1855 United States Tycoon

When Anthony left, Churchill politely sent him out the door, and then returned to the small living room with a calm face. His wife Clementine Hozier knew that Churchill had been attacking the fleet because of the Germans. The pressure is very high. So he smiled at him and offered him a glass of milk.

"Winston, did the Germans make you angry again?" Clementine asked with a gentle smile. Generally speaking, she doesn't care too much about Churchill's work, but if Churchill's emotions are very Obviously, she also knew that she had to find a way to help him resolve his emotions.

"It's not about the Germans." Churchill said fiercely. "The Germans are our enemy. They are just fighting for the own country. It's okay. Although I want to kill them all at once, I don't Hate them. But... I have never seen such a brazen person!"

At this point, Churchill's voice trembled.

"Oh, Winston, are you angry for the man who came just now?" Clementine asked. "What did he do?"

"That damn traitor! The scum of the British!" Clementine didn't mention Anthony, who had just left. Fortunately, when he mentioned him, Churchill's image immediately appeared in his mind, and he could no longer suppress it. With anger in his heart, he stood up abruptly, "This bastard who should go to The Underworld!" He threw the glass cup in his hand to the ground. With a "boom", the glass cup broke immediately. Half of the milk was spilled everywhere.

A maid heard the sound and walked to the door. Clementine smiled at her and said, "Winston accidentally knocked over the glass. You came just right to help clean up the ground. Winston, be careful too. Don't step on the broken glass."

The maid walked away silently. After a while, she walked in gently with the tool, cleaned all the glass slag on the ground, cleaned the floor, and walked out silently.

"I'm sorry, Clementina, I'm so excited. Didn't you scare you?" Churchill stabilized his emotions and said to his wife apologetically.

"Winston, can someone who can be your wife be a coward?" Clementine smiled playfully at him, leaned over and took his hand and sat down on the sofa.

"Clementine, you know, I hate those who are not loyal to their own country." Churchill took Clementine's hand and said, "That Anthony is still a British nobleman, but everyone knows it. , He is actually the spokesperson of the United States hypocrite. You know, the warships that the United States hypocrite sells to us now are the warships that the United States hypocrite sells to them, and even their shrinking means of warfare is also the United States. What the hypocrite taught them. And the United States hypocrite is now letting the damn traitor come to us on his behalf to sell us so-called things to deal with the Germans. And...In short, the damn United States makes the Germans more efficient. Kill us so as to make money for the Germans, and then'help' us kill the Germans efficiently so as to make our money! And which traitor still..."

Clementine just looked at Churchill with a smile and didn't speak. She knew that Churchill's emotions had been released...

...

Two weeks later, four more destroyers joined the fleet searching for the German attack fleet in the Atlantic Ocean. These destroyers are equipped with the latest equipment used to track German radio signals-radio locators.

The German raid ships are inseparable from their radio communication for successfully and continuously attacking targets. When a group of cargo ships set off from a certain port, the German spies lurking in the port will use radio stations to send out relevant information about the fleet, and then there are German submarines in many places on the route. Many times, submarines will find the fleet, but they may not be able to occupy the attack position and launch an attack. In the case of unable to complete the attack, they will also use telegrams to send out the message of the escorting fleet, and then receive the telegram from the German navy command The Ministry will send telegrams to the surface fleet to coordinate the activities of the surface fleet. Because of the transmission distance of the telegram, some submarines will also act as transit points between the German attack fleet and the European continent. In order to ensure that they will not miss the message, the time of the message exchange between them will be relatively fixed. Therefore, by analyzing the laws of the Germans, we can analyze which of these telegrams were sent by the assault fleet. And when they send a report, they use a radio locator to determine their general direction.

The Germans use short-wave radios to send their reports, and short-wave radios are sky waves, which are transmitted by reflections from the ionosphere. Because of the reflection, the position given by the radio locator is not accurate, but they can at least give an approximate direction. In order to better determine the position of the German fleet, the British need to let the Germans send more reports. Every time these telegrams are intercepted, it can provide the British fleet with an opportunity to update the position of the German fleet.

So the British organized a fleet of thirty-five merchant ships, two cruisers, and three destroyers. They set off from Boston and headed for Britain in a mighty manner.

