"Fortunately, we still have time to arrange the battlefield. Because of the fast refueling tanker, we can reach the battlefield as fast as possible. So I suggest dividing the four fast battleships into two groups, one of which lurks in the southwest of the target sea area, and the other group is in the north. According to the information we have collected, the opponent's fleet is very likely to enter the battlefield from the south or southwest."

"The task of the lurking group is to follow the German fleet after discovering the German fleet. You will be supported by the Japanese Navy's Akitsushi seaplane carrier. At the same time, there will be radio sideways to provide information to the ship." According to the British estimates, the German Navy will definitely contact the supply ship before supplying, and at this time, only the British and German navies should be left in this sea area. Therefore, as long as you find radio waves that you don't know, you can almost be sure that they are Germans! Then what's left is a!

"I have permission from my permission to whether the fleet following the opponent takes an attack. If nothing unexpected happens, we try to wait until the opponent enters the predetermined area before taking action. At this time, the Germans should be in the clamping of two squadrons. If an accident occurs, the lurking group should be responsible for entangling them, preferably injuring them. Or rush them to the position of the interception group!"

This plan is very simple, to put it bluntly, it is blocking both ends. In Thomas's opinion, if the Germans did not find the followers behind, the result would be the best, and two fleets would naturally attack the Germans together. If they found out, it wouldn't matter. There was an enemy behind you, and it seemed to be stronger than you. What would you do if there was a way out?

Of course, he ran in the opposite direction of the opponent! And Thomas reserved a very good position for the opponent! This is exactly the direction to return to the Persian Gulf! If the German fleet sailed in this direction, then Su Xiong would just encounter the other two fast battleships intercepted!

Well, if you face the suppression of four Queen-class fast battleships from two directions, the probability of the German fleet escaping will be very small, right? If you think Thomas' plan is over, then you will despise the IQ of this British major general too much!

After all, the Germans have two directions in the east and west in addition to the north and south! So, Thomas has another plan! The fifth battleship formation is not just 4 fast battleships and 6 light cruisers! And this time, Thomas also brought several "camouflage battleships"! That's right, it's a fake that was made by changing the appearance of civilian ships! These fakes don't even have a cannon of more than 6 inches, but from the appearance, they are no different from real battleships. Of course, compared with the real queen, these warships will definitely not run at speeds of more than 20 knots!

These camouflage warships were originally planning to hunt the German fleet in the fifth battleship formation while escorting the fleet with their power to quickly ease the sea supply line of the British Empire. After all, as a thief who was just a thief, the Suxiong fleet was not sure to go up after seeing several warships that looked like the queen. After all, the attack ships had to avoid fighting with opponents of similar strength, unless they had to be absolutely necessary. But unexpectedly, Thomas actually used these Sibei goods in this place!

In the four directions, half are real and half are fake. Do you want to try your luck? Thomas thought about the whole tactic from the perspective of his opponent. The only loophole in this plan is that there are not enough "fake battleships" and only 3... So if one of them is based on the principle of average, then deploying one in one direction may cause the opponent to jump over the wall. After all, the real queen cannot deal with two Schanehorsts. Once the counterfeit goods are fought, it will be instantly killed! In order to ensure that they are safer, Thomas deployed two additional light cruisers in the direction of only one Sibei cargo.

"This plan seems to have blocked all gaps, but it allows us to deal with difficulties in every direction. What if the opponent chooses to rush?" asked the captain of the battleship Barrym.

"If the Germans escape from the north or south, I believe that we can at least delay the arrival of other fleets under interception. If we go in other directions, the German warships are walking on two sides of a triangle, and we are walking on the other side. Our journey is always shorter than them. I have never thought of completely confusing the Germans, as long as they can delay time." Thomas said.

"Okay, if you have any better opinions, then let's put them in place now. If there is no opinion, let's divide them into groups. King Elizabeth and Barrym are led by me on the southern line. War-War and Malaya are in the north. Everyone prepare and start the action in 4 hours." Thomas did not give his subordinates too much time to think, because they really don't have much time now!

After a brief silence, everyone finally proposed the so-called new plan. Perhaps they were uneasy about Thomas' plan. But as Thomas said, if it was a simple pursuit, the possibility of killing the opponent was too low, and the most elite battleship formation in the British Empire was obviously impossible to be unlimited with the opponent Moji.

In the night, four Queen-class battleships and six light cruisers slowly sailed out of the port with the help of the guide ship. After determining the direction of navigation, the entire fleet formed two columns to sail towards the depths of the Indian Ocean.

At the same time, Major General Coul was also sorting out the information provided by the prisoners on the Star. The ship was seriously injured during the capture process and obviously could not be used as bait. Therefore, the British decided to provide another ship with similar appearance. Now, after hours of interrogation and through intermittent telegrams, Coul also had a rough understanding of the arrest operation.

The Germans were mentally prepared for the camouflage supply ships to be hijacked. After all, it is not difficult for the British to discover so many ships swaying in the back garden of others. Therefore, in each supply cycle, at least two ships can provide supplies to the German fleet, which means that half of the British Navy's work may fail... If the Germans choose another supply point, the fuel money for this operation will be wasted...

In addition, before approaching, the German fleet would send a confirmation telegram. The British had already mastered the password and working frequency band of the telegram, but the text format of the telegram was not clear. According to the captain's confession, one of them was chosen from several specific specifications. Only the captain knew this choice. But now the captain is dead! No one can determine which text format it is, and this can only be guessed!
