Sometimes things are so cruel. The more you are afraid of something, the more something will appear...

For example, when you forget to review, the teacher will randomly check the exam, and then let you, who can't remember anything, get out of the classroom and stand in the back of the classroom.

For example, when you follow your roommate to play black, and when you are playing the jungle blind monk, nine kills, zero kills, and five assists, the old professor of professional courses is furious and calls out, threatening to skip the class, those who skip the class will definitely fail.

For example, when I prayed with all my heart that the Germans would be deceived and let their navy stay in Brest, the fleet set sail that night...

Yes, when Churchill dreamed that the German Navy would not move, the German Navy set sail with all the assets it could carry under the command of Lütjens.

That's right! It's all the assets you can bring! Except for the battleship Bismarck that was repaired on the dock, all the warships set sail.

In order to maintain the overall speed, the German fleet did not even carry two armored ships, maintaining the flexibility of more than 30 knots while the entire fleet is sailing rapidly.

Lütjens was so moved that he shed tears of tears: he could finally take his own warship across the Atlantic Ocean without restraint.

However, things were not as beautiful as he thought - in fact, except for filling up fuel, most of the warships in his hand did not carry enough ammunition.

Battleships, including Tirbitz, only had remaining ammunition and had not received large-scale ammunition replenishment.

The more sufficient are two battle cruisers, because they equipped with 280mm caliber cannons, which have some reserves in Brest.

These reserves were originally supplied to the Schánhorst, but now they are allocated to the Gneisenau, which is considered to make up for the consumption of the two warships.

As for the poor Prince Eugen and the Tilbitz, the remaining ammunition was brought out from the port of Kiel.

Although it was not supplemented, the ammunition in stocks of these warships was enough for this action. What worries Lütjens was the various problems after returning.

This time, the ammunition of the warship is barely enough, but the next time you sail, you need to be replenished.

I heard that Redell is desperately mobilizing special trains, hoping to replenish Brest's ammunition stock. Now I can only hope that the replenishment can be put into place as soon as possible so that the German Navy will not be paralyzed in Brest.

The disadvantage of the navy's failure to prepare for war is dragging the German Navy's back little by little. Although the support of the head of state played a role in alleviating the situation, the navy was not ready to fight a real battle.

Fortunately, in comparison, the British Navy was not prepared to fight such a war...

Two armored ships drove out of the port first, took minesweepers and strolled around the periphery of Brest, and checked the route where the fleet sailed.

Later, under the surveillance of British submarines, the German ships drove out of Brest with a swagger, once again provoking the sensitive nerves of the British Navy.

"Not good! No good!" In the British Navy Command, an officer in charge of reconnaissance waved the telegram in his hand and loudly reported the demise.

He ran to the newly appointed Charles and pressed a telegram from the submarine that monitored the German navy's movements on the latter's desk.

"Sir... The news just came, the German Navy was dispatched. They increased their speed when they came out of Brest and rushed directly to the Atlantic Ocean." The officer said helplessly.

Whatever you are afraid of, Charles was really amused when he heard the news of the German Navy's departure.

Just now, he knew that the two fleets of ck-3 and ak-3 had entered the Atlantic Ocean, and that there were also two fleets of ak-1 and ak-2 that were floating within the dangerous range.

The ak-3 is a temporary supplementary fleet from the United States to the United Kingdom, consisting of temporary American transport ships drawn.

This fleet is full of food transport ships, in order to alleviate the losses of the British locals, because the ck-1 fleet and the TC transport fleet also suffer from the losses, resulting in the food shortage of the British locals.

As for the ak-1 and the ak-2, one is an arms transport ship, which is loaded with military supplies such as tanks and other that helped the UK order; the other is a supplementary ship for important supplies such as steel.

Listen to the things loaded by these transport fleets, you will know that the speed of these fleets is almost the same as crawling.

In addition, there are interference from German submarines along the way, and other issues such as routes have almost been well known to Germany.

In the past, the British transport fleet was fearless and even if the German submarines knew about the route, they could barely take the complete journey by relying on the escort destroyer.

