"Alert!" By the time the British lookouts had not yet had time to report the news, a volley of shells had already told the Star of their current situation!

The violent explosion and the columns of water more than ten meters high made the Americans on board aware of the crisis, and the wireless telegrapher ran quickly towards the transmitter, preparing to transmit this information through the medium wave. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info and when he put on the headphones, a noisy sound came, as a transmitter of the US Navy, he naturally knew what was going on, when several transmitters would interfere with each other when they were close to the frequency of transmission, and now, he could be sure that the British were jamming his communications, and the US Navy had done a similar experiment!

"We're in big trouble!" Faced with almost impossible interference, the dispatcher immediately got up, then picked up the stool under his ass and smashed it at the transmitter, while his colleagues next to him began to burn the codebook and related documents, and puffs of smoke poured out of the telegraph room!

"They're destroying evidence! We're going to hurry! "Major Wells immediately ordered Boat A to come up and strafe with small-caliber guns and machine guns!

"Stop the boat! Surrender! The British flag issued an ultimatum, and the Star in the distance tried to evade the attack, but for the auxiliary cruiser, which had a strong firepower and a speed of up to 16 knots, such an act was naturally futile, and as a high-explosive shell of small-caliber guns fell on the Star, a cloud of flames spread wantonly on the deck. The entire bridge was half engulfed in flames and smoke, but even then the camouflaged supply ship tried to flee the scene.

"With a 6-inch gun! The Yankees have not yet recognized the situation! "ALONG WITH THE ORDER OF MAJOR WELLS, THE THICK 152MML40 GUN WAS AIMED AT THE TARGET, AND WITH THE VIOLENT RECOILS OF THE ARTILLERY, A HIGH-EXPLOSIVE SHELL SMASHED INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE TARGET SHIP, AND A SHINING POINT OF LIGHT DISAPPEARED, AND THEN, A BALL OF FLAME RUSHED OUT OF THE BREACH, AND BY THE WAY, A LARGE HOLE OF TEN SQUARE METERS WAS SMASHED!

And when the 6-inch gun fired, the limit of the Star finally arrived, and the Star, which was originally the bones of the civilian ship, was beaten all over the body, and when several shells directly killed the boiler room, the Star couldn't even escape! When the target ship in the distance gradually stopped, groups of British soldiers began to wait in small boats.

"Isolate all personnel for review, I authorize you to use all feasible interrogation methods, I only want the result, not the process! Also, by the way, search for the equipment and documents left on the ship, and it would be nice if you could find a new code of the Germans. Major Wells ordered.

With loud noises and sporadic gunfire, the British Navy boarders quickly took control of the situation, escorting part of the crew to ships A and B. The technicians of the British Navy also began to collect the technical equipment and documentation that remained on the ship.

And that same night, a telegram was sent by the British with a brand new cipher, and half an hour later, when Major General Kuhl got the telegram, he immediately called Major General Thomas, who was about to fall asleep!

"We've found them! 200 nautical miles northwest of the Chagos Archipelago! In the next three days, the German fleet will go to this sea area to join the supply ships! And now, we've intercepted this supply ship and know when and where they're supplying! Your Excellency, the rest is up to you now! The maritime lifeline of the British Empire and the safety of the Indian Ocean depend on you and your fleet! Major General Kuhl said excitedly to Thomas!

"Found it? This is the best news I've heard this year! Thomas was also excited, and his sleepiness immediately vanished. He immediately went to the bathroom to wash his face, and then immediately asked all the top leaders of the fleet to prepare for a meeting, the British must now race against time, it will take about two days for the fleet to rush to the ambush sea, and there is not much time left for him to prepare in the port, now I am afraid it can be calculated in minutes!

In the eyes of ordinary people, since the time and place of the ambush and the composition of the opponent's warships have been determined, it is enough to open the film directly, what else to discuss? If fighting a war is so simple, then wouldn't it be a waste of time for a general to have more than ten years of military career and several years of naval education? Especially this time Thomas's fleet was also an away battle, fighting the Germans in a place that he was completely unfamiliar with, so he had to get the help of his colleagues in the Indian Ocean!

"Do you need help from our other ships?" Major General Kuhl asked. What was your favorite thing to do as an admiral of the British Empire? Naturally, it is to take the overall advantage of the British Imperial Navy to crush the opponent cleanly! For example, in history, the British used their new battlecruisers to take out the armored cruiser of Count Spey in the Battle of Falkland.

In Rear Admiral Chur's view, although Thomas's fleet had the advantage this time, it was still difficult to pursue and kill battleships that might theoretically exceed his own speed in an open sea, so Rear Admiral Chur planned to mobilize some troops to participate in the encirclement and interception of Suxiong's fleet.

"No, it's too late." Thomas, however, did not appreciate it. This is because the British warships in the Indian Ocean are generally old-fashioned pre-dreadnoughts, not to mention the limited combat effectiveness, and the speed is even lower and terrifying! This kind of teammate can't rush to the battlefield immediately, and secondly, he thinks that in this sea area, the sudden appearance of British warships will startle the snake! Therefore, his requirements for the fleet are very simple, whether it can be fought or not, at least the speed must be above 24 knots. And there are quite a few warships that can meet this requirement. And even fewer can be transferred in a short period of time!

"Then you're under a lot of pressure, because in an open sea, such an ambush is likely to turn into a chase." Major General Kuhl was not dissatisfied with Thomas's refusal, on the contrary, he was very considerate of the other side.

"I need some supply ships with speeds of up to 16 knots!" Thomas thought for a moment and said.

"No problem, and we have such supply ships in the ports of southern India, they are closer to the battlefield, and although they are slower, they will not arrive later than the fleet. I can send a telegram right now. General Kuhl said.

"Is there really such a ship?" Thomas knew how rare such supply ships were, and even in the 2 wars in history, such specialized supply ships could be classified as high-speed oil tankers. And even more so now?

"These ships were originally intended to cooperate with the Indian Ocean Detachment to clear out those auxiliary cruisers after you dealt with the German fleet, and some of the German auxiliary cruisers are also very fast, so you need to give the hunting fleet additional supply ships, and now, I will use them for you first." Major General Kuhl said with a smile.

"Then I thank you again, General Kuhl." Thomas said.
