Of course, it is impossible to contact the main force of the High Seas Fleet now, and even if it is in contact, it is difficult for them to come and support themselves in a short time when the High Seas Fleet is carrying out a mission in the Baltic Sea. If there is no support from the High Seas Fleet, then they will definitely not be able to return home!

In this chaotic situation, Colonel Lefsov would rather slow down and evacuate into the depths of the Norwegian Sea than to rush back now. Going back now is equivalent to falling into the trap. To a certain extent, time should be on their side. The British were in a difficult position in advance. This time, the British fleet would definitely attack the entire army, and the large fleet might all move. The British were already in their best condition from the beginning.

And Germany. Although there was no telegram, the German Navy would definitely realize that this attack was difficult. If General Hippel contacted the prince, it would be possible to concentrate the main force of the High Seas Fleet to support him. By then, although the British Navy is still stronger, with the help of the High Seas Fleet, the chance of going back will be greater.

The colonel needs to do two things now. The first thing is to hide himself in the waves of the Norwegian Sea, the second thing is to understand how many warships the other party participated in the encirclement and suppression, and their approximate location. The third thing is to find ways to contact the headquarters.

Aware of this, the colonel decisively evacuated deep into the Norwegian Sea. At this time, the two Queen battleships, the Warriors and the Light Cruisers under the Second Squadron, appeared the German fleet evacuating northward. If someone took the God's perspective, it would appear that the Thomas fleet, which was originally deployed in the northeast of the German fleet, the Second Squadron deployed in the west and the Third Squadron deployed there, were gradually joining the opponent!

At the same time, it rushed from the west, northeast and south. At this time, if the German fleet dared to go south, then it would be possible to hit one fleet, and it would be possible to hit two fleets! If you want to run away after hitting this time, it would be difficult! Is there enough manpower to shovel coal, will there be problems with machinery that operates for a long time? Is there enough fuel? Will the fleet directly being chased and intercepted? Will Thomas directly analyzes afterwards that if the Germans go south, the battle may end today, and even if it is delayed until tomorrow, the two injured German warships will definitely not be able to return to the North Sea. After all, there are still 1 queen and 3 battle patrols waiting for you! Thomas is now full of good cards!

"The German fleet evacuated to the north?" Thomas was a little depressed after receiving the report. This time he met a master! It was not easy to be able to restrain his desire to go home and continue to circle with us."

"So what will we do next?" asked an officer.

"Stay steady, General Moore's Fourth Squadron and his affiliated reconnaissance forces will keep a close eye on the entrances and exits of the North Sea. Then our three squadrons will slowly play with them! The German high seas fleet has not yet gathered and will not react in a short time. With the courage of General Von Boer and Tirpitz, even if they know that something happened to these two battle cruisers, they may not dare to come out to respond. It doesn't matter if they come out. Jericho's large fleet will be responsible for the handling. As long as we can catch these two battle cruisers, we can easily patrol each other's shoulder and said.

However, he knew that things had evolved to be complicated now, and he really didn't know how long he would be in the Norwegian Sea this time!

Thomas' fleet did not penetrate deep into the Norwegian Sea through the German fleet. After all, Thomas felt that his power was still less. However, he arranged two light cruisers to track the German fleet. At the same time, he ordered the surrounding camouflage cruisers to continue searching for traces of the German fleet. This tracking continued until the arrival of night. At this time, the German fleet was about 200 miles away from the North Sea exit. Even if he returned with the highest voyage, it was unlikely that he would return to the North Sea before dawn came.

"Blüchelle has about 65% of the fuel left. We have about 72% of the fuel left. Wiesbaden has about half. If we sail with 12 knots of economic voyage, we can drift on the sea for at least half a month," said an officer.

"Half a month, we can't actually hold on for that long. Let's go through two days first, and then see if we can contact the headquarters." Although there is a backup radio channel, Colonel Lefsov is not willing to contact the headquarters easily. If you don't say anything else, you should at least know the scale of the British fleet that was chasing you, right? So, across the vast sea, the two sides spent the first night after contact.

In the following two days, the fleets of both sides did not meet much. The German fleet continued to hide in the depths of the Norwegian Sea, and the British fleet also cruised in the southern part of the Norwegian Sea. When there was no change on the front line, the situation quietly changed, because at this time the prince had already brought his entourage to Wilhelmshaven.

In the port, the prince once again saw all the high seas fleets like the Great Wall of Steel. At this moment, more than 70% of the high seas fleets gathered here. The current situation is like this. The slow battleship Nassau equipped with 1O 12-inch guns and the slow battleship Bossen equipped with 12 12-inch guns are both in the Baltic Sea to defend against possible actions by the Russians. The remaining battleships are really here except for the two battlecruisers playing hide-and-seek with Thomas!

Standing at the highest point of Wilhelmshaven, the prince brought the scenery of the entire port into his sight. There were a total of 5 main battleship teams deployed in the entire port. The closest to him were General Scher's first battleship team and the second battleship team, (together form the first battleship squadron.) Each team was 3 Bavarian-class battleships.

A little farther away from oneself is the newly established Third Battleship Detachment, which is composed of three newly served Bavarian-class battleships. They are Weimar, Brunswick and Deshao. The Fourth Battleship Detachment is three Hurglan-class battleships Hurglan, Thuringian and Oldenburg. (Together form the second battleship squadron)

The only fearless fast battleship, the Rhineland, is temporarily following the Fourth Battleship Detachment. The farthest is General Hippel's battlecruiser detachment, but there are only three, namely the Goben, Seedritz and von der Tinn. A total of 16 fast battleships have been deployed in this port, and the main fleet is more than 24 knots.

In addition to these main battleships, there are also 5 light cruisers, a total of 18 light cruisers of various types and 8 destroyers under them, and nearly 50 various destroyers.
