"It's so, because of the fearlessness and sacrifice of the Seventh Destroyer Detachment, the Earl's fleet escaped. Although the other two battleships were in a bad condition, only one was sunk!" Lieutenant General Schell said.

"In this way, the British did not succeed in this operation." Hippel said.

"That's right, so the situation is better than we thought." Ruprecht thought for a while and continued: "If the British left, then the action tonight would be a small failure for us. Tomorrow we can still organize a considerable fleet into the Dover Strait. And if the British wanted our maritime blockade to be invalidated, they could only keep the remaining battleships of the Earl! If this were the case, at least it would delay their retreat!"

Ruprecht walked a few steps to the chart, used a calculation rule to re-estimate the British route and said: "If the British had not left the safety line of the Dover Strait at 4 a.m., then at dawn, the other party's location can only be here! This distance is far from the safety area provided by the British Air Force and is very close to the base of our land-based air force. We have a chance! A chance to send this British fleet to the bottom of the sea without using an aircraft carrier!"

"If we can kill this British fleet without using the aircraft carrier, this would be a very good choice." Admiral Schell was also a little moved. It was not that Admiral Schell did not trust the combat effectiveness of the aircraft carrier, but because he was worried that if the German Navy's last killer weapon was exposed, it might have an extremely adverse impact on the future decisive battle. After all, the secret weapon was the greatest when it was used for the first time!

"Then there are two questions now. The first question is whether the Earl can hold the British, and the second question is whether the British will choose to stop when they are ready?" General Hippel thought for a while and continued: "If possible, my fast fleet can cover the aircraft carrier team to enter the designated position according to the scheduled plan to standby, and the land-based aviation team can also prepare to take action at any time. Let's have a double insurance."

"I think it's OK," Admiral Schell said nodded.

"That's it." Ruprecht agreed to this. So from now on, the German Navy and the Bavarian Air Force will prepare for the ambush tomorrow morning. The navy handed over to Admiral Scher, Admiral Hippel and the commander of the naval aircraft carrier detachment, Lieutenant General Rodhart, and Crown Prince Ruprecht discussed the issue of the Land Gathering Air Force with Admiral Hard, the Director of the Bavarian Air Force.

The reason why the Crown Prince decided to discuss the plan with the Luji Air Force was largely because he believed that Count Spee could entangle the British, and at the same time he believed that the British fleet command would not easily miss the opportunity tonight! The Spee fleet is now the bait, and the German aviation power during the day is the hook. So now it depends on whether the British fish ate the bait and decoupled it, or was caught directly by the Crown Prince? In the dark, the Crown Prince felt that the Land-based Air Force would kill the British fleet tomorrow!

Of course, this is not a simple so-called feeling. It is largely based on data analysis. Not to mention the confrontation in the Straits region, just from the hardware point of view, the heavy aircraft owned by land-based aviation are not comparable to those of current carrier-based aircraft. Not to mention, the k8 bomber, after loading two 750kg torpedoes, the battery life and combat radius are two levels stronger than the German naval carrier-based torpedo machines... And in terms of firepower, the most advanced torpedo that the latter can be equipped with is only 600kg! And it can only be equipped with one shot!

Admiral Halder's professional ability is still very trustworthy. After calculating the possible operation routes and areas of the British fleet from the Navy, Admiral Halder quickly arranged a reconnaissance aircraft group and bomber attack waves, and prepared for the possible British fighter troops.

"The most serious interference with reconnaissance in the North Sea in the morning is morning mist. If you investigate at high altitudes, it may be a little troublesome, but it doesn't matter. We can arrange a large number of seaplanes to conduct reconnaissance at altitude close to the sea. If possible, I also hope that we can arrange several more submarines on the British's must-pass road, not to be able to attack opponents, as long as they can find their roughly whereabouts." Admiral Halder said.

"This is OK, keep going." Rupresitt said nodding.

"Are you attacking aircraft groups? The Swan Castle Aviation Team can fully undertake attack tasks, but just now, the navy's reconnaissance aircraft team sent a request, hoping that they can participate in the guidance of this battle and prepare for future actual combat." General Halder said.

"Haha, is this considered a two-way bet?" Ruprecht said with a smile. Each aircraft carrier of the German Navy aircraft carrier detachment is equipped with a reconnaissance/fighter squadron, with a number of about 12. In the future battle plan, 60 reconnaissance/fighter aircraft on these five aircraft carriers will be responsible for performing more than 50% of the reconnaissance missions! And this time, because it is dealing with a small British fleet, and it can almost predict the other party's navigation direction and location, naturally there is no need for as many as 60 reconnaissance aircraft to search. Considering that it is very likely to be intercepted by the ground-based aviation fleet, Lieutenant General Rodhart proposed the idea of ​​letting some naval carrier-based aircraft join the ground-based aviation fleet and implementing guidance together. No matter who catches the British fleet in the end, he can exercise the search and guidance capabilities of the German Navy aircraft carrier detachment.

"Good idea, please make arrangements for it." The crown prince naturally would not interfere with this behavior. After all, he knew very well that until World War II, the reconnaissance and guidance of carrier-based aircraft troops were a very high-tech thing!

In fact, after looking through the history of naval battles, before the two aircraft carriers fight, the reconnaissance planes sent out and did not find the opponent's fleet, or it was discovered. However, it is common for the attack aircraft group to find the opponent's aircraft carriers to not find the opponent's aircraft carrier fleet. After all, the combat distance of aircraft carriers is hundreds of kilometers away. In the era without GPS and Beidou, it is very difficult for an aircraft to fly in the vast sea to locate itself. Even if you discover the opponent's fleet, how you position the opponent's position and transmit this data back is also very difficult! After all, your own aircraft carrier fleet must also be moving, and positioning under such constant movement is really difficult!
