Although Karl I's voice was not loud, his words revealed an unquestionable tone. It is clear that on this issue, he has already decided.

"In that case, Your Majesty, we will have a long detour. I'm afraid we don't have enough supplies to carry with us! "Anton? Admiral House said. The speed of supply ships is generally not fast, so Anton? Admiral House this time picked two newly-built supply ships. In this way, you will be able to keep up with the speed of the fleet. Each warship also carried as much fuel and other supplies as possible to ensure that the fleet could reach the United States. If you want to go to the Indian Ocean through the Suez Canal and then go around the Cape of Good Hope, you will have to go a long way. Their supplies are simply not enough to support the arrival of the fleet.

"Get in touch with the Americans! Let them prepare supplies for us. If our fleet can reach the United States safely, the Americans will definitely be willing to help us. Karl I said.

Anton? Admiral House nodded, if the Austro-Hungarian Navy could reach the United States unharmed, it would be very advantageous for the United States. Let the Americans prepare some supplies for the Austro-Hungarian Navy, and the Americans will naturally be extremely willing.

"Your Majesty, do you want the U.S. Navy to go south to the Cape of Good Hope to meet us?" Anton? Admiral House said.

"It depends. The main fleet of the US Navy is in the eastern Atlantic, and if the Germans can be delayed, let them stay in the eastern Atlantic. If the Germans go south to intercept us, they will go further south. Also, we don't necessarily have to go to the Cape of Good Hope. If the Germans were too strong, we would have crossed the Indian Ocean, entered the South Pacific, then crossed the South Pacific into the Atlantic, and then from the South Atlantic to the north, to the United States! The more Karl I spoke, the more excited he became, as if he was glad that he had been able to think of such a good solution.

Anton? Admiral House's brows furrowed together. If you really follow the last route that Karl I said, it would have gone around a very large circle, almost half the world. However, he had to admit that it would be safer then. The ocean is infinitely vast, and it is very difficult to find even a large fleet in it. At that time, it will be very difficult for the German Navy to pursue the Austro-Hungarian Navy.

"Yes, Your Majesty, just do as you say!" Anton? Admiral House, not dwelling on this issue.

Karl I breathed a sigh of relief: "In this case, as long as our fleet has access to the Indian Ocean, the Germans will not be able to catch up with us." The rest of the voyage will be the most dangerous. ”

"Your Majesty, it will not be so easy for the Germans to catch up with us. We set out overnight, and even if the Germans were to find out that the fleet was missing, they would have to wait until tomorrow. By then, we will not be far from the exit from the Adriatic. If the main force of the German Navy had arrived from near Gibraltar, it would have taken time. "Anton? Admiral House said.

Karl I nodded, with Anton? Admiral House prayed to God in an inaudible voice: "May God bless me and bless the Austro-Hungarian Navy!" ”

Although, Karl I showed great piety. But, all along, it was as if God had never blessed him at all, as if he had forgotten him completely.

The movements of the Austro-Hungarian navy were the object of constant attention of the German navy. Emperor Qin Tian had already issued an order to wipe out the Austro-Plenum Navy in the Mediterranean. Therefore, the German Navy will gather three fleets, the Home Fleet, the Mediterranean Fleet and the Indian Ocean Fleet, ready to eat the Austro-Hungarian Navy in one fell swoop.

Because the aircraft carrier fleet is to stay in the Atlantic, against the US Navy. Therefore, the operation against the Austro-Hungarian navy was thought to be handed over only to the capital ships of the fleet. And this will also be the largest duel between capital ships since the last world war. As for whether there will be a large-scale capital ship duel in the future, it is difficult to say. After all, the German Navy has already determined plans for the development of the future Navy with aircraft carriers as the core. And other countries may not slow down their exploration in this field. Therefore, in the future naval battle, it is likely that aircraft carriers will be used as the main force. The role of the capital ship will be greatly reduced, which will also make the capital ship take a back seat to the second line.

The three major fleets of the German Navy were assembled, and the number of capital ships alone was 22, which was eight more than the Austro-Hungarian Navy. Moreover, every capital ship of the German Navy was stronger than the capital ships of the Austro-Hungarian Navy. Not to mention, there were four 'Caesar-class' battleships armed with 410 mm guns. It can be said that with the strength of the German Navy, which has gathered three major fleets, it is completely dominated by the Austro-Hungarian Navy.

Because the Austro-Hungarian navy left at night, the German spies did not find out at the first time.

When the next day dawned, German spies secretly landed on a hill near the naval base in Trieste and found that the harbor was empty, and all the Austro-Hungarian naval warships that had been moored on the dock had disappeared.

"Hell! The fleet of the Austro-Hungarian Navy, when did it go? Yesterday evening, they were still in the harbor. Damn, they escaped last night! The spy couldn't help but yell.

Immediately, he did not hesitate to expose it, and immediately sent a telegram to the country.

When the telegram was sent to the Secretary of the Admiralty, Reinhardt? In the hands of Marshal Schell, Reinhardt? Marshal Scheer's face also changed drastically. He immediately ordered a telegram to be sent to the main fleet of the German Navy gathered in the Mediterranean, ordering them to march immediately towards the Adriatic Sea and prepare to intercept the Austro-Plenum Navy, which could sink them if it did not surrender!

On the battleship Caesar, the flagship of the German Navy's Home Fleet, Admiral Hipper, the commander of the Home Fleet, was also the commander of the combined fleet of three fleets.

Admiral Hipper received Reinhardt? Immediately after the telegram sent back by Admiral Scheer, an order was given to the entire combined fleet.

"Order all warships, go now! The Austro-Hungarian navy set off last night, we need to catch up, block them, and then finish them all! Admiral Hipper ordered.

As for the surrender of the Austro-Hungarian Navy, Admiral Hipper knew that it was unrealistic. The Austro-Hungarian navy would not surrender, so they had to deal with them.
