The fatalistic war, Scheer and Betty, both of the two British and German naval powers, a born in 1963, the other born in 1971, two outstanding admirals, growth trajectories are different, but they have become fatalistic opponents, now, Scheer led the team back, Betty led the team to intercept, and the unequal battle began.

400 nautical miles away from the Baltic Sea estuary, Scheer's fleet has already made a big circle, and it is only about 800 nautical miles away from Germany, but Scheer knows very well that this is the most difficult journey, and the contact with the German side makes it clear to him that the British army has begun to act, and the more he reaches the end, the stronger his purpose, there are not many places to choose, but it is easy to be seized by the other side, in this case, it is necessary to test his wisdom.

His location, among the areas drawn by the British, is not the most important area, the reason is very simple, the British miscalculated the speed of the battleship formation, the speed of the capital ship is 25 knots, but when driving at high speed, there is a certain margin, plus the influence of ocean currents and wind, The average speed has increased slightly by 0.3 knots, which seems to be an inconspicuous speed of 0.3 knots, which can be converted into 6 days of uninterrupted driving, compared with the previous maximum speed, a deviation of more than 20 nautical miles, plus the miscalculation of the British miscalculation, which is a difference of more than 100 nautical miles.

Even in the areas set aside by the British, there are also key areas, and without exception, the key areas have been luckily jumped out of the Scheer fleet, which gives the Scheer fleet a chance.

The airship forces, the Germans had the advantage, and while attacking London and dragging down the British airship forces, they had spare power to monitor the British blocking fleet, although the British sent a large number of fleets. Search for the traces of Scheer's fleet, but the main fleet will not be involved, in case the traces are found, they are far away, not and there is no way, he will almost certainly wait in a moderate position. So after several explorations by the airship, they found the traces of the Scheer fleet.

On the Lion, Betty looked at the airship in the sky vigilantly, frowned, the German airship was moving in the sky above them, but they were helpless, as a new general, Betty knew the important role of the airship, and also proposed to transfer out some of the airships. It was used to search for Scheer's entry team, but unfortunately the actions of the Germans made his suggestion fall through, and a newly formed unit such as the airship unit could not afford to let the German airship attack London.

But having the other party's airship above their heads like this means that everything is exposed, even if Betty knows that she is helpless, she is still irritable in her heart. I always feel that there will be bad results.

While Betty is upset, Scheer is also making a final choice. At the same time as receiving the telegram from the headquarters, Scheer had already begun to prepare, and now, after one day of consideration, he made up his mind to use the shortest distance directly, because according to the possible arrangement of the British. The main fleet of the British army should be in the direction of a little north, they probably have more than 20 capital ships, as well as other auxiliary fleets, and their strength is quite strong. may already have the ability to annihilate the Scheer fleet, but it is more than a hundred nautical miles to the north, which is a key, if they can quickly insert into the middle, no matter what, without the slightest stop, if they can kill the opponent's patrol ship, they will kill the opponent's patrol ship, they can't kill it without delaying time, and they will not stay in place too much, so that there will still be a chance.

Naval warfare is like this, according to the information compiled by the Admiralty before, search their fleet, the focus is not where they are now, but another area, this intelligence is very important, the reason is very simple, the British misjudgment, according to the chart to calculate, Schell knows where the mistake is, speed, because of the better relationship between the fleet run-in, coupled with the cooperation of ocean currents and wind speed, their average speed is higher than the highest speed, a point, it is this that makes the other party misjudge.

In the previous 6 days, although the speed was high, it was not the highest speed, and the Chinese had a great advantage in power, not only allowing the huge guys close to 50,000 tons, having enough power, but also increasing the power at special times, and even this afterburner, not on the premise of damaging the power system, as long as it does not exceed 12 hours, it can be.

In any case, the final decisive battle is over, there may be success, but the possibility of failure is not impossible, Scheer took advantage of the last opportunity to hold a mobilization meeting, and those who can come back with him are all experienced and strong-willed, and when they left Southeast Asia, they were already prepared, and now, it is just the last cheer and encouragement.

After the final mobilization meeting, the whole fleet regained its spirits, billowing black smoke rose, and the Scheer fleet, which had been kept under the economic speed of about 25 knots, suddenly increased its speed, and the speed suddenly increased by 2 knots, reaching an astonishing speed of 27 knots.

