Chapter 1223: An hour and a half of speed horror

After Betty's fleet got the news, it was already somewhat confirmed, and the other party was sure that there was a very peculiar way to facilitate communication with each other, but how it was done, I don't know, in this case, as long as the airship flew in the air, he could not catch the other party, rather than this, it was better to return to the Baltic strait, which was the last place to pass, no matter what, Scheer would have to go back there after all. Betty's approach made Scheer's fleet very unmoved, and even when Scheer was thinking about it, he directly ordered the fleet to stop first, although the boiler had not been completely shut down, this was a dangerous area, and it was impossible to stop it all.

In the fleet, the high-level leaders who are qualified to know the news are all solemn, the other party has made a choice, the most unfavorable choice for them, what to do next, it is difficult to make the last way, it will be cut off.

"Or, contact the High Seas Fleet and let them pick it up!" The captain of a battleship said tentatively.

The other immediately retorted: "The High Seas Fleet is coming, then it is not a response, it is a decisive battle, Betty will not be so stupid, he will definitely remind Jericho, when the time comes, we will be divided into two, and the other party will become one, why should we do it?" ”

Scheer has been thinking, in fact, what the captains see, he knows, directly collide with it, let the high seas fleet respond, it is not a choice, it is a decisive battle, maybe it will bury the entire high seas fleet! He certainly wasn't on his toes, and after much thought, he said, "Turn! ”

"Turning?" All the captains looked at Scheer in amazement, some shrewdly figured it out, others still had doubts.

Without much explanation. Just the order was given, and the Scheer fleet turned anyway. And not in the direction of the British mainland, but in the opposite direction. To the north-west, that was once the most searched and densest place for the British fleet.

The purpose of the high-speed operation of the fleet is very simple, Scheer is to create momentum, it is best to sink a series of fleets, although this method cannot shake Betty, but with his understanding of Jericho, Betty cannot affect Jericho. Even if there is no loss, Jericho will not let Betty reconcile, let alone under the huge loss.

When Scheer and they turned, Betty was already approaching the Baltic Sea Strait, and Jericho, who had been waiting here, thought that Betty had returned victoriously, but who knows, but he got such a result, Betty thought that the other party would rush over. So it's back.

What a joke, so much manpower and material resources were used, and so much was lost, just in the North Sea. Dozens of ships of all sizes were lost, although the largest was only destroyers, but they were always lost.

For Jericho's request. Betty didn't care about it at all, she was stubborn. Always claiming that the other side will attack, for a guy like Betty. Jericho couldn't say anything more, and after planting a knot in his heart, he turned around and left.

However, for a whole night, no news came, and in the early morning briefing, Jericho once again asked Betty to leave, and after Betty refused again, the two sides broke up.

But at noon, the wind and clouds suddenly changed, after nearly 20 hours, Scheer's fleet entered the area where the other party's search was intensive, these fleets searched in a method, the first directions, just the point, and then even if there was no other information, they would continue to search to the edge, just happened to meet the wolf-like Scheer fleet.

Unlike before, the Scheer fleet also considered the relationship between the Betty fleet, and now how many are killed, like a tiger into a wolf pack, and even some British search fleets can not be called wolves, battleships against destroyers, light cruisers, or other fishing boats, merchant ships, etc., can not resist such an attack at all, in just 6 hours, the Scheer fleet has defeated a total of 8 large and small fleets, sinking 47 large and small ships.

The sinking of a large number of ships, and the location in a dense area, were soon transmitted back to the mainland, and the Admiralty began to question Jericho about what had happened, and it took 6 hours to toss and turn, and the information was transmitted to Norway by wire telegraph by land, and after a period of relay, and finally passed to Jericho, Jericho was as if he had received a sword from Shang Fang, and asked Betty to track it down immediately.

Betty looked at the telegram and didn't speak for a long time, he had expected it before, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly, Schell really deserved his name, he had suspected that there was a convenient way to contact Germany before, but now, it has been determined, if it is not an indiscriminate contact method, why would they reflect it so quickly, and it is so correct, but what is it.

The order sent by the Admiralty, and the destruction of the fleet of the Scheer fleet was too great, 47 ships, which were completed in just 6 hours, although there were accidents, but he could not bear the pressure to continue.

The other party's purpose is very simple, that is, to mobilize him and divide it into two parts of the fleet, which cannot effectively suppress the high seas fleet and the Scheer fleet, and this is the purpose of the other party.

