Chapter 842: Key telegram

Just when Su Xiong and Raidel were planning to go to East Africa to replenish fuel and then find a secluded place to avoid the limelight, waiting for the North Sea backyard to happen, while the British got out of their way, another German navy ship was busy moving The information collected is sent out.

A U154 submarine with a displacement of 1,200 tons slowly surfaced, the telescopic communication antenna opened, and then sent out a few vital pieces of information. In order to ensure that the port in Faor can receive the telegram, the u154 submarine repeated it three times.

This submarine was the submarine that discovered war exhaustion and Malaya going south and provided warnings to Su Xiong. The u154 was also a mission to break the cross-traffic mission, but in an operation off India, the submarine discovered that it provided supplies to the British fleet. The U154, which is believed to be profitable, keeps surface tracking, relying on the smaller appearance of the submarine to track this fleet over long distances. The surface speed of the submarine in World War 1 is not slow and can barely keep up. And when he was about to take advantage of the night, the British fleet appeared!

Then U154 accidentally received the intelligence sent by the Su Xiong fleet, and realized that the situation was a bit complicated, Major Messier, the captain of U154, decided to abandon the previous attack plan. After confirming the approximate position of the German fleet and the British fleet and the heading of the British fleet heading south, Messier issued a warning to Su Xiong.

As for whether Su Xiong can escape in the future, it has nothing to do with Messier. If you want to help, you can’t help. A submarine has a speed of 5 knots underwater, and a British fast battleship can easily exceed 15 knots. It’s unrealistic that he wants to seize his position, not to mention that he has more important things to do. He needs to send the changes in the Indian Ocean to the German High Seas Fleet as soon as possible!

This series of telegrams was quickly received by Faor’s radio station. After a while, the telegrams were forwarded to the German mainland via cable telegrams and radio waves. In the evening, Prince Ruprecht was in Prague. I got the telegram sent by the U154 submarine.

"It is confirmed that the British main fleet has appeared in the Indian Ocean and fought against the Suxiong Fleet in the middle of the Indian Ocean at noon today. The British battleship looks similar to the Queen Elizabeth-class battleship in appearance. The suspected number is about 4 to 5, with light cruisers escorted. "

"The Su Xiong fleet seems to have escaped the siege. The two British battleships seemed to have been hit hard, and they subsequently merged with another British fleet. Soon after the meeting, the two wounded warships were escorted by several warships to the northeast. Transfer."

The information sent by the U154 submarine was very vague, and even a little unclear. In particular, Messier did not know the whereabouts of the last damaged two battleships. He didn't even see the opponent's battleship at all. He just judged it based on the smoke plume. Although the oil-fired boiler exhausted less smoke, there were some, especially It is when the power is damaged and the combustion is insufficient. The queen was right to burn oil. The light cruisers and auxiliary ships that accompanied the action burned coal, so at the end of the second telegram, Messier used a guessing tone.

But even so, it was enough for Ruprecht to outline the general situation of the naval battle that broke out today. The British obviously adopted a double-teaming tactic. There is no rash to go up. This is similar to what the prince guessed, because if the four queens acted together, Su Xiong would definitely turn his head and run. As long as he was not lucky, the probability of escape was quite high.

From the description of the battle by Telegram, the two sides engaged in a fair 2v2 battle, and then the two queens were actually beaten away? ! Well, very good, it really deserves to be a battleship that Lao Tzu has personally reviewed. This is the case for the famous queen who has been blown by later generations in history... The prince was a little proud.

Take a sip of the 1882 Sprite, it's Bordeaux. The prince continued to read other information. The two heavily damaged queens are expected to return to India for replenishment and maintenance. Because the damage is hard to say, it is impossible to determine how long it will take for the two warships to complete the repair.

But what is certain is that if the two Queen-class battleships damage the turrets and ammunition depots, they will basically be impossible to repair before returning to Europe, because the entire Asian region may not find 15-inch l42 guns. Although Singapore is a long-run fortress of the British Empire, I am afraid that a few 15-inch artillery can be found during the Second World War, but now? forget it. The r-level is still waiting for the artillery to be used!

If the engine or the power compartment is damaged, it cannot be repaired in India. Maybe the two ships can be repaired and repaired and they can make do with the fleet. But for the prince, even if the two ships return to England, the future North Sea The battle can completely eliminate these two ships. Because in the North Sea, the British could not use wounded warships. Although the British Great Fleet has obvious advantages, it doesn't bring it.

The key now is to figure out the situation of the two British damaged warships. On the one hand, we must mobilize the intelligence network of the Allies in the Indian Ocean. On the other hand, we must obtain the battle report of Su Xiong and others. Of course, this battle report may not be made by Su Xiong. It is sent out ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and then we have to figure out what the British will do next, whether to continue to search for the Suxiong fleet in the Indian Ocean or go home?

"Let me find out the recent activities of the Hipper fleet. I want to see it tonight. Also, send a telegram to Tirpitz. I ask the navy to find out as soon as possible the movement of the British fleet in the Indian Ocean and, as well as Japan The latest action of the fleet, um, that's it, do it right away." The prince thought for a while and said.

The situation is now developing in the direction that the prince expected. This is a big plan that has been planned for a long time. It can even be counted from the time when the Hahnhorst and Gneisenau entered the Indian Ocean. The two fast battleships were raging in the back garden of the British Empire, and the British would definitely not care about it, but if they were to manage, the number of fleets sent out was too small, and the number of fleets was too slow. Regardless of whether the British want it or not, regardless of whether the British realize that there is a trick behind this, they must follow the prince's setting-at least send a fast fleet to the Indian Ocean! And this will undoubtedly reduce the strength of the British fast fleet at home!

In fact, if only from the perspective of the main force of the High Seas Fleet, the British would split their troops out and even the Germans would have won. After all, the distance from the North Sea to the Indian Ocean is not short. To be honest, Thomas is already very fast, but more than a month has passed since the preparation time! And now, the battle is over, and the two queens have entered the dock. If the British continue to rely on the two queens to search for the Su Xiong fleet, then this time will be uncertain.
