"But what if the Germans ventured into the English Channel?" asked a general next to him.

"Even when the Germans bombarded our city, I still did not mobilize submarine troops to ambush. We now deploy more than 70 submarines in the English Channel. If they dare to walk from here, I think mines and a large number of submarines will tear them off a piece of meat! So, for the large fleet, the only thing that needs defense is the northern section of the North Sea!" Jericho said.

"In order to welcome the return of the Spe fleet, the high seas fleet will inevitably adjust its state. If our estimate is correct, the Germans will at most carry out the shelling plan, and then all the staff will return to major German ports to perform artillery replacement operations. Our intelligence agency has shown that there are some abnormalities in the German military production and transportation dispatch, so before the German fleet arrives, we must also adjust the state to the best!"

"So when will we start?" Thomas asked. In his opinion, the sooner the fleet is, the better.

"I will contact the government. The various accessories, lubricants, ammunition and fuel we need are in short supply. We must provide sufficient evidence to prove that the Spee fleet is about to return before we can obtain these supplies. It will naturally take time to raise and transport these supplies." Jericho said helplessly.

Jericho is very depressed now. To a certain extent, it is up to the Germans to decide when the British Royal Navy will obtain these precious materials! According to London, the supply of materials in the UK is very tight now. Only when it is determined that "the German high seas fleet will meet the Spee Fleet" will it raise the supplies Jericho needs. And what is this standard? Naturally, the Earl's fleet leaves the Mediterranean and enters France for supply and maintenance!

"It's too late? Are there any problems with the guys in London?" Betty finally couldn't help it.

"There's no way, our performance has already disappointed the Empire," Jericho said. "So we can only do some basic work first, such as scraping the bottom of the ship. Well, that's it."

"When the main force of the German fleet began to change artillery operations, I thought I could persuade London to provide supplies as soon as possible." Jericho looked at his colleagues around him with a gloomy face and added.

"Is there any movement in the German fleet?" Jericho asked as if he suddenly remembered something.

"On the next day, the main force of the German high seas fleet returned to the Baltic Sea through the Kiel Port Canal. It seemed that they wanted to rely on the many ports in the Baltic Sea for supply and maintenance. The next attack will come very quickly." Betty thought for a while and said.

"Maybe as the end of the war approaches, it may become a normal situation for the German fleet to return to the Baltic Sea to recharge. After all, the main German military ports are in the Baltic Sea, and it is necessary for us to strengthen monitoring of the ports in eastern Germany," Thomas said.

"I will arrange it. Hopefully, before the final battle comes, we can adjust the fleet to its best condition." Jericho said with a sigh.

Just as Jericho was arranging his schedule, Ruprecht, who had already returned to Port Kiel, was also arranging his schedule. Similar to Jericho, the German fleet also arranged his time according to the lifespan of the main gun! The only difference is that the British made some mistakes in estimating the lifespan of the German main gun! Because the Germans used new shells and did not use strong charges while increasing the range of a certain range. The direct result of this gap was that the British believed that the Germans could only fire once and had to change the guns. In fact, the German fleet's main gun was enough to fire twice more!

However, what is even more terrifying is that the British's mistakes in the lifespan of artillery were actually under Ruprecht's consideration! It can even be said to be intentional misleading! From the perspective of the British, the German fleet will definitely enter a long period of rest after completing the second land attack. This period of rest is to replace the artillery. During this period, the high seas fleet will not take major actions, and the Count Spee fleet will not return without the high seas fleet. Therefore, the British can take it for granted, and this rest may require some main ships to enter the dock for maintenance. In this process, the main ships naturally cannot attack easily.

What about the Germans? This period may be so short that the Spe fleet could not return smoothly. However, taking advantage of the British fleet's slack period, the German high seas fleet cooperated with the aviation forces deployed in Norway to pull out the British land-based airports in the Shetland Islands and Orkney Islands! Before the decisive battle, the land-based aviation force that the British Navy deserves to rely on was removed from the battlefield, thereby gaining strategic advantages!

After completing the attack on these two airports, the German fleet carried out artillery change operations! This hit the British a time difference. After completing the artillery change operations, it was the time when Earl Spey returned and used this as bait to force the British fleet to fight to the decisive battle!

As for the German fleet's return to the port of the Baltic Sea, this was also misinterpreted by the professional British Navy - in order to complete the fleet's rest faster. Therefore, before the operation code-named the North Sea outpost began, Ruprecht had already misled the judgment of the British Navy's senior management!

The Germans also have their own schedule. When Ruprecht led the German high seas fleet to attack British coastal ports for the second time, Earl Spee will lead the fleet out of the Mediterranean and into France. When Ruprecht commands the German fleet to raid the British airports in the Orkney Islands and the Shetland Islands, the US aircraft carrier will arrive in France. Then, the German fleet will spend one to two weeks to complete the gun change and final preparations. At the same time, Earl Spee will run-in with the US fleet. When both sides are ready, it is at the same height as the British fleet!

Just as Ruprecht was preparing for the final decisive battle, Earl Spee, stationed in the Mediterranean Toulon Military Port, was also preparing for the departure. He would lead the fleet across the Strait of Gibraltar and then enter the port in western France for rest. After merging with the American fleet on the other side of the ocean, they would go to the North Sea as bait to attract the British fleet to attack, and together with the headquarters of the High Seas Fleet, a destiny showdown with the large fleet in the Norwegian Sea! The winner will take over the scepter of the Shanghai Emperor on this planet!
