"Alarm!" When the British lookout was first discovered that before the British had time to report the news, a row of shells had already told the Stars where they were now!

The violent explosions and water columns as high as more than ten meters made the Americans on the ship realize the crisis. The wireless telegrapher quickly ran towards the transmitter, preparing to transmit the information through the medium wave. When he brought his headphones, noisy sounds came over. As the sender of the US Navy, he naturally knew what was going on. When several transmitters were sending newspapers close to the frequency, they would interfere with each other. Now, he can be sure that the British were interfering with his communications. The US Navy had done similar experiments!

"We are in big trouble!" Faced with almost unruly interference, the transmitter immediately stood up, then swung the stool under his butt and smashed it at the transmitter. The colleagues next to him began to burn the password book and related documents, and thick smoke surged out of the telegram room!

"They are destroying the evidence! We need to be quicker!" Major Wells immediately ordered the ship to lean on and use small-caliber cannons and machine guns to strafuse them!

"Stop the ship! Surrender!" The British flag uttered an ultimatum. The Star in the distance tried hard to avoid the opponent's attack, but for this auxiliary cruiser with strong firepower and a speed of up to 16 knots, such behavior was naturally futile. With a high-explosive bomb with small-caliber artillery falling on the Star, balls of flames spread wildly on the deck. The entire bridge was swallowed by flames and smoke, but even so, the camouflaged supply ship still tried to escape from the scene.

"Use 6-inch cannon! The Americans haven't recognized the situation yet!" With Major Wells' orders, the thick 152mml40 cannon aimed at the target. With the violent back seat of the cannon, a high-explosive bomb hit the middle of the target ship, and a shining spot of light disappeared. Then, a ball of flame rushed out of the crack, and a large hole of ten square meters was smashed!

When the 6-inch cannon fired, the StarChen finally arrived. The StarChen, which was originally the bones of a civilian boat, was beaten and covered in bruises. After several shells directly killed the boiler cabin, the StarChen could not even escape! When the target ship in the distance gradually stopped, teams of British soldiers took a small boat to wait for the ship.

"I authorize you to use all possible interrogation methods to isolate all personnel and review them. I only need the results and not talk about the process! Also, search for the remaining equipment and documents on the ship. It would be great if you can find the new German password." Major Wells ordered.

Accompanied by noisy noise and sporadic gunfire, the British Navy boarding personnel quickly controlled the situation and escorted some of the personnel to ships A and B. The British Navy technicians also began to collect the remaining technical equipment and documents on the ship.

And that night, a telegram was sent out by the British in a brand new password. Half an hour later, when Major General Coul received the telegram, he immediately called Major General Thomas who was about to fall asleep!

"We found them! 200 nautical miles northwest of the Chagos Islands! In the next three days, the German fleet will go to this sea area and join the supply ship! And now, we intercept this supply ship and know the time and place of their supply! Your Excellency General, what is left now depends on you! The maritime lifeline of the British Empire and the safety of the Indian Ocean depends on the performance of you and your fleet!" Major General Kuhl said to Thomas excitedly!

"Finished? This is the best news I have heard this year!" Thomas was also shocked, and his sleepiness immediately disappeared. He immediately went to the bathroom to wash his face, and then immediately asked all the senior executives of the fleet to prepare for a meeting. The British now have to race against time. It takes about two days for the fleet to rush to the ambush waters. There is not much time left for him to prepare in the port, and now it is probably possible to calculate in minutes!

In the eyes of ordinary people, since the ambush time, location and the other side's warship have been determined, then it's enough to start a film directly. What else should I discuss? If the war is so simple, wouldn't a general's more than ten years of military service and several years of naval education be wasted? Especially this time, Thomas's fleet is also a road battle, fighting with the Germans in a place he is completely unfamiliar with, so he must get the help of his Indian Ocean colleagues!

"Do you need the help of our other warships?" Major General Cour asked. As a naval general of the British Empire, what do you like to do the most? Naturally, he used the overall advantages of the British Empire's navy to crush his opponents cleanly! For example, in history, the British used their new battlecruisers to kill Earl Spey's armored cruiser in the Battle of Falkland.

In Major General Kur's view, although the Thomas fleet has the advantage this time, it is still difficult to chase battleships that may exceed their own in an open sea. Therefore, Major General Kur intends to mobilize some troops to participate in the siege of Su Xiong's fleet.

"No need, it's too late." However, Thomas did not appreciate it. This is because British warships in the Indian Ocean are generally based on old-fashioned front fearlessness. Not to mention limited combat power, their speed is even more terrible! Such teammates cannot rush to the battlefield immediately. Secondly, he believes that the sudden appearance of British warships in this sea area will alarm the enemy! Therefore, his requirements for the fleet are very simple. No matter whether they can fight or not, at least the speed must be above 24 knots. There are many warships that can meet this requirement. Even fewer ones can be transferred in a short time!

"Then you are under great pressure, because in a wide open sea, such an ambush is likely to turn into a chase." Major General Coul was not dissatisfied with Thomas' rejection. On the contrary, he was very concerned about the other party.

"I need some supply ships with speeds above 16 knots!" Thomas thought for a while and said.

"No problem, and we happen to have such a supply ship in the port in southern India. They are closer to the battlefield. Although the speed is slower, the time to arrive will not be later than that of the fleet. I can send a telegram now." General Cour said.

"Is there really such a ship?" Thomas knew how rare such a supply ship was. Even in the two battles in history, such professional supply ships could be listed as high-speed oil tankers. What's more, now?

"These ships were originally intended to cooperate with the Indian Ocean squadron to eliminate those auxiliary cruisers after you dealt with the German fleet. Some of the German auxiliary cruisers also sailed very fast, so they needed to give the hunting fleet additional supply ships. Now, I will use them for you first." Major General Kur said with a smile.

"Then I thank you again, General Cour," Thomas said.
