"The other party has a total of 3 battleship teams in this sea area, and perhaps one in the North Sea. We must restrain at least two to make you go back successfully. Wiesbaden has decided to take on the task of luring the enemy with me. We wish you a smooth journey!" After the final signal from Blüchel, the ship's side moved slightly in the opposite direction, and the tough oil pipeline immediately collapsed into two ends. This action completely shattered the idea of ​​the Moltchist providing fuel to Blüchel. Colonel Hulhouse firmly proved his position with his practical actions!&1t;/p>

In the diary, Colonel Hullhouse wrote about his situation at that time:&1t;/p>

"Our fuel is only enough to consume 4 days normally. As long as we encounter the British fleet again, our fuel may run out in a short time. The warship has an influx of more than 90 tons due to the ship's injury. The ship is inclined by 5 degrees. The maximum flight has also been reduced to about 24 knots. We cannot escape the Queen in good condition. The Wiesbaden is the same as us. Although it is not injured, it has little fuel. We cannot even make a theory.

The chance of escape was not possible and cheating our colleagues. At this moment, as a colonel of the High Seas Fleet and the captain of the main battleship, I think I must bear all his responsibilities, not only including giving up my own chances for my comrades, but also including convincing my stubborn, overly idealistic, and sympathetic boss. Haha, forgive my disrespect, Colonel Von Lefectov, just treat me as my last joke!"&1t;/p>

Subsequently, the Wiesbaden light cruiser also refused to accept refueling. After coordination between the two sides, Colonel Hullhouse believed that the non-combatants on the two light cruisers, Blücher and Wiesbaden, should be transferred to the Moltke. However, most non-combatants believed that leaving their colleagues at the last moment was an act of evading responsibility or even betrayal. They decisively rejected the survival ticket sent by their beloved commander and stood firmly beside their former comrades.&1t;/p>

"Maybe the remaining time we can only count in seconds, but I think it is better to die in a naval battle than to return to the port and live in a daze in self-blame and mediocrity! Let those who have family members go back, we have no concern except our comrades!" said a cook on the Blüchel.&1t;/p>

However, at this time, the telegram from the German Navy headquarters through the secret passage had been sent to Colonel Lefsov. The above content was very simple.&1t;/p>

"In order to ensure that your headquarters can return safely, the High Seas Fleet will send a squadron to arrive at the entrance of the western section of the Skaglak Strait before 1 o'clock the day after tomorrow, and conduct an appropriate action northward. We will wait for you for a day there. I hope you can arrive on time."&1t;/p>

There is also an attachment for this telegram, which is specifically for Lefecoff, which means to inform the captain of the Blücher, Colonel Hulhaus, that he could choose to sank himself when necessary. They were the heroes of the empire, and without any chance of winning, the sank himself warship had no blame. The signature of the telegram was Prince Ruprecht, the Marshal of the Army.&1t;/p>

"This is a very bad telegram, and it is also a very conscientious telegram." Colonel Lefsov commented. In the telegram, the prince had already suggested that he could abandon Blüchel when necessary, because there was no way, and he could not leave. He could not fight. Therefore, giving up when necessary is necessary. On the other hand, the prince is still very tolerant of the personnel on the Blücher. If it really doesn't work, just sink yourself directly. The ship is gone, and the number of people can live is calculated as much as possible. After the prince issued such a telegram, it was equivalent to taking the blame for this matter. Although the decision of the two warships to attack was not issued by the prince, the prince had already taken over the trouble of Lefsov, Hippel and even the German Admiralty with this telegram alone.&1t;/p>

"Okay, tell this guy Hullhouse that they are always more valuable than this warship and can sink themselves when necessary. If he can survive until after the war, I will personally go to Kil Port to greet them, and then take over the entire Kil Naval Club to make them happy!" Lefecoff said with a choking sob.&1t;/p>

After calming down his emotions, Lefsov needs to carefully formulate a future combat plan. The help the high seas fleet can provide is just a support. Send a squadron from the strait between Scandinavia and Denmark into the Black Sea. At most, it can be used to support some places north of the Skaglak Strait. The time is only one day. After all, this squadron will not be very strong and will definitely not be able to defeat the Thomas fleet that is in a group.&1t;/p>

As Colonel Hullhouse said, if the British fleet is not separated, then even if Moltke has the advantage of aviation, it will be difficult to escape even if he has the advantage of aviation. After all, who can guarantee that he will not be hit? Who can guarantee that he will not lose in the fierce battle?&1t;/p>

After some coordination, Colonel Herhouse will eventually lead the USS Blüchel and Wiesbaden to restrain them. They will first turn to the southwest and use the original radio communication to lure the British fleet, then turn to the south, first passing through the North Sea blockade between the Shetland Islands and the Norwegian coast. The USS Moltke battlecruiser, which implements radio silence, will head directly south. After the British fleet is hooked, they will quickly head toward the scheduled junction agreed by the high seas fleet.&1t;/p>

"May we be able to drink and have fun again after the war." When Blüchel was preparing to leave with Wiesbaden, Moltke gave the other party the final blessing.&1t;/p>

"All the road is good, remember to avenge us!" The Blüchel also raised a string of signal flags at the top of the mast!&1t;/p>

After sailing for about 2 hours, Colonel Hullhouse stood up from the chart. At this time, they were at least 50 nautical miles away from the Moltke. "Okay, start the signal now, use the original frequency. We need to let the British know where we are! In fact, the German backup radio communication channel has been used only at one point. In this case, the British did not realize that the German Navy has a reserve frequency band. When the Blüchel issued the telegram, it instantly attracted the attention of the British. A British camouflage cruiser, which was 60 kilometers away from the Blüchel, first received the signal, and conducted a lateral and rough distance measurement, and then informed the British Navy of the possible existence of the German fleet!&1t;/p>
