    (Silem¡¯s ultimate goal was finally released, and the decisive battle began.)

    "Jellicoe, don't worry. The fast fleet is safe at the mouth of the Tees River. If things go wrong, it can be pushed into the Tyne River. Moreover, Betty's large fleet has already left the port. If nothing happens, the Royal Navy will add four new battleships.  !¡±

    At the Naval Headquarters in London, Chief of the British Naval General Staff Jellicoe was huddled on the couch specially prepared for duty officers in the staff command room, frowning and doing detailed calculations on some drawings.  First Sea Lord Gough Calthorpe was sitting near the couch, pointing to a chart of the North Sea and saying calmly:

    "The ten battlecruisers of the German First Reconnaissance Group alone can't make any waves!"

    "I know, I know! Silem wants to deal with our fast fleet. The German raid fleet is just a bait. The eight elite battlecruisers of the First Reconnaissance Group are the real killer. Silem wants us to mistake the ocean  The battle patrol of the fleet is still staying peacefully in Wilhelmshaven, taking advantage of us to concentrate on dealing with the raiding fleet, and captured the fast fleet in one fell swoop. However, Sealem had many calculations, but he only failed to calculate that we had mastered them.  The secret code for radio communication. Yes, we have almost ten hours of advance time, which is enough for us to arrange everything!"

    Jellicoe said light-hearted words and gave the First Sea Lord a somewhat forced smile, but his eyes were full of unconcealable worry:

    "I know that Navy people are very rational, and I know that the Germans have no chance, but I still think that my opponent is Heidi Sealem, but I just have this feeling that Sealem can't let his first reconnaissance group go blank.  Take a trip, he must have other plans, a conspiracy that we can't see for the time being. Xi Lime is good at making the impossible possible. The reason why we think it is impossible is just because our strategic vision is too narrow.  Silim is always trying to be mysterious. Just when we thought we had all his weight and trump cards and had caught up with his way of thinking, he gave us a heavy blow with a backhand"

    "Chapter" It was difficult for Jellicoe to use specific and accurate words to describe his inner uneasiness and vigilance towards Sealem, so that what he said to the First Sea Lord while dancing was somewhat messy.  However, Calthorpe knew that Jellicoe was not really afraid of Heidi Sealem. It was not so much that Sealem was too scary, but that the Royal Navy was weak and had a habit of exaggerating, but at the critical moment, it always failed.  It was a lack of preparation. Jellicoe was worried that those young boys would lose their composure and act on their own initiative.

    "Believe in young people, they will not fall twice in the same place!"

    General Calthorpe patiently comforted Jellicoe, who shook his head.  He said calmly:

    "We have fallen in the same place more than twice, starting from giving up remote blockade!"

    Jellicoe¡¯s words left Calthorpe speechless.  I remember that at the beginning of the war, Calthorpe was also among the small group of people who tried their best to support the decisive battle. The reason why they opposed any form of decisive battle over the years was just because of their different status and roles.

    Calthorpe was trying to find some transitional words, at this time.  The door to the combat command room of the Naval Staff was pushed open, and Captain Jackson rushed in with a blank face.  roared:

    "Generals. The situation is not good!"

    "Captain, what's wrong?" Jellicoe picked up the drawings and information scattered on the couch and asked.

    "The intelligence team lurking in Wilhelmshaven sent the highest-level information that the German Ocean Fleet disappeared last night!" The panting Captain Jackson did not bother to take off his military cap and wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. He was just lost.  Standing in the battle room of the staff headquarters, he shouted hoarsely: "A total of nineteen battleships have disappeared. The scary thing is that we have no idea when the Ocean Fleet left!"

    "The Ocean Fleet has disappeared? What did they say in 'Room 40'?" Jellicoe also panicked. He jumped up from the couch and asked with a wooden head.

    "All night long, the only answer they gave to the Admiralty was 'Jasper Anchorage'! Fuck 'Jasper Anchorage'!" Captain Jackson was obviously furious.  He was extremely rude and cursed in front of his boss.

    No one will hold Captain Jackson accountable for his failure, and their mood is even worse than that of the Navy captain.

    The hard-planned encirclement and suppression plan and the subsequent decisive battle plan proved to be a boring paper game. The young people on the Naval Staff were played by the Germans from beginning to end. Frustration, discouragement and embarrassment all came to their hearts, calling these inexperienced people  The young man who had experienced too many setbacks completely lost his direction and paranoidly vented his grievances to the Intelligence Department.

    "Not only 'Room 40', the Intelligence Department is also useless!"

    Faced with pressure, the Navy Department first split withinFortunately, for the time being, the prestigious General Jellicoe stepped forward to clean up the mess.

    "Since the nineteen battleships of the Ocean Fleet can disappear under our noses, and the damn 'Jasper Anchorage' has never disappeared, then it may not be true that the first reconnaissance group left the port at 3:40 in the morning, and the Germans may not have lost secrets.  Telegraphic code!"

    For a long time, Jellicoe simply felt that Silam, who had been famous for a long time, would not live up to his myth of the undefeated god of war. When Silem really showed his full strength, no one could understand it.  To Jellico's mood at the moment.

    Although he is dizzy and has mixed emotions, and although he cannot accept this fact, as the chief of naval staff, Jellicoe still has his own responsibilities. He must lead his naval staff to save the situation.

    "We might as well consider the worst-case scenario of Sealem's intention to deliberately leak their secret code, letting us know the overall plan to raid the British coast, so that we can safely send a fast fleet south, and then send all nineteen ships of the Ocean Fleet to fight" the great power  Sea Soul Chapter 10 King of the North Atlantic!  (1)" battleships and eight battlecruisers were sent out to encircle and suppress the fast fleet. As long as the fast fleet could be destroyed, the Germans would be invincible. No matter how many battleships the Americans reinforced, the two sides of the North Sea would still be in a  Balanced situation!"