This fleet is exceptionally cunning, accelerating and decelerating many times and changing course many times along the way. This makes the submarines arranged by the Germans on this road need to send out new news frequently, and the attacking fleet often needs to communicate with the command by telegram. In this way, under the guidance of these radio waves, the British naval fleet gradually approached the position of the German fleet.

...

It is September now, and the sea breeze on the Atlantic Ocean is already quite cold. This is especially true when you stay at a height of up to two hundred meters. Although Sergeant Orel was wearing a cotton-padded jacket, he was still shivering with cold in the hanging basket of the balloon. He raised his binoculars and looked around. Suddenly he discovered that there seemed to be something near the sea horizon over there...

"Found a German warship!" Sergeant Orel shouted loudly into the microphone, "At ten o'clock, a German warship was found!"...

Rear Admiral Hood’s fleet began to accelerate. According to Sergeant Orel’s report on the balloon, the enemy should have only one battlecruiser and three cruisers. There are two battlecruisers in his fleet, in addition to five cruisers and six destroyers. Compared with the Germans, it has an overwhelming advantage. Moreover, because the Germans had not yet discovered Hood's fleet, they were still sailing at an economic speed, so Major General Hood was very sure to overtake them and destroy them.

The only regret for Major General Hood is that there is actually only one battlecruiser in the German fleet, and as far as he knows, the Chinese on this route have two battlecruisers. The British had prepared so before. A big bait, isn't it just to catch these two damn battlecruisers in one go? However, only one battlecruiser was found at this moment. This really makes Major General Hood feel depressed.

Of course, if the enemy really has two battlecruisers, it seems that they can fight Hood’s fleet. However, Hood believes that even if the opponent has two battlecruisers, they are definitely not the opponent of the own fleet. . This is not only because of the confidence of the invincible Royal Navy, but also because the composition of the own fleet is more reasonable, and it will naturally have a stronger combat effectiveness.

There are more auxiliary ships in Major Hood’s fleet, that is, more cruisers and destroyers. If these ships are alone against the German battlecruisers, there is probably not much chance. I am afraid that they will be torn to pieces by the opponent's cannon if they are not close enough for the own artillery to function. But on the premise that there are also battlecruisers on the side, the main guns on the German battlecruisers must be used to fire at the British battlecruisers. Because whether it is a British battlecruiser or a German battlecruiser, in essence, it is nothing more than an egg jumping around with a hammer. No one can withstand the bombardment of the opponent. If the Germans dared to shoot the British auxiliary ships with their main guns, the British battlecruisers would be able to steadily face Germany without evasive actions. The human capital ship fired a gun and then adjusted according to the landing point, and then another round. In this way, the opponent's bombardment accuracy will become very high, and then, maybe the German battlecruisers will die faster than the British cruisers.

But if the Germans do not use the main guns to attack the British cruisers, but only use the secondary guns to fight the cruisers, then the British cruisers can get close and use the own naval guns to build the superstructure of the German battlecruisers. Wash it again. Although the six-inch guns of the British cruisers cannot penetrate the main armor belts of the German battlecruisers, not all places on the warships can withstand the firing of such naval guns, not to mention a battle that is inherently weak. A cruiser is a fully defensive battleship. Many things on the deck, such as rangefinders, such as many parts of the bridge, such as the secondary gun turret, cannot withstand the attack of the six-inch gun. The damage to these parts will also greatly reduce the combat effectiveness of the battlecruiser. What's more, there are several destroyers in the own fleet.

The so-called destroyers of this era are basically ocean-going torpedo boats. The displacement of these warships is no more than 1,200 tons, and the main guns are no more than four inches. But it can carry a lot of torpedoes. When the German battlecruisers are busy fighting with the British battlecruisers and cruisers, these little things have a chance to rush up and use torpedoes to paste the German warships. Face.

The lethality of torpedoes even exceeds that of battleship’s main guns, so once these little things launch a torpedo attack, the Germans must immediately turn to the direction of the torpedo to reduce the projection length in the horizontal direction. Reduce the risk of being hit by torpedoes. Because if it is hit by a torpedo, it will be a fatal blow when confronting an opponent's battlecruiser. But doing so will disrupt the original rhythm of shelling. The bombardment efficiency of the enemy will naturally be a mess. Because of this advantage, Major General Hood is full of confidence in Own's victory.
