission of the large fleet. The two sides are 8V7, and the British may have a slight advantage in quality. But in a short time, there is no way to tell the winner, and the High Seas Fleet is not too easy to deal with the large fleet without fast battleships!

"Perhaps, we have formed a situation of encirclement and have advantages, but the British can also choose whether to separate against the enemy or be attacked by us. The most worrying thing is when the British finally chooses to fight one of our fleets~www .novelhall.com~The other fleet cannot help. This will make our advantage very small.” Ruprecht said.

"However, we have a reconnaissance advantage. In the daytime, the entire theater is one-way transparent to us." Scheer did not understand what the crown prince was worried about. After all, the German fleet could choose whether to engage or not.

"So there is only one problem, and that is, at dawn, the sun cuts through the darkness, but one of our fleets has been bitten by the large fleet. This is the only opportunity for the British, and I am most worried about it. "The crown prince said.

"The earl may be a little dangerous, after all, if you get too close during the day, if the British bet in the right direction at night, the earl will be very passive." Admiral Scheer said.

"No, he is not too dangerous. The Spey fleet is small and it is easy to hide himself at night. As long as you are more cautious, it shouldn't matter. Will the British choose to attack us at the last moment? This question is worth considering "After that, Ruprecht fell into contemplation. He had a hunch that the British fleet would not sit back and watch the result of being flanked, and the British must also have a hole card to realize this plan!

"Attack us? I don't think Jericho has this reason." Scheer said.

"If they can't find Spey, then attacking us is the only option." the crown prince said.
