At the same time, Earl Spee's flagship Prince Eugen also successfully caught up with another Russian Former Fearless. After hitting the opponent's five shells in a row and directly hitting the secondary gun zone, including the side string gun corridor, two German destroyers went up and easily used two torpedoes to solve the opponent at a distance of 800 meters. At this point, except for the unknown flagship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, the remaining German Black Sea Fleet's main battleships were destroyed! It was already around 3 pm!

"The Reshadier has been safely separated, and the other former fearless ship was also dragged back to Port Erely. The British air strike did not seem to be too strong, so the port equipment was almost no loss. The two damaged warships could be repaired. Four destroyers sank, three of which were destroyed by the Russian Navy, and the other was destroyed by a near-burn loss. If we look at the results, we seem to have won the victory in this naval battle." An officer said to Earl Spee.

"Yes, we killed 1 Russian dreadnought and 4 front dreadnoughts. Plus 1 seaplane mothership and 1 auxiliary cruiser, and at least 8 destroyers. We won both in terms of tonnage and personnel. But there is still one battleship left that still makes me feel very uneasy. So, I hope that today, we can solve the problem once and for all!" Earl Spee did not intend to give in. After confirming the situation of the damaged warship, the Earl decided to continue searching for the last fish that escaped the net with two fast battleships.

"Telegram from Lieutenant General Lukner." At this time, an officer next to him sent a telegram.

"Well?! The reaction speed is fast enough." The telegram was very simple, telling the count that Major General Lukner's flagship Sultan Ottoman I had arrived at the periphery of Sevastopol Fortress, waiting for the Russians to fall into the trap, and hoped that the count could provide him with the movements of the Russian fleet.

"But don't you think the current situation is a bit strange? Our fleet searched the battleship of Queen Maria with the cooperation of seaplanes, but did not find it. Of course, our aircraft are limited, but logically speaking, the Russian warships cannot run too far. The maximum speed of this warship is no more than 15 knots. According to time, the distance between us should be about 50 kilometers, but we did not find their traces!" The captain of Prince Eugen expressed his concerns.

"You mean, we are chasing the wrong direction?" The count's heart tightened. The originally relaxed nerves tensed up again. Yes, even if we kill the former dreadnought, it would not be lost. As long as the direction is correct, how could a Russian ship less than 30 kilometers per hour run away? Not to mention anything else, even if the warship cannot be seen, the smoke emitted can always be seen! So good, the only question now is, where can this warship run?!

The current situation is that the battleship of the Queen Maria battleship has been severely damaged, and the water inflow is probably around 1,500 tons. This warship cannot carry so much water inflow all day. The weather is good today, so he is lucky. If a storm suddenly comes, there will be more water inflow... Don't underestimate the power of wind and waves. It is common to destroy the bow of the ship! It is even easier to tear a cracked hull. Even if the Russian fleet has been in the first night, it is absolutely impossible to block it with a choke. This thing can only be rescued and must be repaired. Even if you don't get on the ship, you must at least get a floating box in the port to deal with it!

Therefore, the Navy specialization is at least 8th level and Count Spee can quickly figure it out. Perhaps, this Russian dauntless ship will not go to the Sevastopol Fortress, but it will definitely go to other places! Even if the port is not in the condition of overhaul, it will have to be bandaged! If this is the case, there will be many goals. In addition to Sevastopol, the largest military port in Russia's Black Sea, the port of Yalta, Novorossiysk and Kerch are all good alternatives! That's great, there are only three battleships on the German side, how can you block it?

"Now, Count Lukner has two warships under his command, one can be blocked near Sevastopol, and the other can go to Yalta. They have seaplanes that can communicate with each other. Even if the cruiser cannot defeat Fearless, you can have early warning."

"Don't worry about the port of Novorossiysk. This place is a civilian port and has no military equipment. It doesn't matter if the Queen Maria is withdrawn. We just need to smash the port."

"The real trouble is Kerch! If the Russian fleet arrives at Kerch and then hides into the Azov Sea, we will have no choice but to take him in a short time!" The Count used the pencil in his hand to point the direction of the Azov Sea on the map. Kerch is at the entrance of the Azov Sea, very narrow, and can be easily blocked with mines. Moreover, the Azov Sea is very shallow. The average water depth is only 8 meters... In other words, most places cannot pass through the main ships. After all, the battleships have drawn 8 meters up, so even if the mines are swept away, the German fleet, which knows nothing about hydrological information, will never dare to run anywhere! This tm is not going to fight, but to die.

Therefore, based on the principle of leaving or not, after telling Count Lukner and making him optimistic about Sevastopol Fortress and Yalta, Count Spee took two fast battleships toward Kerch Port! So, although the starting points of the Russians and the Germans were different, no matter what, both sides ran towards a common destination...

So, we were at peace all night, yes, you read that right, we were at peace. After the Count's fleet arrived at the periphery of Kerch, it did not take action, but chose to wait and see, because they knew that at night, the Kerch Strait was almost impossible to navigate. A battleship with a draft of nearly 10 meters, now after entering the water, the deepest draft of the warship may reach 11 meters. When the warship was damaged and the operation was not very quick, we passed a strait with a depth of only 5 to 15 meters and a length of 41 kilometers at night? Are you trying to die, are you trying to die, or do you want to die?!

Therefore, the Count did not consider the possibility that the Russian warship sneaked into the Azov Sea at night. As for the German fleet entering the Azov Sea before the German fleet? What are you thinking?! This is almost impossible. The speed difference is too big. In order to prevent the Russian warship from running away, the German fleet has been running over 24 knots!
