After Betty's fleet left, Ruprecht also took his fleet to the British coast. After leaving the port, the fleet first drove westward and then headed north. Before dawn, the prince's fleet reached a very stable situation. He did not encounter disgusting destroyers, nor was he attacked by submarines hidden underwater, and did not receive radio signals from nearby areas. That is to say, so far, the Royal Navy does not seem to have seen itself.&1t;/p>

"I hope the British are more powerful." Looking at the rising sun, the prince said silently in his heart. According to pre-war and deduction, it is unlikely that the British fleet would arrive at the battlefield before noon today, but after that, it may be possible, so it is safe from 6 o'clock to twelve o'clock now. The prince only has these six hours to clean up the Betty fleet, and after this time, he will have to bear the risk of accidentally hitting the large fleet. The prince looked at the sky again. The weather today was good and seemed to be very suitable for a fight.&1t;/p>

"We go north a little further and hope to meet Betty as soon as possible." The prince ordered. At this time, the entire fleet had already been launched. The first light cruiser team was in front, and the second and third light cruiser teams were on both wings. On the outskirts of the light cruiser team were sporadic about the torpedo boats and destroyers, and directly behind the fleet was the remaining large group of destroyers. The entire fleet formed a circular formation to protect the main ship in the middle.&1t;/p>

At the core of the fleet, seven battleships formed two columns to sail. The Saxony battleship took the lead, followed by the remaining three fellow brothers of the same sect. The Bavaria ranked second. The other battle line was Württemberg, followed by Hessen and the Helgolan-class battleship Oldenburg.&1t;/p>

The prince of this formation is quite troublesome. First, according to the principle of shooting the first bird, if the flagship is at the forefront, it will probably be concentrated! This is a lesson from history, such as Dingyuan in the Battle of the Yellow Sea in history, was concentrated. Then there is the lion in the Doger Sand Bank in history, which is also concentrated. There is also the Biru who rushed to the front in the Battle of Guadalam and turned on the searchlight. This is a sign-in sale! If someone doesn't hit you, who will you hit? Then this poor guy was beaten half-dead by a group of cruisers and destroyers... The bloody lesson is thought-provoking!&1t;/p>

Let’s look at the choice of those who are truly experienced. Jericho’s flagship Iron Duke was in the middle after the formation was unfolded. Schell’s flagship Frederick the Great was also in the middle. Of course, an important reason for this is that if the flagship was in front, it would be impossible to take into account the battle lines that were several thousand meters or even more than ten kilometers after the expansion. In order to ensure that the flag signal can be quickly transmitted, the flagship is necessary in the middle.&1t;/p>

The prince didn't want his warship to be concentrated. On the one hand, he was afraid of death, and on the other hand, he was also for the convenience of command. Think about it, his fleet also had 7 main battleships. If it was deployed, there would be a light cruiser formation in front of the fleet, and a light cruiser formation would be followed by a normal battleship line. In other words, there should be two light cruiser formations sandwiched between the main battleships. Of course, it may not be on a straight line, but the rough distribution is like this.&1t;/p>

Someone may ask, the battle lines on light cruisers are not seeking death? What do you say? When both sides are evenly matched, you put your firepower on the light cruiser instead of the opponent's main battleship, which is even more seeking death! Why can chocolate drop two battleships in the Battle of Jutland? Because no one pays attention to him! Why can Bismarck lose Hood so quickly in the Battle of Denmark? Because the British concentrated their firepower on Prince Eugen, why did Kirishima be beaten half to death by Washington? It was also not revealed!&1t;/p>

Therefore, the prince must ensure that when the battle starts, his flagship is in the middle, which is convenient for command and has a higher survival coefficient. When chasing his opponent, he will not let a British warship concentrate all his firepower on himself...&1t;/p>

As for why a single column was turned into a double column, it is not too many 7 warships. It is indeed possible to line up seven warships, but the prince did not want to expose the size of his fleet so early. If he had a double column, it would be easy for the other party to see clearly under the cover of the warships and escort warships next to him. As a person who pursues meticulousness, before the fleet set sail, Scher took the fleet to sail near the sea, and made the best treatment of the spacing between each warship. At the same time, considering the surrounding frigates, he tried to hide the scale and number of fleets as much as possible.&1t;/p>

To be honest, seeing a cluster of black smoke and a mast like a forest in the distance, everyone knows that something big happened. The other side’s fleet has come out, but I’m afraid it’s unclear how many warships come out. As for what models are these warships, what are the names of ships? Is this a question? The former can be judged by visual inspection, while the latter can only be guessed by guessing...&1t;/p>

Now, the prince's arrangement quickly played a role. The first one to appear in the Prince's fleet was the Harric Fleet, which came from the south. Brigadier Tirrit's position to enter the battlefield was very good, just in the back of the German fleet! That is to say, he followed from behind.&1t;/p>

"Oh God! I've found them, I've found the German fleet! Report immediately, they are sailing towards the Dogel Sands, about 16 kilometers!" On the flagship Lin Xian, Brigadier General Tyrit grabbed the telescope in his hand and observed the fleet in the distance while reporting.&1t;/p>

"General Betty asked us to report the number of German fleets." A moment later, an officer whispered in Tyrit's ear.&1t;/p>

"Number of this, are these 4 ships or 5 ships? This is really a problem." Sweat slowly oozed out of Tyrit's palm, and the telescope in his hand was a little unsteady. He saw the German fleet and tried his best to get close to the German fleet. There was no light cruiser behind the Germans, and then he approached 18 kilometers! 15 kilometers! Just as he was moving towards 12 kilometers, the sudden flash of fire in the distance and the tall water column falling beside him made Tyrit wake up immediately, and he seemed to be too close to them!&1t;/p>

Lin Xian light cruiser immediately drew an arc on the sea and left in the distance. But after retreating back to a safe distance, Tyrit still did not understand how many German main battleships there were on the opposite side that were gathered in a group! "The only thing I can be sure of is that the opposite side cannot be the main force of the high seas fleet, they may be the force of a team. From the appearance, the last one seemed to be the Moltke?" Tyrit said to himself.&1t;/p>

Tirit is in chaos. As a reconnaissance fleet, the most important task is not to fight with the opponent's light cruiser and destroyer, and then drive past the opponent's wreckage to show off his achievements. The most important thing is to send accurate information to the main fleet. What is the output if you send a message?&1t;/p>
