And if someone opens the perspective of God at this time, then it can be clearly seen that the plan that Jericho has painstakingly designed has been flawed up to now. Maybe Target 2 deceived Crown Prince Ruprecht, maybe also I deceived Earl Spey, but faced with these all-pervasive submarines, the British plan has a loophole that is difficult to make up. The system composed of submarines, naval headquarters and fleet makes the German Navy's perception stronger than ever! Therefore, what Denitz did can be regarded as a victory of the system. Of course, the British plan is not a complete failure. At least for now, Target 1 is still operating, and the position of the Jericho fleet is not exposed. !
When Dunnitz sent the telegram again, nearly half of the night had passed in less than six hours. At this time, on the other side of the battlefield, Earl Spey was silent with the telegram from the High Seas Fleet that he had received before. , He now has to make a very important decision!
For two days, Earl Spey was thinking about how the battle should start the war. Last morning, Ruprecht sent a telegram to ask Earl Spey to keep an eye on the Thomas fleet. After a whole day of confrontation, Earl Spey could clearly feel that Thomas Fleet did not want to touch him. As the main fleets of both sides got closer and closer, the battle was about to start. Therefore, he was born aggressive and acted as The commander who is best at night combat in the entire Confederate navy, Earl Spey has a very bold idea-what if I take down the Thomas fleet tonight?
The earl carefully compared the combat effectiveness of the two sides. The number of battleships is 8V7, and the aircraft carrier is not to be mentioned. This thing is not used at night. He can be regarded as 8 Helgoland-class fast battleships. The caliber of the guns is comparable to that of the opposite queen. Smaller, but better armor protection. The 6 queens on the opposite side are indeed powerful, but it’s a bit embarrassing to bring an outdated Tiger battlecruiser. This is also a hidden danger. If the Tiger is killed by a spike at the beginning, then Two of the queens are about to hit two! In this case, a series of chain reactions are likely to occur.
Through aerial reconnaissance, the earl found that the number of British auxiliary battleships was not large. Generally speaking, from the standpoint of the hardware level, the earl felt that he had a slight advantage, but if considering the tactical level, the earl believed that his subordinates were fighting at night. In terms of surpassing his opponent, don’t look at the calculations made by Thomas in the Dover Channel by Earl Spey, but Earl Spey was not convinced, and this time, Earl Spey believed that God gave him a way to break the past. Opportunity for hatred! This time the two sides are evenly matched, and Earl Spey is confident to win the opponent. So Earl Spey sent a telegram to Ruprecht, wanting permission!
Facing the Earl of Spey, Ruprecht thought it was feasible. After all, tomorrow is the time for a decisive battle. The German High Seas Fleet can reach a maximum speed of close to 25 knots, while the British Fleet’s maximum speed does not exceed 20 knots. The fleet has a speed advantage of 5 knots! If the Spey fleet can bite the Thomas fleet, then the battle between the high seas fleet and the main force of the large fleet will become a fast fleet against a slow fleet, and the number will not suffer! How to look at it is also an advantage! Even if the Spey fleet suffers a bit of luck or other factors, after the fight is over, the Thomas fleet will definitely not be able to support the large fleet anymore! Therefore, in addition to the emphasis on avoiding the large fleet in Ruprecht's reply to Earl Spey, he can let him take the initiative!
However, before that, the earl thought he was fully prepared, but there was one thing that made the earl dare not go down, that is, a radio signal source of a suspected large fleet was moving westward, although slow, but undoubtedly drawing closer. In the radio monitoring tonight, the Thomas Fleet’s signal was fairly regular and maintained a similar course as before, but the large fleet seems to have a close trend? This made Earl Spey a little hesitant. He was very worried that when he was beating Thomas's fleet, the big fleet would outflank him, so he would play big. The earl kept hesitating and thinking until he received a telegram from Dunnitz! The latter vowed to be sure, this is a false signal!
After no worries, Earl Spey decisively decided to go up A. At this time, the Earl’s fleet was close to a place less than 20 nautical miles from the signal source of Thomas’s fleet. According to previous predictions, the opponent seemed to be traveling at a speed of 18 knots per hour. Heading northeast, after the staff re-planned the route, the Spey fleet rushed towards the target at a speed of more than 24 knots. If nothing else, they would incorporate the opponent into their guns in 1 hour. Within range!
"Send a seaplane, we need to check the surrounding situation." Earl Spey always feels a little uneasy in his heart. This intuitive thing is a little vague, but sometimes it is accurate, so the Earl decided to send the seaplane first as usual. Take a walk! As for how the seaplane comes back at night? It's not easy It's less than 3 hours before dawn. If it doesn't work, just make an emergency landing on the water and find a destroyer to recover personnel. In the case of an airplane, if it doesn't work, I throw it away...
So what exactly is Earl Spey facing now? Naturally, it cannot be the real Thomas Fleet. The latter had already traveled to the predetermined area and the Jericho Fleet to rendezvous shortly after nightfall, and now it was the target number 1. Target No. 1 fulfilled its responsibility perfectly-from a radio point of view, it perfectly simulated the Thomas Fleet signal, and even the above-mentioned transmitter's methods were simulated by the Thomas Fleet! It can be said that so far, Earl Spey still thinks that he is facing the Thomas fleet!
But this lie doesn't seem to last long, because at this time, Earl Spey's reconnaissance plane has already arrived! However, the distance of only 20 nautical miles is only 38 kilometers at full scale. Considering the problem of heading and angle, the seaplane taking off from the battleship can fly over the target in half an hour, and at this time, the other party sent another report, which is even more revealing. His exact location.
"The last time the British decoy was reported was only 5 kilometers away from us! At this time, it was only two hours away from dawn!" A German pilot who participated in the reconnaissance operation recalled after the war!
