Dudley? Pound was concerned about this, he was worried that the Germans would land in Britain at a time when Britain was at its most vulnerable, but he did not realize that in fact the German navy was now in the Atlantic. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Compared to the British Navy, the German Navy is really pouring out of the nest this time. With the exception of two German-class pocket battleships and the famous Scharnhorst, the rest of the battleships were already in the Atlantic.

Even so, the British Royal Navy's home fleet, the battleships Warweary and Revenge, did not join the battle to encircle and intercept the German fleet.

The main reason for not carrying these two battleships was that they were both too old, and after refitting, they could only reach a pitiful speed of about 21 knots.

This speed simply could not catch up with the cutting-edge German warships, so they could only honestly huddle in the harbor and use them as a deterrent to the warden.

In World War II, the main reason why the battleship units of the entire British Navy were inferior to their American and Japanese counterparts was also because the British battleships were too old to be used boldly.

Of course, although there are many old warships, the numerical advantage is staggering. There are still many warships of other fleets of the Royal Navy that are too late to participate in the war or have not been transferred to participate in the war at this time.

It can be seen from this that there is indeed a huge gap in the hard power of the two navies that is difficult to bridge, and the German navy is indeed too weak.

"What are you kidding, the German Navy simply does not have the forces to cover the landing, on what? By two destroyers? Churchill reprimanded.

Nowadays, he is very secretive about the German landing, and he is easily reluctant to mention it. Because he knew how weak Britain was now and simply could not prevent the landing of the Germans.

If it weren't for the weakness of the German navy and the lack of preparation for the German landing, Britain would have been swept away by the Germans long ago.

How can the British army, which counts on the few broken guns on the coastline, as many as 1 million but half of them are Boy Scouts, stand up to the elite Wehrmacht?

So, every time the Germans landed was mentioned, Churchill felt like he had been stepped on by the tail. He hates to talk about it because he's afraid to talk about it.

"Encircling and destroying the German fleet as soon as possible, and then restoring order in the Atlantic, this is the most important thing for us now!" He looked at Dudley? Pound, said depressedly.

Because of the total destruction of the TC transport fleet, the port city of Liverpool on the British mainland has begun to run out of supplies, and Churchill already knows about this.

As the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, he had to be unaware of such news. The battleship Prince of Wales had already begun early sea trials, but it was the steel reserves of the battleship Anson that had been diverted.

The battleship Duke of York is also slowing down, but in order to launch the battleship ahead of schedule, the battleship Howe of the British Royal Navy has been forced to stop work.

The reason why the British Navy demolished the east wall and repaired the west wall was because the steel was not replenished in time. Now that the supplies are cut off more completely, it is not known whether it will affect the progress of the battleship.

"Where has the search fleet going north been? Haven't they arrived at the position yet? As soon as he finished speaking, Churchill was already a little impatient.

You know, just an hour ago he ordered the search fleet to go north, and now the search fleet is certainly not going to get to the predetermined sea area.

Besides, Dudley? Pound feared that even if the search fleet arrived in the nearby seas, it would be a question of whether it would be able to entangle the Germans.

According to the description of the drowning sailors rescued from the water by the home fleet, they saw two German battleships, as well as two large cruisers and above.

Easy, Dudley? Pound analyzed that the German battleships were basically in this fleet - including two battleships, a battlecruiser, and a heavy cruiser.

With such a configuration, it is really unknown whether the two battlecruisers of the British Royal Navy can fight with one of them.

But the problem before the commander-in-chief of the British Royal Navy was that no other fleet could catch up with the sabotaging German fleet except the search fleet.

"To John right away? General Tovey sent a telegram asking him to do everything in his power and seriously damage several German battleships! "Dudley? Pound pinned his last hope on General Tovey.

The best way to annihilate this German fleet now is to inflict heavy damage on one or two German ships and slow down the opponent.

……

John who received the telegram? Admiral Tovey had a wry smile on his face, knowing that the home command had been deranged by the German fleet.

His fleet consisted of only two battle cruisers and a new aircraft carrier, and his strength was probably half or less than that of the enemy.

In this case, his fleet rashly attacked, most likely with heavy losses! After all, the original design of the battlecruiser was not intended for a decisive battle with a battleship on the sea.

