When Lan Fang's army attacked the Philippines and had already taken the Philippines, the Scher fleet quietly crossed the Gulf of Guinea, and walked very smoothly from Malacca to the west coast of Africa.

Because they avoided the waterway, they all crossed at least 200 nautical miles away from the land. These waterways can no longer be called waterways. No ship will travel in these waterways. On the one hand, it is not economical, and on the other hand, it is easy to trek, that is, Scher. For safety, and the measurement equipment provided by the northwest is quite accurate, otherwise the long journey would have deviated from the waterway.

Even in the 21st century, under the global positioning situation, there will be a small number of treks, not to mention that in the early 20th century, even radio communications cannot be guaranteed.

The closer he got to Europe, the more anxious he became. With the help of the high-power radio provided by the northwest, he was able to contact Germany at a specific time every day. On the one hand, he reported his location, and on the other hand, he understood the domestic situation. He knew the reports of the Baltic Navy Battle. Although he was vague, he could infer from the situation on the battlefield that Germany's current situation was very bad.

The fleet was forced to stop after crossing the Gulf of Guinea. It was not that Schell did not want to go back, because the emergency telegram from China's secret contact band could not be crossed in front. For this reason, Schell chose a stopping point near the depths of the Atlantic Ocean, waiting for more news.

The news was not that Lan Fangguo or Baotou came here. They were a little far away from here and controlled the situation on the west coast of Europe and Africa. It was not that perfect. The news was that the main fleet of Scher was about to be replenished. The supply ships sent by that team of supply ships. They sailed in this area because of the preparation of supply. When they were officially in this area, they found many unusual things, and they were almost discovered and treated as problematic fleets.

After passing the Gulf of Guinea, at least 70 destroyers and several times of fishing boats and merchant ships were patrolling the nets nearby. They were quite distinct, with several military warships contacting them, and the rest were all responsible.

The ship responsible for supply was quite experienced. After meeting three teams of the same specifications, the other party was obviously confused. When they surrounded them, they knew something was wrong. They decisively left the sea area and headed towards southern Africa.

Because the action was quite decisive, the other party was just suspicious, not sure. They did not stop them. After crossing the dense patrol area of ​​more than 200 nautical miles, the supply fleet warned the Scher fleet and quickly moved closer to them. Now it is not far from the Gulf of Guinea.

After receiving the telegram, Scher was stunned for a moment, and then after a moment of thought, he understood that Britain had been forcing Germany to fight them strategically in advance, and then Scher's fleet returned from the Far East from thousands of miles away, which was within their expectations. There was no obstacle along the way, or there were obstacles, and they were avoided. However, after circling the entire African continent, he reached a place one step away from Europe. If Britain did not set up a checkpoint, it would be impossible. Dozens, or even hundreds of ships were spread on the west coast of Africa. This was just a door-opening banquet. Next, in the entire North Sea, there were more similar arrangements.

What to do? While waiting for the supply fleet, Schell was thinking that if he was the commander, if he was the net-style search here, as long as there were enough ships, it would be really difficult for him to get over it.

Schell didn't wait long. It was remote enough. It was a long way from the search area of ​​the Allies. No ships arrived near this place. After almost one night, the ship responsible for supply arrived.

On the surface, these ships are ordinary merchant ships, but in fact, as long as they make a slight change and after opening the cabin and installing a series of equipment, they will become supply ships. They can add fuel to the Schell fleet, clean up plankton, replace and repair the turbine units in a short period of time, and there are some small settings, and even quickly replace the gun barrel at critical moments.

Both sides were anchored on this small island and reef, and then started the supply operation. After Sheer started the operation, he went to meet the Chinese officer who was responsible for supply. This was a young officer, who was only in his 20s. In his more than a year of experience in Southeast Asia, Sheer also had some understanding of the Chinese navy. He was very young, both ships and soldiers, and they were quite young. Similar to Cheng Biguang, there were very few officers over 50 years old, and they were not even sitting in a critical position. Instead, some young officers became the mainstream in the northwest.

I had a brief conversation and at the beginning I just asked how long it took to replenish supplies and how many items were available. After receiving the officer's answer, Scher was a little silent. After not speaking for a long time, he began to ask about the blockade line ahead.

