"There is little chance of continuing to send two Fuso-class battleships this time." At this moment, Raidel's words turned the whole thing around.

"Two Fuso-class battleships that returned from Europe have just arrived in Japan, with a voyage of tens of thousands of kilometers. They should carry out maintenance, so they will not take action in the short term. A telegram sent by the US Navy stated that a main battleship suspected to be a Fuso-class battleship was found in the Philippines. Although Japan has just recently served one, if the sea test is tested, it should be near the coast of Japan. So, if the Americans' intelligence is correct, then at most one Fuso-class battleship this time." Raidel analyzed.

"So good, besides Fusang, what battleships can Japan be dispatched? If it is a King Kong-class battlecruiser or a Dreadnought, it doesn't matter to us. Just kill it in one wave. The King Kong-class battleship is a British battle patrol, and this thing is said to have a loss of a battle under any circumstances." Speaking of this, Redell's speech caused a chuckle, which shows that the British battlecruiser has become infamous.

"As for the dreadnought, we are not afraid. Although the defense is higher, the speed is only 22 knots. Moreover, the 12-inch gun cannot cause fatal damage to us. As long as the luck is not too bad, we can at least destroy a dreadnought. If the Japanese are not lucky, the Fuso-class battleship may be able to stay." Raidel said.

"But what if the Japanese were sending a Fuso-class battleship and a Sadma-class fast battleship? The Japanese knew very well that there were two German fast battleships in the Indian Ocean. Even if they did not send a Fuso-class battleship, they would consider sending a battleship detachment with close strength to provide cover." Su Xiong said.

"There may be a certain amount of destroyers. We do not have auxiliary warships, so we suffer a loss when fighting." A general next to him said.

"If it is a Fuso class battleship and a Maxi class fast battleship, in fact, no matter how many destroyers the opponent is, it is not important to the result, because this time, we are not leaving after a wave, but a long pursuit battle. They sacrifice the destroyers in exchange for temporary advantages, so what, we can leave temporarily."

"Actually, we are just afraid of Fusang-class battleships, because our 350mm cannons cannot penetrate the opponent's armor box at all. If the damage effect is in the case of both sides being unable to penetrate the opponent's main armor belt, the 15-inch cannon is higher than the 350mm cannon. Their number of cannons is greater than that of us, so under normal circumstances, we are indeed at a disadvantage."

"But the pommel-horse fast battleship is much worse than Fusang. The 8 14-inch Armstrong guns do not pose much threat to us, and the 12-inch armor belt is also within our breakdown range. Considering the dome armor, it may be harder, but there will always be a chance to hurt. Think about it, after a fleet sailed at a speed of 8 to 10 knots after leaving the Strait of Malacca, we have plenty of time, and as long as the Japanese neglected to guard, we will win." Raidel said.

"We can at least try, don't we? If we let such a fleet go, I think we will all regret it. And so far, the Japanese didn't know that we were ready to attack again and were helped by the monsoon wolf pack. We only have this chance, right?" Radell tried to convince the people present.

"Then let's try it? Anyway, if we want to leave, they can't stop it." Su Xiong was finally convinced. With Su Xiong's passage, after five months of rest, the German Indian Ocean squadron finally set off his sword again!

The wolves move first, don't underestimate these guys. Their endurance is not much less than that of fast battleships. Relying on the water's speed of more than 16 knots and 2 to 3 medium caliber artillery, such a little guy is enough to subdue slow merchant ships lacking weapons, even if the latter's tonnage is several times that of it! The first batch of six submarines secretly left the Persian Gulf and they will sail towards the Strait of Malacca. If nothing unexpected happens, they will encounter this fleet of transport numbers jp-15 not far from the exit of the west side of the Strait of Malacca.

Subsequently, they will keep track and provide guidance for the main fleet. According to the discussion between Su Xiong and Raidel, the ambush location should not be too close to the Strait of Malacca, because there are two Japanese battlecruisers in the former Dutch East India region. They can easily run at high speeds of more than 25 knots. If they meet Su Xiong's fleet not far away, the Japanese have a chance to send additional fast warships to support, and at that time, Su Xiong will be difficult!

Two days later, the fast battleships of Schánhorst and Gneisenau also rushed out of the Persian Gulf at dawn, and the seaplane mothership Swordfish and the fast supply ship Constellation were also operating together. The other six submarines sailed towards the preset battlefield in the central Indian Ocean. The German fleet's scheduled combat location was in the southern Arabian Sea, which was a certain distance from Malacca and the Red Sea. It was a place where the Allies wanted to take it, it was not easy to take it!

"Our intelligence reality, yesterday, the jp-15 transport fleet left the Port of Pontianak. At their speed, at their speed, at least the day after tomorrow, they will meet our reconnaissance submarine force the day after tomorrow, hoping that they will not implement light controls at night." Su Xiong said, lighting a cigar for himself.

"Let's go, Mr. Lieutenant General, the battle we need to face is not as difficult as we imagined. We are two lonely wolves, attacking the flock of sheep cared for by two sheepdogs. This is completely different from the two sheepdogs," said Redell.

"I seem to understand what you mean. If we just want to steal a few fat sheep, it can indeed be achieved through sneak attacks. But if we want to destroy the entire fleet, then fighting to the death is inevitable!" Su Xiong shook his head and said.

At the same time, the jp-15 transport fleet was sailing in the Strait of Malacca under the escort of two Japanese battleships and six destroyers. On the flagship Yama Castle, Major General Kato looked at the dotted line on the chart that was constantly extending towards the Red Sea and frowned.

"This is a bit close to the Persian Gulf. I don't know what the two German fast battleships lie dormant in the Persian Gulf are now? It has been 7 months since they fought with the Thomas fleet. And they have been back to the port for at least 5 months, so it's time to repair it." Kato Hiroji said.
