    When Anthony said goodbye and left, Churchill politely sent him out the door, and then returned to the small living room with a sullen face. His wife Clementina Hozier knew that during this period, Churchill was attacked by the Germans because of the German fleet.  It's very stressful.  So she smiled at him and brought him a glass of milk.  "Winston, have the Germans made you angry again?" Clementina asked with a gentle smile. Generally speaking, she would not care too much about Churchill's work, but if Churchill's mood was very  Obviously, she also knew that she had to find a way to help him relieve his emotions.  "It has nothing to do with the Germans." Churchill said harshly. "The Germans are our enemies. They are just fighting for their country, which is nothing. Although I would like to kill them all immediately, I do not  I don¡¯t hate them. ButI have never seen such a shameless person in a novel!¡± At this point, Churchill¡¯s voice trembled.  "Well, Winston, are you angry about the man who just came?" Clementina asked, "What did he do?" "That damn traitor! The scum of the British!" Clay  It was a good thing that Mendina didn't mention Anthony who had just left. As soon as he mentioned him, the image of that guy immediately appeared in Churchill's mind. He could no longer suppress the anger in his heart and stood up suddenly, "This should be done."  You bastard from hell!" He threw the glass in his hand to the ground.  With a "bang" sound, the glass cup shattered immediately.  The half-drunk milk was also spilled everywhere.  A maid heard the sound and came to the door. Clementina smiled at her and said, "Winston accidentally knocked over the cup. You came just in time to help clean up the floor. Winston, be careful too.  Don't step on the broken glass." The maid quietly stepped away. After a while, she came in gently with tools, cleaned up all the glass shards on the ground, and then wiped the floor clean.  Then he quietly withdrew.  "I'm sorry, Clementina, I was too excited. Didn't I scare you?" Churchill stabilized his emotions and apologized to his wife.  "Winston, would the person who could be your wife be a coward?" Clementina smiled playfully at him, leaned over, took his hand and sat down on the sofa.  "Clementina, you know, I hate those who are not loyal to their country the most." Churchill held Clementina's hand and said, "That Anthony is still a British noble, but everyone  You know, he is actually the spokesperson of that American hypocrite. You know, the warships used by today's elites to deal with us were sold to them by that American hypocrite, and even their atrophied combat methods were also taught by that American hypocrite.  For them. And now that damn traitor is letting that damn traitor sell us so-called things to deal with the Germans on his behalf. And in short, that damn Yankee is allowing the Germans to kill us more efficiently.  So that he can make money from the Germans, and then come to 'help' us kill the Germans efficiently so that he can make money from us! And which traitor would" Clementina just looked at Churchill with a smile and said nothing.  You know, Churchill's emotions have been released Two weeks later, four more destroyers joined the fleet searching for the German raiding fleet in the Atlantic waters.  These destroyers are equipped with the latest radio locator equipment used to track German radio signals.  The German raiding ship pair's ability to successfully attack targets continuously is inseparable from their radio contact.  When a fleet of cargo ships departs from a certain port, German spies lurking at the port will use radios to send out relevant information about the fleet. Then, there will be German submarines in many places along the route.  Many times, submarines will discover the convoy, but they may not be able to occupy the attack position and launch an attack. If they cannot complete the attack, they will also send out the news of the convoy convoy by telegraph, and then the German navy who receives the telegram will command  The Ministry will send telegrams to the surface fleet to coordinate the activities of the surface fleet.  Because of the telegraph transmission distance problem, there will also be some submarines that serve as transfer stations between the German attack fleet and the European continent.  In order to ensure that no messages are missed, the time for the exchange of messages between them will be relatively fixed.  Therefore, by analyzing the pattern of the Germans' telegrams, it is possible to analyze which of these telegrams were sent by the attacking fleet.  and use radio locators to determine their general direction when they transmit.  The Germans used shortwave radio stations to send messages. Shortwave radio stations were sky waves, which were transmitted by reflection from the ionosphere.  Because of reflections, the position given by radio locators is not accurate, but they can at least give an approximate direction.  for betterTo determine the position of the German fleet, the British need to let the Germans send more telegrams. Each time these telegrams are intercepted, it can provide the British fleet with an opportunity to update the position of the German fleet.  So the British organized a fleet consisting of thirty-five merchant ships, two cruisers, and three destroyers. They set out from Boston and sailed toward Britain in a mighty manner.  