Chapter 147 Anticipation
In fact, Princess Elizabeth went into the wrong room and went into the wrong bed! What Elizabeth really started to feel about Li Mo was when Li Mo scored twice. Simply speaking, Elizabeth was conquered by Li Mo with JJ. In the eyes of the queen, it became their princess with vision, okay! This is also considered God's gift, Elizabeth did not walk to an old man's bed.
"Your Majesty Queen, this matter is still kept secret now. Then we will give Hitler a foundation to remove the firewood."
"Well, um...you ordered the local fleet to be strictly guarded and not be attacked by Germany under the guise of drills."
"I understand, Your Majesty the King, I will order the local fleet to prepare."
...
Li Mo had no experience in naval battles, and just continued to sail according to the original plan. However, by the second week, according to the staff's calculations, Li Mo and the others should have encountered Redel's fleet at this time, but Li Mo did not find any shadow of Redel's fleet. What was going on? Li Mo was puzzled and quickly summoned several main commanders to discuss:
"Everyone, I'll call you all today. I'll just have one question, that is, we sailed according to the established route, and according to the calculation, we encountered the Redell fleet today. However, our carrier-based aircraft has found a range of 300 nautical miles, but we still haven't found any trace of the Redell fleet. Why does this happen? Let's analyze the reason."
Stephen continued Li Mo's words:
"Did the fleet led by Marshal Redell did not follow the established route, and thus missed it with us."
Li Mo thought for a while and said to Stephen:
"According to the exercise rules, if one side does not follow the established route and makes the two fleets miss the battle, then the side that changes the route will automatically give up the competition. So when Marshal Redel has absolute strength, will Marshal Redel choose to avoid the battle? Obviously, it cannot be. Even if Marshal Redel divides his troops, there must be a fleet following the established route. Since this is the case, why haven't we found traces of the Redel Fleet?"
Hahn, commander of the destroyer fleet, continued:
"Can it be that a ship in the Redell fleet had a malfunction and stopped to rest?"
"Impossible, Marshal Redell will immediately drop the warship, and it is impossible to drag down the entire fleet for that warship. Shouldn't Marshal Redell deliberately slow down the ship in order to cooperate with his submarine operations? You should know that the submarine's navigation speed on the water is also around 17 knots. This speed can only be half of the surface ship." Submarine commander Jerry answered Hahn's words. After hearing Jerry's analysis, Li Mo felt that it was very likely to be like this.
Li Mo stood up and walked to the map, thinking carefully that Li Mo's aircraft carrier formation was not afraid of Redel's giant ship cannons, and could use kite flying to hang Redel to attack. However, his father-in-law's submarine was the biggest threat to Li Mo's aircraft carrier formation. Could it be that Marshal Redel deliberately slowed down the ship in order to cooperate with his father-in-law's wolf pack tactics? Li Mo understood.
"I understand that Marshal Redell must have deliberately slowed down his fleet and then let his submarine formation go forward. Marshal Redell wants to use the submarine wolves tactics to deal with us. What Redell estimates is that even if we have enough anti-submarine capabilities, we will be embarrassed by these more than 30 submarines. At this time, their main fleet will arrive. Illegal us will be wiped out in one fell swoop."
"Ah!...what should I do?"
Although the commanders attending the meeting were brothers of Li Mo, they were not optimistic about such an exercise with a huge gap in strength. In their opinion, Li Mo would not be able to win. They had no experience in submarine tactics, and their anti-submarine methods were very limited at this time, mainly because they did not have the magical artifact of sonar.
"It's easy to deal with. Prime Minister, we will travel a hundred nautical miles towards the Pacific Ocean, and then wait for the search. The planes sent out to search for are kept within a range of three hundred nautical miles. The remaining destroyers, submarines, helicopters and aircraft are all searching for the sea surface within thirty nautical miles. U2 submarines cannot stay in the water for a long time. They will float to the surface to charge. As long as we discover their submarines, the Redell fleet will not be far away. Commanders, your mission is to anti-submarines. As soon as you discover local submarines, you will immediately call for air force support."
Li Mo's order was quickly executed, and of course it was sent back to the command. When Hitler and the German senior management saw Li Mo's telegram, they both felt that the boy Andet was quite flexible. They actually saw that Marshal Redel wanted to use a submarine to deal with him. Marshal Redel's methods and steps to use a submarine were also guessed by the boy Andet, and that Marshal Redel's trick sent to trample his retreat had not been guessed by Li Mo.
In fact, although everyone is not optimistic about Li Mo, Li Mo's ability to have this strategic analysis has been recognized by all senior executives in the command department, including Hitler, who believes that Li Mo is a rare strategic command genius.
Li Mo immediately turned the right ninety-degree route and headed deep into the Atlantic Ocean. The left side of the Li Mo aircraft carrier formation was two hundred nautical miles away from the coastline, and the encirclement squadron sent by Redel happened to pass from 350 nautical miles away from the established route. Redel had calculated a long time ago that the range of carrier-based aircraft was generally 350 kilometers, which means that the search range of Li Mo's aircraft carrier formation was at most 300 kilometers, while Redel's encirclement squadron passed from 350 nautical miles away from the established route. In this way, Li Mo's aircraft carrier formation would not find Redel's encirclement fleet.
Now that Li Mo's aircraft carrier formation turned ninety degrees, the distance was quickly approaching. After Li Mo drove out 100 nautical miles, the distance between his aircraft carrier formation and Redel's encirclement squadron was 250 nautical miles, which happened to be within the search range of carrier-based aircraft. At this time, more than 20 ships led by Lieutenant General Rutt were about to pass through this area. Such a huge fleet was soon discovered by search aircraft in the air.
This is the unpredictable factor in the war. Some accidental factors are large enough to change the outcome of the war. The situation this time is similar. Of course, if Li Mo is successfully encircled by Rutte, it will be a little more troublesome, but Li Mo is confident that he will jump out of Marshal Redel's encirclement. Of course, it is best to discover Marshal Redel's "conspiracy".
When Li Mo sent the order to drive 100 nautical miles to the command headquarters, the people were shocked again. Could it be that Undet was the son of God? Radell's secret encirclement tactics were discovered? But they did not see the telegram that Li Mo suspected that Radell was preparing to encircle.
