Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

Jutland belongs to Denmark to the north of the Hans Empire, and its location is northwest of the Danish Peninsula.

Starting from Jutland, to the west is the mainland of the John Empire, and to the south is the mainland of the Hans Empire.

It can be said that geographical location is very important.

Since Admiral Reinhard Scheer received the order from William II to attack, he led the Hans Empire's North Sea Fleet into the North Sea, preparing to seek a decisive battle with the John Empire Navy.

The John Empire seems to know the Hans Empire's plan, and also understands that a batch of supplies from Daxia will soon arrive at the Hans Empire.

Therefore, the General Staff of the John Empire ordered the fleet of the John Empire to circle the Hans Empire in the North Sea and not to take the initiative to fight the Hans Empire.

Their goal was to stop the transport ship from Daxia and transport it back to the John Empire.

At the same time, the General Staff gave Admiral John Jellicoe a strict order, requiring him to intercept Daxia's transport ships, but not to fire on Daxia's transport ships, and to ensure the personal safety of the other party.

General John Jellicoe understood what the General Staff meant, which was that he did not want to use this incident as an excuse to draw Daxia into the war.

Daxia wants to make money from both ends. This is something everyone at the General Staff knows clearly.

But if you want to make money, I won't stop you, but I will grab the goods.

Anyway, this batch of goods was paid for by the Hans Empire, and what we grabbed was also Hans Empire's stuff, right.

I didn't hurt the staff either. We just invited them to visit John's Empire and gave them subsidies after the work was done.

General Staff John felt that even if Daxia knew about this kind of thing, he wouldn't be able to say anything.

Therefore, under such circumstances, the two main fleets of the John Empire and the Hans Empire played hide and seek in the North Sea.

Time passed quickly, and Daxia's transport fleet had passed through the northern strait of the John Empire and entered the North Sea.

All that's left is to enter the North Sea and turn south, heading towards the port of the Hans Empire.

For the sake of safety, Daxia's fleet has been traveling through public waters, abandoning the nearest English Channel.

But along the way, they passed through many colonies of the John Kingdom. Their itinerary was always controlled by the John Kingdom, and the losses could be intercepted.

The reason why they did not choose to intercept the Daxia fleet before it entered the North Sea was because they were afraid that Daxia would say that these supplies were not for the Hans Empire.

But now, after entering the North Sea, it proves that Daxia's transport fleet has only one destination, and that is the Hans Empire.

Only at this time can it be said that it is reasonable for John Empire to intercept.

Therefore, after Daxia's fleet entered the North Sea, within only half a day, a large amount of black smoke appeared to their east and north.

The leader of this transport fleet is also an old acquaintance, Xu Changxing.

He looked at the black smoke, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

He actually took over the transport fleet halfway.

At that time, he was still organizing intelligence personnel in Italy to collect intelligence on the Allies and the Entente.

Suddenly he received an order from Fang Xiao, asking him to rush to Heraklion in Crete immediately, and asking him to take over the transport fleet from Daxia to the Hans Empire.

Because at that time, the Hans Empire sent a fleet to search the North Sea with no results, Lin Yi Lin Yi became aware of the John Empire's plan.

At this time, Lin Yi had two choices. One was to turn east or north after passing the Suez Canal, transport this batch of materials to the Austro-Hungarian Empire or the Ottoman Empire, and then transport them overland to the Hans Empire.

The other option is to continue to follow the original plan, travel by sea, enter the North Sea, and deliberately let the John Empire intercept it.

In this way, the conflict between the Hans Empire and the John Empire can be deepened, or the fleets of the two countries can be lured into a decisive battle in the North Sea.

No matter who wins or loses in this big sea battle, it will only be good for Daxia.

In addition, Daxia can also do some tricks to induce them to fight.

For example, deliberately sail a merchant ship to the war zone, and then take advantage of the fierce fighting between the John Empire and the Hans Empire to blow up a ship on your own side?

In this way, doesn’t the empire have a reason to declare war on John’s empire?

Although having a casus belli these days is like taking off your pants and farting, having an additional reason is conducive to the empire's internal propaganda, which can better stimulate the empire's internal support for the war, and also allows the empire to declare war on the Allies without appearing So abrupt.

Therefore, Lin Yi decisively asked Fang Xiao to advise the empire's intelligence personnel in Europe to take over the fleet.

So Fang Xiao contacted Xu Changxing.

After the imperial transport fleet passed the Suez Canal, it diverted to Crete and picked up Xu Changxing.

At this time, Xu Changxing looked at the black smoke rising from the north and west, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Is it finally here? It really took me a long time to wait." Xu Changxing smiled coldly.

"Send a request for help to the Hans Empire and tell them that we are being targeted by the Allied fleet!"

"At the same time, order all ships to use full power and continue heading south. Ignore the Allied fleet behind you!" Xu Changxing issued orders one after another.

As Xu Changxing's order was issued, Daxia's fleet obviously began to speed up.

You know, the development of Daxia in recent years has not been at all, especially the shipbuilding industry.

Lin Yi knew that the empire's coastal defense had always been the empire's weakness, whether in this time and space or in the previous time and space.

Therefore, Lin Yi exchanged a lot of technology for ships, including engines for ships.

This led to the fact that if these merchant ships of Daxia moved forward at full speed, regardless of the endurance of the engines, their speed would not be much slower than the fast battleships of the John Empire.

Based on the current distance between the two sides, if Daxia ran at full speed, the Allies would not be able to catch up with him within six hours.

Six hours later, it was getting dark, and the fleet of the Hans Empire should arrive.

Looking at the Daxia transport fleet that seemed to be running faster and faster, Admiral John Jellicoe felt that this completely subverted his cognition.

No merchant ship in the world can run at such a speed, because the hull structure of merchant ships is different from that of warships. Merchant ships pursue more cargo, but a stronger hull.

Once the strength of the hull is not up to standard, even if your engine is strong enough, you will not be able to reach that speed.

And now, what did John Jellicoe think he saw? A group of merchant ships that are no slower than their own fast battleships?

When did Bacteria's shipbuilding industry get better than John's Empire?

At this time, John Jellicoe had an idea in his mind. He would catch up with this transport fleet no matter what, and bring them back to John's Empire, so that the Empire's engineers could analyze the structure of Daxia's merchant ships.

Such fast merchant ships should not only be owned by Daxia, the great John Empire also needs such merchant ships!
