"It's really spectacular. This is the foundation and power of a century-old empire." The s-85 reconnaissance airship is hidden in the black night sky. Even if it is not relying on moonlight, at a height of 3ooo meters, the German naval officers and soldiers on the airship can still clearly see the British fleet returning to the ship. Because the British fleet sailing in the night does not implement light control, a huge fleet of 3o battleships, 2o various cruisers and more than 4 destroyers are retreating to the local area.&1t;/p>

"Captain, the British fleet has begun to disperse!" A moment later, a crew member pointed to the two fleets scattered on the sea in the distance and said loudly. Three hours after the battle, the British Express Fleet and the main fleet finally separated. The huge fleet, which was originally like a magnificent sea city, was divided into two groups, one and one small, and sailed towards the Shetland Islands and Forth Bay.&1t;/p>

"Three hours later, in the C5 area, the British fleet began to disperse, and the average British fleet's previous average voyage was around 15 knots. The British fleet did not implement radio silence, nor did it implement light control." Captain s-85 wrote in his battle record.&1t;/p>

The reason why German airships can easily determine their position in the North Sea at night is to rely on a radio positioning system called Salzburg. With the strong support of the prince, Germany's radio technology is actually not worse than that of the British. It can be said that both sides have their own strengths. The British have advantages in single-pieces, while the Germans are strong in system integration, relying on 36 radio direction finding and ranging stations distributed along the coast of Germany and Belgium. Not only can they provide night navigation for their submarines and airships, but they can also roughly determine the position of the British fleet with the cooperation of airships.&1t;/p>

"The British fleet walked very slowly. After 4 hours of sailing, they lowered the flight to about 14 knots. And they often carried out irregular z-shaped maneuvers, probably to avoid ambushing from our submarines. But overall, they chose the nearest route to sail." A moment later, the s-9o airship took over the s-85 airship and continued to track the British express fleet.&1t;/p>

However, just about 150 kilometers away from the port, the British fleet suddenly gave up its previous caution and chose to return in a straight line. After a moment, the s-9o airship appeared a fleet of aircraft flying from the British mainland. When approaching the fleet, the fleet of more than 20 aircraft turned on the searchlights on the fuselage almost at the same time, and oval beams of light swept back and forth on the sea.&1t;/p>

"At around 11:30 pm, 13 o'clock kilometers away from Fors Bay, the British 6-Based Air Force sent aircraft to respond. The number was very large, about 2 dozen. From the aircraft profile, there were V15oo 4 large aircraft and V4oo twin aircraft, but the largest number was Felixtto F2a 4 large seaplanes, and their main mission should be anti-submarine." The captain of the s-9o airship also recorded the measures and steps of the British when they retreated in the battle report.&1t;/p>

"Okay, let's fly higher. I don't want to have a head-on conflict with these guys who are full of machine guns, comparable to an extra-large flying hedgehog." After the British fleet sailed less than 70 kilometers from Forth Bay, more and more aircraft appeared in the air. At this time, the s-9o airship chose to increase the altitude to 45 oo meters.&1t;/p>

However, just as the airships in the air were staring at the British fleet and planes, the submarines in semi-submarines on the sea were also carrying out missions that did not have any attacks but were still very important.&1t;/p>

Several German naval personnel opened the sealed hatch and then moved carefully on the slippery submarine surface. Several people struggled to open a huge arc antenna along the steel lifting rod. Inside the submarine, several naval technical officers were busy on an instrument. Although they were around the route of the British fleet, they did not take any attacks,&1t;/p>

After all, the load capacity of the airship is limited, and the radio equipment on it cannot cover all the frequency bands used by the British, so it must be relied on other means to supplement it. At this time, submarines that can avoid most of the British Navy's reconnaissance methods can also be used. (What? Why didn't the British planes see this submarine? Please, there is no radar in the first battle, and just relying on searchlights can drive away the submarines of 3 ooo meters around the fleet. I also want to see a German submarine that is dozens of kilometers away? What are you thinking?)&1t;/p>

"Finally found them!" An officer with a bearded face rubbed his hands excitedly. "Let the brothers above turn the wires to 1 o'clock!" The officer walked to the submarine passage and said to his colleagues outside the command tower.&1t;/p>

Then, several soldiers worked hard to rotate the antenna with a diameter of 3 meters. After the rotation was completed, they did not forget to fix it with a bracket.&1t;/p>

"30 kilometers outside Forth Bay, the signal analysis should be the British submarine. In addition to this point, there are three other points. After connecting these points together, it forms an arc curve centered on Forth Bay. This should be the submarine cordon deployed by the British outside Forth Bay." The bearded officer marked the location of the British submarine that had just determined the approximate location on the chart. This positioning is very inaccurate. Generally speaking, the error can be calculated in kilometers. If you want to anti-submarine, you can only know the approximate location of the other party.&1t;/p>

"Come on, take a look at these pictures." The captain took out several other charts, and then used pencils of different colors to mark the British submarine positions determined by the previous reconnaissance on one chart one by one.&1t;/p>

"Although there are some changes, they are generally offshore alerts. Their cordons are generally in an annular area with a radius of 15 to 40 kilometers centered on the base. The number of submarines deployed by the British in Forth Bay is not large, and the gap is relatively large." The captain wrote in the report after comparing the data collected many times.&1t;/p>

When the British Express returned to Fors Bay, the eyes distributed in the air and under the sea were also withdrawn. In the following days, a large amount of intelligence was sent back to the German Navy's base camp in Wilhelmshaven through various channels.&1t;/p>

"Okay, in the next three weeks, we need to adjust the entire fleet to its best condition. If possible, I hope every ship can carry out a certain degree of maintenance. When the Moltke and Saxon return to the team, it is the time for us to attack again. Believe me, the next time is definitely not a small fight. Those battle cruisers can no longer satisfy our appetite!" At the end of the battle summary meeting on the next day, the prince said excitedly.&1t;/p>
