Chapter 843: Weak Period

That's right, if Malaya and the war-weary had run into the Suchon fleet again, the Suchsion fleet would have definitely fought. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info But the question is, can you run into it? This time will be delayed, and if the most powerful rapid detachment cannot return overseas, then the prince thinks that he will not be able to make a big news in the North Sea.

Now, Ruprecht thinks that the current situation is very close to his expectations, as long as he determines the next actions of the queens, and then makes Hippel more arrogant, then he can act! As for the British Grand Fleet? Hehe, being at the northernmost point of the North Sea naturally blocked Germany's access to the Atlantic, but at the same time, if something happens to the south of the North Sea, will you be in time?

The British fleet was spread out in three places, with Jericho's Grand Fleet at anchorage in the northernmost Shetland Islands. In the middle of Forth there was Betty's fleet of battlecruisers, and in the south there was the Halwich fleet and the Channel fleet. And this time, the prince plans to find Betty's bad luck. Some people may say that looking for Betty's bad luck will not make the main force of the High Seas Fleet dispatch, right? In the battle of Jutland in history, didn't Hippert put Betty into obedience? If it weren't for Thomas, Betty might have hung up herself.

But in fact, even without Thomas, if the British really wanted to take offensive actions, then at least one receiving fleet, maybe one battleship detachment, maybe two, would have been arranged. It's not enough to rely on Hipper, after all, no matter how fierce the German battleships are, you can't pick two on the same level of battleship. What's more, it was so easy to seize this opportunity and not leave some profound lessons to the British, how could the prince be willing? Of course, Hipper also had his own mission, and the prince would not let the formation of the most elite battlecruisers in the world lie down in the harbor!

As for it, is this opportunity hard to come by? Naturally, even if the Su Xiong fleet survived this catastrophe, it would probably not be easy for the prince to find such a good opportunity again! Some people may say that it is impossible for the British to let go of the Su-Xiong fleet, the British are gone, and after the Su-Xiong fleet returns, there will be two good men after repairing it for a few months, and the Entente will not have to divide troops to deal with it?

That's right, the Entente is going to continue to deal with it, but this time it may not be the British, but the Japanese! After all, the Suxiong fleet robbed not only the British and French ships, but also the Japanese by the way, after all, if the Entente could not win the war, then the German Far Eastern colonies that Japan had eaten before the war would have to be spit out! What if I don't spit it out? Do the Japanese seek death against virtue at the same time? Historically, the Japanese have provided escort for the Allied fleets, and now, the relationship between Japan and Britain and France has become closer, and the Japanese are still very clear about the issue of national fortunes!

Therefore, the reason why the prince asked the Admiralty to keep an eye on the Japanese fleet is for this purpose, and even said that whether the Suxiong fleet can escape now is fundamentally because of whether the Japanese reacted quickly this time! If the Japanese respond quickly and send the main force of the Combined Fleet to the Indian Ocean, then the Suxiong Fleet will really be unable to escape. Returning to Germany is a dream, and the best outcome is to go to a neutral port, sink the warship, wait for the neutral to take it in, and then wait until the war is over. Or how many more Japanese warships to fight in a certain naval battle?

Of course, this probability is not very high. If the queens are lions, then the Suxiong fleet is at least a tiger, and the Japanese King Kong and others are also a leopard. Even if a tiger is slightly injured, the leopard may not be able to escape with its whole body. Therefore, the Japanese will definitely hesitate, and the senior officials of the Japanese Admiralty will definitely consider the question of "what to do if the battleship is damaged."

By the way, there is also the issue of the exchange of interests. In order to "hire" the Bavarian legion, the Austro-Hungarian Empire gave Princess Mary a position of Grand Duke with real power and Bohemia and Moravia. If the British wanted to "hire" the Japanese Combined Fleet, then what price would they offer? The prince did not know, but the prince was sure that the price would definitely be much higher than what Fritz gave to Bavaria! And this kind of transfer of interests is not something that can be done in two sentences!

"So do you have any other instructions for the Suchon fleet?" The naval officer in charge of liaison on the side asked.

"They've done a great job and I couldn't have asked more for them. As long as in the end the two battleships did not fall into the hands of the Entente. At the same time let them be wary of the Japanese. The prince replied very simply. In addition, I hope that the East African side will be prepared to deal with it, such as supplies and some basic maintenance. ā€

"Are you sure that General Su Xiong will go to East Africa with the fleet?" The officer asked with some curiosity.

"Maybe, maybe not, but it's always right to be prepared. If that really doesn't work, the Su-Xiong fleet can leave the Indian Ocean and wait for the end of the war in a neutral country in the Americas. Well, so be it. ā€

"By the way, and one more thing to add, don't we still have some ships with American flags? I hope they can move and help Suxiong's fleet in any way they can, I remember that these ships have Ennig cipher machines, and now we can consider activating them. ā€

Ruprecht also did his best for Su Xiong and his fleet, providing supplies and support as much as possible, regardless of what happened in the end, the prince could say that he had a clear conscience. As for whether the Su Xiong fleet can escape, it really depends on their own level and luck.

It is impossible for the prince to keep an eye on the situation of Su Xiong's fleet, because now, or in the near future, the big drama in the North Sea is about to begin! For this reason, the prince had to put down his work and at the same time say goodbye to his family and go to the port of Kiel, the prince, who had already commanded several land battles, this time to command naval battles, to experience the thrill of "a few hours can decide the fate of a country"!

At the same time, on Thomas's new flagship, the Malaya, Thomas, who had been exhausted and exhausted from a day's fighting, did not rest, because just half an hour earlier, Rear Admiral Kuhl had come to the Malaya, and the arrival of the Rear Admiral, who was nominally an assistant to himself, but who was actually speaking directly to the Admiralty, was of great significance at this time. He even said that his own answer and Rear Admiral Kuhl's opinion will directly determine the future operation of the hunting fleet, as well as the Royal Admiralty's evaluation of itself.

If Thomas wants to continue with the unfinished business of this campaign, then he must be approved by Major General Kuhl, or at least keep him neutral!