At this point in time, it is already night, the visibility is not high, the cold North Sea has a faint fog, it is the best time to cross, on the immature route, high-speed driving, which must take risks, the tide rises and falls, God knows, there will be some submarine reefs here, maybe there are some places, there is no problem for merchant ships, for warships with a deeper draft, there may be problems.

The Germans have been prepared for a long time, and in the past 20 years, they have been constantly exploring the vicinity, and the choice of sea routes has come in handy, there will be no large-scale islands or islands here, and safety is guaranteed.

After a night of high-speed progress, from 8 o'clock to 6 o'clock the next day, in 10 hours, the Scheer fleet soared 268 nautical miles, successfully passing from one side of the North Sea to the other, and fortunately, did not encounter the exploration fleet, the night gave him enough shelter, as long as it was not at close range, even if it was a kilometer or two apart, under the premise of complete light control, it was not easy to find.

After more than half of the journey, Scheer's heart was relieved, and his current position had crossed the position of the British pursuing fleet, and there was a gap of more than a hundred nautical miles between the two, which was enough for him to use.

Good luck disappeared after dawn, even if Scheer was strong, it was impossible to make the fleet invisible, in front of the increasingly dense British search team, there was no way, about 7 o'clock, encountered two destroyers almost staggered, due to the distance, they also fired a few shots, hit one of them, the remaining second ship still ran, the maximum speed is 35 knots destroyer, if you really want to run, it is really not easy to catch up.

Knowing that he couldn't catch up, of course Scheer would not force it, although he also ordered to continue the attack within 15 nautical miles, but the center of gravity was no longer here, how the other party would react, he was clear, the reason why he did not give the order was because the airship force did not send back the exact information. The correspondent immediately contacted the airship unit and informed them that the pursuing fleet had to be contacted as soon as possible if there was any movement, and then there was a long wait.

With the help of the Northwest, with the help of the Northwest, it has a reliable and portable radio transceiver, even if the Northwest gives Germany not the latest style, but it can be installed on battleships and airships, and instantly contact the people who can be contacted, regardless of the distance, this is the biggest reliance that Schell can return, and even know that the other side has eliminated the interception of a large number of warships, and still calmly relies on it, and if it is replaced by the United Kingdom, there must be a time lag to transmit information.

This time difference will put Scheer's fleet in the most advantageous position, Scheer has formulated several pre-selected plans before, such a result, just overlapping with his pre-selection plan, and now it is almost natural to prepare for execution, although the course has not changed, but Scheer is ready at any time, once he gets the exact news of the blocking fleet, he will act immediately.

Sure enough, after this destroyer escaped, it immediately went to the periphery, and after half an hour, it encountered another search fleet, and then gradually spread, the encirclement set up by the British on this side of the North Sea, taking this into account, plus the relatively close distance, using the relay method, spread the news to the side of Betty's fleet, instead of using communication, so that it was relatively fast, the position of the British blocking fleet was only more than 60 nautical miles from the closest position of the Scheer fleet, and even now, it was only more than 80 nautical miles, At the speed of the destroyer relay, more than 2 hours, it can still be felt.

At this point, the position of Scheer's fleet was completely exposed, but the relay also took 2.5 hours, and when the information was transmitted to Betty, he was stunned, and he didn't expect that the distance between the two sides would be so close.

If the blocking fleet was cruising at that time, maybe the two sides would have met, Betty regretted it slightly, but quickly, she expelled this negative thought in her heart, and carefully studied the location of the Scheer fleet, which was different from what they expected, why did he appear so close, is their speed amazing.

As soon as this possibility appeared, Betty was vigilant, as a senior naval expert, he could almost use a simple estimate to estimate the maximum speed of Scheer's fleet, which must be more than 25 knots, or even 26 knots, why is the speed so fast, according to the news from Southeast Asia, the other party is not a battle cruiser, they are real battleships, battleships with thick skin, why do they have such a fast speed.

It took a short time to judge the possibility of why the Scheer fleet appeared here, and there were not many options in front of Betty, the Scheer fleet unexpectedly appeared in this position, only more than a hundred kilometers away from the Baltic Sea estuary, plus their distance, they must use the fastest speed, super the closest distance, it is possible to block it before the Baltic Sea estuary, so how should he choose?
