2219 Encounter 1

"I saw the main force of the British fleet! Their formation distribution is like this. Thomas' queens are in the front, not far behind are Hood's battlecruisers, the latter seems to be closer to Thomas, and then the large fleet commanded by Jericho. The 21 battleships are all there. They are arranged into a rectangular battleship, from north to south, the Revenge class battleship, the Iron Duke class battleship, the Orion class battleship, and two dreadnoughts detachments." A German seaplane flying near the British fleet reported the British battleship to the high seas fleet.

At the same time, several British seaplanes also flew near the high seas fleet. Although they were quickly destroyed, they still sent some telegrams before they were destroyed.

"The Germans' painting is a bit strange? What does it mean?" Jericho frowned slightly as he looked at the last sentence in the telegram, but before the war he obviously had no time to consider what the so-called painting is. He focused on the German fleet's queue.

Similar to the British fleet, it also has a fast fleet forward and forms an independent squadron, followed by a main fleet arranged in a rectangular shape. What surprised Jericho was that before this decisive battle, Ruprecht did not strengthen Hippel at all! There were four battlecruisers alone.

"I really don't know if you are confident or arrogant? But no matter what, we have gained a huge first-hand advantage! You can't imagine that? When you did not strengthen the Hippel fleet, I gave Thomas my last fast fleet and almost all of the aviation power!" Admiral Jericho said with some smugness in his heart.

Although Ruprecht was the enemy, in his heart, General Jericho was still full of respect for the person who created the Bavarian legend and pushed German military power to the top. He might not show it in front of outsiders, but now, he seemed to have grasped a very big loophole in the other party! A sincere smile from the bottom of his heart appeared on Jericho's face.

"General, you seem to be happy?" said an officer.

"Yes, I'm very happy that our enemies are smart for a lifetime, but they are confused at the most critical moment!" Jericho said with a smile: "I think that at this moment, God blinded the other party's eyes and put the crown of victory on our heads."

"Give Thomas an order. He now has the right to decide his actions. When the fleets on both sides approach a certain position, he can take the initiative to attack! First concentrate firepower to kill Hippel's fleet, and then suppress the route and speed of the high seas fleet!" Jericho ordered to send a report to Thomas!

"Order the fleet to prepare to accelerate and send a message to General Hood behind him and let them follow us closely. Don't be too close to those monsters in Germany!" After receiving Jericho's telegram, Thomas decisively ordered.

At this time, Thomas, who had known the German fleet formation, had a rough understanding of the way the German fleet was deployed. It was nothing more than that the Hippel fleet was in front, and then the five battleship teams of the main fleet were deployed one by one. From the position, the three Bavarian-class battleship teams were obviously at the front.

This is not very good news for Thomas, because Hippel is followed by the Bavarian-class battleship. If necessary, the Bavarian-class battleship provides cover, Thomas may be fine, but Major General Hood is in trouble! The weakest warships on both sides encountered the edge of the strongest warship. The existence time of the Hood fleet may only be calculated in minutes, right?

However, this also made Thomas feel a little relieved. After all, if the German high seas fleet on the opposite side set up a formation with loopholes, then Thomas would still think that the other party would have any conspiracy. After all, this plane does not have any aura of wisdom reduction or something! Now, the German fleet's formation of this standard form made Thomas feel relieved, because although the Hippel fleet has not been strengthened, it can obtain support from the Bavarian-class battleships in the main fleet at any time, which is considered to be a consideration.

In fact, Jericho had thought about the formation that the German Navy, which had weaker artillery combat capabilities, might have set up. Therefore, in order to curb the firepower support of the four Bavarian-class battleships next to the Hippel fleet, the first battleship squadron after the launch of the Jericho fleet was the Revenge-class battleship! Use the warships that are best at the front of the British fleet to offset the role of the four Bavarian-class battleships, thus winning the best battle conditions for Thomas!

"Finally make sure that the order of our fleet is Thomas Fleet, Hood Fleet, First Battleship Squadron (4 Revenge Class Battleships), Second Battleship Squadron (5 Jerichoburn Team), Third Battleship Squadron (4 Orion Class Battleships), and Fourth and Fifth Battleship Squadrons!"

"Thomas Fleet and Hood Fleet concentrate their efforts to capture the Hippel Fleet, the first battleship team will deal with a Bavarian squadron, the second battleship team will deal with a Bavarian squadron, the third battleship team and the fourth battleship team will freely allocate the targets. The fifth battleship team will focus on the end of the opponent!" Before the battle, Jericho and his staff members pondered the order of the battle and the sequence of the battle for the last time.

Judging from this plan, the British fleet completely guarantees Thomas' advantages. The response of each squadron in the main fleet is at most a balance of power. In some places, there are even obvious loopholes. For example, the 5 super fearless and 3 super fearless of the Third Battleship Detachment and the Fourth Battleship Detachment have to face 4 Bavarian-class battleships, 3 Helgolan-class battleships, and a modified warship similar to the Helgolan-class battleship. This is an absolute disadvantage! Even if Jericho's team's five super fearless fights 4 Bavaria, it is a huge disadvantage. Perhaps less than ten minutes into the war, the British fleet will experience war sinking. But there is no way. This is a war. When you stab the opponent's throat, the latter will also give you a fatal blow!

In fact, in Jericho's combat plan, including his flagship Iron Duke, on the battle line, except for the Queen-class battleship, Revenge-class battleship, and Furious fast battleship, all other battleships can be lost! The main force of the large fleet actually used itself as bait to attract the opponent's strongest attack force!

"What are the British doing?" At this time, Ruprecht also learned about Jericho's deployment through aviation reconnaissance. Perhaps the two sides have many differences, but one thing is the same, that is, their contempt for each other!