This fleet was particularly cunning, accelerating, decelerating, and changing course many times along the way.  This requires the German submarines deployed along this route to frequently send out new messages, and the raiding fleet often needs to communicate with the headquarters via telegrams.  In this way, guided by these radio waves, the British naval fleet gradually approached the location of the German fleet.  ¡­ It¡¯s September now, and the sea breeze on the Atlantic Ocean is already quite cold.  This is especially true when you stay at a height of more than two hundred meters.  Although Sergeant Orel put on a cotton coat, he was still shivering from the cold in the basket of the balloon.  He held up his binoculars and looked in all directions.  Suddenly he noticed that there seemed to be something near the horizon over there "German warship discovered!" Sergeant Orel shouted loudly into the microphone, "At ten o'clock, a German warship was discovered!"  Hu  The German rear admiral's fleet began to accelerate. According to the report of Sergeant Orel on the balloon just now, the enemy should only have one battlecruiser and three cruisers.  There were two battlecruisers in his fleet, in addition to five cruisers and six destroyers.  It has an overwhelming advantage over the Germans.  Moreover, the Germans were still sailing at economic speed because they had not yet discovered Hood's fleet, so Rear Admiral Hood was very confident that he would catch up with them and destroy them.  The only thing that made Major General Hood regretful was that there was only one battlecruiser in the German fleet. As far as he knew, the Chinese had two battlecruisers on this route. The British had previously prepared so many battlecruisers.  Isn't it a big bait just to fish out these two damn battle cruisers in one go?  However, only one battlecruiser was discovered at this time.  This really makes Major General Hood feel depressed.  Of course, if the enemy really has two battlecruisers, it seems that they can fight Hood's fleet. However, Hood believes that even if the opponent has two battlecruisers, they are definitely not his own fleet.  opponent.  This is not only due to confidence in the invincible Royal Navy, but also because the composition of its own fleet is more reasonable and will naturally have stronger combat effectiveness.  There are more auxiliary ships in Rear Admiral Hood's fleet, that is, more cruisers and destroyers.  If these ships were to confront the German battlecruisers alone, they probably wouldn't have much of a chance. They would be torn to pieces by the opponent's giant cannon before they could get close enough for their own artillery to be effective.  But under the premise that we also have battlecruisers, the main guns on the German battlecruisers must be used to fire against the British battlecruisers.  Because whether it is a British battlecruiser or a German battlecruiser, in essence, it is just an egg swinging around with a hammer.  No one can withstand the other side's artillery fire. If the Germans dare to shoot the British auxiliary ships with their main guns first, the British battlecruisers can safely move towards the Germans without any need to dodge.  The human capital ship fires, then adjusts according to the impact point, and then does another round.  In this way, the opponent's bombardment accuracy will become very high, and then the German battlecruisers may die faster than the British cruisers.  But if the Germans do not use their main guns to attack the British cruisers, but only use their secondary guns to fight against the cruisers, then the British cruisers can get closer and use their own guns to destroy the superstructure of the German battlecruisers.  Give it a good wash.  Although the six-inch guns of the British cruisers could not penetrate the main armor belt of the German battlecruisers, not all places on the warships could withstand the firing of such naval guns, not to mention that it was a battle line with weak defenses.  A cruiser is a battleship with comprehensive defense. Many things on the deck, such as the rangefinder, many places on the bridge, such as the secondary battery turret, cannot withstand the attack of a six-inch gun.  Damage to these parts will also greatly reduce the combat effectiveness of the battlecruiser.  What's more, there are several destroyers in his fleet.  The so-called destroyers of this era are basically ocean-going fish and mine boats.  The displacement of these warships is only about 1,200 tons, and the main guns are only four inches.  But it can carry a lot of torpedoes. When the German battlecruisers are busy fighting the British battlecruisers and cruisers, these little things have a chance to rush up and use torpedoes to swamp the German warships.  Face.  The lethality of torpedoes is even far greater than the main guns of battleships, so once these little things launch a torpedo attack, the Germans mustImmediately turn to the direction of the fish laser to reduce the horizontal projection length and reduce the risk of being hit by the fish laser.  Because if it is hit by a torpedo, it will be a fatal blow when confronting the opponent's battlecruiser.  But doing so will disrupt the original shelling rhythm.  The bombardment efficiency against the enemy will naturally be extremely low.  Because of this advantage, Major General Hood was full of confidence in his victory.
