The performance of the Sedritz in this naval battle can be described as a big surprise, and it has been repeatedly damaged in the past but it is unsinkable. The legendary battleship www.biquge.info with many titles and dazzling halos, such as the Unsinkable Ship, the Darling of the God of Destiny, and the Son of the Sea God, was directly given a 1-ton armor-piercing projectile by 1 shot! The bomb hit from the right side of the hull, and instead of going all the way down, it accidentally hit the ammunition lift passage next to the hull! At this time, a batch of ammunition happened to be transported from the ammunition depot to the deck, and so, with a shocking bang, a huge fireball burst out from the starboard side of the entire battle situation, and the raging flames and powerful fragments rushed directly down the ammunition lifting channel all the way into the ammunition depot! None of the three fire doors could stop the raging firestorm!

The Hindenburg also did not last long, and after being hit by 2 1-ton bombs, 3 bombs and 3 torpedoes, the battleship also sank to the bottom with scars, and before the battleship sank, the Earl of Luknall transferred to the aircraft carrier York with his command flag. At this point, the attack of the Huaxia fleet came to an end. The bomber units began to leave the battlefield, and the Skua 3 fighter units that provided cover for them also left behind, and individual reconnaissance planes kept circling around the German fleet, monitoring each other's every move.

"To live or to perish is a question worth pondering!" This classic line comes from Shakespeare's classic Hamlet. The prince is bogged down in revenge and compromise. He was hesitant about his future actions. Each of his choices determines his own fate. And at this moment, this choice also befell on the battlefield, and the existence and destruction of the German fleet was also a choice, but the right to choose did not lie with Raeder and the German Navy, but with his opponents! The current situation is that no matter how hard the Germans try to save their fleet, the Huaxia fleet has the time and strength to fight another wave, and this wave can completely make the German fleet, which has been heavily damaged, completely lose the ability to fight a decisive battle at sea!

"What to do? What do we do next? Soon, the battle report of the first wave of attacks of the Huaxia Air Force had been delivered to Su Mo's hands, and the results were still good. The Germans lost 4 fleet aircraft carriers, including 2 Caesar-class aircraft carriers and 2 30,000-ton armored aircraft carriers, with a total tonnage of about 150,000 tons. In addition to this, about 700 carrier-based aircraft of various types were lost, of which about 450 were carrier-based aircraft.

In addition to the sunken aircraft carriers, the aircraft carrier Europa was damaged, and the Caesar-class battleship Regent was hit with 3 bombs and 1 torpedo, and the deck was blown up. The powertrain is not bad. Frederick the Great's hangar was hit, half of the hangar was set on fire, and the entire aft deck was destroyed. The power is also good, and the other aircraft carriers are also brought with them. And in addition to these aircraft carriers, the German Navy had one battleship, 3 cruisers and no less than a dozen destroyers sunk. And for these results, the Chinese naval aviation also paid the price of close to 500 aircraft! About 70 percent of them were destroyed by opposing fighter jets. But even so, there is no problem for the Huaxia Navy to launch another wave of attacks!

"The German fleet is withdrawing in the direction of the Persian Gulf, and at the same time the Luftwaffe is concentrating on providing cover for the Navy, and I hope to seize the time to launch another attack, after two attacks. It would be nice if half of the strength of the German Navy's aircraft carrier formations could remain! Ye Ming said with some excitement, to be honest, in Ye Ming's eyes, the German Navy is still a respectable opponent, not to mention the glory of the First World War, in the Second World War, the German Navy is also stable against the United States and Britain, and the fight with China is also defeated. And today, the Huaxia Navy really has a chance to solve this difficult opponent once and for all! Can Ye Ming be unhappy?

"How's the situation with our decoy fleet?" Su Mo suddenly asked, the span of this leap of thought is a bit large. It was beyond Ye Ming's reaction, but soon, Ye Ming still gathered the relevant information and handed it to Su Mo. He couldn't figure it out. What the hell did Su Mo want to do.

