On the third day after the battle, the battle report written by Cour and Thomas was finally sent back through a telegram. On the morning of the fourth day, the replies of the telegram were sent to the desks of the First Minister of Sea Fisher and the Minister of Navy Churchill. After carefully reading the contents of the document, the two decided to hold a meeting.

"I can smell a strong smell of decay from this telegram." Fisher was as mean as ever. "The words in this article are shirking responsibility, and there is also a faint complaint about the naval warships. They encountered the German fleet, but were defeated by the Germans! Our most advanced warship was actually defeated! This is simply a shame! I think Thomas, or some people on the warships, have unshirkable responsibilities!"

Sir Fisher has a bad temper. In fact, after the Battle of Doggel Sands in history, in addition to throwing the blame to Major General Moore, he also blamed the captain of the Tiger Perry and the Gunners and others for being cowards! Well, the latter still makes some sense, because the accuracy of the Tiger is indeed a bit worse. Now, the Jazz himself has a distrust of the battle report sent by Thomas, which is largely due to his confidence in the Queen Elizabeth-class battleship!

"There is still little intelligence, and we still need to wait. I think that as the commander of the large fleet, Commander Jericho should have also seen this telegram. I hope he can analyze this naval battle from the perspective of naval technology." Churchill said it was quite pertinent. Churchill was not from the front line of the fleet like Sir Fisher and Jericho, or served in the fleet. He didn't know much about naval technology, so he wanted to hear more opinions from people.

"Okay, we can discuss it later and wait for more information and Jericho's arrival." Sir Fisher naturally couldn't exclude Jericho.

In the afternoon of the same day, Jericho had already arrived in London, and the evaluation of the naval battle officially began in the conference room of the Admiralty. At the beginning, Sir Fisher spent nearly fifteen minutes accusing Thomas and others of their faults and dereliction of duty, and emphasized that the telegram was really wrong!

"First of all, I need to emphasize that from the current situation, the battleships of Queen Elizabeth and the battleships of Barrym have indeed suffered heavy blows, which is a very heavy blow! Just now, from the news sent from the port, Queen Elizabeth has been drained out of nearly 2,500 tons of sea water, but the drainage work is still not over. Whether it is Barrym or the Queen, their turrets and main armor belts have records of being penetrated." Jericho talked happily.

"And what do you want to say? They should fail?!" Sir Fisher said angrily.

"At least, judging from the current information from the ports and fleets, the German fleet is very powerful! Their artillery is powerful and well-trained. This is an objective fact. We can improve our tactical level through training, but we can't reduce the opponent's hit and artillery power." Jericho said mercilessly.