After some arguments, Betty still left, but he only brought 15 boats, for this, Jericho was noncommittal, he sent 20 ships for safety, since Betty was willing to bring 15 ships, anyway, the board could not reach him.

Betty left with the fleet, he was more worried about Jericho than himself, 15 ships may not be able to do anything to Scheer, he doesn't plan to do anything, just force it, 15 ships have an advantage, as long as it is not a decisive battle or huge losses, he can completely maintain the pressure on Scheer, and then let Scheer do according to his script.

Betty took advantage of the night to leave, the night airship could not take off at all, and even if it took off, it was difficult to monitor, and it was impossible for the German airship to have a night vision device, and even if there were, it was difficult to play a role in the complex North Sea.

That is, the next day, when the airship came back over, it was found that the original concentrated fleet, 15 less, and after a period of tracking, finally in the afternoon, found Betty's fleet, 15 capital ships, the major heavy cruisers are also a lot less, compared with before, 5 capital ships are less and almost half of the heavy cruisers, the combat effectiveness has been reduced by at least 3 percent, if the previous Betty fleet is a huge threat to the Scheer fleet, it is even possible to severely damage and kill the Scheer fleet, now, It's just that there is a huge threat, and it is impossible to annihilate the Scheer fleet.

Once again, the British fleet was successfully divided into 2 parts, which was considered to have achieved Scheer's goal, but the next battle made him have no choice, it stands to reason that Scheer should have targeted Betty's 15 battleships, because he was far weaker than the remaining fleet in the Baltic Sea, but I don't know what was going on, Scheer thought for a long time, and finally gave the order to bypass Betty's fleet and rush directly to the mouth of the Baltic Sea.

Different fleets, in the hands of different commanders, play different roles, although Jericho may not be worse than Betty, but at this critical moment, in terms of adaptability, Scheer does not want to entangle with Betty, its own capital ships are missing 6, Scheer's fleet is fully under the premise, maybe it can hit Betty's fleet hard, but he also lost the opportunity to go back, he is not far away, in order to solve the crisis in Germany, bring 9 warships back, balance the gap between the two sides, not to annihilate the enemy.

In this way, one side has surveillance, under the monitoring of the airship, you can clearly see any action of the Betty fleet, and the other side has a numerical advantage, and can chase and kill the Scheer fleet without any scruples, the two sides are in the North Sea tens of thousands of square nautical miles, fighting wits and courage, and finally Scheer with monitoring, or successfully occupy the advantage, after several adjustments and battles, after more than ten times of passing by, successfully threw off the Betty fleet.

Betty stood on top of the Lion, frowning, although he knew the name of Scheer, and had a period of communication, only in the past few days, only to find that Scheer is so difficult, 3 days, not only did not follow his script to go, but was thrown away by the other party, although he caught up again and again, but in the end, it was still one step behind, Scheer was very cunning, faster to reach the location where the destroyer had been sunk, the distance between the two sides was about 180 nautical miles, the other party's purpose was very simple, He will want to go to the Baltic Sea, even if he is super shortcut and pursues with a triangular method, the other party will arrive at the mouth of the Baltic Sea 1.5 hours in advance.

At this moment, Scheer is also a little depressed, it took 3 days, spent a lot of effort with the help of airships and radio communication plug-ins, and on the premise of sinking another 21 ships, won a gap of dozens of nautical miles, and even in the future, this number will be further reduced, under the premise of the worst, It may only be 1.5 hours, but he is still willing, because he is very confident in his fleet, in the production of warships and sighting systems in the northwest, with these, it will become a multiplier of battleships, it seems that 9 warships, maybe equivalent to 18, or even more.

It is the slightly rigid Jericho instead of Betty who remains in the Baltic Sea, which is already the biggest advantage, and 1.5 hours is also the biggest reliance, as long as the high seas fleet responds in time and attracts the main force of the other side, there is almost a 70% chance of successfully breaking through the Baltic Strait.

Both sides are racing against time, especially Betty, if it is a chase battle, he has already lost, Not to mention the time gap of 1.5 hours, quite huge, even if it is 10 minutes short, the speed of the opposing fleet is faster than them, they can't catch up, but there is no if in the world, and now it is not a simple pursuit war, at the mouth of the Baltic Sea, there are 25 capital ships, compared to that, he is not the main force at all, maybe there is still a chance, he has already failed in the pursuit battle, then the next battle, he is fearless, he must fight as much as possible.
