Chapter 963 Blockade line that exists in name only 1

As a big boss in Japan, Yama Prefecture is polite to say that he is very good at speaking! Even within the navy, he can get it! As he said, this time, the British did find the Japanese Navy, and they have begun to urge the Japanese Navy to fulfill the previous agreement and send the main ship to the battlefield.

Although the main force of the German High Seas Fleet did not cause trouble for the British during this period, the British were also quite uncomfortable. The British senior management finally adopted Jericho's suggestion. The main force of the large fleet was deployed in Fors Bay to ensure the safety of the English Channel and the British coast. In this case, the German fleet naturally did not dare to meet the large fleet, but the blockade line from the Shetland Islands to the Norwegian coast was completely ruined!

When the prince was fighting in Dogel Sands with his six Bavarian and British fast fleets, Hippel's battlecruiser formation led N-many brothers to directly clean up the 10th light cruiser formation that was carrying out a relatively clean and thorough cleaning. After this battle, the number of auxiliary cruisers that Britain could use for blockade dropped by nearly half!

And this was just the beginning. The heroic Royal Navy officers and soldiers were not scared by Hippel's bloody butcher knife! On the third day after the German battlecruiser team retreated, they continued their career as "Beihai Urban Management". However, what the British did not expect was that there were even German battlecruisers who dared to stay on the North Sea blockade line. In one night, two camouflaged cruisers disappeared mysteriously! One of them sent an vague telegram before sinking!

Two auxiliary cruisers were sunk in one night? The British staff officers were not vegetarians. After estimating the locations of the two auxiliary cruisers sinking based on intelligence, they believed that it was not easy to find out, because the two sunken ships were very far apart, and the time interval was only 1 hour. This time was a bit too short. If the submarine was working, then at least more than 10 submarines in this sea area would be possible to have such a coincidence. This is a matter of probability. Submarines ambushing auxiliary cruisers almost depends on luck.

Of course, there may be suspicion of German auxiliary cruisers, but no matter what, the British Royal Navy cannot sit idly by. After suffering heavy losses, the war should be more and more courageous. Therefore, the Royal Navy once again sent 6 auxiliary cruisers and some anti-submarine ships to strengthen the entire blockade line. At this time, the inventory in the hands of the British 10th Cruiser Detachment was almost used up! If it was lost again, it could only be rebuilt.

However, it was precisely because of this slightly hasty action that the British blockade line was finally broken! In one night, the battlecruiser of the Seedritz, which was dormant in the North Sea, killed 6 auxiliary cruisers and small boats in a row! The Cedritz battlecruiser did not need to find it. The British did not realize what kind of opponent they were going to encounter. They did not implement light control at all. Moreover, for anti-submarine, they took care of each other, and most of them were two ships acting together! On the night in the North Sea, the British auxiliary cruiser that did not implement light control was like selling first in the eyes of the Germans!

Each fire exchange was very short. When the British saw this "large cruise ship" that was more than 200 meters long, they naturally went to check the water meter. There was no camouflage at a distance, and it was too late to see it clearly! Not to mention the powerful 350mm heavy artillery that could penetrate the Queen's armor, the 8 150mm secondary guns and 88mm anti-lightning guns on the side were not something that the auxiliary cruiser could withstand. The battle lasted generally not more than 15 minutes, and the Germans naturally would not be responsible for providing assistance to the auxiliary cruisers who fell into the water. After the British broke the "rules" with camouflage hunting ships, the last little "trust" between the two sides disappeared. For such informal confrontational ships, the German warships only killed or buried!

When such a big thing happened suddenly, the British Royal Navy was shocked. Jericho was also depressed after receiving the report the next day. Is this still over? Although the Cedritz was so happy to kill, it also left a record of the case. The British finally realized that there was still a German fleet wandering near the North Sea blockade line. Moreover, it was 80% large ships, and then Jericho was depressed. What should I do about this? Not to mention the heavy losses of his own rapid fleet, all those who survived were injured and needed to lie in the dock for maintenance ranging from 3 weeks to 3 months. Where are you looking for rapid warships to chase these things now?

"Don't we have two Queen-class fast battleships?" When Jericho asked Fisher to report this question, the latter asked. Then Jericho looked at the other party with a rather strange look. In the new idea, Fisher had worked in the front-line fleet at least. After being a civil servant for more than ten years, has his tactical level dropped below the passing line? "The two injured Queen-class fast battleships will take at least two and a half months to repair, and the other two battleships must maintain pressure on the Suxiong fleet in the Indian Ocean before they have new forces to take over."

After leaving the front line for a long time, Fisher's level has indeed declined, but the most important question is that maintaining the blockade line in the North Sea is too important for the Allies. Whether Germany has foreign aid is definitely a two-concept. Some time ago, Germany with blocked materials could defeat Britain, France and Russia a bit miserable. If the blockade line in the North Sea collapses, even if it is only a period of time, with the influx of a large amount of supplies, Germany's war potential will inevitably explode! This is something Britain absolutely does not want to see! So Fisher wants to solve this German battle cruiser that is wandering near the blockade line as soon as possible!

However, everything needs to be considered objective reality, not just what you want. Now the British really can't draw a warship that can handle a fast battleship.

"Think of a solution, this problem must be solved," Fisher said.

"How do I solve the problem?" Jericho muttered in his heart, but then he sent a battleship team to try to destroy the Seedritz. The North Sea was so big, it was okay to find it. Then the British watched the Seedritz's cannons enter the depths of the Norwegian Sea. There was no way, the speed was more than 5 knots apart! I couldn't catch up at all.

This is not the worst. Two weeks later, when the British battleship encountered the German main battleship near the North Sea blockade again, the two British battleships were surprised to find that their opponent was actually two German battlecruisers!
