Chapter 63: Doubts
After sending Jack away, John. Tovey sighed deeply, looked at the chart in front of him, and after a little thought, he marked the place where the Black Pearl sank on it, if the Germans' goal was that thing from the beginning, it seems that it can explain the strangeness of the Bismarck's route, it turned out that it was not to attack the sea line of communication.....
If their goal in the first place was not to attack the lines of communication at sea, but to send the strongest warships that Germany currently possessed to attack, then everything can be explained.
For the sake of this plan, he even did not hesitate to expose Bismarck, who had just awakened the spirit of the ship...... However, judging from the time of Bismarck's awakening, the Germans have also begun to study this forbidden power.
Although it is not clear how the Germans managed to burst out with such great power as a young being, but Johann. Tovey believed that "everything in the world can be exchanged, and the two ends of the balance can only be achieved by balance, which is the universal law of all things, and how much did the Germans pay to be able to sink an existence like Bismarck, who could not even embody the ship, to sink Hood, this price must be very heavy." "Thinking of John here. Tovey breathed a sigh of relief, he understood that it was not impossible to forcibly mature the martial spirit, but no matter which method it was, it was at the cost of the martial spirit's own potential, just like the battleship George V, that kid was afraid ......
But is it really just a coincidence?
Indeed, in the current situation, the goal of escorting the Philosopher's Stone in the form of a fleet is too big, which is undoubtedly telling those wolves who have been cruising on the ocean that there is prey here, and if something happens to the Philosopher's Stone, it is beyond the British Empire to pay a huge price in exchange, and in order to avoid this, it is no wonder that MI6 and the Governor's Palace will use an ordinary cargo ship to carry out the Ideal Township plan.
However, after using a lot of false information, and even using a mole lurking in the German Navy to confirm, but in this case, the German fleet still targeted the Black Pearl, codenamed Avalon, and it is hard to believe that there is no deeper plan behind this, "It turns out that the Rhine exercise was just a cover......
John. Tovey couldn't help but think of something deeper, if Cheng Hao knew that John. Tovey's complicated inner activities at the moment, he will definitely laugh out loud, you must know that the Rhine exercise is just a normal broken engagement, in the case of Cheng Hao's little knowledge of this world line, all the actions he made are basically carried out with reference to the Rhine exercise of the original world line, but after witnessing the existence of the U-47 and the Artmark, Cheng Hao also gradually understood that the appearance of the martial spirit has fundamentally changed the world.....
And the reason why the target was on the Black Pearl was only because it was the closest cargo ship to the German ship, because Hood didn't know about the Ideal Township plan, so a piece of information that was deliberately confused by the British intelligence agency was naturally leaked by Hood, and people had to complain that all this was the choice of the Gate of the Destiny Stone!
John. Tovey had been combing through what had happened over and over again in his mind, but with the German fleet silent, he couldn't count on the agent who had been lurking for years.
John. Tovey has very little information about the German fleet, and the current reports on Bismarck's actual combat are only the testimonies of survivors of the Danish naval battle, but why Barbossa's telegram only revealed that there was only one battleship Bismarck? Tovey's current intelligence sources show that in addition to the battleship Bismarck, the German battleships that carried out this plan also included the heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen and a variety of U-boats.
"That is, in the period between the Battle of Denmark and the wreck of the Black Pearl, what happened that we don't know about, so that Lütjens ordered the detachment?" John. Tovey sighed, and silently thought in his heart that if the worst-case scenario was considered, the next step for the German fleet should be to return with the Philosopher's Stone, but just in case the higher authorities ordered John . Tovey had to lead the fleet further into the Atlantic to find traces of the German ships, not only the Doge's Palace, but also John Brown. Tovey still hopes for this, if the Philosopher's Stone has sunk in this sea area with the Black Pearl, this is the best ending that the British hope for at present, although it has paid a huge price, but for the British who have no access to this thing, it is safest to let it sleep in this sea.
John. Tovey picked up the black tea that had been on the side for a long time, and drank it all in one gulp. Tovey couldn't taste its original taste at all, and looked at the girl who appeared behind him at some point. Tovi's hoarse voice rang in the girl's ears, "Is there any order from the Governor's Palace?" ”
Strictly speaking, the Governor's Office and the Admiralty are the same departments, but the Ideal Township Plan is a plan that is directly responsible to the Prime Minister and is jointly implemented by the Admiralty, MI6 and the Governor's Office. Tovey sighed and asked the girl.
The girl nodded, hesitated for a moment, and casually said to John. "The Governor's Palace means that we should stay here and wait for the arrival of instruments to inspect this area, and at the same time order the other warships of the fleet to continue deep into the Atlantic. ”
At this moment, Tovey was in charge of the battleship King George V, and the only ships under his command were the battlecruiser Counterattack, the aircraft carrier Victory, 4 cruisers, and 10 destroyers. At this moment, in the Atlantic, there is the battleship Rodney in the east, the battleship Remilis and 2 cruisers in the north, and the battleship Revenge in the west. In addition, the H Fleet, commanded by Vice Admiral Somerville, commanded the battlecruiser Prestige, the aircraft carrier HMS Ark Royal, the cruiser Sheffield, and eight destroyers, was also ordered to leave Gibraltar and sail north. ”
At this scale, no matter which direction the German fleet goes, it will be intercepted by the Royal Navy, but considering that the German fleet may return to Saint-Nazaire, all the aircraft carriers are doing their best to send their own carrier-based aircraft to conduct reconnaissance work, and I believe that they will soon find out.
John. Tovey nodded, pondered for a moment, and then said to the girl, "Help me contact Vice Admiral Somerville." ”
