Chapter 1472： Encounter One (1/2)
Chapter 1472 Encounter 1
Just as the German fleet was fast approaching the port of Volissos on the island of Chios, a British fleet was cruising in the nearby waters, consisting of four British former dreadnought battleships, two cruisers and two destroyer groups. The fleet is heading north, but by mistake, the two fleets almost happened to go towards each other. The Germans go from north to south, and the British go from south to north...
”The German fleet attacked Lesvos. Their courage is really great.” Major General Wism on the flagship Triumph said, looking at the chart on the wall.
”Yes, when we were most interested, they gave us a bad deal, but now, the Germans should go back. The French main fleet is cruising near Lesvos, and no trace of the German fleet is found.” Said the officer.
”Since the Germans are gone, what is it to mobilize us? We can't catch up with the Germans.” Another officer complained a bit. In his opinion, the emergency dispatch tonight was completely an afterthought, without any effect.
”The order said that the British and French fleets should put pressure on the Allied fleets. It is estimated that the most is to plant a circle of mines outside the Dardanelles, and then arrange some security forces. We can never rush through the minefields and straits to go to the monarch Tantinburg is looking for trouble with the Allied fleet, right?” Major General Wism paused and continued: “Of course, this cruise is a must. After all, the French army has suffered heavy losses, and we cannot remain indifferent. Even if we go through a cutscene, we must show that Our attitude, otherwise, the French might not even have the courage to land in Turkey!”
Although Major General Wism said something harsh, it is true from a political point of view. Military, if the Germans go back, then all fleet movements are actually useless. But from a political point of view, this time the French suffered a loss and the British were indirectly responsible. After all, the French fleet believed in the British intelligence and neglected defense. If the British don’t make some representations, it’s really impossible to justify.
The British and French navies did not analyze the Spey fleet based on the character of Earl Spey to continue to fight in the Aegean Sea, but they still decided to mobilize the fleet. To some extent, it can be regarded as a blind cat and a dead mouse? However, even better, unfortunately, the dual-release destroyer squadron almost found a clue!
The British fleet is also called to be careful. There is no way. The main German fleet has appeared here, so what else is impossible? Moreover, in the distance, the British destroyer seemed to have discovered the submarine, and this made the entire British fleet feel a bit of pressure. The Allied surface fleet and the submarine were dispatched at the same time. There was nothing wrong with this. Therefore, Major General Wism decisively ordered the fleet to implement light control. And also started to take the zigzag course, this time the British were good, because in this way, the outer submarine cordon could not capture the specific course of the British fleet, not to mention the attack, and the direction did not know how to report, so, The earl did not receive the submarine's alert.
”Please indicate your identities.” The British destroyer Garland suddenly found that there was a vague shadow of a ship at 10 o'clock on its port side and tried it from a distance of less than 2,000 meters. The somewhat surprised British immediately sent a light signal to the opponent, ready to verify the identity of the opponent.
Of course, for the first time, the British naval officers and soldiers on the Garland did not think that this was an Allied warship. After all, the German fleet ran here, it seemed a bit too much... So Garland once again signaled. ”Please show your identity!”
”Fuck! We seem to have been discovered?!” At the same time, the German destroyer S128 was opposite to the Garland. The other party appeared in its southeast direction, and it was still using a light signal that he did not know. At this time, the identity of the other party was also ready to be revealed, anyway, it must not be his own!
