"So what if it's done? Anyway, our Fuso-class battleships are enough to suppress them! If they go slower, we might be able to kill one." Captain Yama Castle Colonel Ryutsu Matsumura said indifferently.

"But the Osmanthus cannot beat the Germans. In fact, the 12-inch side-string armor and turret cannot guarantee that it will be immune to the opponent's 350mm armor-piercing projectile. In fact, in the last battle, the Fusor could severely damage the Austro-Hungarian rapid battleship, which is also a component of luck." Major General Kato Hiroji sighed and said.

"Luck is sometimes elusive. Last time, we took advantage of it. So who will be this time? Who knows?" Speaking of this, Major General Kato Hiroji remembered a confidential telegram from the Admiralty before leaving. As well as the above content.

"If it doesn't work, it seems that this is the only way!" Kato Hiroji made up his mind.

"Do you conclude that the Germans will attack this time?" outside Machen Port, Captain of the King Kong battle cruiser, Colonel Keisanro Moriyama asked the commander, Lieutenant General Yamaya.

"Our transportation operation is not a secret to them, and if the German battleship has been repaired, then they will probably take action." Others from the Yamaya said without hesitation.

"Even if you have to face the Fuso-class battleship?" asked Colonel Keisanro Moriyama.

"Don't be too superstitious about the performance of the warships. We were just a little advantage in the last battle." said Lieutenant General of Yamaya. "If the Germans don't come out this time, then forget it, just treat it as a tactical cruise. If it comes out, then it's a good choice for us to solve this problem once and for all, right?"

After saying that, Lieutenant General of Yamaya looked at the fleet outside the window, two King Kong-class battleships, the Kwango and Kirishima, and two light cruisers, the Tsukima and Hirago. This is the hunting fleet in his hands! Of course, it is impossible to kill the Germans with these two battle cruisers. They need Fusang and Okama to hold them down and injure their opponents, the two King Kong-class battle cruisers will be used as surprises to win the victory in one fell swoop! Well, that's it!

The two German fast battleships in the back garden of the Allied Power not only bothered the British, but also made the Japanese upset! These warships were enough to stay in the port to make Britain and Japan have nightmares. With the nearest Indian Ocean-Red Sea route, more than 90% of the ships must detour the Horn of Africa from the South Indian Ocean and enter the Atlantic Ocean, and finally arrive in Europe. When the Allied Power chose this route, they had already lost half of the loss. There was no news of the two fast battleships attacking. If the Suxiong fleet was confirmed to attack, it would probably be that before the Suxiong fleet was hit again, more than 80% of the fleets would choose to hide in the port and not take risks? So, the Japanese decided to kill the Suxiong fleet completely if they could!

To this end, the Japanese Navy has formulated such a plan to lure the enemy into depth. The Yama Castle battleship and the Atsuma Horse were indeed covering the JP-15 transport fleet to Europe. This is true, but their mission is not only that, but also attracting the German fleet to attack, thereby biting the opponent. According to the Japanese plan, two days after the JP-15 transport fleet left, Lieutenant General Yamaya’s two King Kong-class fast battleships will follow up. They will ensure that they are about 100 nautical miles behind the JP-15 transport fleet!

The Japanese dare not get too close because they knew that the Germans had seaplanes and the visibility in the Indian Ocean was very good. If the Japanese dared to compress the distance to less than 60 nautical miles, it would be easy to find. In fact, the escort fleet of one Fuso proposed by Yamamoto and one Suma Mahjong were also very skillful. If it were two Fuso, then Su Xiong would not even have the idea of ​​fighting! If it was two King Kong, it would be sent. Not to mention two King Kong-class battlecruisers, according to the Japanese estimates, the two Okhor-class battleships might not be able to support the arrival of reinforcements!

"So, the fleet we escorted this time must give the Germans the idea of ​​a war. At the same time, we must maintain a balanced power and let the Germans knock off their front teeth when attacking." Ishiyuan Goro mentioned the escort issue of the JP-15 transport fleet in a memorandum.

When formulating this plan, the Japanese Navy, which can be crafted in tactics, also considered the issue of confidentiality. They could not decipher the German password called "devil text". At the same time, they also found that their naval passwords are not too difficult to crack for the German fleet. Therefore, in this operation, the entire JP-15 transport fleet had a set of backup passwords, and this password was only mastered by Kato Hiroji! When he used this new password, it meant that he had already fought with the German fleet. The fleet of Lieutenant General Yaya, who was following behind, would quickly rush to the battlefield. During the whole process, Lieutenant General Yaya would only accept intelligence and not issue them! In this way, the confidentiality of the operation was guaranteed to the greatest extent.

Of course, there are some risks in doing this, such as, what if the German fleet does not fight? Or if you just touch it, you can leave? Then you can only take a walk as others say in the mountain house, just treat it as a waste of time.

In addition to hunting Su Xiong's fleet, the Japanese Navy has another meaning, "From the perspective of military strength, we are almost equal to the German fleet. I want to know whether we can fight and win against the German fleet when the military strength is equal." Lieutenant General of Yamaya still remembers the sentence Ishiyuan Goro wrote in his telegram to himself. This kind of a bit naive idea that outsiders actually reflects the issue that the Japanese Navy has been paying attention to. How is the quality of the Japanese Navy compared to the world's first-class navy? The Japanese want to get an answer!

So, in the vast Indian Ocean, a game of calculation and counter-calculation, hunting and counter-hunting, a game of cicadas, mantis and orioles gradually kicked off!

"If Pearl is right, we can meet the JP-15 transport fleet in this sea area today." Colonel Schultz stood on the deck of the U229 submarine, holding up the telescope in his hand to search for sea level. Pearl is the abbreviation of another intelligence system. This intelligence system is composed of American merchant ships that have been patrolling the Indian Ocean for a long time. Their mission is very simple. A transmitter and an intelligence personnel can just send the situation you see through a telegram. However, just such a simple thing, coupled with the identity of the United States' neutral country, the Allies cannot completely destroy this intelligence network! Because it is too difficult to capture, before the British auxiliary cruiser rushed up, the intelligence personnel just threw the telegram and codebook into the sea.
