331 fortunate

To be honest, Lütjens was very nervous. His fleet might be bitten by the opponent's local fleet at this time.

However, as time went by, he never saw the British naval battleship fleet rushing over on his radar.

The disappearing German fleet suddenly doubled the pressure of the British navy commanders. British naval generals, including Dudley Pound, were really disorganized this time.

If any situation occurs, even if Germany forcibly breaks through the British Navy's blockade, the British top leaders will not be so shocked.

Because as long as you can follow the German fleet and enter the Atlantic together to create pressure on the other party, the other party will not be able to calmly find trouble for the transport fleet.

But now that the German ships have disappeared, it is impossible for the British fleet to maintain a distance from the German fleet and prevent the other party from raging on the route.

"How could it disappear? Could it be that the Germans really returned?" Churchill sat in his position, looked at Dudley Pound in front of him, and asked with confusion.

In his opinion, no matter how the German Navy goes, there should be no chance of getting rid of the British fleet.

Dudley Pound is the commander-in-chief of the navy. Although he knows about the specific operations of the navy, the bomb still needs more professional people to implement it.

He looked at the general on the side, and the general quickly spoke, "The other party's ship suddenly slowed down or accelerated, which would change the position we calculated..."

Seeing the two bosses in front of him with bad eyes, he added: "And, changing the route will achieve the same goal."

In his opinion, the German fleet had too many ways to get rid of the British's guard. After all, the other party had been out of surveillance for several hours.

The German Navy's fleet has too many ways to adjust its position to avoid the search of the British Navy...

If the British Navy commander himself, as long as he stops in the original place and waits, the British Navy may be disorganized.

But who dares to guess that the German Navy has stopped ships and waited to be in place? Although this possibility is, it is really incredible.

Besides, everyone knows that the German fleet is going to break through the British maritime defense line and fight to the Atlantic Ocean. After stopping halfway, it is obvious that this task cannot be completed.

"Mr. Prime Minister... All we can do now is to broaden the search range of reconnaissance aircraft and find a way to find the German fleet." The naval aviation general next to Dudley Pound spoke and suggested to Churchill.

If the German fleet cannot be found, of course, we need to expand the search radius. This can be said to be the most reasonable countermeasure, or it can be said that we have nothing to say at all.

Churchill frowned after hearing this suggestion, then nodded and said, "Just do it like this... there is no good way."

"Is there any news about the cruiser Dorset?" Seeing Churchill agreeing to expand the search area, Dudley Pound asked the officer beside him.

The officer around him had just received the news, otherwise Dudley Pound would not have asked him. The officer looked at the telegram in his hand and replied, "No! They are rushing to the place where the Norfolk sinks."

"It's really a depressing day." Dudley Pound could not stop the cruiser from saving the soldiers who fell into the water, and sighed helplessly.

The German Navy was killed and buried. After sinking two British Royal Navy cruisers, they left, allowing the sailors who survived the two ships to float in the cold ocean.

The officers and soldiers on these two cruisers have different fates. Most of the officers and soldiers on the Norfolk cruiser who abandoned the ship very early are now using inflatable rafts and lifeboats.

At the same time, a little further south, most of the officers and soldiers on the Suffolk cruiser who were directly sunk by torpedoes were soaked in the water.

At this moment, it was already November, the sea water in the Atlantic Ocean was biting cold, and the soldiers on the Suffolk had no survivors at this time...

They were not drowned, but were quickly lost and frozen to the cold sea. Compared to the friendly forces who also sank the ship in the distance, they were so unlucky.

In the German William Military Port, Raidel, who rushed to the Navy Command, has not had a good life now. He thought the German naval fleet was carrying out strict radio silence, and he could not intuitively get the specific situation of the front-line fleet.

Because he didn't know it, he seemed very nervous. The huge pressure pressed on his shoulders, making him look a little dull.

"Marson! No news is good news. If we have any warships damaged, we will definitely report the news by radio." Standing beside him was another admiral.

Since the German Navy emerged a traitor, Canaris, and was discovered by the head of state, the naval intelligence department has been under Adrian's jurisdiction.

