The Scheer fleet has made a desperate bet and rushed towards the Baltic Sea, in the distance of hundreds of nautical miles, it is not easy to get information from the other side, in this sea area, the density of British ships is quite large, with the previous lesson, they dare not come forward, find the Scheer fleet, the first choice is to turn around and run.

At this time, Scheer's fleet can only race against time, no matter how many British ships are sunk at this time, it will be useless, as long as it cannot return to the Baltic Sea, all the results are equal to zero, anyway, these ships, for him, there is not much threat, if he can sink it, he will kill it, and if he can't sink it, forget it. It is this mentality that allows Schell to quickly advance towards the Baltic Sea, but on the other hand, he cannot hide himself.

About 50 minutes later, in the command tower of the Lion, Betty sighed when he got the last news, he lost, he was in a position of pursuit, he was at a disadvantage, it was easy to be thrown off by the other party, plus the other party knew everything about him, this was the advantage of the other party. With the help of the relationship between the night, he got rid of those airships, but the speed of the ship of about 25 knots is still different from the speed of the airship of 70 kilometers, plus the other party is also a famous general, many of his ideas have been seen through by the other party, and those airships only took a small amount of time to find him, which is proof.

Scheer's fleet has such and such advantages, but the British army also has it, on the whole, he still has the upper hand, but he still loses like this, which makes Betty a little frustrated, in the 3-day pursuit battle, every time he feels that he has caught up, but it is further apart, even if he has determined Scheer's ultimate goal, but the other party still throws him dozens of nautical miles. He will rush to the Baltic Sea first.

Admitting defeat doesn't mean giving up, and Betty has never been a coward. Until the last moment, I will not give up easily. Now it's just an hour and a half, as long as the arrangement is reasonable, it should be feasible, there is still Jericho's fleet ahead, he chose to take 15 warships with him before, leaving more Jericho's warships, the less likely it is to fail.

However, the other party was too cunning, and the three-day chase with Scheer. has made Betty see Scheer as a person of the same grade as him, if such a person really plays tricks, let alone an hour and a half, even if it is half an hour, he can do a lot of work.

Betty started from what he could think of, carefully thought about what Scheer could do, and in order to remind Jericho, Betty specially sent a pillar to bring a message to Jericho. A clear account of his fears, that is, the need to defend the Baltic Sea estuary. In any case, it is necessary to hold on to the mouth of the Baltic Sea, and the capital ships must not be separated. With a thick formation of 30 battleships, the entrance to the Baltic Sea was completely blocked, even if the German High Seas Fleet came. Nor can it be divided into troops, with minelayers. Destroyers and light cruisers, against them with torpedoes and mines. As long as they were dragged for an hour and a half, or even an hour, the Scheer fleet was solved.

This is a plan to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle, it seems stupid, but it finds another way, and uses the flexibility to deal with Scheer, which is precisely the death hole of Scheer, no matter what, Scheer achieves any results, he needs to return, only return, the German High Seas Fleet, can have the ability to compete with the British army, which is also the fundamental reason why Scheer's fleet still has to return alone in such a dangerous situation.

This plan hits the nail on the head, if Jericho listens to Betty and does what Betty says, Even if Scheer won 1.5 hours, he could only leave in vain, otherwise, there would be a danger of annihilation, even if the 9 cutting-edge warships were strong in combat, they would never be able to break through the thick defense line composed of 30 warships of the opponent, and the response of the High Seas Fleet might be able to deal a heavy blow to the opponent's light patrol formation, as long as the other side had the determination to die and entangled the High Seas Fleet, the combat effectiveness of the High Seas Fleet would not be able to turn with the Scheer Fleet in 1.5 hours.

This is the most critical thing, when the high seas fleet and the Scheer fleet are still two parts, the Scheer fleet is likely to be surrounded by the other side, when the time comes, the Scheer fleet may only choose to flee and return to this path, at the last moment, the door is closed, and there will be no better opportunity in the future.

Perhaps, with the help of the excellent performance of 9 warships, Scheer can keep 9 ships safe, but he can't return to the motherland, can't return to the port, can only become a wandering fleet, even if there is a Chinese supply fleet, but those fleets can't replace the dockyard and shipyard after all, even if they can harass the Entente, the strength will only get weaker and weaker, and finally the fate will end, which is one of the worst results of Scheer's return, which is what he doesn't want to see.

