Things are constantly changing, and this is true for everything, and the British are acting without concealment, and the movement is so great that it is certainly impossible to hide it from anyone, and this is clear not only to the British, but also to the Germans.

Six days ago, after encountering the opposing side's blocking fleet, Scheer forcibly broke through, and after that, reported the position, at that time, the Admiralty was already nervous.

The one who traveled a hundred miles was half ninety, and when Scheer returned to the plan before, the German Admiralty was not unprepared at all, although because of the weakness of the High Seas Fleet, it was pressed by the British in the Baltic Sea, and the High Seas Fleet could not get out at all unless it fought hard with the British fleet.

After the return of the Scheer fleet, the High Seas Fleet was ready to fight desperately with the British, but not now, this time is desperate, just a vain attrition, it may be in the hands of the British, and it will only be used when it meets with the Scheer fleet at the last time.

Since there is not much that the German side can do, then it must be strengthened from other aspects, breaking through the defenses near West Africa, and Schell also knows that the intensive defense in the English Channel, he can't, and can't go through the English Channel, so the return can only take a detour, bypassing from the west of Britain, it will go around more than 600 nautical miles, and it has gone deep into the depths of the Atlantic, and it is impossible for Britain to deploy more patrol ships, even if it rushes, it can rush through.

But there is a premise that the British will not be discovered, and the various departments of Germany have been watching the British moves, the two sides are too close, and they are densely packed with all kinds of spies, these spies. Perhaps it is not possible to get to the bottom of it, and the British cannot hide it from anyone on a large scale, and they do not intend to hide it.

It is necessary to encircle and suppress a powerful new fleet with 9 capital ships, especially the kind of combat effectiveness shown in Southeast Asia, although there is no complete battle report. But to be able to annihilate so many former fearless, or in a short period of time, these cutting-edge warships may be very strong, in a sea area of more than 10,000 square kilometers, if you want to find them, it is impossible not to mobilize them on a large scale.

On the morning of December 11, there was a sudden and large number of changes on the British side, and a large number of ships were transferred throughout the military port. Some small ships set off directly, large battleships also began to refuel, and some capital ships began to go out.

If this is not enough to explain the problem, then the home fleet, which has been raging in the Baltic Sea, has all shrunk on a large scale, and it has shrunk to the mouth of the Baltic Sea. Almost 25 ships were left there, maintaining a blockade of the Baltic Sea. The remaining 20 ships, all of which left the Baltic Sea.

During this time, Britain had been taking advantage of the superiority of ships to constantly squeeze Germany's space in the Baltic Sea, and they were divided into two teams, each of which was much more than Germany's high seas fleet, and now retreated. Leaving 25 ships to hold the Baltic Sea and prevent the German high seas fleet from coming out, then, there is only one such action, and Scheer's fleet has already been discovered. 20 were used against Scheer's capital ships.

More than 20 capital ships, against the fleet of 9 Scheer, who is strong and who is weak, basically, can be judged, the most important thing is that Scheer came from thousands of miles away, although with the help of the supply ships in the northwest has completed the supply work, cleaned the deck, replaced some things that went wrong, and added fuel and supplies, it cannot be said to be a tired division, but it has also sailed for tens of thousands of nautical miles, and the entire fleet of more than 10,000 officers and men has not rested.

Britain is also quite filial to them, at least more than 20 capital ships, more than double the strength, so that Germany has no bottom in his heart, the high seas fleet can not rush out of the Baltic Sea, at most near the mouth of the Baltic Sea, the mouth of the sea, can not place enough warships, even if it attacks, it can not fight, when the Scheer fleet is still a certain distance from the Baltic Sea, the high seas fleet must maintain strength.

The fleet can't get out, so is there anything that can help the Scheer fleet? Yes, the strength of the search for the German army is really there, it is not restricted by land and sea, it is not afraid of the blockade of the Entente, and it is the airship force that can enter and exit freely.

If it is in China, the scope of the airship force's activities will be reduced, the territory is too huge, it is often thousands of kilometers, even if the airship ignores the terrain, it is not easy to fly over, but Europe, especially Western Europe, is really a little too small, from Paris, France to London, England, that is, about 100 kilometers, from the German mainland, to be exact, if you take off off the coast of France, it is only an hour or two to London, and it is relatively dangerous to enter the skies over the enemy country, but for the sake of Scheer's fleet, you can't take care of it. Britain cannot be allowed to act in all directions.

