Jinheer has never been as frustrated as this time. From beginning to end, he was dragged by the other party by his nose. Even the reconnaissance destroyer they sent was sunk. It was really impossible to see why the other party was so bold and so clear that the one chasing behind him was a destroyer, not a main ship.

Fortunately, Jinheer's intuition to lead the fleet over the years made him choose the most correct channel, almost following the Black Dragon and reaching the sea area where something happened. At this time, the destroyer had just sank. The entire sea surface was full of traces of war, the sunken destroyer position, the broken hull was everywhere, and there were many sailors who were diving. Fortunately, they survived after the destroyer sank, and the Black Dragon had no time to attack them.

The sailors who fell into the water had to be rescued, but the opponent's warship still had to chase after him. Even if it was calculated, Jinheer knew that the destroyer sank in a very short time, which means that the opponent's attack power was quite powerful.

Such a dangerous warship must not be kept. This is the consensus of the fleets of Britain and France. During the attack, there were so many ships making trouble, and the consequences were unimaginable. We must beware of them coming out anytime and anywhere.

This is Southeast Asia. The British foundation is in Malacca, France is in the Indochina Peninsula, and only the Netherlands has a foundation in Indonesia. Unfortunately, it was almost destroyed by Borneo. They could not monitor Germany anytime and anywhere, just like the North Sea, which is very unfavorable for the next battle.

Looking at the destroyer, the ship left for no more than half an hour. At the speed of the ironclad ship, even if it has been modified, it has an upper limit for its speed. This is an opportunity for them to catch up with them and destroy them.

One chases and the other escapes. The fast cruiser and destroyer are a little faster than the three ships including the Black Dragon. But the other ships are a little worse, especially some of the old ones, 20 years ago. It takes time to catch up.

Jinheer had no choice but to communicate with the French commander through flag language, and finally decided to separate the fleet. The newest, more than 40 warships that exceeded the Black Dragon, formed a pursuit warship and kept approaching the Black Dragon. Although these warships were light warships with the main gun caliber of less than 210 mm, as long as they fought with the opponent and reduced the speed of the opponent, the dreadnought in front of them could come up to deal with them, just a few iron armored ships. Even if they were modified, how could they be the opponent of the former main battleship?

Among the Black Dragon, Xiao Jianfeng was always staring at the charts. The plan formulated before would not be rigid in implementation. After all, the other side's fleet is alive and must rely on the other side's fleet to react. Fortunately, they are all in a large framework. In this area of ​​more than 3,000 square nautical miles, the northwest has formed a font shape to build 20 ocean-going submarines. They are responsible for regional surveillance, and every move of the British and French coalition forces can almost escape their surveillance. With close contact with radio, the Black Dragon can do it. Every step is beyond the other's expectations. The previous risk of sinking the destroyer used for reconnaissance was one of the results of this tactic.

However, with the approaching of the British and French fleets, their space for maneuvering was greatly compressed. No matter how powerful the Black Dragon was, it had only 3 ships. Even if the protection was comparable to the dreadnought, the attack was far from that of the dreadnought. Facing the challenge of the British and French coalition forces, at least 9 front dreadnoughts and 10 equipped patrols, they would stay there and wait for death if they didn't run away.

Scher's fleet was not far away nearby. It would take 30 minutes to come at full speed, but he also knew that in order to completely eliminate the warships of the British and French forces, he had to make preparations, which might be 10 minutes or 20 minutes, and he had to fight for this time.

Fortunately, the two sides were in close contact. With the convenient telegram contact, Scher also heard good news that the fleet was running well, about 2 minutes earlier than the booked one.

2 minutes is not too long, but it is not too long for anyone, but it is very rare good news for the Black Dragon. Maybe, if you cannot move, you will be saved in 2 minutes. At this time, at the airport in Borneo, 50 strategic bombers are preparing to take off. The straight-line distance from Borneo is about 120 kilometers. For strategic bombers with a speed of 400 kilometers per hour, 15 minutes is enough to fly here. They must ensure the safety of the Black Dragon Pirates.

Didi, the telegraph machine rang again, the correspondent's face was solemn and began to translate the telegram. At this time, every telegram was very important, and the difference between any word would be very problematic.

"Report, the pursuit fleet is divided!"

