"Hiss Commander. Emergency Telegram! General Thomas's fleet was besieged!" After taking the fleet back to Shetland Islands, Jericho, who had not even gotten off the ship, had just had a nap in the fleet commander's room for less than 2 hours, and a hurried knock and a slightly panicked voice came from outside the door.&1t;/p>

"Well, what happened again?" Jericho, who was sleeping a little confused, pressed his temple, intending to wake him up. But when he heard the words of Thomas Fleet, Jericho, who was already a little confused, suddenly woke up. He could feel a ray of cold air rushing directly from his tailbone to his head, and then a buzzing sound. It seemed that in summer, someone poured a large basin of ice water on his head! Jericho jumped out of the bed in fear!&1t;/p>

"What's the situation?!" Jericho walked to the door with a few steps beyond his age, and then snatched the telegram from his subordinates. The telegram was when Thomas just fought with his opponent. The situation was far from as bad as the one behind. However, it was mentioned above that at least 8 German fast battleships met him and had fierce firefighting, Jericho realized the seriousness of the problem.&1t;/p>

"All fleets immediately raise fire and prepare to go out." Although they don't know much about the situation, Jericho knows that with the current strength of the Thomas fleet, 5 Queens and 2 battlecruisers will definitely not be able to defeat the opponent's 8 or 9 main battleships!&1t;/p>

Moreover, in terms of judging the combat habits of the German fleet, the commander on the opposite side would never make a seemingly even battle. Based on the theory that it is a fool to take advantage of it, this time, in order to deal with Thomas' fleet, the opponent is likely to be the main force! The other half of the German fleet is still unknown where it is hidden! Under the current circumstances, Thomas can't bear to take advantage of it. If he waits for other German warships to arrive, wouldn't he be beaten and not even left?!&1t;/p>

"General, it's probably too late for us to rush over now. It will take about half an hour to raise the fleet. If we want to arrive at the battlefield, it will be at least three hours later! By then, we may not even be too late to collect Thomas' body!" Lieutenant General Charles Maden, chief of staff of the Great Fleet, also received the news. He said to Jericho, who rushed to the command tower.&1t;/p>

"Then you can't let us watch the most elite fleet of the Royal Navy be killed by the Germans, right?! That is the only fast force we can rely on. Without them, can we still rely on these invincible guys?" Jericho roared to his subordinates very rarely.&1t;/p>

"It is better to rely on 6-based aircraft or submarines in the water than rely on us. Perhaps there will be some submarines in nearby combat waters. Even if these submarines cannot effectively supply their opponents, they will definitely make the opponent worry." Lieutenant General Maden explained.&1t;/p>

In fact, this is also a solution that cannot be solved. Although both sides have done the work of using seaplanes to carry torpedoes to attack surface ships, and have achieved some results. However, such small-scale scattered attacks are no threat to the main fleet. Indeed, the air defense firepower of warships in this era is not reliable than the anti-ship firepower of aircraft. But which main ship does not have several seaplanes now? Not to mention a world-class fleet like Yingde, it would be too embarrassing to go out without a few seaplanes!&1t;/p>

Although seaplanes cannot beat normal fighters, it is not easy to hit a seaplane with torpedo? For ordinary seaplanes, it is good to fly 1000 meters after being hung on torpedo. And there is almost no need to expect vertical climbing performance.... It is enough to deal with the current small-scale scattered seaplane lightning strikes.&1t;/p>

"As you said, we can't watch the Thomas fleet be destroyed." Lieutenant General Madden said, looking at the hesitant General Jericho.&1t;/p>

"Well, I don't have the right to transfer the shore-based aviation department. I will contact the Admiralty Department. As for the actions of the submarine force, I will arrange for someone to coordinate. I hope Thomas can support us until we arrive. That's it." Jericho said.&1t;/p>

Half an hour later, the large fleet, which had just returned to the port for less than 8 hours, went out to sea again and headed towards the battlefield in the southwest direction. Before this, the British fleet also used a clear message to tell Thomas that the large fleet would soon arrive in the war zone. It seemed as if they were afraid that the Germans would not know. The prince's evaluation of this telegram was very simple, just a bluff! Or there was no silver here!&1t;/p>

Just as Jericho's fleet was out, the British Admiralty also received this bad news. The British who were seeking medical treatment indiscriminately also put their ideas on the aviation troops and submarines. Although they felt that it was of little use, they had always been better than not. This time the British were decisive enough. Without enough torpedoes and torpedoes, the British placed 5oo-pound bombs on various bombers... Although it was incomparable to the 4oo-pound bombs that the Americans used v15oo experiments after the war, it has to be said that even if they threw 5oo-pound warships onto the main battleship, it is a threat. Of course, the premise is that you can hit it!&1t;/p>

"Brother, go! The big guys from Thomas fleet are still waiting for us to rescue!" A British soldier said that two 5oo-pound bombs were fixed on the O-4oo bomber, and said jokingly while patting the pilot's shoulders that was about to board the plane.&1t;/p>

"Although we may not be able to achieve results, we will at least not be beaten down. If the German air defense is as bad as ours," the pilot said half-seriously and jokingly.&1t;/p>

So, the world's first large-scale 6-base air force attack on the sea began in a daze. Although this attack was a rush to put on the shelves, the largest organized attack unit was only half a squadron. But it has to be said that the British's operation opened a new era. Three-digit twin bombers, four-bombers and various seaplanes took off from Forth Bay and surrounding bases, and they flew scattered to the battlefield. Although a considerable number of them could not find the target and threw the bombs into the sea, the British's behavior still somewhat changed the situation on the battlefield!&1t;/p>

At the same time, the group of sharks hidden deep in the sea also began to maneuver towards the battlefield. In order to reach the battlefield faster, many of the submarines chose to sail on the surface. This battle is far from over and will continue!&1t;/p>
