"So, maybe this is our chance?" Ruprecht said thoughtfully. "We can imagine what would happen if Earl Spee's fleet entered this triangle and then suddenly disappeared at night using the cover of night?"

"As long as the count is still in this area, it is very likely that he will be captured during the day." General Schell said.

"But what if Spee fleet rushed out of this area?" Ruprecht said.

"Run out of this area, then the Spee fleet will be farther and farther away from us, because the Count can only move north to get rid of the tracking." General Hippel said.

"So what? Anyway, we have time. After entering the triangle area and being discovered by the British, the Earl turned to the north and entered the weak area under the British surveillance, and disappeared from the British Navy. At the same time, because the British wanted to intercept the Spee fleet, they must be in this triangle area or near. At this time, we can smoothly enter the Norwegian Sea! This will avoid the possible night battle with the large fleet!"

"If we were to deploy weak areas in the British, we actually had an advantage, because we deployed most of the submarines in the Norwegian Sea, while the British were in the North Sea! With the Norwegian air station, we had an advantage in the perception of the battle! It was difficult for the British local air force and the Icelandic air force to take into account such a large area!" Ruprecht said excitedly.

"So, the Spee fleet can perfectly avoid the tracking of the British fleet by taking a northbound route and cover our two strategic goals of going north. However, we only lost some time. But we can fight in the place that suits us the most? This idea is very genius!" Hippel immediately figured out the joint and expressed his sincere admiration!

This is what is called dark under the light. The British did not focus on other Norwegian waters. They believed that this place was too far from the North Sea, and the Germans would not take a detour first and then turn to the North Sea. As for the British who did not expect the German fleet to go through the Denmark Strait, Ruprecht believed that the British should have thought of it and should have a response. On the one hand, it was because the air station located in Iceland could take into account the direction of the Denmark Strait. In fact, the Denmark Strait seemed very wide, but considering the floating ice and icebergs close to the Arctic, the road was not too wide. If the Spee fleet really walked through the Denmark Strait, the British fleet could still choose to fight the Germans in the North Sea.

As for what confidence the British were in finding the German fleet? It was probably radio location and a large number of submarines deployed in the North Sea. In other words, Britain with geographical advantages could at least capture one of the fleets. But now, if Ruprecht's plan was successful, the Spe fleet was exposed briefly, attracting the British fleet's attention, and then using night to escape to places that the British would never have imagined, at the same time, restraining the British army's attention and allowing the German high seas fleet to safely enter the Norwegian Sea, the British would be in vain! Didn't catch both! And to the northern part of the Norwegian Sea, that was the advantageous area of ​​the German Navy! Are you surprised? Are you surprised?

As for whether the Speer fleet can get rid of the British after being exposed, the probability is still very high. First of all, the British fleet cannot completely hide its whereabouts. Just as the British can monitor the German coast, German submarines and long-range patrol aircraft deployed in the Norwegian Sea and the British coast can also monitor the British fleet. The approximate location of the large fleet can be found, so the Speer fleet can collect intelligence and maintain a suitable distance between the large fleet when it does not forcefully pass through the triangular area. Perhaps the British reconnaissance aircraft can discover the Speer fleet, but so what? With the assistance of the Independence aircraft carrier, the British will be unable to continue to guide the Count. Even if there is guidance, or even the first wave of torpedo aircraft comes, the fighter troops on the Independence will have the power to fight. If they enter the triangular area at the point of time, they can also use the cover of the night to temporarily disappear from the British.

For the British, as long as they can capture the Speer fleet, they will not cause trouble for the German high seas fleet. Although the British fleet has a greater chance of winning in the night battle, the Germans can not fight you! Compared with the tactical flexibility of the High Seas fleet, the Speer fleet is not so flexible. The High Seas fleet can never return to the offshore of Germany first, and the Speer fleet does not have a reliable port for protection and supply. Therefore, the British have no reason to put the Speer fleet that can be targeted and can easily wipe out, and they have to be entangled with the High Seas fleet!

"If there is no problem, then take action. Let's confirm the meeting point and timetable with the Count." Ruprecht said at last, and when Scher and Hippel agreed, the entire plan was finalized.

In order to minimize radio contact during war, Ruprecht finally chose to set up a convergence point to confirm the routes of both sides. At the same time, he discussed in the telegram how to deal with it if an accident occurs. In the next 8 hours, the two sides conducted multiple radio contacts, and some telegrams were even more than 2,000 words long! There is no doubt that such a long period of radio contact naturally attracted the attention of the British, although they could not crack the content of the telegram at all!

"The Germans are going to take action and order the large fleet and affiliated units to prepare to set sail at any time." Jericho immediately issued an order after receiving the news. Two hours later, the large British fleet left Forth Bay, sailed northward, and entered the Norwegian Sea from the strait between the Orkney Islands and the British mainland.

"We are about to launch the largest naval battle ever, is that right?" Sims said excitedly on the flagship United Power of Spee Fleet.

"Yes, we will make history together and witness glory." Earl Spey said after closing the telegram.

"Order the fleet to prepare to recalibrate the course, and at 12 noon tomorrow, we cross the red line and then act according to the plan of His Royal Highness." Earl Spee gave the order.

Then a fleet of 8 fast battleships, one aircraft carrier, and 24 destroyers (12 each of German and American destroyers) began to sail towards the Norwegian Sea. As a result, the Norwegian Sea Battle, which shocked the world, finally kicked off, and the first round of game between the two sides officially began.
