The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 1294

"Moreover, as the Japanese fleet has been destroyed a lot, their size is shrinking and their formation will be adjusted. Maybe the capital ship will not be far away from the fleet. In this way, they can cover the entire fleet in the first place. We want to replicate tonight’s victory again. I’m afraid it’s a little difficult.” Su Xiong is absolutely capable of being a lieutenant general, and from history, he can definitely think of turning to Turkey as a wit. Humans, although their brains may not be as big as Riddle, but their grasp of the fighting situation is quite powerful. Therefore, he could see that this victory was actually somewhat accidental.

"So, we now have only two options. The first option is to leave the fleet, and then the rest is handled by the submarine. The other option is to fight a tough battle with the Japanese fleet. If you want to make opportunistic tricks, I am afraid it will be difficult." Su Xiong finally concluded.

"So now our question is back to the beginning, do we have to fight the Japanese fleet head-on?" Raidel asked.

"From the perspective of breaking the relationship, there is not much need. Because our goal is to transport the fleet, if there is a deadly battle between the main fleet, then even if we win, we must go back and dormant for a while. Unless we Good luck." Su Xiong smiled as he said.

"But if you look at the overall situation, I think it is a good choice to fight when the situation is still relatively advantageous. We all know that these two battleships are used to replace the two Fuso-class battleships that had previously served in the Mediterranean. Yes. And we also know that Earl Spey’s fleet was severely damaged. If this Japanese fleet reaches the Mediterranean, maybe the British and French offensive against the Dardanelles may begin?” At this point, Su Xiong also Sighed.

In fact, from the current three theaters of the German Navy, Earl Spey’s situation is the worst. Needless to say, the main force of the German High Seas Fleet commanded by the prince is backed by the mainland. Although the size of Su Xiong's fleet is small, the enemy here is not strong.

If you take the game of Go as an example, it is a corner game, and neither side will invest too much energy for a long time. For the German Navy, the Suxiong fleet can maintain its presence in the Indian Ocean, and it does not even need to attack too frequently. It's enough to make the Allies fear. As for the Allies, although it is terrible, the Indian Ocean is not important to the Mediterranean and the North Sea, so there is no need to invest too much energy.

Therefore, Earl Spey was the worst. I really thought that the British Royal Air Force concentrated so many elite squadrons to launch a bombing just because of seeing Earl Spey upset, that was just a prelude to a bigger action! Without fighting Earl Spey, how did Britain and France start the battle of the Dardanelles? The prince could think of it, and Su Xiong could think of it, so in this case, he really wanted to help the earl.

The Japanese are also under great pressure. They cannot support the European battlefield indefinitely. If this time, let alone sinking two Japanese fast battleships, even if they are seriously injured, let the two Japanese battleships return to Japan obediently. It is tantamount to postponing the Battle of Dardanelles for more than 2 months, because the Japanese can no longer send new warships to Europe. In this case, the Japanese navy will find that the number of warships that can be mobilized in their homeland is too small, and it has already arrived. A dangerous level, after all, they have to deal with Americans!

"Unless the Japanese have repaired these two battleships, or the fifth and sixth Fuso-class battleships, if we fight with them and lose both, then in the next 2 to 3 months It’s impossible for the Japanese fleet to send warships of the Dreadnought level. This is tantamount to buying time for Earl Spey.” Su Xiong’s last sentence convinced Raidel. Therefore, Su Xiong decided to continue to engage in trouble with the Japanese fleet tomorrow morning!

"Also, to be honest, although I admit that the Fuso-class battleship is indeed very good, I don't think that in the hands of the Imperial Navy officers and soldiers, under my command, my two Scharnhorst-class battleships will not be able to defeat a mountain city and a 1 pommel horse." Finally, Su Xiong said half-seriously and half-jokingly. As the chief of staff of the fleet, after the chief officer decided to start the fight, Raidel could only abandon other thoughts and help Su Xiong plan this battle!

"Even in the most ideal situation, all we can use is the light conditions after the sun rises, back to the sun and the Japanese fleet battle. We have the advantage of light, and the Japanese have destroyers in their hands."

"Swordfish is a seaplane carrier, not suitable for combat, but it can provide a certain range of reconnaissance. I am not sure if there will be other Allied capital ships within this range." Raidel hesitated and said.

"Why do you have this kind of thought?" Su Xiong felt a chill rushing directly from his tailbone to his forehead when he heard Raidel's words, scaring him into a cold sweat. This reminded him of the pressure and fear he had when facing the siege of Thomas Fleet! To be honest, this was the most dangerous time in his life, and it was really lucky to run out! That time, the pressure brought by the five queens was real!

"Neither the British nor the French have the ability to send more elite fast battleships into the Indian Ocean, and their large fleet has not even entered the Eastern Mediterranean!" Su Xiong said ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The Japanese have the ability and the will. . After all, our existence has also affected the lines of communication between the Japanese and Europe. For this alone, they have the motivation to kill us. As for ability? They are much better than Thomas fleet. "Ryder paused and then said.

"Let’s look at the composition of the Japanese fleet from another angle. One Yamashiro and one Kurama make us very upset. If there are two Fuso-class battleships, we will leave. If there are two Kurama-class battleships, it’s to send , So, this is a decoy that makes us a little bit addicted! Do you mean it? Lieutenant General Su Xiong." After finishing speaking, Raidel looked at Su Xiong calmly. Means, you decide!

"Let the seaplane on the Swordfish provide alert. Then, don't we have a set of radio jamming equipment on the Constellation specifically for the Japanese? Use it! Tomorrow, if we can gain an advantage after the battle, Block all the Japanese communication frequency bands in this area, that's it!" Su Xiong finally decided to use his killer feature-radio interference!
