Six days later, under the leadership of Su Xiong and the planning of Redel, the entire fleet finally bypassed the Cape of Good Hope without any danger. In order to prevent being discovered by British ships in South Africa, the fleet pushed the planned route south by 100 kilometers... After entering the Indian Ocean, the fleet remained low-key and did not even go to German ports in East Africa and other places. Because the war had begun, there might be a chance to encounter British warships there. Although it was okay to deal with the latter, Su Xiong himself still believed that it would not be a good deal for this benefit! He believed that the secret speaker would give him a big gift!

Two days later, when the Suxiong fleet arrived 800 kilometers north of the Seychelles Islands, they finally met the secret speaker. Suxiong was not surprised to see that the other party was a merchant ship, but when a US legion walked down from the merchant ship, Suxiong was shocked. Although there was no proof of identity, Suxiong could not resist knowing this person! When Suxiong took the Moltke to visit the United States, he saw this guy in front of him, the US Navy Major Nimitz!

"General Su Xiong, we meet again. I hope we can renew our relationship this time and have a happy cooperation!" Nimitz was not surprised because he knew that it was because he had dealt with Su Xiong that he was selected by the US Navy to undertake this task.

"Then what should I call you?" Su Xiong said with some amusement.

"I am Nimitz now, a natural person, and it has nothing to do with the US Navy. Of course, what we do later will definitely make your country and the United States quite happy. If your fleet can be more beautiful this time, then the wronged souls of the Philippine Navy will rest in peace." After that, Nimitz drew a cross on his chest devoutly.

"What does it mean?" Su Xiong felt a little confused when he heard it. Although he knew that the German Navy might have to play a big ticket, it was hard to say how big it was. And the Nimitz, who assisted the German Navy in front of him, suddenly said such a sentence, which was really intriguing.

Su Xiong was very clear about the battle of the Philippines. A classic battle example in the history of world naval forces, a model of British-Japanese cooperation killing Americans. The Japanese Navy has become the pioneering work of world-class naval forces. In terms of influence, it is probably in the South China Sea commanded by Hirahachiro Togo. In this battle, the US Navy suffered tens of thousands of casualties! If people and the wronged souls rest in peace, this sacrifice is bound to be indispensable!

"Thank God, your efforts and our waiting have not been in vain. We have found a very suitable hunting target for you and your fleet! A goal that can definitely affect the overall situation! Maybe after this war, you will be called a bloodthirsty maniac." Nimitz made a joke that was not funny.

"In five days, an Australian-New Zealand transport fleet escorted by the British Navy will enter the Red Sea through the Gulf of Aden and then transfer to Europe! A total of 1 armored cruiser and 2 light cruisers escorted the fleet. This fleet has a total of 38 transport ships carrying 32,000 Australian-New Zealand officers and soldiers, thousands of military horses and a large number of military supplies. How about it, are you interested?" Nimitz said with some pride and looked at the other party's reaction.

"32,000 people!" Everyone, including Su Xiong, was shocked! Putting aside 38 transport ships, leaving aside thousands of military horses and military supplies, this number alone would be enough to make Su Xiong and others crazy, 32,000 people, this is not civilians, but soldiers! The British army of two divisions walked past the blade of Su Xiong and others. Perhaps a shell could kill hundreds or even thousands of people! Nimitz was right. If it was really done, Su Xiong would definitely be able to bear the hat of a bloodthirsty maniac!

Compared with these officers and soldiers, what are the so-called materials and merchant ships? (This is something in history, and it is definitely not fabricated by the author. Book friends with conditions can take a look at the relevant chapters of Emden in the Sea of ​​Fearlessness. In history, one Japanese cruiser and two British cruisers escorted these personnel. There is only a fleet of just such a large scale. If you have any opinions, you will ask the British to go.)

However, Nimitz obviously thinks this is not enough! How can the blood of the British wash wash away the shame of the United States of America in the Battle of the Philippines? The key is that there must be Japanese! "This is just the beginning of your feast. There will be a Japanese fleet within a range of less than one day of this transport fleet, but compared to the British, this Japanese fleet may be a little harder to chew." Nimitz threw out the second big dish.

"The Japanese were ready to fulfill the agreement with the British, so they decided to send the main ships and the army into the battlefield. Not far behind the Australian and New Zealand fleet was the first Japanese fleet to Europe! These warships include 2 Satsuma-class battleships, 2 light cruisers and 3 supply ships. In addition, there is a Japanese fleet, which consists of about 17 merchant ships and transports about 20,000 officers and soldiers!"

"If I were you, then after eating the first dish, I would go to the second dish, and according to my opinion, there is no need for the Japanese to capture it!" Nimitz, as the US Navy, did not hide his anger and disgust towards the Japanese at all!

"Since everyone is heading to Europe and the routes are the same, why are the British and Japanese still one day short of leaving?" Raidel frowned and said. Logically, the larger the scale of this kind of escort, the more fleets allocated, the safer it will naturally be. The range between the two sides is one day short of, so there is no need to walk separately.

"Of course there is a reason. Do you know about the Mande Strait?" Nimitz did not answer directly, but mentioned a geographical location.

"I understand, are you talking about the hydrological situation of the Mande Strait?" Redel suddenly realized that the Mande Strait is an important channel connecting the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. The widest place is only 32 kilometers, the narrowest one is only 26 kilometers. And the saddest thing is that Pilin Island in this strait also divides the strait into two sections, which are 3.2 kilometers in width, two parts close to the eastern section of Asia and 28 kilometers in width, close to the western section of Africa.

According to common sense, we should generally go to a wider western section, where the water depth is larger and the width is larger, but unfortunately, the facts are exactly the opposite of people's perception! The western section is indeed larger, with the largest water depth of more than 300 meters, but there are dense shoals and reefs here, and the water flow is turbulent. Not suitable for fleets, let alone large fleets, so the Arabs gave this section of the waterway a name called Babu Earl Mander, meaning the Gate of Tears! The situation here is dangerous!
