"The two armored cruisers must be preserved as much as possible, and their degree is enough to escape the attack of the British main battleship. So good, now, the two armored cruisers are handed over to Colonel Feng. He can decide when to withdraw from the battlefield depending on the situation. I will divide half of the destroyers to accompany Colonel Liule, and I will command the two battleships to continue to lure the British main fleet. My mission goal is very clear. Before 4 o'clock, I will definitely not allow the British to leave the Dover Strait!" said Earl Spee.&1t;/p>

The Count's order was quickly transmitted to all the warships through the light signals. A moment later, a set of light signals was sent on Colonel Feng Liaole's flagship Cologne: "Our fleet will do its best to cooperate with your actions." Then the two armored cruisers began to head northwest.&1t;/p>

"The Commander, Colonel Liaole does not seem to be planning to leave." said an officer.&1t;/p>

"I have handed over the commander to him. How to deal with it is his business. Now, start our actions and prepare to report it!" Earl Spee said.&1t;/p>

That's right, it's just that Earl Spey has only one way to restrain the British fleet, that is to expose himself! Of course, the direct command of the flagship to expose himself is too low. Not only can the British kill themselves easily, but it will also make Thomas, who is cautious by nature, doubt the Count's motives. Therefore, Earl Spey's strategy is to first use the reporting equipment on the destroyer to attract the attention of the British. At the same time, the two main battleships continued to attack the British warships inside the strait, so that the British felt that this was a normal exchange between the German fleet and the aviation force!&1t;/p>

Ten minutes later, in the command tower of the battleship of the Bold, the British received a piece of information as promised.&1t;/p>

"Hisser Commander, we have found a radio signal source in C42. According to our comparison, this should be from the German fleet that has just been evacuated." said the officer in charge of radio analysis.&1t;/p>

"Is it the German main ship?" Thomas asked.&1t;/p>

"It shouldn't be. We are very familiar with this signal. It should be derived from the destroyer. The Germans have done a very good job in keeping the signal confidentiality of the main ships. We can never confirm it." The officer said.&1t;/p>

"It's okay, we can wait slowly! The Germans don't have many destroyers, and there shouldn't be many torpedoes. They engage in artillery battles. These guys can't even beat third-class protective cruisers 30 years ago. We only have two things to do now. The first thing is to cooperate with the air force and patrol forces to seal the exit of the Dover Strait. The second thing is to find their main ships and kill them!"&1t;/p>

Of course, Thomas would not immediately command the fleet to rush forward because of a telegram. What if the Germans lure themselves out of their current position with destroyers and take the opportunity to slip away? Thomas's idea is very simple. I will attack again after seeing your main ship. Anyway, all German records were injured in the battle just now. The former dreadnought battleship is definitely not as fast as its own, so it is no problem to catch up.&1t;/p>

Moreover, from the terrain of the Dover Strait, the more east the sea goes, the wider the sea surface, the harder it will be for the British fleet to blockade, and the Germans chose to go west. So, the Dover Strait began to narrow gradually, and the detection density of the British fleet will also increase. Just like combing the hair, the German fleet will definitely not be able to escape! Now, the only thing that makes Thomas feel difficult is time. The British and German navy are racing against time. I read it in Thomas. Germany [31 Novel Network] People want to hold on until dawn to wait for air support, while the British must escape from a safe distance before dawn!&1t;/p>

"Mr. Commander, we have actually hit our opponents hard. Tactically, we have won. One of their three battleships was sunk and two were seriously injured. In a short period of time, Colonel Wells, the captain of the bold, glanced at the clock on the wall and persuaded in an tactful tone.&1t;/p>

"The Germans have 7 former dreadnought battleships and 4 armored cruisers." Thomas' tone was very calm: "According to the information we collected before, these warships are rotated every day, and three of them will be in maintenance. After all, they are old ships. The German fleet must maintain a fleet size of 4 to 5 ships. If we let them go this time, the Germans will have at least 2 cruisers in use, then the next night will still come to the Dover Strait to stop us from acting. If we cannot solve them tonight and lower the number of warships they can use to a certain limit, we may never have a chance!"&1t;/p>

To be honest, Thomas' plan can only be implemented once! This time, the reason why Thomas was able to bite the Spee fleet was largely because Major General Gonte's former fearless fleet dragged down Earl of Spee. It attracted a large number of reconnaissance forces from the German Navy and Air Force, which gave Thomas an opportunity to take advantage of it!&1t;/p>

However, the price of this delay was also very heavy. The deaths and injuries of the Gonte fleet were probably not the chance to go to the battlefield before the end of the war. Now, the Strait fleet, which once gathered 30 former Dauntless Battleships and Armored Cruisers, has become a thing of the past. The Strait fleet can no longer produce a fleet as bait! The German fleet, which was stolen once, will definitely improve its defense system. It is too difficult to calculate an old oil field like Earl Spee again. Moreover, this behavior itself is a tiger's mouth pulling out the teeth. At night, the British fleet chases the German fleet and fights. During the day, it becomes a German bomber chases the British fleet and fights... The danger will be more than a point! So, Thomas decided to break up between each other tonight!&1t;/p>

Under Thomas' command, the British fleet began to gradually shrink the encirclement, and at the same time, in a building in Wilhelmshaven, senior officials of the German High Seas Fleet were also planning tomorrow's battle.&1t;/p>

"This is the situation now. If the British choose to stop when they are good and evacuate immediately, then we will only be able to block the British fleet's road home by dispatching aircraft carriers tomorrow." Admiral Schell said with a push rod in his hand and pointed at the large-scale chart hanging on the wall. On this chart, several curves of different colors indicate the tracks of the British Navy. These tracks are all estimated based on the time when the British fleet returns at different time points. A huge ellipse in a certain area to the north indicates the possible position of the British fleet at dawn! This position will be the area where German aviation forces focus on reconnaissance.&1t;/p>

"According to the telegram of the Count, we only have one battleship sunk?" Ruprecht asked.&1t;/p>
