The British at this distance were very uncomfortable. If the German fleet retreated farther, Jericho would give up because he couldn't catch up. If he rashly went up, it would take a lot of time. It is estimated that when the two sides met, the weather would be bright, and the so-called advantage of the British fleet hidden in the dark had disappeared. The German fleet would have a certain advantage because it was east and backed by the sun. Moreover, because the decisive battle time went by, the possibility of the Spee fleet rushing to the battlefield increased. This is actually very beneficial to the German fleet.

The British may not be so happy to leave at this time, because if they don’t leave, at least the large fleet is still fighting with the high seas fleet. If they leave, who can guarantee that the next time they meet, they will not face the Spee fleet and the high seas fleet?

This is a degree of grasp! While allowing the Germans to gradually gain an advantage, the British also feel that they can fight! Then they willingly set off on a stance with the High Seas Fleet, and the best result is that when the battle is halfway through, the Spee fleet suddenly appears!

"If you have made up your mind, then all the officers and soldiers of the High Seas Fleet are willing to obey your orders." General Schell said after thinking.

"Okay, now I order the fleet to sail 10 nautical miles eastward, the battleship troops are ready for battle, the aircraft carrier team sails 25 nautical miles eastward, and then unfold. We are here waiting for the British fleet to come here!" Ruprecht ordered. Compared with the battleships, the aircraft carrier is undoubtedly fragile, so the crown prince directly separated the two fleets, and the aircraft carrier hides outside the strike circle of the British fleet and releases the carrier-based aircraft with peace of mind!

"Tell Count Spee about our location and ask him how long it will take to be there. Well, that's it!" Ruprecht gave the second order.

"I once again telegrammed to all Norwegian air stations. I require all K8 long-range bombers to carry at least one torpedo! Each squadron bomber must be equipped with 2 Berlin ciphers and more than 3 remote communication equipment to receive new instructions at any time." Ruprecht issued the third order.

In addition to long-range reconnaissance aircraft such as K8t, there are at least a type of bomber. Although it may be too late for them to rush directly to the battlefield because of the distance that is too far, the decisive battle of the naval battle will not last for 5 hours, but it is also possible to intercept the evacuated British fleet under the guidance of the navy and the long-range patrol aircraft. This time, in order to ensure smooth communication and confidentiality, Ruprecht finally used the German Navy's most advanced crypto machine, the Berlin crypto machine with 5 rotors. This can ensure absolute security of information, because before that, the German Navy used 4-rotor crypto machine!

With the issuance of orders, the Allied Navy, the world's most powerful maritime force, began to operate at its highest level, the German high seas fleet began to move eastward, and the aircraft carrier detachment left the main fleet and took the lead in preparing to occupy the position.

The huge high seas fleet drew a huge U-shaped track on the vast Norwegian sea. Under the cover of the vanguard fleet composed of light cruisers and destroyers, the five battleship teams completed the turn and sailed towards the target sea area at 18 knots. Behind them were the battlecruiser team commanded by Hippel and the escort warships, who would be responsible for breaking the rear.

In the southwest direction of the fleet, the aircraft carrier detachment evacuated to the predetermined position at a height of 23 knots. At this time, several aircraft carrier detachments in the entire fleet were the busiest. The partitions on the side of the hangar and had been opened. The cold sea breeze with the smell of sea blew into the hangar. Hundreds of ground crew members were filling the plane with fuel and started warming up the plane. Once the plane completed the warming up, it would be sent to the elevator position and then lifted to the deck.

After arriving on the deck, a group of ground crew members would place the aircraft in the supply position, load ammunition on the aircraft, and then perform positioning operations. The 23-kilometer aviation and sea breeze made the wind on the entire aircraft carrier deck very strong. At this time, the windshield located in the front section of the aircraft carrier was raised to make the ground crew members behind easier. As time went by, the rear decks of the five aircraft carriers were densely arranged, and the neat formation was gradually spreading to the front deck.

At this time, the German naval officers and soldiers who had no combat missions were also enjoying a rare pre-war meal. The so-called soldiers rely on their stomachs to fight is very reasonable. This time, the German naval logistics department prepared a sumptuous breakfast for tens of thousands of officers and soldiers of the high seas fleet.

Sliced ​​bread in pieces is the staple food but not the protagonist. Sausages of various flavors and Black Forest cakes are the staple foods on the dinner table today. On today's dining table, you can see classic sausages from all regions of Germany, such as Thuringian red sausages, Nuremberg grilled sausages, Cassel's liver mud sausages, and Black sausages mixed with thyme, cloves and beans in the Swabian region.

Considering that one-quarter of the Bavarians in the High Seas Fleet, Bavarian white sausage is also essential. This is made with beef and pork as the main ingredients, and with seasonings such as parsley, cardamom, onion, ginger and garlic. Before eating, you need to remove the casing and eat it with the characteristic Bavarian sweet mustard sauce. It tastes a bit sweet but not spicy.

In addition to sausages, you can also see other traditional German delicacies, such as pork roast pork, which is also a traditional Bavarian delicacy, as well as the common fish and meat stew, pork ravioli (which is more like a meat roll, made of pork, cheese, onions and spinach.) beef rolls. Of course, when eating beef rolls, there are certainly a variety of side dishes such as pickled cucumbers, mashed potatoes and various sauces.

Because they are about to join the war, alcohol is absolutely forbidden, but other drinks and soups are still very rich, such as coffee, hot chocolate drinks, and common beef gnocchi soup on the German table, Bavarian beef ball soup, bread soup and the famous Leipzig hodgepodge. In short, it can meet the various tastes and needs of soldiers from different regions of the German Empire.

After the main courses and soups are over, soldiers can also receive candy, desserts and cigarettes, and the latter is absolutely not allowed to be used in some sensitive areas.

To the west of the preset battlefield, Earl Spee was leading nine main battleships and two destroyers to move closer to the high seas fleet. In order to ensure the suddenness of the attack, Earl Spee decisively restricted communications. At the darkest time before dawn, the entire fleet was ready to strike a fatal blow at the most critical moment, like an assassin hidden in the darkness.
