Chapter 861 Prelude to the Great War!
However, what Tirrit is most confused about now is this. He vaguely felt that something was wrong, because when the Hippel fleet came out in the past, the five battlecruisers were lined up in a row, which was easy to see clearly. But now, the situation is a little different, and it seems that there are too many escort warships on the other side?&1t;/p>
Looking at the entire fleet of light cruisers located to the west of the fleet, Brigadier General Tyrit fell into deep thought. He didn't dare to take some telegrams easily!&1t;/p>
"According to past experience, this should be Hippel's fleet, but why do I feel a little weird?" Looking at the blurred ship shadows in the distance, Brigadier General Tillet was a little confused. After looking at the fuzzy ships in the distance, he finally found the problem. It seemed that all the warships looked similar. According to his memory, the three Moltch-class battlecruisers in Hippel's fleet were similar, and Blüchel and von der Tinn were similar.&1t;/p>
"The German fleet consists of about 5 warships, but their light cruisers are relatively large, and they may have two squadrons. The 18th quarter of the flight is moving towards the Dogel Sands." After a while, Tirrit finally sent the telegram.&1t;/p>
At this moment, Betty didn't care about the first half of the telegram. He only needed to know the navigation, location and direction of the German fleet! The Hippel fleet appeared, they were seen by the Haric fleet, and they were tracked steadily, and headed north! The position of his fleet was on the east side of the Dogel Sand! Lieutenant General Geram's fleet was in the northeast of the Dogel Sand. In this way, the two fleets formed a clamp-shaped encirclement, waiting for the Germans to jump inside!&1t;/p>
"We have the most perfect state of combat! The only problem now is that if the Germans choose to turn around and run, it will be a little trouble." Betty, who was ecstatic, walked back and forth on the bridge. He had his staff report on the position of the fleets on both sides almost every three minutes, and frequently contacted the Harrich fleet.&1t;/p>
For this general, who is known as a brave war, the only thing he is worried about now is that when his fleet appears, Hippel is so scared that he dare not fight! Although he is blocking the German fleet's return, as long as the Germans are willing to pay a certain price, they still have a chance to run out. Not doing their best, this is a very serious problem for Betty. As for, if you can't win? How is this possible?!&1t;/p>
"Fleet voyage is raised to 26th quarter!" Betty suddenly ordered.&1t;/p>
"General, the Warriors may not be able to keep up, and Lieutenant General Geram will definitely not keep up." An officer said.&1t;/p>
"So are there any problems with New Zealand and Australia?" Betty asked without looking back.&1t;/p>
"There is no big problem. The two battlecruisers have minimized their loads and the ship is in the best condition. They can run more than 25 knots during the trial voyage, and there is no big problem with 26 knots." The officer thought for a while and said.&1t;/p>
"Then there is no problem. We have 6 ships and 5 ships of Hippel, which is enough! Let Major General Moore and Lieutenant General Geram follow behind to clean up the injured warships!" Betty said without hesitation. If it weren't for the powerful combat power of the Warriors, Betty might even throw it aside. For Betty, the meaning of not being able to catch up with the opponent's warship is really limited. "It would be great if the guy in front was another battle patrol!" Looking at the warrior in front of him, Betty said leisurely.&1t;/p>
So the entire fleet began to raise the question, and a large amount of Welsh white coal was sent into the boiler. There were no more than 20 boilers on the battle cruiser that quickly converted the energy of these coals into high-risk high-pressure water vapor, and then supplied the roaring steam turbine through the pipeline. When the temperature reached a certain level, the fuel nozzle located in the boiler began to spray heavy oil, which made the entire battleship's navigation level go to the next level!&1t;/p>
In this case, the Warriors battleship had to fall behind, and Betty seemed to feel that the speed was not fast enough. A few minutes later, he asked the fleet to increase the flight to 27 knots! At this time, General Moore's two warships were already a little overwhelmed. When Betty gritted his teeth and raised the flight to 28 knots, the four battlecruisers in the front team had a relatively obvious gap with the two behind!&1t;/p>
"The British's radio communication frequency began to surge. If I guess correctly, we are closer!" Schell walked up and said to Prince Ruprecht. "And we now have three signal sources, one is the British light cruiser behind us, and the other two are in our northeast direction, one is Betty. We can tell from the method of the radio officer, and the other seems to be a new fleet." Schell could not help but worry in his words.&1t;/p>
"It doesn't matter, just make sure it's not a big fleet." The prince said indifferently. People will have fingerprints, and telegrams depend on people, and they will also be mixed with personal marks. This is the so-called reporting method. The German fleet and Betty have had too many dealings. As long as the reporter does not replace people, it is natural to determine which signal source is Betty. Although the other signal source cannot be determined, Schell can also guarantee that this cannot be a big fleet.&1t;/p>
The reason is very simple. Even if the large fleet is ready to raise fire and go to sea since they get the news, they cannot feel it at this time. Moreover, from the Shetland Islands to the Dogers, the German submarines have deployed at least three cordons and 5 airships. With the size of the large fleet, if they pass through this area, there is no reason for the Germans to fail to see it. Not to mention anything else, the thick smoke from various warships covering the sky is enough to expose the whereabouts of the fleet!&1t;/p>
"But it may be a battleship formation, or even a dreadnought formation, about 4 ships." Sher said with some concern. Sher was also very brave, but he did not fight to the point where he thought that his seven warships could be pk with the opponent's 11 or even 12-day warships.&1t;/p>
"So what? How many warships the other side has does not mean how many when fighting with us. Don't worry." The prince said calmly, "Let Rear Admiral Hepinghaus, the First Light Cruiser formation, go forward to reconnaissance, we need to meet Betty as soon as possible!"&1t;/p>
For the prince, the same opportunity must not be lost and never come again. God knows when the fleet will come! If you can fight, fight as soon as possible. Look up and look at the sky. Well, the weather is good. It is a good day to eliminate grudges in one shot!&1t;/p>
Of course, the prince also paid attention to Schell's reminder, but Ruprecht had obviously made a response and was waiting for the British to come up! Shortly after the First Light Cruiser Team in front went out, they found the Betty fleet running towards this side!&1t;/p>
