Chapter 1126: ending
Chapter 1126
"If it weren't for the British seaplane, then we still have a chance to attack the opponent." Looking at the British plane that was killed by two J-1S seaplanes in the distance, Hipper said with some regret. The British aerial reconnaissance has now become the heart disease of the Germans. If this problem is not solved, the German fleet will not be mixed!
Moore evacuated with the fleet in a hurry, and Mochi finally appeared in Hipper's vision an hour later. "Welcome home, my brother!" Hipper's flagship Cedric sent a light signal.
"The end is a new beginning. Let us remember all the sacrifices and contributions made by the Blücher and Wiesbaden." Lefetzoff responded in this way.
"Go back, our mission has failed, and I will bear all the blame." Jericho sighed after seeing the telegram sent by Major General Moore. In the end, the big fleet was deceived! The Germans mixed a few Sibei goods in the warship berthed in the harbor, and sent the genuine goods out. At this time, the large fleet obviously had no time to run to the Skagerrak Strait to block its opponents. The safe return of the German fleet is a foregone conclusion, and there is no point in lingering here. After looking at the southern German mainland, Jericho issued an order to retreat.
"At least we killed the Blücher." Lieutenant General Charles Madden, chief of staff of the large fleet, said relieved.
"The significance of publicity is greater than the practical significance. The High Seas Fleet will not care too much about the loss of a dreadnought battlecruiser. If we take into account the fuel consumption during this period, as well as the sinking light cruisers and destroyers, our material losses are actually It's bigger than the Germans. The fundamental reason why we can call ourselves a winner is that our performance this time is better than before." Jericho said blankly.
Just when the large fleet under Jericho's command and Thomas' fast fleet began to withdraw. (The large fleet went to the Shetland Islands, and the fast fleet returned to Forth Bay and returned to its original layout.) Churchill and Fisher, two navy leaders in the Royal Navy in London, have also received intelligence.
"The fly in the ointment, I couldn't keep all of them." After speaking, Churchill handed the telegram in his hand to Sir Fisher next to him, and paid attention to the other's reaction.
"Well, this naval battle proves that the current Royal Navy is not all waste. We finally returned to the situation at the beginning of the war. We can re-establish the North Sea blockade, cut off the Germans' maritime transportation channels, and start serving the Russians. Blood transfusion." Sir Fisher said blankly.
Fisher is a little numb now, or can be regarded as admitting reality. Maybe he will defend his reputation in front of outsiders, but deep down he has realized that the Royal Navy's battleship design is indeed problematic. From a cost-effective point of view, the level of the German high seas fleet on the opposite side of the North Sea is quite a bit better. Street...
The prince led the team out and had a face-to-face meeting with Jericho. After watching Fisher, he knew that Jericho had made no mistakes. If he changed to someone else, he might not be able to do better, but the loss would be a loss. The light cruiser is dead if it is dead. There is no way for this TM, so now Fisher is still very tolerant to his subordinates. There is no way to be intolerant. Pull off Jericho and others, no one will take over!
But there is one thing Fisher said correctly, that is, the situation of the British navy is much better than before. The current situation of the two sides has returned to the situation at the beginning of the war. The British fleet has never thought that there will be no scum left on the German fleet! People's thinking is very realistic, that is, it is enough to ensure the British mainland, the English Channel and the North Sea blockade. The materials you need can be shipped from all over the world, and the German foreign aid is cut off. If the German fleet does not try to break this, then the two sides can be in peace...
The purpose of the British in history has been achieved, but this plane, well, because of the existence of the traverser. The focus of the battle between the British and German navies remains unchanged, but the high seas fleet, optimized from top to bottom, has repeatedly challenged the British Empire, and the most terrible one was the Battle of Dogel Sandbar. Because of the collapse of Betty's fleet, the British could only temporarily abandon the North Sea blockade. but now? When the British regained control of the situation, they also settled a battlecruiser. This is really profitable.
As for the Germans want to break again? The price they need to pay will be high! On the one hand, it is because the Royal Navy has more warships in service. Without the restraint of the Indian Ocean, the 7 queens rushing to the Gulf of Forth is enough to cause headaches for the Germans, and because of the enhancement of aerial reconnaissance. This time, it might not be easy for the Germans to take opportunistic tricks.
"Well, I think so too. Anyway, this is a big victory. What do you think of this picture? The picture of the Blücher capsizing. I hope it will be on the front page of all daily newspapers tomorrow." Churchill said. Language. "The only pity is that General Thomas could not attend this historic victory. A **** shell wounded him."
"Is Thomas injured? Who is in command of the fleet now?" Fisher asked with a slightly raised brow.
"Major General Moore will take over temporarily." Churchill said.
"Can Betty, then? Give him a chance." Fisher's words contained a hint of pleading.
"If he is willing to start from a capital ship captain, I think the problem is not big." Churchill replied.
"He turned out to be a lieutenant general."
"Yes ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ but he is a lieutenant general who made a major mistake. If it were not for his luck, he should have gone to a military court three months ago. I can give him a fresh start. Opportunity, but only that. If Betty wants to re-board the fast battleship captain, he will have to wait for the eighth Queen-class battleship to serve." After that, Churchill waved his hand to indicate that he didn't want to talk about it.
"His Royal Highness, Lieutenant-General Hipper is back with the Mochi." Lieutenant General Scheer sent a telegram to the prince.
"Really? It seems that we can finally start again. Let Mochi enter Kiel Harbour for repairs, and then let Hipper come over, we have to plan again, this time, our losses can not be for nothing!" The prince is determined. Said.
"Telegram from His Majesty the Kaiser, if it is convenient, I hope you can go to Brussels." Tirpitz said at this time.
"Uh, okay, let's go to Brussels first." The prince thought for a while and said, after all, some things cannot be decided by the prince and must be approved by the Kaiser.
