When Anthony took his leave, Churchill politely sent him out of the door, and then returned to the small living room with a calm face, his wife Clementina Hozier knew that Churchill was under great pressure during this period because of the German attack on the fleet. So she smiled at him and brought him a glass of milk.

"Winston, the Germans are making you angry again?" Clementina asked with a gentle smile, she generally didn't care too much about Churchill's work, but if Churchill's mood was obvious, she knew that she needed to find a way to help him get rid of it.

"It's none of the Germans' business." Churchill said fiercely, "The Germans are our enemies, they are nothing more than fighting for their country." I wish I could kill them all at once, but I don't hate them. But...... I've never seen anyone so brazen! ”

At this, Churchill's voice trembled.

"Well, Winston, are you angry at the man who just came?" Clementina asked, "What did he do?" ”

"That damn traitor! The scum of the British! Clementina didn't mention that Anthony, who had just left, was fine, as soon as he was mentioned, the image of that guy immediately appeared in Churchill's mind, and he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and stood up suddenly, "This dog bastard who deserves to go to hell!" He jerked the glass in his hand to the ground. The glass shattered immediately. Half of the milk was spilled everywhere.

A maid heard the voice and walked to the door, and Clementina smiled at her and said, "Winston accidentally knocked over the cup." You're just in time to help clean up the ground, and Winston, be careful not to step on the broken glass. ”

The maid silently retreated, and after a while, she walked in softly with her tools, cleaned all the glass shards on the floor, and then wiped the floor clean, and silently retreated again.

"I'm sorry, Clementina, I'm so excited. Didn't scare you, did you? Churchill calmed himself down and said apologetically to his wife.

"Winston, can he be your wife, will he be a coward?" Clementina smiled playfully at him, leaned over and took his hand and sat down on the couch.

"Clementina, you know, I hate people who are not loyal to their country the most." Churchill shook Clementina's hand and said, "That Anthony is still an English aristocrat, but everyone knows that he is actually the spokesman for the American hypocrite." You know, the warships that are now being used against us were sold to them by the American hypocrite, and even their atrophied means of warfare were taught to them by the American hypocrite. And that American hypocrite now has that damned traitor to peddle to us on his behalf what is supposed to be against the Germans. And...... In short, that damn Yankee made the Germans kill us more efficiently to make the Germans money, and then came to 'help' us kill the Germans efficiently to make us money! And which traitor still ......"

Clementina just smiled and looked at Churchill without speaking, knowing that Churchill's emotions had been released......

……

Two weeks later, four more destroyers joined the fleet in search of the German assault fleet in the waters of the Atlantic. The destroyers were equipped with the latest equipment used to track the radio signals of the Germans, radiolocators.

The German raiding ships were inseparable from their radio contact with their successful and continuous attacks on targets. When a convoy of cargo ships departs from a certain port, the German spies lurking in the port will use the radio station to send out the relevant information about the fleet, and then there are German submarines in many places on the route. In many cases, submarines will find the fleet, but they may not be able to occupy the attack position and launch an attack, and if they cannot complete the attack, they will also send a message to the escort fleet by telegram, and then the German naval command that receives the telegram will send a telegram to the surface fleet to coordinate the activities of the surface fleet. Because of the telegraph transmission distance, there would also be a number of submarines that acted as a transit point between the German raiding fleet and the European continent. In order to ensure that messages are not missed, the time for which messages travel between them is relatively fixed. So, by analyzing the pattern of the Germans' telegrams, it is possible to analyze which of these telegrams were sent by the raiding fleet. And when they send their reports, they use radiolocators to determine their general direction.

The Germans used shortwave radios, which were skywaves, that is, they were transmitted by the reflection of the ionosphere. Because of the reflection, the radiolocators give the direction is not accurate, however, they can at least give an approximate direction. In order to better determine the position of the German fleet, the British needed to get the Germans to send more telegrams, and each interception of these telegrams could provide the British fleet with an opportunity to update the position of the German fleet.

So the British organized a convoy of thirty-five merchant ships, two cruisers, and three destroyers, and set out from Boston and sailed mightily towards England.

