The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 2253 Do the Things at Hand First

Well, the number of capital ships that can be dispatched will be reduced, and this problem cannot be solved by money, because the construction cycle of capital ships is long. Well, after the end of the war, the United States, which has lost the biggest bargaining chip Why do people make the Germans willing to take the risk of reducing the home fleet to support the United States? That's only the US dollar and hard currency!

This is what the so-called rare goods can live in! The scarcity of an item drives up its price Simple economics? If the warships that need to be repaired are counted, it will be even better. It can directly delay the outbreak of the Pacific War. After all, after a ship enters the shipping service, it can be repaired for a week or a year.... When it can be repaired, on the one hand, it depends on the loss situation and the arrangements of Germany, and on the other hand, it depends on whether the "sincerity" of the Americans has arrived.... Didn't Taft believe in the power of money? If you are capable, you will help me advance the repair fee for the ship!

And the most important thing in this matter is not the issue of warship repairs, but the delay of time * The longer the war is delayed, the better it is for Japan, because after the end of the European War, the British will no longer need armaments, and the delay, It just gave the British the opportunity and time to transfer their armaments to the Japanese... ♀ naturally means that the Americans need to pay a higher price to kill the Japanese!

No, it can't go on like this anymore, Crown Prince Ruprecht feels that he is too black-bellied!

After thinking about these things clearly, the orders and telegrams that should be issued have also been sent, so now it is time to prepare for the end. The two remaining Vengeance-class battleships that were left behind did not make any waves under the crushing of absolute power. The Royal Oak was quickly destroyed, and the Revenge sent an abandon ship signal before sinking in the battle!

In fact, in the final stage of the battle, there were no British warships around to accompany the last two British warships, and after the abandon ship signal was sent, the German fox was required to help the British clean up the mess. There is no need to kill all those who fell into the water.

"Your Highness, a clear-coded message from the British," Admiral Scheer said.

"What is it?" Ruprecht asked curiously.

"They asked us to help move the remains of Admiral Jericho, commander of the British Grand Fleet," Scheer said.

"Jerico was killed?" Ruprecht asked.

"It is said to be killed in action, but it feels like it may be suicide." Admiral Scheer said.

"So that's the case." Ruprecht said with a long sigh. In fact, although this result was unexpected, it is also reasonable. After such a big defeat, someone must be blamed, and Jericho's actions undoubtedly saved the face of the Royal Fox, and at the same time, it was also a good example for his colleagues. guilt.

"Then find someone to arrange it. Jericho is a respectable opponent, and we should show proper respect." Ruprecht ordered.

Now, both the main force of the High Seas Fleet and the Hipper Fleet have begun to gather the fleet to prepare for the return voyage, while in the other direction, the battle is still going on. The Thomas Fleet fled, followed by the German High Seas Fleet. Although the 4 Bavarian-class battleships have an absolute advantage in number, Thomas really dare not turn back at this time!

"Your Excellency, according to the information provided by the Air Force, we can see the British fleet in 20 minutes." An officer said to Earl Spey.

"Very good. Prepare for the battle according to the plan." Earl Spey nodded and said. He is very relaxed now, the British are already at the end of their battle,

The strength of the fleet is no longer as good as his own. What's more, His Royal Highness has specially allocated 4 Bavarian-class battleships to help him sweep the formation, and there are land-based aviation forces coming in the air. No matter how you look at it, he has an absolute advantage here. Winning is not a problem at all.

The only thing that frustrates the Earl is that His Highness the Crown Prince seems to want an Englishman to keep some property and not let them be killed. This makes Earl Spey, who is a soldier, feel a little uncomfortable, but he feels that His Highness the Crown Prince gave himself the last share of military exploits I am still very grateful, I have been in the fox for so many years, if I can't see this, then my life is in vain!

For Crown Prince Ruprecht's order, Earl Spey must absolutely abide by it. He can't figure out some political issues, but he will execute the order. In other words, he must execute if he understands, and execute if he doesn't understand!

"There are still 4 places left, yes." Earl Spey said silently in his heart. However, what the Earl didn't expect was that these 4 places were for all of them, not just for his 8 fast battleships. No, before the battleships exchanged fire, the air force's land-based aviation force had already arrived!

"Fox hunters call fox dogs. Tell us about your location." At this time, a K8 bomber air force - Tiger Shark Squadron was flying over the vast Norwegian Sea. After several oblique flights, the squadron leader It has been confirmed that they are close to the battlefield, but at this critical moment, the navigator's report makes everyone extremely depressed, that is, they suddenly no longer receive the navigation information from the shore!

The so-called navigation, to put it bluntly, is to know where your position is. If you are on land, you can naturally determine your position according to the topography and landmarks, but on the sea, a vast sea, how do you determine your position? In this era, the Luftwaffe solved the problem like this. Each bomber squadron will be equipped with a special receiving device, which can perform sideways and ranging from two designated ground radio transmitting stations. Then, after simple drawing and calculation, you can determine the approximate location of your own fleet. But now, the signal of one of the radio transmitting stations suddenly lost its reception, which is a bit troublesome. Considering that all the planes have no reception, it is very likely that there is a problem with a certain land-based radio transmitting station.

But it doesn't matter, the Germans still have preparatory measures, and this preparatory measure is to calculate their own position through the relative position of the pilot aircraft. If the British fleet is compared to a nurse who is fleeing, then the K8 bomber squadron as fox hunters is the hunter , and the foxhound is the hound that guides the hunter to hunt down!

At this time, the navigators knew the positions of themselves and the pilot fleet by locating the radio signals sent by the fox dogs, and then they received a very important message—the hounds had discovered the target's position and sent it to Passed to the hunter!
