Jericho sent the news that the Grand Fleet could not go to sea immediately to the naval headquarters, and unexpectedly, both Churchill and Fisher accepted Jericho's report, not because they conceded three points in the face of Jericho, but because in the actual situation, if the two sides engage at noon tomorrow, Jericho's chances of participating in this battle are zero!

After the arrival of the two Admiralty chiefs, the two generals of the British Naval Staff, Oliver and Wilson, calculated the course of the Germans by an hour by compass and ruler according to the estimated speed of the German battle cruiser formation, and they found that even if the Grand Fleet set out immediately after nightfall, it would probably be too late. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoAfter all, there is not enough fuel, it is impossible for the fleet to sail at high speed, and it is not known the exact target of the German fleet, so it is impossible for the Grand Fleet to set up an ambush! (There is a similar presumption in the historical Battle of Dogger Sandbank, the source of which is the Sea of Fearless.) ）

"If that's the case, only Betty's fleet can engage in battle?" Sir Fisher said.

"So what? Betty had 7 capital ships, three squadrons of light cruisers, and destroyers from the Harwich fleet. And Lieutenant General Jerram's George V. I could hardly find a reason to lose. Churchill, who did not have much knowledge of naval technology, said lightly.

"It's not a big problem to win, but in the face of the Hipper's fleet, I'm afraid Betty will pay some price. I recently took a closer look at the information from India, what do you say? Thomas's fleet really paid a staggering price, and the battleships of the Germans were as strong as ever. Sir Fisher said carefully. In his opinion, the ultra-dreadnought orientation of Hipper's fleet was closer to the Queen Elizabeth-class battleships than to his own crispy battle cruisers designed specifically to deal with various armored cruisers.

A fast battleship that patrols other people's houses with pure-blooded battles? The race may be won, but if it is a dead end, maybe Betty will not feel anything, but Sir Fisher, who has reached the level of an old fritter, is sweating in his heart, but although he is a little worried in his heart, it is absolutely impossible for Fisher to advise Churchill to cancel this operation at this time. "It doesn't matter, we have a numerical advantage, and we have Lieutenant General Jeram." Fisher consoled himself.

"The light cruisers and destroyers of the Harwich fleet are key, and Commodore Tirit must discover the location of the German fleet as soon as possible, and I propose to urge it again in the name of the Admiralty." Churchill said.

"You can contact the Harwich fleet separately for this, I want to say another thing now, since Admiral Jericho's fleet can't feel the scene quickly, then at least let General Hood's third battle cruiser formation go first, right?" Fisher said.

"In that case, the vanguard of the Grand Fleet will probably only be light cruisers. Jericho wouldn't agree. Churchill said.

"It's only been a couple of hours, we're just building up our edge and then let's get rid of our opponents cleanly! Jericho still had nearly 20 battleships under his command, and the German High Seas Fleet had not yet sailed, and their flagship, the Bavaria, was still in the Gulf of Mandeb, and after missing the morning high tide, they could only go to sea after half past two in the afternoon, and the Grand Fleet would not have any problems. Sir Fisher insisted.

"I can co-sign with you, but General Jericho has command of the battlefield, and if he doesn't agree, I hope you will respect his opinion." Churchill didn't know why Fisher was so uncertain and did his best to strengthen Betty's fleet, but Churchill thought that Fisher, who had been the commander of the Mediterranean Fleet, must have a reason for thinking so, so he decided to support it conditionally.

"Then send it immediately, even if you set off now, maybe Major General Hood will miss this feast." Fisher said impatiently.

"It's strong on the outside." Looking at the telegram sent by Fisher in his hand, Jericho couldn't help but sigh. While everyone else thinks that Sir Fisher wants to draw more troops to surround his opponent, only Jericho realizes that Fisher is afraid! I'm afraid that something will go wrong! I'm afraid that the perfect cat he is trying to advocate will be beaten to death! As one of the few people in the entire native navy who knew the details of the Battle of the Indian Ocean, after reading more than a dozen reports and some photos, Jericho could understand how stressful Thomas was when he dealt with Su Xiong! It can also predict the pressure that Betty may have.

It wasn't that he hadn't warned Betty to be careful of the Hipper's fleet counterattack, or that he hadn't supported Betty, otherwise he wouldn't have given the Warrior to Betty, and he wouldn't have let Vice Admiral Jerram's fleet be assigned to Betty. He's done the best, so all that's left is to do his best.

"Let Rear Admiral Hood get ready to leave as soon as possible, and assign another light cruiser formation and a lightning strike group to Rear Admiral Hood." Jericho thought for a moment and said. If Rear Admiral Hood had moved quickly, he would have joined Betty's fleet at about 10 a.m. on August 15. Before that, Betty could only rely on herself, or count on the time of the fight, and Lieutenant General Jeram would be able to rush to the battlefield as soon as possible.

"After the departure of the fleet we will sail first to the east and then to the south, the Admiralty has ordered the fleet of Harwich to fully support us, and I hope that his light cruisers and destroyers may spread out and search for opponents in a larger area, telegraphing Vice Admiral Jeram, that I want his battleship formation to remain with us for a half-hour to forty-five minutes' voyage. I don't want to scare Hipper off in the first place. "On the flagship Lion, Betty gave three orders in a row.

"Your Excellency, it is already two o'clock in the morning, and the ships are in good condition and ready to sail." An officer said.

"Alright, let's go! Tomorrow, I will work with you to create a new future! Let the world see who is the master of the ocean! Increase the speed to 22 knots! Let's move forward! Betty said confidently. He was really confident now, because just half an hour earlier, he had received a telegram from the Admiralty that Jericho would provide him with another battle cruiser formation!

The battleship Warrior sailed out of port first, followed by Betty's flagship Lion, Celestia, Tiger, Queen Mary, and last on the line were the 2 dreadnought battlecruisers New Zealand and Australia. Escorted by 9 light cruisers and more than two dozen destroyers, Betty's fleet left the harbor and set out on a journey! Go and meet the battle that belongs to them.
