The Count rubbed his face with his hands to calm himself down. He began to analyze the current situation. According to the information sent by Schultz, according to the information provided by the submarine force, at least at five o'clock this morning, the French fleet was still anchored at the original anchorage, so it is only 3 to 4 hours at most. The French fleet's average voyage is about 16 knots. If it comes from Crete, it can travel about 60 nautical miles. That is, it is less than 120 kilometers, so it is impossible to reach here!&1t;/p>

So good... Then the count suddenly understood the idea. Yes, the French fleet cannot pass! The time is wrong! Since it cannot pass, the count is still afraid of a bad person! Who are you? Anyway, it cannot be the British fleet! The top-notch one is the Japanese fleet! I now have 4 fast battleships, and the Austro-Hungarian fleet has 2 fast battleships. If I can meet it, it would be strange if I can't fight!&1t;/p>

"Hold the grass, I was shocked..." The Count wiped his cold sweat. "If the French were not so smart that they used a fake fleet to fool us, then we might have other gains this time." The Count said with a smile. However, this time the Count was probably a little optimistic. At this time, they were about 1000 meters away from the signal source. With the fleet's largest 21-kilometer voyage, it would take 2 hours to arrive in the best case! Fifteen minutes later, the Austro-Hungarian fleet had already arrived in intelligence, and they had already fought with the Japanese fleet!&1t;/p>

"It's a little earlier!" The Count said helplessly. It takes about two hours now, and the Austro-Hungarian fleet will face the Japanese fleet. If Su Xiong is the leader, then the Count is not worried. After all, Su Xiong has fought with Thomas for more than two hours and is still the dominant one. But if it is the Austro-Hungarian fleet, this situation is hard to say.&1t;/p>

"This position is not very good! The Austro-Hungarian fleet seems to be faster than expected." Kato Tadakito put down the telescope in his hand and said with a little dissatisfaction. At this time, the Japanese fleet's position to enter the battlefield was not very good. The fleet was almost north of the Austro-Hungarian fleet. Judging from the expected route, the Austro-Hungarian fleet would just pass by itself. A huge T-shaped character directly barges on its north...&1t;/p>

It is not difficult if you want to break the opponent's plan, but two Fuso-class battleships need to leave the team and advance, and then stand in front of the Austro-Hungarian fleet. The British fleet behind them finds an opportunity to insert into the opponent's formation. How to say it? It's a bit similar to the retro cutting tactic. There are certain risks.&1t;/p>

However, if we do not do this, the position of the British and Japanese fleets will be very passive. Even if the fleet quickly turns to the northeast, then the fleets of both sides will sail in parallel and a good interception war will reach a pursuit war. If this is the case, the results will not be very good. Because the British and Japanese fleets seem to be slower than the other side due to the fearless drag of the two British ships...&1t;/p>

Actually, this is easy to understand. After all, the battleships Edward VII and Nelson followed all the way from the Indian Ocean. The fuel could be replenished, but there was no way to mechanical fatigue. And when they just came out of the Adriatic Sea, it was a distance between the British fleet...&1t;/p>

At the same time, the Austro-Hungarian fleet also appeared in the British and Japanese fleet with bad arrivals. Lieutenant General Negovan picked up the telescope in his hand and observed the opponent in the distance. Among the two, there were four main battleships, which were about the same number as his own. The two behind should be the British in front of him. And the two in front? It seems that he has never seen them! And according to the rough estimate, the length of this ship is a bit large!&1t;/p>

"We meet an opponent and are preparing to implement the No. 3 plan. At the same time, we contact Earl Spee, hoping that he can quickly bring the fleet to support!" Lieutenant General Negovan said. Although he did not plan to fight this time, it would be too fake if he didn't prepare a few plans! And this time it happened to be used! The so-called No. 3 plan is the plan with almost the same force on both sides.&1t;/p>

With the issuance of the order, the Austro-Hungarian fleet began to change its formation. Under the cover of 6 destroyers, 7 transport ships began to leave the battle line and sailed to the scheduled meeting point agreed with Count Spee. According to the count's call, the Allied Mediterranean fleet had arrived at the predetermined waters. If nothing unexpected happens, the transport fleet that left alone would meet with the Spee fleet in an hour. The Austro-Hungarian fleet, which abandoned the burden, could also fight with the opponent. The opponent was 2 fearless, 2 fearless, 3 fearless, and 3 fearless on his own. I feel that I am not losing money on it at least! In addition, the famous reputation of the Hurglan-class battleship, a buff called confidence has been added to the Austro-Hungarian fleet!&1t;/p>

Under the cover of the Austro-Hungarian combat fleet, the transport fleet began to leave, and the Japanese fleet was also ready. The two Fuso-class battleships finally fired their first gun on the European battlefield!&1t;/p>

"The fleet is handled, heading towards 2 o'clock, we will go above and above them!" Kato Tadakishi ordered! At this time, the battle is inevitable. The excitement and tension before the war made the Japanese lieutenant general highly concentrated. He now feels like a machine, starting to implement the pre-war plan step by step! And now, the first point the Japanese fleet needs to do is add, and then move to the front of the Austro-Hungarian fleet, and then turn north and cut across the opponent's route to form a t-shaped horizontal head. At the same time, his fleet will be backed by the rising sun to interfere with the opponent's distance measurement!&1t;/p>

All boilers in Fuso and Hinaga are already running at full capacity. The furnaces send large pieces of Welsh anthracite to the boiler bin. When the temperature and pressure inside the boiler reach a certain level, the injection port at the top of the boiler begins to inject dark brown heavy oil into the boiler. The blower blows the air drawn from the outside into the boiler, and the fuel and coal inside begin to burn under oxygen-rich conditions. The continuous boiler water turns into water vapor here, and then is sent to the gas turbine cabin at the rear of the boiler bin through a gas pipeline that lasts dozens of kilometers. The four turbines roar with sufficient gas supply!&1t;/p>

"The power system output has risen sharply!" "46ooo horsepower, 22 knots." "65ooo horsepower, 23.3 knots." "76ooo horsepower! 24.8 knots", "83,000 horsepower! 25.2 knots!" About 15 minutes later, the Fusang and Hinata almost reached their current highest flight!&1t;/p>
Chapter completed!
