"Your opinions have been put down. General Thomas, you will be temporarily suspended and then undergo routine review. And General Betty, you are better, at least you are still a captain of the Royal Navy. After the repair of the Tiger is completed, you can take him to continue galloping on the sea. In short, for the current situation, I can only say I am sorry. This matter is not all your responsibility, I should bear greater responsibility. But..." In an office in the Admiralty, General Jericho, the commander of the Great Fleet, said to his most trusted subordinates in pain.&1t;/p>

Jericho and Thomas are close friends, and the friendship between them can even be counted from the 1980s! When Jericho was the deputy captain of the Mediterranean Fleet flagship, Thomas was Jericho's flag lieutenant... The two established a deep friendship during the period of time they were together. Jericho was cautious and friendly, and Thomas was deeply influenced by him. But this time, Jericho really couldn't help Thomas. If something big happened, someone would always take the blame...&1t;/p>

To be fair, who is the responsibility for this matter? Jericho believes that the greatest tactical responsibility is himself. The German methods have surprising similarities with the last Thunder-Surbruce operation. They are both collecting information and paralyzing opponents through frequent actions. After confirming the British fleet's movement laws and vigilance measures, it is suddenly difficult to easily cripple a squadron of the British Navy with the entire high seas fleet!&1t;/p>

This time the Germans' actions were more direct than the last time! The last time they fought with Betty, they also acted as a pig and ate a tiger. This time, they directly used night to cover the Thomas fleet, and then after dawn, they used extremely violent means to kill three queens and one battle cruiser.&1t;/p>

Think about it carefully, the brains and courage of people who can design this tactic are admirable, and the German Navy's technological potential also shocked Jericho. You should know that when the Thomas fleet besieged Blüchel, the Germans seemed to know nothing about the new communication frequency band of the British, but now they can easily monitor and locate! Moreover, the Germans' tracking of the British fleet at night is also very terrible. The Germans can integrate airships and submarines well to form a three-dimensional reconnaissance network. In this regard, Jericho believes that the British are not as good as the Germans on the opposite side.&1t;/p>

To put it bluntly, the Germans used the division of troops of the British fleet after evacuation to ambush. The Germans were not showing their strength before, nor did they have any abnormal actions, but Jericho did not notice it, or the direction of understanding was deviation. He regarded the frequent attacks of the German fleet as a simple war of attrition, but did not expect the other party to suddenly go up and make a reckless move. Therefore, Jericho believed that the biggest responsibility in tacticality was himself. He failed to see through the German tricks that led to the Thomas fleet's experience today. In fact, when the fleets of both sides met, the result was already determined. The gap in strength was too big and there was no need to fight. To be honest, Thomas could come back with three warships and order the fleet to disband at critical moments. These were really good.&1t;/p>

But unfortunately, as a defeated general, all this is useless. The senior management and the people demand that someone must come out to take the blame. The Admiralty may understand something, but they are not willing to bear the pressure on Thomas. And what about themselves? Well, I can only say that the commander of the Great Fleet now does not have a suitable candidate except himself. So I can still sit in this position for the time being.&1t;/p>

As for Betty? This guy is definitely a lucky guy. If you want to say that he has the ability, he will definitely be the youngest major general in the history of the Royal Navy except Marshal Nelson, which means he has the ability! Although Jericho doesn't like his character and doesn't like him to go directly to talk to the Admiralty to talk about some things, Jericho admits that this guy is more capable among the current senior generals of the Navy.&1t;/p>

If Thomas's mistake was that he was unlucky and was plotted by the German fleet, then Betty also had a mistake in this operation. If he left immediately after seeing the battle cruiser Goben was damaged, then New Zealand could almost return to port safely. However, this time, Betty's approach was too rash, or the temptation in front of him was too great. It was a mistake to choose to fight the German battle cruiser. Of course, it was not denied that this evaluation was somewhat suspicious of hindsight, but from the results, the British Navy lost a lot in the end... When the Queen escaped from danger, she hid the New Zealand in...&1t;/p>

But this guy is also a capable man! At the inquiry meeting of the Admiralty, Betty asked everyone here with great emotion: "When Nelson, Drake and other naval ancestors encounter a 3-for-2 situation, what will they choose? We have three main battleships, and the other side has only 2. In this case, if we just avoid it, then I can only say that the Royal Navy has rotted from the bones! Until we evacuated, the German reinforcement fleet did not appear, which shows that our previous prediction was correct. If we had to say something wrong, then we can only say that the God of War was not on our side. This is something that no one can do."&1t;/p>

At that time, Jericho believed that Betty, who was standing in front, was almost saying that the New Zealand was a scumbag, and those who designed this warship should be on the gallows... Although Jericho wanted to say this, the witty Betty attributed the failure to an illusory fate. Whether you believe it or not, at least there was an excuse. Of course, why wouldn't this happen if someone did the German warships? Then, naturally, Sir Fisher could help Betty block the gun. There was no way, the perfect cat came from his idea!&1t;/p>

Betty's words are really reasonable. If he doesn't dare to fight back with absolute advantage, the fighting spirit of the Royal Navy may really be destroyed before the fleet entity is defeated. If he is timid in everything and only seeks to protect himself, then the soul of this navy is over. Therefore, even if Betty's behavior is questionable, under the premise of "political correctness", the punishment for Betty can only be raised high and then gently fall! So, the final result is that Thomas temporarily stands aside. Betty can continue to hang out in the navy.&1t;/p>

"So what will happen to the future of the Express Fleet after the Queens complete the repair?" Thomas asked at the end of the conversation.&1t;/p>