This fleet is particularly cunning, accelerating and decelerating many times along the way, and changing course many times. As a result, the submarines deployed by the Germans on this route needed to send out new messages on a regular basis, and the raiding fleet often needed to communicate with the command by telegram. In this way, the British naval fleet, guided by these radio waves, gradually approached the position of the German fleet.

……

It's September now, and the sea breeze in the Atlantic is already a little cold. This is especially true when you stay at altitudes of up to two hundred meters. Sergeant Orel was dressed in a cotton suit, but he was shivering with cold in the balloon's basket. He held up his binoculars and looked in all directions. Suddenly, he noticed that there seemed to be something near the horizon over there......

"Discover the German warship!" Sergeant Orel shouted into the microphone, "At ten o'clock, a German warship was found!" ”

……

Rear Admiral Hood's fleet began to accelerate, and according to the report of Sergeant Orel on the balloon just now, the enemy should have only one battle cruiser, as well as three cruisers. And he had two battle cruisers in his fleet, in addition to five cruisers and six destroyers. Overwhelming over the Germans. Moreover, the Germans were still sailing at economic speed because they had not yet discovered Hood's fleet, so Rear Admiral Hood was quite sure that he would catch up with them and destroy them.

The only thing that made Rear Admiral Hood regret was that there was only one battle cruiser in this German fleet, and as far as he knew, on this route, the Chinese had two battle cruisers, and the British had prepared such a big bait before, in order to fish out these two damned battle cruisers in one go. However, only one battlecruiser was spotted at this time. This really made Major General Hood feel depressed.

Of course, if the enemy really had two battle cruisers, it seemed that they could fight Hood's fleet, but Hood believed that even if the other side had two battle cruisers, they would definitely not be the match for his own fleet. This is not only out of confidence in the invincible Royal Navy, but also because the composition of their fleet is more reasonable, and it will naturally have stronger combat effectiveness.

In Rear Admiral Hood's fleet there were more auxiliary ships, that is, more cruisers and destroyers. If these ships were to face the German battle cruisers alone, they would probably have little chance, but they would be torn to pieces by the opponent's huge guns before they could get close enough to make their guns work. However, on the premise that they also had battle cruisers, the main guns on the German battle cruisers had to be used to fire at the British battle cruisers. Because neither the British nor the German battlecruisers are, by their very nature, nothing more than an egg jumping around with a hammer. Neither of them could withstand the enemy's shelling, and if the Germans dared to shoot at the British auxiliary ships with their main guns first, the British battlecruisers would be able to fire at the Germans' capital ships without dodging at all, and then adjust them according to the landing point, and then come back again. In this way, the accuracy of the opponent's shelling will become very high, and then, perhaps, the German battlecruisers will die faster than the British ones.

But if the Germans did not attack the British cruisers with their main guns, but only used secondary guns to confront the cruisers, then the British cruisers would be able to approach and wash the superstructure of the German battle cruisers with their own naval guns. Although the six-inch guns of the British cruisers could not penetrate the main armor belt of the German battlecruisers, not all places on the warship could withstand the fire of such naval guns, not to mention a battlecruiser with weak defense, that is, a battleship with a comprehensive defense, and many things on the deck, such as rangefinders, such as many places in the bridge part, such as the secondary gun turret, could not withstand the attack of the six-inch guns. And the damage to these parts will also greatly reduce the combat effectiveness of the battlecruiser. Not to mention the fact that there are several destroyers in his fleet.

The so-called destroyers of this era are basically ocean-going fish. Mineboats. The displacement of these warships is only about 1,200 tons, and the main guns are only four inches. But it can carry a lot of fish. Ray, while the German battlecruisers were busy fighting with the British battlecruisers and cruisers, these little things had every chance to rush up and fish . Thunder paste German warship face.

Fish. The lethality of the thunder was even much more than the main guns of the battleships, so once these little things launched the fish. Thunder attacked, and the Germans had to immediately turn to fish. The laser comes in the direction to reduce the length of the projection in the transverse direction and reduce the being fished. Risk of lightning strikes. Because if it is fished. Thunder hits, and when confronting the opponent's battlecruisers, this is a fatal blow. But to do so would disrupt the original rhythm of the shelling. The efficiency of shelling the enemy will naturally be a mess. Because of this advantage, Major General Hood is full of confidence in his victory.
