Camel fighter jets and cuckoo attack aircraft were neatly arranged on the decks of the four aircraft carriers. All aircraft have completed preparation and positioning. Except for some personnel who are commanding the takeoff of the aircraft, most ground crew members have left the deck. When the windshield at the front of the aircraft carrier was lowered, the strong sea breeze instantly swept across the entire deck, making the operators a little unstable. The aircraft's machine guns and bombs flashed coldly under the light. The propeller began to rotate slowly, and the entire aircraft carrier battle group had bullets loaded and could set off at any time.

"The German fleet's reconnaissance aircraft discovered us, but their fleet still had no intention of speeding up and leaving." Lieutenant General Duff said calmly.

"I know, send a telegram to Lieutenant General Thomas and Major General Hood, and Major General Hood is assigned to Lieutenant General Thomas to return." Jericho ordered.

"If this is the case, the main force of the large fleet will not even have a high-speed warship!" Lieutenant General Duff said in surprise.

"The only one who can really bite the opponent and cause damage is Thomas. We are just tools to entangle the opponent and the meat shield that gets beaten. Sacrifice us and then create opportunities for the fast fleet is what we should do, so I will give Thomas the best, just to hope that he can severely damage the Hippel fleet in the first round!" Jericho said.

In the 40 minutes before the battle, Jericho finally sorted out the tactical details of the battle. The Germans would definitely not fight head-on with the British fleet! Even if 22 of them were super fearless, they wanted to engage in artillery battles with 32 British battleships? How confident the Germans should be! Therefore, based on what the crown prince did before, he should use maneuver to gain advantages, and then seize the vulnerability points of the huge fleet like a poisonous snake and bite them hard, then maneuver - looking for opportunities - launch an attack, or wait for the arrival of the Spee fleet.

The fleets of both sides had fought in the North Sea before. The Germans' excellent tactical maneuver and super high speed left a very deep impression on Jericho. Therefore, this time Jericho would never allow this scene to be staged in the Norwegian Sea! So, at the moment of deciding to take action, Jericho pressed all the chips!

The Thomas Fleet and the Hood Fleet are the only existences that can catch up with the German fleet. They will concentrate their efforts to attack the Hippel Fleet with the cooperation of Betty's attack aircraft group. Although the latter has a higher speed, it is obvious that they will not be able to leave the main force of the High Seas Fleet to avoid the attack of the Thomas Fleet during the battle between the large fleet.

The British Fleet wants to concentrate its absolute superior force in part to severely damage an opponent's squadron. It is better to cut off one finger than to hurt his ten fingers! As for other battleships of the High Seas Fleet? Of course, there are large fleets responsible for fighting. Although from the overall strength, the remaining 21 battleships are disadvantageous to the remaining 19 battleships of the High Seas Fleet, based on the fighting method of exchanging injuries with injuries, if the Hippel fleet can be removed from this battle with an advantage of 11-on-4, then even if the large fleet is sunk 6 battleships!

As for whether the German High Seas Fleet will allocate additional troops to Hippel? This is possible, but unless the Germans allocate Hippel to 4 Bavarian-class battleships, Thomas, who has received support from Betty Air Force, will have an advantage after all! If the German High Seas Fleet lacks 4 Bavarian-class battleships, then the team's battle will obviously suffer in the battle. At this time, with the cooperation of Betty's second aircraft group, Jericho can also try to concentrate the Revenge-class battleships to launch a key attack on the flagship where Ruprecht is located! If it can be successful, it will be much more meaningful than severely damaging the Hippel fleet!

Overall, in terms of fleet strength, the large fleet still has a relatively large advantage. The high seas fleet maintains a balanced power or has a slight advantage in one direction at most, while the other is an absolute disadvantage! As for what to do with the German aviation power? Jericho's answer is very simple: "Cold, resist it!" There is no way. Now Betty has used all his strength when ensuring that the aviation needs of the Thomas fleet, including the large fleet. Faced with the carrier-based aircraft of the German high seas fleet, he can only rely on naval guns!

"This is a real bloody battle. Each of us is ready for sacrifice, just to kill more enemies before falling down. And the Germans think so! They are even more determined than what we do!" Lieutenant General Duff wrote in his post-war memoir.

At the same time, on the flagship of the German High Seas Fleet, Bavaria, Ruprecht also did the same thing as Jericho, planning the tactical details of the battle. As Jericho expected, Ruprecht would not have fought head-on with the British fleet from the beginning! The core of the German fleet is to take advantage of the advantages of carrier-based aircraft to give the German fleet a fierce blow to the British when the carrier-based aircraft arrives on the battlefield and give the German fleet the strongest explosive power, and then quickly distance the distance, waiting for the arrival of the next wave of carrier-based aircraft or the arrival of the Spee fleet!

That's right, this is a blowout. It can be understood as throwing all skills in an instant, then retreating and waiting for the skills to cool down, then go up and let it go!

Well, who should I choose this wave of attack target? From the importance of the target, Thomas's six Queen-class battleships are of course the most worthy of killing. However, Ruprecht knows the significance of the queens to the large fleet, and Jericho also knows it! Therefore, Ruprecht concluded that Jericho will definitely concentrate a considerable amount of air force to ensure the safety of Thomas' fleet. As for how high the carrier-based aviation power is in this era? The Crown Prince was still a little worried. After Spee's fleet almost perfectly defended Betty's attack, Ruprecht felt more worried...

And on the sea? Even though the Bavarian-class battleship has fierce firepower, it is still more difficult to kill the queen in seconds. Once Thomas finds that something is wrong and immediately whips up, the effect of Ruprecht's skill will be greatly reduced! Because the speeds of both sides are similar, it is really difficult to stop running to the German fleet. You can't always expect that something like a bomb in the water hits the power compartment or directly detonates the ammunition depot?

The British's aviation power was limited and it was impossible to provide enough cover to the entire large fleet. Therefore, if Thomas's defense is strong, then other places will be weak. If the main combat power and aviation power of the high seas fleet are concentrated in these areas with weaker defense, it will naturally be easier to achieve results! For example, the large fleet is the main team! So, which part of the large fleet should be found?
