Six days later, under the leadership of Su Xiong and Raeder's planning, the entire fleet finally had a thrilling escape from the Cape of Good Hope, and in order to prevent detection by the British ships in South Africa, the fleet pushed the planned route 100 kilometers south....... After the www.biquge.info entered the Indian Ocean, the fleet still kept a low profile, and did not even go to the German ports in East Africa and other places, because the war had already begun, and there might be encounters with British warships, although it was no problem to clean up the latter, but Su Xiong himself still thought that it would not be possible to do it for this benefit! He believed that the Whisperer would give him a great gift!

Two days later, when Su Xiong's fleet arrived 800 kilometers north of the Seychelles Islands, they finally met the Whisperer, and saw that the other party was a merchant ship, Su Xiong was not surprised, but when an American legion came down from this merchant ship, Su Xiong was shocked, although he didn't have any identification, but he couldn't stop Su Xiong from knowing this person! When Su Xiong visited the United States with the Moltke, he saw this guy in front of him, Lieutenant Nimitz of the US Navy!

"General Su Xiong, we meet again, I hope we can continue our relationship this time and cooperate happily!" Nimitz was not surprised, because he knew that it was precisely because of his dealings with Su Xiong that he was selected by the US Navy to take on this task.

"And what should I call you?" Su Xiong said with some amusement.

"I'm Nimitz now, a natural person, and I have nothing to do with the U.S. Navy. Of course, what we do next will certainly make your country and the United States quite happy, and if your fleet can do a better job this time, then the ghosts of the Philippine naval battle will also rest in peace. With that, Nimitz reverently drew a cross on his chest.

"What do you mean?" Su Xiong felt a little confused after hearing this, although he knew that the German Navy might have to play a big ticket, but how big it was, it was hard to say. And the Nimitz in front of him, who assisted the German Navy in carrying out the plan, suddenly said such a sentence, then it is really intriguing.

The Philippine naval battle Su Xiong is very clear, a classic example of the world's naval history, a model of Anglo-Japanese cooperation to kill the Americans, and the Japanese Navy has become the pioneering work of the world-class navy. If you want these wronged souls to rest in peace, this sacrifice must be indispensable!

"Thank God, your efforts and our waiting have not been in vain, we have found a perfect hunt for you and your fleet! A goal that can definitely affect the whole picture! Maybe after this war, you'll be crowned a bloodthirsty maniac. Nimitz made a joke that wasn't funny.

"In 5 days, an ANZ convoy escorted by the British Navy will enter the Red Sea through the Gulf of Aden and then into Europe! A total of 1 armored cruiser and 2 light cruisers escorted this fleet, a total of 38 transport ships, carrying 32,000 Australian and New Zealand officers and soldiers, thousands of military horses and a large number of military supplies, how about it, interested? Nimitz looked at the other party's reaction with some smugness.

"32,000 people!" Everyone, including Su Xiong, was shocked! Aside from the 38 transport ships, aside from the thousands of military horses and military supplies, this number alone is enough to make Su Xiong and the others crazy, 32,000 people, this is not a civilian, it is a soldier! Two divisions of British troops walked in front of the knife of Su Xiong and others, and maybe a single shell could kill hundreds or even thousands of people! Nimitz was right, if it was really done, Su Xiong would definitely be able to put a bloodthirsty maniac hat on his head!

Compared with these officers and soldiers, what are the so-called supplies and those merchant ships? (This is something in history, it is by no means made up by the author, and if you have the conditions, you can take a look at the relevant chapters of Emden in the Sea of Fearless, in history, it was 1 Japanese cruiser and 2 British cruisers to escort these personnel, just such a fleet, it was so large-scale, and there were opinions to talk to the British.) ）

However, Nimitz apparently decided that this was not enough! How can the blood of the British alone wash away the humiliation of the United States of America in the Battle of the Philippines? The key is to have Japanese! "This is just the beginning of your feast, there will be a Japanese fleet within a day's voyage of this transport fleet, but this Japanese fleet will be a little more difficult than the British." Nimitz threw out a second big course.

"The Japanese were ready to fulfill their agreement with the British, so they decided to send capital ships and land forces into the battlefield, and not far behind the ANZ fleet was the first Japanese fleet to Europe! Among these ships were 2 Satsuma class battleships and 2 light cruisers, as well as 3 supply ships. In addition, there was a Japanese fleet, which consisted of about 17 merchant ships and transported about 20,000 officers and men! ”

"If I were you, then after eating the first big dish, I would go to the second big dish, and according to my meaning, there is no need for the Japanese to capture!" As a member of the U.S. Navy, Nimitz made no secret of his anger and disgust with the Japanese!

"If everyone is going to Europe, and the routes are the same, why don't the British and the Japanese go together, but there is still a day left?" Raeder frowned and said, it stands to reason that the larger the scale of this kind of escort, the more fleets allocated, the safer it will be, and the voyage between the two sides is only one day, so there is no need to go separately.

"There's a reason for that. You know the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, right? Nimitz did not answer directly, but mentioned a geographical location.

"I see, you mean the hydrology of the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, right?" It dawned on Raeder that the Bab el-Mandeb Strait is an important passage connecting the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, and that the widest part is only 32 kilometers and the narrowest is only 26 kilometers, and the most tragic thing is that the island of Pilin in this strait also divides the strait into two sections, namely the eastern section with a width of 3.2 kilometers, near Asia and the western section with a width of 28 kilometers near Africa.

Logically speaking, you should generally go to the wider part of the western section, where the water is deeper and wider, but unfortunately, the truth is just the opposite of what people think! It is true that the western section is deeper, with a maximum depth of more than 300 meters, but here the shoals and reefs are dense and the current is turbulent. It was not suitable for a fleet, let alone a large one, so the Arabs named this waterway the Báb. Earl. Mande's name means Gate of Tears! The situation here is dangerous!
