Chapter 1102 The hunter ready to go

"Now the fleet has entered its best state, we can perform attack missions at any time." Major General Moore, commander of the second detachment of the British Fast Fleet, reported to Lieutenant General Thomas sitting in the main seat.

"The Navy's radio monitoring station in the Shetland Islands, as well as the modified V1500 large radio side aircraft, and camouflaged cruisers are also ready to be in place. An invisible large net has appeared in the Norwegian Sea. As long as the Germans dare to use their radio communication equipment, we will definitely catch them!" Colonel Holland from the intelligence department of the British Admiralty also said confidently.

"On behalf of General Jericho, I guarantee that the submarine force has approached the German coast to establish a blockade line. If a large-scale deployment of the high seas fleet will be made, we will definitely block them!" As Jericho's representative, Hood expressed the support of the large fleet for Thomas. Just as Lieutenant General Thomas was preparing to express his gratitude to his brother's unit, the red confidential phone on the table rang.

"Lieutenant General Thomas, you are now responsible for the glory of the entire Royal Navy for hundreds of years and the national destiny of the British Empire. I hope you will succeed! So far, we have lost 3 baits, and the fourth bait has been placed in your hunting ground. That's it!" Churchill, opposite the microphone, had no intention of hearing what Thomas said, and put down the phone directly.

"The fourth bait is already in place? It seems that the hunter is about to prepare for construction." Thomas really admires Churchill's methods, not only the supply and the required materials are in place. Although these are difficult, they can be done. The most important thing is that he can also arrange "bait"! This is to let a person and a boat deliver it! Although it makes sense, in terms of emotion, even Thomas, who proposed the plan, felt a little uncomfortable. Churchill was not burdened at all when doing things!

In fact, if the prince is here, he would definitely say Thomas, you are really a turmoil! You should know that in the second battle Churchill was exposed in order to prevent the password from being exposed, a city called Coventry was washed once by a German bomb. What is the point of arranging a few baits? As long as you can win, God will forgive me.

"Okay, you and I have no way out to become a hero or a sinner. Now, we need to know the situation." Lieutenant General Thomas signaled the staff to introduce the latest situation.

"German warships have appeared again, this time there are still two. Judging from the information sent back by the submarine, one of them is the first generation of the German Navy, and the other should be one of the Moltke-class battlecruisers. It is not two super fearless, nor is there a terrifying Bavarian-class battleship. They are expected to rush out of the North Sea in one day." Then the staff member marked the presumptive tracks of the two warships attacked on the chart.

"Very good, one ship is fearless and one ship is super fearless, and it is not strong enough. The two queens can handle it." Thomas nodded. This time, Thomas' arrangement for the queen is still two ships in a group. The seven queens are divided into 3 and a half groups, and the other one who lands the bomb will meet with General Moore's second squadron. In this way, the entire hunting group will be matched with three double queen formations and one four-ship formation.

When performing the task in detail, the three queen formations are responsible for encirclement and consumption, just like the bullfighter who uses red cloth to tease the bulls in the Spanish bullfighting competition. The last four ship formations are bull killers, as the final solution to the existence of the opponent!

"I will personally command Queen Elizabeth, Malaya and a seaplane mothership to wait for the appearance of the German fleet near the bait. And be responsible for direct stalking. If I lose, then good, the second group, Barrym and Warwoman intercept with the help of the seaplane and radio side planes. The third group is deployed to the west of the bait and be responsible for interception. General Moore's squadron will cruise near the former North Sea blockade line. Put the opponent back suddenly." General Thomas repeated his plan again.

After experiencing the hunt in the Indian Ocean, Thomas is also an old fry. He is very clear about the potential of a fast warship. The German battlecruiser is very fast, and it is not difficult to run for 27 knots. However, if you want to maintain this speed, the machinery must operate normally and have enough manpower to add coal to the warship's boiler. In theory, the German warship can always maintain such high speed, but in fact? Take the Goben in history as an example. When he was chased by the British Mediterranean fleet in history, the Goben did not actually reach the maximum speed, and it has always escaped at a speed of about 24 knots. Even in this case, four furnace stewards died due to fatigue and harsh environment. Mechanical equipment also occurred in this situation such as steam pipeline breakage. Of course, because the British's combat patrol was not in good condition, Goben ran away.

The biggest advantage of Thomas' queens is that he does not use manpower to shovel coal! They are all heavy oil! This makes the queens not restricted by manpower! Although the speed difference between the two sides is more than 2 knots, the German fleet cannot be the highest speed throughout the journey, while the British queen is possible. So if the ship is in good condition and everyone is racing, the speed difference is not big!

Because of the seaplane, if the Germans want to completely get rid of it, they may have to wait for the evening. If they dare to use the radio at night, then the general direction will naturally be exposed. Of course, it is still difficult to catch the opponent at one time based on these alone, so Thomas set the ambush location far from the North Sea blockade line, and arranged a strongest fleet to block the Germans' return road.

As long as it is daytime, with the help of camouflage cruisers, seaplanes and motherships, shore-based reconnaissance aircraft and radio sideways, it is not difficult to find an opponent! The last safety rope is the large fleet. If the high seas fleet goes out to respond, the large fleet will definitely approach Wilhelmshaven. This is also a lion guarding the doorstep for two German battlecruisers who are out. Unfortunately, you will definitely not be able to defeat it! As long as the German fleet cannot return to the port, it will be consumed. If you have been running at a speed of more than 24 knots, how many days can you run? Can your machinery and personnel bear it? The final result is to be consumed by Thomas!

Moreover, Thomas felt that before the machinery approached the limit, the personnel would probably not be able to do it, because the high intensity of the furnace stewards changed every two hours. How many people would you shovel coal on a warship? How long could the people last? By then, the final result had already determined that the two German main battleships would be completely crushed by the British fleet, which had an absolute advantage!
