Chapter 1099: New officer takes office

Chapter 1099

One month ago, a small conference room in the British Admiralty.

"Have you really decided? According to your plan, we will pay a lot of costs and take certain risks, and if something goes wrong, then Betty is your role model." Jie who is in charge of the most powerful naval power on the planet Admiral Rico said to Lieutenant General Ivan Thomas who was sitting opposite.

The British navy also made some adjustments to the naval command team after the Thunder-Surbrus campaign ended. With such a big incident, it is necessary to find out a few problem characters. Betty is naturally the first to bear the brunt. As the top commander on the front line, he bears the responsibility for more than 50% of the defeat.

If you change to another person, you are lucky to be thrown directly to the edge of a certain world. For example, in history, Betty's deputy, Major General Moore, because of Betty's wrong order, this buddy was rushed to an idle fleet as commander, which is a kind of disguised exile. And like this time, the loss was so heavy that it was enough to throw Betty to the military court for trial. Send off 6 battleships of 1 dozen or more light cruisers and 2 dozen or more destroyers... This can't be said that there is no one in the future, but at least it is also unprecedented!

However, the final result of this buddy was demoted to major general, and then served as the commander of the battlecruiser squadron under Ivan Thomas, commanding the three battlecruisers Tiger, New Zealand and Australia. This is already considered to be against the sky, okay? At least give Betty a chance to start all over again.

As for why there is such a result, this can only be said to be the result of the game between the upper navy and the fleet. Sir Fisher and Churchill admire Betty very much, because in their eyes, there can be such a thing in the depressed Royal Navy. It is very rare for someone who dares to fight and fight fiercely is very rare. Fighting is risky, but if the officers and soldiers are held back because of the risk, it is not good. So they subjectively want to keep Betty.

And what about the fleet? Jericho is a responsible person. He knows that most people, including Major General Moore and Major General Hood, are actually not responsible, especially Major General Hood, who has done a good job strategically, but It just can't beat others, there is no way. So when the Admiralty promised not to hold other personnel accountable, Jericho also accepted the punishment of Betty. In fact, to be honest, Jericho did not like Betty, on the one hand because he was too aggressive to send Jerry Ke was frightened, and on the other hand it was because of his distrust of this man's character. But Betty has the ability after all, which deserves recognition.

Well, Betty, who has been demoted to major general, will definitely not be able to command the British Fast Fleet, so who will go? Sir Fisher, Churchill, and Jericho, the Royal Navy’s troika, rummaged through the entire roster of naval personnel and did not find a perfect candidate. Originally, Churchill planned to let Major General Hood come on board, but Fisher thought The fast fleet of the future will be dominated by fast battleships, and Major General Hood's specialty is a bit wrong. And Jericho also expressed the hope that a reliable person would stay by his side, but the motion was not passed.

Major General Moore was originally mixed with Betty, and his level is not bad. But the same professionalism is a bit wrong, and let him take care of Betty, the original boss is not good, after all, the two sides are very unhappy about the previous issue of responsibility. So from a personnel perspective, this is not good either.

So, in the end, Jericho made a proposal to let Evan Thomas be the commander of the fleet.

"I absolutely, absolutely, absolutely disagree with letting this coward who let Su Xiong go as the commander of the most important squadron of the British Empire!" Upon hearing this news, Sir Fisher angrily threw the pen in his hand. On the ground, the splashed ink even fell on Jericho's uniform. The latter just frowned, and then Churchill, who was next to him, followed.

"Your Excellency, in fact, General Thomas did a very good job. He solved the Su Xiong fleet at least temporarily. In the fleet battle between the two sides, General Thomas did not have any tactical problems. If it must be blamed, then We can only say that our battleship is not very powerful. Facing the same battleship, the Japanese Fuso class performed very well. I think the outcome of the Indian Ocean naval battle is not a problem with General Thomas, do you think it is?" Churchill was very peaceful. Said.

However, with just a few words, the hairs on Sir Fisher's neck stood up! The opposite Jericho gave Churchill a thumbs up in his heart! This bald head is too powerful! This is called Hidden Jifeng, hiding a knife in a smile! This is a negotiable tone in the ears of others, but in the ears of Sir Fisher, it is basically equivalent to a fat pig facing a butcher!

Betty resisted half of the responsibility, but who resisted the remaining half? ! The navy agreed that for the failure of this naval battle, the responsibility of the warship was at least half! Firecrackers were fired as soon as they met. God can't save it. Look at the warships sunk in this battle. Four of them bear the names of perfect cats! Who advocated these stuff? Who threw these cheating warships to the navy? Who is clamoring to make the entire fleet patrol?

Fisher, you old guy keeps saying that there is a problem with that and that there is a problem, can you really pick yourself out? See who is in front of you! One is your immediate boss, Churchill, and the other is the commander of the Grand Fleet. Don't make me anxious, otherwise the remaining half of the pot will be thrown for you! Then Sir Fisher was decisively frightened~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I can’t help but be scared, I can’t afford it.

"I believe in the strength of General Thomas. After participating in the Indian Ocean's encirclement and suppression of the Suxiong Fleet, General Thomas is very knowledgeable about these fugitives running around. He is now preparing to make a plan. I believe, will he In the far future, the situation will change."

Jericho promised that he said this at the time, in fact, to give Fisher a step down, he really did not intend to take action in the near future. Unexpectedly, however, Churchill caught this. Summon Thomas immediately and ask him to think of a way...

However, what Jericho could not think of was that Thomas really had a plan this time, and he was anxious to realize his plan than Churchill! After learning about this, Jericho stopped Thomas before he could submit the plan to the Admiralty.

Now Jericho has Thomas' plan on hand. If the other party can't give a reason, then I can only apologize! Jericho can't pass this level!