"Divide the troops?" Xiao Jianfeng was happy. If it was said that when setting the plan, which situation was the best suitable for their plan, it was undoubtedly the division of troops. When the overall speed needed to catch up with the Black Dragon, they would choose to separate the troops, part of the fast ships, chasing and fighting the Black Dragon, and the remaining main warships would come later, and there might only be 15 to 20 minutes apart, but this part of the time would kill them.

The warships, destroyers and light patrols of the British and French coalition forces are nothing. The core main force is armored cruisers and former dreadnoughts. These are all major battleships, all of which are over 10,000 tons. Eliminating these means that the entire British and French maritime forces in Asia have been wiped out. The many considerations made before, including the adventure of putting the Black Dragon in the position to attract the enemy, is also because of this.

But once the troops were divided, Scher's fleet could detour, partly in the rear, blocking the road of the British and French main fleets, and the other part could directly respond to the Black Dragon. After ignoring and attacking at will, dispersing the fast fleet, it would reach a siege mission against more than 20 main ships. As long as these were solved, the strategic intention of this battle could be solved.

Xiao Jianfeng suppressed the excitement in his heart, knew that at this time, he must not be anxious or panic, so he took a breath and ordered: "Continue to ask for the details, divided into several parts, and the composition of each part!"

The telegrapher nervously sent Xiao Jianfeng's order through the telegraph machine. In the shortest time, he waited. In a few minutes, it was so long in Xiao Jianfeng's heart that the telegraph machine finally rang again. This time, Xiao Jianfeng called half of the correspondents in the communication group to translate the telegram. The final result was as he expected, divided into fast and slow speed. All the main ships dragged one step behind, and even the speed was significantly reduced.

The average speed of the fast fleet is around 19.5 knots, and the average speed of the main fleet is below 13 knots, with a gap of 7 knots between each other. Xiao Jianfeng slapped the table with joy and said excitedly: "The overall situation is settled!"

The distance between the fast fleet and the Black Dragon is about 12 nautical miles. At the speed of the fast fleet is 2.5 knots faster than the Black Dragon, it will take 2 hours to catch up. At that time, it will win an hour's voyage gap for the Scher fleet, which is about 13 knots. This distance is enough to make a fortune.

By transmitting this change to Scher, Scher had no doubt whether the Northwest reconnaissance was accurate. The Northwest Ocean Submarine Technology made him very jealous, just like a black hole in the sea. As long as he entered the sea, he could not find any trace. Even Germany had a listener based on Britain. He could barely hear the movements of German submarines, but could not hear the Northwest submarines. This is the gap. With such submarines, as long as there are enough numbers to arrange the entire war zone, what he knew was that the submarines used in the Northwest this time were at least 25, and there was no problem with such a range.

The opponent's division of troops means that their best opportunity has come. Before entering the battlefield yet, Scher's fleet has also quickly adjusted. According to the position given by the northwest, it began a large-scale detour. The excellent speed of the special-mix fleet was undoubtedly shown at this moment. The average speed of more than 25 knots is far faster than that of the British and French Allied Forces. After about an hour of adjustment, it quickly surrounded from all directions. The first ones to enter the rear of the British and French main fleet were 6 battleships, several heavy patrols and more than ten auxiliary warships. They were almost 70% of the special-mix fleet to prevent the British and French Allied Forces from escaping. The remaining 3 main battleships and the remaining ships were heading to the Black Dragon, which is currently only 30 minutes away from the Black Dragon.

Sher needs to adjust the position of the warship, and it needs to be hidden. It takes three or four hours to adjust it. Among them, the possibility of the Black Dragon being surrounded or besieged will appear. Now, things are heading in the most favorable direction. Sher is at least one and a half hours faster than expected and enters the prescribed waters. At this time, it is only about 2 pm, and it is more than 4 hours before it gets dark. Under the premise that visibility has always been so high, it is almost impossible for them to escape.

After listening to the telegram from the correspondent, Xiao Jianfeng was extremely excited. An adventure that could have casualties or even killing himself, he actually embarked on the best track and gained opportunities in the pursuit battle. Now the main fleet of Britain and France is at least 15 nautical miles away. Even if they drive more force and do their best, it will take an hour. Sher's detour will arrive faster, and they no longer have a chance.

He must pay attention to the siege of the main battleships, especially those former dreadnoughts, but those light cruisers and destroyers are not necessary. The ironclad ship itself is comprehensive protection. After being equipped with special special steel armor in the northwest, it can be immune to ordinary artillery fire below 280 mm. In other words, when facing light warships, it will be invincible first.
