"Is there any of our warships there?" Churchill hadn't reacted yet, and he looked at Dudley Pound beside him.

"Yes! There are our seven destroyers and a cruiser." When Dudley Pound replied, tears were almost coming out.

"There are so many warships?" Churchill asked this subconsciously, and then he realized the key to the problem.

The ships Dudley Pound mentioned seem to be escort forces from the ck-1 transport fleet from Canada.

Churchill, who finally remembered how big the matter was, suddenly turned around and looked at Dudley Pound and shouted: "Damn it! The ck-1 transport fleet is there! This fleet is there!"

He was almost crazy, and he had to count it all, and the German Atlantic guerrillas found the most delicious meal.

And so many warships in the British fleet were unable to stop the Germans from rushing to the Atlantic Ocean, the largest transport fleet now.

"Where are the patrol ships nearby? Whether it is a destroyer or a cruiser, hurry to the vicinity of the ck-1 fleet as soon as possible! Immediately! Immediately!" He looked at Dudley Pound and ordered a little out of control.

In fact, whether the Germans were around the ck-1 transport fleet is not sure yet.

At this time, it was actually just a manifestation of Churchill's chaos.

By the time he realized how close the other party was to his weakness, he could no longer imagine what the ck-1 transport fleet would look like after being attacked.

Only one TC transport fleet was attacked, and the phenomenon of short-footed food in Liverpool in the UK has occurred.

If something happened to the ck-1 transport fleet now, then Britain will not only lose a large number of transport ships, but also lose valuable time.

Transportation and supplies cannot be reached anytime and anywhere. If you don’t arrive at this time, you can only wait for the next turnover.

But now who can guarantee when will the next transport fleet arrive? So the loss is not just as much as it looks on the surface.

At least, these ships will not float up again and participate in the British Navy's transportation mission, and they will no longer be able to return from Britain to Canada for the next transportation mission.

"Maybe things are not as bad as we think... Maybe the German fleet is just trying to escape." Dudley Pound comforted Churchill.

But Churchill felt his eyelids twitching, and what he had been thinking about was the problem with his ck-1 transport fleet.

Despite Dudley Pound's persuasion, Churchill still believed that the German fleet was already rushing towards the ck-1 transport fleet.

The German "shadow" intelligence unit must have once again taken British shipping into its own hands.

Thinking of this, Churchill could no longer sit still. He looked at Dudley Pound and ordered: "The Navy has spies! Our transportation plan is known by the enemy again!"

He couldn't help but think so. Recently, the "Shadow" troops have been causing trouble for Churchill. It is natural to take this extra time.

If you really doubt this kind of thing, it will definitely be endless self-suggestions. Under this psychological effect, people will subjectively interpret everything to their own assumptions.

Churchill, who was trapped in this tragedy, could no longer correctly judge what was happening in front of him. He immediately pushed his sins to the intelligence leak, and then subjectively believed that the Germans had a purposeful action this time.

"We cannot draw conclusions yet. Next, what we need to do is to ensure the absolute safety of the ck-1 transport fleet as much as possible." Dudley Pound advised.

Churchill thought that the same thing was the case. Priority to ensuring the safety of the transport fleet has now become a more important task to block the German fleet.

If the German fleet runs away, at most it will be more complicated when it is next encirclement. But if the Germans kill the ck-1 transport fleet, the losses suffered by Britain are immeasurable.

"Let's go back and investigate the information! Immediately order the fleet to turn and rush to support the ck-1 transport fleet!" Churchill nodded depressedly, as he admitted that Dudley Pound was right.

Dudley Pound quickly ordered his subordinates: "Send a telegram to Charles! Tell him about the ck-1 transport fleet! Hurry!"

The telegram flew from the British local command to the local fleet on the sea. The officer guarding the telegraph machine pulled over the identified documents and ran to the bridge of the battleship George V of the British King.

"Sir!" The officer handed the telegram in his hand to Charles. The local fleet commander took the telegram and just took a look, then almost fell to the ground.

