Chapter 2253： Do what you have at hand first

Well, the number of battleships that can be dispatched will be reduced, and this problem can't be solved by money, because the construction period of battleships is so long. After the end of the war, the United States has lost its biggest bargaining chip. Why do people make the Germans willing to support the United States at the risk of reducing the domestic fleet? There are only US dollars and hard currency!

This is what the so-called strange goods can live! The scarcity of goods causes the price to rise. Simple economic principle? If you count the warships that need to be repaired, it will be even better. It can directly delay the outbreak of the Pacific War. After all, a ship can be repaired for a week or a year... When will it be repaired? On the one hand, it depends on the loss and the arrangements made by Germany. On the other hand, it depends on whether the "sincerity" of the Americans has arrived... Isn't Taft a belief in the power of money? You have the ability to help me pay the ship repair fee!

And the most important thing in this matter is not the issue of warship repairs, but the delay of time * The longer the war time is delayed, the more beneficial it is for Japan, because after the European War, the British no longer need armaments, and the delay time, It just gave the British the opportunity and time to transfer their arms to the Japanese...♀Naturally means that the Americans need to pay a higher price to kill the Japanese!

It won't work, it can't go on like this, Crown Prince Ruprecht feels that he is too black!

After thinking about these things, the orders and telegrams that should be issued were also sent, so now it’s time to prepare for the end. The two Vengeance-class battleships that remained after the break did not turn out any waves under the crush of absolute power. The Royal Oak was quickly destroyed, and the Vengeance signaled to abandon the ship before sinking!

In fact, in the final stage of the battle, there were no more British warships around to accompany the last two British warships. After the abandonment signal was issued, the German fox was required to help the British clean up the mess. They have already won the battle. There is no need to kill all the people in the water.

"Your Highness, a plain text from the British." Admiral Scheer said.

"What's the matter?" Ruprecht asked curiously.

"They asked us to help transfer the body of Admiral Jericho, commander of the British Grand Fleet," Scheer said.

"Jerico was killed?" Ruprecht asked.

"Said it was killed in action, but it feels like suicide." Admiral Scheer said.

"So that's how it is." Ruprechte said with a sigh. In fact, this result is unexpected, but it is reasonable. After such a big defeat, someone will always be backed up, and Jericho will undoubtedly preserve the face of the royal fox, and it is also common for his colleagues. Guilty.

"Then find someone to arrange it, Jericho is a respectable opponent, we should show proper respect." Ruprecht ordered.

Now, the main forces of the High Seas Fleet and the Hipper Fleet have begun to gather the fleet to prepare for the return journey. In the other direction, the battle continues. The Thomas Fleet ran away, followed by the third battleship squadron of the German High Seas Fleet. Although the number of 4 Bavarian-class battleships has absolute advantage, Thomas really dare not look back at this time!

"Your Excellency, if we follow the information provided by the Air Force, we can see the British fleet in 20 minutes." An officer said to Earl Spey.

"Very good. Prepare to fight as planned." Count Spey nodded and said. He is now very relaxed. The British are at the end of the battle. The strength of the fleet is no longer as good as himself. What's more, His Royal Highness has specially allocated 4 Bavarian-class battleships to help him in the battlefield. There are land-based aviation forces in the air. No matter how you look at it, I have an absolute advantage here. Winning is not a problem at all.

The only thing that made the Earl a little depressed was that His Royal Highness seemed to want an Englishman to save some money and not let him be killed. This made Earl Spey, a soldier, feel a little uncomfortable, but he felt that the Crown Prince gave his last battle exploits to himself. I am still very grateful. I have been in a fox for so many years. If you can't see this, then you will be in vain!

Regarding Prince Ruprecht’s orders, Earl Spey must absolutely abide by them. He does not understand political issues, but he will execute the orders. In other words, he understands and executes them.

"There are four more places now, eh." Earl Spey said silently in his heart. However, the earl could not expect that these 4 places were given to them all, not just for the 8 fast battleships under his own hands. Before the battleships exchanged fire, the air force's land-based aviation force had already arrived!

"The fox hunter calls the foxcatcher. Report your location to us." At this time, a K8 bomber air squadron, the Tiger Shark Squadron, was flying over the vast Norwegian sea. After several oblique flights, the squadron leader It has been confirmed that they are close to the battlefield, but at this critical moment, the navigator’s report made everyone extremely depressed that is, they suddenly received no navigation information from the shore!

The so-called navigation, to put it bluntly, is to know where you are. If you are on land, you can naturally determine your location based on topography and landmarks, but on the sea, a vast sea, how do you determine your location? In this era, the Luftwaffe has solved the problem in this way. Each bomber squadron will be equipped with a special receiving device, which can carry out lateral and ranging to two designated ground radio transmitting stations. Then, after simple drawing and calculation, the approximate location of one's own fleet can be determined. But now, the signal from one of the radio transmitting stations is suddenly phenol-free. This is a bit troublesome. Considering that all aircraft are phenol-free, it is very likely that a land-based radio transmitting station has a problem.

But it doesn’t matter, the Germans still have preparatory measures, and this preparatory measure is to calculate their position by guiding the relative position of the aircraft. If the British fleet is compared to a fleeing caregiver, then the K8 bomber squadron as the fox hunter is the hunter. , And the foxdog is the hound that guides the hunter to hunt down!

At this time, the navigators knew the location of themselves and the guide group by locating the radio signals sent by the foxhounds. Then, they received a very important message-the hounds had found the location of the target and transferred it. Passed to the hunter!