When the Chinese naval aviation launched an attack on the German fleet, the Luftwaffe's magic box group also launched an attack on the Huaxia decoy fleet under the cover of the remaining fighters, and various fighters taking off from the eight escort aircraft carriers tried their best to resist the attack of the other side, but in the face of the firepower of the main fleet of the attack, it was still difficult for about 300 planes to intercept it, in this battle. The Germans made a great gain, 5 escort aircraft carriers were killed by high-powered guided bombs, and 2 old battleships were sunk. And other battleships were also badly damaged, of course, the German fleet also paid a certain price, at least 100 bombers did not go back, and the number of fighters lost 200 aircraft! However, even so, there are still some warships left in the decoy fleet.

"Let's cover and lure the enemy fleet out. The German fleet will be left alone for the time being. Su Mo thought for a while, and finally seemed to have made a lot of determination! Said this order that surprised future generations and can even be described as incomprehensible! Su Mo gave up the opportunity to continue the attack and directly kill the Germans, but chose to save a decoy fleet, which became a stain on his life's campaign, and an opportunity that could have made him as famous as Nelson, Xu Jie and others was thrown into the Indian Ocean by him!

"Don't you have a problem with your brain?" Ye Ming didn't believe his ears a little. "We can solve the problem once and for all, this time it will greatly accelerate the progress of our war, after this engagement, I am afraid that there will be no German Grand Fleet at sea, and we can even directly eliminate the German army in the Middle East! You know what, you're committing a crime! The last few words, Ye Ming almost roared out!

"And it will be difficult for the Germans to organize the next wave of attacks. It's impossible for the Magic Box group to make a second sortie today, so we only need to allocate a small part of our forces. We could have launched a wave of attacks while taking care of the decoy fleet and completely crushed the Germans. Ye Ming then added.

"If we attack again and indeed crush the Germans, then I will become the most illustrious admiral in the history of the world's navy, and I can even surpass my brother-in-law. So what? Is the purpose of war to destroy the adversary? No, no, no, the purpose of the war is politics, it is to maximize the benefits, and it is not in our interest to destroy the German fleet. So he had to live, we needed the German fleet, as long as he did not pose a threat to us and no longer affected our actions. Su Mo seemed to be explaining something to Ye Ming, and he seemed to be talking to himself. As he spoke, he motioned to the men next to him to immediately carry out the order he had begun - to abandon the second wave of attacks on the German fleet, and then to cover and lure the enemy fleet back to their own team.

A full two dozen aircraft carriers began to turn, and the group of aircraft ready for the second attack was divided into two parts, in which the fighters flew in a northwesterly direction. They would provide cover for the decoy fleet heading south, while the other part continued to hover over the fleet, guarding against a possible German attack. And the attack planes that were originally going to hang bombs and refuel were all taken back to the hangar. The huge fleet began to turn, and almost all the people in the fleet carried out the orders of the Supreme Commander with regret and even resentment. They don't understand why they should give up a low-hanging victory.

And at the same time. On the other side of the battlefield, the Germans were also waiting in horror for the second round of strikes in China, and almost all the planes that the Luftwaffe could mobilize were sent over, even if they could only stay in the sky over the battlefield for a quarter of an hour, the Germans did not hesitate! However, to the surprise of the Germans, Huaxia did not take advantage of your illness to kill you in the end. Most of the German naval officers and men also considered this question after the rest of their lives, what caused Huaxia to abandon the attack. And among them, some people still understand the reason, such as Raeder and Count Luknall, who has just been removed from the flagship.

"Huaxia seems to have stopped attacking. Our crisis is over. When night fell, Count Luknal finally relented. The fatigue after the big war came up like a tide, and he had relied on his tenacious will to survive before, but now, he just wanted to take a good rest and get a good night's sleep! But before he can do that, he needs to be sure of a few things!