The department has just confirmed a news that the UK has not reported any news of sinking German ships.

"I hope so... This fleet is so important to us, it is all about us! So I can't tolerate any mistakes, and there are still mistakes!" Redel said to the officer beside him with his hands behind his back.

"Since there has been no large-scale war, it means that Lütjens has almost avoided the blockade of the British fleet..." After thinking about it in his mind, Raider felt that he trusted his subordinate Lütjens more and more.

Now it seems that Lütjens is really a maritime guerrilla expert. It is really a wise choice to ask him to command this operation.

...

The location switched back to the Naval Operations Command in London, England, Dudley Pound realized that the Germans seemed to have really changed their speed before the British Navy fleet's eyelids were low.

"If the German Navy slows down its speed, then their current location should probably be further away, right?" he asked the officer who understood the data in this regard.

The officer thought for a moment and drew a beautiful circle over the map with his pen: "It will probably be near here."

"Let the carrier-based aircraft conduct a detailed inspection of this part. I will discharge some areas as soon as possible and guess the speed of the German fleet!" Dudley Pound issued an order to investigate another place.

In addition, he realized that the Germans might also accelerate and increase their speed of rushing through the Denmark Strait. So he also had to scout the area near the Charles fleet to ensure that the enemy would not slip away from his eyes.

Charles also felt that the most likely situation he encountered was that the German fleet had already slipped away from the German and British fleet's noses.

After all, the Germans' purpose was to enter the Atlantic Ocean, and now it may be the best time. Reducing the carrier-based aircraft that has allowed the British fleet to be shipped to the British fleet is not the best choice for the two German aircraft carriers.

The commander of the German fleet was forced to make a choice, and it was estimated that 80% would accelerate the rush into the Atlantic Ocean - after all, the opportunity was rare.

The British fleet sent too many carrier-based aircraft. The two aircraft carriers, including the Furious and the Furious, have already spread out all the carrier-based aircraft they can send out, but there is still no news about the German fleet.

At this time, Lütjens had surpassed the British fleet on his bridge, and he had completed a pass without any danger.

The silent German fleet passed by the British fleet, and the British fleet was taking off the plane and searching continuously at the sea behind Germany.

Fantasizing about the busy and helpless appearance of the enemy, Lütjens's mood was unprecedentedly better. He wanted to shout a few words to the sea to express his comfortable mood now.

"We will be able to really get rid of the British fleet in a few minutes." Lütjens spoke on the bridge of the aircraft carrier Zeppelin and showed off to Hines.

After showing off, he turned his head and called out to the speed officer in the distance to increase the speed of the warship: "Order the fleet to increase the speed and keep the fleet's speed at 25 knots! We are about to enter the true Atlantic Ocean, gentlemen!"

The fleet's intact entry into the Atlantic Ocean was exactly the same as Li Le's initial expectations. The British Navy's disadvantage on carrier-based aircraft gave the German Navy too much room for development.

Hines was in a good mood, because when he arrived in the vast Atlantic Ocean, the fleet had to rely more on his carrier-based aircraft to reconnaise and find the enemy's transport fleet.

He looked out of the porthole with relief, the fw-190t fighter on the aircraft carrier deck on the aircraft carrier below the island, and smiled happily.

These planes are used by him to take off at any time and drive away the other party's reconnaissance aircraft. I don't know if it's luck or regret, these planes have no chance to take action, so they can only wait on the deck with peace of mind.

When he arrived in the quasi-Atlantic waters, Hines had to admit that Li Le's decision to temporarily replace the German aircraft carrier-based aircraft was very correct.

If this time it brings Messmit's me-109t fighter, then whether such sea conditions can take off will become a problem.

The turbulent Atlantic Ocean shakes the aircraft carrier Zeppelin with a displacement of 30,000 tons, but it doesn't feel weak.

The huge warships advanced at full speed in the huge waves, and the waves slapped at the bow sometimes splashed to dozens of meters high.

It has to be said that the harsh sea conditions of the Atlantic Ocean are a huge test for every ship that fights or sails here.
