"If the Indian Ocean problem cannot be solved for a long time, what do you think the Admiralty will choose?" Major General Kur asked back.

"They might change someone else and then send more warships over." Thomas thought for a while and said.

"This is the key to the problem. Betty's battlecruiser formation has a total of 6 battleships. He can't catch Hippel. The large fleet only has one battlecruiser formation. If the fleet is drawn, even if we can kill these two annoying battleships, our reconnaissance power will be unprecedentedly weak."

"So, the general's meaning is very clear. If you can solve Su Xiong, you don't have to let other warships come over again. This is good for the large fleet. So I need to confirm the status of the Germans and your abilities. As long as you can confirm that you are still confident in destroying Su Xiong, then how to write this battle report is actually not important." Major General Kur said.

"I cannot agree with your statement. This is dereliction of duty! This is a crime! The war report should be written according to the situation on the battlefield. Even if I can gain benefits and be exempted from criticism through your war report, I will never be in a relationship with you." Thomas said. "If I say I cannot guarantee the annihilation of Su Xiong's fleet, then what would you choose?"

"Actually, in my opinion, although you have not achieved the goal of completely annihilated the Suxiong fleet, it has improved the environment of the Indian Ocean to some extent. After all, the Suxiong fleet has been severely damaged. Even if they return safely, with the conditions of the Port of Faa, it may not be repaired without 5 months. That's enough."

"Do you know? We are now at a time when the fast fleet is relatively weak. The sixth Queen-class battleship has not been completed, and the battlecruiser after the Tiger has not been completed. As long as we can drag this time, we can either suppress the German fleet in the North Sea or clear the Suxiong fleet in the Indian Ocean. Five months is enough. Your Excellency Jericho's foresight is not something you can see through." Major General Kur's words were full of admiration for the latter.

The German fleet changed, and the British fleet also changed. Although the prince was very good at hiding the speed of German warships, some people with keen sense of smell still felt the problem. Jericho was such a person. Therefore, he and others convinced the Royal Admiralty to increase the number of Queen Elizabeth-class battleships and the number of battlecruisers. The current situation is that the number of Queen Elizabeth-class battleships has started to be built to reach 8, the sixth of which can be completed soon, and reputation and counterattack are also under construction. In fact, the supply speed of the British fast battleships is still very fast.

This is also one of the reasons why Ruprecht decided to take action. Although the blockade line in the north needs to be broken through, the High Seas Fleet does need a victory to boost morale. But the most critical issue is that Ruprecht must keep the number of British fast warships within an "acceptable range"!

Think about it, if Queen Elizabeth-class battleships have 6, then the reputation, counterattack and others are in service, then there will be 18 ships in the British Navy that can be called fast battleships! This pressure is too great! And Queen Elizabeth-class battleships have 2 follow-up ships!

Therefore, the prince cannot wait at all. If he wants to break the deadlock, he must kill a group of British battlecruisers before these warships are in service. The Suxiong fleet created an opportunity, a difficult opportunity, and an opportunity that makes the high seas fleet easier to attack and succeed. Only by winning this time can the scale of the British fast fleet be controlled and a more proactive offensive can be adopted after the subsequent warships in Bavaria are served.

Although Jericho did not realize the prince's plan and actions, he also clearly saw the current shortage of the Royal Navy in the fast fleet! The entire large fleet only had 10 fast warships that could be used. In addition to having to keep a battle patrol fleet, Betty's fleet could not even handle even Hippel, which made Jericho very uneasy.

In Jericho's opinion, although the route of the Indian Ocean is very important, it is always inappropriate to let the most powerful fast fleet hang overseas at this time, especially now, the situation has deviated. The most elite Queen Elizabeth-class battleship in Britain has not defeated the opponent! This has further aggravated Jericho's concerns. He is really worried that Fisher and Churchill of the Admiralty will draw other warships to the Indian Ocean again.

What if according to the general idea of ​​ordinary people, what should I do if I don’t want to die for a match? I guess 80% of them have to choose to continue to be reckless... However, such people are the bad guys! When there are hidden dangers in both lines, there has been a mistake (well, let’s call this battle a mistake). The best choice is naturally to go back and adjust it well, apply a ointment, and get some supplies. Anyway, the opponent will not be able to recover for a while. How good is it to wait until your subsequent soldiers come out? It’s better to find the place again? It’s dark and not to hit the wall or look back? It’s called a fool, a head short string!

It is naturally not a fool to be able to get into the commander of the Great Fleet, so his idea is very simple, that is, since the Su Xiong fleet is no longer threatening, let it go first, and it is best to transfer the Thomas fleet back to make up for the vacuum period of the combat power of the North Sea fast warships. Especially now, the High Seas Fleet is eager to try, and Hippel appears frequently near the British coast.

Under the guidance of this idea, whether the British attacked German warships more times, or did the Germans hit more times, whether the British navy suffered a loss or the German navy had the advantage (this seems to mean?) It doesn't matter. As long as the German fleet does not dare to cause trouble for the time being, that's fine! Jericho is willing to help Thomas finish the rest of the matter.

"Believe me, everything I do is for the British Empire. Even if dozens of transport ships are lost in the Indian Ocean, the impact will still be limited. If something happens to the North Sea, it may be fatal to the Empire."

"What's more, even if we send a fleet here, we don't have any good choices. The lion and tiger are Betty's most elite warships, so it is naturally impossible to come, and they want to make the invincible people come. General Thomas, how many rounds do you think they can walk in the hands of the Germans?" General Cour asked.

The last sentence really convinced Thomas. As General Cour said, the two German warships can't beat the queen now. But as long as there are still some shells, it's okay to deal with lions and tigers. I'm afraid it's even more easy to fight Invincible?
