Two heavy cruisers were lost, which made Rear Admiral Roderick, commander of the Third Squadron of the Royal Navy’s Encirclement and Suppression Fleet, grit his teeth with hatred, but he did not give up the pursuit, but kept sending telegrams. , hoping to get the First Squadron and the Second Squadron to come and jointly encircle and suppress the battlecruiser Barbarossa.

However, due to the difference in speed between the two sides, the battlecruiser Barbarossa had already pushed them further and further away.

At half past seven in the evening, a seaplane was ready on the battlecruiser Barbarossa.

Colonel Fulks personally addressed the pilots and telegraph operators

"According to the plan, you fly directly to the Azores. Stay away from the battleship before sending the telegram. In this case, the Royal Navy would not be able to determine our position. After sending the telegram, you do not need to return. Just land in the Azores. The navy will rescue you and return you to the country through diplomatic channels! said Colonel Fulks.

"Yes, sir!"Both the pilot and the telegraph operator said.

On the vast sea, it is almost impossible for a seaplane to find the battlecruiser Barbarossa in radio silence. Especially in the dark environment at night.

Then, the seaplane ejected from the rails and flew into the sky

"Hopefully the Schlieffen and Wallenstein are not far away. Otherwise, this plan will not be implemented."Colonel Fulkes said. If the other two battlecruisers cannot be assembled, it is almost impossible to defeat three against one and win with the strength of the Barbarossa battlecruiser alone. Even if it is almost impossible. It is a victory, and it is probably a tragic victory. By then, it will definitely be encircled and suppressed by other battleships of the Royal Navy.

Colonel Fulkes does not want to trade the battlecruiser Barbarossa for the three Valiant-class battleships of the Royal Navy. The cruiser.

The seaplane flew for a full two hours before sending a telegram. The position and route of the Barbarossa, as well as Colonel Fulkes's plan, were reported to the Schlieffen and Wallenstein. After receiving the telegram, the Schlieffen and Wallenstein calculated their positions and found that they would be able to rendezvous with the battlecruiser Barbarossa early tomorrow morning. So the captains of the two battleships issued steering orders to attack the Barbarossa. They also wanted to do something big.

If they could join forces with the battlecruiser Barbarossa to kill the three Brave-class battlecruisers of the Royal Navy, this would definitely be a heavy blow to the Royal Navy..You know, after the Royal Navy Mediterranean Fleet lost four battleships, the number of Royal Navy's battlecruisers has dropped to 19. If they can kill three of their battlecruisers again, then the number of Royal Navy's battlecruisers will will once again be reduced to 16 ships. By then, the main fleet of the Third Reich Navy will be no less than the Royal Navy in number, reaching a ratio of 16 to 15, with the Royal Navy only leading by one ship. Moreover

, the Third Reich Navy's The battleships are all cutting-edge battleships, and they are more powerful in performance. Especially the H-class battleships can beat any battleship of the Royal Navy. Even the P-class battleships have a relatively small main gun caliber, but the caliber is 50 times The 305mm main gun can also provide more armor to the Royal Navy's battleships. After all, the Royal Navy's battleships are notoriously thin-skinned and big-bodied.

Of course, if we want to fight against the Eagle Navy in the future, the 305mm main gun will probably be enough. Check it out. After all, the battleships of the Eagle Navy are notoriously tough, with rough skin and very thick armor.

By then, these P-class battleships will be modified. The Third Reich has long left room for improvement. , the 305mm main turret can be replaced with a 380mm gun. This will have a certain impact on the battleship's speed and seaworthiness. However, it is within an acceptable range. The

Third Reich Navy's break-up fleet wants to eat the Royal Navy The three Brave-class battlecruisers. The Royal Navy also wants to eat the Barbarossa battlecruiser.

Therefore, the First Squadron and the Second Squadron are also moving closer to the Third Squadron. However, they The distance is relatively longer and takes time.

The aircraft carriers Ark Royal and Fury, which have been behind, are also accelerating. At two o'clock in the morning on July 9, the battlecruiser Schlieffen took the lead with the battlecruiser Barbarossa. Converged. The two battlecruisers formed a fleet.

An hour later, the battlecruiser Wallenstein also rushed over.

The three battlecruisers began joint operations for the first time.

Then, the fleet began to turn and headed towards Heading in the direction of the Third Squadron of the Royal Navy's Encirclement and Suppression Fleet.

They first need to find the Third Squadron before they can launch an attack.

To this end, all six destroyers in the fleet were dispatched.

Just after 4 in the morning, the destroyer X21 discovered the Royal Navy's Third Squadron and sent a telegram.

The Third Reich's break-up fleet immediately rushed in this direction.

Although the Third Squadron of the Royal Navy's Encirclement and Suppression Fleet detected the radio signal, it did not attract their attention. They thought it was a radio transmission from a passing merchant ship.

It was not until an hour later that three battlecruisers from the Third Reich's break-up fleet appeared in front of them, which shocked them.

It was just after 5 o'clock in the morning and it was still dark. However, a trace of fish belly white has already appeared on the horizon.

The daylight hours in summer are naturally much longer.

"Get ready for battle. This time you must eat the three Valiant-class battlecruisers of the Royal Navy in the shortest possible time! said Colonel Fulks.

"Yes, sir!"The sailors replied one after another.

The three O-class battlecruisers that had formed a battle formation were approaching the Third Squadron of the Royal Navy's Encirclement and Suppression Fleet at high speed. The ferocious main turrets had begun to rotate and were aimed at the target.

"Woo!"

A shrill siren sounded over the fleet, and the Third Squadron of the Royal Navy's Encirclement and Suppression Fleet also realized the danger.

When the siren sounded, Rear Admiral Roderick, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly stood up.

"What happened?"Major General Roderick put on his clothes and rushed out.

"General, the Third Reich's fleet is here, three huge battlecruisers!"An officer reported with a sad face.

"What?"When Major General Roderick heard the news, his eyesight went dark and he almost fainted._To read the underlined version of the novel, please download Feilu Novel A
