"If you have no problem, then we are like this. The first, third and General Moore's fourth teams are each equipped with a seaplane mothership. The light cruiser team is deployed in the predetermined sea area. We use a brand new confidential frequency to contact us. In addition, please note that we have more time and can drive the German fleet to the far sea in the north. They will definitely not last longer than us. We must have confidence. If there is no problem, then let's set off!" Lieutenant General Thomas said, and with his order, the first Norwegian naval battle began!

Two days later, the Norwegian Sea. Two huge figures and a smaller figure appeared from the morning sea fog. The two battlecruisers under Hippel's command lined up with sharp bows like long swords. The surging waves of the North Sea were quickly advanced towards the north. The heads were naturally the most elite German battlecruiser, the Moltke, and behind them were the German initial battlecruiser, Blücher. They were followed by a light cruiser.

"Send a signal to Colonel Hullhouse and ask how their ship is going." Colonel Von Lefsov, who was the captain of the Moltke, ordered. Because just yesterday, in order to capture the fleet that transported supplies to Russia, the two German battlecruisers maintained a high speed of more than 23 knots. Today, the new Moltke is better, but Blüchel is already a little tired, and a steam pipeline has also had problems due to excessive pressure, so the fleet has reduced its speed to 20 knots in recent hours.

"Captain Hullhouse's reply that the battleship failure has been eliminated, and he can continue to maintain a speed of more than 23 knots." A moment later, an officer said.

"Okay, send a report to General Hippel, everything will follow the plan, starting now, we will return in 5 days. If nothing unexpected happens, we will contact you once a day." Colonel Von Lefcoff ordered. The reason for this was actually to allow the Navy headquarters to grasp the movements of the fleet at all times. In the North Sea, the German fleet would not send a report easily, but in the Norwegian Sea, it should be fine in this wider water. However, this time it was different.

"It's the devil's whisper! The Germans arrived!" About 50 nautical miles from the German fleet, the Queen Elizabeth, Malaya, and the four light cruisers under Thomas directed by him. Ten destroyers and one seaplane carrier were cruising at low speeds, and to the east of them, a fleet of transport ships were quickly heading towards Norwegian territorial waters.

Because the British never knew the principle of the new password used by the German navy, they naturally could not decipher such non-simple replacement passwords. Therefore, they called this password a devil's whisper, meaning that only the Devil of the Abyss can understand, which is something that humans cannot decipher.

"Good, let the bait fleet send a report again, and colleagues rule the third team, prepare the two new queens of reputation and counterattack. Once we are lost, they will have to make up. A seaplane will be sent to follow the train in an hour. The fleet turns to the three south prayer points, and that's it."

Lieutenant General Thomas ordered. After a moment, the Thomas fleet, which received the order, began to rush towards the German fleet at a speed of more than 20 knots. At this time, due to the morning sea fog, the visibility of both sides dropped significantly. If you want to discover large warships in the distance, the distance between the two sides would probably be within 15 kilometers. It was precisely because of this reason that Thomas asked for the dispatch of a seaplane after a while.

Although there was a radio sideways in this era, it was normal to deviate several degrees. Thomas could only know the approximate position of the other party. With low visibility, he could only order the destroyers and light cruisers to spread apart, pulling a wide cordon in front of the two main battleships, searching for the opponent's traces like an octopus tentacle. This time Thomas was lucky. After sailing for about an hour, a light cruiser located in the southeast discovered the target.

The Banquet God light cruiser was sailing carefully. As the last batch of light cruisers before the start of the war in Britain, the British, who had no fuel crisis at that time, equipped the cruiser with a full-fuel boiler, so it could hide itself better. When the sea breeze gently blew away the morning mist nearby, Major Wintour was surprised to find that less than 12 kilometers away from his left string, two huge figures spitting thick smoke were sailing north quickly!

"Send a report to Lieutenant General Thomas immediately and say that we have caught the opponent!" Major Wintour immediately ordered. The British fleet, which used the new frequency band, successfully avoided the German radio detection this time. They discovered the opponent half an hour before the Germans. Major Wintour did a good job. After discovering the opponent, he did not shoot and kept up quietly. But what was unexpected was that a British destroyer also discovered the German fleet, but unfortunately, the destroyer was not equipped with new radio first-mover equipment, so a telegram exposed the British fleet nearby!

"There seems to be British warships around us!" an officer said to Colonel Von Lefsov. "The distance is very close, about 9 o'clock in the direction of us, and it is estimated that it will not exceed ten kilometers!"

"Where is the case with the grass?" Colonel Lefsov's brain began to turn rapidly. He could find himself at such a close distance, but he did not find them, which means that it should not be a large warship. However, in this case, did the British warn the surrounding merchant ships or stare at them?

"We have discovered prey. If the weather is good today, they should be within range of our main gun." Thomas rubbed his hands excitedly after receiving the telegram. "Immediately give orders to the fleet, encircle the German fleet, queen, and prepare for battle!"

When the morning fog gradually dissipated by the sea breeze, the German fleet finally discovered the British warships around. This sight directly scared Colonel Lefsov because he saw at least 3 British warships in his sight! If these little things were not mentally ill, it would mean that the British main fleet was next to him!

On the sea level, there was really a shallow smoke column approaching me quickly. It was obvious that the distance between the two sides was at most about 22 kilometers!
Chapter completed!