1,200 airships, divided into 2 teams, began to bomb Britain in turn, including both military ports and London, at this moment Germany can no longer take care of it, even if there are more than a dozen losses every day, they must stick to this, at least, can not let the British airships leave Britain, nor can they make the coastal ports better.

Before the bombing with the help of airships, because of the fear of too much loss, now regardless of the cost, it shows the advantages of Germany, in the battle of Paris, with the help of the airship in the northwest, killed a large number of British and French airships, the unique situation of the airship, so that he is rarely completely destroyed, even if it lands, it will ensure that most of it is complete, and then as long as some separate airbags are replaced, after adding helium, you can fly again, after this war, the German airship, not only did not decrease, but improved a lot, for the Entente was in an overwhelming position.

After the Battle of Paris, in half a year, the Entente supplemented a part of the airships with the help of the United States, but this number is really not much, less than 300 now, only a quarter of the German airships, with 1200 ships, dragging the other side 300 ships, just the first day, in the sky over London, there were 3 large-scale airship battles, both sides suffered losses on each other, but relatively speaking, Britain's losses were greater.

In addition to the attack between the airships, the bombing was also carried out, for the sake of the Scheer fleet, Germany also showed all its skills, in one day, Germany dropped 20,000 tons of bombs over London, blowing up more than 1,000 buildings, and countless casualties.

The British knew that the Germans were desperate, and Scheer's fleet was the tail of the Germans, and once it was annihilated, the spirit of the Germans would be dealt a huge blow, and it would also be a huge boost to the Entente.

For tens of thousands of square kilometers of sea area, the length and width are hundreds of kilometers, using ships to search, the efficiency is too slow, using airships is the best choice, the British airships, this is preparation, when the search fleet reaches a certain position will be sent out, Germany's sudden action, changed the next action, to deal with airships, the best way is airships, intensive bombing has greatly hit the morale of Britain, can not ignore the bombing of airship troops, let Germany move.

After the Battle of Paris, the Allies noticed the anti-aircraft machine guns, and also made certain modifications to the existing light and heavy machine guns, and barely obtained the anti-aircraft machine guns with a range of 1500 meters, no matter how high it is, the German airships are quite cautious, even if they have the ability to go deep, they will not be reduced to below 2500 meters, even if the hit rate is too low, it is the same, it must be safe, God knows what is underground, fortunately, London is big enough, I have done more in-depth investigations before, and most of them are important targets in military or civilian use.

Following the Battle of Paris, the largest airship offensive and defensive battle was opened in the sky over London, Germany took turns, and Britain could only rely on airships to take off to resist, hundreds of airships killed in the air, and the search fleet could not send airships, but only by relying on the strength of the Entente ships themselves, to search, which left a glimmer of opportunity for the Scheer fleet.

On this side of the English Channel, the British deployed at least 2,000 ships of various types, plus military ships, almost 3,000 ships, and they divided them into different parts to search throughout the North Sea.

Of course, it will not be a carpet search, such a carpet search will not have much effect on the huge North Sea and the western Pacific, the main warships are not separated, but are just on standby between the Atlantic Ocean and the Baltic Sea, and they can go to any place they find as fast as possible, and the rest can only rely on various detachments to search

However, with the experience of the last time, the British arranged quite exquisitely, in the design, almost every group of fleets, will meet within 6 hours, once they can't meet, they must be uploaded through various methods, so that even if there is a problem, you can also feedback in another day, when the time comes, continue to squeeze and find the position of the other party.

This is also a lesson learned from the previous West Africa, if the search front arranged in West Africa can be used in this way, they can determine a more precise range, no matter how much they run in a day, they will not be able to run far, as is the case now, in an area of more than 400 nautical miles in length and width.

In the northern part of the North Sea, a fleet of 20 capital ships and more than 50 other warships is moving at high speed, and his commander Betty is standing on the flagship Lion, in order to encircle and suppress the Scheer fleet, the main fleet has divided a part of the high-speed battleships and battle cruisers into 20 ships, in order to catch up with the speed of the Scheer fleet, however, according to the plan, they need to reach the Baltic Strait and the center of the possible position of Scheer, and then wait for news. (To be continued.) )