Now, it is not the German navy's slow submarine force that is chasing these transport fleets, but a German fleet that can sail at high speed and surround and intercept transport fleets!

"Damn it! Including the small transport fleet, almost 10 fleets will be affected and affected!" Charles felt that his head was getting bigger.

He must now take countermeasures. If these fleets lose one or two, the British Empire's homeland will almost be in chaos.

"Let the local fleet be dispatched immediately..." Without caring about anything else, Charles could only let the fleet be dispatched first to cover the fleet that could be protected from attacks by the German fleet.

"In addition, let the nearest transport fleets move closer to each other and get as close together as possible!" In order to reduce losses, Charles had to give up efficiency and change the voyage of the entire transport fleet again.

Only by concentrating all the dangerous fleets at sea and then using their own local fleet to protect them can we minimize losses.

Although the German fleet was very fast, it was flexible but not strong enough. Charles knew that the opponent was very powerful in guerrilla battles, but he had the will but lacked the ability to fight the British local fleet.

Charles asked carefully, why did the Germans choose such a good opportunity to let their fleet enter the Atlantic Ocean?

But he still closed his mouth at a critical moment - now, for words such as spy intelligence, it is a taboo word in the UK.

As long as the German shadow troops are involved, the seriousness of the matter will rise, and eventually rise infinitely to a height that makes people collapse.

In fact, Charles also guessed that the German Navy must have referred to the submarine force's intelligence and finally determined the most frequent British maritime transportation, and at this time dispatched its own fleet.

Like the British, the Germans also deployed their own submarines on the east coast of the United States, which serves as early detection and provides early action parameters for wolves.

To be honest, the combat effectiveness of the British Navy's local fleet this time is even stronger than the previous local fleet.

The flagship British King George V battleship took the three battleships, Balum, Junquan, Rodney, Revenge and War-War-Fearing three battleships, a total of six battleships, which had just been assigned to the local fleet.

This time, only one battlecruiser in the Counterattack was left. The reason why Charles did not bring this fast-speed battlecruiser was that he had his own calculations.

The last time he used a battlecruiser to fight the German fleet, he lost two precious battleships, the Hood and the Reputation.

The painful lessons learned that relying on battlecruisers to compete with the German Navy's battleships is a very dangerous choice.

Therefore, Charles believes that rather than bringing the only remaining battlecruiser, it is better to bring a battleship with a slow speed but more stable speed.

Anyway, the British Navy's main fleet is generally slow, so there is no difference between carrying or not carrying.

Moreover, this time, Charles made up his mind to no longer let his bulky fleet pursue the German guerrilla fleet like the last time.

He planned to gather the transport fleets and arrive intact under the protection of the local fleet.

In Charles's opinion, can you run away from your German fleet? Then I might as well not chase after you! Just guard your own fleet and wait for you to come. If you don't come, my transport fleet will lose no losses. This exchange is guaranteed to make a profit.

To be on the safe side, the two advanced aircraft carriers, the Kweichow and the Royal Ark, also sailed with the fleet - in terms of force, the local fleet is still twice that of the German guerrilla fleet.

As if there was no loss, the warships dispatched by the local fleet were still unshakable to the German Navy. This is the strong foundation of the British Navy.

Including the cruisers searching for the German fleet and other auxiliary ships, the British Navy dispatched thirty various ships in one go, which was five times the number of German naval ships.

The one who carried this mighty local fleet was also a famous British navy general. He was General Tom S?v?Phillips, who was appointed commander of the British Far East Fleet in real history.

The changes in history made him, the general who had been sitting honestly in the office and served as deputy chief of staff of the Navy, had to take over Charles' position and become the commander of the local fleet.

As for whether he can avoid going to the Far East to eat Japanese torpedoes because of Li Le's butterfly's wings, it is still unknown.

"Call General Somerville, if he thinks he can, he can send the USS Glory aircraft carrier to help search the German fleet..." Charles, who still felt that his arrangement was not safe enough, issued another combat order to Somerville.

Charles, who tried his best to make a series of tactical arrangements, also knew that he had made the entire shipping arrangement mess.