The last time a battle cruiser was used as a weapon in a decisive battle was during the Battle of Jutland. Britain itself proved at a terrible cost that the battlecruisers could not compete head-on with the battleships.

But this time, he had to use the battlecruiser again to trouble the German battleships - his heart was full of sorrow and an inexplicable reluctance.

However, an order was an order after all, and he could only take three warships that could sail at high speed, and began to move quickly in the direction that the German fleet might go.

Now, no one knew the correct course of the German fleet, and in the vast Atlantic, everyone could only rely on experience and guesswork to determine where the German fleet was.

The razor-sharp bow of the battlecruiser USS Hood cut through the waves, followed by the battlecruiser Prestige, followed by the famous aircraft carrier HMS Ark Royal.

This fleet had 30 Swordfish carrier-based aircraft, but now everyone knows that these carrier-based aircraft are almost indistinguishable from non-existent in the face of German aircraft.

And where exactly is the German fleet at this moment? Because there was no oil spill, and the German fleet still had enough oil, Lütjens boldly changed his course again!

"Heading due west! Distance yourself and search south! After giving the order to change the course, Lütjans handed a telegram to Hines beside him.

Ever since he had been convinced of the Führer's predictions and understanding of aircraft carriers, Lütjans was fond of sharing his decision with Hines, the Führer's protégé.

Just now, the German fleet, which was rapidly moving south, received the latest news from the Navy's submarine forces.

A German submarine cruising off the east coast of the United States spotted a departing British convoy. Because of its speed and position, it was unable to attack.

At the end of the telegram, the longitude and latitude of this fleet were recorded in detail, so that friendly forces could find them and arrange an ambush circle first.

The text of the telegram was intended for the Wolf Pack submarine forces in the middle of the Atlantic in Germany, but Lütjans deciphered the contents of the telegram.

Although the telegram clearly stated that the submarine force was invited to set up an ambush, Lütjans decided to go over and grab a piece of credit!

No matter how much the submarine forces attack, they will not be able to completely wipe out a large transport fleet. But Lütjans's fleet could do this, so he wanted to prove himself well in this hunt.

After weighing it up for a while, Hines handed the telegram back to Lutjens and asked solemnly, "If we continue westward, then change course to the north...... Will it fall into the encirclement of the enemy? ”

"If the British are not fools, then at this very moment their fleet from Gibraltar is already waiting to meet us in the southern seas of England." Lütjans pointed at the map and analyzed Hines.

Having commanded the battlecruiser Scharnhorst, he showed unparalleled counter-encirclement experience at this time.

When it comes to escaping, the German Navy has recognized the second, and it is estimated that no other country's navy dares to recognize the first...... Well, again, it's not a glorious thing......

"The opposing fleet will search and head north to try to encircle us." Ruthjance probably drew a picture on the map, and it was about the route of the encirclement fleet commanded by General Somerville.

"If we do not go south, but turn to the northwest, we will throw off the enemy's home fleet, and at the same time let the enemy's intercepting fleet fall into the air." Lytjens marked a location on the map and continued.

"But as soon as we start attacking the British fleet, then our position will be exposed." Hines looked at the map and said with some concern.

"Indeed, at this time, the two British fleets will follow us further north......" Ruetjens nodded and admitted.

Then he pointed further north: "With the advantage of speed, we will turn east and bypass the enemy's fleet going north!" ”

"This sea area is too narrow, will it be blocked by the British fleet, and a battle will inevitably occur?" Hines frowned and pointed to the sea.

"If it can be avoided, of course, the best case scenario, we will throw off the two fleets going north, and after we have advanced eastward, we will quickly move south, and we will throw off all the pursuers and get out of the enemy's encirclement." This was Lütjans's best plan, to get rid of the siege and interception once and for all, and return safely to the port of Brest.

But if the situation gets worse, he also has a way to deal with it: "The weather forecast says that from tomorrow, the weather will turn bad, and the enemy will not be able to take off carrier-based aircraft, and he is blind like us!" ”

As Lu Ranran, he was still very confident that he could get out of the other party's snaking safely in the hiding game where neither side could take off the carrier-based aircraft.
