Chapter 147: Prognosis
In fact, Princess Elizabeth went to the wrong room, the wrong bed, and the wood was good! Elizabeth really began to feel for Li Mo when Li Mo scored two goals with her, simply put, Elizabeth was conquered by Li Mo with **. In the eyes of the queen, this becomes their princess with vision, okay! It was also a gift from God, and Elizabeth did not go to an old man's bed.
"Your Majesty, it's better to keep this matter secret for now, and when the time comes, let's give Hitler a salary."
"Uh-huh...... You ordered the home fleet to be on guard not to be attacked by Germany under the guise of exercises. ”
"Understood, Your Majesty, I will go and order the home fleet to get ready."
……
Li Mo also had no experience in naval warfare, so he continued to sail according to the original plan, but in the second week, according to the staff officers' calculations, Li Mo and they should have encountered Raeder's fleet at this time, but Li Mo did not find a trace of Raeder's fleet, what is the situation, Li Mo was puzzled, and hurriedly convened several main commanders to discuss:
"Everyone, I will gather you here today, I have one question, that is, we sail according to the established route, according to the calculation, we will encounter the Raeder fleet today, but our carrier-based aircraft have searched the range of three hundred nautical miles, and still have not found the slightest trace of the Raeder fleet, why this situation occurs, let's analyze the reason."
Stephen followed up on Li Mo's words:
"Could it be that the fleet led by Marshal Raeder did not follow the established course, and thus missed out with us."
Li Mo thought for a moment and said to Stephen:
"According to the rules of the exercise, if one side does not follow the established route, so that the two fleets miss the engagement, then the side that changes the course will automatically give up the game, so in the case of Marshal Raeder occupying absolute strength, will Marshal Raeder choose to avoid the battle? Obviously not, even if Marshal Raeder divides his forces, then there must be a fleet following the established route, in this case, why haven't we found any trace of Raeder's fleet? ”
The commander of the destroyer fleet, Hahn, went on to say:
"Could it be that a ship in Raeder's fleet broke down and stopped to rest?"
"It's impossible, then Marshal Raeder will immediately abandon that warship, it is impossible to drag down the entire fleet for that warship, could it be that Marshal Raeder deliberately slowed down the ship in order to cooperate with his submarine operations? You must know that the speed of the submarine on the surface is also about 17 knots, which is only half the speed of a surface ship. Submarine commander Jerry replied to Hahn's words, and after listening to Jerry's analysis, Li Mo felt that it was likely to be so.
Li Mo stood up and walked to the map, and pondered carefully, Li Mo's aircraft carrier formation is not afraid of Raeder's giant ship cannons, and it is completely possible to use the method of flying a kite to hang Raeder to fight, but his father-in-law's submarine is the biggest threat to Li Mo's aircraft carrier formation, could it be that Marshal Raeder deliberately slowed down the ship in order to cooperate with his father-in-law's wolf pack tactics, Li Mo understood.
"I see, it must be Marshal Raeder who deliberately slowed down his fleet and then let his submarine formation move forward, and Marshal Raeder wanted to use the wolf pack tactics of submarines against us. Raeder estimated that even if we had enough anti-submarine capabilities, we would be embarrassed by these thirty or so submarines, and at this time their main fleet would arrive and annihilate us in one fell swoop, which must be the case. ”
"Ahh …… What can I do? ”
Although the following commanders and Li Mo are brothers, they are not optimistic about such an exercise with a huge gap in strength, in their opinion, Li Mo is impossible to win, and they have no experience in submarine tactics, and the anti-submarine means at this time are very limited, mainly because there is no sonar artifact.
"Okay, Prime Minister, let's go a hundred nautical miles in the direction of the Pacific Ocean, and then wait for the rabbit there, the planes sent out to search remain within three hundred nautical miles of searching, the remaining destroyers, submarines, helicopters and planes all search the sea within thirty nautical miles, U2 submarines can't stay in the water for a long time, they will surface to recharge, as long as we find their submarines, then the Raeder fleet will not be far away, commanders, your next task is anti-submarine, as soon as you find a local submarine, Call for air support immediately. ”
When Hitler and the German high-level saw Limer's telegram, they all felt that Ondel's kid was still quite flexible, and he actually saw that Marshal Raeder wanted to use submarines against him, and Marshal Raeder's methods and steps to use submarines were also guessed by the kid Ondel, that is, the trick sent by Marshal Raeder to copy his back road had not been guessed by Limer.
In fact, although everyone is not optimistic about Li Mo, Li Mo can have this strategic analysis ability, and has been recognized by all the senior executives of the high command, including Hitler, who believes that Li Mo is a rare strategic command genius.
The left side of the aircraft carrier formation was two hundred nautical miles away from the coastline, and the outflanking detachment sent by Raeder happened to pass 350 nautical miles away from the established route. Raeder had already calculated that the range of carrier-based aircraft was generally 350 kilometers, which means that the search range of Limer's aircraft carrier formation was 300 kilometers at most, while Raeder's outflanking detachment passed from a distance of 350 nautical miles from the established route, so that Limer's aircraft carrier formation would not find Raeder's outflanking fleet.
Now as soon as Li Mo's aircraft carrier formation turns 90 degrees, this distance is rapidly approaching, and after Li Mo sails out of 100 nautical miles, the distance between his aircraft carrier formation and Raeder's outflanking detachment is 250 nautical miles, which is just within the search range of carrier-based aircraft, at this time, more than 20 ships led by Vice Admiral Rutte are just about to pass through this area, and such a huge fleet is soon discovered by search planes in the air.
This is the unpredictable factor in the war, some accidental factors are big enough to change the outcome of the war, this time the situation is similar, of course, if Li Mo is successfully outflanked by Rutte, it will be a little troublesome, but Li Mo is confident that he will jump out of the encirclement of Marshal Raeder, of course, it is best to find Marshal Raeder's "conspiracy".
When Li Mo sent the order to turn 90 degrees and drive a hundred nautical miles to the headquarters, these people were shocked again, could it be that this Ondel is the son of God, and Raeder's secret outflanking tactics have been discovered? But they didn't see the telegram that Limer suspected Raeder was preparing to outflank.
