This pressure did not finally dissipate until the end of the war! But even so, at the Washington Navy Arms Conference after the war, all British representatives refused to shake hands with Admiral Hippel. Admiral Hippel's reaction was dull: "I don't bother to communicate with the losers who slaughtered women and children."&1t;/p>

Compared with the British's deep hatred, the German government and historians praised Hippel's behavior very much. First, German historians believed that under the conditions of international law at that time, even belligerent countries could not detain non-military materials transported to hostile countries, and they could not impose compulsory redemption on goods from neutral countries' ships. The British's practices had seriously trampled on the international code of conduct at that time, and for those who undermined the "rules of the game", the Germans naturally had to fight back.&1t;/p>

Secondly, the Germans believe that the British's behavior has extended the scope of attack to ordinary German people, and these people have no direct relationship with war, while the British's blockade puts them under the threat of hunger and disease. This behavior itself is a crime! The Germans understand that before any soldier actually wears military uniforms and goes to the battlefield, his right to survive should not be threatened by war. The British's practice has already pointed the contradictions at civilians, and the Germans will naturally not be ruthless to these civilian killers!&1t;/p>

In addition to the two countries in the hostile camp in this war, some historians of neutral countries commented on this prophecy of death in the North Sea, "In order to win the victory, the parties involved in the war gradually lost the most basic morality and code for victory and interests. The British behavior seemed soft, but it was a butcher knife that killed people without blood. When the opponent raised the butcher knife, the Germans naturally had to change their colors. Therefore, at the beginning of the war, the British chose to blockade, the Germans chose to fight submarines, and then the two sides continued to escalate in the battle between blockade and anti-blockade until they finally abandoned mercy and forgiveness."&1t;/p>

After Hippel issued this order to the fleet, although the fleet that followed that was carrying out the mission to break the blockade was no longer Hippel's battle cruiser, they were all silently executing this order, not only because they hated the British blockade, but more importantly, they did not allow too much sympathy in the war situation! The British's camouflaged submarine hunting ships have completely broken the "most basic trust between people". Therefore, for the sake of their own life assistance, it is better to do whatever they want!&1t;/p>

"Okay, remember my order and start the mission! I hope that before we evacuate today, there will be no more living British in this sea area!" Hippel ignored his somewhat stunned subordinates and said calmly.&1t;/p>

Five battlecruisers with a large number of light cruisers and destroyers dispersed in places that the British would never have imagined! They were looking for British warships like giant beasts hidden in the deep sea. At this time, these guys who were already very good at bullying civilian ships did not even think about what kind of terrifying existence they encountered this time!&1t;/p>

"We seem to have a big guy!" The 1oooo tons auxiliary cruiser Alsace said, pointing to the blurry outline on the distant sea.&1t;/p>

"Is it? It's that ship, can it be judged based on its appearance?" A British sailor under the mast immediately became interested.&1t;/p>

"It seems like a flying fish, yes, it's a flying fish! The guy who escaped from us last time was the longest ship I've ever seen, and I'll never remember it wrong." The lookout hand who used to be a sailor on a cruise ship and now becomes a volunteer soldier said excitedly.&1t;/p>

The high merchant ship that repeatedly escaped from his hands was not called Feiyu. It was just a nickname for the sailors of the Alsace. There were too many names of the ships and it was hard to remember. Therefore, some people who were impressed would always give a nickname. This time, the Alsace finally found this "old opponent". After informing the captain and the entire warship sounded the alarm for preparation, the Alsace began to approach the target.&1t;/p>

"Telection to the Minotao armored cruiser. This time we need his help. We can only keep track of it. The real hunting depends on them." said Captain Major Coast. The Flying Fish is a large cruise ship with the Swedish flag. It was previously a German express cruise ship, Crown Prince William. After the war started, it "transferred" to Norway, wearing a neutral coat to provide Germany with various supplies. Generally, it sails between the United States and Norway, relying on high to avoid repeated pursuits.&1t;/p>

Under full load, the maximum flight of this cruise ship is about 21 knots, while the Alsace used a 10,000-ton dome-armored cruiser to remove some artillery, but added more personnel and lightning protection equipment (such as wood in the watertight cabin and empty barrel). Then, the warship that was put into service in 1895 was finally loaded... So coupled with the tragic equipment aging problem, the original 22 knots of flight was basically out, and at most it could only run about 18 knots!&1t;/p>

"From the course, this guy intends to repeat the same trick and enter the Norwegian territorial waters. Fortunately, we can now cross the way to Norway and wait for the arrival of Minotao. Well, that's it! The warship heads towards 1 o'clock and moves all forward." Major Coast ordered.&1t;/p>

The Minotao armored cruiser is the last British patrol patrol. It was originally intended to suppress the existence of other cruisers. However, when the battlecruisers of Britain and Germany were launched, this class of warships became a very useless existence. They had no output, no degree, and no defense. They were originally intended to be used for escorts from the sea, but after the Suxiong fleet entered the Indian Ocean, they could not go here anymore, so they could only pull back to their homeland and act with the large fleet. If necessary, they could also use 1O-inch cannons and 7.5-inch cannons to deal with light cruisers.&1t;/p>

Now, because of the threat of camouflage attack ships to auxiliary cruisers, these last-generation patrols have been used in the North Sea blockade due to their huge endurance and strong combat power, and are specifically used to hunt down those cruise ships with higher flights and exposed German camouflage attack ships. Just a week ago, the Minotao just killed a camouflage attack ship called the Leopard, which originally planned to sneak out of the North Sea!&1t;/p>

Since the Fourth Armored Cruiser Detachment participated in the North Sea blockade, the overall situation has improved a lot. Compared with the camouflage attack ship, the armored cruiser with absolute firepower and aviation advantages is an excellent bodyguard for auxiliary cruisers, and the mission pressure has been reduced a lot.&1t;/p>
