"The German fleet is out again?" With a click, the cigarette in Jericho's hand fell on the table, burning a small hole in the tablecloth. "It's only been a little over a month, what do they want to do?" Jericho said with some annoyance, he had just given the Germans two heavy blows, and he originally thought that the North Sea should be safe for a while, and he was now considering the list of fleets to go to the Mediterranean, but the Germans moved again, and he was simply an immortal little power.

"Yes, Your Excellency, but this time their target is not the North Sea, it seems to be Admiral Essen's Russian Baltic Fleet. Among the battleships of this sortie appeared several new figures, which were definitely not the German capital ships that we know, they were larger and stronger than the King. If I'm not mistaken, they should be capital ships armed with 15-inch guns. The adjutant next to him said as he placed a document on Jericho's desk.

"Our technological superiority has only been maintained for a few months." Looking at the pictures in the document, Jericho was in a very bad mood, a powerful battleship equipped with 10 15-inch naval guns finally came out, and according to the characteristics of the Germans, the defense of this battleship naturally went without saying...... In terms of firepower, they also surpassed the Queen Elizabeth-class battleships, and their appearance and layout were similar to those of the King-class, which could almost be considered an enlarged version of the King-class battleships. And 4 of them came out at once! 40 15-inch naval guns! When I think about this, Jericho has a headache! …。

"The Germans dispatched a total of 10 capital ships, including two fast battleships, and the rest are four King-class battleships and four new battleships, this time the elite of the German Navy is all out together, and Admiral Essen's side may be in danger." Thomas, who was on the side, looked at the document and analyzed. "It is highly likely that the Germans this time intend to radically solve the threat to the Russian fleet. During this operation, the Germans also brought a large number of destroyers and minesweepers, and it is said that landing ships also appeared. They probably intend to completely capture the Gulf of Riga, or even St. Petersburg! And General Essen is afraid that it will be difficult to stop, even relying on turrets and mine arrays is only a delay. ”

"The Germans are stabbing directly at the point of Russia! And on this. We don't have a good solution, the Germans have a perfect mine defense system on the western wall, and we have to send a fleet to support the Mediterranean. Thomas looked at the map and said helplessly.

"There's one more problem. What if, in the process of moving part of the main forces of the Grand Fleet to the south, the Germans suddenly moved westward? The Germans still have 20 capital ships, two-thirds of the size of the Grand Fleet. Qualitatively stronger, even if we only send 2 super dreadnought detachments. I'm afraid the remaining battleships will be difficult to cope with the current situation! The other side to the North Sea only through the Kiel Canal, and we have to return to the North Sea from the Mediterranean Sea will take a long time, and more importantly, it will take a long time to solve the Italian fleet, if this time. At the end, Thomas was also scared into a cold sweat by his own thoughts. After more than two years of fighting, the Allied navies lost more than they won, and their losses were far greater than those of their opponents. If something happens to the Grand Fleet. Then the defeat of the Entente is a matter of certainty! …。

"Sss Jericho gasped. What Thomas said is definitely not alarmist, God knows how long Essen's 4 super dreadnoughts and 2 dreadnoughts can hold out in the face of the 10 elite capital ships of the German Navy, the Borodino-class battleships are already average, and more than 10 years later they are even more rubbish. The new Dreadnought is really okay. But even the king could not be defeated, let alone the super-battleships of the Germans armed with 10 15-inch guns. What's more, the Germans still have a backhand, and there are battleships to send, but the Russians don't have any money, and the new battleships are still outfitting, so they really can't be used!

Once the German Navy has settled the Russian fleet, then what next? Naturally, the whole army returned to the North Sea to find its own trouble. And if the strength of the main fleet is not enough at this time, then the situation is very bad! Unless the Queen Elizabeth-class battleships and R-class battleships are there, Jericho himself is not sure, and battleships such as the Iron Duke are weaker than King-class battleships. And the Queen Elizabeth class is also weaker than the new German warships, so in order to ensure their own safety. It seems that these 15-inch gun battleships cannot be sent, or only one or two can be sent. …。

Jericho and Thomas immediately began to assess the Mediterranean fleet of the Entente, 15 capital ships, 3 dreadnoughts, 12 super-dreadnoughts, 11 of which were artillery ships. But there is a new Chinese warship that once beat New Mexico, which makes the two very entangled. In less than half an hour, the latest American warships were scrapped, although there was an element of luck in it, but considering that the British were far less dreadnought than American goods. If you're unlucky, you'll be scrapped in a few minutes..........

Obviously, the Allied Super Dreadnought was not an ordinary commodity, and the British first had to use 6 Super Dreadnoughts to make up the number, and in addition, they needed 2 R-class battleships to hold down the position. One of them came against the Julius Caesar. As a result, the British artillery was almost completely drained from the super-dreadnought...... But the Grand Fleet also had 8 capital ships armed with 15-inch guns. Moreover, Thomas's fast fleet was still full of beards and tails, with the advantage of maneuvering and reconnaissance, and on the whole, even if the German fleet attacked with all its strength, the British fleet would not have to be afraid. Of course, it was not clear to Jericho that Scheer was considering a plan to upgrade the firepower of the battleship, so the Germans' 6 dreadnoughts were simply ignored. After all, in the Battle of Jutland, apart from drowning a battleship with shells, the German dreadnoughts did not gain much. Light energy resistance is not good!

The support fleet was arranged, but the commander did not have a suitable choice, and it was definitely not possible to let the French take command, and the last time it was a mess. This time we must not even pit with the UK. Betty? This guy has also suffered repeated defeats. And the style is too tough, Betty is a fierce general in the advantageous situation, but it is difficult to say if it is evenly matched. Jericho thought about it and it was better to let Thomas go, this guy was calm, and he had just won the game, and he was also popular. Even at a disadvantage, he was able to safely return with the fleet ..........

And just as the list of personnel and warships of the British southbound fleet was almost drawn up, at this time an official letter from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was sent to the Admiralty, and the US Navy wanted to send senior generals to participate in the war as observers, and the first person on the list of these people was Simms. This unlucky guy who was once beaten by the Huaxia Navy in the Far East, if you want to say that the battleship loses in performance, it is a hardware problem, but then Deng Shichang was beaten down, and if it is mishandled, it is a problem of ability. Although the other generals in the U.S. Navy may not have done a better job of handling this matter than Sims, but who made him unlucky? Just like Admiral Kimmel and Vice Admiral Short, who were forced to retire early because of the Pearl Harbor attack in history, he could only be considered unlucky to encounter this incident, so after losing the title of fleet commander, he was swept here by the US Navy!
