Chapter 1119

"Damn it, the Germans really look for time!" After receiving the information, Thomas looked at the wall clock on the wall and cursed. The Germans will look for opportunities very much. It is already 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and it will be night in two hours. Now, the British fleet is more than 3 hours away from the nearest warship, and it cannot be tracked at night. And warring. This destined that the British fleet could only roughly determine the position of the opponent, and then accurately determine it during the day the next day, but the range of movement of a fleet of fast battleships in one night is very large! It is really difficult to rely solely on the power of the Thomas Fleet for tracking.

However, as the commander of the most NB squadron in the UK, Thomas has already figured out how to deal with it! "If our intelligence is correct, then the oil tank of the Blücher was hit hard last time. (There were oil traces of more than ten kilometers on the sea). They won’t last long. If this time If they fail, then there is only one way to sink."

"The Germans are very cunning. They sent a telegram at this time. Although we still cannot decipher the content of this telegram, we can be sure that it must be a telegram for help. If they want to go back, the High Seas Fleet will definitely come out to respond. Of course We don’t need to worry about this matter, General Jericho will take care of it. He will command the large fleet to try to block off the German coast. Until we catch these annoying guys."

"Well, let’s talk about our arrangements. In one night, the German fleet will definitely have a chance to break into the North Sea. And considering that the German fleet has 2 battleships, if they fight hard, we have the advantage of two Queen-class battleships in one unit. It’s not obvious, so I want to join the second squad, and the third squad will intercept and kill the opposing squadron together. As for Major General Moore’s squadron, just block the entrance of the Skagerrak Strait, Germany. People can only take these two roads if they want to go back, and they are blocked by us, then it is only a matter of time before we kill them!" Thomas said confidently.

Lieutenant General Thomas is definitely the "small brother" in the British Navy. Do things to the extreme! He firmly grasped a basic point of the two centers. The first center was to block the passage of the German fleet in the North Sea. The second center is to block Skagerrak. After determining these two centers, the German fleet will definitely not be able to return home. So the large fleet is responsible for the North Sea, and the strongest Moore fleet, with a queen, a tiger, and two dreadnoughts, is used to block the Skagerrak Strait.

In this case, even if the three queen squads fail to find their opponents, the two battlecruisers Mochi and Blücher will definitely not be able to break through the Skagerrak Strait and return to the German mainland. A queen and a Maoqi can fight half a catty. And Blücher is definitely not as good as three battlecruisers, not to mention that Major General Moore’s fleet also has a light cruiser squadron and a seaplane carrier!

The so-called basic point is that we must concentrate the superior forces to kill the opponent! Thomas was deeply touched by the terrifying single-ship combat effectiveness of the German battleship. Who would have thought that two Scharnhorst could hit two 25,000-ton Queen-class fast-track battleships? After the defeat in the Indian Ocean, Thomas was cautious in the battle. Therefore, after confirming the traces of the German fleet, Thomas must concentrate the battleships of the 2 detachments for the final battle, 4 fights 2! The advantages are right! Don't give the opponent any chance to comeback! Kill the egg with a hammer!

After informing the naval aviation to request the other party to cooperate with him, Thomas decisively sent a telegram to Admiral Jericho who had just returned to Forth Bay to explain the current situation and his plan, and he had just returned, after cleaning up the fleet. After Admiral Rico saw the telegram, he spouted a sip of tea!

"Does this NM make people live?" This was Jericho's first reaction after seeing the telegram! Jericho had just returned to the port with his fleet within 12 hours, and he was going out again... During this period of time, Jericho had just arranged the repair of three battle-wounded Vengeance-class battleships. The officers and soldiers have not had a good night's sleep yet, and the coal and fuel oil have not been replenished, so they attacked again? ! And go directly to the door of the German Navy!

"Thomas, you bastard, do you know that if you go like this again, Lao Tzu's oil depot will be close to the cordon?!" Jericho cursed while calculating the gains and losses of the battle. Why does the prince have to meet the British fleet at this time? In addition to wanting to see each other's burdens, the most fundamental reason is not to make a profit as long as you come out! Even if everyone just turns around and flashes people, they consume more fuel than the high seas fleet for the size of the fleet! Why doesn't the prince do things that make money without losing money?

In the current situation, Jericho did hesitate. Thomas's 7 queens and 3 battlecruisers have been running outside for more than ten days. Those all-oil-fired battleships have burned tens of thousands of tons of fuel! This trip by myself was tens of thousands of tons of fuel and coal. And this time, Thomas not only asked himself to attack again, but also asked for an inshore blockade at the door of the High Seas Fleet~www.wuxiaspot.com~ This is not a question of walking around. It may take a few days to stay near shore. Faced with the threat of submarines and mines, in short, the trip must be unstable.

However, this trip will not work. The Thomas fleet has been with each other for such a long time, and it is about to be revealed. If you fail at this time, then the previous efforts made by the British Empire are not only worthless, but also a heavy blow to morale! This is tantamount to telling the world that the most powerful British Empire navy on this winning planet has mobilized a large number of warships at its own door, but it can't even take down two battlecruisers hanging alone overseas. If this pot is smashed down, neither Jericho nor Churchill can recite it!

"Tell Thomas, I agree with his plan, but a quick fight!" Jericho finally commanded. "By the way, with 3 seaplane carriers, we need to know if the high seas fleet will have new operations this time."

"His Royal Highness, Colonel Lefetzoff sent an urgent call. The Blücher and Wiesbaden will take on the task of luring the enemy. The Mochi will return at an opportunity. We should also prepare." At the same time, at William In Hong Kong, Lieutenant General Scheer said with the telegram just received.
