Chapter 903 Tear of the British Admiralty 1
Betty's fleet was attacked, the battle cruiser of Queen Mary sank! The Grand Princess sank! General Betty's flagship Lion sank! Betty's fleet has been destroyed!&1t;/p>
Lieutenant General Geram and Major General Hood have joined! We have eight warships! We secretly leaned up and launched a sudden attack! The Saxony caught fire! The Germans began to adjust their formation! We and the Germans are shooting! The Elin Aess is sunk! The German fleet is killing and killing! The Indomitable is sunk! The Germans have surpassed the god-like killing!&1t;/p>
The team battle ended, Betty, Geram, Hood hit gg....&1t;/p>
In short, this is how the entire war process was. Starting from the first telegram after both sides opened fire, the First Navy and the First Sea Minister did not receive a positive and positive report! From the lines of the telegram, both Churchill and Fisher could feel that in this battle, the British fleet was beaten and beaten... This was something that had not been done for hundreds of years. When was the British Empire fleet beaten in a large-scale naval battle? There was no Crimean War and no Napoleon era. I am afraid it was back to the British-Dutch War?&1t;/p>
The last defeat of the British Royal Navy's larger fleet may have been the Battle of Texel on August 21, 1673? This was 2oo years ago, right? And that time was at most a failure, not a beaten one, and it was still fundamentally different from this defeat. This time, he was slaughtered and had no strength to fight back. Fisher seemed to see the ancestors of the Royal Navy who were already in heaven saying to himself: "Baby, I am desperate about your performance!"&1t;/p>
"What's the situation?! The most elite battleship of the Royal Navy was harvested by the other side like straw!" When he received the news of the British fleet's defeat and retreat, Fisher slapped the telegram in his hand heavily on the table, his face full of anger, and there was still a hint of panic?&1t;/p>
"A bunch of cowards! Betty, Geram, Hood! They failed the trust of the British Empire! They tarnished the glory of the Royal Navy! They should all be judged!" Fisher did not hide his resentment, and the high and radical words rang out in the office of the Admiralty.&1t;/p>
"Arranging people immediately and blocking all news. We cannot let the media and the Chinese know about the defeat of the Royal Navy! Also, contact General Jericho immediately. We need all the parties involved in this battle to be present.... We have a meeting, well, it's a meeting." Just as Fisher was venting his anger, Churchill, who was beside him, knew what he should do... He needs to wipe the British fleet now!&1t;/p>
"Do you even hide it?" asked the officer next to him.&1t;/p>
"You can reveal some news, the loss result is to be determined. Well, just like that, don't tell the people in the parliament for the time being." Churchill said calmly. It is not the first time that he has done something like concealing failure. Churchill had already concealed the matter of Su Xiong killing the two divisions of the Australian and New Zealand troops last time. This time, he obviously has experience!&1t;/p>
What's more, it's not the only one who conceals losses from the parliament and the people that exaggerates the Warring States Period. The 6th Army is also doing it! As a politician, if you can't even hide it, then why do you still think of a politician? Besides, confirming the results of the war is a very troublesome thing, and making some mistakes is inevitable. Can it be called concealment? Is this very normal?&1t;/p>
"No matter how big the problem occurs on the battlefield, we must at least ensure that there is no major fluctuation in the rear. Sometimes rumors are more terrifying than failure on the battlefield." After the war, when the media interviewed Churchill, who was called the "lying expert", the latter defended himself in this way. Of course, this is a later story, so I won't mention it for now.&1t;/p>
"Sir Fisher, don't you think what we need to do most at the moment is to communicate with the naval generals first, understand the reasons for the failure of the battle, and then make remedies? Simple resentment and condemnation have no effect." After Fisher's revelation was almost the same, Churchill stepped forward to comfort him.&1t;/p>
In the UK, the status of the First Navy Secretary was higher than that of the First Sea Minister, and when Churchill made this suggestion, Fisher could not refuse. And as he said, the British Navy needed to continue this meeting to reevaluate the opponents opposite the North Sea and formulate a new strategy!&1t;/p>
"Not only the fleet commander, but also the head of the intelligence department are coming. The failure of this battle is not a problem of the fleet itself, but a problem of the entire Royal Navy. Intelligence departments, fleets, and command decision-making agencies cannot be separated. I can say responsibly that the problems inside the navy are even greater than those outside enemies!" Fisher's words have a meaning of "the enemy is in the Navy"....&1t;/p>
At this time, on the special train to London, Jericho and his fleet commanders were also preparing for the upcoming meeting. In addition to sorting out relevant information, the fleet commanders also began to discuss the reasons for this failure. According to the nature of human beings to turn the blame, all the generals participating in the war had a common idea. The intelligence of the Navy was so crappy. I don’t know who the fleet commander was. Forget it, Prince Ruprecht seemed not very conspicuous in the navy, but even the scale and group of the fleet participating in the battle were wrong. This was absolutely, I lost half of the war! And the other feeling was that I could not beat it, but I could not beat it in all kinds of ways! I absolutely couldn’t beat it!&1t;/p>
"Do you have any feeling that our shells hit the German warships like stones hitting the walls, and the opponent's armor-piercing bombs deal with us are like hot knife cutting butter?" Betty finally said something everyone agreed. In summary, the biggest shock brought to the British by this battle was that a warship of more than 20,000 tons went up and exploded in ten minutes. Major General Moore even said that the biggest reason for his survival was because of two points. The first is naturally the blessing of the omnipotent God. The second is that the opponent and the gun skills of the warships they captured were a little different from...&1t;/p>
"Our lion and tiger have no effect except fast speed, and Sir Fisher has made great contributions." Betty continued. After saying this, although no one caters to it, it was because Fisher has a high position and a high position. But in fact, it is true that although the degree is fast, the combat effectiveness of the fight is still poor.&1t;/p>
