"Don't be busy with thanks for it first. We can provide more help. We can arrange a seaplane mothership for your fleet to detect the location of the opponent's fleet." Major General Cour said.

"You're so thoughtful." Thomas said unexpectedly. Seaplanes are not new. All major naval powers have them, and there are also first-class naval seaplane motherships, but it is not easy to have such a ship in the Indian Ocean area far away from the core war zone. At least in Thomas' memory, the famous seaplane motherships of the British Navy should be in the local and Mediterranean.

"This is not what we think. This seaplane aircraft carrier belongs to the Imperial Japanese Navy. You know, they also suffered heavy losses in the last attack. Not only did they lose tens of thousands of army officers and soldiers, but they were also sunk two quasi-fair ships. You don't know, when I told the Japanese about this, their faces were ugly, just like green potatoes."

"Although they rejected the Empire's request to send the Japanese Navy to siege the Suxiong fleet, they expressed their willingness to send auxiliary forces to help the Empire fleet kill the Germans. Therefore, this seaplane carrier named Akizushi was sent to India. The Japanese captain who commanded the seaplane seemed to be named Suzuki Kantaro. He was a colonel."

After summarizing the previous attacks of the Suxiong fleet, the British found that in the better sea conditions and better weather, the warships carried seaplanes greatly improved the fleet's reconnaissance capabilities. Especially in the Battle of the Gulf of Aden, if the German seaplanes had not accurately determined the position of the British transport fleet, the German attacks would not be so accurate. They were caught off guard when the British were unprepared. Therefore, when the Japanese said that they could not send the main ship to help encircle and suppress, the British asked the Japanese Navy to provide at least one seaplane mothership so that they could at least tie up the advantages of the Suxiong fleet in aviation reconnaissance!

Up to now, Major General Kurd has done everything he can do, providing you with supplies and eyes. It is replaced by the terminology in later generations of lol games. If you walk on the road and pk, you have already matched the nurse with your eyes. It depends on whether you can keep your opponent! You will hit 2 of them with 4. If you can't catch them, you can't blame the support! But in fact, even if the support is fine, it is still not easy for Thomas to catch Su Xiong!

There is no way, Naval War doesn't want to have control, jump, and teleportation like that in the game. If Thomas directly leads the fleet to ambush at the ambush site and immediately runs over to start the movie after seeing Su Xiong's fleet, then... Basically, the British shouldn't be able to catch it...

Nonsense, if you can catch your opponent so easily, then the sea attack industry will die long ago. Otherwise, why would there be sea attack ships in 2 Battle? Especially when Thomas encountered this time, it was even worse to a certain level. The other party's theoretical speed seemed to be faster than himself. That's good, tell me, if the other party discovered the British and the British artillery could not reach the opponent, how could you keep them?

Some people may say that the German fleet may not be able to run at this speed due to fuel and ship conditions. Yes, this is true. As a warship with the advantageous side at sea, its ship condition will generally be better and its supply will be more sufficient. However, the problem is that the Suxiong fleet has not been out of the port for a long time. It seems to be about 28 days, and the ship condition is quite good. In general, the boilers of the Schänhorst-class rapid battleship will not be used all, and there are always some for backup. If those unused boilers are ignited, the situation will naturally be very good.

Taking the situation of the Count Spee fleet in history as an example, if calculated on August 1, 1914, (German declared war on Russia) to December 8, 1914, the Count Spee fleet sailed at sea for 4 months, which is nearly 130 days! When the Battle of Falkland, the Count Spee fleet was in a bad situation. The two main battleships were said to be at a speed of 15 knots. They naturally could not beat or escape when facing two British battlecruisers that had just arrived from the local area.

But the Suxiong fleet is different. They came out after resting and were out. They were in less than a month and the ship was in very good condition. It is worth noting that the Suxiong fleet's warships were mixed with kerosene, and were mostly fuel-used (there is no way, getting fuel in the Mesopotamia is much more convenient than getting coal...). Therefore, the burden of cleaning the flue will be very small, and the pressure to clean coal ash is not enough, so the ship condition is naturally much stronger than the Earl Spey fleet that has been sailing at sea for more than 4 months.

Therefore, even if the British estimate with the most optimistic attitude, the speed of the German fleet may still exceed those fundamentalist dreadnoughts under the current circumstances! If everyone runs at high speed, the Thomas fleet will only have a speed advantage of about 1 knot at most. Don’t forget that there is another subtext for sea navigation that is that the fuel is not too much, and the load will continue to be loaded. The speed will be faster in a short period of time!

What if the Queens of Thomas are about to leave a quarter? Do the simplest elementary school mathematics pursuit problem. If the German fleet discovers the British fleet 25 kilometers away (actually this distance is already close). The Queen's attack distance is 15 kilometers. (This distance is not far or not, the normal combat distance in one battle. Of course, the author does not deny that there are many hits from one battle 15 kilometers away.)

Well, now the question is, how long does the British fleet need to chase after it to include the German fleet in its range! One nautical mile is equal to 1825 meters. If you calculate it roughly, it may take 6 hours... And what does 6 hours mean? What if it gets dark in one day? Then this calculation is vain! Where do you ask the British to find the Germans the next day? It is dark in one night, chasing two light controls, and can run a warship with a speed of more than 20 knots. You can find opponents within the visual range the next day. What you need is not only technology and experience, but more luck! The kind of luck that can win 5 million in a lottery!

Therefore, even if you know the time, place and person who appeared, if Thomas wants to write a perfect and thrilling article, you still need to think carefully about how to start! Su Xiong is not a mediocre player, and Thomas is destined to take some brains to capture his opponent.

"Okay, since you're all here, let's assign a task first." Thomas said.
