Chapter 843: Weakness Period

That's right, if Malaya and Warspite encounter Su Xiong's fleet again, Su Xiong's fleet will definitely defeat them. But the question is, can you meet it? This time will be delayed, and if the most powerful fast squadron cannot come back from overseas, then the prince thinks that he would really be sorry to the British if he does not make big news in the North Sea.

Now, Ruprecht believes that the current situation is very close to his expectations. As long as he confirms the queens' next actions and lets Hipper act more arrogant, then he will It’s time to take action! As for the British Grand Fleet? Haha, being at the northernmost point of the North Sea naturally blocks Germany's access to and from the Atlantic Ocean. But at the same time, if something happens to the south of the North Sea, will you be able to do it in time? The British fleet is distributed in three places, with Jericho's large fleet in the anchorage of the northernmost Shetland Islands. There was Beatty's battlecruiser fleet in the central Firth of Forth, and the Harwich Fleet and Channel Fleet in the south. And this time, the prince planned to find trouble with Betty. Maybe some people say that looking for Betty's bad luck will not cause the main force of the High Seas Fleet to be dispatched, right? In the Battle of Jutland in history, didn't Hipper keep Betty in check? If it weren't for Thomas, Betty herself might have died. But in fact, even without Thomas, if the British really want to take offensive action, they will at least arrange a response fleet, maybe a battleship squadron, maybe two. Simply relying on Hipper is not enough. After all, no matter how powerful the German warships are, you cannot compete with two warships of the same level. What's more, how could the prince be willing to seize this opportunity without leaving some profound lessons to the British? Of course, Hipper also has his own mission. The prince will not let the world's most elite battlecruiser formation lie in the port! As for this, is this opportunity rare? Naturally, it is rare. Even if Su Xiong's fleet survives this disaster, it may not be easy for the prince to find such a good opportunity again! Some people may say that it is impossible for the British to let Su Xiong's fleet go. After the British leave, Su Xiong's fleet will be repaired for a few months and there will be two heroes again. Don't the Allies still have to divide their forces to deal with it? This is true, the Allies will continue to deal with it, but this time it may not be the British, but the Japanese! After all, Su Xiong's fleet robbed not only British and French ships, but also cut off a lot of Japanese. After all, if the Allies could not win the war, then the German Far East colonies that Japan had eaten before the war were necessary. Gonna spit it out! What should I do if I don’t spit it out? Do the Japanese seek death while dealing with virtue? Historically, the Japanese have provided escort for the Allied fleets, but now, the relationship between Japan and Britain and France is even closer. When it comes to national destiny, the Japanese still know clearly! So, this is the reason why the prince asked the Navy Ministry to keep an eye on the Japanese fleet. He even said that whether Su Xiong's fleet can escape now depends on whether the Japanese respond quickly this time! If the Japanese respond quickly and send the main force of the combined fleet to the Indian Ocean, then the Su Xiong fleet will really be unable to escape. Wanting to return to Germany is tantamount to wishful thinking. The best result is to arrive at a neutral port, sink the warship in the back, wait for the neutral country to take it into custody, and then wait until the war is over. Or how many more Japanese warships will be destroyed in a certain naval battle? Of course, this probability is not high. Su Xiong's fleet is now considered ferocious. If the queens are lions, then Su Xiong's fleet is at least a tiger, and the Japanese King Kong and his ilk are just like leopards. Even if the tiger is slightly injured, the leopard may not be able to escape unscathed. Therefore, the Japanese will definitely hesitate, and senior officials of the Japanese Navy will also consider the issue of "What to do if the battleship is damaged?" By the way,

There is another issue, and that is the exchange of interests. In order to "employ" the Bavarian Legion, the Austro-Hungarian Empire gave Princess Mary a position of powerful Grand Duke and Bohemia and Moravia. If the British want to "hire" the Japanese Combined Fleet, what price will they offer? The prince didn't know, but he was sure that the price would definitely be much higher than what Fritz gave to Bavaria! And this kind of transfer of interests cannot be done in just two sentences!

"Then do you have any other instructions for Su Xiong's fleet?" asked the naval officer responsible for liaison. "They have done a good job. I can't ask for more from them. As long as the two battleships do not fall into the hands of the Allies. At the same time, let them be wary of the Japanese." The prince answered very simply . "In addition, I hope that the East African side can be prepared for the response, such as supplies and some basic maintenance." "Are you sure that General Su Xiong will take the fleet to East Africa?" the officer asked curiously. "Maybe, maybe not, but it's always good to be prepared. If that doesn't work, the Su Xiong fleet can leave the Indian Ocean and go to a neutral country in America to wait for the end of the war. Well, that's it. .""By the way, let me add one more thing, don't we still have some ships flying the American flag? I hope they can move and provide whatever help they can to Su Xiong's fleet. I remember that there is Enni on these ships. Let's consider activating the lattice cipher machine now." Ruprecht also did his best for Su Xiong and his fleet, providing supplies and support as much as possible. Regardless of what happened in the end, the prince can also say I have a clear conscience. As for whether Su Xiong's fleet can escape, it really only depends on their own level and luck. It is impossible for the prince to continue to pay attention to the situation of Su Xiong's fleet, because now, or in the near future, the drama in the North Sea is about to begin! For this reason, the prince had to put down his work, say goodbye to his family at the same time, and go to the Port of Kiel. The prince, who had already commanded several land battles, would command a naval battle this time and experience "a country can be decided in a few hours." Destiny” pleasure! At the same time, on Thomas's new flagship Malaya, Thomas, who had been exhausted physically and mentally from the day's battle, did not rest, because just half an hour ago, Ku Rear Admiral Er came to the Malaya. The arrival of this Rear Admiral, who was nominally assisting him but actually spoke directly to the Navy Department, was of great significance. He even said that his next answer and Major General Cool's opinion will directly determine the future actions of the hunting fleet, as well as the Royal Navy's evaluation of him. If Thomas wants to continue to complete the unfinished business of this battle, then he must obtain the approval of Major General Kuhl, or at least let him adhere to neutrality!
