Dudley? Pound was a little unbearable, if the German fleet was allowed to wander around the Atlantic, and then escaped with the blood debt of dozens of transport ships, then the whole of Britain would be almost finished!

With the entire empire's transport lines unprotected, what else can this war rely on?

At this time, Dudley? Pound was almost certain that the German fleet was not aimed at the British fleet at all, and what they had always wanted to do was to develop a single ship into an even more terrible fleet battle. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In fact, he should have thought of it a long time ago, because the Germans had developed submarine breaking engagements into more efficient wolf pack tactics.

Now the dangerous single ship breaks the engagement, and naturally it cannot be compared to the more efficient and safer fleet breaking the engagement.

And, Dudley? Pound has captured the heart of the German fleet's broken engagement - the aircraft carrier Zeppelin!

Although this aircraft carrier is similar to the Ark Royal, there is not much difference between it and the British aircraft carrier. But other people's carrier-based aircraft are the real fatal advantage!

It is unlikely that Britain will acquire the same level of carrier-based aircraft in the short term - as for the Spitfire, it is something that has already been leaked by German spies.

More so Dudley? What Pound depressed was that even if the opponent fully understood the Spitfire, it would take at least a month or even two months to transform the ship.

And during this time, the German fleet could slip around the Atlantic at least 4 times...... How much of the transport fleet is left in the UK mainland?

"How come it is still impossible to confirm the exact location of the German fleet! They have just hit our TC fleet hard! "Dudley? Pound pinched the officer's collar and shouted loudly.

On the one hand, it was because he wanted to show Churchill on the sidelines, and on the other hand, he was really angry.

The Royal Navy fleet of the British Empire, the world's largest fleet, was played around by several German warships, and when this was spread, did Britain still want to lose face?

"Jean John? General Tovey's search fleet headed north as soon as possible to see if the German fleet was heading south! Immediately! He let go of his collar and shouted at him.

Then the commander-in-chief of the British Royal Navy, turning his head sideways to another admiral, commanded: "Tell Charles, no matter how many pilots are killed, find them as soon as possible, and catch up with the German naval fleet!" Just go! ”

If the German fleet was allowed to make trouble in the Atlantic like this, the British mainland would have to eat dirt. What's more, reconstruction and revitalization of local industries require important materials such as steel.

Without the steel and oil from the United States, the factories and workers that Britain had managed to move to the north would not be able to resume production.

The relocated factories could not be rebuilt, and the countless workers and their families who followed them north became a useless redundant population that could only consume food for nothing.

Without factories, the workers would certainly not be able to make tanks, planes, and artillery, and the British industrial system against Germany would not be able to run at full speed.

Because of the Luftwaffe's planned targeted bombing, British industry was already missing some important links due to losses.

Without the industrial system of these links, production cannot be guaranteed to continue. In this case, if there is no overseas material delivery, it will be tantamount to adding insult to injury.

For example, the advanced Spitfire fighter was destroyed because some parts suppliers of the Merlin engine production plant were destroyed, which affected the production speed of the aircraft.

Until now, the Spitfire has not been able to meet the requirements for full production. This weapon, which was already so familiar to Germany that it could no longer be familiar, is now produced at a rate of only a dozen per day.

Churchill looked at Dudley, who was going berserk? Pound felt that the war had gone in a direction beyond his control.

Originally, with the United States standing behind him, he always believed that Britain could take a back seat and enjoy peace and protection as long as it paid a part of the price and then handed over the hegemony of the world to the United States.

Unfortunately, the current situation tells the British prime minister that even if the Germans lose the war, Britain will definitely be a tattered burial object in a coffin.

Such an outcome is not what Britain wants. At this moment, Churchill was also a little shaken - what was the purpose of his resolute resistance to Germany?

Is it really to achieve the hegemony of the United States? Are you kidding? Britain was not so noble, and all Churchill wanted was a situation that was good for Britain.

Although there are many benefits for Britain to stand with the United States and win. But if it is beaten into ruins, or even cut off from sea transportation lines, then this victory is too bitter.

A victory that was too bitter, for Britain, it would be better to choose to stand with the Germans. Anyway, to be a dog, to be a German dog at least not to be beaten......