    General Jellicoe¡¯s hypothesis caused gasps of air-conditioning in the combat command room of the General Staff.  If General Jellicoe is unfortunately telling the truth, Sealem with such scheming and tactical execution is really terrifying:

    Sealem only used an old battle fleet and six old battleships to mobilize ten battlecruisers of the fast fleet from the safety of Forth Bay. With a little tactical deception, the fast fleet lost its way and forced itself to  Got into a dangerous situation.  The voyage from Helgoland Bay to the east coast of Britain is only more than ten hours. The German first reconnaissance group should have passed the Dogger Sand Bar, and the nineteen battleships of this group should also be crossing the sand bar.  If the sea fog over Jade Bay hadn't dissipated earlier than usual, the Admiralty might have had to wait until the fast fleet suffered heavy damage before it could react.

    "I went to inform Mr. Balfour and several other Sea Lords. In five minutes, an emergency meeting was held in the Admiralty's office. Also, General Jellicoe hoped that the Naval Staff would deduce the Germans' route of advance as soon as possible and develop a fast fleet.  The retreat route has been sent south by the large fleet to handle the matter!"

    The situation was so critical that Calthorpe temporarily forgot about utility and ran for the survival of the fast fleet.

    The First Sea Lord left in a hurry, and Jellicoe clapped his hands.  Let those panicked and stunned subordinates wake up, and then assign tasks:

    "Calculate the Germans' march route, starting from 20hrs on 20ri. The first reconnaissance group has a speed of 20 knots, and the Ocean Fleet has a speed of 18 knots. Take a straight course and give me the exact time when the Germans arrive at the Tees River; notify the fast fleet immediately  Go north. Don't go to the Tyne. Newcastle cannot withstand the attack of all the main ships of the Ocean Fleet. Let them go directly north, to the Firth of Forth, to Cromarty Firth, to Scapa Flow, in short, first to the "big powers"  Haihun "move in from the north; also. Let Betty go south immediately to respond!"

    Ten battlecruisers of the British fast fleet, which retained three-thirds of their steam, were crowded outside the not-so-open mouth of the Tees River, anxiously waiting for new news from the coastline alert system or the Naval Intelligence Department.

    Until then, except for their commander Lampard, who was slightly uneasy, the captains of the fast fleet remained optimistic.  Confident that the fast fleet could kill the whimsical German raiding fleet that dared to offend British authority before the German First Reconnaissance Group, which left port at 3:40 in the morning, crossed the North Sea.

    History is always full of drama. Before the arrogance of the captains of the fast fleet has been fully fermented by time, a telegram from the Naval Headquarters in London beat them to their wits.

    All nineteen battleships of the Ocean Fleet in Wilhelmshaven disappeared at night, but the damn Intelligence Department assured them that the Ocean Fleet had been staying peacefully in Wilhelmshaven.

    The captains were really panicked at this moment.  Since the Ocean Fleet main force mysteriously disappeared, the eight powerful battlecruisers of the First Reconnaissance Group may not have set out to sea at 3:40 in the morning. In the end, the so-called intelligence advantage may have been a complete joke. They were making fun of Germany.  The raiding fleet was bold, perhaps it was they who were bold!

    The disguised bravery quickly collapsed. After the initial experience of Queen Zhang, fear firmly occupied their minds.  It would be unscrupulous to say that Heidi Silem and the Ocean Fleet are not afraid. As the best maritime commander on the planet, Silem may have made mistakes, but he has never had a record of failure.

    Being able to have such a long-term strategic vision and timing the launch of the campaign exactly, canHe performs tactics and deception so perfectly, just like a gentleman taking a leisurely stroll. Can a mere mortal defeat this god of war?

    The morale that the fast fleet had finally accumulated dropped instantly, and perhaps those who were inexperienced in the world and had just joined the navy would continue to have brave hearts, but as long as they had experienced the tragic battle of the Skagerrak  All the officers and soldiers knew that once Xilem made up his mind, there would be no surprises.

    The captains calmly raised their watches and took out their pocket watches, counting the pace of the Germans, hoping to do something with the three hundred nautical miles from Helgoland Bay to the British coastline.

    The first reconnaissance group should have crossed the Dogger Sand Bank and approached the British coastline. Although the Ocean Fleet is still on the Dogger Sand Bank, it is only a few hours away from the British coastline.

    "Run, run away, no matter how embarrassed you are, no matter how embarrassing you are, as long as you can escape from this terrible extremity."

    This is the common sentiment of the top brass of the fast fleet.

    "The Admiralty in London has not lost its mind and asked us to hide in the Tyne River. We still have a little time. The Grand Fleet is also heading south to meet us. There is still time!" Lampard sent a message to the Naval Staff.  He signed the newspaper and took a deep breath: "Fast fleet, northward!"

    At 8 a.m. on the 21st, the fast fleet that had stayed in the Tees River for nearly three hours set off again. Instead of heading south as originally planned to aggressively encircle and suppress the "bold" German raid fleet, it headed north in an extremely humiliating manner.  Enter.

    While the fast fleet headed north, in the depths of the North Sea, the nineteen battleships of Sealem's Toy Ocean Fleet and the eight battlecruisers of the First Reconnaissance Group cut a sharp straight line and pounced resolutely towards the northwest corner of the North Sea.

    "Nineteen plus eight seems to be twenty-seven, Betty, look, this is my trump card!" Wang Heidi stood at the bow of the battleship Bavaria, facing the flying waves and mist, roaring with thunder:  "Fight, Ocean Fleet, fight, Germany, after this battle, nothing can stop the Ocean Fleet! We will become the king of the North Atlantic, and we will dominate this bright ocean!" (To be continued!  .).