The ck-1 transport fleet was actually late at this critical moment, and it happened to be at the position that the German fleet could reach.

This joke is definitely a big deal, because hundreds of thousands of tons of goods are definitely related to the life and death of the British Empire at this time.

"Churchill! I've only told me what's the point of keeping a secret? "Charles, who was so angry, didn't even plan to use the title of Prime Minister.

The other party kept it secret and kept it secret. In the end, the ones who kept it secret were all their own people! Charles, who had been worried about the intelligence department and the inquiry, had long been slapped in his heart.

He held the telegram paper in his hand and ordered tens of millions of unwillingly: "Let the fleet move forward at full speed! Turn north! Quick!"

Hearing his order, his subordinates looked confused - weren't they still driving from north to south just now? Why did they turn around and drive back in a flash?

Could it be that because the country has nothing to do, I found a damn general to spend their time?

Unable to figure it out, these sailors and officers simply stopped wasting their brains. Everyone executed the orders and began to slowly turn the entire fleet.

Similarly, General Somerville received the same telegram on the British warship, and was so angry that he couldn't speak.

If Churchill and Dudley Pound had told him about the ck-1 fleet earlier, then there would be more evidence when he analyzed the German escape route.

It was only at this moment that Somerville figured it out that the erased inspiration that appeared before was the German fleet heading north.

If Churchill had informed the ck-1 transport fleet in advance, Somerville would probably guess that the German fleet would advance northward.

Unfortunately, it is too late to say anything now. The German fleet has not been found, and its own transport fleet is in danger.

"Switch immediately and go north at full speed!" Somerville also knew that this time was not a good time to complain. He had to rush to the war zone as much as possible to prevent any sabotage operations of the German fleet.

Unfortunately, in his fleet, the maximum speed of the USS Balum battleship was only 22 knots, and the maximum speed of the USS Eagle aircraft carrier was only 23 knots.

This speed allows the fleet's maximum speed to be maintained at around 20 knots, which is even slower than the local fleet.

"Send a telegram to General Charles! Tell him that in order to expand the search area, our fleet will not meet with him for the time being. Go north at the current distance!" Somerville, who gave the turn order, looked at the old Ballum battleship, turned in the light not far away, and said.

It was completely dark, and the fleet could only temporarily use a formation of about 17 knots to slowly head north in the dark. By the time we arrived at the site of the incident, we probably had already happened.

Also aware of his fleet, General Dudley Ponder, who was not in the speed of his own, was also the local command center.

He knew that his local fleet and Somerville's intercepted fleet could not reach the target waters in time. Only the faster-speed battleships could arrive.

So the commander suggested that Churchill, who was guarding the command center for a day, said: "The fastest one is General Tovey's search fleet! In this case, it seems that it is still too late to let the search fleet head north overnight."

Churchill also knew that at this time, the only one who could be counted on was the fastest search fleet. He nodded in desperation and agreed to the plan: "Let Tovey go north with the fastest speed! Immediately!"

The actual distance between Tovey and the search fleet commanded by Tovey, whose intercepting fleet was similar, was received a few minutes later from the local army.

Only then did Tovey realize that there was a huge fleet of transportation and supply fleets in the waters near Greenland.

He scolded Churchill twice in his heart depressedly, but he could not ignore this telegram that seemed a bit difficult, and finally had to compromise.

Standing on the bridge, he ordered his fleet to rush to the war zone: "The fleet turns north and turns rudder! Heading 12 degrees eastward to the north, and move forward at full speed!"

Compared with local fleets and intercepting fleets, only the speed of the search fleet can be called full speed.

The battlecruiser Hood took the lead, followed by the Ark Royal aircraft carrier, followed by the Battlecruiser of Reputation.

The three warships lined up in a column and rushed towards the location of the ck-1 transport fleet.

After receiving the order, the search fleet rushed to the still calm waters south of Greenland at a formation speed of 28 knots.

Behind them were the fierce seven battleships and four aircraft carriers, two huge fleets.
