"His Excellency Major General, our radio operators received a strange set of signals." As the fleet sailed toward the island of Crete, a staff officer reported to Scherhui.

"It seems that we may have been exposed, but we just don't know when they will come back!" Schell sighed and said helplessly. The radio communications of this era are still very primitive. Before the time of the wave band is reached, a radio station sends a signal all over the world knows. Interception is very easy. Of course, if the Moss code is not used, it is a bit difficult to decipher. In this era, the radio has not been popularized by warships, and ordinary civilian ships are even more unlikely to have it. Then the biggest possibility is that this is a signal sent by a camouflage reconnaissance ship!

The Mediterranean is the busiest sea area in the world. You can encounter many foreign merchant ships every moment. When Italian ships encounter them, they will naturally fight, and there is no way for ships with flags of other countries to be able to hide. Therefore, it is easy to hide when pretending to be a reconnaissance ship. After all, Italy is a great power, so it is easy to get a few reconnaissance ships to control a certain area of ​​sea area.

"Avoid the main route and we move north." Schell looked at the dense routes on the chart and then decided to avoid the edge for the time being, but unfortunately, this time it seemed too late!

At the same time, the battleships such as Agility 2, which were patrolling the Mediterranean, also received the telegram. At this time, they were less than 40 nautical miles away from Scher's fleet!

"We have discovered the location of this battleship! They are here!" An officer marked the location of the Schell fleet according to the instructions in the telegram and was ready to move north!

"The Germans came out a little early. Our mine-branch fleet has not yet been dispatched. If the Aegean Sea cannot be blocked, the other party can easily withdraw." An Italian officer said with some concern.

"It should be said that the Germans are ready to withdraw at any time." Jericho threw away the pencil in his hand and strode towards the map.

"The Germans came out this time, probably because of political pressure. They may not have the idea of ​​going deep into the Mediterranean to break the diplomatic relationship. At present, we are the only one among all fleets who can go north and lock the other party's retreat in advance. Since the mine-branch is not in place, we will block this gap!" Jericho said proudly.

At this time, Jericho was not the one who was in charge of the entire British fleet in later generations. North Churchill said he could lose the war in one afternoon. His conservatism was largely due to the heavy responsibility on his shoulders, not cowardice. Now, Jericho was just a captain, and the result of the battle had no effect on the British Empire. Moreover, the empire also needed data for this battle, so Jericho was eager to fight this battle!

"We may not be able to defeat our opponents." An Italian officer said with lingering fear. He once served on the Italian battleship. He witnessed the entire process of the destruction of this warship. He empathized with the power of Prince Albert!

"…." Jericho was speechless immediately. Before he could fight, he was scared like this? If he were a British officer, Jericho would shut him up in a small dark room. "We just drag our opponents, do you know? Hold them down. I will send a telegram to Duke Abuqilu immediately and ask him to arrive immediately."
