If Jericho and Thomas had previously talked about how to fight at the tactical level, then in this meeting, Jericho solved the strategic problem of the Royal Navy Fleet, that is, under what strategic situation to fight and where to fight!

Relying on the two important islands of Orkney and Shetland, the British Royal Navy obtained the best combat situation they can have at present. Jericho firmly grasped the core issue of the main force of the German High Seas Fleet and the Spee Fleet preparing to converge. The large fleet took the initiative to attack and fought with the German fleet as far away as possible with the support of land-based aviation. In this way, the British fleet could not only play to the advantages of the aircraft carrier they possessed, but also (the British did not know the existence of the German aircraft carrier at this time) could even obtain certain land-based aviation support.

Jericho has considered the various situations he faces. If the weather is clear, the large fleet will naturally use carrier-based aircraft to discover the Spee fleet. When fighting, it will first use a wave of torpedo attacks to consume and delay the Spee fleet. Then Thomas will take the British fast fleet to kill those German main battleships that were slowed down by torpedoes.

If the weather is bad or at night, then Jericho is not afraid of night battles! He tracks the German fleet through radio positioning and camouflage reconnaissance ships and intercepts them. Jericho's preset battlefield will definitely not be a narrow entrance between the Shetland Islands and Norway, because there may be a chance that the German high seas fleet will also go north. If the British fleet is attacked, this will be a big deal... So Jericho decided to engage in a mobile war in the Norwegian Sea and intercept the Spee fleet as far away as possible!

As for what if the Spee fleet forces through the English Channel? This is a matter of course, I can only ask the British Navy's submarines and mine-branching forces. In theory, it will cost a lot of money to break through like this, but the British cannot say how the Germans choose, and how much difference will be between the actual situation and the theory. We can only leave our people to fate! Anyway, Jericho has some confidence, that is, the large fleet will never enter the area south of London!

In the eyes of the British, this conference was a united conference, a successful conference, and a victory conference! It pointed out the direction for the future battle of the Great Fleet. It allowed the officers and soldiers of the Great Fleet to see the hope of defeating the German fleet. But is this really the case?

While Jericho held a combat meeting in Forth Bay, Ruprecht was also considering the final battle. Since Ruprecht could propose the method of letting the Spee fleet return to force the large fleet to take the initiative, he would definitely consider the consequences of doing so and the response of the British fleet!

"If I were Jericho, then I would definitely seize the time to re-develop aviation forces in the Orkney Islands and Shetland Islands. Relying on these two islands, we actively searched for the return Spee fleet in the Norwegian Sea, and then dealt with him in the Norwegian Sea! The final battle can only be in the Norwegian Sea!" Ruprecht said, pointing to the giant chart hanging on the wall.

Ruprecht was very clear about the British's ideas. As a time traveler, he naturally knew how to use land-based aviation power to cooperate with fleet operations to the greatest extent. So what Jericho could think of was naturally thought of. And the reason why he still promoted this plan was that Ruprecht would definitely have a way to deal with it!

At this time, there was a solid red line in the north of the Orkney Islands and Shetland Islands. This dotted line represents the combat range of twin-engine bombers based on these two islands, and there was a dotted red line in the north, which represented the patrol range of British four-engine aircraft. There were not many British V1500 left, so it was not enough for air strikes. The only threatening bombers were only bombers of the FB27 level.

"If this is the case, we are at a disadvantage. The British fleet can intercept the Spee fleet as far west as possible. It is difficult for our air force deployed in Norway to cover this area. The British fleet has a huge advantage in this area." Admiral Schell pointed to the position of the solid red line with the putter in his hand. A solid blue line next to it represents the support range of the air force deployed by the German Navy in Norway. There is a huge gap between the two solid lines.

"So, before the Spee fleet returns, we must first solve the situation of the war!" Ruprecht said with a smile, and then he asked the attendant to place the icon representing the High Seas Fleet in the places around the Shetland Islands and Orkney Islands!

"Before the Earl comes back, the High Seas Fleet will take the initiative! Use naval guns to completely erase the airports on the two archipelagoes from the ground!" Ruprecht said firmly!

"Is this too dangerous?" Hearing Ruprecht's words, Schell and Hippel felt his head buzzing. Although the main force of the large fleet is not deployed in the Orkney Islands now, they are also deployed in Fors Bay. In terms of distance, the British fleet is closer to the Orkney Islands! If the German fleet gets the news after departure and waits for the Orkney Islands, then this matter will be a big deal!

As for whether the British would be discovered by the British when they set out from Wilhelmshaven? This would almost certainly be discovered! It has nothing to do with whether the secret is leaked. Think about it, how big is the high seas fleet going out! The German fleet will not be invisible. Why do you walk more than 900 kilometers on the sea without being discovered by the British? The British have submarines under the sea and seaplanes on the sea. Even if you are sailing at night, the fleet will rush forward at a maximum speed of 25 knots, 250 nautical miles a night, less than 500 kilometers! This tm is just for delivery! Sher and Hippel are not afraid!

If you want to say that the weather is bad, is it OK? This can only be said to be possible. It is not certain. The navy is a one-time transaction, and a mistake may cause the fleet that has accumulated for decades to be destroyed. Do you dare to bet that you will definitely win? Sher and others feel that they can't make a mistake.

"If the air force we deployed in Norway can provide support, then we will at least be evenly matched with each other. The British rely on aviation bases in the Orkney Islands and Shetland Islands, and we rely on Norway. We have more bombers and more elite crew members." Major General Becken said.