"Lifted? Not at all! We are still in crisis. If some of our actions displease Huaxia, they still have a chance to kill us! The German High Seas Fleet will only live a few more days! Reddell smiled wryly. He knows more than ordinary people, and he also understands the meaning behind such a decision made by the Huaxia Navy! How so? In a nutshell, it's unexpected!

"Maybe Huaxia thinks that the German fleet is still useful to them? If we are finished, the Empire will lose its last strategic mobile force, and if it is finished. Maybe it's not necessarily a good thing for Huaxia, so Huaxia wants to weaken us more than to make us completely a second-rate country? "Count Luknall thought of something, and contacts between China and Germany began very early. It's just that the gap between the conditions of the two sides is a bit big, and they didn't talk about it, is it because of this reason for the mercy of the attackers?

"You're only half right, and it's true from a strategic point of view." Raeder said noncommittally.

"Then they are simply too confident, if they dare to let us go, I will definitely make Huaxia regret what he did today! It's not that we can't replenish our capital ships. And relying on the forces we have deployed in the Suez Canal and the Mediterranean, we have every hope of holding back the pace of the Chinese naval offensive. Even if we never have the opportunity to enter the Indian Ocean, we can still hold the Mediterranean, the southern gate of the Empire! "The so-called tiger is invincible, and it is very appropriate to describe the earl at this time!

"They are not confident, they have enough confidence and means to solve this problem, and they understand the first thing I said, if some of my actions do not make Huaxia dissatisfied, they still have a chance to kill us! We are still a lamb to the slaughter! Or the kidnapped hostage, it depends on whether the ransom given by the high-level satisfies Huaxia! Raeder's words were full of helplessness and frustration!

"I still don't get it. Our crisis may be understandable, but what is the so-called ransom at the top? Can you be clearer? "Count Luknar's already somewhat dazed brain has become even more confused, and he can describe his thoughts as a mess at this time!

Raeder pondered for a moment and motioned for the others to leave, and when there were only two people in the fleet commander's office, Raeder finally gave his partner a decision. "The first condition put forward by Huaxia was the complete withdrawal of German power from the Middle East, and this proposal was rejected until then. They're likely to make a fuss about it. ”

"It's impossible, not to mention that the withdrawal is a fairly long process, and even if we agree, it will take quite a long time to operate. Even if we agreed, it would not be possible for the Chinese fleet to support it until we withdrew. You and I both know that a treaty without effective guarantees is equivalent to waste paper, and Huaxia can't be so stupid! Count Luknall said.

"Yes, it's impossible. This condition is too harsh and too difficult to fulfill, so they may retreat to the next best thing and let us evacuate some of our forces first. I think it's most likely that we'll get the Air Force out. People at the same time vandalized the airfield to prevent re-entry. As for the holding time of the Huaxia fleet? Since the initiative is on the Chinese side, then with the passage of time, once the Chinese land-based air force really exerts its might, and we do not meet the requirements of China, I am afraid that day will be the end of the high seas fleet! It is quite possible that the Chinese fleet will be able to hold out until this time. ”

"And what if you don't make it this time?" The Earl raised his eyebrows slightly and asked rhetorically.

"Huaxia dares to bet, do you dare to bet? The status of the two sides was originally unequal, and Germany could not afford to lose its fleet, so we did not dare to bet, and even if China lost, what would happen? It is impossible for us to enter the Indian Ocean again, and it is impossible to inflict any more losses on the Chinese fleet, will a lion be distressed because a rabbit runs away? No, it won't! Because rabbits are no longer a threat to lions! Raeder explained.

"So what can we do now? I mean, is there anything else besides repairing the fleet? For example, what do you say to the top? The Count asked.

"There's no need, we've done it all, and even before I came to the Indian Ocean, I had already talked to the Army and Air Force bosses about what to do in case of an accident. This situation is in our plan, as long as it follows the plan. Raeder said.

"What if the Kaiser doesn't agree?"

"He'll say yes, Kruger and the Red Baron promised!" Raeder said gloomily!
