At six o'clock in the morning, just after dawn, German High Seas Fleet became busy. One after another, seaplanes took off from the sea and flew south. They will search the nearby sea area of 200 kilometers and be responsible for finding British fleet.
At the same time, the main force of High Seas Fleet is also heading south. Although, High Seas Fleet's actions have become more cautious. However, the goal of defeating British Navy has not changed at all.
Admiral Reinhard? Scheer and Vice Admiral Hipper stood on the bridge of the Battleship Bavaria, watching dozens of seaplanes taking off to perform reconnaissance missions.
"With so many seaplanes, the Britain people can't escape no matter what this time. Unless they hide back to the Irish Sea again. Otherwise, they will only have one way to be destroyed by us!" said General Reinhard? Scheer.
"Yes, Your Excellency Commander. If the Britain people hide back to the Irish Sea again, I suggest that a large minefield be arranged at the exits at both ends of the Irish Sea to block all the exits. In this case, the Britain people will no longer be safe. There is no way to leave Irish Sea. Or, let the submarine force ambush at both ends of the Irish Sea. Once the Britain people leave Irish Sea, they will first suffer heavy losses under the attack of our submarine force." Vice Admiral Hipper suggested.
"This is a good idea. I will propose it to the Naval Ministry. However, I am not sure whether it will be adopted. After all, once the troops set up the minefield, these Naval Mine will threaten the safety of passing ships after the war. I am afraid that the bustling Irish Sea coast will be depressed." Admiral Reinhard? Scheer said.
The coast of the Irish Sea is undoubtedly where Britain is relatively developed. But these prosperity are all based on developed maritime transportation. If Naval Mine blocks the waterway and no ships enter Irish Sea, this area will become a dead sea.
Of course, this has nothing to do with Germany. After experiencing this war, Britain will quickly decline and will no longer be the world hegemon. It is also no longer the political and economic center of the world. Germany will replace Britain and become the world's dominant player. Germany The capital Berlin will become the political center of the world. Germany Those cities with developed industries are the new economic centers.
When German High Seas Fleet started searching for traces of British fleet, John? Admiral Jellicoe and David? Vice Admiral Beatty, who had not slept all night, were drinking strong coffee. It seems that only the kind of strong coffee that makes bitter people shed tears can cheer them up.
"Admiral Beatty, it seems that the Germany people will not give us the chance to sneak attack on them. In this battle, we can only fight them openly." John? Admiral Jellicoe said with a bitter smile.
All day yesterday, they were waiting for Commerce Raiding Fleet from German Navy. Prepare to destroy or cripple this fleet first, and then concentrate your forces to deal with the main force of German High Seas Fleet. But unfortunately, Commerce Raiding Fleet of German Navy never appeared at all. This made their plan undoubtedly come to nothing.
"Your Excellency Commander, even if we fight the Germany people openly, we may not lose! After all, the number of Capital Ships we have now is no less than that of the Germany people, or even more Out of two. It's just that the battleship's performance is slightly inferior to that of Germany, but if our luck is better, maybe we can win the decisive battle." David? Vice Admiral Beatty said. He is quite confident about this decisive battle in the future. Although, I don't know where his confidence comes from. But having confidence is better than having no confidence!
"Yes, Admiral Beatty. We still have a chance this time. I also believe that we will not be as unlucky as last time." John? Admiral Jellicoe said.
Although luck is illusory, luck has become an important factor in naval battles. The lucky side is undoubtedly more likely to win. For example, if the same shell is hit, the front of the turret and the ammunition depot are hit, which are completely different things. The former can escape the crisis with its thick armor, but the latter is undoubtedly dead.
"When can Admiral Martin's fleet join us?" John? Admiral Jellicoe asked.
"In another hour, we will probably be able to meet up with you." David? Vice Admiral Beatty said.
Without German Navy being fooled, Combined Fleet's battle plan had to make some changes. The fleet led by Vice Admiral Martin, who was originally used as a bait, was ordered to assemble with the main force of the fleet. In this case, when they encounter German High Seas Fleet, they will have enough power to fight against it. If they continue to spread out, once they are encountered by German High Seas Fleet, they will only be defeated individually. By then, they would really have no chance of winning.
John? Admiral Jellicoe nodded. "I hope God can bless British Empire this time. We can't lose again."
"God will definitely bless British Empire, and we will definitely defeat the Germany people!" David? Vice Admiral Beatty said.
A German Navy seaplane was hiding above the clouds. And under the clouds, it was Anglo-French-Italian Combined Fleet.
"God! Didn't it mean that the Britain people only obtained 12 Capital Ships from Americans? Plus their own There are only twenty Capital Shipss. However, there are thirty-six Capital Shipss below, no less than our Capital Shipss!" the pilot said.
"Then how do we report to the flagship? Send it directly to the flagship?" asked the transmitter sitting in the back seat.
"Report it truthfully. After you finish sending Telegram, we will lower the altitude and fly over the head of Britain to see clearly what is going on!"
"Okay, although this is a bit risky. But the Britain people shouldn't be able to catch up with us!"
A few minutes later, the seaplane left the clouds and flew directly over Combined Fleet.
"It's the flag of French flag and Kingdom of Italy! It turns out that the Britain people not only got the battleship from Americans, but also brought in the French and Italy people." The pilot exclaimed.
"Quick, the Britain people's seaplane is chasing us. We must get rid of them and report to the flagship!"
German Navy's seaplane immediately pulled up and began to climb. At the same time, he staggered to avoid the bullets fired by the British seaplanes.
But they didn't know that the Telegram they sent back before had already stunned General Reinhard? Scheer and others. British fleet actually had 36 Capital Ships, which was undoubtedly beyond their expectations.