The young officer didn't know much about the blockade line. He just briefly described what he knew when he was traveling through the 200 nautical miles of blockade area and encountered the density of the search fleet. Scher was very satisfied. He also knew that it was impossible to ask the other party to know the entire search plan, and it was not a survey. However, the maritime operation had its objectivity. As long as there were a few key points, it was not difficult to infer it.

In fact, the young officer also speculated that in order not to mislead Schell, the two sides were just a cooperative relationship. Although they had always had good cooperation, they had no subordinate rights. Schell's return was not easy to go next, and he could not have any influence. Everything needed to be decided by the Germans themselves.

Take out a chart and write and draw on it. Finally, there was a rough area. The most dense area searched by the British army should be in the western part of the Gulf of Guinea, and it penetrated deep into the Atlantic Ocean. The core area is about 250 nautical miles wide and 400 nautical miles long. Even outside this area, the search level is relatively small, which does not mean there is no search.

Such a huge area and so few ships have loopholes. If you know the other party’s detailed search map, Scher can lead the fleet to hide the truth. It is no problem to spend these 250 nautical miles of dangerous areas, but this has been too slow and requires observation, and only Chinese supply ships can observe.

The British were not fools. Even if the same ship was slightly modified and appeared on the channel many times, it would still deviate from the channel. There must be problems. Once it was investigated, even they would be trapped. Schell had already had a preliminary idea before the supply fleet arrived. After knowing the size and number of the other party's fleet, he had already made a decision and refused the idea of ​​the supply captain waiting for a while, and decisively demanded to speed up the supply supply.

The Gulf of Guinea has passed and is close to Europe. It takes a while to rush back to Germany. It is not much better than the vast sea boundary in the Far East. As long as the supply is completed, it will be fine even if you fight all the way back.

The navy is always an attacking army, and no navy is used to defend. Even the former protective cruisers and frigates in the aircraft carrier combat group, they are also guarding a target, and the aircraft carrier combat group is the largest attacking army, no doubt about it.

Since you have avoided it, how can you swallow your anger and swallow your inconsistent style? Then face it and rush over. Scher has confidence in the warships under his feet and the soldiers under his command.

Seeing that Scher had made up his mind, the Chinese officers did not stop him, but just asked his subordinates to complete the supply and maintenance of the nine main battleships at the fastest speed. They maintained the 24-hour, almost day and night. Finally, they completed everything before the arrival of the early morning. Looking at the new fleet, Scher bowed to the supply fleet with the Chinese rules he had just learned. Although it was too difficult to speak Chinese, Scher still knew nothing except for hello, thank you for saying a few common words, but some Chinese people could do it simply.

The nine warships, which had been replenished and completely renewed, quickly headed north under the black smoke and quickly disappeared. After Scher's fleet left, the supply fleet also began to leave. They turned to America and replenished the supply of Scher's fleet, which had consumed most of their supplies. Although the northwest spent a lot of effort around the world and established a lot of warehouses to provide supplies to the supply fleet, when Scher forced to attack the blockade line, they did not fall into the trap themselves when they went back. Even if they were a little farther away, it would be better to go to America.

From the Gulf of Guinea, Scher certainly would not attack the most densely patrolled areas. He headed northwest and drove at the highest speed for 6 hours, almost 120 nautical miles away from the entire dense area. Then he went north at full speed. According to his estimate, if he had a fast enough speed, he would encounter at most 1-3 search fleets. According to the information obtained from the supply fleet, the other party's search fleet is generally a group of 15 ships, including 2 warships and 13 civilian cargo ships or fishing boats.

Use the main ship to deal with civilian ships, even if the other party has two main ships, but the difference between the destroyer and the main ship can be said to be from heaven and earth, but Sheer dare not be careless at all. He wants to rush over, but he does not rush into the encirclement without brains, exposing himself, and being able to be exposed later, and it is a little later. This is of great benefit to return. Even if it is 9-to-15, when the other party finds that he must escape, it is not easy to wipe out completely, and everything must be prepared. (To be continued.)