Shaking his head, Churchill drove this ridiculous idea out of his head, and he looked at the map at sea, as if trying to find the German ships with his own eyes.

Unfortunately, even if the gaze projected by his eyes was so blazing that it could ignite the map, he would not be able to see the location of the German fleet on the drawings.

"There's news! There's news! A naval officer pinched the message and ran over to attract countless eyes.

The telegram he was holding in his hand was important enough to make everyone pay attention at this time.

The officer stuffed the message in his hand to Dudley? Pound opened his mouth to report: "The carrier-based aircraft that searched south has lost news!" ”

The British were not fools, having lost a whole TC fleet, of course, they somehow figured out the movements of some of the Germans.

Not to mention anything else, how many poor sailors floating in the water, watching the German warships turn to the south, this can't be faked, right?

Moreover, the German carrier-based aircraft that shot down two British Swordfish attack planes also flew away in the direction of the south, which also corroborates the direction of the German fleet form.

Now, the only thing that cannot be determined is whether the German fleet, having traveled some distance to the south, will continue to the south, or whether it will turn the rudder and choose the east and west directions to escape.

Charles, who was already a little out of breath, couldn't take care of his reason at this time, and once again sent a carrier-based aircraft to find the German fleet with a swordfish.

Charles was already planning to determine the exact location of the German fleet by losing Swordfish. Although this will cause heavy losses to the carrier-based aircraft, there is no way to do it.

After all, the home fleet could no longer be dispersed, and this fleet could only now come together and chase behind the German fleet, reducing losses on transport routes.

In addition, as the commander of the home fleet, Charles had ordered some destroyer fleets and cruisers to cast their nets to confirm the specific course of the German fleet.

In response to the guerrilla tactics of the German fleet, the British Royal Navy, which has a strong background, intends to use the tactics of crowds this time to find and kill this annoying fleet in the vast sea.

"You can't use this method very often, you know, our fuel reserves are also very tight." Churchill listening to Dudley? Pound said that a large number of cruisers and destroyers had been dispatched, and he reluctantly instructed.

In order to accelerate the construction plan of the northern industrial zone, the UK has used a large strategic reserve of fuel oil.

Shipping was expected to make up for this overrun, but now it seems a bit too hasty.

Now, the large-scale fleet going to sea, the fuel reserves used are also staggering, and this matter is really a headache for the British naval hierarchy.

The navy is a gold-eating monster, not only because warships consume steel materials, but also because of various energy consumption.

Once a warship goes to sea, it has to fill thousands of tons of fuel. Ten warships go to sea at the same time, and tens of thousands of tons of fuel will be consumed.

Britain's strategic reserves were not much, but World War II was fought when Britain was not prepared.

Otherwise, Britain and France would not have turned a blind eye to the German invasion of Poland in '39. It was even more impossible to remain appeased towards Germany until the German invasion of France before the actual start of the war.

Therefore, at this time, when the German submarine blockade is better than in history, and the bombing of the Luftwaffe is stronger than in history, most of Britain's strategic reserves have been depleted.

"Fuel saving" has become an important topic in Churchill's cabinet, including the re-establishment of a new production base in the north of England, etc., all revolving around fuel efficiency.

What is depressing is that winter is about to begin, and the north of England is about to enter a cold winter. In this case, of course, the consumption of fuel will also enter a peak period.

At the peak, the UK will be consumed even more fuel, and if it is not replenished, there will be a double shortage of fuel and food in the UK after December.

Sadly, if you add the ammunition consumed, the shortage of supplies is even greater. This shortage would have come much earlier if Germany had begun to systematically force Britain to do more resource-consuming things......

Dudley? Pound also knew that his navy was a big oil-eater, and if he repeatedly followed the German fleet in the Atlantic, the consumption of materials would be twice as high as that of Germany.

After all, Germany could use a few warships to go to sea, but Britain could only use more warships in order to ensure the superiority of its forces to intercept Germany.

This tripled oil consumption, and the destruction of supply lines in the UK's oil-producing regions made the problems facing the UK itself even worse.

"Germans, they won't land at this time, will they?" As if with a hint of fear, the commander of the British naval fleet looked at Churchill and asked in a whisper.