Betty thought of everything, and also made the most exquisite plan, in his opinion, as long as this plan is implemented, even if the Scheer fleet performs very well in 3 days, it will not be able to run, and then all the losses will be paid for, as long as the Scheer fleet is taken, or in other words, the intention of the Scheer fleet to make peace with the high seas fleet is crushed, the British Navy has achieved a strategic advantage, any plan can be better implemented, and the balance of war will be tilted in favor of the Entente.

Betty thought about it well enough, but ignored one point, he didn't take into account the problem of interpersonal relationships, or rather, he never disdained to think about this relationship, from beginning to end, Betty was a proud person, from her youth to fame, Betty refreshed the minimum age of the captain of the capital ship and the commander of the detachment, which is not easy for Betty to stand out in the navy of the British Empire.

Of course, in addition to his own ability, other aspects are also very critical, to be able to hold important positions at a very young age, some admirals, have an important relationship with him, among the many admirals, the most critical is Churchill, the admiral.

But now, Churchill has resigned as Secretary of the Navy because of the Listener Program, although there are still appointments, some resumption, and re-entry into the Navy, but the position is much inferior to that of the Secretary of the Navy, and only plays a small role. As the umbrella above Betty's head, it no longer exists, it stands to reason that those who are a little more sophisticated should have their tails between their legs, don't be so arbitrary, but Betty still maintains his original thoughts, plus, he thinks about the plan proposed by Jericho, it seems to be a plan, but it is like an order, Jericho is the commander of the blocking fleet this time, the rank and seniority are far above him, if it is still the era when Churchill is in power, maybe he will give Churchill three points of thin face, refer to this plan, now, Churchill had fallen, and how could he accept such an obvious commanding demand?

Any successful officer has his own arrogance, and even has different views on the problem, Jericho knows a little about the strength of Scheer's fleet, but it is all hearsay, he has not experienced it personally, and it is not as real as Betty's 3-day decisive battle, it is this deviation that makes him regard Scheer's fleet as a slightly stronger new fleet, rather than a big trouble, subjectively, Jericho does not want to destroy the British naval strategy, but in fact, it is his judgment error, Let this battle be early, there will be no suspense.

In fact, Jericho received Betty's report not too late, when Scheer's fleet was still at least 3 hours away from him, and after reading it carefully, he simply disdained it and put it aside, and then announced another order.

The order was simple, send a detachment to block the Scheer fleet, slow him down, in Jericho's opinion, the mighty British fleet, has enough strength, Blocking this fleet for 1.5 hours, as long as it plays normally, as for him, if the German high seas fleet dares to come out, he will definitely use the 30 warships on hand to give him a good look, perhaps, the one who destroys the high seas fleet is him Jericho, this is a rare feat, let his resume be more gorgeous, and even go to a higher level, from the position of commander of the home fleet, to a more important post.

It is equivalent to saying that Jericho carried out Betty's plan in the opposite direction completely, which was a thousand miles away, not to mention the complete opposite, Betty at this moment, thought that Jericho would do what he said, and was rushing towards the Baltic Sea as fast as possible, but he didn't expect that everything was as he expected, it was a completely different result, he was wrong, he lost the last chance, and the plan to divide into two opposite parts not only did not show his due role, but fell into the hands of Scheer.

The Scheer fleet, which was at this time 37 nautical miles northwest of the Baltic Sea estuary, all the warships were already at full strength, and the power reserved by itself was unreservedly driven to the maximum, and the speed had exceeded 26.5 knots per hour. It will take 1.5 hours to break through the heavily guarded Baltic Sea estuary and cross the encirclement formed by 30 capital ships.

Before this day, using 9 capital ships to attack 30 capital ships is an impossible task for anyone, and the commander on the opposite side can even take a good time, take his time, and accept the fruits of victory when the two sides are inextricably fought, but this time, the situation has changed slightly at the beginning, so that everything has entered a place beyond the control of the British.

Who can seize the opportunity, who can use tactics flexibly, it depends on the next few hours of war, and in a short time, Betty is isolated outside, his fleet cannot put on wings, of course, there is a small episode in the middle, a temporary blocking fleet composed of 10 heavy cruisers, several light cruisers and destroyers, moving at high speed in the direction where Scheer's fleet came, with a total tonnage of more than 360,000 tons, in terms of tonnage, it is very different from Scheer's generals, but what will be the situation of the war?
