"Is that true? Since that's the case, I hope this day will come soon." As a senior general of the Royal Navy, although Thomas has never done a counter-blade war, he still understands some principles. For example, the party who breaks the war will choose to take action on the busiest route. Especially for the Su Xiong fleet, this is even more so, because this is often the most efficient. The camouflage attack ship must defend against encountering the opponent's escort fleet and auxiliary cruisers, so it may ambush single ships in relatively remote waters, but Su Xiong is not necessary, and he even hopes to encounter the opponent's auxiliary cruiser...

Therefore, the counter-breaking party will definitely set the trap near the main route. In fact, the British Navy's plan is far more than Thomas thought! In fact, shortly after the Suxiong fleet took action, the British had already begun to modify the normal route. Now there are almost no ships from India to the Gulf of Aden... Generally, ships from the Allied countries go south from India, along Male, Diego Garcia, Rodriguez Island, then turn west, bypass Mauritius, southern Madagascar, and then enter the Atlantic Ocean through the Horn of Africa.

From the perspective of the voyage, although this has been a big circle, it also increases the cost of the German fleet's transaction. When the route goes east and south, the German fleet naturally needs to be further away from its base. It also needs more supplies. But these are superficial phenomena! In fact, the most fundamental reason for the British to do this is to roughly determine the position of the German fleet! And the specific means naturally cannot rely solely on camouflage reconnaissance ships! As the British Empire, which has remained leading in electronic technology until the Second World War, the current radio side technology has been very good!

That's right, you read it right, it's the radio sideways. This seemingly profound thing has actually been widely used in World War 1. Historically, the British began to deploy radio direction finding stations in eastern England in 1915. Using this system, the British could use the direction finding of the radio operations of aircraft and warships in the North China. The British used a Bellini-Tosi direction finding antenna produced by the Italian Marconi Company. Through a series of chain-shaped direction finding stations, the British's ability to control the North China Sea greatly increased!

In this plane, when the Suxiong fleet began to rage at sea, the British also installed these direction finding equipment on islands in the Indian Ocean to capture the location information of the German fleet and the American camouflaged supply ships. The routes taken by the Allied fleets passed through the surrounding areas of these islands, so this greatly increased the probability of the British capturing the German fleet through radio!

Although Suxiong's fleet did a good job, at the request of Redell, the fleet's communication frequency often changed, and at the same time tried to minimize unnecessary transmissions. However, there are so-called "stops" that are not wet when stations by the river. How can the radio equipment on the ship be compared with land-based? Therefore, the British can sometimes capture the whereabouts of German warships through radio technology and camouflage reconnaissance ships, although they cannot track them stably.

Now, the British plan has reached the last moment. They only need to capture a camouflage supply ship ready to replenish supplies, and then obtain contact information, password book and sea areas in the past few days! And now, at least three capture teams are operating in the Indian Ocean.

Each capture team consists of two ships. Both ships are auxiliary cruisers modified with high-speed civilian ships, with a maximum speed of about 15 knots. One of the auxiliary cruisers is equipped with 8 6-inch guns and a certain number of small guns, as well as torpedoes. This auxiliary cruiser is called a ship, assisting with possible auxiliary cruisers and camouflage supply ships to intercept Americans. The B ship itself does not have powerful military equipment, but it has complete electronic equipment, including multi-band radio reception antennas, Bellini-Tossi radio direction finding systems, and electronic jamming equipment!

That's right, you're right. With the emergence of radio communication, electronic interference also appears almost at the same time. At this time, everyone's radio communication frequency bands are mainly medium waves, and there is no frequency hopping and frequency conversion technology. Therefore, directly through blocking clutter interference, radio communications within a certain range can be paralyzed. The British's plan is so thorough that even the possibility of Americans sending early warning telegrams is considered. Without this level, the British cannot become the world's boss!

And now, the Second Operation Team has discovered a target 70 nautical miles west of Diego Garcia Island! The captain of ship a ship a is confirming the final information with his subordinates!

"The target ship is the Star, a ship with a registered tonnage of 5,000 tons. It was requisitioned by the U.S. Navy in July this year and was secretly converted into a supply ship. It carries at least 2,000 tons of heavy oil and other materials, with a maximum speed of 12 knots, and there is no military equipment. Half of the participants are retired from the U.S. Navy. The supply fleet is numbered AF-3. The German fleet will be refueled in four days. There are a total of 65 crew members on it."

"Ship A is responsible for the attack. First, the warning shooting forces the opponent to stop the ship, and then board the ship and quickly control the core compartment such as the bridge, the radio and telegraph room. We can use force and use disable weapons such as tear gas. Ship B will be responsible for suppressing the opponent's radio equipment. We will only take action at dawn and approach the opponent with the sun on the back! Now there are still 3 hours before the start of the operation." Captain Wells said.

"Now, let's keep track of the track, and the remaining personnel can choose to rest." Is it difficult to track a ship at night? To be honest, it is not easy, but if the other party does not realize the danger, the ship does not control lights, and the speed is only 9 knots, then tracking the ship can still be done. Two British Navy auxiliary cruisers that implement lights are now sailing slowly about 3 kilometers behind the Star. They are waiting now, waiting for dawn.

"Something seems to be following us?" When the Star's lookout hand rubbed its sleepy eyes and looked at the sea, through the thin sea fog in the morning, he could see two huge figures approaching him quickly!

"It's not that you were dazzled, right?" A colleague next to him blew. But soon, when a gust of sea breeze blew and the sea fog dissipated, the two Americans saw more clearly. Not only did they see the appearance of the visitor, but they also saw something that made them feel scared and unexpected! Two flags with red crosses on white background were quickly raised to the top of the mast! This is the battle flag of the British Royal Navy!
